A Horse With No Name

From where my son is hiking Saturday, snow will be gone but... https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/washington/granite-creek-trail--2?ref=header

This air traffic controller is an asshole, should be fired. No way to act when people's lives are on the line.

It was a segment leader in 1972....

I have always been interested with this ship...a good watch.

It's still an amazing car. But one could rationalize a lot of other purhcase decisions. Norway: 57 Roadmaster.

Astonishingly creative and beautiful, Jacques Veserey made this in one of my online woodworking groops. Cool... The bottom...

On the contrary, resale and the available V6 could sell me on the Camry, Altima is an easy target for people who don't like mainstream cars but it is vastly improoved, Mazda 6 has sublime handling, the Sonata is attractive and (non car geek people) people seem to just love Hyundai products. The Subaru was a really good AWD system. The Accord is not nearly as sporty, even in Sport trim as a Jetta GLI. The Turbo 1.5 I don't think is going to be especially reliable long term, and again, talking with body shop people and my claims adjsuter daughter, the tubo 4 is easily damaged in accidents, frequently resulting in a total loss. For the price of a new Accord, one can buy a nearly new or CPO luxury sedan. Just playing contrarian. Also, nothing in that segment is especially inspired. Jetta GLI is as close as anything gets to inspring. So inspring in fact that after considering the GLI hard, I bought a truck instead. If only the rest of the product lineup was anywhere close to as inspired as the GTR Couple of sexy well dressed men for those so inclined.

57 Ford on the right really just has the look, bravo on the picture. One good 50's Ford deserves another one.

Truck is getting a workout. The smaller log I got out by putting black iron pipes under it and rolling it out....the larger log I am going to have to cut down paritally in the bed. I may need to get an hoist if I keep working with large logs. I could also see building some sort of shop made gantry crane...

Time machine please... s for real...

Yeah, I don't want a lot of land to take care of, but I am out of space for machines.

I live in a cookie cutter Neo-colonial two story here in Columbus. My neighbors are great. Really should move to where I can build an outbuilding for all of my tools. But I will never get neighbors this good again. Camry would be my choice for a sedan in that segment. They also still offer a V6, or did so until recently. I still have all ten fingers.

They really make me nostalgic for the time I was a kid. A lot of the homes of this era were really well built.

But the garden ios to die for....

When you really, really want to protect yourself but the budget calls for the cheapest possible vendor....

See, this actually makes me like your home that much more. House is pretty standard run of the mill post WW 2 housing, but the garden is a fantastic and beautiful focal point. I like it when one strong visual focual point exists to draw your attention. The garden is gorgeous....flat out gorgeous.

Damn, that is sweet. Wroking with your hands is so healing and theraputic.

Going hiking or riding this weekend, staying active... Yes, I am a freak for anything made well out of wood.

I find myself wanting to eat more healthy as I gt older. Lots of veggies, chicken, try to stay under a pound of read meat for the week.
