I use to love visiting my family in rural spain. The despatching and processing of the pig in the loft was a family event. Nothing wasted. Brilliant! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Engineer99 Posted August 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2018 On a break while loading in Panic! At The Disco the other morning at the arena in San Jose. 17 trucks worth of lights, video, sound, stage, and other miscellany. Sound, lights and video get assembled and flown in place while the stage is being built on the other side of the arena and eventually rolled in place under all the other stuff. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love watching people put together all of the stage and lighting and of course the musical equipment... Even better are the guys n gals who hang from the beams adjusting it all in the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better are the guys n gals who hang from the beams adjusting it all in the air These big tours have everything all mapped during rehearsals...Hang points for lighting truss, PA hangs, automated elements, and video walls are mapped out and marked on the floor of the arena where guys on the ground prep the chain motors and steel for the riggers up in the girders to haul up and secure. Everything comes off the trucks in a certain order and is packed to set up and strike quickly. For this particular show, it took the road crew and about 90 stagehands 6 hours to put it all together and for the strike at the end of the night, about 120 stagehands and 3 hours to take it all down and put it back in the trucks.

Islandboy Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Spent the week drinking beer with the boys in Oregon....and doing a bit of mountain biking. That’s me second from right. The main attraction was Mountain Bike Oregon, an annual festival in Oakridge that combines hard-core riding with a beer garden. What’s not to like there. Our arrival at MBO. And...the always entertaining mini-bike races in the beer garden. Made it through the week unscathed, exhausted and revitalized. A celebratory cigar tonight. On the road to Calgary tomorrow. Cheers!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaclub Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 My son loves catching bugs. He is like a fisherman, catch one and release. He will keep it in his mesh bug home for a day, feed him, then let him go. Here are a few shots before he let him go. He called him “flage”, short for camouflage.

Popular Post JohnS Posted August 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2018 My Mum's surprise 70th birthday party today! It was outdoors and it was cold (16°C or 60°F, but the wind chill factor made it feel colder and I was rugged up with a jumper underneath my woollen jacket) yet it was lovely to spend time with our extended family. The barbecue was great! 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubadust Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Gameday. BP away, game 18 out of 30. The streak continues, 12 wins, 6 draws this season and we haven’t lost a game in the league since august 16 last year, that’s 30 games in a row now. But it’s still tight in the top and much can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t believe we all got old! Love these guys. Some of us had not seen each other in 20 years and it felt like only a day had passed. Brilliant! I have 2 mates from grade school that I see when schedules work out. They have been there for me in the lowest of times and the best of times. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wilzc Posted August 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2018 Paticipated in my first ever long ash competition.... possibly also my last ever. This isn’t what cigars are made todo hahaha! Event was hosted by Cigar Journal’s Samuel Spurr and LCDH Kuala Lumpur. The last 3rd was horrible. T’was ashy and incredibly hot to smoke! Lips were burning and so were my fingers! Somehow, managed to pull through and won! Lmao. Yes I took up quite the advantageous set up! Haha! With my beautiful partner spotting on me, telling me when the wrappers are lit and when they’re not (to add more consecutive puffs until they do). Very very important in the final 3rd.

Popular Post SigmundChurchill Posted August 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2018 Out at the beach with the family this week, which typically involves surfing and golf, and more golf and surfing. Out to dinner in Montauk... It was such a beautiful day, people were taking out their classic cars. The lot at the golf club was full of them. I quickly snapped a couple of pics. I love old pickup trucks. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
