I was walking in the neighborhoods on the near east and southeast side of Indianapolis carrying my little pocket camera just in case and by pure chance came across three very unique vehicles all within just a few blocks. One of them was this old Dodge pickup.
2cfs - Beech Fork
Fairgrounds to 31E
Wow. This thing just keeps getting bigger.
We had 50+ out on the Beech Fork this Saturday for another great Paddle Pickup.
First I would like to thank everyone who makes this river cleanup possible. People like Mike Hammons with Central Kentucky Canoe & Kayak. He halts his own business and donates his entire fleet of canoes to us each year. And when we load these things with tires and old scrap metal then scrape them down the rubble dam, we really but the boats through the ringer. But with out them, the Paddle Pickup could never grow to be this large. So Mike, the Bardstown Boaters would like to thank you for all or your hard work and support.
We would like to thank Nelson County for providing all the means needed to remove the bulk garbage from the river.
We would like to thank the Bardstown Rotarians for providing t-shirts for all the volunteers of the Paddle Pickup.
We would like to thank the Bluegrass Tavern and Smith Brothers Distributing for providing us with a new banner for this year's event.
And special thanks goes out to Boy Scout Troops 142 and 147. They came out big for the 2007 Paddle Pickup. Over 20 scouts paddled the river, cleaning it up and removing tons of garbage from it. The Boy Scouts worked very hard on this day and it couldn't have been this great of an effort without them.
This year the Paddle Pickup removed more trash for our local stream bed than ever before. Over 80 tires were among the tons of garbage removed, which includes an old news paper dispenser that has been wasting away down at the Beech Fork for about a decade and of course your standard 20 bags full of beer and soft drink cans.
Sadly we had two blatant displays of disrespect to our river during the Paddle Pickup. A group of eight paddlers putting on at 31E threw down beer cans right in front of a group of volunteers who were removing tires from the river. Also a father son team of polluters threw down their bait container and soft drink cans while they enjoyed fishing at the freshly cleaned rubble dam.
Keep throwing your trash in the river, and we'll keep picking it up. We won't be stopping. One day these idiots will get the message.
If you weren't able to make it out this year, we'll be doing it again next year. It will take place again during the National River Cleanup Week.
Thanks to all our volunteers who helped make our local waterways a better place. We'll see you on the river.
I got my new Pickup the World Dynamic Trio pickup today and set to work installing it in the kitchen. It went pretty well I'm pleased to say and the sound is very good indeed.
Trans' tunnel is all finished and welded, just have to make a corrected top piece for around the shifter. Have some little areas to finish welding here and there and the section at the door where the body was lengthened for the 2-door sedan doors.

The box covering the upper cross-member around the drive-shaft. It has a bit of an offset because the upper 3rd link to the rear suspension is beside the drive-shaft.
Playing with doubleweave pickup. This was originally supposed to be a banner/flag for a friend's new baby, but I decided in the end that I just wanted to play with the technique before committing to a gift.
Yarn is #10 crochet cotton (natural for the top, stripes of purple, red, orange, yellow, green, and blue for the bottom). I am just making blocks of color for now to work on technique. When finished this will be just a colorful wall hanging for my studio.
Sett is 20 epi for each layer, threded 4 per dent in a 10-dent reed. Colored stripes are 20 ends (1") wide with 4 ends per layer between.
While this technique is fussy and slow, I am thoroughly enjoying it, and thinking of how I can use it in the future.
