Vern with FIRST new Mago (didgeridoo)

Here I am, holding my newly acquired Mago from Jason K. My daughter Samantha took the pic. (she is aspiring to be photographer/artist) This is in the key of D.

My homemade "mago" style didgeridoo.

This was a teak didgeridoo, that I removed a LOT of wood from the inside, epoxy coated, and then cut about 5 in off the mouth end. I sanded off all the fake dot artwork, painted in satin matte black, and put simple color bands on it. Plays GREAT now! Plays in WAL fashion.

1996 Buick PA with B50 Baldwin Filter

This is a bypass filter I set up on my Buick Park Avenue. I used a Baldwin B50 filter, that filters down around 1 - 2 microns. Oil comes from the sandwich oil filter adapter, across the stabilizer bar, and returns to the oil fill cap. Works GREAT! Check out the dipstick photo!

Dipstick after installing B50 filter

This is the oil on the dipstick of the '96 Buick PA after I installed the Baldwin B50 filter. This oil was changed back in May and has a lot of mileage on it to the date of Aug. 6th when I put the filter in place. It cleaned up the oil that WAS black.
