Most of the pix are eye-catching and the content is obvious. Some are a little confusing, some on the forum might like the image source, identity of the people in the image, that sort of thing.

Please, no images, just the Picture number and details if you think it might not be obvious. For example, some of the newer forum members or newbies to rocketry might think of #86 "What's the big deal, oldguy holding a rocket?";)

#114: Me and my absolutely-stunning** then-teenage daughter, April, making ice cream in 60 seconds with liquid nitrogen about 15 years ago, for my Gen Chem class. I did the same for April for her high school class, and as soon as the fog started coming out, the teacher shouted "I'm suspending the rule about no phones!" :) Twenty-seven kids stood up and 27 phones appeared a few seconds later.

And it's awfully hard to choose, but so far my favorite is #109. For obvious reasons.

**I know from looking in the mirror that she got most of it from her mother.😁 Thanks be to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, rAmen.
 
Truly useless information.
I like concept cars, it’s sad what happens to them on the way to the assembly line.
Favorite Euro concept is the Peugeot Asphalte. Not practical but so cool.

My other little collection 1/1000 scale ww2 battleships. they are diecast and plastic highly detailed but not 100% accurate but I like them since my grandfather was the master electrician at cramps/philadelphia naval yard during WW2 and worked on at least 2 of them. Amazing things for being made with no digital electronics and almost 100% accurate with the analog battle computers (the US Iowa Class at least)
here are the ships in order if anyone was wondering
Bismarck, IJN Yamato, IJN Musashi, USS Iowa, USS New Jersey, USS Missouri, USS South Dakota, USS Massachusetts, USS Alabama, USS Washington, USS North Carolina. No Tirpitz, Wisconsin or Indiana to complete the classes sadly. and yeah, amazingly aside from color, each one is different with AA/secondary gun layouts (although my friend who is the curator of the New Jersey Battleship museum says the NJ model here isn't accurate for the year and it's a recolor of the missouri) I'll still proudly display these ladies. The camo is awesome and accurate for war time ww2. I do wish this company made some british, french or italian last of the run battleships.

Busted bridge

That looks like one of the bridges over Kentucky Lake, or Lake Barkley, a few years ago. A barge took out a section of the bridge, and students who commuted to Murray State from Cadiz had to take a detour. Trip went from about 45 miles to over 130 miles.

It was a shame that they couldn't just tear the thing down and build new. Probably the money hadn't been appropriated or something. They (expensively) repaired the bridge, then tore it down and built new just a couple years later.

Wife works at Land Between the Lakes---name is self-explanatory.
 
Sorry for the boik overload, but there were so many I couldn't resist!

I've been having these crazy ideas again about finding another old two-smoke race bike and going to run it at track days and maybe the occasional vintage race. Should probably be talked out of it...

(Not that it has ever worked before!)

How about I talk you into it? Then you have someone to blame.

the bikes you posted up pictures of will kill you within the first lap :eek:

Well, maybe not the FIRST lap, I have quite a bit more experience than that (even with often impudent two strokes)! 🤠 Those pics were just the result of my failing to resist the temptations of internet motorcycle porn...

I was thinking more along the lines of a 70s era Kawi KR250, Yamaha TZ250, something like that. I have even thought about getting a 70s-80s era Kawazukondamaha 500-750 and building another vintage style tracker from that.

It's all just window shopping for now...
...but I do have a inside line on a Yamaha RD350 racer coming up for sale in March or so. 😎

Just sayin'...

Kenny had some things to say about the TZ750 flat tracker…

The RD350 sounds good. They respond well to mods. #askhowiknow
