Another angle on the Helicopter Another view.

cfz's suggestion: Good idea. I need to get more Compacts -- On this piece, I added a spine (bracket) from a vintaga hair dryer. For your suggestion, no added spine. I would leave the original dust bag cover, but cut a hole in it for a smaller viewing bubble. These aluminum vacs cut like butter...

Needs pilot and detailing.

Look what walked in today.

Yo, Brandon I have the machine you described "in inventory" awaiting instruction from my muse. The machine above was in pretty bad shape and was branded a Compact Electra. I had it sandblasted removing a dirty yellow to make it look more DeLoreanesque.

Hi guys! Just finished with a touch of steampunk. Have included a link to images of most of my 'appliances' as well as my Barbie collection (smile). http://www.goodfirm.com/art.html

Breadmaker ...and here is a piece made from yet another thrift store find.

Here is an image of a recycled stainless Thermos. The canopy is made from an organic milk container.

Hydrostatic Pressure Larry has a good point about the pool 'floating' on hydrostatic pressure. As a rookie 30 years ago one of my first major pieces of litigation involved a newly constructed hotel pool that rose before it was filled messing up plumbing, tile, etc. This can also happen with...

Breeders? Er, uh, I've 'been fixed' for 30 years - I'm cool, right?

Waitresses who.. ...never learned the menu and lean in over my shoulder to see what item I just ordered on my menu. Yuck! Get out of my space.

Olaf, ...thank you for this link. I lived as a closet infidel for a very long time. 'Tis wierd to be living in a place where anyone who is not a 'Christian' cannot be elected president. But, when I read a decision like that of the Iowa Supreme Court in the same sex marriage case, I have hope...

A man of the cloth whom I respect a lot sent me, among some more serious thoughts, the following note: Note: I am indebted to Butch Hancock, a musician with a group called "The Flatlanders," for this bit of wisdom from West Texas: "Life in Lubbock, Texas taught me two things: One is that God...

...follow the money Exactly, Jeff... This Progressive Christianity thing seems 'on the track' vis-a-vis "inclusion" but, what do they do? They start organizing - calling it a religion, recruiting, picking up dues and contribuions and selling stuff.

The Book of Gensis, Illustrated by R. Crumb Keven, This is a slight side path from the thread, but.... I am reading The Book of Genesis, Illustrated by R. Crumb. This is a recent work by Crumb. When my daughter was in college, she invited me to join her in viewing a documentary of his life...

PC Here's what I am getting at. Since my first exposure to it in the 70's, my wife's church (an ELCA Lutheran Church)indicated to me (and proposed new memberrs) they believed that Christ was their savior and use a creed of belief pronouncements. In effect, like many religions, it claimed that...

UCC It was unclear from a brief look at the site - but, do UCC members believe in Christ's deity?
