Maps from my first visit to London in 2000.
Drawn with felt pen on tracing paper, copic markers to underside of tracing paper then stuck on (crookedly!) to white paper and into a black paper photo album.
Hmmm... I like these maps very much - the use of colour and the 3D components are more successful that most of the maps that I do these days....but back then I had more time for these things ...no that was definitely not the case! I was more careful!! And just for the record I traced these maps.
BTW... I am doing more trip preps than I can or will post....
This is Velo Orange's Grand Cru threadless bottom bracket, fresh out of the box. Notice that rather than threaded cups that slide together, this has threadless cups that thread together. As you thread the two pieces tighter together, the aluminum expansion sleeves slide up the slightly tapered cups, locking the bracket into place. Most people recommend greasing the threads, the cups underneath the expansion sleeves and the expansion sleeves, so we'll do all that before insertion.
1974- The Tower editors hosted a get-together of Prep Driver's Ed teachers for an afternoon of anecdotes to form the foundation of the yearbook's feature on Prep students' shared experience of learning how to drive. Senior editor Steve Auth, who had come to the Prep from St. Benedicts when it closed suddenly in 1972, moderated the discussion with Wrestling Coach Fred Pierro (l) and dean of faculty Sal Caprio (r). The latter's most memorable lesson ran amok when he drove with a student down to Newark, left him at curbside ("I'll just be a minute") while he entered a store on an errand for the headmaster, emerging to discover "Murphy" had been forced by the cops to move on, leaving Sal stranded and the student (unlicensed!) meandering around the warren of one-way streets in the city trying to find his way back to campus. Once rescued Sal's colleagues did not let him forget it.
1987- Prep Hall of Fame Swim Coach John Slevin gives workout instructions to the Pirates swimmers at the University’s pool. He followed longtime coach John Prisco in 1981 and coached through 1988. He was followed by Randy Schweitzer, and then Joe Alexander in 2018.
Building motors, wiring up the electronics, and packing the parachutes…
A missing o-ring in the yellow G64 motor Erik is assembling here will create some trouble later in the day.
Tom is explaining his custom-built L3 carbon-fiber and titanium nose cone with integrated drogue-chute cannon. A custom ammonium nitrate charge shoots the inner cylinder of the nose cone forward for high-altitude parachute deployment.
