I have a lot of memories of growing up and body surfing @ the wedge. I remember one time when there was a particularly heavy surf and nobody was dumb enough to try it I though I knew better BUT I went out anyway. I got caught in a rip tide and thought that I was not going to make it in. It took everything I could do to make it in. Needless to say I never went out again on a "Red Flag Day"
 
For you tractor people -

Diesel Creek - Matt Stetar. He has been buying up old "Hasn't run in years" construction machines and getting them running again and completely restoring some. He resells most and has gone from a single bay garage under his rented house to owning a farm and very long driveway back to his new huge shop with new home next to it. He has been buying some "really big" machinery this past year, like a 200', 200 ton crane, Mack heavy duty diesel semi tractor and now a 55 ton trailer for it. He buys a lot from auctions, but also wherever he can find it. He fixes and flips a lot of what he buys to pay for his future projects, and seems to be doing incredibly well at it based on his new shop and new house. He has brought back to life several diesel engines that were frozen from water entering the cylinders and several projects that I thought there would be no way hat he would succeed.

Scrappy Industries - Sam............, is a friend of Matt. He is doing similar restores and frequently works together with Matt from Diesel Creek. His dad and uncles own a large farm with several barns full of considerably high tech machinery and tools for making, re-making whatever is needed for the farm and his rust recovery projects. Sam is now building his own shop behind his recently purchased home on large property. One recent purchase was a Small partly finished DIY bulldozer that he will be remaking for his son. I doubt that his son will be able to operate it yet as he is only about 3, so has several years to finish remaking the bulldozer and building a blade for it. Then mom's flower beds will be history.

For those of you who like to take photos of your woodworking projects and post them -

Learning how light behaves and how to use it for best photo results with nearly any camera is the biggest step in getting good results with your photos.

Camera Club Live - Barbe Moorings. He posts a new Youtube video every week and has been doing so for over three years, so plenty to watch. Most are of small size items on a table top. He always starts by showing the finished photo, and then takes you step by step with explanation of each detail and method needed to reach the completed shot. He is a great teacher. This type of photo is called "Still Life" or "Product" photography. Less is more in this kind of photo, so single or just a couple of items in the shot produces more interesting photos. Learn how to do it on a table top and then scale it up as needed for the rest of your photography.

Don't think for a moment that you need to buy any of the high dollar pro photo gear that he uses. I have nice cameras and lights now, but started with Kodak camera, a small table in the middle of my living room, with all of the furniture pushed aside. Back then I was using some of the reflector clip-on lights from the hardware store on DIY wooden stands. Changing bulb sizes and distance was how I regulated the light levels, and I was using a 35 mm film camera. It can be done with a film camera, but digital with adjustment capability is so much easier. You still need a way to adjust the light brightness, and flash with light level adjustment capability makes this very easy.

If anyone wishes to know more about cameras and lighting, even if just for use with a cell phone camera, please ask. I will be happy to help.

Dave,
Have you seen the Canadian Lynx videos? This woman has been taking care of MAX since he was a kitten. He has a health problem and cannot be released, so she has provided a place for him. He's a "really big" cat who is as tame as a house cat.

I didn't know about that linx, but I have a cat myself, and even being tame he has scratched my hands or my legs, so with the size of the paws of that linx I wouldn't be so sure it could nor rip my face or leg off when wanting to play with me...
 
Toni,
She spends time and plays with him often, and she has scolded him several times on the videos for playing "Too Rough". He is taken to schools for the kids to see and learn about him, but he is always on a leash with her holding the leash in the videos that I have seen. Just like a house cat, he loves boxes, and the bigger the better. Before that outside pen, he lived in a heated garage, with a big doggie door to access a smaller pen outside. Inside he spent most of his time in an inside cage, but she would let him loose inside to play in a box, or to eat, etc. Search her website for older videos of him. She also has several other animals that cannot be released for health reasons.

A part of me has always wanted a domesticated mountain lion as a pet. Sicko that I am, I'd want to take it to the dog park just to mess with people's minds. 🤣

This is a newer one, where he's started his own 3d printing store up in the Omaha area. He's been gaining about 1,000 subscribers per week. It is an interesting concept, and can see something similar going over well in our small town with all the farmers needing something that just can't be purchased anymore. I personally don't want to be somewhere everyday, so not my cup of tea, but interesting concept none the less. In his last video he covers some of how he quotes prints and what he's been averaging in income per month (surprisingly not bad).

Has anyone ever watched "In The Air With Sam" ? Sam is a high climber who maintains and installs TV and radio broadcast antenna towers. His latest video shows him working at 1,000'.

When I was young I used to do this, but never went as high as Sam, 386' was my highest job, an FM broadcast tower, but it was on the peak of a 1450' mountain. I mostly changed light bulbs, but occasionally did repairs to the FM antennas.

Now at 84 years I have trouble on step ladders.
