One Of My Very Own

PART ONE

He's dry brushing - no paint on the brush. I've done it a thousand times for TV or newspaper cameras on a finished mural.

^^A3^^

Kind of looks like one of mine.

^^A4^^

Trains

I've often said that paying to haul a two-ton 6-passenger vehicle everywhere you go is just kind of stupid.

^^A5^^

^^A6^^

^^A7^^

If I've learned anything from the internet it is to be very, very careful with fire.

^^A8^^

Mating Ritual

We have those...

^^A9^^

The best BBQ restaurant in my city sells Tex-Mex dishes made with pulled smoked pork. It is one of the most delicious things I've ever put in my mouth.

PART THREE


^^C1^^

In my opinion, funerals are an excellent example of doing something stupid just because we've always done it that way.

^^C2^^

^^C3^^

Chip Maker

I used to help my friend Rupert make fries like that. His machine wasn't too large but worked the same way. You have to be very careful about how much pressure you put on the handle. Too light and the chips are too thin. Too heavy and the chips are too thick. We found that the perfect pressure was the weight of your hand and arm - no more, no less.

^^C4^^

Cigar Roller

^^C5^^

Drill Climber

I knew a fellow muralist who hooked up an automobile starter to his crank lifter and just ran the DC wires down from the roof.

^^C6^^

Food Prep

I watched dozens of street food prep videos and they all involved some sort of wrap. I guess because they are so portable.

^^C7^^

Pile Driver

I watched a crew drive piles for a pier on Lake Murray with a high-pressure hose. Once the pile is in the vertical position the hose is sent down ahead to literally blow out a hole.

^^C8^^

Earth Mover

Why do you suppose they are doing that?

^^C9^^

Who The Hell Knows

^^C10^^

A viewer sent me this along with two others that for some reason wouldn't upload.

^^C11^^

These maps seem to be comparing all rail lines including local in Europe vs just Amtrak and omitting any local rail systems in the US. Also this map seems to think Mexico has ONE rail line???
