I'm not overly fond of cats, but that's a very nice image.

I wish that I'd taken pictures of Korean farmers up in the Cheorwon Valley.

In rural Korean fashion, there are no colors which do not go together. You'd think that Timothy Leary had developed his own men's clothing line exclusively for the R.O.K.

My father was color blind. My mother had to inspect him before he left the house for work. On his worst day, compared to the average South Korean farmer, he looked like a conservative Amish man.

I used to do a good bit of welding, and that is a homemade welding chipping tool, or slag hammer. It isn't for chiseling, but for chipping the slag off the surface of a weld. This is done for several reasons, among them to: a)inspect the weld beneath the slag for defects/voids, which then need to be rewelded; b)to prepare the weld underneath for the application of additional welds in joints which require them; c)to prepare the weld to be painted(slag on the surface will eventually chip off, exposing bare metal); d) to chip welding "spatter" from the surface of the metal surrounding the weld. I'm not certain, but I believe that modern welding methods have made the slag hammer obsolete(I haven't welded in years.).

For more accurate and comprehensive information, we have at least one professional welder here on the forum. Unfortunately I'm not certain of his username, but I think it's "G-Mac" or something close. He makes and sells target stands here. Maybe he'll stop in.

Back to all the wonderful pictures of random objects. Please pardon the interruption.

Regards,
Andy

All true and much depends on the rod used to arc weld with. Some of us neanderthals still weld downhill with 6010 and while most is wire brushed off and ground down with a hand grinder a chipping hammer is in every welders tool box.
 
Teddy

I got this bear in 1949.

When I left home in 1966, my mom had him dry cleaned (!), put him in a bag, and stuck him in the attic. They moved twice after that, and Teddy ended up residing in two more attics. Not a proper life for someone who had once been a little boy's best friend.

I didn't even know he was still around until 1982, when I was hunting through my parents' attic for something else.

Needless to say, Teddy was promptly rescued.

He's been an observer of my life ever since then, usually sitting on top of one bookcase or another.

Y'all don't even want to know what all this ol' bear's seen over the past thirty-five years. Suffice it to say that could be the reason for his perpetually wide-eyed expression.

I was looking for wildlife around our house today and a funny thing happened as I was carefully moving in the forest. Some little birds were startled by me and one of them escaped by flying between my legs!

I had a small video camera in my hand recording HD video and this is a screen capture of the bird about to dive below the camera and between my legs. I could feel it touching one pant leg.

Otherwise the walk was disappointing, no bigfoot and no bears. I was in a mood for a little friendly wrestling but it did not turn out that way today.
