I'm sure Mike will know I'm just being delightfully insensitive toward the spammer, and not actully bashing his picture. In fact, the "stupid silver jacket" on the right actually used to be my crash gear here at work. I donated 2 or 3 of them and a coupla pairz of gloves.

I understand completely. I was laughing out loud. Your words are truer than you know...

Ya, sad but true Mike. Little political commentary in my spam-bash this time. I was in that casino after the photo shoot I came down with you for. That's how I know there is a chinese place inside, and I played Sic Bo for a while before I made the trip back home. So I also did my research! Not so stupid Merican after arr? Round eye pray srot machine rike dis :shock:

jesus, you boys ain't right!

Naw, those guys are OK. I'm the one that's messed up. Little history behind the spam if you haven't seen it before. the patio heaters they are selling are actually quite expensive but appear to be good quality. It's a legit product, but the spammer makes a few fractions of a cent anytime someone clicks on the link. When they first started hitting this forum, the English was horrible. Couldn't even make out some of what they were saying.

No way of me knowing these are actually Chinese, the sentence structures of the confusing messages followed what you would typically hear from someone who speaks Mandarin attempting to speak English. So I replied to the spam one time with the South Park Chinese character "Tuong Lu Kim" in mind. Been a tradition ever since. We even have a running gag company called "Round Eye Coal and Patio Heat Company" for which I still have yet to have helmet stickers printed but might get around to it some day.

So ya, I ain't right. The other guys are OK. Well, as OK as people get that (used to :wink:

) crawl down into abandoned mines.

And, Chris does suffer from Aerial-psychosis. What with the flying Russian trainer jets and Extra 300s, pullin' some G's and crizznap. OK, so 2 of us are a little touched.

I can't see the super huge one, and what is the other on where the people are in the flame suits

Johnr, so you used to work in a steel mill? does the casino inside look like it used to be a mill?

The super huge image was hosted on webshots, so it was automatically deleted when webshots got out of the photo hosting business on December 1st. The vast majority of my images were hosted there, so those shots are no longer available online If someone really wants to see something, let me know and I can usually find the image on a hard drive and re-post it. Might take some time though.

The other image shows an outdoor fire sculpture at the steel mill.

No, never worked in a steel mill. Been in aviation my whole career. The casino, if I can recall, had some artistic interpretation of an active steel mill with colors and shapes, but nothing resembling a realistic mill by anyone's imagination. The hotel fits pretty well into the scape, the casino is actually pretty gentle as well for it's size, and I love that they used that massive bridge-crane instead of scrapping it.

and that right there mike is why its nice for forum software to allow you to upload the photo directly to the forum server. that way when something like that happens you dont loose all your photos from posts and have broken links. thats a shame, you had several great photos on here. glad mike and greg are now allowing uploading directly here but too bad it took awhile........

Chris,
How do you do that, uploading it right up on the website?

Miner Dave · **Posted:** Sat Dec 15, 2012 12:35 pm

how did they use the crane?
