I was told years ago that the ridges were the result of zinc deficiency. Much more recently was diagnosed with psoriasis that presented a little more typically with flaking skin plaques, but none of that on my hands or feet. Wonder if original diagnosis was just wrong. The ridges on my nails are perpendicular to the pic for what that’s worth. Guess I’ll ask my doc next time
Check out J&W auto wreckers outside Sacramento. Only AMC stuff and tons of nice interior bits. They strip it all so folks aren’t hacking things apart in the yard like typical savages. They had all kinds of stuff for my 78
Yes on a tiki course somewhere in Virginia. They were two super hokey 100-150 foot holes. One of them involved a tire. Does that count?
Owner of a short shovel here who spends a lot of time shoveling. The D-ring handle is key. Also way less likely to break the shaft with too much leverage. Carry a pickaxe too and you’re in business. Lot easier to fit both of those on the tire carrier mount than to stuff a long shovel in the pickup box when it’s packed to the brim. The key to telling who’s in it for looks is how beat up the spade is.
Taycan bottoms out in the plebe parking spots apparently, he must have found a workaround
You know that occurred to me after I wrote the comment, but gonna roll with it. Maybe he is an aluminum salesman whose territory includes BC and AK?
“Alcan Wagon” on the hood leads me to believe it’s for Alaskan road trips.
Earlier is better, by about 11 I’d expect everything to be pretty busy.
Top tip - come from 101 on the Marin side via Richmond bridge. Use gate 9 on lakeville highway on the west side of the facility. It’s still busy but not anything like 37. Get there by 10 and it’s a breeze, they’ll park you at the top of the hill and shuttle down to Turn 4 where you can get to either side of the track pretty easy
I think so. They were a relatively low production car and pretty cool by GM standards at the time. Good memories riding around stuffed on the back parcel shelf while my grandpa hauled me and my little bro around metro Chicago. Somehow the overbite face grew on me in a nostalgic kinda way
Check Cabelas website. Kelty 12x12 Noah’s tarp and a pair of cabelas brand telescoping tent poles. Simply tie the one end of the tarp to your rack and the rest is self explanatory. Might try a smaller tarp if you’ve got a 4R, even the lumber rack on my truck isn’t quite long enough to tie it up with a few wrinkles, but it works fine if you stake the guy wires down nice and taut.
“Architect does civil . . . “
Well, there’s your problem.
Just look at it sideways and it’ll poke holes in itself. Stare long enough and it’ll vanish.
What have we here?
What is this metallic looking precipitate? The sample is a piece of actinolite schist from the Franciscan complex in Marin County, CA. It was found in a spoils pile on a hillside grading site in Mill Valley, where it could be native as a constituent of an apparent shear zone between sandstone and melange, or could be fill brought over from Tiburon, where these ultramafic rocks are much more common. Either way it came from somewhere nearby.
The metallic looking stuff wants to flake apart into tiny bits like mica, but never seen weathered biotite quite this shiny. Has no cleavage at all that I can see with a 10x lens. It’s pretty soft and easily scraped off with a knife. If I dump the bits in a glass they float with the surface tension but sink when I agitate it. Gold would be extremely uncommon, but not unheard of, around here. Any guesses?
Still not convinced it’s gold, but would certainly be the find of my lifetime if it were. Chalcopyrite seems far more likely in general, but that’s also not something common around here or that I have really ever worked with at all. I’ll keep investigating.
No sign of pyrite to my eye - no cubic structure, no cleavage, no sign of hematite or rust anywhere.
I keep messing with little bits of it and some of it is pretty malleable and will roll up like foil, but only to a point when I stab at it with scissors and it flakes apart. Not a lot of sulfides around here I know of, but I’m just an engineering guy. It’ll make a nice office shelf piece regardless.
Unsure what this is - definitely sheared, mostly large euhedral actinolite crystals with a few bits of what look like pyroxene/pillow basalt. Never expect to see gold around here but unable to talk myself out of it. Somebody tell me I’m a moron. Thanks
This is my childhood right here. Haven’t thought about some of those sets since they were new. That would keep me occupied for weeks and weeks, what a collection
