This is one of two clocks I made for Christmas sometime between 5th and 8th grade. One in the shape of our beagle Duke went to my sister C; this one went to K. I drew the designs myself, which is a miracle because I can't draw worth a damn. I cut them out on a band saw, painted and varnished them, and installed the clock mechanisms (which never worked very well).
These next two are pictures of my childhood bike, a Schwinn Stingray II in green and gold. I picked it out because it reminded me of the Green Bay Packers.
This next one is current, a shot of a do-it-yourself DVD vending machine in a local store. They've popped up here and there, and they remind me of a clunky Beta (?) video vending machine from the Sun Foods of my youth.
Here's Smiley at the rummage sale:

and the prettiest pic for last. The beautiful Lump:
I wanted a green bike when I was a kid... so I took some green paint to my bike. I didn't know then that you couldn't use wall paint on metal...LOL.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. The clock is priceless, no really, I am sure priceless. Hard to believe your childhood bike was still around.
