Improvised on a cork trivet with straight pin, using a loop turner to weave. One strand fine mohair/one strand lurex.
This picture might need some explanation ;-)
Even though I have great blinds in my little office, its windows directed south mean temperature can rise sky high sometimes. The blinds aren't able to stop the heat that radiates trough the windows. I have wondered all summer long how I could construct something to survive better, but this idea came up in my head the very last day of August.
A sheet hangs down from a plank to completely cover the main window. I know this solution is really, really improvisation (it looks very primitive, I know), but it should work just well on days like today when the temperature outside rises to over 25 degrees Celsius, and inside it normally would get even warmer.
"Charge all Bayonets!" is not necessarily a last resort command anymore.
Pictured left to right are the T.A.H. MK XII, MK XIV, and MK VIII "Bayonets"
Commonly deployed with small squads of the infantry, multiple variants of the T.A.H. "Bayonet" were seen throughout the years of open conflict. The Mark XII (left) featured upgraded Lancer cockpit cannons and two Farnsworth 52mm cannons on the port side. The MK XIV (center) is ceremonial variant; used for protecting important people, events, and places.
Ridiculously inexpensive to manufacture and equipped with interchangeable weapons systems, "Bayonets" were loved by the Devil Dogs they supported. After their introduction, infantry casualties dropped by over fifty percent. The Corps brass quickly voted for full integration and soon the ratio of Marines to "Bayonets" was five to one. A standard squad would consist of five to twelve Marines and one to two "Bayonets".
The battle ready variant "Bayonets" have multiple weapons mounted on their legs (only unlockable by a fellow Devil Dog).
A capable or injured Marine can also be strapped into the back and offered safety, as the Marines who operated MARK VIII's are trained never to retreat or surrender.

Today the We're Here group members are looking for some Crazy Eye Glasses none of those around here so I've had to improvise, the weather is too appalling to go shopping for them.
Blood, Sweat & Tears (also known as "BS&T") was an American music group, formed in 1967 in New York City. It fused rock, blues, pop music, horn arrangements and jazz improvisation into a hybrid that came to be known as "jazz-rock". Unlike "jazz fusion" or simply "fusion", which tended toward virtuostic displays of instrumental facility and some experimentation with electric instruments, Blood, Sweat & Tears' sound merged the varied stylings of rock, pop and R&B/soul music with big band coupled with "combo" (small ensemble) jazz.
Lyrics to "Spinning Whee;" by David Clayton Thomas
What goes up must come down
Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin
You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin' wheel all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn
Did you find the directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true
Day 103 (v 6.0) - a planned photo was foiled by the weather turning good. that rainy night shot continues to simmer on the back burner.
I threw in a large pot a few fresh produce that I found in the fridge. Simmered for a while and added a can of pinto beans toward the end. Sprinkled some chopped cilantro on top and voilà, dinner's ready ! It was delicious and tasted even better the very next day for lunch.

I'm sorry in advance, just when you thought you've seen enough photos of this locomotive. Here's my whole list of contributions to the 2024 season of "Pursuit of the Tea Kettle".
Here's the first shot, descending the grade at Castle Rock. About a dozen people walked directly in front of my pre-planned shot as the train came into view, so I had to improvise by hiding them behind some conveniently placed brush.
