phone surgery...













Got the pad poured this morning...spotted some drought blooms all over the place out here.  Started stripping down the payphone so I can clean it up and add new graphics and some solar powered lighting.  They put those things together with lots of vandal-proof  fasteners that ordinary tools don't like.  92,103,71,0,B

Where'd you get the phone? I've been wanting a fortress phones for years, but they're spendier than I'd like :(

Are you using the airstream as an extra reflector for the solar oven? Interesting idea.

Just Me - that looks like a dehydrator - not oven LOL But extra reflector - that's interesting...

I must have missed something - why are you putting in a pay phone?

I must have missed something - why are you installing a pay phone out there?

For those who asked about the phone, it's just John's unique vision and absurdist artistic sensibility. Go figure. You just got to love the idea of a pay phone in the middle of the desert...surreal! (then, again, maybe he's looking for an additional income stream - he does get a lot of visitors. imagine if each one of them made just one call)

Nice desert blossoms.

Benita looks like she can hardly wait to call that cousin of hers.

I was thinking the same thing about the Airstream reflecting light onto the Solar Oven.
