OT Vacation Plans? (4 Viewers)

I love Pike's place.
Take my advice and take your significant other to Ray's Boathouse for dinner. Try their grilled King salmon cooked medium rare. You're going to love that place. Hands down the best seafood restaurant in Seattle or anywhere else I've been for that matter. Valet parking.

By the way, who's that stud with the massive biceps standing next to your wife?

It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind. Just so you know.

Nice pics by the way.

Tell me, does the restaurant at the top of the Needle still revolve in a circle very slowly. Took my wife there at night and wow, the view.

It does. One full revolution per hour. Amazingly, the system operates on a 1-volt motor.

You mean 1 horsepower motor dont ya.

• A total of 12 - 1⁄4 horsepower (hp) motors are used to rotate the glass floor which sits on top of 48 rollers, allowing the glass floor to smoothly guide as it revolves.

Yup, sorry about that. That was the original design.

After all these years in Washington state, I finally went up the Space Needle. There are a lot of historical facts posted along the way to the elevator ride and this one in particular caught my eye – the 125 ton restaurant that goes round and round is turned by a single 1 horsepower motor.

Not that it is free energy, but goes to show that when you have good engineering and you can balance 125 tons that well that you can rotate it for less than 800 watts!

Here’s a picture of that sign as well as a few other pics I snapped of the Space Needle.

NOTE: Apparently, the original motor was 1HP, now it is 1.5HP.

Power is volts times amperage electrical current. I'll bet it uses a lot of juice. Apply that volt across a low enough resistance and you've got an awful lot of power.

Staying at my sister's in Woodstock. Had dinner @ Primal Burger. Not bad. After dining I said, "Thank you, Sir" to the server. He/she replied, "That's Ma'am." Ooops.

Not vacation but interlude. Joan Jett played first concert since pandemic outdoors in San Francisco yesterday. Rare sunny day in San Francisco. Packed big picnic lunch. Danced all afternoon in best lesbian punk attire and bare feet.

Bet you didn't think I had it in me.

Are you vaccinated? If you and yours are vaccinated you should go. I went to Mexico in May had a great time it was shocking and how many people are wearing masks and the resort we stayed at was very very careful and very very clean.

His hookers are going to have no masks, no vaccines, no condoms, no birth control, and no morals.

I would do that if I had even a tiny bit of my health.

After planning trip to Santa Barbara to visit my favorite cousin and his husband, making nonrefundable reservation, they just decided to sell their house in Santa Barbara and move to Northern California! So I will just sit by the ocean.

Hard to picture you dressed lesbian punk singing ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb.

Back home today from a fantastic trip to the PNW! Despite its (lack of) leadership issues, Portland will always be the city I was born in, and the city that I love.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

At Lake Shasta!

Gorgeous!
