Several years ago I made a piece of Dollar Art that consisted of a gumball machine filled with plastic egg-shaped containers normally filled with little toys for children. I filled them with quarters.
The photo shows it half-empty during the transition.
It always bothered me that the eggs had a large void in the bottom where quarters would not fit.
So, I removed all those hundreds of quarters and managed to fill my new quarter holder with quarters left over.
And I was so happy that I had included side holes to settle the coins horizontally because they were constantly getting stuck vertically.
It is very heavy. And with all the holes filled, I had no place to store the little rod that is used to push the coins up through the bottom.
I added a little holder for the rod at the end of the piece.
All of the eggs were refilled and the piece was retitled Some Assembly Required.
Use your imagination as to what I put in those eggs.

A REMINDER
You may wonder why I spend so much time explaining my work to you. The reason is that I will be dead soon and my grandson is very young - too young to remember such minutiae. One day he will hold SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED in his hands in his home and the explanations are for him when he explains it to his children.

I have managed to avoid old age grumpiness. Whenever I'm asked how I am I always say "I've never been better a day in my life" with a big smile on my face. And I mean it. Life is no longer about ease. Life is about life. And I'm squeezing every drop out of it.
That is more or less my mantra.
Several days ago I needed a picture of a Sousaphone to use in a post. Now I'm bombarded with this.
I guess it's time to do a few Google searches for women's thong underwear so my ads will be more...pleasant.
Can you imagine spending an afternoon on a bass boat with that guy?
I feel the exact same way about Jesus as you feel about, say, Zeus.
What would you tell someone who was trying to convince you to believe in Zeus as the God of Gods? Think about that for a minute.
Well, I am as uncomfortable hearing about your God as you would be hearing about the great and powerful Zeus.

When I am no longer capable of working with power tools I think I will buy a really good camera with a really long lens and renew my photography efforts.
That was an item included with other images of people being caught fucking up. I see absolutely nothing wrong with what he did.
Interesting fact: you are allowed to use any part of your body to play the ball in volleyball. Whether that's an arm, leg, foot, or head, so long as you only contact the ball once it's fair game.

That happens more often than I would have ever guessed.

Why wouldn't they just pull the truck closer to the water?
"I know a guy who can move it for cheaper."
It's like it was radar-guided.
