Picture Task
 

We've had the essay threads, but I thought a thread for designated tasks might be cool.

Must be a pic you have taken.

Belt Fed Power
 

I've been finding those spring steel clips, and spent shells, inside helicopter doors we're rebuilding.

What were you doing with all that money, Razz?

Well you see...my dad has this change jar, right...

And a while back I was kinda bored...

So I went to the bank and got me a whooooollllee bunch of coin wrappers....

and I wrapped allllllll that change and took it into the bank...

over $1,500

I got 10% for counting it...and used some on groceries that week so what you see there is only $1400.

A little girl walks in to a bank with a big jar of nickels.

The teller says, "Wow, little girl, did you hoard all of those nickels yourself?"

And the girl says, "No, my sister whored half of them."

Small block V8.

Hubba hubba!

So Ferrari just puts a pane of glass between the driver and engine? Is that enough of a fire wall? WTF? And how loud is that in your ear?

Someone pick a new one for the weekend???

That ain't noise, that's music. The Honda sports car uses double glass, with a vacuum in between, to cut down noise transmission.

It appears so. Firewall adequate? I guess so. Glass burns about as well as metal. I don't know how loud it is, but I'll try to find out. If I do, I'll tell you. :driving:

Are the window defroster lines really necessary? I mean, a freaking engine is 6 inches below the glass!! I doubt one takes the Ferrari to save the 'good' car when the weather turns bad. :lol: But, if that is the case, my number is:

Jubilee (def: any season or occasion of rejoicing or festivity)

I'm having a hard time with the Ferarri. I know, it's not supposed to be practical.

But have you ever looked at the underside of a car's hood? (Bonnet for you crazy ferriners.) They are filthy. Is the owner of this thing supposed to get the Windex out after every drive in order to clean the underside of that rear window?

Or don't Ferrari drivers need rear visibility? How are they gonna see the flashing blue lights with the oil schmutz all over the underside of that window?

Not always filthy, depends on the owner. Same with the guys on the SSR forum, you could eat off of most of the engine compartments. :rolleyes:

Perhaps if you can afford the car, you can afford a servant to scrub it with a toothbrush after every drive.

Here's me having a grand 'ole jubilee at Coyote Ugly NYNY:

Ive got the power! :D

More power:

Where is that V?

I've never been in the plant, but it made me think of Snoqualmie Falls. We used to take out-of-town relatives there. Quite a beautiful spot. Plus it is so cool how the power plant doesn't intrude on the beauty of the falls.

You're good.

The view from the top, very low water....

More of the powerhouse, the turbine (maybe not called that.... too lazy to verify). Link to pic with High water.

Did you visit the train museum down the road? I suspect SonOfV would like it.

We did not, but I reckon there would be many photo ops for Power Pictures there as well.

The power station was awesome. I swear you could feel the power in the air--no hyperbole. Massive ponderous inexorably powerful machines, humming, vibrating... It was really cool. I have another shot of them standing in the exhaust of the fans... they look like they're taking off. It was really cool.

I'd like to post something for Jubilee, but I don't have anything to hand. So...for now I'll post a couple for 'Power'

1. King of all he surveys....

Jubilee is the name game now! From about post #22 :lol2:

2. A tumbledown cottage reclaimed by nature. The power of the root.

True....but I haven't got one for that :P And I found the Power one intriguing.

Ok.

Missed that.

Jubilee...

I'll check..

Jubilant!

Celebrating Summer , being Young , beer , a good river to float down etc,,,,,,,,
