Usually the box is built for the entire assembly. Painting on stretchers and in frame. The boxes are wooden crates with reinforced edges and corners....

Reading LeCarre makes me aware that there were people in college with me who probably went into that life. And makes me wonder who George Santos...

Pretty typical Texas driving if you ask me.

Almost reminiscent of the 1980's, when many trans-Pacific trips required a stop in Alaska. Do you know if any fully-loaded aircraft (freighter or...

I did. I flew with our 777 chief pilot. He did the interviews and was actually the one doing the driving. I was happy to sit back and watch the...

Reading Le Carre almost causes me to wish I'd experienced Berlin before the wall came down. I am very glad to trade my lack of experience for the...

That sounds right. I think when Le Carre gets to the "Karla Trilogy" - Tinker Tailor, Honorable Schoolboy and Smiley's People - he's worked out some...

It's painted - Garro.

Bus driver, Were you driving the Panda Express? Mike

Similar theme: anti-vax, out of control hoarding disorder, shopping addiction. Filing was the hardest choice I have ever made.

Shop Class as Soulcraft, Matthew B. Crawford In today’s AI, VR, video gaming world - this one sings on so many notes.

Your summary of Le Carré's attitude was in the back of my mind when I read Tinker Tailor and Smiley's People. I'll preface the following by saying...

Small plane comes in hot, veers off runway and hits car…the airport fence is your friend. Watch: Propeller plane misses runway and crashes into...

Since we're on the subject, and at some point in the future I will need to do this myself: Say you have quite a few oil paintings (moderate $...

I've packed for myself, worked at MoMA in the Registrar's office and used expensive art handlers. I'd say it depends on what you are shipping- how...

Pretty bike. No paint?

Sounds like a road trip is in order. Rent a van and make a week out of it! Might save some $$$ while you’re at it.

My daughter is a collections coordinator at a museum and she sent these links to me. She said depending upon where you live, you might want to...

Last time I bought a painting the artist used one of the usual shipping company (sorry don't remember which one) with tracking/insurance and all the...

It's going to be more expensive. In many cases, the shipper will want to coordinate the packing. Speak to an auction house to see who they partner...

Bike related is purely coincidental. The red head tube on this one is so photogenic (to me)

We build crates for my wife's large repousse pieces and ship them Fedex. They weigh 50-70 pounds.

There are people in the biz, but it’s probably not more economic. The museums I know have people, and I’ve helped them with little stowaway devices...

I'm not a big fan of looking at photos of aircraft parked in the ocean so how about a photo of a Panda flying home to Chengdu and munching on a...

been behind the ball here lately but back to work soon - Garro.

In 2020, my wife and I met right before my 55th birthday in May. After knowing each other for about ten days, my son said he needed to come home for...

TESTED!!!! Velocio Men's Signature Softshell Riding conditions: 42-45 overcast with wet roads. The jacket is fantastic, it effectively blocks...

Sorry to hear that Greg. I hope 2024 is a good year for you and your daughter.

Seems like a common theme this week. I finalized my divorce one year ago. My ex always faced emotional health challenges, but COVID and our current...

Had a better week after a few bad weeks. Provided a little help to good people who lost their jobs for reasons that were not theirs to control....

Like Jay, I went through a divorce in 2018 and basically started my life over in Arizona as an empty-nester as my son left for Annapolis. After the...

Well well well, if these guys are storing a basketball in the corner maybe I can (sucker) talk them into a game of chance. I'm finding that...

Forty degrees this morning and fog clouds the view of the forest around, so I lay about instead of heading out with my field mower and saw- shotgun...
