Designs

My luck would be that the Library would be closed, open but not accepting bedraggled characters or does not exist at all. Lets roll those dice.. one more block to go. Nice pavement they have here. No puddles and the water runs to the gutter. Looks like I can see no cracks at all… Where your mind goes when you're having fun. Street lights look a little odd. All curls and little flourishes. Yellow light. Not bright. Almost like honey. And, yes... I see a sign through the rain. PUB C L BRA. So either we have a pub called CL BRA or I'm in the right place. Lights are peeking out of the high windows. Steps not unlike all those regular middle sized citys you see. Oh, cool. It even has a revolving glass door. Nice wood and brass gripping handles.. more flourishes. Hope its warmer inside than outside… Damn well better not be raining inside..

Today was a Monday alternate. Busy. Many things going on at once and many things that want my attention, each taking me away from my direct item. All need the time and all get a bit. Not getting any one thing finished though. What Is the priority? I did a drive by after work to get my small fan. YAY. Then to get a bit of food for the fridge but the wood for the shelves will have to wait.Fan looks awesome with its new engine.

Rambling through the files I found a stack of drawings I did. Well I was looking for a proof for a balloon pin. I found everything but the finished version. I am going to have to call about it. Drat. I even ran over plans for a cement house ( eco friendly and the local environment as well as being hard to spot. Then there is a .. well look below and you can see a few of what I was up to. Sill no chance to get pictures taken of anything but balloons. I'll see if I have time to fiddle with any of them. Its been a busy day and its still busy now.

The cement house. It has two side walls of 2ft concrete colored mix cement color matched to to local terrain. The front and back walls were fully glass with rolling security shutters. The house would act as its own temp control by opening the upper vents in the front and the lower vents in the back to allow the air flow and revers in the evening. Fully open concept with glass panels to close off the view to the main suite.

Master bed/bath extension where I live now. The way it is now the house ends at the wall of the new master. This would add 200 square feet and a full sized bath with two walk in closets. Very expensive.
 This is a somewhat cheaper modification. The bath being in this configuration saves on trenching for the plumbing. At this time I would rather minimize not expand.
 A nice single floor design with good flow and lots of storage.
 Another floor plan as I was trying to get down below 2000 sq ft. This had a space for the kids to hang out in their own space.
 There are a lot of designs. These I thought I had lost.

Below is my first try at a flying certificate. With all four balloons.

The next version with Patturns In The Sky. Front and back.
 Back with Balloonists Prayer.

Patturns In The Skys double pin design. It took a bunch of designs to get to this.
 Here is the design I did for Pitas Kiss as a double pin. First a rough.
 We changed the star to more emulate a Sheriffs star. The final was great but I cant find my copy of it.
We both have to redo our pins. The double pins cost skyrocketed and now are totally expensive for an item we give away after flying with us. I have made a new version for my new balloon and Bob wants a better single pin design.

Its always fun to do designs for friends. It never gets boring.

Some of the ten or twelve links I found interesting today.. Ill start with the coolest one first.


Sweet information and cool to learn.

This would be my brain if it was smaller. I have a small brain. Just lots of brain juice.


The nuclear sage brush are heading your way.. woooooo.... 


And.. my favorite animal of the night. Okay not an animal but damn cute. Number 14 is my favorite. A hoot!


I trust that whoever did this to their dog did not sleep that night. Those eyes!!!!
