Lwien, the winner will be drawn at random. I do not 'pick' THE winner. :cool: That will be done by Ant Re-Namer and done on video. So, the Grand Prize is easy and will be awarded fairly. If you have followed our past contests, I try to set it up, so everybody gets an equal shot at winning. I...

Hereatlast, that's a Marmot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmot The Wikipedia entry shows this Marmot in Yellowstone. "Marmots are generally large ground squirrels... Those most often referred to as marmots tend to live in mountainous areas " In the East you have the Ground Hog...

Nice shots everyone... Well, shvetaketu42, that's the range I thought, but I was used to looking at them from the west and wasn't sure. Here is a shot from over by Henry's Fork. And one from the very southwest corner of Yellowstone. We were fortunate to live in Rexburg, ID one summer. But...

Speaking of pictures, this may explain why, when all three products use the same resistor, the Purple-Days Original (2008) and the Toasty Top (2011) heat exchangers, are able to extract a little more heat into the airstream. Orestes says, "TT is stainless steel, and the material is thicker...

shvetaketu42, I guess . . . West of the Mississippi River. I don't know who you are, or where you live, but I think I know that mountain range, from that side (the western side), maybe not. I won't tell here. Nope looked again, but it's pretty... ;) So many creative photos, thanks folks. It...

Seedless weed was the stuff at the top of the tray. Everything had seeds and you had to steal cafeteria tray (right of passage) to de-seed everything. we had two grades of weed back then $20-25 ounces of Mexi and $30-35 ounces of Columbian. Yes, folks those are ounce prices. Once and only once...

Dudes, don't you love, rubbing your way through the margarines of life? BTW I have always worked (and played, and layed flat in a bed) in an environment that required washing your body every day... I have a bad problem with sodium-para whatevers. Since switching to Yardley oatmeal soap...

Yeah, when I first saw 120 degrees I thought, 'that's not very steep' , till I saw they meant 30 degrees beyond vertical (90 degrees). Looks like a blast. :cool:

Does this look like fun? The video is pretty wicked. http://www.damncoolpictures.com/2011/07/takabisha-worlds-steepest-roller.html

I think ( if my potato ain't been bakin' too long, wink ) the background was a contribution of forum member Digital DaVince

Marvin The Martian, right on! The trail pics are great, Major, reminds me of home. Milk, what kind of dog is that? Oldfart 024, of course I won't be able to 'use' that pic, but I like it and it's entered. Just checked this week's work schedule against the calendar, orders are still 5-6 weeks...

Here is a shot I've never seen, of course the last of it's kind. Re-Entry of Atlantis as seen from the ISS.

Apparently the same person who set off the bomb was the shooter. McVey type bomb.

This is bad, hearing on BBC all day.

New subject, Bison Hides... we have been proud to offer the genuine Bison Hide Bottoms. :tup: Almost hit the end of the supply, when we found new hides. No great thing in today's world... right...? :party: They arrived today !!! Still limited quantities, about 1/2 of our recent hide order is...

+++ to all you said :tup: , specially, "it's too soon to go to Mars anyway, NASA should do more important things first." . The new Mars rover appears to have a nuclear power source... Not sure about the source of power on ?Vesta? ... Don't forget Mir, the Soviets have a great deal of low orbit...

Funny thing is, you probably still could, if you could get the film. It might be 127 rollfilm, anyway point was they used to build stuff to last. I like it. BTW, me liking it, has nothing to do with winning anything... This was my ancient rig before film became obsolete. I still have it and...

Thanks, Surf Monkey, for detailing some of the reasons the 'Space' Shuttle and the ISS were just wheel spinners (and political trophies) . . . Look familiar? Nope, that's not an Apollo module, it's the Orion capsule in water landing tests. ie. we are back where we left off in 1972. A bit...
