Cooler Crew Pictures

funny... I wonder who did that.

who's "buck's crew"?

Here's some shots of the new power lines going up over the Hwy 52 Lafayette Bridge yesterday. Pretty cool watching them work. Ugly idea though.

Here's when they closed down the bridge to string the lines across it last night about 2:30am. I've been wanting to stop on that bridge for years. I instantly got out and started taking pictures. Most didn't turn out as it was -10 and windy up there and I was shaking. Very fun to do anyway.

Being lucky enough to be stopped on the bridge finally allowed me to try and get a few shots that I've always wanted.

I've never seen shots of downtown from this angle and have always wanted to be the first to get them. I love this place

And three more from yesterday's cold cold morning

Cool Pics!

Hey, I used to live in one of those!

Its like I made a postcard for you all centered and stuff. Thanks for taking us through there last summer dude. We'll be looking at you while digging tomorrow :smile:

I don't exactly love the idea of driving under high-voltage power lines every day to work and back :ooh: :frown:

Me neither!!! I've *never* like driving over bridges to begin with (the 35W collapse did NOT help) anyway....now I'll be nervous about what's above AND below me when I take 52.

I think they're preparing for the construction that is to take place this summer

Normally I don't post messages about my health, but this visual kind of explains it...

My Condition

You have albino frogs in your wiener?

I didn't take it, but one of my co-workers spouse submitted this to the local paper. it's about 30 miles up the hill from my work, yesterday afternoon.

Doesn't really seem like California, especially since I was wearing shorts in the 70's last week. But slushie rain drops and a high of 41 today..

A couple more for Brass' Facebook album....

Love em all!

I got to hold/see another Medallion this evening.

Awesome!! :cool: I got to be where that was originally handed out :smile:

Was it heavy or cheap feeling?

It was really heavy, solid silver. Which actually is a little cooler than the gold medals, which are just gold plated (probably because of cost and gold is a soft metal).

Here's the athlete it belongs to.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gisele_Marvin

Obviously it was the silver medal for womens hockey.

Very cool indeed. That's nice that she lets people just hold it. I know it's the same thing with the medallion. Neat

I've only heard her referred to as Gigi Marvin. Had no idea her name was actually Gisele.

Yeah I didn't know that either till I looked it up.

Nice person, a very committed athlete. She's a cousin of someone from my church, hence how she showed up last night for a kids program.

Yeah it was kind of weird, she was very mellow about her medal, in fact her cousin was the one carrying it around mostly. I think she downplayed it some as I got the impression it wasn't about winning a medal, but having a passion for something. Heck when she left she was going home to catch the score on a game of hockey her brother was playing.

Oh, interesting fact I found out, the US Olympic athletes we basically given a clothing store to go and outfit themselves for the olympics (the major rule of course being they had to wear only these clothes because of sponsors), but essentially they all got way more clothing than they could use. Apparently GiGi went home from the 2010 games with 10 extra suitcases of clothes that got passed around for family and friends.

that is beautiful

thats way cool!

For Cluey's Facebook.... from 2011 Winter Carnival snow sculptures...

Thanks but that's I Love You not the devils horns. Big difference a thumb makes. :sheepish:

You're such a softy for the classics.

I beg to differ :sheepish: :sillygrin:

Our Mom - her humor lives on... cute idea!

Funny

I'd like my funeral to start 17 minutes late kinda like Liz Taylor did. Need to stay consistent till the very end.

<----------- is not sure 17 minutes would be enough for you.

Me either! 30 to 45 minutes would be more fitting...or an hour or two. :wink:

Booya! Good point tho. That may be the one time I should try to be late instead of it just happening that way. :eyeroll: :neutral:

Just make sure the glass is clean on the drive-thru viewer when we motor by...

Just finished taking this a few minutes ago. Fun watching the makings of a nice day from a crappy beginning.

I found this timelapse nugget after my video ended. Ali and I were here in Vancouver last summer. Beautiful city. Especially when viewed like this.
