New tag... Observatory or Telescope... what ever you want to call it.

Awesome! Nice big pics too

I don't think anybody will be gazing through your telescope tonight with the cloud cover there

The university here I'm sure has some sort of observatory. Maybe check it tomorrow.

Had a setback today. Maybe this weekend I can get out sometime.

C'mon folks. Any others live near an observatory?

Busy weekend but a conference I'm attending had a two hour break so here's the observatory.


Next up for the new tag, a student project. Could be flight, building, automotive like this one or any student learning project, college or otherwise.





These engineering students get to tinker with the UNM owned cars. Electrical, mechanical, and chem students participate in this program. Of these three cars out today they're running engines from a CB 600, KTM 450, and a snow mobile. They were excited to share what changing out or modifying different parts did to performance.

The race car and go cart tags were pretty recent, so any student project. This was just too cool to pass up.

What do you guys think about the student project tag? Too obscure??

Is easy for me...the labs are two blocks from my office. May be difficult for others. The have 2 golf carts, a scooter and bikes in our lab.... depends on you. I know I can do it, but don't want to monopolize the thread/game.

To this I'd say.....

Nice! Did you see the column explode? That would be cool.

I've got some ideas for this one.

They crush them in the Engineering II building then bring them over to the "bone yard". Huge CAD hydraulic press. Worked here 2 years...seen a lot.

Here's an inappropriately named apartment complex. Will that do? I ran a couple hundred miles around the state today and this is the best I could come up with. I was going to use the Rio Grande (River Big) which was at the time I passed through last year just a tiny stream making it more like the Rio Pequeno (river little). Much to my surprise it was full and healthy now.

So, here's what I got. It's called The Shores and there's no water in sight! The street names are even misleading people to believe there's some sort of lakefront property here, lol.



If that's accepted, the NEW TAG is with larger than life sports equipment, ie; football, cricket whacker thing, hockey sticks, or a big statue of an athlete with such equipment would work.
This is our pro baseball stadium, AAA minor leage team, The Albuquerque Isotopes. The name cam from a Simpsons cartoon.

close enough.... I knew it would be a tough one. Larger than life sports equipment.... no problem.

i was going to get a pic of one of the giant surfboards outside Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach this weekend... police were not too happy about me walking my bike up onto the store frontage area where the signage it located. I explained what I was doing...only thing that saved me a ticket was my retired Navy ID. "it would be best if you didn't come back today" was the quote. I'm going to have to look elsewhere...figured it was a sure thing since I was going to the Grant Seafood Festival and was beach side all weekend #saltlife. I know where some oversized sports memorabilia is at...may be a week or two as bike week is next week.
