Back to the Derrick

Yep, back to the derrick.  I started at the top, with something called a Crown Block thingie, which holds a pulley thingie that swings a swinging thingie downwards and... that's as far as I got for now.  Took a couple of hours to form the thingies out of cardboard, glue the pieces, paint the stuff.  In the photo, the gray lines show where the pulley cord thingies will eventually go.  I did this stuff while watching Fox and CNN (I figure I get the WHOLE STORY that way!) and chatting with my parrot.  A perfectly mindful afternoon!
