The C-17 "T-1" pictured on a test flight over Owens Valley, California on 22 March 2017

T-1 was the first Boeing C-17 Globemaster III prototype, delivered in 1991 for developmental flight testing and aeronautical research at Edwards Air Force Base. T-1 was used to validate the design, set payload records, and later appeared in films like Iron Man and Transformers before retiring to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in 2012.

Getting into building Chesapeake & Ohio stuff, here is the T-1 class 2-10-4 No. 3000, the lead locomotive of the class. Credit goes to CraftyFoxe for the original C&O Kanawha and PM N-1 designs.

The terminator series is fantastic. It also shows the ways that society and humans keep getting it wrong over and over. Yes the technology and actions of Skynet have been harmful to human beings. It can be said though, the flaws, mistakes and seeming inevitability of Skynet being created and going rogue is a human problem. Rather than human kind changing they kept trying to stop Skynet.

Or rather than seeing cybernetic organisms actions are hostile, view it as an evolving race, highly detached thought processing/decision making and at some point, self defense and retaliation. This idea that organisms that do not act in the ways we expect or try to influence are an issue and threat, is an issue in and of itself.

And terminator is a manifestation of the fears humans have of advanced technology, and that it will take on the worst tendencies of human beings.

Here he is my boy, T-1. I cleaned up his design a bit and also gave you guys a look at his hair.

Rambuten

A tiny tumbleweed...maybe.  A part of my healthy eating plan...definitely.  This fruit is related to lychee but with a brown curly “hair” outer layer that peels off easily.  Just peel the outer layer off to the soft inner fruit, then eat around the large softer pit inside.  The flesh is sweet and tender like a peeled green grape.  These were in the produce department of my local grocers, so no exotic shopping forays.  Go ahead and give these a try some time.  Just seeing them stacked on the kitchen counter next to the apples and onions made me smile as they offered variety to the scenery there.  See what you think...

When I’m not exploring the more unusual offerings in the produce department of my local grocer’s, I’m sewing cotton pocket wrap around aprons for my online shops - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads and www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads .

Or I’m merrily knitting stocking caps using double and triple strands of yarn from upcycled recycled yarn for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers for kicking up your heels in.

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she works upcycled recycled yarns into brightly rainbow striped afghans and throws.

My younger daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/shroombloombags - where she crochets upcycled recycled yarns into funky mushroom inspired shoulder bags.
