Part of the force’s role is to escort abnormal loads across the road and motorway networks.
Earlier this month we assisted with the movement of a bridge section.
GMP officer took over from our Cheshire colleagues and escorted the load to the Yorkshire border.

Oh bugger! I got my cardi caught on the wire as I was sliding under it. 3.02
I actually don't like this either - phooey *walks away, hands in pockets*
Microchip announced its latest Digitally Enhanced Power (DEPA) controllers—the MCP19118 and MCP19119 (MCP19118/9). They provide simple yet effective analog PWM control for DC-DC synchronous buck converters up to 40V, with the configurability of a digital MCU. And they are the industry’s first devices to combine 40V operation and PMBus™ communication interfaces. These features enable quick power-conversion circuit development with an analog control loop that is programmable in the integrated 8-bit PIC® MCU core’s firmware. This integration and flexibility is ideal for power-conversion applications, such as battery-charging, LED-driving, USB Power Delivery, point-of-load and automotive power supplies.

A truck has been reversed off the road up against a large stack of logs. Duckboards have been laid down so that the truck can safely negotiate the terrain. The truck is labelled 39426 and has 'load exceed 3 tons' written up the side. It also has a more informal name daubed across the front. Two soldiers are lifting the logs from the pile while a third secures them on to the truck. Two soldiers stand at the front of the truck chatting to each other. The stack of rough-hewn trunks in the background towers over the scene.
Sawmills were often set up close to the front line so that the timber could be made into lumber ready for use. This meant that the supply of wood would be steady and sufficient. It was also more efficient this way as all the resources were close together and then the finished product could be transported to where was necessary.

Apparently this jumbo jet (N661US) has quite an interesting history including being the first Boeing 747-400 ever produced. It has now been converted into a museum. When I took these photos, I had no idea of any of her history until years later now.

Smells of the Fair say summer to me! This particular summer we didn't go to the PNE with it's mini donuts and food carts, but Playland still had its fair share of greasy smells like our lunch place, Whitespot!

Fell asleep putting my son to sleep but woke up with enough time to post (I hope)!
6x12 using my scraps.
I went out to take Ritzy (our Poodle) to get a haircut. She gets her grooming at our vet’s place. That’s right across the street from the massive Marketplace Terrell Mill construction site. As I was leaving I noticed that the sun had risen just enough to light up some dump trucks waiting to get loads of dirt. This photo is a result of that.
A truck that hauls oversize/overweight loads pulling into the parking lot. Even with the trailer folded up, it required an escort vehicle because the trailer was so long.
Load leveller sounds an intriguing device. I'm guessing much of this was developed and offered by the UK importer.
A CH-47 Chinook helicopter crewmember observes a sling-loaded Humvee and M119 howitzer through an opening in the aircraft during a training exercise, on Fort Bragg, Aug 28, 2013. The exercise was designed to familiarize paratroopers of the 2nd Battalion, 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division with sling-load operations by using helicopters to transport their equipment into position quickly so they can begin to provide indirect fire support.

Used some Echo Park paper that just screams tropical to me. Paired it with some photos of E and her cousins at our family beach this summer.

An ‘abnormal load’ is a vehicle that has any of the following:
- a weight of more than 44,000 kilograms
- an axle load of more than 10,000 kilograms for a single non-driving axle and 11,500 kilograms for a single driving axle
- a width of more than 2.9 metres
- a length of more than 18.65 metres
This document "Code of Practice - Lighting and Marking for Abnormal Load Self escorting vehicles incorporating Operating guidance" gives details of how an escort vehicle should be equipped.
The reference "self escorting" is that abnormal loads do not now need to be escorted by the Police.
I like point 2.1...
"An escort motor vehicle shall have a minimum of four wheels."
Point 2.7 is interesting...
"Flash rates over 10Hz have been shown to increase glare and can also increase the risk of epileptic response. Alternating beacons (right and then left) at 1-3Hz increases the conspicuity of the vehicle without an increase in glare or increasing the risk of an epileptic response."
