As I mentioned in an
earlier post, I've been helping out with a
friend's project to build a kinetic sculpture based on Ernest Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast." While it's been a few months in the making, this past weekend we finally did our first public ride, complete with a full brunch course! Here's a few photos and titles to give you the gist of things!

| This is the rear end of the machine, showing the leaf-spring suspension, drive chains, and transmission/differential. |

| Here, OS is hanging and lighting the chandelier! |
We appeared at the end of this CBS news segment:

| Once we arrived at the parade and set the table, the photographers couldn't get enough! |
 |
| Underway, with a stilted-spectator, and the parade fans. |
 |
| This gives an idea of the peddling, size of the wheels, etc. |
 |
| Celebrating a wonderful morning brunch, with the fans! |
 |
| We ended up winning the only award in the parade: the Czar's Trophy for Best Overall Entry! |
