Leslie's Architecture Thesis
"Here are some images of the last model I finished. The form of the building will stay pretty close to thi.s The latest issues have to do with the stays used to support the roof of the bridge and how the structure of the bridge can be used to enhance the thesis concept. The color of the floor plates are also used to emphasize the thesis concept." - Leslie View Model Pix

Quad - by Rob Dimino
Quick story to get my brain, finger and eye coordination going b/f a day of work. This pic was taken after I tried barrelling through a snow bank on my quad when a stump (from a tree I cut down) wedged under the chassis. I tried for over an hour to get this thing out. Not until after 2 broken tow straps and a sore back and some "offers of help" from Karli did I realize this trunk had wedged it's way under the engine making it impossible to get off by pushing, pulling or lifting....that's when I had the incredible brain storm of using my truck jack....the next day. Thing sat out overnight in this snow bank b/c it was Super Bowl Sunday and I was not about to forfeit the game of the year just to make a wrong situation right...come on!! Got it out the next day with not too much trouble...pure entertainment for people driving by who had seen the bike stuck the night before...snickers & grins could be seen from the neighbors...
