Up at 4am for a trip to Openlands, my first in 2 years. The car told me -4f, by the time we got to the lake it was -11f and my phone was telling me that my car battery was low. It wasn't but I think the car computer didn't wanna be awake and working in those temperatures, my camera was telling me the same by the end of the morning!
At these temperatures electronics don't operatre quite so well. All problems of digital photography that film didn't have, batteries don't last very long at these temperatures. I took maybe 30 shots and burned through two fully charged batteries - admittedly the Sony has small batteries. My LCD on the camera was completely frozen from my breath, multiple black lines started to show where the liquid crystal was no longer liquid. That was a bit alarming, but the camera continued to shoot just fine and the LCD recovered once returned to the warmth of home.
Of course then there was my falls, the first of which after falling I sat there looking at my camera and a big hole where the circular polarizing glass was supposed to be on the front of my lens. Luckily the glass had popped out still in its steel frame, didn't break and I was able to pop it back inplace - my polarizer is one of those rare items that sports 'Made in England' logo :-), made me proud!
Second fall I managed to chip one of my netrual grad filters, but it was still functional.
I managed to bruise my elbom, bang my knee, but the ankle was fine!
At the end of the morning I came away with some shots, and apart from the filter everything including me was in on piece, time for breakfast!
I was looking forward to breakfast, the previous weekend the guys had been to the same breakfast joint and Willard Clay had tried to extract the breakfast potatoe recipe from the cook without success. This week Will came armed with a framed and matted print of the lake from the previous weeks shoot. He succeeded in exchanging the print for the recipe!
This was my first time to Openland in a while, but the guys were all surprised to see that the lake had finally frozen over, just 6 days earlier it was free flowing water, kind of amazing that it ws now frozed all the way to the horizon!
Also nice to meet a flickr photographer for the first time that I follow rj-bj!
Prime focus astrophotobraphy adatper with Raspberry Pi Camera module mounted on a Raspberry Pi computer. The lens left inplace for testing will be removed to allow the prime focus image to fall directly on the image sensor.
A very odd working for a Sunday on 45, inplace for a Streetlite, which are spending more and more time off road.
This bus has had its rear end fixed, unlike sister 6127 previously today, which is under repair of a serious incident whereby the engine bay fell onto the road.
The cover fitted inplace. You can see the odd lock at the top. Originally they were mounted at the same point on both sides, however when the old Autofare system was in use it was found that the ticket machine would have to be taken off the bus to remove the cover. This Mod was carried out in their first major doc, which meant it should not really have a lav pan on the top lock as Lothian never went to the trouble of fitting them. I however did as it looks much better having one
The original Jeanie Johnston was bought by Tralee, Co. Kerry-based merchants John Donovan & Sons, as a cargo vessel and traded successfully between Tralee and North America for a number of years. The trading pattern was to bring emigrants from Ireland to North America, and then to bring timber back to Europe.
[edit] Famine voyages
She made her maiden emigrant voyage from Blennerville, Co. Kerry to Quebec on April 24, 1848, with 193 emigrants on board, as the effects of the Famine ravaged Ireland. Between 1848 and 1855, the Jeanie Johnston made 16 voyages to North America, sailing to Quebec, Baltimore, and New York. On average, the length of the transatlantic journey was 47 days. The most passengers she ever carried was 254, from Tralee to Quebec on April 17, 1852. To put this number in perspective, the replica ship is only licensed to carry 40 people.
Despite the number of passengers, and the long voyage, no crew or passenger lives were ever lost on board the Jeanie Johnston. This is generally attributed to the captain, James Attridge, not overloading the ship, and the presence of a qualified doctor, Richard Blennerhassett, on board for the passengers.
In 1855, the ship was sold to William Johnson of North Shields in England. In 1858, en route to Quebec from Hull with a cargo of timber, she became waterlogged. The crew climbed into the rigging, and after nine days clinging to their slowly-sinking ship, they were rescued by a Dutch ship, the Sophie Elizabeth. Even in her loss, she maintained her perfect safety record.
[edit] Replica
Ship Jeanie Johnston at River Liffey, Dublin, Ireland.
The building of the replica ship began with in-depth research in 1993, and culminated in the completion of the vessel in 2002. An international team of young people, linking Ireland North and South, the United States, Canada and many other countries, built the replica under the supervision of experienced shipwrights.
The ship was designed by Fred Walker former Chief Naval Architect with the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England. The recreation project was modelled closely on that of the 17th century ship, the Batavia.
The ship is built with larch planks on oak frames. To comply with current international maritime regulations, some concessions to modernity had to be made. She has two Caterpillar main engines, two Caterpillar generators, and an emergency generator that is located above the waterline in the forward deckhouse. She is fully compliant to the highest standards of modern ocean-going passenger ships, with steel water-tight bulkheads, down-flooding valves, and fire-fighting equipment.
When several of the oak frames were inplace and planking was being applied, the density of the oak was checked and the floatation levels estimated. These checks revealed that the ship would float higher than anticipated in the water, causing stability problems. To rectify the problem, several centimetres were cut from the top of the frames, and a steel keel was attached beneath the original oak keel. This is the reason that the Jeanie Johnston draws more water than most ships of her size. One significant consequence of this is that the current draft severely limits the ports into which the ship may enter, ports the original ship would have been able to visit, e.g. Nantucket.
In 2002 the replica Jeanie Johnston sailed from Tralee to Canada and the USA. She has taken part in the Tall Ships Race and is currently operating as a sail training ship.
Other notable Irish tall ships or sail training ships are the Asgard II, the Dunbrody, the Lord Rank(N.I.) and the Creidne(I.N.S.).
A wooden plaque is mounted on the foremast listing some of the many people involved in the physical building of the ship. Many people gave time, money and support to the project.

The MG K3 Magnette is considered one of the all time greats. Basicall a K series chassis, with a supercharged engine machined and balanced crank, straight cut bevel gears for the cam drive and a Number 9 Powerplus blower was driven from crankcase front via a reduction gear.with 120bhp and driven through an ENV pre-selector gearbox. 1933 cars have slab tank styling, 1934 versions have a pointed tail, different head, steel brake parts inplace of elektron ones and a Roofs type Marshall supercharger blowing at 10-13psi.
The types greatest wins were the 1933 TT with Nuvolari at the wheel, two consecutive Junior Coppa Acerbos and the 1933 BRDC 500 miles race at 106.53 mph
XBV 226 is a well executed Replica and is based on a KD series chassis, this was the four-seat version of the K3 and the car was exported to Australia on 2nd June 1934 as a rolling chassis Using the KD as a base meant that apart from shortening and modifying the cruciform, no other chassis modifications were required. From 1934 to 2004 the car passed through a number of different owners before being acquired by a prominent Melbourne based vintage car collector who decided to embark on a project to produce a K3 replica to exacting stanards and bills ammouting to over £ 50,000 after the purchase of the KD The engine is 1432cc and was re-built to be ‘fast road’ specification it was fitted with a nitride Crankshaft by Crankshaft rebuilders, Rods by Argo with ARP bolts and pistons by Special Piston Servicing’s, plus an exact replica of the factory cam. and a Toyota based supercharger. Being a ‘late’ car the pre-selector gearbox is also fitted with a conventional disc clutch between the box and engine, which was intended to give a smoother take up. The gearbox was completely stripped and re-built during the restoration. The body style follows the 1933 ‘Slab Tank’ as appose to the 1934 cars which had a boat tail,

Better Brownies..These brownies were nice and fudgey and had a shiney crackled top. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips inplace of nuts. Next time I might add both the nuts and chocolate chips.
Recipe:
Bul-go-gi (Korean BBQ Beef) with Rice and Lettuce
Serves 4
Ingredients // Amount
Boneless Beef Short Rib, Sliced thin* // 1 lb
Yellow Onion, Diced // 1 each
Garlic, Minced // 6 cloves
Soy Sauce* // 1 Cup
Rice Vinegar* // ¼ Cup
Sesame Seed Oil // ¼ Cup
Asian Pear, Puree* // 1 Each
Sesame Seeds, Toasted // 1 Tablespoon
Garnish
Scallions, Sliced on a bias // 2 Stalks
Accompaniments
Rice, Cooked // 1/2 Cup
Bib Lettuce, Washed and Separated // 2 Heads
Method of Preparation
1.Slice beef short rib as thinly as possible
a.To assist with this, place beef in freezer for 20 minutes before slicing
b.Ask your butcher to do it if you are not confident in your knife skills
2.Mix together all remaining ingredients and add to beef
3.Marinate at least one hour, preferably overnight
4.Dump marinating beef into a strainer to drain off marinade
a.If this is not done, the beef will be extremely salty
5.Separate beef into two batches
6.Heat oil in a cast iron pan until smoking
a.Any large non-stick sauté pan will work also
b.Note: DO NOT USE OLIVE OIL!!!! Grape-seed oil or canola oil are recommended
7.Add beef to hot pan, moving constantly to cook evenly
8.Cook until beef is well done, usually no more than 5 minutes
a.If you find the beef sitting in a liquid, you either (1) did not drain the beef well enough, (2) the pan was not hot enough, or (3) put too much beef in the pan at once.
9.Repeat with second batch
10.Serve with rice and lettuce
a.Each place a small portion of rice with some bulgogi in lettuce, roll, and eat
*Substitutions
1.Beef Short ribs can be substituted by any tender cut of beef: tenderloin, strip steak, sirloin tip, basically any cut that would be easy to grill
2.Tamari can be substituted for soy sauce for a lower sodium option
3.Cider vinegar can be used in place of rice vinegar
4. 1 Cup of Sugar, honey, a whole pear, a whole apple, or any combinaton of the previous, may be used inplace of the Asian pear
We are slowly getting there. The destination screen wiring has been completed and tied up out of the way. This allowed me to install the plastic trim which goes from the Dodge front to the Alexander roof. The black plastic upper quarter trim panels are also inplace but they do not fit well at all and will need some attention to get perfect. Most of the top half of the front will soon be covered in carpet.
I moved the model on by removing and replacing the front destination box as the box on 101 is narrower than a standard Y-type. I added a new dash and gave it an initail shaping. The roof has also been bonded back in with the roof vents in the right location.
The biggest work was building 4 sets of doors. These were made from laminates of 10thou plastic card for strength. The doors on 101 are narrower than a normal Y-type and new door surrounds were made to take up the space. The door units were sanded to fit the model and glued inplace.
your description is correct all but 1 thing. the production tractors did not have a ford model a transmission. the expirimental model Y from 1937, was powered by a 2cyl novo engine, it had a ford model A tranny and steering. the Y never made it into production and none of the expirimental units are known to exist. The model 62 was the Pre model L production tractor. built in 1937 i belive it had a hercules engine like early model L's and no longer used ford trannys or steering parts. the unstyled ls came out in 1938 and styled l's appeared in 1939. john deere started using there own engine inplace of the herculese in 1941 and that same year the larger LA was introduced. and the LI i belive was introduced in 1939
The interior os the bus looks a lot smaller with the new bulkheads inplace. I like this shot as it highlights the dark smoked panels which make up the top half of the bulkheads. I was very surprised at how large the exit door apature is. The bus looks so much better and is unique in having this feature so I am really happy its back in place.
Took a long time to get the Walgreens drug rack emptied and moved, but now the curio cabinet is in it's final spot. Putting Galactic Heroes on top of the Billys so less will get put away.
Well I was rather high today on Evostick fumes.... Must remeber respirator. Impact adhesive was applied to the roof panels and left to go off. Once dry the new egg trays (grey plastic) which was also coated in glue were pressed into place. Here you can see the three rear most trays are inplace. Its safe to say they are not going to come off anytime soon.

All the anti vibration egg trays are bonded into inplace. A few little jobs before we can get panels made. Removal and safe storage of the interior lights is one for a start.
Die KriemhildmĂ¼hle ist eine historische WindmĂ¼hle in Xanten und die einzige MĂ¼hle des Niederrheins, welche täglich betrieben wird.
Erbaut wurde die MĂ¼hle als Teil der Xantener Stadtbefestigung in Form eines Wach- und Wehrturms (als sogenannte BärwindmĂ¼hle) am Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts. Die TĂ¼rme, die im bis 1648 dauernden DreiĂŸigjährigen Krieg stark beschädigt wurden, dienten bis zum Ende des Siebenjährigen Krieges 1763 als Wohnraum fĂ¼r Bedienstete der Stadt. So wurde die KriemhildmĂ¼hle zu diesem Zeitpunkt als Nachtwächterturm bezeichnet, da dort die Nachtwächter der Stadt einquartiert worden waren.
In der Folgezeit wurden die TĂ¼rme aus KostengrĂ¼nden verkauft und zu groĂŸen Teilen von den Käufern abgerissen. 1778 wurde der Nachwächterturm an den Kaufmann Gerhard SchleĂŸ verkauft, welcher die Wände des Turms erneuern lieĂŸ und ein Gartenhaus im Turm einrichtete. 1804 baute er den Turm zu einer Ă–lmĂ¼hle in Form einer 19,3 m hohen WindmĂ¼hle um. Bald darauf verkaufte er die MĂ¼hle an einen MĂ¼ller, worauf die KriemhildmĂ¼hle zu einer GetreidemĂ¼hle wurde und später in den Besitz der Stadt Xanten gelangte. 1843 wurde der Abriss der MĂ¼hle und des nahe gelegenen Klever Tors vom Xantener Stadtrat abgelehnt, nachdem zuvor bereits groĂŸe Teile der Stadtbefestigung abgerissen worden waren.
Seit 1992 wird in der MĂ¼hle wieder Brot gebacken und direkt dort wie auch auf Wochenmärkten in der Umgebung verkauft. Die MĂ¼hle kann während der Ă–ffnungszeiten besichtigt werden.
Die FlĂ¼gel der MĂ¼hle sind mit einem Segelgatterwerk alter holländischer Art ausgestattet. Seit 1992 sind die FlĂ¼gel mit einer Fokwiek nach dem Patent des Holländers P.L. FauĂ«l (1891–1992) ausgestattet.
Ihren Namen verdankt die KriemhildmĂ¼hle Kriemhild aus der Nibelungensage. Eine MĂ¼hle, die den Namen Siegfried von Xantens trug, existierte ebenfalls, diese ist jedoch nicht mehr in Betrieb.

The History of the
Kriemhild-Mill: During the 15th century people converted the palisades around the town to brick-build walls, towers and gates. The northern town border became the most
fortified with a wall high about 7m!
The fortification of Xanten was heavily damaged by the war of
1618-1648, and the township grew poor. Merchands, goods
and mob invaded through the demolished circle of walls. The
township lost by this way a lot of its customs-income.
With that reason they rebuild the walls, unfortunately without
restoring the public balance.
On the wall there were still existing several small watchtowers, which got to used as prison (Thefts Tower). At least there was a Nightwatchmans-, a Swineherds-, a Poor-People-HunterTower. Chasing the poor was one of the famoust tasks of the police. As beeing public employees they got the right of a public dwelling. Thus they had to live in one of the dark and moisturious towers.
After the war of 1756-1763 the township was that poverished
that they sold the towers to interested citisans. Those who
only wanted to use the bricks, had to close the wall inplace to
prevent invasion of `problems`. The policemans tower was
wrecked, the Swineherds Towers is still til nowadays used as dwelling. In 1778 the Nightwatchmans Tower was sold to the merchand Gerhard Schless. He converted it to a garden-house. His son Heinrich decided to use it commercially by constructing a windmill with oilmill machinery. Therefor he erected on the torso a conical body with galery and a boatshaped hat. Later he sold this mill to the family of Hermann, millers famous arround in the lower Rhine. They sold it to the merchand Böll, who ran a ropery at this place. He again endowed it to the township in the early years of the 19th century.
Mills erect on former watchtowers (as in Rees, Kempen,
Zons) were called "Bear-Mills" because of their typical shape
like a standing bear.

Well today is the last day of the 31 days of October challenge. Have to say that I have quite enjoyed it and it's certainly got me out shooting much more than I would have done normally and as such I've got a number of decent shots. It's not something I'd like to do for much longer though as there were days where I just didn't really want to go out and take a photo (mainly the grey days).
I think I'd probably prefer that I only had to post a photo a day for the month of photos taken that month as there are a number of shots I've taken but couldn't post inplace of something else.
Overall though, a thoroughly positive experience and has really helped inspire me.
Sallie Fox was twelve years old when she traveled with the Rose emigrant caravan. Though everyone called her Sallie, she inscribed her proper name, "Sarah Fox." Sallie was shot with an arrow during the attack at the Colorado River, but she survived. See if you can find Sallie's inscription to the left of the monitoring cable, above the inscription "CA." You will find Rose's inscription to your right in the small cove.

Some of the high carvings here have the letters "U.P.R.," carved by workers on the survey crew. The Santa Fe Railroad twenty-five miles to the north rerouted travelers ending El Morro's place as a stopover on the route west. Imagine if the railroad had come through ere. Would the Interstate now pass by El Morro?

I boutgh a hoover attchement off E-bay for my dyson and chopped the brush off the end leaving the hose adaptor. I took a rip top Tuna tin and after eating the contents and washing it out took my dremel and cut a hole on the side for the hose attchement. The hose adaptor snapped into the tin and it was bomded in place and then the join covered in milliput to reinforce it and make sure it was air tight. I then cut and folded a grill over the top of the tuna tin. The grill held its self inplace but to seal it I applied duct tape.
Since the item I was vac forming was small I also added further masks on the top to reduce the area and up the force of the hoover.
I finally fixed it! I made two benches (like the one on the top of the picture) about 3 years ago. Actually, I'm exactly 2 months off since the earliest picture I could find is dated to Jul 27, 2013.
Anyway, the bench was crap, but it was also one of my first projects, barring flimsy bike ramps made from some scrap wood that was picked out of a dumpster like 12 years ago. When I first built the benches, I didnt use a single drop of glue. Probably a combination of not knowing how useful glue is, not knowing where we had any glue, and not wanting to get my hands all sticky. I'm leaning towards the first part since I remember thinking that more screws = more sturdiness. Taking apart the legs on just ONE bench...yielded a little over 60 screws iirc. Thats ridiculous.
The legs on the first bench were also pretty bad. I made they WAY too bulky and compared to the footprint of the legs, the part that actually touches the seating area is pitifully small. This led to a fun problem of the top of the bench rocking forward and back when you move around on it. Another fun problem? The legs are way too far from the edges. If someone sat down on one end and was heavier than the person on the other end, the lighter person would get airborne. These were supposed to be benches, not teeter-totters.
~The Fix~
The fix can be seen (underside view) in the bottom left corner of the picture. The two vertical legs were squared up nicely so that all 3 faces touching the bench would sit nice and flush. The 4 legs are the original 4 beams that made up the original 2 legs. Way too complicated. The bar spanning the width of the table is held inplace with mortise and tennons that were made with my new tennon jig. The fun part is that the horizontal braces were not actually 1.5". They were on one side, but not the other. Rookie mistake assuming that 2x4s are the dimensions they claim or what you expect. I mean, they're only off by like 1/16", so it isn't too big of a deal. They do however push the legs out about 1/8", but oh well, it sits nice and flat and doesn't wobble - even on hardwood floors!
The diagonal bars did give me a bit of trouble. I was trying to figure out how to do a 45 degree mortise and tennon, but figured that would take more time than I wanted to invest (both benches need to be fixed before I can build other things) and frankly would probably have been overkill. I considered a double biscuit joint, but my biscuit jointer seems to be off a bit and I didnt bother fiddling with it too much. So, they're just 45 degree butt joints with a 3" screw going in. Oh ya, all the boards are screwed in - even the mortise and tennon joint has a screw on either side. They're not great by themselves, but with glue and nice joints, they work great!
All in all, I think I did a good job fixing the bench. It still squeaks a little bit because the pin nails holding the particle board to the top are coming out a bit and what do you know, no glue was used... It's going to rain tomorrow, but Sunday I'll need to fix the second bench, THEN I can move on to some birthday gifts and finally that surprise project that I've been planning for like 6 months.!
