MOAR PICS

My sister's a wedding planner, and today I tagged along while she checked out a Garden, and I took a couple of nice pics:

It's a David Haselhoff Chia Head!
 
^ :lol:
^ Those are neat. Oh, and while I'm not certain why, when I saw the first picture, I immediately thought of the Tenth Doctor. :D

Finally, after weeks of drought and baking temperatures, the rain comes!

I love the droplets!

Thank you! They were initially unintentional, but when I opened up my photo editor to fix them, I changed my mind, and decided it looked much better with the droplets on the lens. It felt more real, it felt refreshing, I think.
 
^ Heh. That's really cooly how the moss is growing on it. I like it!

Ok, you've seen one, you've seen them all. But my fish has arrived!

I am NOT a geek! I'm NOT! I'M NOT!
 
The Tonka restoration shop has been busy over the last couple of days on a few more of my old Tonka trucks from my childhood.

I think this one turned out very nicely. I may not let the kids play with it any more. ;)
 
^ When you say the "tonka restoration shop" ....are you actually taking them somewhere or are you doing them?

It is really cool that these were your actual toys from childhood.

I'm curious as to the value of reconditioned tonkas. Do they go up in value if reconditioned? I realize that in mint original condition is best ...but do reconditioned tonkas have any monetary value or is it all emotional? I ask because i collect vintage Barbie dolls (my childhood toy) and there is a line that gets crossed as far as what work is done and how much work is done.
