arrutled · 08-07-2009, 10:03 AM

Ill bring my d90 too if anyone wants to have some shots of their car in HD video or regular stills. Im getting pretty handy with the thing.

larryn · 08-07-2009, 10:48 AM

PMs sent. Anybody's invited, but let me know via PM so that we have enough grub and you have directions.

Andy, I'll let ya use my 14mm f2.8 prime, AF-S Nikon mount. It is some sick glass.

F.U. Sony for my bedroom wega crapping out (failure code 5) after only 6 years...

amybang · 08-10-2009, 03:31 PM

I got a new avatar

<-------

A friend was taking some pictures of me to practice working with a live model. This was one of the neat ones that involved Orca.

Another neat one is my Facebook icon, for those of you who have friended me there (but no Orca).

I like it a lot!

arrutled · 08-10-2009, 04:04 PM

Did a little work with larry's old sway bar today.
Welded in the High stiffness hole and ground it down flush so no one including myself will ever have their cars brake lines cut out on the highway. Cut off the low stiffness holes and rounded it out cause ill never adjust the sways honestly. And then sand blasted it. Primer and paint will come later this week.

ML · 08-10-2009, 07:12 PM

Nice!

larryn · 08-10-2009, 08:11 PM

Dayum! Nice work!! So only the middle stiffness is left?? Cool! (and that was quick)

ML · 08-10-2009, 08:24 PM

Obviously somebody was bored at work today...

larryn · 08-10-2009, 09:18 PM

Mike, I wasn't wondering the same thing. Honest.

...nice to see the beans fermenting next to the fridge too. Ahhhh fermented bean mush. 3 week mark yet?

I'm guessing your bored days at work are still far better than mine. At least you can test drive some of your designs, right?
