    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

Thanks Rich for doing the summation.:cool: I totally forgot.:(

Voting for Dorkburger because I've been there....
 
I like the way the parts are arrayed in Glens pics. Looks like what might in an assembly drawing, yet is somewhat artistic.

A lot of the pics make me say "looks like a lot of dissasembly has occured" since see the empty frame or such. Or some pics say something about a specific project, like mine: the steering bearings.

But somehow, Bob baatfam At first it seemed like a random jumble of things, but then I start to recognoze individual parts. pic had me saying "Oh, man, a lot of be reassembled there. Lots of different things that need to be part of a reassembly project."

Vote for Bob baatfam.

Note: I first look at the pics without thinking of the theme/topic, and I think of how I would describe the pic, and think of what was the photographer trying to show. ANd if my description is pretty much the stated theme/topic, that pic gets extra points.
I do have to say, that if do think of the theme/topic first, when look at Grimley pic of frontwheel only on the lift.... huh? Oh!! Haa Haa!! Yah, a lot of assembly required. Honorable mention for Grimley.

Voting for Roger Burque73. The lines in this pic, the light, the composition. It all makes his a very interesting pic of a somewhat dull subject.
 
All good and require assembly. Voting Carter Turk for including tools required for job. Reminds me of younger yrs. when I had few tools, mainly hammer, screwdrivers, vice grips, crescent wrench, along with tools from bike's tool kit...Made doo with what I had.
 
Voting for Dorkburger, for the sheer amount of pingfeckit content.

I'm guessing pingfeckit did occur during proces. I did have a couple of springs launch during the process and the tiny steel ball rolled off of the table at least once. That's when I decided to work on a towel.
 
Good morning all,
I guess the usual tabulators are busy this morning.

The count.
Dorkburger- 3
BaatfamBaatfam-273- 2
Carter Turk- 1
KiwiAlpha156- 1
Grimly- 1.

Feel free to check my math. In the meantime I'll get something up to keep things moving.
 
Next. A historic or any building of significance... or infamy.

Bell Labs building if anyone is interested. The sheer scale of the space from the inside common area is quite impressive.

In a rare occurrence this is a current pic. Last night around midnight.


Bell works by Glen Brenner, on Flickr

I wonder if the designer was a NASCAR fan?
Those inner and outer perimeter tracks would be so hard to resist...
 
No idea, but yes, it'd be fun speeding around there.
Unfortunately its fairly busy by day and the grounds are loaded with Deer by night.
 
Very nice picture to start the theme, dorkburger

I missed an opportunity to go to an open house at Spaceport America today. That would have been my entry.

I'll find something, it'll have to be an evening ride this week.
