Taking turns with the heating pad on the couch. We pretty much ran the thing nonstop while we were sick and now it’s just a feature of the couch.
The winters are cold in Saskatchewan so you better have central heating if you want people to attend church.
This is part of the Batoche National Historic Site in Saskatchewan.
Batoche, Saskatchewan was the site of the historic Battle of Batoche during the Northwest Rebellion of 1885. The battle resulted in the defeat of Louis Riel and his Métis forces by Major General Frederick Middleton and his Northwest Field Force. Batoche was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 1923. The visitor centre features a multimedia presentation about the history of the community and its inhabitants. There are several restored buildings with costumed interpreters who depict the lifestyles of the Métis of Batoche between 1860 and 1900. The sites include a North West Mounted Police encampment, a church and rectory complex, and a farm home.
Like mountains, the English Electric Type 4 created its own weather. Steam ejected from the train heating boiler rises into the cold air where it condenses and descends as a miniature rainstorm, leaving a puddle on the platform of King's Cross Station, London. It was a dull day and I had taken a tripod with me. The steam has blurred somewhat in the long exposure. The photograph was taken on Monday 3rd February 1975.

Levant Mine .
Levant Mine and Beam Engine is a National Trust property at Trewellard, Pendeen, near St Just, Cornwall, England, UK. Its main attraction is that it has the world's only Cornish beam engine still operated by steam on its original site. There is also a visitor centre, a short underground tour, and a cliff-top footpath that leads to Botallack Mine.
Since 2006, the area has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape.
The property is on the site of the former Levant Mine, established in 1820 and closed in 1930, where tin and copper ores were raised. The mine reached a depth of about 600 metres. It got the nickname "mine under the sea", because tunnels were driven up to 2.5 km from the cliffs under the sea.

37 108 sits coupled to 97 252 ETHEL-3 (Electric Train Heating Ex Locomotive no.3) or former class 25/3 no.25 314 if you prefer. They are in the station sidings at Fort William with sleeper stock off the overnight from London Euston. Despite being high summer the mountain of Stob Coire 771m is shrouded in low cloud beyond Loch Linnhe.
With the arrival of Mk3 sleepers on the West Highland Line and no suitable ETH fitted locomotives the ETHEL's were a stop gap measure until a fleet of class 37's were rebuilt with ETH capabilities and designated class 37/4. The ex class 25's should have carried ex locomotive numbers in the ADB968xxx range but instead were allocated departmental locomotive numbers in the class 97/2 range this despite not being able to work under their own power. Ethel 3's use in Scotland was from July 1983 until September 1986 when it initially moved south for use on steam hauled charters from London to provide electric train heat but several more moves followed before it found itself out of use and dumped at Inverness. Withdrawl came on 18.11.1993 after just over 10 years service and the end came in August 1994 when it was cut up at M.C. Metals Ltd, Springburn, Glasgow.
37 108's career after leaving service on the West Highland line saw it move from Eastfield TMD in north Glasgow to the southside of the Clyde and Motherwell shed in April 1986 where it was soon renumbered 37 325 and into the dedicated Ravenscraig Steelworks iron ore train pool gaining the name 'Lanarkshire Steel' in the process. In September 1989 it reverted to its previous identity as 37 108 still based at Motherwell before leaving Scotland for good in 1991 initially for Stratford in London before a stint at Tinsley in Sheffield. From September 1996 it was stored unserviceable and new owner EWS authorised component recovery at Wigan Springs Branch in September 1998 despite its withdrawl date being listed later as 10/12/99 by then just a paper exercise. It's fate seemed sealed as destined for little more than scrap at Wigan but it was rescued by the Type Three Traction group in January 2000 and moved to Carnforth WCR Co. depot for safe storage. It survives to this day in private ownership and is currently to be found at Crewe Heritage Centre.

I would like you to join me into the early history of the Russian automobile industry.
Russia knew a few automobile manufacturers in the first quarter of the 20th Century, (thanks Anton VG for the lacking info) but until the 1920s vehicle industry in general was mainly limited to utility and agricultural vehicles, and for transport of goods and raw materials.
Contacts with Ford offered better quality trucks like the GAZ-AA truck (or NAZ-AA as it was called in the first production year). Later also a passenger car was developed, the GAZ-A Sedan (or NAZ-A).
This image is taken from a set of twelve 1980s postcards about the history of the Russian automobile. It shows the 7-passenger ZIS-101 limousine sedan, which was more or less the successor of the experimental L-1 sedan (see previous pictures). The 101 was technically based on the Buick 33-90, although the body was redesigned by GAZ car designer Valentin Brodskiy. Budd Company, Philadelphia, US made the machinery and stamping equipment.
The ZIS-101 was the first high class production passenger car in the Sovjet Union. It had all kinds of luxury details like a glass compartment dividing window, a thermostat and car heating.
A 4-door convertible was added in 1938: the ZIS-102 (till 1940).
About 8000 101/101A sedans were built.
The ZIS 101/101A series was replaced by the ZIS-110 range.
5766 cc L8 Buick engine.
Performance: 90 bhp.
2550 kg.
Production ZIS-101 series: 1936-1939/1939-1941.

It's 1149 and once the MCHAS cleared, Lenox was able to run traffic that had stacked up. As the Gateway Eastern job rolls north towards Wood River, a southbound NS freight from Decatur has gotten a signal and starts to pull.

Been trying to come up with newer angles for the dragon in Diagon Alley. A fisheye would have done wonders here, but an ultra-wide isn't terrible.
Linen and lace
Mornings are still chilly but afternoons are warm. I go from a blanket and heating pad to as little as possible.
It’s getting to be that time of year where I wear as little as possible. If I’m covered, it has to be fabrics that breathe, like linen, cotton, and silk. Of course, just wearing a top made of holes works too.

I've been showing you guys the tacos at Taco Joints in Dallas, but decided to make my own this night. I didn't cook the meat from scratch. I bought the pork ready to eat and heated it in the skillet. I made the tacos out of fresh tortillas by heating them in a hot skillet on both sides, added the meat and cheese, folded the tacos over to get crisp on both sides, and added the chopped veggies. Oh my, they were good - better than the ones at Velvet Taco. It was a great dinner. It's quick and easy to make. I don't know why I don't make them more often.
The sun sets over a section of the Blue Lagoon which is located in the Svartsengi geothermal field, about 2.5 mile (4 km) north of the village of Grindavík. The location's name, Svartsengi, means "black field" in Icelandic and is appropriate given that the station is located on a 800 year old basaltic lava flow called Illahraun. The water in the photo is discharge from the geothermal plant. The first phase of the electric power station was built in 1976. It was the world's first geothermal power plant that produced both electric and hot water for teleheating (district heating). Such systems distribute heat generated in a centralized location for residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water heating. Water discharge from the plant was released into the fracture filled lava field. Unexpectedly, silica quickly sealed the fractures and vesicles and pools of water formed in the low spots with in the black volcanic field. Waste water containing sulfur, silica, salts and algae was building up in the lava flow due to mistakes and miscalculations on the part of the Utility Company. The power company fenced the area off but its own workers would soak in the waters. One of them had psoriasis. After some time of bathing in the muddy pools outside of his work place his condition began to improve at a speed so alarming that it made his doctor curious. The doctor began a research on the water. He found out that it was not only non-toxic, it also had massive health benefits for people suffering of many kinds of skin ailments. In 1981, It became known as Bláa Lónið, The Blue Lagoon, after people started bathing in it when its supposed healing powers were popularized. In 1992, the Blue Lagoon company was established, and the bathing facility was opened for the public. Now advertised as a spa, its prices are high even for Iceland.The water shown in this photo is outside the swimming area alone a trail that goes around part of the flooded basalt flow. The white lining is sinter, silica that has precipitated out of the water. The water's milky color is due to silica that is in solution. At the source, the temperature of the geothermal fluid in the wells is superheated to 240°C (464°F). However the water that comes out of the power plant in to the Blue Lagoon averages 37-39 °C (99-102°F).
Studies show that over 80% of the tourists that visit Iceland go to the Blue Lagoon. It is considered by many to be one of the top natural wonders in Iceland. In fact in its "Wonders of the World" edition, National Geographic listed the Blue Lagoon in Iceland as one of the most impressive wonders of the world. A wonder, it may be but natural it is not. The hot water may be natural, the silica is natural but the silica rich warm water ponded in the craggy basalt flow is not natural or normal. What is a wonder is why the power utility was allowed to dump its mineral filled water in the natural environment. That would lead to outrage and fines in other countries. My family really enjoyed the Blue Lagoon. I loved the photos I took there but it is not a natural hot spring or fed by natural hot springs. It is a power plant!

45116 rests in the bay platform at Nottingham station, 16th January 1977.
Locomotive History
45116 was built as D47 at Derby works and entered traffic in 1961. In 1973 the Midland Main Line services started to migrate from steam heating to electric heating of the coaching stock and D47 was one of fifty class 45 locomotives selected to have its steam heating boiler replaced with electric train heating equipment (a Brush BL100-30 ETH auxiliary alternator) and emerged from Derby Works in 1974 as 45116. It would give twenty five years service before withdrawal in December 1986 and was broken up by Vic Berry, Leicester in September 1988.
Praktica LTL, High Speed Ektachrome
This decrepit Shuangyashan Mining Railway's 'QJ' Class 2-10-2 No.3594 had clearly seen better days and was providing steam heating for the workshops at Changan, and was photographed there on 1st January 2001. A visit to the railway during the following year found this locomotive very much in active service on the main line, employed on some of the railway's passenger services.
