Birthday Bikepacking Trip
alt text
A forest service cabin on the USFS rental program surrounded by a grassy area in the foreground, then a forest of lodgepole pine in the background. The cabin in located on the Kootenai National Forest in NW Montana. My bicycle is leaning against the cabin in the porch.
I rode 76 miles out to this cabin last weekend for my birthday. This is Fairview Ranger Station in one of the lesser traveled areas of NW Montana. The route takes ALL the backroads to get here and back and has somewhat of a railroad theme, including following the bits and pieces of original alignment of the Great Northern RR, now converted to rails to trails and just actual roads. Day 2 was 84 mi and mirrors a good part of the later/current realignment, as well as following the Old Fort Steele Trail, which is a pretty rough and tumble jeep track. I'm happy to say that I'm still able to pull off this overly ambitious route at 54, although I'm definitely still feeling it mid-week.

an enormous three-masted, triple-jib sailing yacht plies a calm ocean
Apparently Jeff Bezos doesn't want it any more because it's too big: https://www.yacht.de/en...
This nauseates me so severely that I had to create a new SHK just to contain it.
Please join the tomato-throwing rabble of your fellow poors at https://mltshp.com/eattherich and add your own exemplars of wretched excess.
Edit: to be honest, I couldn't believe this SHK didn't already exist.

Does it come with garlic sauce? It covers for a lot of poor quality meats.
Everyone tried to tell him it was too big.

A Lord of the Rings meme. Galadriel says, "You have seen Sauron." Frodo replies, "Yes." They each look at each other silently, then Galadriel says, "He's weirdly sexy, right?" and Frodo responds, "Oh my god. Thank you. Yes. I thought I was the only one."

OP, with Rickenbacker bass, and bandmate, on stage maybe 1984 or so
I wasn't fat! I had hair! The Rickenbacker wasn't trashed yet!(I still have it and want to renovate it - all I need is "keywinds" as they call the tuning machines, in. Rick-o-Land.
With the scratches and the hole in the middle and the fading this looks like a photo from 1870
So I'd say you're very sprightly. Hair or no.

The image is an artistic rendering of a bicycle, where two rolls of masking tape exist as the wheels and one of the rules of masking tape has some tape coming out of it, forming the front fork of the bicycle, and the rest of the bicycle is painted in white on a black background.
That's so well done.
@poorusher If I was in front of the actual art, I would be there for hours.

When I was young I used to love these magazines from second-tier publishers or for professional specialties because the covers were always fascinating to stare at. Then I'd open them up and the contents were usually bollocks to a little kid who could barely read. Still ended up setting me on my life's path, though.
Oh man, this is so good
How was an illustration like this accomplished in 1966? Rulers, ink, and color separations, I presume?

70s sci-fi spaceship art featuring a large fiery plume trailing behind a space ship. In the background are moons and a planet and another spaceship.
TIL The name of the artist (John Berkey) that created the cover for one of my favorite library books growing up. https://archive.org/details...

this was in my elementary school's library AND my public library so i checked it out as often as i could. one of my favorite things as a child. i especially loved all the wild depictions of what life could be like on other planets in the solar system
I have this on my bookshelf at work and I love it so much
I had this as a kid and someone awesome gave me a copy a few years back. I love this book.

Seven plates of different sizes Fotograaf from above. On the plates there’s lots of dried out acrylic and watercolor paint in many Colours.
(Why clean a plate when you can just grab a new one?)

Weird that tumblr is saying it's disappeared. I recall seeing it often. Wonder if this is a reblog.

central part of an old Canadian 20 dollar bill with complex engraved patterns in many colours
Catherine was in the US for a couple of weeks helping her mother make her home more senior-friendly, and a neighbour gave her a couple of old Canadian bills. They're pretty, in a still-thinking-like-a-colony way
This is apparently the reissue of the $20 - they tweaked the color in 1979 to differentiate it further from the $1.
I have a distinct fondness for the lissajous curves of the old Oz $20: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

An abstracted, mostly white spaceship looks a little like a bird, complete with a head-like front portion and several swoops and splashes of bright orange that look like plumage.
Thanks, I didn't know the name of the artist (John Berkey) until you posted this and I followed the link with the credit! The style reminded me of a favorite childhood book, and it turned out to be the same artist: https://mltshp.com/p/1RP86
@ang happy you found his name. I love his artwork.

woman jumping in front of a sculture of a batter swinging
Ketsu bat girl! I guess it was a meme of sorts in 2015.
On first impression, I definitely thought his hands were doing something other than swinging a bat
