Just something to draw while I had a few minutes on a Sunday afternoon. View from a corner of our front porch.
Not totally happy with the result . . .

Construction, Week 37
Short and sweet for today's set, with our final pic taking a glance through the fence at the storefront, where the majority of activity was. At least one person popped back and forth out of the opening closest to my vantage point here, and beyond that you can see one person standing atop the overhang between the two vestibules and another operating a machine near him. I imagine even more people were inside as well, working on the interior: l_dawg has (cool) proof that some drywall has been installed here!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
ODC-Unexpected
Well this was a surprise. We do not have sunshine in our forecast at all today. But it has come out and the temperatures have soured to 44'F. The snow is melting!
This is what I spend my work days in front of. All five external monitors are driven by the macbook above, in a 5x1+1 portrait configuration.
Five because three was no longer enough at some point.
Portrait for more efficiency : less head turning, takes fewer desk space, better suited for web browsing, coding and documents.

The original G.I.Joe tank was a compact motorized tank ("MOtorized BAttle Tank"), with a spot for just a single figure in the Commander's cuppola, but its molded details suggested at least one hatch for additional crew in the hull. I didn't grow up with a MOBAT, and if I had it might loom more significantly in my mind. Instead, I look at the original toy and it seems frustratingly small and lacking - certainly a generation behind the much cooler looking Mauler.
The original MOBAT has a mid-Cold War look to it, like a sort of awkward representation of an MBT70 mixed with with a little M60. I wanted to make it look a lot less old fashioned, but similar enough to the original that it would be recognizable. So I kept some of the unusual aesthetic features of the original - like the tracks not quite running the full length of the hull, the cupola in the very middle of the turret, and the super wide base of the gun barrel. As another nod to the old-school roots of the MOBAT, I worked in some old dark gray, a sorely missed color, that Lego has phased out many years ago, that I don't get to use nearly as often as I'd like to.
The idea to make it modular came about when I was trying to think of other words to replace the redundant "motorized" in the original vehicle's name. And of course once it occurred to me, imagining it as a modular combat system was a whole lot of fun.
Of course I considered designing my MOBAT as a realistic (and much larger) MBT with a full interior for three or even four crew. In the end, I embraced the original toy concept of a decidedly small tank, and I've brought into into the 21st Century and explained its small size by making it unmanned.
I usually pride myself on fitting figs inside my vehicles, but building a tank without a crewed interior is much easier, and doing so allowed me to build my MOBAT to scale with some of my other early era Joe armor (it is smaller than the Mauler, but bigger than the Wolverine). I also was able to fit in a nifty roadwheel suspension system that I'm really pleased with that simply wouldn't have fit if I had insisted on fitting in a driver and a manned turret basket. An actual MBT with a full crew is something I've wanted to do for a while for my Joes, but they'll have to wait a while.
Bolton's last front engined buses had unusual full width cabs. There were seventeen of these Leyland Titan PD3A/2s delivered in 1962. Nine carried bodywork by East Lancs, whilst the remainder were bodied by Metro-Cammell. 169 (UBN 902) one of the East Lancs examples became SELNEC 6669 and later carried Greater Manchester Transport fleetnames. It is the sole survivor from both batches. Here 169 is seen inside St. Helens Transport Museum, St. Helens, Lancashire on June 19th 1994.
Fall/Winter migration is now in full swing along the Pacific Flyway. A friend and I took a leisurely drive through the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge and what a show it was! The White Fronted and Snow Geese as well as various ducks were there in numbers recorded at close to a million birds. This group of White Fronted Geese were tucked back into such a beautiful natural setting that I'm posting this shot with no editing outside of a conversion from RAW image.

Found some old photos from family trips while digging through an old hard drive from long ago.
Another find at the farm. This place has the best junk ever! Like all my most recent shots this was taken without a tripod. I am very thankful that photoshop has a align feature!

ODC 6/21/24 - Accomplishment
67008 on the front of the Mark 4 TfW rake still languishing in the sidings with no signs of going into service. 67020 on the rear of the Cardiff- Holyhead WAG on it's weekend break. Despite last nights flood around Cardiff last night , it got away 1 late and arrived at Chester 5 late, where it was cancelled. Presumably , the passengers transferred to the 1D92 Avanti Voyager which was already 18 late from Euston and was still 18 down at Holyhead. The WAG ran as ECS -5T96 arriving 23 late in Holyhead at 1100.
