Retro Range, Refrigerator

About four years ago I build a bright red fridge with retro styling. Always meant to go back and build a matching range, and I finally got the chance to do so. And I decided to rebuild the fridge from the ground up, too!

Kevin Costner’s Western Epic That Helped Pave the Way for β€˜Yellowstone’ Is Streaming for Free This Month

7 June 2026 at 11:30

There couldn't have been an actor more suited to the role of John Dutton on Yellowstone than Kevin Costner. And despite the ups and downs, the back and forth, the will-they-won't-they between him and the show's creator, Taylor Sheridan, Yellowstone turned out to be just the sort of hit that Costner needed at this stage of his career. The show's success gave him the confidence to mount his own Western epic, Horizon: An American Saga, which remains stalled after the underperformance of the first installment. He spent a considerable amount of his Yellowstone earnings on self-financing the epic Western series, not to mention the fact that he effectively gave up the chance to return for more seasons of the show by focusing on his own project. But Costner and the Western genre go hand-in-hand; some of the best and most underrated movies of his career are Westerns.

    I got a particular laugh out of this RWO, because I worked at a paper where they had mugshots of the staff on a bulletin board in the break room. It was handy, because you could learn the names of people in other departments who you ran into in only a superficial way.But it became […]

    powerpig posted a photo: Although I started tweaking my original two-door fridge design, eventually I decided I wanted something different; something even more retro. Going to a single-door design let me migrate to a much more functional hinge system; this in turn led to retro design elements like the integrated ice box and the "chin" at the bottom of the fridge.

Retro Refrigerator v2.0

Although I started tweaking my original two-door fridge design, eventually I decided I wanted something different; something even more retro. Going to a single-door design let me migrate to a much more functional hinge system; this in turn led to retro design elements like the integrated ice box and the "chin" at the bottom of the fridge.

The single door design also let me expand the the sizes of the shelves, both in the main cavity and on the inside of the door. And most of the food items in the fridge are brick-built, too!

    Constant Readers know my feelings about leaf blowers, which I have often said should have governors in them so they can only run for 20 minutes a day. I’m adding another gripe, which is that I don’t know why β€œleaf blower” is two words when β€œlawnmower” is one. However, given that I refuse to accept […]
