The name of my hood in Orlando, FL is College Park. Just west of us are railroad tracks and just west of that is ALL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Wonderful things going on developing this historic area that used to be a main Citrus packing and shipping area. Here's a link to read more about this wonderful place. packingdistrictorlando.com/
Anyway, awful now, roads and all under construction but were hopeful that someday it will be finished. This is a version of the old pavilion that was there. It too is not finished yet, but I couldn't resist a shot. Coming home from the outside Farmer's Market.
Even though the race weekend is still a couple of weeks away, it is never too early to get ready. The packing of spares is just the start of what has to be carried for a long trip to Mount Panorama in Bathurst NSW. Still have to find room for camping gear, food and even a little liquid refreshment (gotta keep an eye on the fluid levels!).

A forced perspective shot of the same 1/18th scale model 2009 Holden Commodore V8 Supercar as seen in the previous two posts. This time, it is mounted on the car trailer and being towed by the Kyosho 1/18th scale model 1980 Toyota Landcruiser. Dougie, spare tyres, and assorted accessories are all 1/18th scale and taken with the real backdrop of my village street.
Sorry for the overdose of shots of this Holden Commodore racecar, but Bathurst Big Race weekend is fast approaching and I am getting in the "rev-head" mood early!

Well I think I finally got this right after discovering my cropping tool wasn't working. So maybe 3 times the charm eh?
Gypsy Time is Approaching Fast!
If you haven't heard, the Gypsy Campers are ready to hit the open grid once again! We're packing up and moving out on January 1st 2022!! More details to come!
❀
The Gypsy Camp is a group of adventurers and travelers from all over the world looking to explore Second Life the best way possible, by camping out at a new sim every week and fully exploring the lands the way the owners intended! There is no official group, just a bunch of people coming together at different places to enjoy the region collectively. All are always welcome.
❀
On our first week back, we'll be heading to the Mountains! We've rented some cabins for us to share and are looking forward to an exciting week of games, snowboarding, snowball fights, and ofc some hot chocolate and music at the ski lodge!
❀
Start packing your skiis, boards, sweaters, and food! You won't need much this week but campers do typically have their own tents and sleeping bags (though never a requirement! All travel is always free!)
❀
As always, everyone is welcome to join us. We welcome all new friends and nobody is ever obligated to stay! Camp one week, leave the next if you want. Its your trip too!
❀
"Gypsy is also used as a description for a nomadic or "free-spirited" person"

Oh no Teddy! Hurry up! Go get some more water for Goldie!! >.<
....looks like we can't take the fishbowl with us anyway. I ran out of room in my suitcase.
Detailed image of splayed-end Garlock-brand asbestos packing material.
There are literally several thousand distinct asbestos products and respective applications collectively known as "asbestos products"; this image depicts but a single brand and one type of an often overlooked asbestos material: packing.
Essentially a rather durable rope-like material, asbestos packings can range considerably in thickness and construction (e.g.- braided, twisted, rubber/metal composite, round, square, etc.). Most packings are typically handled by dry cutting with saws or serrated knives and are usually crudely extracted from mechanical parts by picking the asbestos material apart piece-by-piece with simple corkscrew-type implements, which creates potential conditions for airborne asbestos exposure.
There are a few other applications for packing materials, however asbestos packing was most commonly used for creating internal seals around industrial pump shafts and pipe valve stems. As much as 1/2-pound (or more) of asbestos packing could be installed inside each pump or pipe valve housing and are oftentimes not even considered during asbestos surveys or exposure assessments primarily due to their inherent concealment.

I've been saving all sorts of packing paper with the hope of coming up with an idea to use it all.
The Adventure
Honey and the gang are going on vacation! The Faewylds has been closed for the weekend for a private family vacation. Don’t worry though, it reopens on the 8th, with a full rebuild that Honey is so excited for everyone to see.

توصي شئ أنا بكره مسافر ..،؛،.. وأبي الليله أسافر قبل باكر
لكن .. قبل ما أرحل ودي تعرف ...,,.... ترى موتـــى ولا موت المشاعر !
أنا رتبت جرحــي مع ثيابى ..،،.. وأخذت أحزانى والآلامى تذاكر
يرووح العمر ما راحت همومـى ..،؛،.. صحيح اللي يقوول الهم كادر !
خساره إنت والدنيا عليّ ..،؛،.. تكابر والزمن مثلك يكابر
حبيبي كل من حولي ظلمني ..،،.. وتبغاني بعد هذا ما أسافر !
توصي شي ... أنا بكره مســـــــافر !
NS #4711 spots two tank cars at South Chicago Packing near the historic location of Chicago's Union Stock Yards. A block away from here is the new Vienna Beef factory at the corner of Pershing and Morgan which moved in from the North Side in 2016.
Cut through into quarters but only part way through. Pack with sea or Himalayan salt. Table salt is no good die to the anti caking agents added.
On Christmas break, gonna be doing some videos and taking some pictures so stay tuned for some new stuff.
Tried to make a cigarette box without Lego pieces. I am happy with the design.
Backpack inspired by Logan.
Merry Christmas!

This week I'm packing up boxes, suitcases and books full of ideas to carry me through the next few months of travel and changes in my life.
There's a lot in the works that I haven't announced yet and I'm excited to be bringing you all along on the next adventures, stay tuned!
After all the trips that I've done, I still don't like the idea of packing.
I don't seem to enjoy confrontational moments like these. Like deciding what goes in and not, what gets to be taken and which one gets left behind.
But at the same time, it gives me so much power to yield.
Ha, all these just in the act of packing.
