The wife and I were in France last week, we took the wrong staircase in the Louvre and ended up face-to-face with this guy.

And I thought you found yourself on the set of "Night at the Museum"

That's exactly what it was. I must say, they lit it very well.

Native Ladies Slippers. I have a patch of these growing in my woods behind the house. Interesting flower, usually blooms around Mothers Day.

Off work this evening so here are a few cool things from the place I rent in.

Cool old wall mounted coffee grinder:


Old Kodak thermometer:


Got some horns:


A Victrola:


A old school phone which I slammed my head into last evening when I stood up. Big time OUCH:


Old Frigidaire chili maker made by General Motors:


Beautiful tile work in my bathroom:


2nd Bathroom tiles:




Someone made this Spark Plug Man. He takes no prisoners:






I seem to have lost the picture of the old pedal sewing machine.

Here's a ARAK upper from work:


And there you are!

Snapped a picture of my turntable during a listening session...

It's mechanical art kingfish.

A.V.C. - Arizona “Varmint” Carbine Project

So is that for 2 or 4 legged varmints?

I thought I was the only one in the free world that had 13 different
colored towels, life is great when you have choices.

My Uncle Paul had 9 wall crank phones in his collection
then he had another half dozen that he were 50% parted out.
I always wonder what they brought at his auction, upon his passing

"Plated". "Plaited" is the same as "braided".

"i" jumped in there, damn auto correct!

Went hiking in Occonneeche Mountain State Park to catch the native Kalmia in bloom, and saw these guys on a tree trunk.

Assassin bug nymphs.

I didn't take the photo, but the evening shift Sgt did. Pilot in his 60s, no apparent medical or mechanical problems, had this mishap a couple of days ago. He said the engines had recently been rebuilt. He was the sole occupant, I believe they said he slid about 700 feet.

Springtime in London

We seemed to have had a Turkey adopt us. She basically comes to visit a few times a day but yesterday really got comfortable!! My dogs don't even bother with her!

Another yard photo, this one about 15 minutes ago. About a 4 ft Gopher Snake, nice to see these around the area.
