Early spring

At the sign of the rusty spot.

A lot of my projects aren't really worth reporting on: "oh, I welded a bracket onto a piece of pipe for a guy... oh, I fixed so-and-so's spatula". Seeing as this is a bloggity blog, I suppose I should blather on at length about my personal life and all manner of other things that my sponsors indicate will improve my SEO.
Springtime is welcome. Right now it's a bit stormy; kinda nice. Fresh air from off the ocean. My neighbor's windchimes are going crazy. They always sound a bit melancholy to me, as if they are ringing after the passing of a tornado, and all the humans are dead. That notion is the product of having seen "Twister" at an impressionable age, I think.

I finally got out on the best section of the Marys this Winter, when the river was at about 10' at the Bellfountain Gauge.

It's so pretty up there. Even in the Winter, which is really the most reasonable time to paddle it.

Fair warning, there are some dangerous strainers around blind corners that absolutely require portaging. Be prepared to back-paddle and ferry to the side (all my portages are on the right, as it happens, but you may decide otherwise).

"Ship's ladder" railings for a loft.

Second organ bike canopy model. It is overall quite a bit smaller than the hyperboloid wing shaped canopy previously modeled.

Bike frame 16, rear triangle. Getting better all the time.
