No pics. We brought the camera and I was supposed to take some but I was busy helping him change music on his music stand and changing the settings of the amp between songs. Michelle took video and it came out somewhat blurry. If I can figure out how to load it, I'll post it.
He wanted a couple songs have more rock & roll sound so I had to man the amp. Jingle bells had a similar sound to this.
awesome

Ski racing clinic was canceled on account of too much snow.
Not really. It was called for severe weather. It's only Brrrrr, not too bad, but we're having a white out blizzard so visibility is nearly zero and there are 30 mph winds blowing straight up the ski hill. Not good conditions for the first day of practice for kids down to age 7.
The cancellation was at the last minute so we were on the hill when we found out. We skied 4 runs and called it quits because it was painful skiing. We are getting a fucking sweet dump of nice snow though so we're pretty happy.
I took some pics. It was so windy that it blew the snow coming out of the snowmaking gun backwards with the gusts.
awesome photos! semlinson is up the hill by himself as i didn't even put my boots on. it is your basic artificial snow wRod with more than half of it roped off for ski teams. they have major congestion as there are teams from three other mountain training plus the canadian junior national team plus a bunch of freestylers including the canada post aerial team. seems we are the only ones with snow.

so on the drive back i figured out how i will make a vent fan for my spray booth. i am going to buy a metal fan with a cowl from a wreckers and hook it to kirsty's grandfather's grinding wheel spindle and old motor and go belt drive. by going belt drive I can put it all out side with a totally separate housing for the motor and if i vent the motor housing with a computer fan I won't need to go buy a sealed motor.
of course i also realized the location that works best in the basement is directly below the kitchen I will have to do it in the garage. I am thinking of buying a small marquee canopy and using shower curtains
now to check out inexpensive spark safe heaters.

Oil filled electric radiators are a good way to go for heat.
You can build a simple frame with 2x4 lumber and cover it with plastic painting ground cloths for your booth.
The hard part is ventilating and heating at the same time. Hard to ventilate enough without cooling it down....

they're good on bagels too, or Norwegian pancakes.
the region of Norway I was in, I didn't see anyone eating Lingonberry's though. Probably because there were fresh blueberrys, raspberrys, bjornebaer, and cloudberry's available.
mmmmm, fresh blueberrys. It seemed like all the berries were moister and better over there. They probably were, since it's pretty moist.
We picked up some cloudberry preserves there, too, but I haven't cracked 'em open yet.
It's definitely not moist here, but my berries haven't dried out yet. My wife keeps them in a jar in the pantry.
Gotta go do survey of tasks to be completed around the house... Santa srplus is making a list and promising completion on some (next year) as special present to .
Finally figured out the best present and that would be to build a storage shed with facilities for Kiln and pottery wheel. Drawing up plans... where is Mars when you need him?
It looks like most people are using simple fans and blowers. Most modern box fans use induction motors which are spark free. It's the switches that make sparks, so you have to turn everything on ahead of time and then leave it all running until danger is gone.
I was just thinking too that heat's not that big a deal if you have a sealed paint booth with negative pressure that is vented with a blower going outside then the rest of your garage has no fumes and you can use any heat source you want to use. I still don't like flame based heat in a garage.
If you build a sealed negative pressure booth you need to have a filtered air input built - just build a frame for a regular furnace filter.

My senior partner's wife is a potter and her studio is a shed attached to their garage with a kiln in it.
Put in lots of windows or sky lights.

unless i sheath the ceiling and insulate, there is no way i can heat the garage effectively and safely on a cost effective basis even temporarily. I have a 3000 watt 220v blower in there right now and it barely gets the place to room temperature.
my plan is to create a small motorcycle sized booth within the garage and heat that only, hopefully with something radiant. this means I need something I can put inside the booth.
oil filled or ceramic was my first thought. also infra red is a possibility or even a remote radiant heat set up with the heater elsewhere. i even thought about using heat trace wire for gutters.
i can't find a ceramic or oil filled rads that is explosion proof rated. the only explosion proof rated heaters i can find are industrial sized.
so now I am looking at boat bilge heaters. a bilge can be worse than a paint booth for fumes and they have to meet pretty rigorous coast guard ignition standards

unfortunately most bilge heaters have automatic thermostatic controls that turn on around 40 and off around 60 farenheit.

NAPA's totes are good. I have a bunch of similar ones I bought from one of the shipping supplies places like U-Line. Cost me around $20 each. They are indestructible except below about 10F. Cracked a couple of them in those conditions. For awhile there you could get good lighter weight ones in the stores, but the ones available are now are junk. They can't handle stacking with heavy weight in them.
i bookmarked that last night thinking i'd never find it again with a straight google search. great info on an indoor setup, but he is working with very small areas to paint model car parts with an airbrush.

Dude, that's a rocking price, especially since it's the funny money.
sadly i get paid in funny money...
