Este fin de semana visité mis buenos amigos Liz y Glen y ¿adivina qué? Descubrí muchos objetos misteriosos en la casa de Liz y Glen. Ahora debo decirte algo acerca de mis buenos amigos. Cuando era bombera voluntaria Glen fue el Capítan de mi brigada y tambien Liz y Glen han sido bomberos voluntarios en Las Montañas Azules desde hace diecenueve años. Y por supesto el jardín y la casa de Liz y Glen están "lleno" de "objectos misteriosos".

Pues amigos, gracias a Liz y Glen...

¡Aquí está objeto misterioso numero 41!

(And Glen...no you can't guess your own MO!)

---

Y amigos no se olivden....

Esta foto muestra una "parte" de un objeto misterioso de mi vida real.

¿El desafío? - Adivina cuál es el objeto y la funciona del objeto.

(This photo shows a "part" of a mystery object from my life. The challenge? Guess what the object is and the function of the object.

---

If you can, post in Spanish and English, and, if clues are needed I will post them "along the way" so keep your eyes "peeled". And, a new rule for my game friends - you can post "multiple times" of course but please - one guess per post! That gives everyone "present" a chance to have a "stab at it" and makes it easier for me to follow the thread and the answers. Thanks everyone :o

Great idea!! - margaretbl, Jul 23, 2010

As usual, this will take some serious thought but I can say that I think it is upside down. - Yeser007, Jul 23, 2010

Hola yesero - ¿al revés? ...no - pero no te olvides - este foto es solamente una "parte" de mi OM. :o - nonombre, Jul 23, 2010

By torch, do you mean a headlamp? - sagiia, Jul 24, 2010

No here a "headlamp" is something worn only on the head by means of some kind of "band"; a "torch" is something that would normally be "hand-held" but in this case happens to be attached to the helmet by means of the clamp. :o Hope that clarifies.... - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

in the US we call those flashlights. - sagiia, Jul 25, 2010

Answer 1

¿Es parte de un casco como se llevan por los bomberos australianos y ese cosita metálica con el tornillo fija la visera?

Is it part of a helmet that Australian firefighters wear and that metal thingymajiggy with the screw attaches the visor?

That sounds like a good answer! It could also be a clamp to attach the visor to a motorcycle helmet! - Pajaro44, Jul 24, 2010

Bien hecho sagiia - tienes razon - mi OM es un casco :o ....explicare muy pronto :o - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

¿Qué es el premio? - sagiia, Jul 24, 2010

I understood that if I "accept" an answer as correct that answer receives "20" points, rather than the usual "10". I think that's right :o - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 5

]Bien hecho Sagiia! Mi OM es un casco.

(Good job - that was indeed a hard one ....)

My first photo was in fact a clamp that holds a torch on the side of the helmet.

The colours of this particular Rural Fire Service helmet indicate the rank of "Senior Deputy" - the person who is second in charge of a brigade.

Generally speaking in the Rural Fire Service the more "colourful" your helmet - the higher rank you have :o

---

And just some vocab to finish off

La abrazadera = clamp

---

el casco = helmet

---

la antorcha = torch

---

segundo a cargo = second-in- charge.

---

by torch do you mean a headlamp? - sagiia, Jul 24, 2010

Hola Sagiia - there's an answer to your question right at the "start" of the thread :o - nonombre, Jul 25, 2010

Answer 6

Is it a clamp to hold a ''roo'' (kangaroo) bar on a vehicle?

I think ''roo'' bars are used in Australia on vehicles to protect the vehicle from damage in case you hit a kangaroo while driving.

Su respuesta es muy creativa pajaro pero tristemente su respuesta no es correcto..:( - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 7

Is it one of those "small tractor" lawnmowers that you ride on?

Un tractor poco, cortacésped.

Hola de nuevo fontanero - pero, no, in realidad mi OM es solamente cuarenta centímetros :o - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

Time for me to head off friends ...see yous in about ten hours :o - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

Missile co-ordinates set, awaiting instruction to fire ! - fontanero, Jul 24, 2010

Oh! thanks for reminding me ... 411 - LateToDinner, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 8

I think it's something that attaches to a car or vehicle in order to hold something else.

I have a clamp that looks a little bit like your MO that clamps onto the window of my vehicle and supports a spotting scope. It's called a window mount.

Gran respuesta pajaro - y vas por el buen camino...en realidad mi OM tiene un tipo de "abrazadera". Daré otra pista muy pronto. Baja el cursor :o - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 9

One of those rubber "bumpers" on the side of a car or a boat (or a firetruck, lol), to prevent scratches?

...would it be "el parachoques" en espanol? no clue...

Hola schemmn - no, mi OM no es un parachoque :( - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 10

¿una extintor de incendios?

A fire extinguisher?

No fontanero - mi OM tiene algo que ver con los fuegos, pero mi OM no es un extintor de incendios. :o - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 11

Is it a travel carrier for a car roof ?

that seems likely! - Pajaro44, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 12

A spare tire lock

cerradura del neumático de repuesto (?)

Hola Rikko - buen intento, pero no, mi OM no tiene nada que ver con las "llantas" - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

daré otra pista muy pronto :o - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 13

ecnalubmA, Was this photo taken in a mirror ?

No...pero buena idea :o - nonombre, Jul 23, 2010

You see Ambulance... I see Electic! But I shouldn't tell you that, didn't I turn you onto the Bubbler with ''fountain?'' - LateToDinner, Jul 23, 2010

Once again, I thought only folks from Milwaukee called a fountain a bubbler. - sagiia, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 14

An adjustable stand to support an auxiliary flash.

No Lateto - it's just me and my little camera :( .....maybe one day........ - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

Now listen - I've gotta head out for about an hour - you mull over "things" and I'll be back asap :o - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010

Can't stay. Sorry. - LateToDinner, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 15

A reflector for when you are ''shooting'' the MOs

No - nada que ver con "reflectors" :( - nonombre, Jul 24, 2010
