Ha ha how weird do we all look taking pics of mods in public?
I was thinking just that while at cracker barrel.
I like that chomped pic
when I saw that I thought HELL YEAH. I could have gone crazy in that place = but all the people watching.
Upturned oak tree from a walk in the woods. Phone pic.
Looks like Hostas to me
Taken with my s9. Pico Squeeze 2 hiding in the ivy growing up the fence. I love my vapes and I love plants so its only natural for me to find different ways of putting them together. It was difficult finding a place where the ivy would support a vape but where there's a will there's a way.
Looks like an arrowhead plant. Thereare a few varieties.
Sat my Underground SQK clone next to a Dos Equis beer and thought they looked nice together with the new hot sauce I got. (It's basically a black soy sauce with chile de arbol in it. Fun stuff.)
Taken with my 'ol 2013 Moto X.
I know, Pinoy ain't Mexi, but the artistic styles are similar IMO.

That first pic is nice. The blue of the mod is similar enough to the lathe to visually rhyme, yet contrast. Clever design
KingPin!
In my defence, I was left unsupervised ^^

Taken with my s9. I don't know the name of this plant but the color matched my Drag 2 close enough that I had to take a picture of them together . For the record I went around my parents neighborhood asking permission to take pictures of their plants/flowers with my vapes. Boy did I feel strange!
Heehee, I was having a convo about food/health stuffs in another thread.
Had the thought to weigh-in on my vintage Timex SC-1 digital scale I got the other day at thrift.
It's the first bathroom scale I've ever owned.
It cost all of $2 since a 50% off sale was on. Put in a 9v battery and it fired right up.
I don't know much about it, but I'm guessing it's late 70s to mid-80s?? Very nifty old thing.
Shot with my 2013 MotoX, edited on-camera. No FX.

I am soooooo glad you posted something! I was beginning to think they moved the contest to another forum and didn't tell me.Heehee, I was having a convo about food/health stuffs in another thread.

Hehe, you're welcome!
FWIW: I finally found something out about that scale.
Pretty trippy stuff from 1982. (I was right about the era).

This part was especially cool having had a competing product, the TI-99/4A as one of my first computers.
Nice. I love having things with history.

A project pictorial: To fix a dead "subwoofer" speaker.
This was tossed by a neighbor, figured I could fix it.
First thing was to pull out the DMM and check it for continuity and resistance. It Ohm'd out ok, so that was good. But, I heard something rattling around in there...ah..damn kids...
It's cheap RCA HTIB shit, all glued up particle board and plastic, but I found an entry point. Snapped off the speaker 'cover' with a stout knife and then could unscrew the speaker itself. Yuppers, the dome had been pushed in and a foreign object had been pushed down the bass tube. Yay...SMH.
The creepy offending object with MiniVolt mod and Mini Vengence tank for scale.
Weird little toy thing, it's really heavy plastic for it's size. Wonder if it has lead paint? Eeep.
Used a small safety pin to carefully pull out the cone, then some glue stick to fill the pinhole and strengthen the smooshed cone somewhat. Should be fine, this ain't a Hi-Fi bit of kit.
I'll let the glue dry awhile and test it later.
*EDIT*
It works! Using as a bassy-ish center channel for my LR stereo.
A crappy recording with the main speakers turned off, using the FM tuner, and via cell phone.
I'm pleased it works.

Heck it even seals gas tanks
I like to use Seal-all for such things.

Ya, but it wouldn't work too well on a paper speaker cone.
