Fidalgo Bay. Update: May 21, 2011
The re-opening of the Seafarers’ Memorial Park has been finished. This $34 million dollar project was completed in three phases over a nearly two year period, with clean-up efforts accomplished in partnership with the Department of Ecology and the Kimberly Clark Corporation, former owner of the Scott Paper Mill. This was the third of five Port environmental clean-up projects.
"A lumber mill, and later a pulp mill operated on the Scott Paper Mill Site beginning in the late 1800s through the late 1970s. The pulp mill used waste from the lumber mill and discharged waste water directly to Fidalgo Bay. Metals, diesel- and motor oil-range petroleum hydrocarbons, carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (cPAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and dioxins/furans have been found in soil at the Site above Washington State cleanup levels. Many of these contaminants were also found in groundwater (low levels) and marine sediments. In 1999, the Port of Anacortes and Sun Healthcare Systems conducted an independent cleanup action to remove petroleum-contaminated soil and wood debris on one of the parcels within the Site. Portions of the property have been operated recently by multiple entities that have used the Site as a log yard, a staging area for oil field equipment, a boat manufacturing site, storage, and a modular home assembly area. The northern portion of the Site is now primarily Seafarers’ Memorial Park, and the southern portion is primarily vacant. For nearly 100 years, mill operations dominated the Anacortes waterfront along Fidalgo Bay. First a sawmill started up, followed later by a pulp mill. But by 1978, Scott Paper had closed both mills. The property was used for other industrial purposes in following years. The mills left behind widespread contamination from their operations, ranging from wood waste to industrial chemicals."

A photo from way back in September at the Alaska State Fair, the Backhoe Olympics. In this event, backhoe operators were timed on how long it took to move ten eggs with an backhoe from the sand to the bucket, with points taken away for every egg broken. I thought it was fascinating, until one of my friends mentioned that the fair also had a beer tent. Then I lost all interest.

This is a 1993 John Deere 310C Backhoe that was up for auction at a farm clearing sale.
Taken near Horsham, Victoria in 2015.
On the way home, pulled over next to the old airport to take picture of the sky. Gates were open to the construction zone.
My latest creation. Hope u gonna like it.

A backhoe loader, also called a loader backhoe, digger, or colloquially shortened to backhoe, is a heavy equipment vehicle that consists of a tractor fitted with a shovel/bucket on the front and a small backhoe on the back. Due to its (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very common in urban engineering and small construction projects (such as building a small house, fixing urban roads, etc.).

It left before I could go back for some action shots.

Why is the color "medium azure"? The "medium azure" will be the color scheme for my construction theme. It's striking and different.
This model is inspired by the "Fendt tractor" model. Seen it's documentary of fracturing inspires me to build this. This will only fit one Minifigure. The loader and bucket do have articulation. Manage to fix in the hydraulic parts but not as realistic as the real model. I decided to custom build the loader and the bucket as well. It will look better using the pre-made parts for that. For now, I just prefer this look.
