Turtle Coaster

SKMK made this coaster for me (knitted) a year ago.

I use it every day!

Unfortunately, I broke this cup...

It's the third cup I've broken this year.

All three while washing in the sink & slipping out of my hands.

Two of the three cups weren't too precious but the third is a Porsche cup I really like.  The handle broke off in two pieces.

I'll try to "superglue" it back together so that it's at least usable...

 

Friday, November 19, 2021 -- JL Garage visit -- part 3 & Last

I thought the large artwork on the walls were "prints" of some sort.

They're actually very large hand painted oil on canvas!

The "garage" is immense.

Many large rooms (eight, or is it ten very large spaces...).

This was my favorite part...

This is one of the rooms in the also very large "shop" building next door to the "garage."  This was just one of the side rooms with mostly steam powered vehicles in it (most of the room is not visible in the picture; it's mostly to the left and behind me...).

Friday, November 19, 2021 -- JL Garage visit -- part 2

Functional yet artistic design and construction.

The detailing is almost jewel like...

The largest production engine ever, in this Pierce, if I recall correctly...

I think he said it's over 14 liters...

Demonstrating how the headlights pop up.

Individual hand cranks on either side of the interior...

Many special Duesenbergs...

First gen Bronco with 750 hp...

 

Wednesday, November 24, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier -- Nice Day...

While I was sitting on this bench and resting, a guy came up and asked me to call a lifeguard over from the station next to the bench.

He said he was stung by a sting ray and was in pain and wanted help.

I went upstairs and knocked but no one was inside.

I saw a lifeguard truck pass by the pier on the sand so I flagged him down.

The guy with the sting talked to the lifeguard but he said there's nothing he can do.

The lifeguard said the only thing that will help with the pain is warm water...

 

Tuesday, November 23, 2021 -- Culver Steps (new office/shopping building in downtown)

The Culver Hotel.

Some of the actors in the Wizard of Oz supposedly stayed at this hotel during the making of the movie...

The theater on the left closed, due to COVID.

I hope it opens again someday...
