RANDOM PICTURE THREAD - Post ANY of your favorite pictures here to share with Tnet...

In southern CA, several parks I have been to lately have signs saying to stay away from the squirrels as they are carrying the plague!

Relying on his GPS screen instead of Mark-1 Eyeball, he drove it off a cliff. You can see a little bit of the cliff wall behind the tank on the photo's lower left side.

Ooops... or not an Ooops?

Here's another case where close observation of everything that's visible in the photo is important. The major dust-cloud behind the approaching aircraft indicates its engines are thrusting, so it is taking off, not landing. It might shake up the troops on the runway, but it won't even come close to hitting them. (It is a huge heavy-lifter Cargo Jet, whose pilots sit 30 feet above the wheels, so the space between the wheels and the ground indicate it's already about 30 feet in the air.)

Taking down the big ones that no one wants to mess with. 10s of thousands of dollars worth of cuban mahogony here.
 

Black Bart, your real lucky to score that tree. Keep the cuts as long as possible but I'm sure you know that.
The last time I even saw mahogany on a job site was maybe 10 years ago. Front door for a restaurant. Eight quarters thick.
When I built my kitchen I used teak for the sink drainboard and a small bar sink. At the time clear select teak was $13 board foot.
Today it's probably 3 times that.

All the hurricane branches and small to medium wood has been brought to the curb. All the monsterous stuff is starting to be cut and brought roadside. Im saving as much as I can but it sucks to watch so much go to the chipper. Cutting on some monsters right now got three giants going at once right now. Lots of boles/stumps so big got to have cranes get em. Its a long term investment, gonna have to wait a couple years to realize a profit, but boy its gonna be good when it happens. Gonna make a banner cob coin pale in comparison as far as dollars made. This lumber is legit treasure !!
 

Ooops!

The driver of the big truck sits so high up that he cannot see what is close to his truck's wheels.

Ooops -- but I think this one is a Photoshop image. It's again time for "close observation." Please take a moment to do that before continuing to read.

Okay, if you're done, did you spot the clue? The shadows of the loose wheels are wrong. Relative to the SUN'S ANGLE, the wheel shadows are not only in the wrong place, they are drawn incorrectly. The rider's right arm casts a shadow on his left thigh. So the sun is coming from behind the camera and slightly to the camera's left. The loose wheel shadows are in the wrong place. Also, the loose right rear wheel's AXLE-SHAFT has a shadow that is too long, and the wheel's shadow is narrower than the wheel.

Is there even a saw mill in Fla anymore? I had that cherry tree fall in N Ill once but finding a saw mill was a problem. I saw a chain saw portable mill that had planked some oak. Seemed to work out well. Cheap too.
