Wide Load - moving House .. 18 wheeler transporting single storey building - down the Local road .. just Wide enough ..

GULF OF ADEN (Dec. 13, 2016) Cpl. Matthew Sroufe, assigned to the âRidge Runnersâ of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 163 (Reinforced), loads a rocket onto an AH-1 Cobra helicopter aboard the amphibious transport dock ship USS Somerset (LPD 25) during Exercise Alligator Dagger. The unilateral exercise is designed to provide an opportunity for the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit to train in amphibious operations within the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations. Somerset is deployed as part of the Makin Island (ARG) to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations to support maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts (U.S. Navy photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Amanda Chavez)

Ahhhhh...Mythbusters! Our family's favorite show. (Though technically the baby doesn't care.) I downloaded some images from the internet for the photos and manipulated an image of the show's logo in Photoshop to make the title.
I used a sketch from the Ella Publishing sketch challenge for this one.
This rather grainy photo shows the method - known as "hoist loading" - of loading vehicles on to the first three car ferries to operate on the west coast of Scotland (outside the Firth of Clyde), the MVs Hebrides, Columba and Clansman of 1964 operated by David MacBrayne Ltd (latterly Caledonian MacBrayne after merger in 1973 with the Caledonian Steam Packet Company Ltd which ran the ferries on the Clyde.)
Instead of driving down a ramp adjustable according to the state of the tide (a "linkspan") directly on to the ship's cardeck at the bow or (more usually with 60s ferries) the stern, hoist loading involved the ship being equipped with a transverse platform which was raised from the car deck by pulleys or hydraulic rams to the level of the pier. A ramp was lowered and 4 or 5 cars could drive on. Turntables set in to the platform enabled some of the cars to be swung round through 90 degrees to ease them being driven off onto the car deck once the platform had been lowered back down.
It was pretty laborious - and almost useless for HGVs - but was necessitated because, whilst the Government was prepared in the early 1960s to invest in ships designed to carry vehicles, it was not at that time yet prepared to invest in linkspans.
Linkspans began to be provided in the early 70s but the process was gradual and I think I'm right in saying that the last service to be converted to "end-loading" ro-ro operations was Mallaig-Armadale in 1994/95.
The only photograph ever taken by me of hoist loading is here at Castlebay although note the end is nigh with the construction of the linkspan ongoing in the background. The ship pictured there has a hoist as well as a ramp at the stern allowing it to operate from linkspans as well. Some Calmac ferries still have hoist systems (as well as the now normal ramps at bow and stern) which would only be deployed in emergency if the linkspan at an island broke down.
I don't know which of the three original ferries it is in the picture or where it is (Craignure on Mull, possibly) but note the MacBrayne's bus on the pier.
This is a scan from an old BBC publication which I think was meant to accompany educational radio broadcast.
It took a superhuman effort to get my sewing machine out but I did it! One more day to go. . . .

Today's prompt... holiday colors.... does green count? Like, for St. Patrick's Day? Why not.
I made the journaling tag - I was inspired by the idea of not spending $4.99 + $8 shipping from Studio Calico. (I love Studio Calico and salivate at all their products and kits, but really.) Mine cost $0. I'll post a tutorial on my blog if you want to see them up close.... here it is: happiebyabbie.blogspot.com/2012/05/load-512-day-3.html

Getting this in at the last second today. I've totally fallen off the wagon, but I'm going to try to get at least 3 more layouts done this month so that I can say I got 50% of the way through! =) I didn't do the prompt, just scrapped this photo I wanted to get down. I basically scraplifted the last layout on this post at the American Crafts blog: americancrafts.typepad.com/studio/2012/05/6x6-mini-paper-.... I loved the idea of the banners around the photo. =)

Supply roll-up, project #5, all open and ready to be rolled! This project took me over 5 hours to do! I had to figure out a way to have two pockets with different divisions. It was a good brain-workout! Difficult, but worth the results! :)

Crews load explosives into drill holes for rock blasting.
To excavate the rock required to widen the interstate, the contractor has the option to blast Monday through Thursday evenings near the Lake Keechelus Snowshed (milepost 58) until October.
After the Panama Canal Transit, we stopped for a day in Cartagena, Columbia. It was hot, Humid and beautiful. Ever since seeing Romancing the Stone, I have wanted to see Cartagena.
Day Five
Ordinarily, I'd be all about the texture...goodness knows I've got more embossing folders than I know what to do with. However, today was just different...I took a different approach.
The grid-style seems to be working recently, so I'm back at it again.
Same size as the others, 6.5 x 11.
Journaling reads:
"It only took a ping pong ball & a fishbowl at the local church festival - & Jon & I won ourselves a pair of fish! We named them Jager & Meister. We took a midnight run to WalMart to get a bowl & fish food. We loved them for an entire week. However, our out of town trip resulted in a fish casualty. They lasted six days longer than expected. :)"

Country Music
[My plan is to rescan the past 7 days of layouts in tomorrow, so please forgive yet another horrible cell phone picture. Blah!!!]
Journaling reads:
"I always thought country music was about the neighbor's dog stealing your wife...tunes that only people out in the styx would listen to, or relate to. Never once did I think country music would come to mean so much to me. A summer full of sunny days and loud music. The chance to be the first car in the parking lot...ready for some serious tailgating. The opportunity to be caller number 9 on a local radio call-in contest...winning tickets & meeting a country star [Justin Moore]. Building jenga towers and being the envy of all tailgaters and concert-goers. Being THISCLOSE to Tim McGraw as he rocked out. Having meaningful lyrics that perfectly tell our love story...roadtrips around the state. Getting ON STAGE to take photos at the HOB. Giant jenga down. Discovering a secret love of ice cold budlight. Seats reserved at standing-room-only shows. I never imagined any of this...and now, I won't listen to anything else. 2-7-12"

Snapshot of Mary loading film! This is as "behind the scenes" as you can GET! How long 'till she removes it? -V
back loading and unloading retractable ramps on a wan hai lines container ship - port of oakland, california
The load indicator in the back of a 3.5 tonne Transit.
For those that don't know, 3500kg is the weight limit. This includes the vehicle itself, the cargo, any people in the van & even the fuel.
Once I filled up the tank, it was probably overloaded?
We began our successful 16-day trek to the K2 North Base Camp and the North Gasherbrum Glacier in the Kyrgyz village of Yilik. Here camel loads are secured prior to our departure. Yilik (elevation 3,498 m, 11,476 ft.) lies on the true left bank of the Yarkand River 345 km (214 mi.) south of Kashgar (Kashi) in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. It is 548 km (341 mi.) from Kashgar by road and the route crosses two mountain passes of 3,410 m (11,188 ft.) and 4,980 m (16,339 ft.).
