Usually people hesitate a bit to cross the path of the camera; usually this is enough for me to get the snap I'm aiming for. This one put on extra speed instesd.

Mynd tekin fyrir MÁV grúppuna, þemað að þessu sinni var Fools..Ég er ekki með neitt studio hérna heima þannig ég varð að notast við pils og fékk restina lánað..
Mér er enn hálf flökurt eftir myndatökuna gott hefði verið að hafa reykingamann til aðstoðar..

April and I just did a little micro-run of shirts. I had a few shirts leftover from a run of dyes I did a while ago and we silk-screened the logo on 'em just now. Almost like a real promotional item!
So...I've been trying to get the second prototype happening enough to send out to one of our fine Fools here who plays in an AC/DC cover band. He's got a casino gig later this month and has graciously offered to let me use some footage in the Kickstarter demo.
So I was originally just planning to use epoxy to hold the old bushings in place. Not a good fix, but workable in the short term. Then I saw these bridges, which aren't as tall as the Badass knockoff that came on the prototype.
You want the pull as straight as possible, which is why it's important for the top height to work with the neck angle. It's also problematic with the Badass design that the saddles ride so high over the tension line of the bridge. I call it the, "Mauser Effect," because I'm a nerd.
Heh...the "Broomhandle" Mauser that was used for Han Solo's blaster (you knew this was a sci-fi analogy before I even started, right?) is kind of famous for the grip being so low (Solo?) that, when fired, the recoil attempts to spin the firearm out of your hand. I mean, Winston Churchill carried one and they were apparently reliable German-engineered hardware, but the idea is for the force ("Use the Force!") to be transferred to the anchor point (meaty grip) in as straight a line as possible, so's it don't turn into a pinwheel and fly out of your hand.
Same thing with guitar bridges. You want all the loading to be as linear as possible for a whole variety of reasons and the Badass wraparound is like the Mauser of the guitar world in that respect.
So I got this flatter, better designed bridge...and it's a couple of millimeters too wide to ride the existing span of the anchor studs.
HOWEVER...the new studs and bushings are fatter than the ones that came with the prototypes. I could pull those out and push them in by hand. This pair of bushings required me to get out my Tiny Whacker...which sounds like a terrible thing to have...at least if you want to get dates. Heh...anyway, these may do the trick. They seem to be in there really tight now. Even tighter than with the shims.
This had a set of 9-46 strings on it. I think I'm going to go out tomorrow and get some 9-42s. Maybe a little less tension and the new hardware will make this work well enough for the demo.
BTW, I am super-psyched to get footage of the Malcontent being played by an AC/DC cover band. I mean, that's perfect, right? Thanks go out to our intrepid Fooligan!

Hey, just as a heads-up. I am finally starting to get on top of my effects backlog. I'm really sorry for the wait. The cataract surgery and then getting glasses because it left me farsighted and then getting used to working with glasses and then the dog ate my homework and I had a flat tire and there was a swarm of locusts and...
I was an absolute fanatic of geology when I was in High School. Took it at "O" level (in England), though I was really at an "A" level. Collected various rocks and minerals for years, and I think my favourite is Iron Pyrites in its various forms - cubic, etc.. Unfortunately, I think my skin colour reflected in the many "faces" of this specimen when I took the photo. Love the way the tiny Quartz crystals have formed in little nooks and crannies, just like wildflowers will do.
Having seen Eagle142's recent image of this spot, I thought it would be fun to post this postcard view from just over 100 years ago. The card was posted in 1906 and it is interesting to see that it is captioned "Fool's Nook" even at that time when the pub was the Royal Oak.
Same location as before but decided to get my feet wet for this one.

The headquarters of the Fools' Guild, which probably started life as a plague house but which now sports a frontage designed by B S Johnson, including the famous Red Nose. The building is built round a training ring which in winter is roofed in canvas in the style of a big top. This top lifts off to reveal the ring below.
The Fools' Guild was created in 2000 in a limited edition of 300. It measures approximately 11 inches by 10 inches, and stands 8 inches high to the top of the 'canvas' roof and originally cost £350.
路中央竖立着这样一个雕塑,主角是一个小丑。小丑形象经常出现在莎士比亚的剧本中,他们往往比其他角色更聪明、尖锐,但却总是与 主要剧情保持一段距离。下面的基石四面铭刻着莎士比亚四部作品中对小丑的描述,其中一句对我来说太熟悉了,那就是《第十二夜》中的一段话,我们考试的时候都背过呢。
"Foolery, sir, does walk about the orb like the sun. It shines everywhere." -- Twelfth Night
A fool on the street --- and he can recite Shakespeare
"She livin' in this lie with him
No more coffee in the morning
I'm wide awake while he sleeping in
Know that's why your calling
You woke up chasing feelings, healing, trouble dealing
Coping with the fact that your alone
It makes you miss my body
Touchin', kissin', squeezin'
He don't know you're worth your weight in gold
Look at you fallin'
Do you even know what your fallin' for?
I see you fallin'
You traded my heart for some fool's gold."
When this train first rolled into view at Belmont Ave in the distance I thought that one of the oil trains had shown up. No such luck, it was just the morning road freight with some tankers up front.
