You can take photographically interesting phone photos if you’re locked in enough (like me)

Ok well I gave it a shot with my friends SV650. First ones definitely better but I think still could’ve benefited from more light, especially from the front left of the bike and facing down from the rear to give the dark seat more light (any other criticism is welcome)

Very random thing but tuning an analog radio is so much nicer than tuning a digital radio, a lot smoother

$15 urban ore find, 1955 silvertone radio that works perfectly! Sadly it only picks up AM radio so I’m limited to the occasional sports game, Christian conservative talk, and a handful of ethnic stations

Mini WRM dump

Aquired some really cool today- a Bell System Charge-A-Call Payphone! It’s like a normal payphone, but instead of coins it only uses collect and credit card. These only were built for a few years prior to the 1984 breakup of Bell

also something to note: levees in the delta are failing left and right and its having dire consequences

I would love to talk to the person (people?) living on this island in the delta - so isolated yet so close to civilization. they must have very fascinating stories.

Thinking about this zany bus conversion I saw in Costa Rica last summer

After the @wtyppod.bsky.social episode on the Marlboro Unlimited I was inspired to buy myself some of the vintage Marlboro sweepstakes merch- it doesn’t even smell like cigarettes!

Cut the tomatoes too thick but besides that I’ve mastered homemade sandwiches I think

I own a payphone now! It’s missing most of the internals but I’m working on aquiring the parts I need to make it a fully functioning payphone I can use as a landline
January 25, 2025 at 11:20 PM
Haven’t put on the detail parts yet but this still looks incredible @bart.gov
January 16, 2025 at 1:23 AM
Bet yall haven’t seen this in a while huh
December 23, 2024 at 12:54 AM
more WRM stuff from this past weekend

Lil local history trivia I rediscovered the other day. Vietnam war protesters in Berkeley use to swarm ATSF troop trains in an attempt to stop them (with limited success, stopping a train is hard)

Unused BART wall paper design from 60s preliminary vehicle specifications book, would be cool if @bart.gov used this as in a heritage unit of some sort 🤔

Another day spent at the WRM instead of doing my homework
