After a scattered box of course thread drywall screws results in 6 flat tires on four different vehicles on the job site, it seems all hope of meeting another project deadline is lost.
Don't worry, Bridgestone Mobile Tire service has come to save the day.

I had planned to visit Bray at least twice a year but I failed to maintain this schedule which is a pity but to be honest, with one exception, not much has changed since my last visit. The flood defence project is the exception because the is no doubting the fact that progress has been made since my last visit but considering that it started back in 2012 I am sure that many locals are less than impressed.
The River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme is one of the key capital investment projects by Wicklow County Council and the Office of Public Works (OPW) with an investment of €40 million.
Works on site have been ongoing since 2012. The main contractor was SIAC construction Ltd. who were on site for two years before the company went into examinership. The contract was terminated by agreement following conciliation resulting construction activities effectively being suspended since November 2013.
Wicklow County Council is now continuing the construction with Tom Foley Management Ltd taking on the role of Construction Management Service Provider and back in July 2014, works recommenced on the River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
To date a number of stages have been completed or are ongoing but unfortunately I do not have exact details. However, my photographs may give you some idea as to what has been accomplished to date
The original purpose of the scheme was to protect the town of Bray from flooding from the River Dargle. The Works consisted of the design and construction of flood defences, river widening and regrading along the lower reaches of the River Dargle. The works extended over approximately 3.3 km of the river from the N11 Bridge to the DART Harbour Bridge. The flood defences were required to provide protection against a 1 in 100 year fluvial flood and 1 in 200 year tidal flood. The Works also included the design and construction of 7mx4m culvert adjacent to Bray Bridge, the only vehicular bridge in Bray Town [I did not know that], to act as a fourth arch to the bridge.
The Scheme comprised of a variety of flood defences including construction of new sections of earth embankments, demolition and rebuilding of river walls with extensive stone and timber/timber-type facing, channel excavation and regrading, and river bank strengthening. A range of landscape treatments in and adjacent to the river are proposed to mitigate the impacts of the scheme on the local environment along the river corridor.
If anyone from Bray wishes to comment please to do so.

Capital Dock is one of the largest mixed-use developments ever built in Ireland and it was completed towards the end of 2018 but I was unable to gain access to the completed project until Easter weekend 2019. The compex spans 4.8 acres, providing more than 690,000sq ft of new mixed-use space, including offices, retail and family units, as well as more than 1.5 acres of public park space.
Global investment bank JP Morgan and jobs site Indeed have committed to occupy all of the available office space, and are preparing their new premises for occupancy in 2019.
Nearly 200 family units will be available to rent this year, with a dedicated on-site concierge, resident lounges, cinema, professional gym, business suites and a chef’s kitchen. There is also be a landscaped park and square open to the public.
The project will welcome new retailers in the coming year, including a restaurant and bar with a terrace, a gourmet grocer, and additional food and beverage offerings.

A beautiful 1965 NASA-MTO photo of construction of the A2 Test Stand.
Since one or two (maybe) of you are wondering “What is “MTO?”, the following is the naming history of this facility:
- Mississippi Test Operations (MTO), as of 18 December 1961
- Mississippi Test Facility (MTF), as of 1 July 1965
- National Space Technology Laboratories (NSTL), as of 14 June 1974
- John C. Stennis Space Center (SSC), as of 20 May 1988.
The amount of detail/resolution within the image is seriously impressive, revealed by my generous 1200 dpi scan of it. Although there is greater than expected peripheral waviness due to the military-grade adhesive used to affix the caption on the verso, it doesn't detract from the photograph:
The referenced caption. The careless & glaringly erroneous nature of the mislabeling leads me to believe it to be of NASA origination.
Regardless, it was obviously meant for an internal audience:
“No. 7 you might want to use this sketch of the Saturn V which shows where the S-II and S-IC boosters fit into the picture.”
