It’s Jigsaw puzzle time during isolation

For this one we dug out a nearly 40 year old Springbok puzzle showing an old CocCola advertisement titled “An old fashioned Girl”

We bought this puzzle at a Hallmark store in 1981 when Springbok made really good puzzles.

The box lid is shown here

A report on the Internet said this puzzle was released in 1980.

Magazine article in the August 1981 issue of Model Airplane News by Perry Peterson

From 1981 until 1994 I wrote 15 articles that were published in 4 different magazines: Model Airplane News, Model Builder, Model Aviation and Flying Models.

They were construction articles that involved drawing the plans, building and flying the plane, taking photos during the entire process followed by writing the article.

The text was written on an old Radio Shack computer using a word possessor called Webster’s New World Writer then copied to a 5 1/4“ floppy disk in ASCII format. This was shipped to the Magazine Editor along with 6 bw glossy photos and an Ozalid (dyeline paper, blueprint) copy of the plans rolled up in a tube.

The plans and most of the article text can be found here.

Tiered snowman DIY project

This was cut from pine with a scroll saw. The inside cuts must be made with the blade at a very slight angle to allow for the pieces to be wedged in place for a tight assembly.

I made about two dozen of them several years ago. Wish I could still make them.

Conservative street artist Sabo strikes in Adam Schiff's district

Conservative street artist Sabo has struck again, this time in Adam Schiff’s district. On Wednesday, the first day of the public impeachment hearings, Sabo targeted Schiff’s district with posters mocking the Showtime program “Shameless” whose tenth season premiered this week.

This is not the first time Sabo has targeted Schiff. “I had posted some images of Adam Schiff earlier that had been torn down since.”

Those postered Adam Schiff in white briefs partying with Democrat donor Ed Buck, who has generated some controversy of his own after two of his "friends" died from drug overdoses in his apartment—in Schiff’s district. Buck was finally arrested in September.

The Cash Register Building in Denver, Colorado

Wells Fargo Center is a building located in Denver. It is known locally as the "Cash Register Building" for the way its uppermost floors curve together resembling the shape of an antique cash register. At 52 stories tall, it is 698 feet high and the third tallest building in Denver.

The building is structurally shorter than two other buildings in the city, however, its foundation is situated at a higher elevation than theirs, so its rooftop is the highest relative to any other building in Denver.

The building was completed in 1983. A heated roof is necessary to prevent snow from accumulating and sliding dangerously off the curved crown.

The building has its own unique zip code, 80274.
