Here's are descriptions with each photo somewhere. Apparently, there are many arcane rules to follows detailed in runs too old for my eye to decipher.

I assume the roof comes off?
You eat Cadillacs; Lincolns too... Mercurys and Subarus.

There's the interior of the truss and brass roofing designs supplied http://www.backyardobservatories.com/ excelet designs and parts

Her'es the roof rolling off. I use a split design to keep the 'warm/col room' habitable all year around, Also notice the use ff the exsiting shed to provide excellet load bearing capacity for zippo!

You need to hook up a music box that plays the Thunderbirds theme as the roof rolls away. :lol:

The woodwork reminds me of a Finnish sauna. I like it.

Looks like you can spend some quality time there.
Now this is a deep dark secret, so everybody keep it quiet :)
It turns out that when reset, the WD33C93 defaults to a SCSI ID of 0, and it was simpler to leave it that way... -- Dave Olson, in comp.sys.sgi

I expect the spent quantity * time in the too :-) unfortunately the 'gear-ist' in me had been whiling many an hour; preferably at night when even the insulated room gets hot too. Even in the speediest futesdt an AC in my immediate future!


* - has the italicist returned?

Heavens no fu-man-chu! I try to spend equal time in either endevor. they're both endless fun; not to forget the Volvo, its got just a ton more improvements lined for this coming week; rear struct tower braces, front * and back undercarriage. plus a progressive water/methane injection system for the twin-turbo. then a bunch of cracked plastic cosmetics for next years grand paint job :-) What I really need is a competent tuner who can do custom tuners for the ME7 ECU. If they exist at all, they'e on the west coast or in sweden.


* - lost a ton of typingt here

there are so many classic volvo bodies i would so rather have; the low slung 60's-70's wagon verision is what i liked the bes. Instead I have a car the is conformable and has the enhanced road performance I can safely. It's the only twin-turb fielded, nad the seriously underestimated torque the tranny would need. the need to pop early; but that's ok, there are GM Tranny rebuilders that can put this 4T65EV-GT tranny together in strip condition. The S80 might have been an exec class car, but when these things hit +10 years, they become interesting to work on. Th is not my Dad's Volvo, shit it ain't my Son's Volvo!

Yup, looks very much like it, excepting the beautiful floor.

The ceiling is just bonkers though! :shock:

That would be awesome! My originally declared major was astrophysics, I later came to my senses and changed it to "just" physics but naturally I'm still all about the night sky... 8-)
