Conjoined Wrecker twins - usually these two don't transform but I dislike designing Transformers who cannot, so . . . they're a monster truck.
One of my proudest moments on a pool table was when I sunk all my balls in a row without giving my opponent a turn. Tina can vouch for me...she was there ;-) hehe!

This is a torture device I think is most well known its been in movies, books, everywhere usually the first device talked about in schools when talking about torture devices for history,and it is called ,(The Rack ) For the helpless victims dislocation of every joint in the body and elongations up to 12" were possible. 'Surgeons' might reset joints to allow the torture to be repeated. Severe lacerations and loss of blood would result from racking even without the additional use of red hot pincers to tear off nipples, tongues, ears, noses, and genitals.
and of course it brought the wretched heretics closer to God.
Sometime the rack was limited to dislocating a few bones, but the torturer often went too far and rendered the legs or arms (sometimes both) useless. In the late Middle Ages, some new variants of this instrument appeared. They often had spikes that penetrated the victim's back - as the limbs were pulled apart, so was his or her spinal cord increasing not only in physical pain, but the psychological one of being handicapped at best, too. so next time you climb out of bed in the morning and think your back hurts,just think of the rack and you will hop out of bed with a skip.
Ahhhh, I know what you're a'thinkin,' "What a rack!" I suppose Ramey had the Specialized Lubricant barrel on this rack but I bet he didn't need to "grease HIS pig." I know MY congresscritter needs a lot of greasing! You've heard of my get-rich-quick scheme of picking up all the left over horses heads around out west and shipping them off to D.C. for final assembly, pigs heads too. Certainly, Ramey didn't need a lot of lubricants for his hay rake or his nag, especially in barrel quantities. I guess that the barrel floated off to where I found it. The barrel looks like it's for tractors even though it's marked, "Since 1839." I wonder what lubricants were really used before Titusville, PA or the building of America's railroads? I wonder how close an ace model maker could get to this texture and patina.
I decided they raised cattle here and the finished cattle were herded up to the mining camps in the foothills to feed mine labor. It is interesting that the term "Foothills" is specific to this area as are Eastern and Western Slopes.
I mentioned that I thought the Ramey spread was a dirt-poor farm and a lot of work was needed to stay above water, so to speak. Heck, he even labored so hard, he worked the handles off that wheelbarrow. I had headed out to the Ramey farm once again to inspect the farm for details and came away with some more. I have no idea why the county decided to prop the old buildings, behind me, by throwing in even more lumber but they claim the Ramey place is old, and it must be. The out buildings are not so good after the river undercut them. The textures and details caught my eye. I think back to the working days of the farm and wonder how busy and productive the Ramey place might have been?
I have a Ramey PhotoSet filled with before flood shots and some that show the damage to the pasture on the north side and structures. One fissure shows in the bottom of this image. In fact walking across the pasture and through the structures involves tracking around all the fissures all over the place, or travel with a ladder. The Ramey photoset is under farms. A lot of the shots are at better times. I guess this is another loss to water diversions and gravel mining. The 61st street road has been rebuilt down to the 63rd Street bridge past the gate at Broley and I can now drive in. Apparently, the water streamed up to 4 feet high over Ramey. We all know oil floats. The pond south of Broley overflowed everywhere including Ramey after the floods cut through the gravel pits around Broley and sliced through 61st Street and rejoined the original St.Vrain. California can't seem to get a drop an the northeastern tier can't buy a degree. What Climate Change? I guess America's biggest enemy will be the upcoming petroleum wars. We endured a few days below zero and I feel like I gotta get outta here.
The latest in an ever-evolving series about about our ever-evolving living room media rack. New installations include an HP 5532A frequency indicator (with nixie tubes!) that once belonged to NASA, and an old (but apparently functional) HP 132 Dual-Beam oscilloscope.
As always, the goal here is something along the lines of "Dr. Strangelove in the Batcave."
Stay tuned for further updates.
Mechanism to open Selkirk Trestle to marine traffic.
N.B. May not be currently functional. This trestle forms a link in the Trans Canada Trial on Vancouver Island, BC. The recently reconstructed Clover Point has been designated the trailhead for the Great Trail on Vancouver Island. (see Update below)
Nitto Campee to be used on this summer's tour... Paris to Grenoble. This rack, I think, was originally for 650b but, with a little modification sits nice and low over the fender meeting the hole drilled for my usual front rack. I now need to get a couple of struts to attach to rack mounts.
It's hard to tell because there's so much crap in the background but I'm making a front rack level with an Anvil BBG fixture and a digital level. There are so few tools involved with making a bike rack. These are the two most important...aside from the files.
Took a drive out to Mission Island to visit the deers. There were only 2 deer with racks. They all stopped by looking for a bite to eat.

Once cooked, you can toast the crumpets. Or allow to cool on a rack to eat later. They will freeze well, too.

Most times when I visit the zoo I try to take a shot of this bicycle rack. I love the design and it just fascinates me.

About 97% of the fabric, bias tape, and rick-rack I used for these aprons was purchased from the Knittn' Kitten, our local gem of a fabric store.

The mall entrance is straight ahead behind all of these racks lined up waiting to be sold.
This Sears was opened in the early 1960s and had a good 50 year run before it closed on March 23, 2014. Here are some pictures from just a a few days before the store closed (March 19th).
The Findlay Village Mall opened in 1962 with a JCPenney and Britt's discount store as anchors. Sears built a store in 1963. In the late 1980s the mall underwent a major renovation that involved adding a new wing with an Elder-Beerman store and reusing the old Britt's store as a Kmart. In 2003 the mall lost Kmart (now Best Buy, Dunham's, and T.J.Maxx)and Sears closed in March 2014. Currently many sections of the mall have a notable amount of vacancies.

Now THIS is a bike rack. A little roof to park your seat under in case it rains. Fantastic.
There are so many different bike racks here in Copenhagen, some with ways to cover the seat, but this is just cool.

One of the nice things about tearing a house apart and rebuilding it is that you can design-in features that make your life easier down the road. That's what happened here: This part of our house was originally supposed to be a fireplace. But just when that started to look a bit too pricey, a friend announced that he was selling the rack from his video production studio.
We bought it, then built an alcove around it (with lots of power, data, and coax connections hidden in the wall behind). Handy-dandy. The top part, however, is a bit too high for daily/ergonomic use, so I've been on the prowl for random rack-mounted electronic thingys to install up there, if only to look interesting.
That quest led me to my new Radiac, yesterday. In addition, I also found a few new pieces of archaic electronic gear to fill in the top section of the rack. Check the notes to find out what each thingy is.
When I was in the military, stationed in Germany, there were only about four things a guy could do.
1] shoot pool
2] throw darts
3] drink all the German beer you could get your hands on
4] harass all the fine looking German girls who loved American Gi's.
Me, being of high moral integrity [cough], never really participated in 3] or 4]. I just couldn't get into it. You're suppose to be representing America, and here they were, getting drunk as fuck and trying to bang anything willing to give them 15 minutes. In regards to these guys, I avoided them like the plague. Safer that way in many aspects.
But I did like to shoot me some pool. Nothing more relaxing than knocking down a rack of balls, while drinking some ice-cold Bitburger, smoking some hash and listening to the Violent Femmes.
In an effort to give some of the guys something to do on Christmas Day other than miss their family and friends, the powers that be that ran the Army's 8th infantry division [8th ID] decided to have a division wide pool tournament, open to any member of the 8th ID. My only problem was is that the unit I was assigned to, the 39th trans squad, a small unit of only 6 whose principle duty was to police the 8th ID, writing moving violation tickets and generally giving them grief whenever they tried to go on maneuvers.
So it was a heavy brow that I received when I asked if I could shoot in their tournament. "8th ID only, get lost" was what they told me. So I called someone up their chain of command, told him that seeing as I was stuck on base and that I had nothing better to do than inspect all of their vehicles for correct registration numbers, in the snow, on Christmas Eve... that if i was given something to do, say, participate in a pool tournament, then I would be just too dog gone busy to do any vehicle registration inspections, Merry Christmas.
One guy called another, whom called another, and I was placed in the very last bracket...
60-something games of pool later, i had swept all those brackets and won the whole enchilada...
