Follow up!!

The aluminum edging in a previous post is now in place. I used the edging to make a cover for two displays in the Biology museum.





These guys were watching me very closely. I had the feeling they were pissed off at something.

Hand stand





I was asked to make a stand to hold a very large crystal for the annual rock sale. As I was holding the crystal, I said my hand would be perfect if it were larger. LODI! Eureka has too much credit for inspiration, So I made this hand after mine but scaled it up by 1 and 1/2.

New projects







Project one is to make another one of these.(top three photos). It is a platform for a doppler sounder submerged in the bay. The instrument is to detect sediment from dredging.

Project two is to build a couple of animal skeletons displays for the museum. The excreted Aluminum runners just arrived. This will be interesting.(bottom two photos)

Stakes





The Biology Department every year asks us to make up some stakes for the Arboretum on campus.
These stakes hold signs giving the proper name of the tree or plant. Usually they ask for 100 or so, but this time it was for 400.
So I had to cut bend and drill 400. I know them personally, and will miss each and every one as they go out and do their job.
I think most of previous ones are getting sold to the same company I purchase these from, cause they look the same, just my opinion.

This is how I feel



I worked my way to the controls
I set the throttle as far forward as I could
I turned the nose of my chariot to the wispy sky
And never turned back

Cobra Sunday






























My boss used to be a crew chief for a race team in a previous life. Evidently, once people know you can repair things and do it quickly you always get called. This Sunday he asked his friend Ron and I if we would like to go see some race cars. I said sure as my testosterone climbed!
These are some of the cars.
