Day 310 - RoboLove

Happy Anniversary to my other half.

Day 309 - Give me a J

Tomorrow's my 15 year anniversary, and I wanted to do something . . . different?   

Not sure if this qualifies as "robot," but my six-year-old said it's made out of robot parts.  I'm declaring it close enough because I worked on it most of the day and didn't have the energy/time/creativity to do something else. 

 

Day 308 - The Beginning of the End?

In my illustrious career, I had yet to make a cat bot. It's no secret that I'm no cat lover. BUT . . . this really nice repeat customer asked me to make a kitten look-alike for her friend's daughter.

So I made the cat with a spool thread, playing on the cat/yarn love affair.  I figured the spool was kind of cream colored like Meadow (the afore-mentioned cat), so I added dark ears, nose, feet, and tail.  I even tried to color the eyes a blue color on top of the screws and, of course, I gave her a few little whiskers.

I'm not sure how I feel about this new development.  Mostly, I feel like a traitor.  Cats!

Day 307 - Brownie Bot

Day 306 - Mr. Fancy Pants

Bitty Bot with top hat and bow tie.

Day 305 - Crop Circles

Today, I mowed the lawn for the first time in my life.  What happened defies rational thought. 

I've had a sketch artist provide a rendering of the miracle.

That's right.  A crop robot?!  Blows your mind, doesn't it?

Day 304 - Baseball

It's that time of year again . . . baseball has begun for my two oldest boys.

Norman's been practicing in the off season and has perfected a good knuckle ball . . . or he thinks he is the knuckle ball.  Not sure.

Day 303 - Disorganization Begets Robots?

Some call it rampant disorganization, I call it art. 

Day 302 - Highway Robot

I pass this contraption every time I head home from town. (I tracked it down on Google Maps, and this was the best angle I could get.)

I think of it as a robot sentry, guarding the highway from unseen danger.

It looks a little like this from the front.
