Ironmaking blast furnaces require large amounts of air to be blown into the bottom of the furnace to intensify the combustion, the same way a blacksmiths forge needs air blown into it to make it hotter. That air blast, probably 40,000 CFM at around 25 psi, was provided originally by blowing engines. These were injected with natural gas and the large flywheels supplied kinetic energy. These were also used to generate electricity. These engines were in constant operation for almost 100 years except for when they were shut down for routine maintenance. If anyone has more information on these engines, I would be happy to hear from you. For a sense of the size of these engines, check out the stairs along the right side.
Today, I am told, steel mills use turbo blowers that are much smaller and operate much like jet engines. These are piston engines that operate like the compressor in your garage, on a much larger scale of course.
Some I injected, but most were already injected by Will.
The majority of them are major shortshots.
Some cool stuff from the BrickArms workshop visit a couple weeks ago.
The camera is back in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES).
This is a typical scene in the DTES where drug users inject their illegal drugs, unsupervised.
There are safe injection sites available but many choose not to use them.
Note the injection needle in his mouth while he pressures his arm to find a vein to inject.
Supervised injection sites offer a kit for users. The kit contains a blue stretch rubber strap users can wrap on their arm to pop up a vein for injection. This man may have lost his strap.
Injecting alone is scary as the street drug supply is often mixed with lethal chemicals.
If this man overdoses he can only hope someone passing by will notice and call 911.
Street deaths from overdose is a small percentage of the overall toll as most die alone in their own home.
The arrival of COVID-19 has made the situation worse as the illegal drug supply line has been interrupted. As a result a more toxic mix is in distribution as the available supply is cut with more dangerous chemicals.
While there are daily media briefings about COVID-19, which has killed fewer than 200 people in B.C., overdoses that have killed more than 700 so far this year receive little more than a monthly mortality update.
The number of drug deaths in each provincial health authority is at or near the highest on record, without a solution in sight.
The DTES is a neighbourhood with many challenges in normal times. With COVID-19 the residents are among the most at-risk. Over 3,000 community members are homeless and thousands more live in overcrowded, single-room housing that makes physical distancing nearly impossible.
The accommodations are without kitchens and rely on shared bathrooms with no access to soap for handwashing. This, compounded with the limited access to food and a safe drug supply, continues to create growing unsafe conditions.

Substance abuse is perpetuated in many ways. Drugs are ingested, snorted, smoked, or injected. Injected drugs are liquids put into the body with a needle and syringe.
The drugs are either injected into a vein (intravenous or IV), the muscle (intramuscular) or just under the skin (subcutaneous). The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that as many as 16 million people around the world inject drugs. Injected drugs include:
Heroin
Methamphetamines
Cocaine
Prescription medications
With the exception of marijuana, almost all drugs can be injected, although heroin is likely the most common. Drugs that come in a tablet form, such as prescription medications, are first crushed into a powder and then dissolved in a liquid such as water before injecting. IV drug use is generally the most popular method of injected drug abuse and creates many health risks and concerns.
Skin infections are also common in IV drug users, and abusers may not know exactly what is in the drug they are injecting. For instance, one study reported in the British Journal for Dermatology discovered that in confiscated injected drugs, 89 percent of them were contaminated with pathogens and 68 percent of the street drug heroin contained multiple or various pathogens. Pathogens cause disease and the presence of these bacteria or fungi may lead IV drug users to develop skin abscesses or infections. Lack of proper sterilization techniques when using needles and syringes to inject drugs may also increase the risks for bacterial infections and diseases. Chronic IV drug use also creates vascular scarring, or “track marks,” which is a permanent and visible side effect of needle drug abuse.

Candid street shot New Orleans.
Some of the ModCom I injected a few weeks ago at the workshop.
Due to finals, I haven't really had the time to degate and use more of these, but as you can see, rarely did i get them to inject completely.
While I injected that AK base sprue in the top right, that is Caleb's crazy contraption of a color. Haha.
Last final is tomorrow and then I'm freee(?) Might take a class over the summer on the weekend, but who knows. :#
Time to inject a little bright color back into my photostream.
This is the Pigeon Point Lighthouse, which I've photographed before (and in fact is how most people end up at my photostream, even months afterwards). I was down the coast on Sunday shooting through late afternoon and into sunset.
After shooting down at the rocks during the sunset most of the color seemed to fade from the sky I started making my way back to the car. At this point I noticed that the color and finally hit the clouds looking south, over the lighthouse. They looked lower in the sky than they were, so they lit up later than expected.
Since the sun was setting about 90° to the right I remembered that this was a prime opportunity to use a circular polarizer (which is most effective 90° off-axis from the sun). That caused the sky to darken and let the pink clouds come through. To balance the scene a little more I used a 2-stop ND Grad filter and let some of the bright green of the foreground come through too. I picked this specific spot because it had the most flowers blooming in the foreground.
I'm extremely happy with this shot and how much color could be achieved. I've uploaded the straight out-of-camera low-quality JPG just to emphasize that no post-processing tricks were used to boost the colors. (I'm overly defensive about using photoshop).
Now if only there was a way to make the lighthouse cast those amazingly cool beams of light all-year-around too.

AWOL Not, KIA Not, MIA Not, FUBAR Guilty ;-)
This may get long winded but I'll try to shorten it.
Last few days/nights my MoJo has been disrupted.
Finally gave in and went to the people clinic where
they know me fairly well. Doctor speaks better english
than I do. With the nurses we would write the question
down on paper and I would reply, we had fun with that.
So anyway after some probing, inspecting, injecting
and more probing the Doctor says. "Mr Jon how long
has this been a problem?" "Oh I don't know maybe 6
7 or 8 days." he thought about my answer briefly and
said, "you have high pain tolerance." If I have high pain
tolerance I wouldn't be here, imo. Stubbornness didn't
play-out in my favor this time. Generally I stick to one
rule - If there's bones sticking through the skin or if an
artery is shooting blood like a geyser it's time to seek
medical help for general repair. Bruteforce and of -
course awkwardness can at times workout too ;-)
So in the end the Doctor said my abdominal internal
oblique muscle has been severely damaged and
this condition is rare, though, and is primarily
observed in athletes. OK lets wrap this up.
What this means is with heavy meds
and much bed rest there is hope !
That's pretty cool really cuz now we know
what's holding things up and how soon
we can get back to business as usual.
For example, by 6:15AM this morning
we were over at the mud cobra field.
Now don't blow a gasket I went real
slow and was very cautious, mostly.
OK now lets scrutinize this photo.
Take note -
The right-side of the sidecar where the
colored bungy cords are located. See
the halfmoon sickle. That's right it's
one deadly tool to carry around.
So now your wondering just why am I
carrying it around ? Good question
and here comes your answer.
Notice just how big the palm bows are ?
Not only large but they are covered
with really sharp, nasty thorns
that will destroy you ripping
any unprotected hide ;-0
They are also tearing
the canopy up !
When we are on the south side right next
to the river there's a mass of them impeding
my progress. They are lower and it's like being
trapped in a cats cradle or like a Spiderman trap.
Well lets rephrase that and call it a Murphy trap !
On occasion they have completely knocked me
right off the scooter, while taking some hide too.
So this morning I went armed for battle.
Just slightly opened up our trail so we
can ingress and egress much easier.
Now don't get me wrong here as the
ground is a terrible mess with deep
ruts and washboard like surfaces.
And furthermore, remember some time
back it was mentioned some welds
have broken on the canopy.
The large palm bows and rough surface
are a root cause to this problem that
has not been fixed. Tomorrow I'll
stop at the village welder
and get it fixed ;-)
If you have made it to the end I thank you.
Thank You.

I feel sorry about this bee :(. Nasty spider Argiope bruennichi caught her in her web. I think this is female spider, male are gray color and much smaller.
If you zoom you can see eyes of a spider!
When a prey item is first caught in the web, Argiope bruennichi will quickly immobilise its prey by wrapping it in silk. The prey is then bitten and then injected with a paralysing venom and a protein-dissolving enzyme.
Argiope bruennichi display a rather large distinction between males and females with males averaging length of approximately 4.5 mm and females averaging 15 mm. The reasons for this large difference has evolutionary and fitness background with regards to mating as well as cannibalism by the females towards the males after copulation.
The species Argiope bruennichi displays cannibalism when it comes to mating. We can see this because the sex ratio is so biased towards females later in the mating season. With so little females available, the males need to develop their own ways to potentially find and secure a successful mating like small size and proper time to find an immature female.

No mercy for the bad if they want it
No mercy for the bad if they plead
No mercy for the bad if they need it
No mercy from me
Tell no truth an' tell no lies
Cross your heart and hope to die
Never give what you can't take back
Scratch like a cat
If you inject your venom
It'll be your last attack
No mercy for the bad if they want it
No mercy for the bad if they plead
No mercy for the bad if they need it
V.e.n.o.m.
Got no heart, no feel no pain
Take your soul and leave a stain
Come choose your victim
Take him by surprise
Go in hard and get him
Right between the eyes and
Inject the venom
Inject the venom, c'mon
Inject the venom
Inject it all
Stick it in
Stick it
Inject the venom
Massey Ferguson 8690 with the DODA DRAG 3m Slurry Injector
You can follow us:
Engineers just completed hot-fire testing with two 3-D printed rocket injectors. Certain features of the rocket components were designed to increase rocket engine performance. The injector mixed liquid oxygen and gaseous hydrogen together, which combusted at temperatures over 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit, producing more than 20,000 pounds of thrust.
The additive manufacturing process allowed rocket designers to create an injector with 40 individual spray elements, all printed as a single component rather than manufactured individually. The part was similar in size to injectors that power small rocket engines and similar in design to injectors for large engines, such as the RS-25 engine that will power NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, the heavy-lift, exploration class rocket under development to take humans beyond Earth orbit and to Mars.
