Load Description: Car part stamping machines at 116,000 lbs. each.
I promised Steve (misterpexies57) some low-loader progress a while back, to be honest there hasn't been much to show really.
Until now, shown here are some of the 16 new wheel bearing's, 16 new brake shoe pull-back springs, and 4 new push-rod springs I've had to have made, and 4 relined shoes.
This trailer was in pretty good condition to say it's 60 years old, unfortunately water ingress has knackered all the wheel bearings, corrosion has also made the big compression springs fall to pieces as well, the shoe pull-back springs are out of shape and have to be replaced.

I don't know the age on this complex maze of stock corrals and loading chutes, but as dusk was settling, I could imagine what it would be like to see this area in full swing--the bellows, snorts and farts of the livestock, the yelps of the cowhands, the screech of closing gates, not to mention the dust and the stench.
The Fort Worth Stockyards held its last auction in December 1992, and the old market shut down.
Historic Fort Worth Stockyards.
From a site about the Fort Worth Stockyards: www.stockyardsmuseum.org/index_files/StockYardsHistory.htm
Both Armour and Swift had huge outdated plants that were straddled with risings costs, wages and administrative expenses. Armour was the first to close their Fort Worth plant in 1962 with Swift hanging on until 1971. Partial demolition followed over the years after several fires.
Weekly livestock auctions ceased many years ago, but the Stockyards continues to host special breed events and sales including Longhorn auctions. Many thousand of head of cattle are still sold in the Stockyards every week via video/satellite sales originating in the Exchange Building. The livestock legacy lives on.

Templeate by: Scrappin with Liz. Paper by: sgleanson: olivetree, pp 15. Wiggle outline: Digital Scrapbook Experts: May flowers Tahoe sticker: Digital Artisan Guild, A Room With A View. I don't usually do pages about me, so this was a total challenge. From mid December until yesterday, I spent my time in Reno, NV, and then between my home in Wheatland, WY and Casper, WY, being chieft cook, bottle washer and taxi driver for my two daughters. I am going to change the journaling to reflect that both Katie and Megan live together in Casper and that Katie was in Reno working when she had her car accident. Journaling: December 2011 brought many changes to our lives. I spent from the 18th of December to the 11th of January in Reno, NV with Katie after her car accident. Then on February 29th, 2012, Megan slipped and fell on the ice at the apartment complex and broke her ankle and required surgery. Now 8 weeks later I have two girls that are now are finally wearing two shoes!
A sketch of one of the massive Caterpillar loaders for sale a couple of blocks from my office. While I was sketching, I realized that it needed color, but that hitting it with watercolor would buckle the paper in my sketchbook, so I gave my highlighter pen a shot.

Looking north, this view once again shows off the generous facilities provided at Singleton. Both island platforms are visible, whilst that in the foreground is one of two loading dock platform faces for the provision of horse box traffic.

This is the loading screen. The app only takes a couple seconds to load, but I think some sort of visual treat is nicer than just seeing a screenshot of the app while it loads. We made sure not to use it for any sort of self promotion.
This is part of what used to be a gravel pit on the current site of Chambers Creek Properties, a mixed-use recreational area owned by Pierce County. As recently as 1992 the mining operation at Chambers Creek was the largest single producer of sand and gravel in the U.S. Now the operation lies dormant and almost forgotten. The Chambers Creek golf course will be the site of the 2015 U.S. Open.

Unloading a hold full of Snow Crab. For those familiar with Deadliest Catch, this would be Opilea. I love trying to capture the culture of the fishermen in Nova Scotia any time I can.
May LOAD Day 10 - Using holiday paper with a non-holiday subject matter. I used Halloween paper (polka dot and the striped). The purple and blue cardstocks matched the dots and stripes and my DDs shirt and leggings have purple and some of the same blue. The buttons go with the dots and stripes.
Page 2 journaling reads:
here we are at the Cancun airport! It was a very busy place! I remember feeling confused and overwhelmed by different people calling out resort name. I remember Evan being annoyed someone wanted to carry his suitcase. "I can carry my own suitcase!" He said.We finally got on the right bus. I can see I looked pretty tired.Brittany was grinning from ear to ear. It is a dream of her's to travel. Once at the hotel, the first thing for the guys to check is to see what channels we get.We were welcomed by drinks for all!
Page 1 journaling:
Our first walk down to the beach! This was the first of many more. I love the feeling of the first time to explore a place...You can see Evan just taking it all in!
MY FAVE SPOT...I love my backyard in the summer time it is my escape and my oasis and I love watching my puppy play and chase things in the back yard!!
