Don't tell Mrs TTB but a sneak visit to a well known Mini specialist & a nice new set of bumpers leapt into my car!! (lol) coming together now me thinks
The only bits of the old boot lid that could be re-used were the two bracing parts in the middle. The new one was assembled using solid rivets as per the original though the top angle section for the hinge was made slightly thicker to avoid the cracking that wrote off the old frame. The old Brutonian livery is in evidence.

A bit more archive action for a very wet Saturday. This was the view (looking west with the Finnieston Crane in the background) from the very top of the disgracefully demolished St. Enoch Hotel, one of Glasgow’s three great railway hotels, flattened along with the station for a second-rate shopping mall.
I don’t remember being scared up here and obviously this was before Health and Safety was invented so no high-vis, hard hats or safety lines. 😀

I’ve had a bit of an absence from Flickr lately, the reason being that I was ‘telecommuting’ to Germany. The German puzzle forum’s well-publicized Mega-Marathon took place from midnight, Jan. 2nd through 23:59:59, Jan. 4 (72 hours).
To sum up the event: within the allotted time frame, group members try to place as many pieces as they can. The puzzles can be of any size (indeed, the majority were 500 pieces or less) and the goal is simply to compile the greatest total number of pieces placed, as a group. The previous record total from last January was 91,709 pieces, and this year the record was soundly beaten with 127,962 pieces placed.
The puzzles seen here are the ones I chose for the event. I almost got through all of them: there were 105 pieces to go on the final one when, unexpectedly, the power went out at my house, 1 hr. and 9 minutes before the event’s end-time.
I didn’t pre-select the puzzles; it’s always a last-minute choice based on what size, style and difficulty I want to engage in. And as I found out toward the end, I’m not the best judge of what makes an easy versus a difficult puzzle.
This was my second marathon event. Last January, I also took part, completing 1 X 1000 piece and 3 X 1500 piece puzzles for a total of 5,500 pieces in 23 hours, 58 minutes of total puzzling time. I was especially proud of that accomplishment since I was sick with the flu throughout the whole thing.
This time around I felt very well. I hadn’t worked on a puzzle since before Christmas, so perhaps a little rusty at the outset. In 35 hours, 17 minutes total puzzling time, I placed a total of 7,900 pieces, completing 1 X 2000, 1 X 1505, 3 X 1000 and 1,395 out of 1,500 pieces on the final one.
Because of the power outage (which lasted over 3 hours) I was unable to post my final update until about 1.5 hours after the end of the event. Consequently, none of the pieces in my final puzzle were counted. (In the rules, you do not have to finish a puzzle completely for the pieces to count; you just have to accurately count the exact number of pieces placed and report it (as I found out afterward) before the end of the event.
So, my official total was 6,505 pieces.
I look forward to taking part in next year’s Mega-Marathon (they hold one in July as well, but I can’t bear to stay cooped up inside for those kind of hours in the summer). It’s a great way to ring in the new year. I had suggested that we hold a similar event here on Flickr, but I’m not sure I’d want to do this more than once a year - it’s completely draining!
Also not sure if members of the BIG group would be equipped for an event such as this: the German forum members seem to have a never-ending supply of tiny puzzles in their cabinets.
Shutter plate separated from the body. The pin of the cocking ring is supposed to push out to allow easy separation, but mine was stuck fast, and in the end all the shutter leaves fell out, along with their stiffeners (the small pieces). It is necessary to separate the shutter plate to access the aperture blades, but not necessary to disturb the leaves in the process.
Try to avoid operating the shutter while the cocking shaft E-clips are missing. The shaft will start to move through the backplate, and springs can get unhooked.
Years ago, I had a wonderful spring trip to the Okanagan. There I saw some special birds who all had a little blue to their color display.
yeah sometimes i'm a bit crazy! Wish u all a merry X-mas.Thanx for your visits,comments,stars,diamonds and whatever! Also thanx for my first pic in explore on 23rd of november! (didn(t know about untill today--->checked my profile:-)

In the Oldedalen Valley guarded by steep mountains, the clouds and rain persisted. A farm building stands in the middle of a field surrounded by wild and cultivated flowers, a bit of serenity not far from the raging Oldeelva River.

Clearly, Viv is a bit happy about winning her first softball tournament / trophy. Audrey's team won as well but she managed to control her excitement.

The youngsters manage to thwart another encroachment by the vultures!
I posted a bit yesterday about the Great Blue Heron nest but did not post any shots. Will try to make up for it today and will actually overload everyone with a number of shots from yesterday. Will just say that the Turkey Vultures fly by and hang around the tree constantly. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the four youngsters are very capable of warding them off and making the vultures keep their distance. The vultures seem easily intimidated by the herons. All of these captures were made within about an hour. From the actions of the juveniles a person can tell that they are very capable of flying but are extremely hesitant to leave the safety of the nest. They extend their wings and fly from the branch on the left to the nest quite often, but that is about the extent of their movement. One of the adults paid a brief visit to the nest but none of the youngsters approached and it flew off after a very brief stay. They looked quite bewildered after the incident, but went back to their normal routine after a few minutes. Let’s hope that they soon fledge and make their way to the water’s edge very quickly. These scenes are not in any particular order.
I am going to leave them all open for comment, but don't feel as if you have to make any comments at all.

Established in 1992, this temple serves a large membership of Indo-Caribbean Hindus, most of whom are from Guyana.
The temple building was formerly the "Mother Church" of the intriguingly named Church of the Four Leaf Clover. The church erected the building here in Briarwood/Jamaica 1925-26 and sold it to the Arya Spiritual Center in 1992. In 1925, one newspaper reported that the building was going to be called the Temple of Truth. I don't think that name stuck, however, because that was the only mention of it I found in the newspaper archives.
The Church of the Four Leaf Clover was regularly listed and described in the papers as a spiritualist congregation. Spiritualists believe in communication with the spirits of the dead. (Our old friend Allan Kardec's Spiritism is an offshoot of spiritualism.)
I found several old newspaper articles that shed a little light on the history, beliefs, and practices of the church:
The Daily Star, 1925: The church was incorporated in 1923 and its congregation consists of "more than 300 families from all sections of Queens". The church is "non-sectarian and subscribes to no set creed. The tenets of the church command only the observation of the laws of God and man and demand tolerance of race and religion."
The Daily Star, 1929: The church "knows no creeds, and has no forms of worship." The congregation stands and faces east during services. According to a church leader, "All wisdom comes from the east. Knowledge may be purchased—but wisdom never."
Nassau Daily Review-Star, 1948: While the church believes in the teachings of Jesus, it uses a four-leaf clover as its symbol instead of a cross, with the four leaves symbolically reaching out "to the four corners of the earth". Clergy are not financially compensated; the pastor mentioned in the article works as an electrical contractor.
The Daily Star, 1929: The pastor of the Mother Church is the Rev. Martha E. Claas, a "well-known psychic". The church is planning to help people of Bayside (where it has established a mission) develop their "spiritual gifts, such as wisdom, healing power, working of miracles, prophecy, seeing and hearing and the interpreting thereof"; local residents have requested this instruction "in view of such power having already been visited upon them." According to the Rev. Claas and another church leader: "Freely have we received and freely we give. Our reward comes hereafter, provided we increase the talents given us from beyond the realms of men and the rudiments of men." (It's not stated explicitly, but I'm guessing that "seeing and hearing and the interpreting thereof" and "such power having already been visited upon them" and "given us from beyond the realms of men" refer to communication with spirits.)
The Daily Star, 1930: A church leader will give a lecture on reincarnation at the Mother Church.
The Daily Star, 1932 (among many others): The church calls its Sunday school Summerland. (I was hoping this was its way of trying to trick kids into thinking Sunday school was fun, but it turns out that the Summerland is a spiritualist conception of the spirit world, "an inhabitable sphere or zone of spiritualized matter in space". Here's an illustration of the Summerland as a "circular belt" from what I believe is the seminal work on the subject, Andrew Jackson Davis's A Stellar Key to the Summer Land, published in 1867.)
————————————————————————————————
The church built at least two additional houses of worship in other communities where it had first established missions. The Second Church of the Four Leaf Clover was dedicated in 1933 at 204th Street and 33rd Avenue in Auburndale/Bayside, Queens, and it still stands there today. It's a smaller structure than the Mother Church, but has some similar architectural features. The building is currently owned by the Sri Chinmoy Centre, which bought it from the church in 1972. (Sri Chinmoy was the founder of the Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race.) This 1973 article mentions Sri Chinmoy holding meditation sessions at the Second Church.
The Third Church of the Four Leaf Clover is in Hempstead, in Long Island's Nassau County. It looks almost identical to the Second Church, and was built on a very similar timeline. Its groundbreaking was held on February 5, 1933, a week before the Second Church's, and it was dedicated on October 8, 1933, a week after the Second Church. I was surprised when I visited the Third Church in Street View and found what appears to be an active, or at least actively maintained, Clover church. I had assumed that the Church of the Four Leaf Clover no longer existed, given the scarcity of information about it online, but the Street View image shows a well-kept building with a "FOUR LEAF CLOVER PARKING ONLY" sign at the entrance to the parking lot, message boards that still bear the name of the church, and a clover symbol on the pediment (above the columns).
From what I gather, each of the Four Leaf Clover churches had a clover symbol set inside a circle on its pediment, as well as another clover on a globe mounted above the facade. A cloverless circle can still be seen on the former Mother Church, above, and on the Second Church. A globe remains on top of the Third Church, but its clover appears to be gone. You can see the Mother Church's globe in this old image.
A Fourth Church of the Four Leaf Clover, in Holbrook, Suffolk County, farther out on Long Island, was mentioned numerous times in The Suffolk County News in the mid-1950s, but I never read anything about the church having its own building. A blurb in the paper in 1954, for example, said that upcoming "services will be held as usual at the home of the Rev. Gus Berglund", the church's pastor, who lived with his wife on Hiram Avenue. The paper's listings of church services gave the location of the Fourth Church as Hiram Avenue and Mohawk Place, so I assume that's where the Berglunds' house was. Some church events listed in the paper were held at the home of a Mr. William Albert and his wife, also on Hiram Avenue. I mention this because the 1992 deed transferring title of the former Mother Church to the Arya Spiritual Center was signed by the secretary of The Church of the Four Leaf Clover, Inc., a William T. Albert of 1606 Hiram Avenue in Holbrook, which is located at the intersection of Hiram Avenue and Mohawk Place.
UPDATE: 2015 and 2016 Street View images of the Third Church reveal that it is still being maintained. The parking sign mentioned above has been touched up. The message board messages are still the same as in 2012, but a formerly missing letter has appeared: "GOD IS OVE" has become "GOD IS LOVE". The globe has been removed from the top of the building.
I found four phone numbers listed for the Third Church and fruitlessly tried dialing them all in hopes of determining if the church is still active. One number now belongs to a law firm, another seems to be a family's number (based on the voicemail message), the third just kept ringing, and the fourth was disconnected.
Bit of a copout I guess since it's only my hand, but it's the only one I could find for that week. A page from my copy of Wreck This Journal, which I was really excited about for the first couple weeks but seem to have been ignoring lately...

I recently got this interesting product. It's a computer that comes with a basic interface so you can code and run basic language programs.
The main feature it's that you can play famicom games as well. It comes with two turbo controllers.
Back in the eighties the MSX computer was very successful in Japan, Europe and South America, Sony release a model called MSX Hit Bit, maybe this is a Chinese attempt to copy an MSX computer.
It's very cool and it has output for a printer and a tape recorder.
Bhit Shah is a small town located in Matiari District, Sindh, Pakistan. It is most famous for being the location of the shrine of Sindh's greatest sufi poet, Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai.
A DAF XF pulling one of those odd trailers that split apart in the middle so you can dump the back end in one place and drag the front to somewhere else. In this particular case the driver had just had both 20' boxes unloaded at the same time on separate bays.
I wanted to get a picture of him joining the two halves up again afterward but wasn't fast enough with the camera. This is him winding the legs up before moving off.
Took the kids and the family down to the Harbour estate to see the QE2.but i wanted to go down to the pump house, as the traffic was being directed, i stopped and asked the gentleman could we get down the road to the pump house, he wasn't from NI and he said that i follow cars, as there were some behind me (like that was the understatement of the year) so again i asked if i could go straight down the road and he said that other person would help me. so i said ok, put the windae back up and said "that fellow was helpful... not" and holden pipes up in the backseat (bernie, you'll hear this with the accent!!!) "that man was STUPID!" omg talk about near wetting yerself laughin... the rain may have been coming down hard but it certainly didn't dampen the spirits!
