Texas Day 2: The Forbidden Brewery

Irish Drinking Song:
A long time ago, way back in history,
When all they had to drink was nothing but cups of tea,
Along came a bloke by the name of Charlie Mopps,
And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops

Chorus:
He ought to have been an Admiral, a Sultan or a King
And to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us ( Read more... )

I totally dig the black and white touch a lot. And woot, I can't wait for part 2. :) I'm writing my assignment on abandoned buildings and this totally just tripped my imagination even more!

I want a beer too, wanna share?

Last I heard you were a minor.

That means I can only give you vodka.

Sadly, yes I am, but, I don't act my age so psh! That means the legal drinking age should be how old you act. Not how old you really are.
And I don't want Vodka! But, from you I'd take it.

Got any new "quests" in the runs yet? I really wanna go on one but, I'm limited with money for travel, and Minnesota kinda slightly lacks in new places for me to go.

awesome. "So I just keep hanging out with the guy. His name is Elvin, my new buddy. And he and I were going to hang out all day, as long as the police were on my jock."
How fabulously sneaky and funny. It's great that he just went along with it, and having his picture taken.
I'm excited for the next set! hopefully some in color???

Selecing black and white over color was a difficult choice. It's a real trade off. Black and white brings a lot of character to the old equipment in these two sets.

What you show as a power plant looks instead to be a compressor for refrigeration

Really? You got any references?

I have to guess at some of this stuff.

Looking at the relatively skinny lower crankcase with the heavy round access port covers mean the crankcase is sealed and most likely working under pressure, typical for refrigeration. An engine tends to have a beefier bottom end and is generally not 'sealed' as heavily. Also, judging by the huge amount of smaller piping around the unit and the number of valves, it seems that the unit is fed from and is feeling multiple zones. I cant make out too much detail of the upper section, but I cannot see rockers or sliders that indicate that it would be an engine either.

A tip of the hat to you sir, very well done. Not how I imagined you would get it, but a clever way never the less! Looking forward to part 2.

Wasn't how I imagined it either.
