Caught the Aurora over the Sangres de Cristo mountains tonight. Not a great pic, but it shows the reddish purple of the high altitude glow (oxygen)

I finally finished this, the b@stard ukulele from hell. Took 4 tries at the fretboard, 2 on the neck. Wired with a piezo pick up and sounds pretty darn good.

Thanks for reminding me of my bestest friend, Aslan. He'd blow out his cruciate ligaments (knees) when this picture was taken. I had to carry him down the stairs from the balcony to the back yard for a year. And worth it, every day. God, I miss him.

So, I took a class on "sinking a metal bowl". Way fun. I think I had more fun "finishing it". Put the bowl in vinegar to put the verdigris on it like I wanted and had a surprise.
Not sure how I managed to get those concentric rings around the lip.

Little girl on her dad's shoulders carrying a sign that said" hands off My future"l." Not shown is her mother carrying a sign that says hands off my present.
