The Second Line. As usual I can't say I understand it, but it is fun being a fly for a while.
From BuckWheat Acres here's a little slide show on their goat cheese manufacturing setup along with some happy goat pics.
Cool button sized micro engine/generator that produces up to 20 watts of power:
The Little Engine That Could Be. But 2.4 million RPM??? Jeezum. Think about it. The second hand on a clock does 1 rpm, your car typically idles at 1,000 rpm and cruises at about 3 or 4 thousand rpm, the hard drive in your computer spins at 5,400 or 7,200 unless you shell out extra bucks for a high speed 10,000 rpm drive. A totally useless perspective: if the second hand of your watch started spinning 2.4 million rotations per minute your watch would be gaining 1,666 days per minute, or about a month per second.
More fun with the digi camera this morning. Check out this treetrunk alongside the road. It's probably been backed into a few too many times and when I flipped the picture upside down there was a face of sorts...ok, maybe a face spawned from the darkest depths of Mordor.
Or, maybe, they make old barns like this out of pre-tortured wood?
A little later Zeke had his head poking into a culvert and I got to wondering if some animal might be hiding out inside. Rather than stick my own head into the culvert I let the camera do the looking for me...nope, no skunks in here.
Garfield's Smokehouse is just down the road from us and makes a wonderful smoked cheese. Besides just eating with crackers or apples, the rind on the ends is good to dice up finely and put into a pot of homemade potato-leek soup.
