Day 64
Today I decided to go outside again. At 41 °C it wasn't a very good idea.
I basically burned my legs quite a bit just to get this pose...
PRESS THAT L, you won't regret it.
Today was perhaps the greatest day ever, I fangirled so bad over tiny things and getting to know more people on Flickr is just amazing.
Several omega-shaped piping expansion loops are apart of this insulated steam line in order to compensate for thermal expansion expected with service temperatures at about 400 degrees F. These omega- style loops are unusual to see in modern units because it is much more common now for them to be fabricated from straight pipe and elbows into a ‘U’ shape. This particular loop exists in an area of the plant that was first erected in the 1920s-30s.
You can select the width and depth of the 'U' that makes up the expansion joint to suit the expected growth. Regular steel expands at a rate of about 6.3 x 10E-6 inches per inch length and per degree F. So if a pipe 100 feet long heats up from 70F up to 450F it would grow almost 3" in length. In the field, those loops might be spaced about 150 to 200 feet apart on the average.
SET 2 – Oxford Kroger, 2020 Remodel/Expansion
Taking a bit of a closer look at the Choice Meats half of the counter in this shot. It’s interesting to me that the light was still on in the back portion of seafood, but turned off everywhere else in the abandoned department – as you would expect to be the case.
Notice the prominent posterboards advertising smartphone sanitizer, a total steal at just $19.99 (!). Things like that were definitely rising in prominence around the time these pictures were taken; in fact, this was my first store photography visit during COVID following my tour of the (Remixed) Stateline Kroger in March of 2020, some two months earlier. We had just finished moving the stuff out of my on-campus apartment (having finally been allowed back on campus to access the place and complete that task), and the City of Oxford had instated a mask ordinance, which we had to comply with both on campus and anywhere else in public, like this Kroger. Given that I didn’t leave the house much in April, this was probably my first (of many…) store visits with a mask – and it was very strange. And hot.

As a light bulb will suddenly glow with an incandescent brilliance shortly before burning out, so Ladvale, the Dursley-based Gloucestershire independent, underwent a dazzling expansion followed by sudden disappearance. This patch of unfenced ground at the roadside had come to the firm, I think, with the acquisition of Applegate's of Stone. It was one of many small coach operators bought out by Ladvale in its takeover frenzy of the late 70s. Not unnaturally this had resulted in an extremely heterogenous fleet, relic of the varied vehicle-buying policies of the former companies.
So what was this? Plaxton body obviously. No badge, nor even the imprint of one that had been nicked by a souvenir hunter. I'd thought it a Leyland Leopard, probably because there was no sign of that AEC telltale, the instrument binnacle; but of course the steering position was too low for it to be visible, if present. So, I tried the long shot of a search on the registration number at Bus Lists on the Web ...long shot because I've usually found it a fruitless exercise. Result this time though: the vehicle is given as an AEC Reliance new in March 1962 to Heaps, Leeds. Not a familiar name, and I don't know the chain of ownership linking Heaps to Ladvale.
The photograph was taken on Thursday 21st June 1979. Around the corner on the A38 I'd left my bus parked at the side of the road. Having my camera with me and finding myself without passengers, I'd taken advantage of the opportunity to get a couple of shots.

KYLES is a rare survivor, a representative of Clyde shipbuilding dating from the 1870s - a period of expansion for both the shipbuilding on the west coast of Scotland and for Glasgow as a whole. She was launched on Tuesday 12 March 1872 at the Merksworth yard of John Fullarton & Co of Paisley. Her engines were supplied and fitted by Wm. King & Co of the Dock Engine Works, Glasgow. Her first register entry in Lloyds lists her as a 90A1 flush deck lighter with an iron hull and a pitch pine deck. She was fitted with a single pitch pine mast and derrick and carried a single suit of sails.
She was registered in Glasgow and her first owner was Stuart Manford of 24 Oswald Street in the city. KYLES was a basic cargo coaster, typical of the many built by the smaller yards on the Clyde. Manford worked her as a tender for the firth of Clyde fishing fleet. The fishing fleet tenders collected the catch from the fishing boats and transported the fish to railheads on the coast allowing the fleet itself to remain profitably at the fishing grounds. In 1881 Manford sold KYLES to William Vietch, a chemical manufacturer resident in Creiff in Perthshire. Only a few years later he sold her on to another owner in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Records show that KYLES was bought and sold several times over the next fifteen years, although her port of registry remained Glasgow. It was not until 1900 that this was altered
and she was registered at Hull.
Only a year later, she was purchased by a grocer and corn dealer from Pontypridd in Wales, who was the first in a succession of owners in the South Wales area. From 1919 to 1921 she was working in the East Kent and Thames waters, before once again being bought by a Welsh owner - this time a Cardiff tug master. During all these years she had been used for the purpose she had been built for and carried heavy and general cargoes on short coastal voyages. The first major change in KYLES’s structure was made in 1921 when she was converted to work as a sand dredger in the Bristol Channel, lifting sand and gravel for the building industries.
By the outbreak of the Second World War, KYLES seems to have been taken out of service and de-registered. She was surveyed in 1942 while laid up on the Glamorganshire canal, and was found to be in poor condition. She was acquired by a salvage contractor and sold on to Ivor P Langford, a ship owner and ship repairer based at Sharpness near Gloucester. Langford bought her in 1944 and had her repaired and structurally altered, removing the dredging equipment to return her to a modernised cargo form. The alterations were substantial and included enlarging the forecastle and poop and adding improved and expanded crew quarters. KYLES was reregistered at Gloucester.
Members of the Langford family recollect that he had a particular affection for KYLES. She was the only vessel in his fleet that he did not rename, possibly because he respected the fact that she had managed to keep her original name for such a long time. Langford worked her as a steamer in the Bristol Channel for a number of years, then in 1953 had her converted from steam to a diesel engine. In 1960 she was converted structurally once again to function as a sludge tanker for dumping industrial waste in the Bristol Channel. Eventually she was downgraded even from this lowly work and became a storage hulk for the waste, which was taken out for dumping by another, more modern, tanker.
The Langford family had by this time retained a long association with KYLES and were keen to ensure that a vessel of such age and varied history should be preserved. There were moves to establish a maritime museum at Gloucester but in the meantime the Langfords accepted an offer from Captain Peter M Herbert of Bude, who had himself a long career in the coasting trade. KYLES became a celebrated vessel in the Bude area.
During the early 1980s the West of Scotland Boat Museum Association, precursor of the Scottish Maritime Museum, was established and came to the notice of Peter Herbert, who offered to sell KYLES to the group. On 8 November 1984 the Scottish Maritime Museum became the 24th registered owner of the vessel and KYLES was reregistered in Glasgow, 112 years after her first appearance in the records.
In 1996 funding for a full restoration of the vessel became available. It was decided to recognise KYLES’ long and varied career in the restoration and that the most suitable appearance to restore her to was to take her back to her 1953 refit when she was changed from steam to diesel power. Work began in 1997 to strip out the sludge tanks, reinstate the original hatch and hatch cover and replicate the mast and derrick. Her wheelhouse had been removed in the 1970s and this was replicated from old photographs of the vessel. Work was completed in 1999 and after sea trials KYLES made a well publicised arrival back to her birthplace on the river Clyde where she formed part of the displays at Clydebuilt, the Scottish Maritime Museum at Braehead. Now relocated to Irvine and still on the water at the museum pontoons.
In 2020-21, KYLES was repainted and repaired thanks to the "Keep the Kyles Afloat" public fundraising campaign.
It is believed to be the oldest Clyde-built vessel still afloat.

Last year I started making Starter Kits for Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack. I'm expanding the options this year. The Expansion Pack contains one Frame with a "Soldier" loadout like the ones in the Starter Kit. It has two Artillery Attachments and an extra Spotting Attachment. It also has two Melee Attachments and an extra Defense Attachment. As before, all Attachments are color coded to the dice they represent.
WEEK 43 – TM Relocation Revisited
Skipping back down the furniture department, we arrive at the section of the back of the store where, I believe, Dressbarn’s rear wall was prior to Tuesday Morning’s expansion of the building. At least, that’s how I’m interpreting those floor scars! This would also fit with what we saw of the interior during construction…

WEEK 26.2 – Lakeland Kroger, Set I
To the right of the “welcome” sign and all the “At Your Service” frames, you may have seen this little picture (reflecting the store's “9025” address numbers from the exterior windows, in the previous pic). I'm glad I chose to take a closer look at this, because it actually details the store's expansion! You can zoom in if you want to read the full thing, but the first sentence is, I think, the most relevant: “This store expansion project remodeled the existing store, and increased the floor area by 40%.” All of this work took place in 2013. At the bottom of the poster, you can see a rendering of the full store exterior.

I'm almost out of room to grow on my easel after the latest modular addition, the canal. The overall dimensions of this are now 96x178 studs, making it the largest diorama I've ever made on a fixed base. The canal is barely roughed in, and will be developed further. I saved the hotel and the federal building, and will reuse them. I will also build the Canal Street Bridge, a strategic objective over a natural barrier for the ground forces to skirmish over.

WEEK 33 – Tuesday Morning Relocation
My next stop behind the store came after skipping the full month of June, in which they evidently completed the entire expansion as a result :P l_dawg2000 has an ongoing album documenting this relocation as well, so maybe he'll have some better views of the work in progress. From me, though, we're just gonna have to settle for this. The yellow railing to the left of the store is the aforementioned Petco dock that prevented Tuesday Morning from expanding any further outward. The right pic, from this past Sunday, shows the back has been awarded new paint, doors, gutters, and electrical boxes.
