Great. Now I have to upload a photo of something as an avatar. Perhaps a cracked pot full of dirt? Or an old boot or a rusty hunk of obsolete machinery. Maybe an old rusted pruning sheers. Sadly, all my pruning sheers are in reasonably good condition. And I'm clean out of cracked pots. It's going to be a project.

When you dance with nature, try not to step on her toes.

I vote for the obsolete machinery, preferably something rather obscure so we can guess what it is!

Toni, Thank you for your work on this project. I was sorely tempted by both offerings. And thanks to both you and Porkpal for inspiring me to run out and take a few photos of my own:

Machine 1

Machine 2

Dead Branch

I'll be glad to entertain suggestions for which might most effectively suggest/complement my online persona.

8 cylinders, definitely!

When the votes were tallied, 100% went for Machine 2. It looks like it was once a sort of disc tool to break up clods. I wonder if we will revive its function?
