Conjoined Wrecker twins - usually these two don't transform but I dislike designing Transformers who cannot, so . . . they're a monster truck.
These racks were powder coated. Wear marks after first 120 mile ride. Verdict: looks good, not so durable. It hasn't worn all the way through yet, that seems to be a long ways off. The powder coat was done by UV Metal Arts. UV did a great job.
The tree-line on Mt. Washington's west face can be seen in the lower portion of the photo, as we see MWRC #2 "Ammonoosuc" powering her way up the world's most treacherous trestle just after the first snowfall of the season. Fortunately, she's not depending on traction to make this climb. She's riding the cog rack, and she has dual cogwheels to ensure a safe grip. On this day, The Cog was the only way to reach the summit of New England's highest peak. The snow and ice storm overnight resulted in the Auto Road being closed for safety reasons.
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!

Back to Svolver, Norway, for a look at the fish drying racks. Cod is hung on these large racks for days to dry out before being treated further to make Lutefisk. We had an onboard demonstration of the process, but I declined to sample the final product, which is the subject of many Norwegian jokes regarding it's taste and texture.
This shot, like the previous one in the same location, was taken at about 9:30 at night with the low arctic sun shining warmly on the structures.
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.
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.

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.
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)
A bike rack in the light of early morning. Nothing special really but the mood was fascinating, so I took the picture.

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.

A pair of Union Pacific locomotives pull NS 290 hard after taking a stop in Shippensburg, PA on the Lurgan Branch. The mixed auto rack/intermodal train is seen crossing Goodhart Road under threatening skies.
