David's "Repair"

V & L Motors General Repair, also in need of repair. This is an old repair shop off the main strip through Bernalillo, NM.

Cory's Repair

Since winter tends to come kind of early up here in the mountains, Lis decided to built a little greenhouse to go over here tomatoes this year in an attempt to stretch the season a little longer. Alas, we had a big wind storm one day last week, and the next morning the greenhouse was gone. I found it on the other side of the house later in the day. Clearly, it is going to need some repair before it is used again.

Next week: "Knob"

"Repair" is due tomorrow.

Cory's Hand

HAND AM TASTY NOM NOM NOM.

(Not actually Cory's hand)

Ryan's "Hand"

Kelcey, and her hand, in the act of the vandalism Cory mentioned:

"Hand" due earlier today!

Mike's "Hand"

Taking advantage of a beautiful day, here in Omaha, I went downtown.  I photographed the sculptures that the Lauritzen family put up.  They have big hands, and they have "cow hands" and... well then...  I ran across these hands at the Zorinsky Mall, and knew I found my topic picture!

Though I keep promising myself to not take pictures that exploit the homeless, I squeezed one into the corner.  Today he is one of the 99%.

David's "Hand"

"I've got funny hands."

This seemed like a non-obvious take on this week's theme.

Ryan's "Sock"

Sorry for last week's lack of posting. I was mourning the loss of my camera.

This is what socks do to my ankles:



Perhaps next week I will do better. I've decided that my camera is not broken... it just lacks duct tape. Hopefully that will get me through the upcoming trip to New Mexico.

Cory's Sock

Los Alamos has its own little tiny airport, complete with one runway and a little shack that serves as the terminal. I hear it is very exciting to fly out of - it is built right on the edge of a mesa, so if you were to just drive off the end of the runway you would already be several hundred feet in the air. Here's the sock they use there to keep the wind's foot warm. It looks like he wasn't using it when I took this picture.

Mike's "Sock"

This is our "sock transporter".  If you put an even number of socks and run it on low heat for sixty minutes,  one of your socks will be transported to a parallel universe and a new one will appear.
Sometimes, by pure chance, you might get one of your own socks back.

"Sock" is due tomorrow

Next week: "Hand".

Mike's "Stable"

I love taking pictures of horses. It literally rained all weekend until the hour before I went to set up for the open mic. I should have taken a picture of my stable of players there!
So I found a stable of horses inside the house. I need to start getting my pictures done before the weekend.

Cory's Stable

The next mesa over from me houses Los Alamos's stables, where horses, donkeys, and a few goats live. Maddy likes taking drives through them to see the horses, and the horses are probably perfectly happy to see her too. She let me come along for the trip this time so I could take a picture of a horse and its stable.

Next week: "Sock"

"Stable" is due tomorrow.

Oops...

Sorry - I just got around to putting up the poll.

On another note, it may just be Mike and Cory for a while. My camera caught a bad case of gravity poisoning, and will need to take a trip to the Nikon spa to recuperate.

Cory's Shutter

It turns out it is hard to take a picture of your camera's shutter. And thus, I present you with my house's shutter. If it weren't screwed to the house, this one might act in a similar way as the camera one, just a lot slower.

Ryan's "Shutter"

Putting on glasses while juggling a torch is a bit of a pain. Glasses with darker flip-down shutters prove useful.



A friend used this torch to blow the inner bearing races off my car's hub today. It's a good size torch for cutting railroad track - a bit overkill for Volkswagen parts.

I will do my best Andy Rooney here.  Why do they call them "door openers"?  I'll bet the last time any of these were used were to shut a door.  They should be called "door shutters".
I know for a fact that when I replaced this Genie with a Chamberland, the door was indeed shut.  Now I know why my wife calls them clickers.

Next week: "Stable"

"Shutter" is due tomorrow.
