Danelle's "bearings"

Rainier 002

I'm sorry I have not participated in the photo contest. It has taken me awhile to get my bearings. I have found that if I get lost I can use the land to get my bearings straight. (No pun intended) To my east there is the mighty Rainier. To my west is the Pacific ocean. To my north is Puget sound. Lastly to my south is the Columbia river. Other natural features include the cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. Plenty of trees and rivers with cascading waterfalls. Even if I don't get my bearings I don't mind getting lost.

It would be worth bearing in mind that bearings can have a significant impact on your ability to get your bearings....

Michael's "Bearings"

Other than the fact that this train is bearing down on me...
Many of the trains parts use bearings reduce the wear on moving parts.  Just about anything mechanical does.  Roller bearings, sleeve bearing, needle bearings....  The Diesel-Electric Locomotive may have a few less moving parts that its earlier cousins because like a hybrid car, it transfers its energy to the wheels with electricity.

Next Week "Devoted"

Bearings due Sunday Night.

Michael's "Waste"

I went past the Sarpy County land fill on my way to Schram state park.  I really didn't have to leave my garage to snap a picture of "waste". 
I felt kind of silly taking a picture of a dumpster, but was photographing ducks nearby and got a couple snaps in.  For the love of the art.

Next Week "Bearings"

Waste due Sunday night.

Ryan's "Inner Circle"

Way south on 72nd St. is a little airfield devoted to flying R/C and control line airplanes. On control line planes, the pilot stands in the inner portion of a circle while the plane orbits around the outer part of the circle.



Not the greatest photo... these things are fast!

Michael's "Inner Circle"

I guess its the inner circle that holds the wheel on!  As I was downtown, I also noticed many bicyclist putting their bikes away or finishing a ride.  In fact an organized ride I used to ride in, and was probably in good enough shape to do the 25 mile stretch.

I guess I'm not in that inner-circle anymore!  I will not get the t-shirt and the water bottle.

Next Week "Waste"

Inner Circle due Sunday Night.  (maybe later if Danelle thinks she has time.)

Ryan's "Outer Limits"

I went camping with about 200 of my closest friends this weekend. Several brought jet skis. Here, Adam is slaloming the trees that make up the outer limits of the cove we were in.

Michael's "Outer Limits"

I went to this little park the other day, but The Toaster had to stay outside.  You could say it was on the outer limits of the park.

I meant to venture out with my camera more this weekend, but the heat just kept chasing me back inside.  I did get on the motor bike for a while with some people from the 48th Street Club, but I have quit taking my camera on the bike because the vibration and dust cause me other problems.  A backpack helps, but not when it was this hot.

Next week "Inner Circle"

Ryan's "Conclusion"

I think Axl Rose was quoting Paul Newman when he said "Nobody gets out of life alive."

This is the general conclusion:

Michael's "Conclusion"

The trip my son and I were on, came to a sudden conclusion when we ran into this scene.
We can also draw the conclusion that this building will not be torn down, because its way to much work to take it to the dump this way.
