This is currently in the easel. I'll walk past it a couple more days before deciding if it's done finally.

Hey Thoromir, nice to see you - how've you been? Yeah, that sounds like a tricky situation, Ygmir. Not using credit could be a choice, or it could be the result of having done it badly or something. I've been, I've been. :-) Credit is a sticky thing. Finally got wise a couple years back when the fi...

*wanders in, makes CCC* Hey, it's Thorormr!! Welcome back! Where ya been, you rascal? Well, Frostburn was last week. . . https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5ucVOITv23o/UwK4o6egpKI/AAAAAAAADJ4/6bHOzDzoJ10/s640/2014-02-16%252013.56.02.jpg Left in a foot of snow and it was 45mph or so most of the way ...

Good Morning!

Looks like this is where folks I remember hang out. Yeah, been absent a while.

My issue is, with my house being old, and there "perhaps" being unpermitted structures on the property, they want tons of upgrades and permits, essentially negating any cost efficiency I might gain. I can't blame them for wanting everything up to the latest standards. I can blame the standards for ...

Your right yggy, no brakes on the trailer. I feel better now though, as I was having some sticker shock at the price of having a receiver hitch installed, I was thinking $200, but the local hitch guy is talking over $500. The weight shouldn't be an issue as the load will be very adjustable. Thanks ...

Mr Toad was my favorite too. I was so disappointed when they wouldn't let you see anything technical, tunnels etc. They used to have certain tours where you got to see the inner workings. I was on their "energy" tour and got to see the tunnels under (I forget the name) the ride that used magnetic p...

Sure is.

I'm on the other end of the state from everything VA.

Morning everyone. Interesting night last night. Took the first lesson this month of a "ladies only" self defense gun class. Interesing people there. I will leave it at that :D Off to work. Have a dusty day.... Good on ya! Your local legal codes make for interesting reading too. I did just that a fe...

could we get back to the absinthe????? (this is a BAR, for Thorssake!) You rang? It's only passably nipply here. I think we've dipped into the low teens, no worries. This morning the little truck had to be wrestled into gear (every one) for about the first twenty miles, and while in the parking lot...

Waiting for a phone call so I know when my buddy is coming over to meet up for some range time. I got my arsenal loaded in ZAST, everything I own needs sighted in again after work I've done, and he has a few historic pieces he wants to work with. Looking forward to driving tacks with my dinner gette...

:D Here is the sort of thing my brother wants for his zoo. The world is (relatively) full of them, but how to find a manufacturer? Of course, I could build one, but it would take a ton of time. Might be cheapest to fab it up on the spot. I'd wager a couple bucks' of PVC and some good quality chrome...

That work?

yeah, we've tied ourselves to time, way too much. "tomorrow morning" should be a fine answer. accurate time is good, as a relative thing for stuff like GPS, and internet things. but, IMO, "natural time" has very few components, that matter. Agreed Ygmir! In fact Right now, by my Reckoning. it is 8:...

I do the same thing at work, and it drives my bosses batty.

Those things look awesome, but the smaller capacity means we'd need more of them (looks like it would cost us roughly double). We saw them at the local sports joint in the runup to the playa this past year. Loved the idea, but we were already past the point of new business. Thicker lined and stacka...

I recently ran across these:

The aqua-tainer is still way cheaper.

Been slamming the OT and worked through the holiday, just enjoyed a particularly lazy night off. I get three more then I'm on for seven nights straight. I wasn't totally unproductive, I did a load of laundry and put it away. I also put my new fire poi through their virgin burn and only singed some h...

I just penciled in all the events I wanted to hit for 2013. It will be a busy year, six regional burns plus Pennsic 42 and whatever flow art retreats I can work in. Once the dates get announced (not all have confirmed dates for next year yet) I'll know better. Burning Man is not on the list, I just ...

Oh thanks, Yggy! Gosh it is really blowing here now. I have never seen anything like this in DC and I have lived here for 33 years. Still with power here, the internet drops out now and then, no biggie. The muck tub I set out is half full, that's a lot of rain. We have half an inch of sleet adding ...

well, lets keep our fingers and toes crossed for all our friends on the east coast!! Considering power outages and such, please let us know you're ok and safe.....or not, so we can help. So far I've only had the lights flicker a little. But then I'm inland a little bit, and it appears I'm on the st...

nice Thor.........for some reason, I'm reminded of Peter Max, or art from "The Yellow Submarine"..........thanks for sharing. No, thank you for appreciating. ^.^ I wanted something larger than I usually work to burn up some old cheapie starter paints. Originally I wanted to just keep adding more ba...

I wonder which it is this time, life imitating reality or reality imitating life. Here is the current state of a painting I'm working on, and the current satellite of the coming storm. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-zqIvjJpjR18/UI3NEHrymMI/AAAAAAAABeQ/0GS1lNwB8eY/s640/2012-10-28%252020.24.44_Win...

I saw this in a catalog I printed last month. It's for sale, but I question the value.

I don't know if bacon will even buy good comrades, but it could compel a clique to smile and gossip behind your back, at least until you ran out of bacon. Always a crowd pleaser though. There is a Pennsic story that comes to mind. A woman was camped along a stretch of road the Tuchux walked from th...

Wild, you guys are talking about a blue that looks darn close to what I was just working with.

Started out bold tonight. The vermillion was on the canvas first, a brilliant curl. I'm just using up some old crappy paint tonight.

*shuffles in* <snip> it's funny the decision making one does when seeing the grass below ( small spot, no danger of it spreading) from up 10' on a ladder, welding stick in hand, on fire, and realizing the smell is not just grass burning, but your pant leg....... I've lost count of the number of tim...
