This locomotive has been stable-diet on the Ironbridge PS - LBT biomass circuit from 27/11/14 until last Sunday - 15/2/15: when it was swopped in favour of 66721. 66749 after having moved from Ironbridge PS to Crewe on 15/2/15 then subsequently moved onwards on 16th to Hams Hall to take up 4L22 Hams Hall - Felixstowe modal duties. Half expecting it to be 'ripped' at Peterborough on 16th I discovered that it had in fact made the round trip and is seen on 4L22 at Whitacre Junction on the 17th having just departed Hams Hall (with DC at the controls).
Revisited Angkor Wat to check it in all it's sunrise glory. A few tips for this: Bring a wide angle lens and be there before before 5:30! The place was already filled with people by the time we got there. I think we left the hotel around 5:15 then so we were a bit late already. Just got lucky that I was able to squeeze in a few shots without much people in the way. Of course, the visit wouldn't have been complete without us taking photos in the main walkway. Hahaha!
Had lunch in Il Forno in the Pub Street area. Highly recommended for their pizzas and pastas! The rest of the day was spent on a random trip to a nearby fishing village. Awesome time on a boat if not for those kids with the snakes. :|

We've had this cactus for over 25 plus years and it did nothing but grow for the first 15; then it suddenly bloomed and it gets prettier every year.
Then: 1989. I had learned officially to drive, and now was ready to begin the quest of every teenage boy: to get laid as much as possible. That didn't work out so well. My friend set me up with a cute little red head. She turned out to be a bit off her rocker, and picked up some other guy whilst on our first date because "he looked italian." Of course, the first thing she said to me on getting into the back of my friend's car was "Can I suck your ..." Obviously, I dated her for nearly a year after that.
Now, I find myself hiding behind who I was then. Some times I think I am too wrapped up in 89, or 92, or some other time period. Truth is, I really miss those days. These days, I am married, own a house, cars, have dogs and cats, all that responsibility. Not that I mind it that much, but I do pine sometimes for the easy days when all I had to worry about was finding a date, whether I would make it past 2nd base, and wondering if Debbie was going to try to get her hands in my pants in our Friends basement again... Oh those were the days.

When I saw Mr. Rysiek on the market I just catch a glimpse of ink visible from under the sleeve of his shirt, I wasn't sure to talk - he was with a rather large group of bums / ex-cons and the younger guys can easily be aggressive but obviously in five minutes I ended up in the bushes alone with him. Long prison & tattoo story, started at the correctional facility for young offenders at the age of 15, then an extended tour trough polish prisons: ZK Mielęcin, ZK Iława, ZK Sieradz, ZK Sztum (4 times), ZK Łowicz (4 times), ZK Łęczyca and classic Warsaw's units: AŚ Białołęka, AŚ Rakowiecka i AŚ Służewiec. Rysiek got his first tattoo in 1987 and the story is still on for him. Part of his tattoos is self-made with the help of a mirror. He uses Perełka or rotring ink and needles. What strike me is the fact that he is particularly handsome – sort of 20's/30's cinema face – I documented over 200 guys by now – they have strong features, often with a lot of character, but that is the first time I photographed a Handsome Criminal. Mr. Rysiek has no front teeth – he lost them in prison – beaten by a guard. Born in 1973 – he is four years younger than me.

I'm on an overhead walkway at the front of the Ferry terminal, on this road trip through my early teen-age years. I lived in Bremerton / Silverdale from 1969 (Moon landing!) through 1972, ages 12-15. Then we moved back to the Bay Area, where I've lived ever since.
This was a 2 day drive away from home, just like Sacramento / San Jose was a 2 day drive south when we lived here.
In 2004, my dad and my brother drove up and I few up to Sea-Tac to join them, for our 32nd anniversary tour. 4 days, 3 nights. Much had changed! But the ferry was still about the same (smaller than I remembered) and Mt. Ranier still looked like an ice cream sundae on the horizon. Didn't rain as much as in the '70s.
We spent a day at the Seattle / Boeing Air and Space Museum, got a tour of the large airplane factory at Boeing, found the workshop where museum exhibits were prepared and serviced. Explored Seattle's new Library- seriously, we're nerds. Spent a day in Bremerton / Silverdale / Poulsbo, Also visited the Tacoma Glass Museum and enjoyed watching glass-blowers working in the "hot shop".
The ferry was setup for cars and their occupants but also pedestrian passengers. My friends and myself would get someone to drop us off near down-town Bremerton and ride for 45 or 50 minutes, to be dropped off at the Seattle waterfront.
From here, there was a "RIpley's Believe It Or Not!" shop and a "Pier 1" / "Cost Plus" import store on the next block to the right, and a few blocks walk uphill and to the left got you to Pike Street Market, and a bit further, the big city department store "Bon Marche". 7 stories with pneumatic tubes linking the cashiers on the top floor with the sales people at the cash registers. Change a $20? Thoop! the little capsule shot up the glass tube and after a moment or three, returned with a $10, $5 and 5 $1s.
The top floor also held the book store and hobby shop. This is where I got my $0.95 Ace paperback of "Dune" by Frank Herbert. And imported, foreign, model airplane kits from Europe, (Airfix, Frog, Heller, Revell UK), and Japan, (Hasegawa, Tamiya, Aoshima). I built F-4s, A-6s and UH-1 Hueys from Vietnam, the XB-70, XF-107 and F4D Skyray from the cold-war, F4F Wildcat, P-51 Mustang, P-39, P-40 and P-47 fighters, B-17, B-24, B-25 and A-20 bombers, British Hurricane, Spitfire, Mosquito and Tempest,, Japanese RIsen (Zero) and German Messerschmidts.
And the usual Monogram, Revell, Aurora and Lindberg, domestic airplane kits.
Later, on the walk to Pike Street, I found a better stocked photography store than Bremerton had, and a block away, a musical instrument store with brand new Gibson guitars. Niice. Far out of my price range, or skill, in those days, but a child could dream, yes?

Wonderful Winter Wetlands
The mist over the water in this remote backcountry wetland was wafting slowly with the below freezing breeze above. This mid-spring Wyotana wetland capture was taken right as the sun cracked over the far ridge to the east shadowing this ground about 15 minutes longer than sunrise. Sunrise time depends on if the horizon is above you topographically or not lolol.
A snowy/frosty/blowy storm came through after a week of thawing weather melted most ice on local ponds. Rime Snow coated most exposed objects but the mist from the water definitely hoar frosted the far trees totally. Wind blowing that mist that refroze on the trees in the distance. I probably should have taken a walk over to those trees with a few good cameras but the aforementioned breeze with below freezing weather dissuaded me. Wind Chill cutting through the cracks in my cold armor is always a consideration in cold weather.
I see much wildlife in and around these lakes but they were no where to be seen this frosty morning. I suspect they were bedded down somewhere close by staying out of the cold breeze. Sheltered (lower) areas like this are an oasis from the blowing and drifting usually. The trees and topography “helping” with the natural wind break. A source of open water in places due to the spring fed nature of the lakes, many local animals winter over here.
Spring in Wyotana is a fleeting season. I think it was on a thursday last year. Winter usually lasts until May 15, then it’s green season. Green season is variable depending on the rains of course but Spring…. it’s usually about a day long. 🤔😜📷
Location: Near the Bliss Dinosaur Ranch, Wyoming/Montana borderlands (Wyotana)

Sanders County. The Trout Creek post office building, seen in 2016. Located along the Clark Fork River, Trout Creek began as a station along the Northern Pacific line in 1883 and was named for the nearby Trout Creek. A post office was established at Trout Creek in 1888 (April 27) With W.J. Davis as postmaster. The office was closed in 1900 (May 15), then reopened in 1903 (October 17) with James Hylent as postmaster. For about 8 months in 1910, the office was known as Hylent (after Jim Hylent, owner of the Hylent Hotel and postmaster for a few years). Since then the Trout Creek post office has remained active with no further name changes.
CHRIS'S STORY
Age: 42
I was living with my mom in a motel when I was 15, then she left and the manager threw me out and I was on the street for years. Eventually I got married, had a kid and a job for a while and then that fell apart and I was homeless again. It's not easy, but friends help a lot and many people are kind. I just wish people wouldn't curse at me and tell me to get a job. I live on the riverbed right now, but it's safe and I have friends that help me.

Drive to school (yes, I drive myself to school) around 7:15, then watch my dad drive off with my soon to be car.
Go through school and all it's ups and downs (8-4).
Get out and go to choir to practice for all state.(4-5)
Go to dance and sweat my butt off( any where from 5:00-8:45).
I get home finally, then jump in the shower for a cool off.
I slip into my pj's then do my homework and eat.
I go to bed at around 11:30.
Then it all starts again....

The fifth roll of film. How do I know that this is the fifth roll? Because I used thin masking tape to create the numeral "5" on the glass of the proof sheet tray, hoping that it would show up in the dark area at the bottom. It didn't quite work as expected, but it did correctly identify this sheet so that, 27 years later, I would know exactly where it fit in with the other rolls.
This roll suffered from problems in the developing process, as evidenced by the light artifacts running along the bottom of the roll. As it appears in the relatively same area on all four strips, it was determined that the film stuck to itself in this area when it was rolled on the developing reel, and therefore the chemicals were not distributed in that area.
The cheerleader photos are obviously taken at two different basketball games. Based on the pep band schedule for basketball games from the 1983-84 season and the fact that the photos from the previous roll were taken on December 8 & 9, the timeframe for these photos is December 13-16, 1983. There were three games that week: The 13th, 15th and 16th. Since there are photos taken between the two games (and the next roll of film, 83_06, starts off in January 1984), I can say with some certainty that the first set of basketball game photos are from Tuesday, December 13 ... because if the first set were taken on Thursday, December 15 then the second set would have to be taken on Friday, December 16, but that would mean that the school photos were taken on that Friday, the last day of school, and I do not think that is very likely. By that same token, I am fairly certain (although not positive) that the second set of basketball game photos were taken on Thursday, December 15; I have my doubts that anyone showed up for the game on Friday, December 16, considering that it was the last day of school before the Winter Break. This is only my assumption and I do not have any official confirmation for these dates, but that is what I am going with.
Based on this logic, I can definitely state that the first set of basketball game photos were taken on Tuesday, December 13, 1983; the school photos were taken either on Wednesday or Thursday, December 14 & 15, 1983, and the second set of basketball game photos were probably taken on Thursday, December 15, 1983 or, less likely, on Friday, December 16, 1983.

Had lunch in Il Forno in the Pub Street area. Highly recommended for their pizzas and pastas! The rest of the day was spent on a random trip to a nearby fishing village. Awesome time on a boat if not for those kids with the snakes. :|
Made a bratwurst and sweet potato chili a few years back that I felt was pretty good. I decided to take it a bit higher and add a few more ingredients to it, most notably an equal amount of ground beef as well as some hot sausage. There’s also celery and fennel added as well as some tomato paste and apple cider. This is also for a larger amount of chili than the initial recipe yields so most ingredients are doubled or substantially increased. The increased yield is also why I added tomato paste to he recipe, even though the amount of diced tomatoes is doubled I felt more tomato flavor than two cans of diced tomatoes was going to be needed for this amount of substance.
15-30 g. Bacon Grease (optional)
If you’re using ground beef that is less than 85.15 then you probably won’t need any extra grease. I used 85/15 here so I added the bacon grease just in case.
565 g. 85/15 Ground Beef
500 g.. Pork Sausage
225 g. Hot Pork Sausage
450 g. Sweet Potato (peeled & cubed)
225 g.. Red Onion (diced)
I thought about using regular potato here but the cook time for chili is so long that cubed white or yellow potatoes would likely just break up. Plus the orange sweet potatoes and the purple-red onions, and the green peppers are typical Halloween/October colors.

55 g. Jalapeno Pepper (diced)
100 g. Apple (peeled & diced)
2 cans Dark Kidney Beans (drained & rinsed)
170 g.. Tomato Paste
20 g.. Chili Powder
3 g. Dry Cilantro
10 g. Cumin
2 g. Cinnamon
1.5 g. Cayenne Pepper

Green Onions
Sour Cream
Shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar

You’re going to need the big pot for this one.
Before you get judgemental, this clearly isn’t just slop thrown together since everything is not only measured but re-measured and converted to the metric system and ‘yes’ I do have a mother who cooked enough when I was a child for me to know what normal chili is. A lot of people will turn up their nose at this but people have been droned into misguidance. ‘Chili’ is merely a ‘stew.’ Potatoes are quite common in stews, AND no additional thickeners like flour or cornstarch should be needed because of the starch in the potatoes. As for the cinnamon, I mean.... It goes good with the apples which go good with the fennel which goes good with the celery which is more common in chili than you might think as it forms a good trinity with onion and bell peppers. Plus they’re all kinda fall flavors and colors that go good with sausage and peppers and onions. You might not like the beans being added but I’m planning on doing some Five Way Chili with the leftovers so I decided to save myself a step... and I like beans in chili. So eat a fart, old man, and go somewhere else to enjoy your 'authentic' chili without beans.
