A classic from home

I remember growing up watching my dad and uncle drinking cold primos.
I think my dad even had a primo t-shirt he used to wear...
So good, but the best t-shirt was the one with the shark named Ernest.
This cold one's for you dad!

Excursions in Lego

004 is up







kind of ambivalent about how these rails will work.
wasn't paying close enough attention to what i was doing and ended up with hull type rails for the upper half of the board before an edge takes hold. should be an interesting session.
channel too shallow to be of any consequence. need to double the depth next time.
thanks again to javier for the great glassing.

I seem to be a verb

"I live on Earth at present, and I don't know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process — an integral function of the universe".

6'1" single wing/channel bump squash








6'1"x20"x2 1/4"

single wing to single channel
first try at the channel so it's pretty minimal.
i like how bottom contour can wrap up to relate to rail designs.

004 progress


6'1"x20"x2.25" single wing bump squash.
this one's going to be another quad with a single barrel channel when all is said and done.

The yellow Hollywood signs

one of the ephemeral yellow secret film location signs.
i was told that film crews around the city create these code words for their set locations.
everyone else just sees these yellow signs with random words directing someone someplace.

California dreaming on such a winter's day

home.


sometimes images can come so saturated with memory.
so evocative of a particular place, time, a specific moment.
i can remember the dampness of the shady grass between my toes;
the dry wind on my arms.
the roughness of the dried sea salt rubbing between my shirt and back.

MGM Grand garage


This is 'one' of the parking garages at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas from the hotel.
I liked the empty roofscape of the parking structure against the dry wasteland of Vegas infrastructure and desert beyond.
