I checked with the other physicists and if our calculations are correct Elon Musk’s skin is now the thinnest substance known to science.
I hate to admit, but I've never built or flown the timeless Estes Big Bertha. I had a set of fins from a Baby Bertha and all the other parts I needed to get very close to the original (but not quite). So, here's the Biggish Berthaish. #rocketry #modelrockets
Another table done. Just a basic sofa table. Rough cut from an ash tree I had to take down in our backyard. Ran through the planer a bit and then cut into pieces to make this. Relatively square and stuff, but not meant to be perfect. Crappy light from the bulbs in here...maybe will get some more pics in weekend sunlight. #woodworking

My Goroka Sing Sing Series

See Photo 1 of 6 for a description of the Sing Sing.
Every year, about 100 of PNG’s tribes gather to compete in dancing, singing, and drumming. I photographed this event a few years ago, and it remains one of the most mind-blowing displays of humanity I’ve ever seen and in the top three of the most remote places I've traveled. Each tribe dances into the festival grounds wearing an incredible variety of costumes made from feathers, fur, shells, their faces often painted in elaborate make up. Each tribe having its own amazing costume
Although the festival has become well-known, I would guess that less than100 tourists were present to witness this incredible event. It’s hard to describe the intensity of the singing and visual impact it has when you first see each tribe enter.
Prior to the start of the festival, I was in a handful of tourists that was taken to view the make-up and costume preparation of the Hagan Tribe, which had some of the most elaborate feathers and even bird wings in their head dresses (see photos 2, 3)
If you have questions about how to visit Goroka, let me know. It's a difficult place to get to, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Doing some cleaning in my shop and found this old keepsake. This is what happens to an Eggbeater when it meets an immovable rock at ludicrous speed. #cycling #MTB #BikeTooter

#waterfallwednesday is a thing?! Cool! Enjoying all the photos in this tag! Here's a few. One from Shenandoah National Park, another two from the White Mountains in NH. Taken during our summer road trips where we hike excessively.
I'm officially done with surveys. All those that have asked from every place I've done business with or whatever; you've used up my survey supply. Figure shit out on your own.

The #AuroraChasers were out and about in #FairbanksAK last night.
Square foam board version of an Estes Big Daddy is ready for finishing and paint. Already looks so goofy! #rocketry #modelrockets
