Someone had ordered a puzzle for Christmas. The last batch of salt I bought for cleaning wasnât very good; not very consistent in sizing, so all of the pieces werenât falling out of the cleaning container. No big deal, Iâd pick the few of them out by hand.
Well, this lady received one of my Padre Island National Seashore puzzles. And a few pieces of the salt just didnât get cleaned out. She put a picture up on social media, with the special whimsical pieces and a couple of salt chunks, and was in awe about how cool it was that the pieces of salt were included in the beach puzzle.
Blog, movie, coffee table bookâŚyou name it. Youâre photographs are so wonderfully evocative. Thanks you for sharing them with us. It really is almost like being there.
As I go through todayâs stuff, I really feel like just sharing all of the car images⌠I feel like one of those old car guys - âya know⌠when they were built RIGHT. Not all these electronics, and electrics, and batteries. Good olâ Detroit steel.â
I really wish someone could make the 1924-65 fast back Volvo (the one that looked like a 1940 ford) I think the engine had like 500 parts and except for a few safety features like bigger rear window or tail lights 1200 up to 1600cc engine etc they made that design longer than VW made bugs and they were far more durable. got up to 50mpg on the highway, and passed smog tests by efficiency rather than gadgets. I would bet that you could build and sell them now for a quarter the price of most cars today.
OK, this picture reminded me of my time in Spain (89/90), and made me think of my FAVORITE picture I have ever taken. I just have a scan of the print digitized, but I really need to go back through my negatives and try to get a high quality re-scan of it.
I literally happened onto it while visiting Granada, one of my last stops before returning home after my year abroad. What struck me was the juxtaposition of the old building in the reflection of the very modern office building with reflective glass / mirrored panels.
Sadly, I donât know if I took pictures of the old building on itâs own. Back in the day, I took 62 rolls of Kodak Ektar film with me, and I was close to the end of those rolls by the time I was visiting Granada.
1600+ photos developed, and boy was I glad I got a deal on the processing costs. Iâll have too look at the old albums to see what I have.
I do have another, more recent, photo which is probably my second favorite ever, and I have it in high resolution digital (22 MP) from a Nikon D7100. Itâs from Feb '18, of a caged squirrel which had decided to take up residence in our attic, and the red-tailed hawk that thought that the trap was itâs lunch box.
Yeah, I clean it up and repack it every time I move (goes back into the box). Figure thatâs a good time to clean. All in all, the whole process (entire âworkshopâ) is about 30-45 mins to clean and secure everything - so not too bad.
Now that youâve mentioned all thatâŚdo you lift that all by yourself into the boxâŚor do you have some kind of medieval pulley system rigged up? AlsoâŚhow do you vent it in the RV?
Yeah, up out of the box and onto the bunk platform. Then back down in the box. I vent straight out the back window. People see the hose and think I have a clothes dryer ha (Iâve been asked several times).
