Rusty Bucket, as the junction between the north and west beaches on Sand island is known. I have no idea what this structure used to be. Midway Atoll, Sand island.

This is a chalkboard in a neighborhood in our inner city area. It has spaces for people to write what they want to do before they die. The answers ranged from "Sail solo" to "Call Mom" to "Kiss Justin Beiber". It made me smile, and it made me think, too.
Enjoy, everyone, happy weekend!

Lightning at the Grand Canyon has long been my "holy grail" bucket list photo. I've been at it for more than a decade, with little more than a couple decent photos to show for it. Conditions change rapidly at the Canyon. Even at the height of summer, temperatures often plummet into the 40's and 50's at the Rim, making nocturnal lightning even rarer.
Sculpture of the little girl carrying a bucket and spade commemorates the 89 people, many of them children, who died in the Armagh rail disaster on Wednesday, June 12, 1889.
I'm not doing the bucket challenge, but our theme of the week was bucket, so I found a tin bucket that once held an array of holiday goodies from a vendor in the back room of my office. Then I strolled down the hall where there is an empty studio for rent to take this photo.
If you want to use this image, ask permission PRIOR to use. Don't be a thief - under most circumstances, I'm quite reasonable.

I have never agreed with the idea of the bucket list. Trying to fulfill all the desires of a lifetime seems to me an effort leading towards failure. How awful to die not having completed everything on your list. Mr. Puff and I are doing things a little differently. We are adding things to the bucket, so when he goes, we both know that he finished many adventures in his lifetime.
He always wants to sleep on this little table that is on my balcony. It is a little too close to the railing for my comfort so he has never been allowed. Today, he jumped up and insisted that he have a nap with his sunbeam, and today, he got to add that to his bucket list as a complete.
His fur is all ruffled because of the chemo. He is losing fur on his back, but he is still so very handsome and happy and enjoying life.
I should post some interesting cars but a mean winter and no new show photos sent me into the files. Ah, an old cruise night...
I have this classic replica Model T hot rod from the 2018 Canadian Tire cruise night at the Queensway store.
" bucket" or " T-bucket" refers to the Ford Model T ( later the Model A) runabout or pick up modified for performance by the post WW II crowd. It usually had a V8 engine of the day and was stripped of anything not necessary to reduce weight.
In 1870 substantial underground workings existed in the Dubs Moor, Yew Crag and Honister Crag mines. Slate from these workings was dragged on sleds down steep paths that traversed the cliffs down to the top of Honister Pass. In 1879 new owners working the Yew Crags mine installed a self-acting incline which proved a great improvement. The company leased the other mines in the area and used aerial ropeways from Honnister crags and drove an 800 yard tunnel from Dubs through to Honister Crags.
By 1891 production had reached 3,000 tons a year and 100 men were employed . Dubs mine was prone to roof collapses and slate discoloration and was closed in 1932.
The First World War saw the mines shut down due to labor shortages and it took many years after the ceasation of hostilities for the workforce to return. In 1926 new electrically powered sawing equipment was brought in and the mines fortunes began to improve. Despite an enforced closure from 1943 to 1945 during the Second World War production continued through the 1950s and 1960s although Yew Crag mine closed in 1966 due to unsafe working conditions.
In 1981 the company was acquired by Mr B.R. Moore and a significant program of capital improvements was undertaken. Despite this the mines ceased production in 1985.
However, in 1996, its fortunes suddenly changed with the arrival on the scene of Bill Taylor and Mark Weir, whose respective father and grandfather had worked at the mine for many years. The two men secured the lease and developed a plan to start up production again under the banner of a heritage enterprise that would combine commercial extraction and tourism. Over the course of the next year, a tremendous amount of work was devoted to restoring the mine workings, repairing the buildings and constructing display areas for visitors. Dormant machinery was brought back into operation and, in December 1997, eleven years after the mine’s closure, slate production began again.
Since then, Honister Slate Mine has become a highly successful enterprise. It is once more producing slate in significant volumes, it is preserving and applying age old skills such as docking, riving and dressing, and it has given rise to an extremely popular visitor attraction. These are all achievements of which Mark Weir is very proud:
I liked the idea of this better than the execution. Not one of my favorites; however, the recipient was so thrilled (an older lady who had never received this type of cake before) that it made up for how I felt about it.
Complete with Cherry Picker Bucket, truck stabilizers, Dumping bed. Chipper with open shoot, and safety bar.
