When I abruptly moved into the parents' house, 5 years ago, I found that even I had gotten more solitude than I wanted or needed from COVID, but it was really kind of great for a couple of months. I felt a bit guilty about enjoying it, but honestly, I did enjoy it. The transition was abrupt: I went from being alone basically all the time, with just a couple of people in my "pod" as some called it. to being with people all day every day. I went from having no one to please or take care of but myself to having two elderly people with dementia (Mom's was still mild) to supervise. There were times that I wished to be back in my fortress of solitude, to be sure, but it was also deeply fulfilling, and it made me realize how lonely I had become.

I was a hermit for four years, sometimes going weeks without speaking (except pleasantries when I shopped). It was hard to give up.

Having had a hermit career, working in a remote or solo situation for most of the past 25 years, speaking only for myself here, solitude sucks. I live for collaboration of any kind.

Gluing metal

No alt provided
alt text
Yesterday I spent the afternoon at a friend's studio documenting an absolutely massive build he's working on. Here he is welding one of many frame sections. That radius is 1/4 of one section. I believe there's 4-6 sections.

I was careful to frame the shots before he started welding and then used the camera body to shield my eyes. He has very good rhythm so every time he'd pause I'd check the framing quickly and then shield again. I wasn't sure how the film would handle the light. Thankfully I was using an SLR with a metal shutter, so the mirror and shutter curtain were safe. I know Leicas can get burn holes in the fabric shutter curtain if you're not careful with direct sunlight. Not sure about welding arcs.

Camera nerdery: Minolta XD-11, likely the 45mm f2, and either Kentmere 400 or Tri-X pushed to 1600 (this is probably the Kentmere).

a young person takes a photo of the red-and-gold-painted console of a pipe organ in the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, AZ
"The massive red‑and‑gold console of the Chicago Stadium pipe organ now sits in MIM’s United States / Canada Gallery with six manuals and 800 stop tabs. ... Installed at Chicago Stadium in 1929, the organ was the first of its kind in a sports venue."

I absolutely heard this thing in action at the Barnum & Bailey Circus at Chicago Stadium when I was a kid.

"The instrument, which provided the soundtrack for many opening faceoffs and tips, was the largest built by the Maxcy‑Barton Organ Co. The behemoth cost $250,000 in 1929 dollars, nearly $5 million today."


The Musical Instrument Museum is fully worth the visit if you're ever in Phoenix.

...Windsor is literally across the river from Detroit and might be the center of Canadian auto manufacture (it was at one time, dunno if it still is), so the location for the startup isn't that weird.

That design tho... It's like a 3D rendering of one of those gestural, cartoonish googie-style magazine illustrations from the period, rather than something designed and built by people with experience making cars.

It looks like a car that cows would drive in a Gary Larson cartoon.

@ardgedee yup, we made a lot of engines and transmissions in Windsor (aka South Detroit). Not sure how it's doing under fuckhead's trade war, but there are a lot of US-made cars that won't be built if Windsor shuts down

A cyclist on a gravel road at dawn with a misty river in the distance
I am visiting Minnesota for a week. Yesterday was the culmination of my year-long bicycle training and my brother and I rode The DAMn - the day across Minnesota gravel bike race. Starting on the South Dakota border at midnight, Aug 1st we had 24 hours to get across the Wisconsin border on a set course consisting of 80% gravel roads through river bottoms and expansive ag fields.

DAMn that's some serious riding, hope it all went smoothly and you're getting some good rest today. I've done many gravel rides, but the longest was just over half of the DAMn, and nothing at all recently. I'm out for a much shorter and easier ride around Mpls today.
samh pro 3 days ago
It was awesome getting to explore a part of MN that I've not really spent much time in, @wjcstp. The Minnesota River valley is gorgeous and I had the pleasure of being down in there at misty sunrise. And your bicycling community eats sleeps and breathes "Minnesota Nice" really well. Didn't hurt they offer up a cold pint of Spotted Cow at the finish line too.

I had to look it up... the 2024 event was 240 miles long. So, an average of 10 mph for 24 hours.
