Great stuff!

Raw materials. That's about 2 tons of RR ties. The longest ones are 13 ft.


First course laid in. Get that right and the rest goes smoothly. These RR ties get pinned to the ground with 24" rebar.


3rd course. RR ties are 7" x 9". I drill thru three courses and then hammer in 24" rebar to join them. Used motor oil makes a good lubricant.

Was cleaning up the workbench and realized I had some parts for a little speaker cable that I had forgotten about. Whipped up a quick ~6” speaker cable to connect my mini head up to my 1x8 cab I made back in high school. First time using techflex on a cable and it came out pretty well— given the way these Neutrik plug work, it’s incredibly difficult to get the slack out of the techflex, so there are some minor herniations, but it is just a speaker cable after all— doesn’t need to be gorgeous

I thought everyone used KY jelly!

Blind holes for the top course.


Assembly complete, back-filling in progress.


If you can see the bubble, it's close enough.


Break time.

Is that a "bridge" pickup or a "neck" pickup?

The Glendhu Bay campground fire truck. One of my favourite campgrounds.
I first thought it was part of the children's playground equipment as it was parked right beside it, as you can see in background.

But no, this is New Zealand, of course.
This is the little truck that could, maybe, or should, or we make do with it, if the bbq gets out of hand and there's a raging fire.
I feel so much safer.

If nothing it will be at least a good laugh and fun fun fun to see it in action while the ladies toilet block burns down.

We had similar firetrucks and ambulances on the little island I lived on in HK. No regular cars allowed, just those and VVs (village vehicles, little open cab trucks.

Aren't they always?

I once drank pabst on stage while performing Die Fledermaus. The orchestra was bigger than the pit in our hall so they set us up in a stage nook off to the right along with the timpanist hidden behind a black screen. Pop the top in time with the percussionists and you were good to go. Had to entertain ourselves somehow with that much waltz going on. I've always wondered if anyone in the audience heard it or worse... smelled the burps.

Though a wee late for the planning stage, this very well may provide the chance for me to get that college experience I always wanted.

Some kind of hornets nest I snapped while I was in Cancun. If you can't tell I zoomed in.. wasn't going near that thing. I didn't want to get impregnated by an Xenomorph.

I don't know who is the more sick person: the one who drew it or the one who wears it.
