I paint because I want my paintings to end up on someone’s wall one day to be appreciated everyday. and not collecting dust in a big pile of paintings. Like they are now.

Where I am, see my profile 😁, often in community hubs there will be paintings by local artists for sale on a wall. One place I lived the local library had a section for local painters in the foyer area. Check out places like that where you are to see if they have a similar thing. If not, maybe you could suggest something like that to them. They're the type of places here who support local arts and crafts.

Yesterday at Collier tunnel. A very aggressive limited slip....great 4 wheel drive the tundra wasn't bothered.

The Randolph Collier Tunnel (Collier Tunnel) is a two-lane, 1,900-foot vehicular tunnel on US Route 199 (Redwood Highway) in northeast Del Norte County, California. Opened in July 1963, it bypasses the treacherous switchbacks of the old Oregon Mountain road, acting as a crucial, illuminated passage near the California-Oregon border.

Moronic - in my opinion.

Good afternoon! Yep, we got some snow last night. Thin layer in the yard, snow on the hills around the valley, and more snowpack in the mountains! Yay!

I need a set of those JD tread tires. Better than getting stuck going up to the top of the lane. Tried 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th-screw it go back through the yard and up the gravel road that had sand on it.

If you want some I can supply all you desire ArfieBoy. Shipping is on you though-sorry.
But I can load it on my end-free of charge.
Now it's getting really soft, but if you want rock hard igloo making snow that can be arranged also.
Had some sugar snow, but it got mixed with cold squeaky dry snow.

With the profits from that, they could keep minting them for another year or two.

Those bring back serious memories. A lot if cat fishing at night with Coleman lanterns. Hanging them in trees at campsites too. My buddies Husky pup knocked his lantern down an embankment into the lake. New globe & mantels, it was fine.

that hiss whispers of lots of places . And people.

Around 2nd grade in school Dad started me ice fishing at night. I have the lantern we used ...
My first lantern was a hurricane lantern that disappeared shortly after acquisition of some kerosene.
I suspect a parental fear of fire intervention in secret.

Single digits in age probably still ; I spotted a lantern on a beam in the garage. When I inquired about it I was told if I could fix t I could have it.
The pump leather was dry.
I put more Vaseline on the leather cup and in the pump shaft and.. I was rewarded with a bird turd squirt of dirty Vaseline every time I pumped up the lantern ; for years.
Genius me finally cleaned some of the excess out.
That lantern has untold hours on the ice. Day and night. Used to heat the wood box I sit on ; it added many hours more time than it would have lasted without it.

Smelt dipping trips! Indeed. Lit by that old lantern.
Summer nights fishing the river. Inland lakes. Lit by that lantern.
Sucker spearing while wading the creeks at night in a spring ritual
Canada fishing. Lit by that lantern at night one trip.
Florida saw the light as well. And places in between.
Deer camps. tent in the snow multiple trips. Lit by that old lantern.

And people I'll never see again saw it's glow.

My first house was a gain of possession the night I had to be out of the other place. That lantern was light before the power was on.
And the other camping equipment in play in that house quite a while too. And it was alright.
I rigged a welding wire spool with rope on a beam and hung a high bay lights reflector in my pole barn on that former homestead. Yep. That same old lantern up there by the peak shining away lit that barn.

It awaits still. Secure in the wood ice fishing box repaired so many times it's about one original board left.

These are in que ahead of yesterdays pick ups.
The two up front on the left were used a couple nights working on a deer last fall/early winter.
Even when I ran the generator.

Why, just why would you call a town that and anyone name their company that?
Its like when I meet someone and they say "hi, im dick". 🤨
There was a prospector claim owner I knew and when I first heard about him yonks ago I thought he must have been an idiot if you know what I mean. Hey have you met Tarnagulla Dick?
Im, no I have an aversion to idiots I don't think I want to. Turned out he was one but that's not why he was called one.
Strange.

Sometimes reverse will get you up something drive wont because of lower gearing!
If ever stuck don't give up until you try reverse.
Too it can depend on wether you have front wheel drive or rear. Swapping the drive by reversing can change things.

At first I thought yeah sure. But several sources are saying this is real. If so the Chinese are going ahead in leaps and bounds with robotics.
Is it real? Was a news story on one of our major news networks about a super car pile up but it wasn't reported anywhere else so its given AI fake.
