Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon)

It's easy to see which way the wind is blowing when there are two wind vanes on top of the mast.
I made some lightweight cars for my wind up engine. On my current track (comprised op 2 loops from an old 9v set) it will do the following:
by itself: make one lap
with one car: almost a full lap
with two cars: little over half a lap
I have ordered a loop of this old style track as I beleive it will give it better traction than my 9v track does.
I experimented with different tires and these worked out best (offset tread pattern)
However, the tires are loose on the wheels. I think I may sand them to rough them up and give the tire more grip... maybe even a small dot of super glue just for maximum track adhesion
I'm hoping to make a clever mini layout based entirely on this engine and possibly adding some other wind-up fun to it as well!
Southern Indiana's share of hurricane Ike has given us terrible, terrible winds today. Trees falling everywhere, damaging property like this cabin and a car or two. The town was without power for several hours today. Our energy company had 150,000 without power earlier. It seems to be over now, thank goodness.

My hair and skirts are blown all over the place but I don't care; being feminine outside is always a joy so I just keep smiling.

Wind: From ESE at 41mph gusting to 49mph ripped the tarps on the Aerial Lift Bridge to shreds.
The waves were coming over the pier walls last night. The sidewalks were full of water/slush and ice was growing on everything the water could touch. It was really "cool". . . and windy.

What would be a better way to spend a summer evening than with good music, a beautiful setting and perfect weather? We joined friends of ours for an evening of jazz at the Edith Wharton house in Lenox, Massachusetts. The wind was actually calm, the concert was free and there was a cash bar.
Maurice White and Earth, Wind & Fire. I still need to get this framed, with ticket stubs, maybe.

The F-35 will find any moisture in the air and turn it into vapes.

This 170 turbine wind farm in Gray county was the first in Kansas (2001). The spring wheat down below the towers is just starting to turn brown in advance of harvest later this month.
A sweeping cold front races in, bringing with it 50+ mph winds and a very cold rain. I choose to be around large prairie structures when the wind blows, as they funnel the winds to higher speeds around them and spin it in wonderful vortices around them.
Feeling the wind on Crow Head shore looking towards Keppel Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Newfoundland and Labrador. It was the day after hurricane Nicole. Gladys looks almost like a red butterfly about to take off.
