Title: Tie a chain to a brick
Post by: 230RN 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.

He can set it next to the toilet flower planter.

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.
