Yea, he shot humans with a ray gun. Dang illegal aliens. A smuggler eh, got to put the finger on you Jean. However, they do put you on their pretty rocks. This is a pic I took of him when my friends took him to the desert one weekend: 
I like how he modestly screened his "junk" behind this bush, lol. Suppose creosote can pass for a fig leaf, hey?
Was thinking that was dendritic alien junk. Do all aliens have junk or just the odd numbered ones?? hmm Jim is onto to you dispersing alien eggs. Time to change your appearance again.

You thinking that Jean made the "address rock" as a beacon to where the aliens can contact the mother ship? Pretty suspicious....hmm.. Bettin that ts an antennae
Jean IS the RTH resident alien in a human outfit. Known this for years Cliff. She has sent many a alien egg out for tumbling.(She says they are just wind polished agates, don't believe it) Many of her rock collecting trips have satellite dishes in the background. Your computer will make a high pitch buzzing sound when opening her posts. She can see thru your computer screen. Makes snakes dance. Always been to afraid to open her posts.. I know she can make water run up hill and can push a chain. I just thought she was wikkin.. I guess you don't know till you know.. I put tape over my puter and have built a faraday cage.

Proceed with great caution coloradocliff. May find yourself partially vaporized traveling at warp 5. Carrying the green man(whispering) out in the desert with her friends....,well, you know. Type real small(in teeny tiny font) Maybe we should communicate in Japanese symbols, spose them aliens can understand Japanese ? |

Navajo code talking might fool her unless she ate one of them and learned their knowledge. grin.. Or we could just use the Y chromosome method.. Grunt and point at a beer..

The sound of grinding stones seems to humanize the situation.

The vertical members(posts) are 5 feet long. Steel comes in 20 foot lengths making 5 feet a waste saving target size. However the ceiling is a bit low, so I modified two top cubicles to take two taller fire pits. For versatility at loading. Due to the heavy material used another post can be removed under the new bridge(if necessary). A liitle sweat labor to save on material costs. Note pre-torched cuts on top of the galvanized square tubing:    Sections removed, cubicles taller, alignment/squareness maintained. Functionality improved, slight loss in visual appeal. Will put removable bands in rear to trap load in back cubicles. Trailer needs to be loaded from rear with kayaks when used for rec purposes.  "The Animal" mystified by Daddy being up on top of this apparatus. She is 1 year old.  Pallet loader and trailer. Looking at an electric Walkie Stacker as mentioned earlier. Looks like dog being stung by bee lol.  |

jamesp My guess is if you had this trailer to do over you would have built it complete, tried it, then taken off what you had to, tires etc., then had it dipped. I have found hindsight to be very good....................................MrP

I have found hindsight to be very good....................................MrP No doubt Michael. Probably would have welded it up with long sticks and still gone back and did the revisions. Easy to weld the long stuff to keep everything square. I had to weld and shim the whole thing on a warped farm trailer to get it square/flat. Have no flat slab close to the welder to build such a big assembly. A problem at start. i have another barn that can handle 40' structures but it's too far from coffee and gets hot in warm season. Slab dead flat in that one. with a 5 ton hand hoist. Did a few hours here and a few hours there, so stayed close to house. The more it gets used the more mods will happen. It will be a year before it is in final form most likely. I bit the bullet and dipped it. Had another restriction, the dip tank is only 5'2" deep. So I was wrestling with a lot of issues. He would have to flip it and re-dip it with that last modification over 5' tall. Add 50% to dipping cost. Still kicking myself for putting a pre-stress in it going the wrong way. I built it upside down. Got confused, concave down instead of concave up. Just trying to be a hot dog and got bit. It is way more rigid than need be. No need for pre-stress. #1 reason for dipping it at finish is to avoid welding modifications to triple dipped zinc. Splatter city, either when stick welding or torching. Skin still healing from splatter lol. Detest welding triple dip, electroplate is easy. |

Not for James. He makes it look a lot easier than it is.. He probably does his best work under or on top of stuff where no one dares to follow.
That's why he makes the big bucks and finds the best coral.

Fierce Love! The young one letting the older one know she is the 'A' dog in spite of the competitive jousting. A dog acknowledging. |

Easy to pick the winning solution if you make the effort. Got the scars to show for it too. Guess trying to cross wildcats with bears wasn't the best of ideas . grin And of course we all know that the best payment isn't always in money.

always enjoyed building prototype tools/devices. Always trashed them with no concern if need be. Whatever it takes to get to a ergonomic end. First build is sacrificial lamb if need be. especially a device that gets used regularly. Tumblings not cheap nor easy to make. Tumbles not worth much monetarily. But loads of satisfaction and admiration. Hate to have to make a living selling tumbles... |
