It even has the thing that goes up! :p
Send a pix to AOC and tell her it shoot gear-shaped bullets that will hurt more.
Might just send her over the edge!!!😁
thats a imaginative art creation who ever did it I applaud there work I do like it .
put me in for the give away 😁
looks like a lamp made from similar parts in the back ground with a timing chain tossed in
JMHO looks like moms dinner ware was used and parking pawl rod a clutch pack one way clutch roller + a main / counter shaft from a automatic transmission as the main parts .
I can add when younger I could have supplied a lot of parts to such builds 😣
( but I did learn to rebuild/ overhaul transmissions 😐️
Yep we were down having a beer (cough) at the local brewpub and there it was with a few other objets d'art tastefully arranged in front of some vats full of delicious IPA. And it was warm enough to sit outside with our drinks!
Guns, IPA, sunshine and good friends ... I call that a winner.
to the artist congrats.
sounds like a good afternoon you shared your right does not get much better
I can see being snowed in and cold having a indoor hobby to spent time on would come in handy 😉
when I was a younger fellow (40 + years ago ) I was cutting a few downed trees for firewood on a old guys property
he told me " if i was your age I would go to Alaska" if you love the out doors hunting fishing and wide open spaces, he had spend man years there and loved it but said he was just too old ( i would guess he was late 60's early 70's) to move back and enjoy . some times I think I should have taken his advise or at least visited .
D-R it’s never too late to visit! Make a summer of it. This place gets under your skin and pretty soon the weird seems normal. Like, the bears will be popping out soon so I have to start opening doors a crack and look before just throwing them open. They’ll be up on the deck within the next 2 weeks so I put away my favorite deck chair so they don’t break it. I came home yesterday afternoon and as I came up the mountain I rounded a bend and hit the brakes, the wolf pack was crossing this road. And it was no big deal, they’ve been hanging around all winter. Right across the valley is McHugh Peak and people climb it to ski back down. I watched a guy come down with 2 dogs chasing him having the time of their lives until an avalanche broke loose and took one of his dogs. He never even noticed, the avalanche got halfway down and spit his dog out the side, and he ran right down to the boss. Boss was oblivious. This is one weird place but the rewards are more than worth the risk.
were getting off the post topic
but as much as I would like to visit I do not see happening
I will toss this in the mix when flebay first started up I would have brief email conversations with people around the world while selling items , and of course here in the USA growing up in a very small town I had a interest in all the other places too many stories to share but many interesting ones
one fellow lived in Alaska , sadly I did not keep track should have kept a not book but I really do not remember him or the place he was at . he bought some ruger parts from me
but he did house sitting for the people that would stop in for a couple weeks or a month then back home in the lower 48
some where near the coast ( YA I know ) said he made a few dollars selling hand carved and self made trinkets to the tourist , (there was ship(s) thet stopped in at the port he lived by ) and lived rent free + a little money just staying at the houses . had a river in the front yard and fished it regularly a real care free life
he even sent me a quart jar of salmon he had made ( part of his rations ) he told me do not eat the skin unless I wanted to be running to the crapper big time and only the people use to eating it ( the skin part ) could get away with it LOL
as for the fish ,,, my wife said no way 😲 I was going to eat something some one I had never met canned and who knows what . but I still remember his generosity and his stories
Lots of work went into that.
Was that jar about 1/2 full of oil? Oh maaaaaaan that's the good stuff. Only two ways to eat dead fish, oily like that or squaw candy, dry smoked with salty/sweet brine.
That's a real generous move sending you that. When I was in Prudhoe Bay I went out in a Rolligon to check a new ice island we were making, Joe was driving. He's from Pt. Lay, native Yup'iq. We drove miles out there in pitch black, no compass, no tracks, no markings, no stars, and he took us straight to it. We drove all around and admired it then he turned and did a big looping arc out over the sea ice, and drove straight back to the truck on "shore" where the ice road ended. I swear I could hear the seal drums of his ancestors echoing in the Rolligon. I asked "How do you DO that?!" and in that thick native accent, all embarrassed, he just said "I don't know". Then he reached behind the seat and gave me a jar of that oily fish. I got back to camp and showed Kuper, he said "Joe charges me $20 for those!" Score!!
Here's a taste of what it's like up there. See how a guy could use a big revolver? (keeping this on topic)
Thanks nanuq907
yes it was oil and fish . I am embarrassed to say I did not try it but the wife was insistent I had better not .
I did not toss it out it went to to our pets and they loved it . ( darn wife )
as far as the frozen north " up there where the husky's go " they do have unique vehicles . I watch some shows on you tube and TV for the most part seems like a up hill challenge most of the time .. I have watched some portions of the sled dog races there definitely tough people physical and mental . but then again I think most who survive and live there fall into that category
will add in your land rover is quit the nice vehicle for the area the older ones seemed to last forever see a lot of them in Africa on the documentary's also. sadly the newer ones from what I hear have electrical issues that seem to be there down fall
