Remember how I'd opined in late September about . . . .
"Constant traffic nowadays with hard material being trucked in and dumped in storage areas along The Slang/Rehills section of the river bank. Further work is now being undertaken to upgrade the protection of the riverbank edge with the laying down of extra stone material."
Well, for every action, there clearly is an equal and opposite reaction.
Time to move the soil on. Again.
I tell you, the company hiring out trucks for the movement of all this material must be rubbing their hands with glee.
But what do I know? Just an itinerant observer.
But there is huge increase in these heavy vehicles travelling up and down the Upper Dargle Road.
We've noticed a lot of dust and material lying on the roads now, even though the road is swept. There have been days when everything has been covered by a fine film of dust raised+dispersed. This happens when we don't get enough rain!

Given to my grandfather, James Cross, for his work during WWII. He was a volunteer fireman (or something like that) so he wasn't called up.
According Wikipedia, this probably isn't the original ribbon.

Now I'm ready to close my eyes
And now I'm ready to close my mind
And now I'm ready to feel your hand
And lose my heart on the burning sands
And now I wanna be your dog
And now I wenna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Well c'mon

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first week of July 2014. JONS Civil Engineering are the approved contractors here. Heavy machinery now appears on site, rows of sheetpile steel lengths are trucked in, carefully laid out, access ramp down to the riverbed is cut and graded, and mounds of hard-core of varying grades is stockpiled. Crawler cranes are assembled, hydraulic hammers and coupled generators are readied, and frames+girders are assembled prior to insertion of steel sheet piles. The continued sunny weather is a welcome relief for 'most' production work. Having erected the steel cross-beam frames, sections of which are welded for added rigidity, and then used to position/align the slotted 'Z' sheet piles, the guys then used what is known as a 'Dawson Sheet Pile Threader' to neatly interlock the wall of steel lengths. A very delicate, and dangerous task, involving the manhandling of steel lengths manipulated by the operator of a nearby crawler crane. Rain doesn't help!

Israeli soldiers stand guard near the Qalandia crossing between the West Bank and Jerusalem during clashes on March 17, 2010 with Palestinian protesters. Tensions over Jerusalem sparked the worst riots in years but are unlikely to ignite a new intifada, or uprising, as the Palestinian Authority appears determined to preserve calm. Graffiti on Israel's controversial separation barrier in the background includes a portrait of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
My final version. I didn't update the flash hider. I figured its good. I fixed the magazine, gave it a new caliber. etc... Im not an expert on calibers, so i cant tell you the name of the caliber i created. But It is pretty much a rifle cartridge with a pistol projectile. Anyway. it has a folding adjustable stock. Foregrip. Good for close quarters. Ok with medium range. Its a small projectile with a large amount of gun powder for a clean through and through wound for clean kills.
