    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I know the Leica is valuable, even now. I haven't looked up the Contessa, but I would guess it's worth a little bit. Frankly, I think film capture is (at least in many cases) still superior to digital. BUT, the gap is closing. There is something about large format black and white film though...

    First Engine Rebuild you did

    Closest I've done to a rebuild was probably the work I did on the Silverline (GM 250, I6). But I've been thinking about taking one on sometime. I'm not great at it, but I enjoy it ... for some weird reason.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I haven't shot film in years until these two rolls. Digital is just TOOO easy. But Dad had all kinds of stuff. His Hasselblad was sold long ago, but there are some fun things like a Brownie Hawkeye, and Kodak 35 from the 40s I'm guessing and a couple of land cameras that I'm guessing are sold...

    Engine Serial Number Decoded

    Welcome aboard: I don't think that's an engine model. I think you might be seeing a part number. Typically, there's a tag on the engine somewhere with the model number stamped on it. Do you have picture?

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    LOL ... crazy, but yes. Kodak even. And then ... even crazier ... there are places out there to have it processed.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Had some fun in the last couple of months. I snagged two of Dad's cameras after he passed and shot some photos. Real live film photos from a 1950s era Zeiss Camera: They were shot a while ago. I just got around to getting the processing done.

    Amazing 3D Printing

    Actually - you can do a lot through some freebie software out there. The printer should have software you can download for it to actually print. Some of the 3D software that is available open source is VERY good. I'm using one of them for design work. If you want names, let me know.

    Amazing 3D Printing

    GM if you've never looked into 'em ... and have a nice one ... do a little research. It is VERY impressive what they are capable of. I toured the National Transportation Research Lab in Knoxville and their 3D printing lab ... I was blown away by what can be done. Literally printing metal gear...

    Amazing 3D Printing

    ... and by that time, you're too board to be paying close attention. You don't see the rats nest for another three hours.

    Lowe line boat

    Outboard looks like an early 70s Evinrude. Taking a guess at 9.5 based on the boat size. Welcome aboard.

    daily music fix

    Haven't been up to the museum at Whitefish or to the cathedral in Detroit in a while. Both are cool places if you want to see some neat stuff on the "Fitz."

    So, what did you do today?

    Diningroom table - with epoxy?

    I agree. I liked doing the smaller floods better. I could see what was happening ... and felt like I could control the bubbles a little bit more with the smaller pour. I avoided sanding because I didn't want the risk of what I was making that I couldn't buff everything out. I really wanted a...

    So, what did you do today?

    Real homemade applesauce! Wow, haven't had that in a while. Nice. Today was a wild day. Shipped the boy off to the USAF. He did a good job working out his options, killed it on his ASVABs and is now off to Lackland AFB.

    Doral 250se

    Never seen one either myself. I'm sure people have made them as they've worked, or someone may have gotten hold of some old manufacturing diagrams, but I've never seen any.
