back at it
i got my computer back, and my movie program back, and the fall is coming on, and i’m gettin’ stuff done….BUT – this computer is not working right. it won’t remember my password as many times as i tell it to. it ignores me like my kids do. my movie program froze up about 8 times tonight. and it is not working smooth like it once did. too bad since we have bought a new version and everything. my guess is i might be able to make a few more things before i just give up on the damn thing. have i told you how much i hate computers?
on a positive not though, i will show you TWO NEW VIDEOS.
first, there was this old beer cooler and the box was old. we had put new hinges on it and worked to get the doors closing right and it was a real pain. then i made the stupid mistake of shutting it down for a month this summer and the moisture got into it and the foam inside swelled up and then it was obvious that this box would never close up tight again. the compressor was fine but the BOX – shot. this thing was a beast too, it took 5 big guys to get it out of the bar area. i called the joker who sold it to me and he sent some guys over to haul it away:

and also – i’ve been working on a sculpture that was wholly inspired because i wanted something to put whirligigs on. so i built this whirligig holder. it’s supposed to get 5 whirligigs but i only got 3 on today. i’ll finish tomorrow so you get to see this before it’s even done.
