GLASSMANOAK'S Contest Thread #143 for WINNERS and with MULTIPLE WINNERS !!

this is for the tootle puff.....(Fuzzy you might want to think about it)..

I already have a nautilus, though not the same as yours. Holds 5.5 mL and, at 18W, tastes wonderful! Wish I could afford to buy a few dozen more atomizers for it before the world comes to an end.

Well, thunderstorms everywhere you look. I am in and out of the garden between rain showers, but the wind is pretty nasty even when it is not pouring, so this isn't easy - but it has to be done and I mean by yesterday. Sigh...

Welcome to ECF @zewyi73 Check out this neat contest thread where you can win some really good e-liquid just by chatting with the great folks who hang out here (see complete "rules" on page 1). Lots of fun here! Nicest people on the forum and you just might learn a thing or twelve...

5-30 - 4: The stone falling? even at a low slope. Move! get out of the way. Ropes did not help. Lord save those in between. We all knew it could happen. None of us wanted it to. Of course worked stopped. How to deal with that after? Really, the mother wants your explanation? You just walk away, with your head down. You really had no words.

Others try to support you, when you know they are all doing it. I just read, look at the plans; watch it being built. Not right, well not in my mind. I am going to help. I pull the rope, lay the post upright; move the wood. It is not my place and I know it, I will not work like that on the angle; there I will only watch carefully. The ropes are inspected daily, as well as the logs. An intricate system, allows the stones to stay still at the end of the day. The end of the day was hopefully around eleven in the morning. Things happened.

Are we talking about the foundation, or the building? Well sand is one of the best, if not the best soil to lay a foundation on. Check. Something heavy, for the first level. Check. The rest is how did the rest go up? No skipped the first part, there is a foundation. A full level at the bottom. The rest is math. Some see it in numbers, others see it on paper drawn out. Multiple layers of paper to show the progression is helpful.

Found out a bit ago about a little cookout this afternoon I could go to. Just not feeling RL social right now. Want to go, but don't want to. I almost rather take a nap, LOL. Decisions decisions.

Hopefully everything is going well. I'll catch y'all in a bit.

Decided to go to the cookout. Just had a hotdog. It's a nice evening to sit out so that's good.

Maybe I'll have another, LOL!

Catch y'all later!

Lack of sleep is hitting me and the back is acting up even I didn't really do much or spend an excessive amount of time standing/walking today. Looks like an early unplug tonight.

I'm already dreading tomorrow. Trying not to think about work but it is inevitable. The longer you are away the harder it is to go back

5/30 - 5: Well I guess it is almost easier to show the point. Okay, take a piece of paper and draw three dots on it, remember to make it big, this is the base and foundation. Yes we try to use the wall to block the sun, but we do not try to work in it anyway. Terracing, pergolas, in those early hours. Sorry, so three dots, with one in the middle, right? Okay take away the middle dot. Can you see the little dot moving on blocks, with ropes up a slope much easier than those huge stones?

I mean this is no little stone, if it comes back downhill. Well life is on my mind, and other's as well. Time in actually thought highly on this, etching the point so finely. We all know another can be made, but if we can get this up the rest should be "smooth sailing" The point get's on top of the base, the crowd roars! Even I wanted to take a full week off.

So how do you take care of this very fine point once it is on top. Umm the base, and going to the top. Four or five very good wooden poles bundled, and roped. Four of those were made to be a point, at times, other wooden structures. Have the ropes go around the four corners, and just spin. Sounds super hard doesn't it? Take away logs, turn as needed. Lift and rest. Oh look more stone. I did not expect that.

Enjoy your stay in SF. Don't forget your jacket - quite a bit cooler than Sonoma.

It was unusually warm. Tshirt and shorts day and night!

That Macklemore concert ranks in the top two I've attended in my life!

We had planned to return home yesterday, but stopped by a friend's pool/bday party along the way, and stayed the night.

Good morning, everyone. The whole household seems to have woken up early today...

Same here and not nice considering the last of the revelers went to sleep around 4am. I'm rarely able to nap, but managed a much needed one today.

Hey, I thought that four letter word had been banned here?!

Nope, not banned--not like cats, in any case (don't blame me, I'm just the messenger!). Still, I gather that it's something most of us try to avoid thinking about...

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Our plans for dinner fell through once the kids (and our friends' kids) started exhibiting the warning signs of being tired... so it will just be scrounging in the kitchen for whatever's on hand. Good night, Treefam!

5/30 - 6: And with this I guess good night. So the three dots are big right? I mean almost the entire paper, okay maybe make two sheets. You need a path for the stone. Draw a line almost a full distance of the stone you see in your mind. See how the path needs to be bigger? for rope, logs and things. Not taking away from the outer dimensions.

So the line you are drawing, or the two inside the base, is bigger than a full stones width. A slope of course, we are building something. But with stone on both sides, after you built it, and ropes around. Maybe in your mind you can see how a rock can be lifted simply with rope. If you need to change the direction of the wooden poles you can. Yes, turning the wood under the stone, to move left was very scary.

One clever guy, just showed us how to put a single block of wood, to stop movement. Duh. and he is the genius. What a save. Having a large stone not move, if that is what you are trying. Did you see that stone just move to a corner? Well turn left, it all goes left. So new lines to the left, I do not have the papers. Ah good night all. Sleep well.
