The contractor is about halfway through the bathroom reno & is nearly done with the shower today.

Mrs. Sparkle patiently waited through several of my new guitar days for this. It's her turn now & she's one happy girl!

I swear I hadn’t seen your tree image when I posted what is a piling worn away over possibly 340 years where the ocean waves enter a river mouth at a sharp right turn.
This was at one time one of the few places ocean going trade ships could dock and unload at high tide. The access road has been called wharf lane going way back but it’s been closed to trade and converted to tourism for at least 100 years.
The stump of a piling is old but the boards behind it are much newer.

Here’s a couple of postcard pics of the spot where I work that started as a trade port in 1679.

That first picture I was trying to figure out. I thought is was old driftwood on a quartz counter top! Ah, sand!

The Ogunquit beach sand is indeed quartz!
And I trick the viewer for fun too, sideways rotation.
A bit of garnet comes down the coast too and will separate in the wave action, maybe a specific weight thing?
So the darker contrasting color in this wet sand is the garnet and the lighter is quartz.

Here’s looking north up river from the sneaky piling pic. Rough shape and the owner of the hotel property needs to spend at least $500,000 to rebuild and raise the crumbling piling wall that is no longer above the full moon high tide line.

Installing a new starter rope in my snowblower, I swear the design engineers built the snowblower around the recoil/rope housing...

Unlike the good old days when you wrapped clothes line around a spool on the exposed flywheel!

I remember wrapping many a rope with a knot on one end and a wooden handle on the other around the pulley on an old Briggs and Stratton engine, then cursing after about the fifth time when it wouldn't start.... I also remember the old wind up starters...
