Might not be the best weather for Jesse’s first night camping beyond our front yard but this is a beautiful spot with nice twisty roads coming in. This is a test run for our 6k Mile road trip in June. #georgewashingtonandjeffersonnationalforest

Can a station wagon be a midlife crisis sportscar if it has 600hp? After almost a month under the knife erasing the evidence of it’s early years on the mean streets of NYC it’s finally ready.

#tbt One year ago was our last day at La Batterie Villa in Saint Lucia. One of the greatest #Airbnb houses we’ve rented. Anyone going to Saint Lucia should try to rent this place. Room for 3 or 4 couples, fully staffed, amazing views, right down the ‘road’ from #jademountainresort. We’ll definitely go back there again in a few years. #stlucia #labatterievilla #jademountain @labatterie.saintlucia

@benzblogger can’t park in the middle of the garage anymore because it’s officially hammer time! #hammerwagon #e63wagon

I spent the morning unloading 48 tons of landscape rocks off two semis from Tennessee then shuttling them .5 miles up to the house with this 4wd forklift I rented. Time to get to work on a bunch retaining walls and water features #gardentour2020

#tbt #roadtrip2016 – Dom Luis I Bridge – Porto, Portugal. The architect of this #bridge was a former business partner of Gustave Eiffel (of the tower) and it is very similar to an earlier bridge in #Porto that was designed by #Eiffel.

Rainy afternoon in the workshop. Granite surface plate under its protective cover. Fired up my new 2400 degree @evenheatkilns oven. Now to install the drive on the @tormach 1100 for the new 8 inch tilting 4th axis. #heattreatment #evenheat #KO22.5 #surfaceplate #metrology #tormachmill #instamachinist

Just a dash of danger for Saturday night. Winching a 1200lb granite slab off its pallet. #surfaceplate #metrology #instamachinist

If you love something, take it apart. If it works when you put it back together then it’s probably still indifferent to your existence but you might save a couple grand on a new laptop. #holdmygroundstrap #laptopsurgery #dellxps15 #keyboardswap

Davos is best known for the World Economic Forum this week, but if you love to drive it’s really just where you turn left to get to the Stelvio Pass. #MakeAmericaFastAgain #Roadtrip2014 #stelviopass #mercedes #S550

Heading home with my new surface grinder. I’ve been looking for a heavier full manual one to convert to 3 axis cnc and this one seems to be perfect since the shafts for the x,y,z axis handles are accessible from under the front edge. It’s a 12 inch wheel with 6×18 capacity. I’ll throw some clearpath servos on and make her dance soon.

It’s not what I made the trip for but I would have taken this #radialdrill home as an art piece if I had brought my bigger truck and trailer. It’s about 8 ft tall and weight guesses were around 3 tons. Probably too heavy for the floor in my living room.

Memories of a past snow day in #Atlanta. I was going for closer to a 180 degree spin but I came up a little short. During a 2014 storm I made it most of the way up this icy hill to find the top had been blocked. I lost momentum so instead of sliding back into a busy, blind intersection I went for the #jturn. I did clip the sign on the right with the back passenger side but it buffed out.
