Day 293 Skull Repaired

Day 293

With some fancy epoxy and a heat gun Sam's skull is permanently together. Here she rest's on Bob's "project table" while the epoxy sets up.  Why the TSA would take her apart is beyond comprehension.  Don't they have xray machines?

And a day of renumbering the blog posts.  Perhaps I will sit her at the table with my while I do this.

Day 291 Camera and Darkroom

Day 291

copyright 2013 polkadot magpie

Sam came with me to Camera and Darkroom, the camera shop I use in Albuquerque. I broke my 18-200 Nikon lens.  So they sent it in for repair.  I can't tell you how much I love this lens, and missed using it.  I walked out with a new fancy tripod, and camera case.  I didn't want to break my lens again with the flimsy tripod I inherited. The camera case was way overdue. 

The owners of Camera and Darkroom are always a delight to work with.  They are in a new location at Menaul and Washington.  I'll be seeing them this week because the tripod has a pull out monopod, and I can't remember how to get it out!!!!

Day 290 Stong Bones

Day 290

copyright 2013 polkadot magpie

Sam visited Mary our pharmacist, and stocked up on calcium and Sam-e.  Mary thought Sam-e was the perfect supplement for a skeleton named Sam. Funny mary!

Mary explains to Sam why calcium is so important. 

At this point we noticed her skull was not lined up....TSA really didn't need to take it apart did they?
Today we worked on it...and it just won't line up.  So with heat any some fancy epoxy, we are going to attempt to repair it tomorrow.

Each day is a gift, open now.
