RECOVERING FROM ONLINE INVESTMENT SCAMS: HOW SOLACE CYBER WORKST
View allAll Photos Tagged Investment
I just bought the property next door to me so no one could build a house there and wreck my life. They would cut down every tree and block the views. There are mtn. views when it's not raining. It's one of the last pieces of land in my area and it sure beats investing in the market. I am so happy to be able to do this. Sorry the pics suck, but I wanted something to post and the colors are in a good spot today.

The diesel depot in the middle of Wath Yard, separate from the electric depot many people were familiar with, opened in October 1963, for the servicing of just diesel locomotives. On a winters day in 1966, D5827 stands at the depot. All work was transferred to the electric depot from May 1968 and the diesel depot became a wagon repair facility until closure of the yard.

Location: Stone Town, Zanzibar.
Description: It is a city of brilliant sunshine and purple shadows… of dark entries and latticed windows… of mysterious stairways, and massive doors in grey walls which conceal one does not know what… of sun-streaked courtyards and glimpses of green gardens… of barred windows and ruined walls on which peacocks preen. It is a town of rich merchants and busy streets… of thronged market-places and clustered mansions. Over all there is the din of barter, of shouts from the harbour… the glamour of the sun, the magic of the sea and the rich fragrance of Eastern spices. This is Zanzibar!

They put all of their money together--saved over months and months and months--and bought a trampoline. We never thought we would have a trampoline in our yard, but their discipline and their working together made it too difficult to say no.
Charity the saddlebred developed Laminitis early in 2019, after a lengthy recovery she was deemed well by the vet. My wife waited extra time to ensure her soundness. New Years was the breakout day and these two had too much fun. Charity was my wife's Christmas Present about 15 yrs ago. So the holidays are always special for these two and for her to be sound this holiday season, was a tremendous present and outcome.

McGill’s investment
McGill’s has placed an order with Pelican Bus and Coach for 22 Yutong E12 battery-electric buses. The operator says the order marks the beginning of a phase-out of diesel purchases in an effort to respond to the air quality and climate crisis.
The 12m zero-emission buses will be delivered in the third quarter of 2021. Each vehicle has been specified with the 422kW/h battery pack, which Pelican claims is capable of daily operational range of over 300km on a single charge. The delivery is aided by the Scottish Ultra Low Emission Bus Scheme.
When this order was announced, there was some mutterings on social media about the wisdom of purchasing these Chinese built buses over buses made locally in Scotland or indeed the United Kingdom itself, especially as Alexander Dennis announced recently that it’ll be commencing chassis production of both BYD electric single and double-deckers at its factories, rather than import the chassis from BYD’s overseas plants. On top of that, there’s Switch Mobility’s (what used to be Optare) offerings and the new owners of what was Wrightbus (Bamford Bus Company) promising a new ‘best in class’ electric double-decker. Hopefully, it’ll do better than the Streetair, which completely flopped.
However as a commercial business, McGill’s is perfectly entitled to purchase what buses it feels best suits its needs and these buses can only help reduce emissions. They’ll be the first such standard service buses of the type in the country. There is already one running at Whitelees Wind Farm, taking visitors around the site.
Whilst Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) may have disappointed to have missed out on that initial order, it was no doubt cheered by the news a further order by McGill’s group will see its recently acquired Xplore Dundee fleet receive 12 BYD ADL Enviro400EV double-deckers, while a single BYD ADL Enviro200EV will join the 22 previously-announced Yutong E12s in the McGill’s Buses fleet at Johnstone depot.
The single-deckers are to be used on a route between Glasgow and Johnstone and will apparently wear a new livery scheme. Xplore Dundee will deploy its Enviro400EVs to service 28 between Myrekirk and Douglas via the city centre. They will be known as Electric Emeralds. The double-deckers will be the first such buses in the fleet and possibly in Scotland. There was rumours that Lothian Buses had ordered some of the type too but I’ve not seen it confirmed officially.
All the battery-electric buses and infrastructure are to be delivered in the second half of 2021, ahead of the planned - at the moment as it should have happened last year - COP26 summit in Glasgow on 1-12 November. First Glasgow is also expecting its Enviro 200EVs by then also.
In addition to the confirmed battery-electric bus orders, McGill’s says that it is in “advanced talks with a variety of partners” to bring 12 hydrogen fuel cell-electric examples into the Xplore Dundee fleet. They are due to arrive “in the next 12 months.” Dundee is part of the European Union JIVE 2 hydrogen bus project. When the addition of Dundee to JIVE2 was announced, an ADL Enviro 400FCEV was shown but as of yet, the only hydrogen powered double-deckers to enter service have been the Bamford Bus Company’s Streetdeck FCEVs.
This significant investment shows McGill’s commitment to de-carbonising its fleet. On top of these new buses, McGill’s runs a very modern diesel fleet, seen here by I4200 (YX19OTA) branded for services to Erskine.

One of the most challenging factor in pursuing a large scale ship model is aligning decks. Even if the framing seem straight and balanced, warping can occur. So it's important to let deck frames remain untouched for at least a week so that wood fibers can tighten.
Doing this early in the build will avoid surprises later. Here, i use a dowel at the center of the rail tops to check for narrow horizon.
I think these are technically illegal to sell at a yard sale. Some of them ended up being empty, so we kinda ripped ourselves off.

BACKSTORY: Got up around 7:15AM, made it out driving by 7:51 AM and went out until around 1:30PM for a total of 5 hours, 39 minutes. Spent $73.00 plus ~$7.98 gas for 41 miles of driving (15.1 mpg @ $2.94/G), for a total cost of $80.98. We drove to 64 yard sales, stopping at 22 (34%) of them. We made 49 purchases (50 items) for a total estimated value of $743.64, leading to a profit/savings of $662.66. So in essence, we multiplied our $80.98 investment by 9.18X. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $~755 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $662 in cash that we saved. How long does $662 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 5.65 hrs we spent here?) Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $117.29/hr as a couple or $58.64/hr per person.
