...horses.
We only see them when they are on duty, but behind the scenes, they have daily routines and training that keeps them a valuable part of our city’s Police Force.”

My main work area in my studio, looking much tidier than it EVER does, comprised of my white Ikea table (which I love because when paint gets splattered on it, it peels off!), my sewing dress form (who is named Martha...her other half, George, is currently in storage), my inspiration board, and a variety of pretty vintage knick-knacks to brighten up my space.
At work coming my way this guy in monkey suit, I got a "Hi Heath". I thought I know this guy. Later when asked why he was wearing the monkey suit, he said "Why not".

This is my current studio space, a converted 2 car garage that I have taken over from a painter that once worked in the space. Its nice to have room, but this space is temporary, I don't have all my big toys here. Believe it or not, this is the clean version!
эта девочка из вологды выиграла какой-то там конкурс имени киры пластининой. ей лет 12, кажется. такое, очень невинное порно.
it's almost 9:30 and i can't leave work because it's raining and my windshield wipers are still broken from last week's snowstorm (i'm supposed to drop the car off at the garage on friday when the part is in). if it gets too late, greg's going to have to drive an hour out here to get me. and with more snow expected tomorrow, i'm going to have to probably just have my car towed back to worcester.
last year i had battery issues with my truck. christmas just doesn't seem to get along with my vehicles for some reason.
I'm a Mom. I work at home. This week we have been stuck at home due to snow and ridiculously freezing temps. We are all bored out of our minds. So, last night, before bed, I built this fort. Big Girl found it first, and hasn't left it all morning. Little Girl came down later, has already knocked down the tiger stripe blanket, but is otherwise enclosed with her sister. They're doing their reading homework in there.
WH - Work is not just a four letter word.
And if you're tired of seeing blanket forts from me, too bad. It's winter. And today is a -20*F windchill day. We can't go outside. Gotta do something to entertain the kids.

Wow, I think this marks my greatest length of thread-neglect! Almost 5 months! This isn't the new normal though, I will have some time again to work on the car and clear out my parts shelf which once again is getting a little cluttered with the crap I buy on ebay.
I have not done much to the car since my last update besides drive it until the first snow in December. The alternator remains un-rebuilt. Fortunately (?) I made a discovery that the noise I was hearing under certain conditions was not the alternator at all, so it won't need anything besides diode replacement (coming soon).
Now, I did find where the noise was coming from-one of the A.I.R. check valves had failed and sounded something like an accordion for a few minutes when the car was restarted hot. The A.I.R. system switches between two modes of operation-one in which the pump pushes air into the exhaust manifolds, and another in which air gets shot into the catalytic converter-both of which help to keep emissions down. The mode selected depends on what conditions the ECM sees. The check valves keep the boiling hot dirty exhaust from flowing into the hoses and pump which would ruin them in short order-ironically kind of like a diode! In my case, the check valve for the exhaust manifold had failed or was beginning to and on a hot restart the air from the pump would disturb it to create that annoying noise. So it needed to be replaced. Here is the part in question in case you have never heard of/seen it (I didn't)
It is in the vicinity of the power module
The little bastard screws onto a "T" fitting that looked more like plumbing equipment than an auto part to me. On each side of the T, there is a metal line that runs to each exhaust manifold. Clean air flows through the check valve when the switching valve directs air to it.
While the two lines came off easily, the check valve itself was stuck like you would not believe. The tee fits into a 7/8ths wrench, and the captured nut on the valve is 1 inch, and using my two largest wrenches on each with every ounce of strength I had I was only able to break them loose after soaking in transmission fluid for a few days. And even then just barely.
The exact part number of the failed valve was not available so I substituted another one that was otherwise identical. I suspect the differences in part numbers (there are a ton of them) have to do with unique backpressures for every engine configuration GM made across all their cars. I bought one spec'd for a 307 Olds V8, which I figure is as close to the 4100 in terms of back pressure as I could get. Could be totally wrong on that too. Anyway, it no longer makes the noise!
Now the other part of the A.I.R. system is for the catalytic converter. The check valve on this one was good, and I suspect it lives a much easier life than the one for the manifolds as it is not subjected to the high pressures or heat. But it needed love too, when I had the catalytic converter changed, the shop cut off the end of the pipe which entered the old bead converter at a 90 degree angle and used high temperature hose to make the connection.
I can't say I was happy with the way it looked but it seemed to do the job. Except that when braking or accelerating hard, the hose would allow the metal tubing (now loose) to move back and forth which made for an annoying knock. I wasn't sure what to do but I was certainly surprised when I learned Rockauto still stocks this pre-bent metal tubing unique for the 84-85 Eldorado. Go figure. I ordered it and when it arrived, I was disappointed to discover that it lacked the mounting bracket that goes up near the engine. So I ended up taking my old and new tube to a welder who transferred the bracket to the new one for me.
I also put a new check valve on it. Note that this valve lacks the captured nut. That is a catalytic converter check valve and it is physically smaller than the one for the manifold. They thread size is the same, but the nipple is the part that won't allow you to put the other diameter hose on it.
Here it is mounted to the "new" cat. I have to spin that clamp at the Y fitting, it should face the passenger side. Bah shops! So, that concludes today's edition of what invisible repair I managed to waste my time and money on!
With the entire village dedicated to making and exporting musk incense sticks, the streets and sidewalks are valuable resources to be used.
It is a lot of hard work, but at least, it always smells good.

We're renovating a building in the Fells Point section of East Baltimore. I took this shot one day when the workers were off having lunch. Work has been extremely crazy. That and the decision to start printing my own prints for my exhibits have kept me from having the appropriate time for flickr lately. I miss seeing your work and hope all of you are doing well.
Ore transportation at the Lovozero mine. 470 miners work day and night shifts here to extract titanium, niobium and tantalum. The mine (-600m deep, 30km of tunnels)is located in the middle of the tundra in the Murmansk region in Russia.
