Art & Inspiration I love this sh...stuff

But wait, there's more...

Yeah, not a lotta office time...

I always hang my credentials from events on this Orient Express br*** lamp

 

Some of this I actually use.


Red Devil paint shaker, the best. The shift knobs are for the 39. When going to events it'll be a different knob than the last appearance.

Yes the grenade is a real training unit now made into a shift knob. Pretty heavy, I probably wouldn't make a long trip with it, maybe spin it on once there. Forks n syncros might *****.

Really old shtuff

@Moriarity
What's the engine, Mark?

 

Dammit that is sweet!!! Out of everything you showed us that is close to being the holy grail of all induction systems

 

I don't have much for Neat old stuff, but if mowers count, I have this one.

C'mon Mark, we can clearly see this one is AI...

 

Moriarty, you know that it's a sickness? There is definitely something wrong.

 

I wouldn’t mind being Down with the sickness

 

@noboD, all the stuff @Moriarity has posted is on his service porch. He still has the kitchen, bathrooms, closets, and another half dozen rooms to sort out for posting.
I'm 77 and hope that I can live to see half the stuff he has left. It's sort of like watching a combination of two TV shows...
Lifestyles of the rich and famous and Hoaders.

 

I imagine Mark acquiring all this stuff over the years and on innumerable occasions repeating the words...

"I'll take 'em all."

 

Nah, it all means something. Discovery, make a deal, acquisition, that's the action. The juice. Once you've done it now there's room for more meaning and discovery. Then you discover the peripherals. Maybe some of the periphery was bourne of the main artifact, or vice-versa. If you make a slightly fresh discovery a****st your stuff like something you just didn't see for a while or forgot you had it, then that gig plays over again and you relive the adventure that brought it. May have been simple, may have been arduous. The only constant is it doesn't stop. It might morph into something else. The "terrain " may change when a holy grail pops up and they want something you have, and no big deal. You already found it, had it, saved it for that new home it's now off to. Collections both revolve and evolve. Some stuff stays forever. It's not a sickness, it's a discipline.

 

I am putting this one in a 4-H quiz next week.

 

I'm surprised you didn't have some Lee Plastic tail light lenses in stock for this.

 

Here's my cool stuff...
