Most of us just call him “Stroke”. Stroke can be a very difficult man to get along with or befriend but once you befriend him there is nothing he wouldn’t do for you and actually becomes a pleasure to be around. Now I had always heard he had turned his garage into a bar but I just assumed it was the typical man cave with a store bought bar and dorm sized fridge. Not too long ago Nikki and I stopped over there to have a peek and we were blown away. In the back of his garage is an actual miniature bar the size of a small bedroom. It has it’s own entrance and every feature you would expect to see in your local pub. And I mean everything down to several beers on tap, glass door fridges and several types of drink glasses on display. While we were there I noticed there was one thing missing. On the back wall was a white dry erase board with the words “Stroke’s Place” and his “Store hours”. It was the funniest little place I had ever seen but looking around I thought this place needed a proper sign. Looking around I noticed the pub was decorated with a blues/music/guitar motif. As today is his 60th birthday and he was kind enough to invite a couple of us to Stroke’s Place for a drink or two (chocolate milk for me thanks) I set to work today on his new sign. We will present it to him this evening. I hope he likes it.

As I sat next to my window watching the icicles melt on the holly bush outside I decided to capture some macro shots. A sign of hope for warmer weather.

Every once in a while you find a real treasure. I work in a scrap yard and because it’s such a filthy dreary place you wouldn’t think there would be any art in it. However, one day we got a load of scrap metal in from one of the big three car makers that included some carts and tables used to hold objects in their paint booths. Over the years these carts collected layer upon layer of paint. My job is to cut up the scrap with a huge shear. When I cut these carts large chunks of paint broke off. It was so pretty I collected several chunks to bring home for this project I call “Paint Booth Geology”.
