Prelude to the Super Moon!

You guys getting your gear ready for the Super Moon? It's peak will be November 14th, and the moon will be the closest to the earth since the last 68 years! Here's a shot taken at our rural, midwest farm last night.

bside is playin' with Photoshop, eh? Heh, heh! It's all good since the image has outstanding artistic value. I'd put that on my wall right now!

Aw shucks... you caught me.

Thanks, as always, for all the compliments guys. I love see what you all are shooting.

Not as cool as yours, but since you asked, I've shot a few recently.
I didn't take them to post, I just have a 'habit" of photographing the projects I do.

Any way, here's my '02 with 232,000 miles, and how I spent my weekend.

Bob:

Very cool indeed! Better than Photoshop, fer sher. I admire your skill.

Bob,

Thank you for making me glad I live in CA. I remember holes in my trunk and fenders and rusted out gas tanks from OH. Lost more than one car to the rust that never sleeps. Now I have an 04 Highlander that looks showroom new because of Meguiars and garage parking.

Good luck on your project. Looks excellent so far.

JakeJ · « **Reply #4634 on:** 14 Nov 2016, 06:13 pm »

Bob, are you going to do the section behind the rear wheel well also? I'm guessing the other side is about equal?

Agree with bside, welding thin material is really hard. I can only do it with a TIG/MIG welder. Forget wire, gas, or stick.

Bob in St. Louis · « **Reply #4635 on:** 14 Nov 2016, 06:15 pm »

Thanks guys!
Jake, I'm not sure about about the rear section.

Doing it with the black rubberised undercoating like I did on the rockers would look weird.
But I also don't want to deal with the paint, primer, clearcoat. Not sure yet.

Nice pic. Right now it is rainy and overcast here in Oregon. It was very bright on Saturday when we had a dry not but don't think we are going to have any luck here tonight.

Nice shot Jon L! With that yellowish color, we now know why it is said that, "The moon is made of cheese."

I was lucky to catch this shot tonight of the Super Moon, in between the clouds, just before the rain.

Laides & Gentlemen,

This here is a "Wheel Bug" otherwise known as an "assassin" bug. It preys on pest and other insects. It spears other bugs with its enormous
and sharp proboscis. Ouch! This one was big... probably 1.5" and rolled onto the front deck today. It had amazing camouflage for the rock and the fall colors.
