Tie a chain to a brick
« on: April 17, 2018, 06:00:17 PM »
and you could fly it like a kite in this wind today.  As far as I can tell, there's nothing aerodynamic flying today.  Even the magpies are walking.

NW gusts to 60 mph.

Current for when you click on it:

Well, you haven't gotten any snow in the last 6 hours so it could be worse. ;)

Funny, I was about to make a remark about not having any power outages, and blink!  Had a 5-second one.  Of course I never reset various clocks on my stuff.

No snow though, you're right.

Weld some links together so the chain is solid, holding the cinder block, and mount the whole contraption to an old truck coil spring so it bobs and moves a bit and can turn into the wind like a weather vane, and you've got some cool yard art to go with the tractor tire planter  and the virgin Mary bathtub shrine.
I promise not to duck.

He can set it next to the toilet flower planter.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

We actually had two-house-away neighbors like that, right down to a tire fence.  Wife1, who had a great sense of humor (she married me, after all), said they'd probably make a bunch of money by writing a how-to article on making a fence out of tires.

It was an old rural subdivision where the Covenants had expired.
