Yipee! My flickr friend nebulon9 has sent a replacement pair of scales for my Swiss Army Knife all the way from Sacramento in California. That's the power of flickr :-)
If you get a chance to visit Hoover Dam, make sure you check this Bronze Sculpture of High Scaler who built this dam. I have done quite a bit of rock climbing years ago and after seeing what kind of harness these guys used, makes me wonder the kind of working condition they were in. I can't imagine hanging in one these primitive support system in hours at scorching dessert heat. These folks were tough like a nail, no doubt!

when I think of something big, I always think of the ocean so when we had to find something very big to compare to something small, I knew what I wanted to do. Also, when you think of something small you think of children. I think the little girl looks really small compared to the never ending ocean and she stands out from the blue background dressed in red. I think that if I could capture more of the sea in a panorama, she would have looked even smaller but I didn't want to include the islands in the background because I thought they were distracting.

Originally issued by Danbury Mint in 2011. It is 1:24 scale.
The model is finished in Packard Blue.
When DM issued the model, they did so with incorrect whitewalls. Sometime during production, the model was corrected and reissued. I had an opportunity to add the corrected version. I was going to sell the "error" version, but didn't. Since I like both examples, I've kept them.
Title: Scales, balance
Description: Balance and weights set. This set belonged to Edouard Cafler. The set is contained in a wooden box with rounded corners. The box has two metal hook latches at the front of the box. The interior of the box contains the balance set, which consists of a metal balance beam with a dial at the centre, and a suspension ring at the top. Attached with green cord to either end of the balance are two brass dishes. There are compartments in the base of the box which contains the balance, and also a set of 14 brass weights ranging from 1 gram to 200 grams. There are complementary compartments in the top of the box to hold the weights in place. Handwritten on the underside of the lid of the box is a list of conversions from grammes to pounds and ounces.

2 more days to reach my target weight. It won't be all that I want to lose, but it will be close.
I guess I shouldn't say it was a set goal. I basically decided early on in January, that I needed to flush my system out and drop some extra fluff that had appeared over the holidays. I cut out some things and really started paying closer attention to what I was putting in and when. When all is said and done, it will be close to 50 days of cleaner living and I know it has done something by the way my clothes fit me, but I am curious to see what the actual weight change is.
