J'ai pris le plus difficile des trajets
Pour ma vie, et celle de mes bien aimés
Pourtant, J'ai trop perdu; Pourquoi? Dieu seul le sait
Ton sourire enfantin, de mon visage, si prés
Sillone toujours les plus profondes de mes pensées
M'amene un soupir léger, plein d'espoirs et de regrets
J'aurai tellement aimé t'avoir a mes cotés
Pour aujourd'hui, pour demain et le jour d'aprés
Mais realité oblige, tu n'es plus la ... tu m'as quitté
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi, ton coeur, tu m'a laissé
Alors, je t'ai laisse le mien pour ne pas t'oublier
Espérant un jour que notre union redeviendra realité
Je t'attend ici, a coté du téléphone qui pleure ...
Tu lui manques beaucoup, ca me fait tellement peur!!!
Que puis-je faire? Moi aussi, il est brisé, mon coeur.
Moi je ferme les yeux, et je m'endors
Dans l'espoir de te rencontrer, mon trésor
Te voila!! je ne veux pas me réveiller; j'essaye fort
La lumiere de matin brise mon sommeil et mes espoirs
Soleil: Vas t'en!! La realité, je ne veux pas y croire
Trop tard! elle m'a atteinds; je sombre dans le noir

Yesterday between rain storms, someone brought the disk harrow, Mark had bought, and this Minneapolis Moline Rake/Tedder. It never looked like it had seen a grease gun in years, the balls in all of the grease zerks were rusted in place but we were able to break them open, there must be 30 or more of them on the thing. We put a couple springs in place of some bailing wire on one lever so we could adjust it. Scraped off some hardened grease around the gears, so we could adjust the gears into forward or reverse, as we wanted it to go. We then started to pull it around to see how it would work, making adjustments as we needed to. It will be handy to stir the hay next year to help it dry better. This year I tried raking the hay into small windrows after 1 day to try and help it to dry but even in a small windrow it is still too thick to dry very well.

I was trying to get a nice shot of these guys raking the beach. How very resort. I thought this was the shot, but...
Hugelkultur raised beds filled w/ rotten wood. This makes for raised beds loaded w/ organic material, nutrients, air pockets for the roots of what you plant, etc. As the years pass, the deep soil of your bed becomes incredibly rich & loaded w/ soil life. As the wood shrinks, it makes more tiny air pockets - so your hugelkultur becomes sort of self tilling. The first few years, the composting process will slightly warm your soil giving you a slightly longer growing season. The woody matter helps to keep nutrient excess from passing into the ground water - & then refeeding that to your garden plants later. Plus, by holding SO much water, hugelkultur could be part of a system for growing crops in the desert w/ no irrigation.

I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours with a local blacksmith and take some photographs of him whilst he worked.
He was making a fire poker with a Rams head decal. I've got to say the process was absolutely fascinating and at times I found myself watching rather than taking photographs. The craftsmanship that goes into these things is astounding and it's a wonder these guys actually recover their costs when you consider the amount of time it takes to make one item.
I'd take on of these over a cheap chinese machine forged fire poker any day.

Nothing else quite defines a classic steel bike like curved fork blades.
While it is possible to purchase pre-bent fork blades, often times the rake offered by the bend is not suitable to the riding and handling characteristics desired by the builder/rider; or aesthetically the bend on the fork does not suit the rest of the frame design.
Therefore, more freedom of design is enabled by starting with straight fork blades and using a variety of methods to bend them to the intended rake.
The fork blade bender that the Bundys used resembles a large manual tube bender. It features two contoured dies which the fork blade sits between. One die's contour is straight, pushing the blade against the the other die's curved contour. The straight die is pushed with a pivoting bar and wheel that rolls along the length of the die as the bar is pulled across to bend the blade.
The curved die on the other hand is fixed into the base of the blade bender. Its curved surface is what causes the fork blade to bend as it is pressed against it. Different curvatures will result in differing amounts of fork rake. We have not bent any fork blades ourselves yet so we don't know the exact rake the dies create, but Peter Bundy tells us the two curved dies are for track and road fork rakes.
The trick is to use a long metal bar with the pivoting bar for maximum leverage to bend the fork blade.
Check out the fork blades of varying bend and rake, from old school Reynolds 531 and Columbus SP, to a brand new, unbent Columbus Max.
This Wednesday we cover the VillaVelo/Bundy fork jig, which is used after the fork blade bender does its job. Keep an eye out for that.

The cloves are just deep enough that I can rake lightly over the surface of the bed without dislodging them. Because the soil is so fluffy, rain will gradually compress it around the cloves and snuggle them into the correct depth.

SAND SCULPTING RUSHES ON THE GOWER PENINSULA.
Summer 2011, it’s a sunny day in Wales and on a glorious stretch of beach in the Gower Peninsula Matt Lawrence, Lead Creative at Rushes MGFX Studio, was commissioned to team up with land art collective, blackprojects to create a real massive scale sand version of the legendary Rushes logo.
The sculpted design is the main star of the Rushes Sand Ad Campaign to show the breadth of skills of the newly expanded MGFX Studio. Design. Construct. Create. Literally!
Weeks of planning were involved to find both a suitable location with perfect conditions of flat sand and tidal movements and also to create a scaled constructional plan to work from of the Rushes logo. Matt Lawrence, Head of MGFX Studio explains, “The coastal location of Rhossili Beach was chosen for having perfect conditions for our sand art. Bikes & bike trailers were loaded with the construction kit, cameras, rakes, food and construction team (the kids). Then we cycled out a good mile to get a nice clean section of beach to ourselves.”
Three and a half hours later the design was finished with the manpower of three sand artists, Matt's son James and their rakes. Matt continues, “Inevitably land art creates attention so throughout the construction process we had a small audience of fishermen and children who seemed totally baffled by our activities. The end result is a huge success, one that draws wows of amazement. The final design measured a whopping 53 x 40 metres, making it visible from miles away, even from the top of the coastal cliffs far behind the sand dunes. The design lived for a total of 48 minutes which gave us just enough time to take beautiful photos and shoot our film as the sun went down and we watched the sea wash away all our hard work.”
There was plenty of them. The BACKYard is done. All the trees are bare. The front yard has three stubborn maples that just won't drop their yellowed leaves.
This is a hay rake used to collect cut hay or straw into windrows for later collection (e.g. by a baler or a loader wagon). It is also called a wheel rake.
