I thought I would share a couple pictures of an old tugboat steam engine that I just finished doing a cosmetic restoration on. It was built around 1912, and is currently on display at the Foss Waterway and Seaport Museum here in Tacoma Washington.

Just a few thoughts on a contributing factor that has helped this country to get into the mess it currently is in.

This is a steam engine that I have been building from a set of rough castings for several years. It is still a long ways from actually running, but I did rig up an electric motor to allow some if the bearings to run in.

Today on the 250th anniversary of the first shots of the American Revolution, I was honored to have participated in the "Hands Off" rally in Tacoma Wa. My camera does not do the crowd justice.

What is saw take place in the oval office today reminded me of two schoolyard bullies shoving someone back and forth between them.the fact that President Zelinski was able to maintain his composure is a true testament to his strength of character.
What a fucking national embarrassment.
What a fucking national embarrassment.
