Pinball_pw Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Loons are a favorite of mine. They have a beautiful call. They look so different up north than they do down south as they change their colors. Here is one from up in Wisconsin this weekend. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiva Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Though I wish I could be sitting by, or floating on a lake hearing the call of the Loon, I have to content myself to the fountain I have. It has several audio tracks to choose from, one being that of the Loon. A brief snippet just taken. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 More from our neighborhood suburban sanctuary. Neighbor knocked on the door earlier and asked if I wanted to see this. Another neighbor that is challenged by physical labor is paying him to clean up storm damage from weeks ago, and look what was under this limb. With it's long spindly legs and running like Bambi on ice I wonder if it was born today. Saw the doe earlier when saying goodbye to a friend leaving after lunch, but where did the doe go after playing with the other neighbors rodents (3lb incessantly barking bugs)? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Follow up on the fawn, it's been in our backyard for a couple of days. Saw it with the doe after the thunderstorm earlier and it is moving around like it's getting stronger. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 A short vid of an Osprey flyby. At volume and with headphones, for best effect. Their sound signature is like no other. Sometimes, they can shake the house with their bass output. 👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 My bass absorption lamp stand. Years ago I bought these triangular bass absorption corner foam pieces, only to discover a little later on that they do very little for deeper bass frequencies. So, I then bought some acoustic cotton panels and made my own corner bass traps instead. These were then tossed out of sight for years, then had the idea to put them together, get a couple of tiles, one on the bottom for stability and one top and use it for a lamp stand. It sits on the side of the couch and goes unnoticed. I don't know if it does anything for the room or not, but it does support a lamp.😀 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 He's building a '32 Ford, from the ground up. A company in Ohio has the original dies for the body parts. They machined everything so they can make new parts that will fit perfectly on an original frame, and fit more perfectly that the original parts did. He has about $100k into in parts so far, and it has been a seven year project since he was doing it for himself. It does have a Chevy engine in it though... the resale value is higher than if it has a Ford engine in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pics of more of his cars but I have to fiddle with the format to decrease size. He's in his 80's and still building them in his shop in his back yard..This is about 15 years or so ago. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
