Patio's projects

[Patio]

Just as a quick update, I am still kicking!
I did make it to Alaska, the Artic Circle, peed in the Yukon river, and visited the 577 Locomotive. I have pics and video of all of it, just haven't spent any time messing with it, to post here. I am off to Hawaii, on a One-way ticket, cause I don't know how long I want to be gone.
I did buy a 3D printer and have been learning it's operation. It has been great for proto type building, on projects that I am into, at the moment.
I will try to post some pics of the projects when I get back for Hawaii.
Take care of each other. We are all we have!

Pics of you peeing in the Yukon?

Harold: does the board allow that?

Depends. Full on frontal views could be looked upon with question, but a full back view just might pass.

Reminds me of a painting named Yellow Waterfall painted by Ipee Standing.

As an afterthought---I wonder how many salmon succumbed to Patio's gesture!

Edit: Susan and I paid a visit to Patio to return a book he loaned us. I was shown his projects with his 3D printer. Pretty neat stuff!

Hi Pat,I just tuned in on this thread; good to hear you are doing fine. What a great trip. I've been telling myself for over 30 years I should go to Alaska. Maybe some day.

Well we will see if this passes Harold's review.
This picture is of the Yukon river, on the north side, Hwy 11 (Dalton Highway).

I was raised in Fairbanks from the age of 2 until the beginning of high school. When I was about 8 years of age, I made a trip the the Yukon river at Circle city. My brother and I were told to go pee in the Yukon, so we did. On our vacation we took a tour bus across the Yukon river, to the Artic Circle. I told our tour guide about my intentions to pee on the north side of the river and my past adventure doing so on the south side. It was at the time that I learned a bit more about this act. It is one of three parts to become a "Sourdough". The other two are to kill a bear and sleep with a native. One out of two will have to do for now.

Off to a warmer climate for a bit. Hawaii, here I come!

Well, I suppose it could be worse, in which you have to sleep with a bear and kill a native.

Or sleep with a bare native

Worse things could happen...

Cannot say ..never seen natives and may not have sufficient supply of bags on hand
