Here's me hugging some rock.
When I was younger, I used to phantasize about the Eiger Nordwand, and the Nose of El Capitan - but the phantasy left me before I came into any very serious harm.

no, that's a model of a Queensland loco made by a retired fitter-and-turner and is the real thing - ie. it burns coal to boil water to make steam to power the loco. A beautiful piece of engineering that took many 100's of hours to complete. A real treat to be allowed to operate it (understandably their creator/owners get a bit protective)

Here I am with the Peugeot, at the end of its 36 years in our family. Got to the wrecker under its own power so we could claim a Clean Air credit. My wife's tricolor bunting (half removed before picture) blocked air to the radiator & it boiled over.
Oh, and Allyn says this picture is also representative.
