Scott and Kate's Wedding/Trip to Maine
Some pictures of Scott and Kate, plus the wedding party.
It was a beautiful wedding. It was held in Thomaston, ME, at Scott's parents house. I got to catch up with a lot of people that I had not seen for years -and met some new friends too! We crashed in a nearby cabin, I believe the cabins were owned by friends of the family and loaned to the wedding party guests. It was a grand time with great people!
Dint take crap for pictures of Maine itself.
The last two shots are of the passenger rear tire of my Expo, one with a quarter for scale. After leaving Boothbay, ME. and going about 80 miles down 295, we hit a rolled up plug of metal that tore the crap outta my tire. So after some serious finagaling of a rusted 19mm bolt holding the doughtnut/spare underneath the car we got the spare off and mounted.
The time was about 4:30, the day was a Sunday, the spare was 15 years old and very low on air. We limp to the next exit, then meet some nice people in uhh...somewhere in Maine, named Freddy, Juliet, and Kathy who direct us first to the nearest gas station, for air in the spare, then to the the nearest Sears Auto Center for a replacement tire. Thanks, guys!
However...
It's now 5:06.
Sears Auto Center tire section has closed at five o'clock. We are told that they will open at 6:30am
Every other store that is tire related is also closed.
So we limp down Route 1 for another 150 miles [at less then 35 miles an hour], then check into a scary motel, just outside of Worcester, MA at about midnight [we have been on the road since 1:00am], then get up at 5:30am, and limp back to New Haven via a combination of Rte. 1, Rte. 169, Rte. 44, and Rte. 15, with us finally arriving in New Haven around 8:30am. Although we did consider just taking Rte. 1 all the way back, my 8125/HTC Wizard/MDA PDA phone with TomTom and GPS kept us from what would have surely been an arduous and untimely, yet pretty ride home.
So we are home...
Ashley gets ready for work.
However, she has a flat tire on her car.
We decide to go back to sleep.

Under the Bridge in New Haven, CT
These are a few of shots from under and around the Quinnipiac Bridge [now known as the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge]. The light was failing and all i had on hand was my cell phone, so forgive the poor quality of the shots.
According to some local patrons, it seems safe to launch small boats from this area, so i will try to do that later this week. I would love to explore up the Quinnipiac river, to glimpse the industrial grime and detritus that has built itself, layer upon layer upon her banks for the last 360 years.
Mebbe I should register my boat or something.
Nah...

The car, the boat, and the girl!
The boat is our little practice row boat, built in 2006.
The car is a 1992 Mitsubishi Expo SP AWD and she's a bit busted, but she does go forward and backward - her brakes seem to work too! However the right front strut is busted and the AC does not work [sight glass is empty].
The girl...Well...All i can say is that she's perfect.
Oh yeah, we took the little boat out with my Tanaka 3hp motor. I've decided the boat needs a keel, she is very "flighty" [or extremely maneuverable, depending on who you ask ;)]

1986 Mercedes 190e -Cracked Exhaust Manifold
The silver gunk is some crap I got off of the internet to repair cast iron cracks. It sort of works, in that tends to last around 4-5 days before blowing it self out. Probably because I didn't quite follow the instructions about grinding the edges of the crack. Well, hole really -about 3/4" high by 1/8" at its widest point.
Anyway, the interior of the car was cleaned a few days ago. Soon it will be sold on craigslist. Oh yeah, it's hard to read [well, impossible, actually] but the mileage is 213,135.

Tiny sailing punt
This is a small sailing punt that i saw in some place in CT. It's used for training kids to sail. I like the size and shape of this punt as it's short, but beamy. And, i can build one out of 2 or 3 sheets of plywood. After all this wedding/trip stuff is over, hopefully I'll have enough money to throw one together before the chilly bite of autumn gets me.

Things in The Rain
Some things in the rain. Testing for triple inline images. Seems usable, however there are some spacing issues. Oh well.

Martini Flyer and Flowers
Some images that are not 320x240. The martini was for a flyer I was doing for BAR, dunno why it wasn't approved. I bought martini glasses and spray painted them with glass paint, built a light box and shot probably 75 pictures to get the shots i used.
The flowers were taken in LA a few years back when I first got my Canon GL-1 [which I still have and use weekly] I love dat thing.
Now why the heck are my image locations hosed? Oh well. Hey the email address no longer functions!
Meh! i'll fix it later.
