While in Arizona, I had the opportunity to visit the DaDee Manufacturing facility. I met Refuse Arizona the week before at Waste Expo and we were able to arrange a tour at the DaDee Manufacturing facility. On my way to their facility I saw The Scorpion FE Mack LR from Waste Expo pull into the Mack dealership in Phoenix, it was neat seeing that truck twice in one week in two different states. Once I arrived at DaDee Manufacturing Refuse Arizona gave me a tour that started at prefabrication and went all the way to final assembly. I had a great time learning more about the DaDee products and seeing them in person.
Big thank you to everyone at DaDee Manufacturing, they are truly an innovative company with products of the highest quality. And a special thank you to Refuse Arizona for the amazing tour, it was an honor meeting you and Waste Expo and talking about the Waste Industry.

Two summerhouses were built in Point Pleasant Park as the result of a bequest of Halifax businessman William West in 1881. Assembled in 1882, the summerhouses were manufactured by the Walter Macfarlane & Company Saracen Foundry in Glasgow, Scotland.
The Scottish Ironwork Foundation (www.scottishironwork.org/index.htm) has more information about summerhouses of this type, and other works in iron from around the world.

Les fabriques se spécialisent également souvent dans la fabrication d’une gamme particulière de tailles. L’usine de trois étages Partagas a été construite dans le centre de La Havane en 1845.Les 200 ouvriers rouleurs de l’usine Partagas, la plus grande production à l’exportation, tournent 5 millions de cigares par an.Il a été estimé qu’un havane fait main passe par pas moins de 222 différents stades du semis au produit fini avant d’être prêt pour la commercialisation. Les rouleurs de cigares travaillent dans de grandes salles Chaque rouleur est chargé de l’élaboration du cigare depuis l’étape de tassement jusqu’à ce qu’il soit finalement coupé à la bonne taille. La combinaison pré-mélangée de feuilles de remplissage et de sous cape est préparée à l’avance par chaque rouleur et est pressée dans des moules en bois de la taille appropriée. les rouleurs de cigares sont assis sur un banc, un peu comme les anciens bancs d’’école, et chaque rouleur commence avec un quota de remplissage adaptée à la taille et la marque de cigare qui est fait ce jour-là.Il y a 42 tailles de cigares faits à la main aujourd’hui et un bon fabricant de cigares peut généralement rouler environ 120 cigares de taille moyenne la moyenne pour un cigare de la taille Montecristo A est de seulement 56 cigares par jour.

Love the retro look of this mid century building located in the industrial area of my city. There were a few rabbits on the lawn when I arrived, but they weren't interested in adding to the photo..
This aircraft was manufactured in 1944 for the United States Army Air Force and registered as military serial number 44-73877. She did not see combat action during WWII.
During 1951 she was delivered to the Royal Canadian Air Force where she served until 1958. From 1958 to 1980 the aeroplane was flown by various private owners. After an extensive rebuild from 1980 to 1985 she was registered N167F and bore the ‘Old Crow’ colour scheme of Col. Clarence Anderson who’s signature remains on the left undercarriage door panel.
In 2012 she was purchased by a UK owner and delivered to the UK in August that year. Since then the aeroplane has been overhauled and refitted and is now in the colour scheme of Lt. Blanchford, RAF 112 Squadron which operated from Italy in 1945 on ground attack missions over the Balkans and along the Adriatic coast.

The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since the 1948 model year. The F-Series is marketed as a range of full-sized pickup trucks positioned above the midsize Ranger but below the larger Super Duty in the Ford truck lineup.[1] Alongside the F-150 (introduced in 1975), the F-Series also includes the Super Duty series (introduced in 1999), which includes the heavier-duty F-250 through F-450 pickups, F-450/F-550 chassis cabs, and F-600/F-650/F-750 Class 6–8 commercial trucks.
The F-Series was first introduced in 1948 as a replacement for a previous pickup model line based on car platforms.
The most popular version of the model line is the F-150 pickup truck, currently in its fourteenth generation (introduced for the 2021 model year). From 1953 to 1983, the entry-level F-Series pickup was the 1⁄2 ton F-100. Starting in 1984, the F-150 became the entry-level. The F-150 has a long-running high-performance off-road trim level introduced for 2010, the (SVT) Raptor currently consisting of three generations. Production of the F-150 SVT Raptor ended in 2014 and it was planned to be succeeded by a new F-150 Raptor, which is based on the thirteenth and fourteenth generation F-150.
The F-Series trucks have been developed into a wide range of design configurations. Alongside medium-duty trucks and "Big Job"[clarification needed] conventional trucks (the forerunners of the Ford L-series), the model line has been marketed as a chassis-cab truck and a panel van (a predecessor of the Ford E-Series). The F-Series has served as the platform for various full-sized Ford SUVs, including the Ford Bronco, Ford Expedition/Lincoln Navigator, and Ford Excursion. The F-Series has been marketed by its three North American brands: by Mercury as the M-Series (in Canada from 1948 to 1968), and by Lincoln in the 2000s, as the Blackwood and the later Mark LT (2010s for the latter in Mexico only).
Since 1977, the F-Series has remained the best-selling pickup truck line in the United States; it has been the best-selling vehicle overall since 1981. The F-Series has been the best-selling truck in Canada for over 50 years. As of the 2018 model year, the F-Series generated $41 billion (~$49 billion in 2023) in annual revenue for Ford. By January 2022, the F-Series models have sold over 40 million units. Currently, Ford manufactures the F-Series in four facilities in the United States.
The first-generation F-Series pickup (known as the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in 1948 as a replacement for the previous car-based pickup line introduced in 1942. The F-Series was sold in eight different weight ratings, with pickup, panel truck, parcel delivery, cab-over engine (COE), conventional truck, and school-bus chassis body styles.
For most of its production, the F-Series was sold in a medium-duty conventional truck configuration alongside the traditional pickup trucks. Beginning in 1948 with the 11⁄2 ton F-5 (later F-500), the medium-duty trucks ranged up to the F-8 (F-800). Prior to the 1957 introduction of the Ford C-Series tilt-cab, the medium-duty range was offered as both a conventional and in a COE (cabover) configuration.
Following the introduction of the fifth-generation F-Series in 1967, the medium-duty trucks were designed separately from the pickup truck range. Although remaining part of the F-Series range, the medium-duty trucks shared only the cab and interior with the F-Series pickup trucks. Since 1967, the cab design has changed only in 1980 and in 2000. Redesigned on an all-new chassis, the 2016 F-Series medium-duty trucks retain an updated version of the 2000–2015 F-650/F-750 cab.
The medium-duty F-Series served as the donor platform for the B-Series cowled bus chassis produced from 1948 to 1998. Produced primarily for school bus bodies, the B-Series was discontinued as part of the sale of the Ford heavy-truck line to Freightliner in 1996.
Above its medium-duty truck ranges, the F-Series also served as the basis of its commercial heavy truck lines for four generations. In 1951, Ford debuted the "Big Job" name for its F-7 and F-8 conventional trucks; the latter was optionally fitted with tandem rear axles.
For 1958, the Big Job trucks were replaced by the Extra Heavy Duty line. Coinciding with the debut of the Super Duty V8 engine line, trucks fitted with those engines were denoted as Super Duty trucks.
In 1963, Ford introduced the N-Series short-hood conventional, replacing the F-900 Super Duty/Extra Heavy Duty. The first conventional-hood Ford with a diesel engine, the N-Series sourced its cab from the F-Series, pairing it with a shorter, wider hood and mounting it higher.
Ford introduced the L-Series "Louisville" line of conventional trucks in 1970, ending all F-Series commonality with its heavy commercial trucks. The L-Series/Aeromax remained in production through 1998, coinciding with the sale of the Ford heavy-truck line to Freightliner (who sold the line as Sterling Trucks through 2009). Outside North America, Ford currently markets the Ford Cargo and Ford F-MAX COE trucks.

The IIIg was the last of the screw-mount Leicas. It was manufactured until 1960 in parallel to the much more expensive, and of course more modern bayonet-equipped M3 that many people see as the best Leica ever.
This particular body was manufactured in 1958. It has significantly more bulk than my pre-war IIIa, but the changes in handling are, at best, incremental. The larger finder is useful, and so are the parallax-corrected frames, but to me, the camera feels less "just right" than the 2 decades older model. But that is just my personal feeling.
Yes, of course she's complicated to use. Her design was obsolete even when she was new, But her build quality is beyond doubt and also, almost, beyond belief. Just go for a waltz with one of these ladies and you'll see what I mean.
That's just talking about the body. The lens ...quite frankly, I could never quite warm for the collapsibles. There is something missing there. The feeling of absolute, unflagging solidity. One thing is for sure, the glass is very easily scratched. Watch out for that if you consider buying an old Summicron. Always do the old flashlight test.
The "Bladewasp" Y-Wing, manufactured by Bacrana Shipyards, was a small, agile but very long-range starfighter. It was equipped with a pair of light skirmishing lasers but it's primary weapon was the monstrously powerful Apocalypse Fabrications Mk.1 "One Shot", a single anti-matter warhead (with a correspondingly huge blast radius) fired towards its target at relativistic speeds.
The Y-Wing's hyperdrive - the Force U-Proxima 2.0 - was also a little different from the conventional. The core was a containment field of pure midichlorian plasma that used manipulations of the Force itself to translate the starfighter across intergalactic distances far quicker than a standard hyperdrive. Unfortunately this precluded anyone with Force sensitivity from piloting the craft as the intense Force emanating from the midichlorian drive plasma would cause seizures and then rapidly after, madness, in even the most weakly Force-attuned being.
The Jedi order had acquired a Y-Wing for a special mission - to use its One-Shot weapon to take out one of the main suppliers to the Imperial battle fleet, the Corellian Engineering Corporation. But who to fly the mission? The choice was clear... Master Yoda himself said, "The Force in Pokludix Zaa non-existent is. Safely fly the mission he can. Our only hope he is. Hmmm, hmm."
So Pokludix takes the controls and somehow succeeds in setting a course for the Corellian system. The U-Proxima drive engages and Spacetime folds around the Y-Wing in a globular fizz of electric blue lightning. Will Pokludix Zaa manage to loose off the One-Shot at the time and hit his target? Late on Friday evening know, we may...

Derelict remnants of the mills and workshops involved in the manufacture of artifacts made from the local decorative stone called serpentine
Serpentine is a rare rock type nationally, but common on the Lizard, and when cut and polished the stone rivals marble in its beauty. In the mid 1800s Its dark colour and red and green veins struck a chord with Victorian fashion, and the industry flourished until the end of the century.
The round tower is the only relic of the pre existing pilchard fishing era ( Sse previous picture ). It housed a winding machanism to haul the fishing boats up the beach.
One of two truckloads of new pontoons for Lossiemouth Marina parked up at the harbour. Irish plates so Brexit didn't stop their delivery. Whether they could've been manufactured nearer to home is another matter.
This photo is not real earthquake mess! I was so stressed out last night I manufactured some chaos out of Jade’s studio, which was mostly packed away. Everything is carefully balanced, I don’t know how I managed to pull it off with all the aftershocks!
Yesterday and last night totally sucked.
A 7.0 earthquake yesterday morning left my real studio (and a lot of my house) in shambles. Entire shelves were emptied, art fell off the walls, coffee cups fell out of the cabinet (and broke the coffee pot,) there is major structural damage to a lot of the main roads and off ramps in town. Many businesses are closed. Thankfully my family and I are all safe! After the main quake we have been continually hit with aftershocks (there was just a 3.7 a minute ago.)
This has all been so completely terrifying and stressful. The initial quake was horrible, I was all alone in the dark, and the aftershocks are totally keeping me on edge. It isn’t even about any of the the damage that happened, I think I’m stuck in the fear that at any moment a tremor could turn into a worse earthquake. People up here talk about The Big One, and we are apparently due for a Big one, and I’m just worried it will happen and my house will spontaneously explode or something.
Thank you everyone for your concern and well wishes!!
More cleaning for me today. My internet isn’t the best at the moment, so I am still trying to reply to older comments!

When Henry Ford established the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, the assembly line method revolutionised automobile production. Ford of Canada is unique in the sense that it was incorporated on 17 August 1904 without any real ownership from the parent company in the USA. Today it is a wholly own subsidiary. While originally located in Walkerville, the company moved it's headquarters and established a manufacturing plant in Oakville in the post-war boom. Purchasing a large poultry farm the plant and new HQ opened in 1953. The current HQ building opened in 2002 replacing the original one.
