A word of thanks to the contractor involved who was lifting first cut silage near Cloyne County Cork
my color scheme is fairly predictable, and extends even to the closet.
I'm driving up to Indy tomorrow, so I've been packing up thing to take back to the madre's house...mostly my winter clothes and things I won't be needing this summer.
For this art project we had to make a packing tape sculpture and place it in a public setting and take photos.
I bought a 1965 Tigra bike on eBay last year from Swiss seller Speedcycles . This is how it arrived. He did an excellent job of packing. The bike was packed like a Swiss watch!
and heading to thailand...I wish!

Packing boxes to send home in preparation for the tour of Virginia that marks the end of my work here at Virginia Opera. What a pain in the butt.

I hate packing. I'm really bad at it. I spend a couple of days gradually building up piles of stuff I might need & then I pack and unpack endlessly the night and morning before I go.
Today's photo is a range of things I could take with me piled up, with the bag hovering below and me hoping they just start jumping in ....
1. Picking the items, 2. Packing the orders, 3. Charging credit cards, 4. Weighing the packages, 5. Printing shipping labels, 6. Affixing the labels, 7. Packing the mailbag, 8. Requesting a pickup, 9. Ready to be picked up!

It's that time of year again. Time to head to Chicago for a gathering of really smart Apple developers at C4.
CEA were employed to pack and lash 77 units of Mud Skips, Cargo Baskets and Gas Racks into 14, 40ft HC containers, the cargo received was too wide to fit in to the containers in the conventional way and would have to be turned on its side. CEA would ready the containers for load out and transport them to port where the cargo would be shipped to Nigeria to be used in the offshore Oil & Gas sector.
PROCEDURE
Two wooden beams were placed on the floor in each of the containers, the cargo, on its side would be placed on these to ensure no damage occurred to the panels during loading, transportation and unloading. Lifting slings that would be used upon arrival in Nigeria were attached to each piece of cargo before packing.
A CEA reach stacker lifted each of the containers and placed them on to their sides upon wooden blocks. CEA fabricated specialised roller units to facilitate the loading, two units were placed underneath the front section to support the cargo while being loaded by forklift from the rear.
Mantiou 3.5 t forklift’s and 5 t pallet trucks loaded the cargo into the containers, both fork lifts and pallet trucks were covered with protective materials to prevent any damage to the cargo.
After all Mud Skips, Cargo Baskets and Gas Racks were loaded the CEA team lashed and secured them in place. Wooden chocks and stoppers were installed to further ensure no movement while transportation and shipping.
All necessary supporting documents were provided inside each container. A third party inspection team checked all loaded cargo and sealed the containers with the appropriate shipping tags. The containers were loaded on to flatbed trailers and transported to port to await shipping.

3.5t Manitou forklift

Today was a big day, and it had nothing to do with the holiday. Nope, it marked my first day back to work since we lost Felix. I can't claim the day was a difficult one. I enjoy what I do and I adore my co-workers. We share common interests and they make me laugh and feel at ease. And I'd talked the husband into baking one of his acclaimed chocolate cakes (aka "the crack cake" - called thusly for its high cocoa content) for me to share with them. So in the morning we got all sugared up, then ordered pizza for lunch, and engaged in some minor Nerf gun skirmishes in the afternoon. No complaints. But I do know my limits. I'm just not ready to go back to working full time. I tire easily and have some healing to do yet. And I want to spend more time with the little man while I still can (he's in half-day kindergarten for the rest of this schoolyear, next schoolyear it's first grade all day). So for now I'm going to work part-time. And I'm lucky to work for a company that is okay with that.
On July 25, 2011, Karen Frey of Clark University, scoped out the packing yet to be done during the final week of the ICESCAPE mission.
The ICESCAPE mission, or "Impacts of Climate on Ecosystems and Chemistry of the Arctic Pacific Environment," is NASA's two-year shipborne investigation to study how changing conditions in the Arctic affect the ocean's chemistry and ecosystems. The bulk of the research takes place in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas in summer 2010 and 2011.

Tango and Chaco with a little bit of Sir visible in front on the Ptarmigan Lake Trail. Heading home in the late afternoon.
Another trip to Ptarmigan Lake. This time I brought another two llamas, #4 son, a hand saw, and ice axes. Using the tools, we were able to make it all the way to the upper end of the lake. Too many downed trees to make it past there to Snow Pass and Paradise Valley.
