As We're Here! looking around for our Remote Controls, I'm reminded of how there is so much electromagnetic radiation surrounding us. Four of these remotes use infrared beams, so don't aim them into your eyes. The other three use radio frequencies, so don't aim them into your brain or heart or nervous system or reproductive organs or implanted medical devices.
Hello week-end, other calm day this saturday. No really idea for the shot of the day but I'm keeping motivation to continute this 365... I want to. Don't forget : this is mine, my project for me and my relationship with photography. I love that and I need to know if is really what I want.
Have a nice day and week-end.

Hello week-end, une autre journée calme ce samedi. Pas vraiment d'idée pour cette photo mais je garde la motivation pour continuer ce 365... je le veux. Ne pas oublier : ceci est à moi, mon projet pour moi et ma relation avec la photographie. J'aime ça et j'ai besoin de savoir si c'est vraiment ce que je veux.
Bonne journée, bon week-end.
First introduced at the 2000 MINExpo in Las Vegas as the LeTourneau L-2350 it is the world's largest wheel loader. Joy Global took over LeTourneau and the machine became the P&H L-2350. In the meantime Komatsu Mining is the new owner, thus the new designation WE2350 to distinguish the LeTourneau derived products from the Komatsu wheel loaders that bear the WA designation.
At 270 tonnes, the wheel loader carries a 41 cubic meter bucket and features a Diesel electric drivetrain with a 2300 horsepower engine and four electric wheel hub motors. It is designed to center load ultra-class haulers of up to 400 ton (363 tonne) payload.
My model at a scale of 1/28.5 is fully remote controlled via bluetooth and the Brick Controller 2 app using two SBricks. The following functions are powered:
- All-wheel drive: one Power Functions XL motor per axle
- Steering: one Power Functions M motor and two large linear actuators
- Loader boom assembly: one Power Functions XL motor and two XL linear actuators (from CaDa because they come in black)
- Bucket: one Power Functions L motor and two large linear actuators
- Work and tail lights, using three pairs of Power Functions LEDs
Power comes from a Power Functions battery box hidden in the radiator compartment.
Furthermore, the model sports the following features:
- Oscillating rear axle
- Deployable acces stairs
- Openable cab doors
- Extendable work platform on the inverter cabinet
- Deployable ladder on the right service platform
The challenge with this model was that it features huge wheels, being the largest tires on any machine in the real world. To overcome this hurdle, I used brick-built wheels with a diameter of around 18 studs and a width of eight studs. The 22-sided brick cylinder is reinforced by a layer of rubber connectors, at the same time ensuring a smoother ride. The original design to these wheels comes from Milan of Eurobricks.

I always thought life would be easier if I cloned my self, but, as it turns out, my clones are just annoying ;)
------------------------------------------------------------
This was my first serious attempt at cloning. I must say, lighting is a pain in the ass, but it was fun. ..hope you like.
Free view TV from C More for a while so I binge-watched all three seasons of Mr. Mercedes in no time at all.
These were some of the photos that I took after I bought my first Digital Camera a Canon EOS REBEL I took these photos in an Industrial Park in Green Cove Springs Florida. At the time the CSX Railroad had just purchased several Shoving Platforms (aka Remote Control Caboose Replacement).
The units were used to control switching Locomotives on Local Trains (especially during back-up moves) where a crew member could at the control panel on the (Flat Car) and control the Locomotive remotely by Radio; you can see the Antenna along with Horns and Flashing Lights at the Top of the Control Console in Photo #2 of 4. Of course today most railroads use a Fanny Pack Control Console that a Switchman wears at his beltline to control the Remote Control Locomotives especially within Rail Yards. I believe these Shoving Platforms were assembled by a Railcar Repair Facility within this Industrial Park because there were several units that were not yet full assembled at the time I Photographed them.
My building's laundry room has been closed for nearly a month, as they got new machines, waited for the card reader to be installed, repainted the floor, etc. Tonight they reopened it, complete with company rep to show us how to use the machines and give us a card loaded with $5.
But the best part? If you wanted to bring your laundry RIGHT THEN, the rep'd pay for it. So I did two ginormous loads--all my sheets, all my towels, a backlog of clothing that I'd not prioritized for *months*. There were socks in there. I don't know the last time I wore a pair of socks!
A while back, Jason and I were having one of those discussions of our favorites--favorite fruit (me: raspberries; him: strawberries); favorite meat (me: lamb; him: chicken); etc. Favorite flower came up. He remembered!
For Valentine's Day I got a surprise delivery of a pot of daffodils. I can't wait for them to bloom!
In a large white canvas tent before the runway, a man sat, focused on his model jet. With a long screw, he prodded one part and poked another.
I was intrigued.
His name was Jim, a model jet pilot from Durham, North Carolina, who was participating in the annual Jets over Kentucky. The week-long event near my home bills itself as "the World's largest remote control jet show." The world's largest anything is pretty rare in this rural part of Kentucky where I live. So naturally, I was out with my camera.
Jim said that he had come to previous Jets over Kentucky every at our county airport. It is a small rural airport that every year devotes itself for a week to these lilliputian planes, their pilots, their large recreation vehicles and visitors.
As I took photos, I asked Jim questions about his remote controlled jet. He said he could fly his Thunderbird model from his controller "as far as the eye could see it."
These were big model planes so the eye, at least my eyes, can see it pretty far.
It was very bright outside but dark in the shaded part of the tent where we were.
Jim was sitting down, working and prodding on an electronic box. I had seen him standing next to his plane when I originally walked over so I asked him if he could again stand up by his plane to work on it.
He did.
We talked about his Thunderbird model jet . It's an amazing machine. I asked him to look over.
Click.
Jim, thank you for your help.
