An old truck stands where it was left in the early 1970s near an abandoned tracking station in the desert north of Woomera, South Australia. The Woomera rocket range was used to test British and, later, US rockets and missiles and is still being used in the development of scram jet technology.
Just this one more photo, and I'm going to have to call it a night. Maybe go outside and pick a few more snails off my plants :(
Anyone have any recipes... I've not had dinner yet... lololol...
The Key to Her Ferrari - Thomas Dolby

There was one room in her house that was always kept locked.
It was the garage.
I don't want your love
Don't want your money
I just want the key to your Ferrari
Don't want your bed
I don't want your body
I just want the key to your Ferrari
I'm gonna rip it - shine it - rev it -
Scoot it - skid it - jam it -
Rev it - skip it - gun it -
Up and down the 101
Don't want your love
Don't want your money, girl
I said all I want is the key to your Ferrari.
And then...! And then I saw her...
She was a bright red '64 GTO
With fins and gills like some giant piranha fish,
Some obscene phallic symbol on wheels...
Little rivers of anticipation ran down my inseam
As I kicked those five hundred Italian horses into life
And left reality behind me:
Fifty, sixty, seventy miles an hour... OH!
My hand slipped inside the belt of my trousers
As we passed eighty, ninety miles an hour...
And as we hit the magic hundred, I...
Yes, my love exploded all over her bright pink leather interior...
And at that moment, I thought of my mother.
Don't need no drugs
Don't need no liquor
Said all I want is the key to your Ferrari
Your ruby lips - pa!
Your perfect figure - eech!
I just want the key to your Ferrari
I'm gonna rev it - jam it - scram it -
Rip it - tear it - bare it -
Ram it - repair it - scoot it -
Up and down the 101
Don't want your love
Don't want your money, girl
I said all I want is the key to your Ferrari.
He's gonna rev it - scoot it - skid it -
Rip it - skip it - gun it -
Brake it - zoom it - vacuum it
Up and down the 101
Don't want your love
Don't want your money, girl
I said all I want is the key to your Ferrari
Oh, I just want the key to your Ferrari!
('Cause aliens ate my Buick.)
Used enough Deer Scram to get the sunflowers started this year. Now we have a cluster over eight feet tall and the birds love it.

A toy racecar that was given to me by my last employer. One was given to each employee at that time. It advertises a product that the company made at that time. Used some editing to make it appear to be moving.
"Scram, Victor!" The new Robin yells. " *sigh*... I hope we are still able to have that 'sExual TiMes' you wanted." Edward quips. Johnathan laughs.

Sanja arrived just in time... Though through the course of the party, people were wondering why does she always creep to the corner of the jewellry shop... Is it an attempt to snag one of those fine jewelry in display? ... Little they know that her butterfly anklet accessory was actually a SCRAM bracelet... her agency was TOO PARANOID to see their models making headlines as wasted and irresponsible drinkers... So Sanja would just pretend to drink the cocktails and pour them to the plant (poor plant)... She rather be Holly Golightly than Holly GO-LIGHTHEADED... LOL ^_^

Here in Scotland for the week.. Knew I would have today free, so thought I'd hire a Scram to have a run round on!!
Done 180(s)miles today on some lovely roads..
Bit of drizzle but mostly dry with sunny intervals.. Quite breezy though..
Five picture stitch using Bimostitch Lite.
HDR added using Snapseed.
A postcard addressed on the other side to "Iva Appleyard, Guilford, Me.," and postmarked, "Guilford, Me., Aug. 5, 1907."
"Skidoo 23 is NOW 37. Turn around the card and I hand you a--."
"I hand you a"—what?
Based on a fad that became popular around 1906 or 1907, "skidoo 23"—or more commonly "23 skidoo"—was a shorthand way of telling someone to "scram," "beat it," or "get lost," usually with a humorous or joking connotation.
If you "turn around the card" or rotate it so that the text is upside down (see below), you'll discover that the letters and numbers of "NOW 37" have turned into the word "LEMON" (this trick is known as an ambigram).
The sender of the card is telling its recipient that "skidoo 23" is "NOW 37." But "NOW 37" turns out to be a "LEMON" when the card is rotated. So the real message is, "I hand you a—LEMON" = "NOW 37" = "Skidoo 23."
In an amusingly convoluted way, then, this postcard illustrated that being handed a lemon was the equivalent of telling someone "23 skidoo."
Perhaps it was due to postcards like this one that "handing someone a lemon" became a way to say scram or get lost without an explicit reference to 23 skidoo. For an example of this, see With My Compliments.
In any case, if a lemon is handed to you, you now know what to do!
For an amazing compilation of information regarding the skidoo 23 fad, see the 23 Skidoo Postcards Web site, or go directly to the site's Lemons (Also NOW37) page.

This is a postcard addressed on the verso to "Mrs. D. P. Conklin, Highland Mills, N.J.," but otherwise there's no handwritten message, stamp, or postmark.
A lemon with a Christmas greeting might seem like a work of Dadaist art to us today, but this postcard actually had a specific meaning in the early twentieth century when it was created.
To "hand someone a lemon" meant—often with humorous or joking intentions—"scram," "beat it," or—in the terms of the fad it was associated with—"skidoo" or "23 skidoo."
In another postcard example, this connection between lemons and skidoo forms the basis of a message on a Valentine's Day card (see below): "To My Valentine / 'Tis a lemon that I hand you / And bid you now 'skidoo,' / Because I love another— / There is no chance for you!"
In a third instance, a postcard (below) depicts a hand reaching out to offer the viewer three lemons. You had to know, of course, that being handed a lemon signified "skidoo" in order to realize that the caption, "With my compliments," was meant sarcastically.
So how did lemons become associated with skidoo? A fourth postcard (below) may provide the answer. The postcard is printed in bright yellow and green colors, and lemons appear in the middle of the card and in each of its four corners. The puzzling message on the card begins,"Skidoo 23 is NOW 37," and then continues, "Turn around the card and I hand you a—."
Rotating the postcard so that the text is upside down reveals that the letters and numbers of "NOW 37" turn into the word "LEMON" (this trick is known as an ambigram, in case you were wondering). So, to put it all together, this postcard illustrated that being asked to skidoo—or more colloquially, telling someone "23 skidoo"—was the equivalent of being handed a lemon!
And, of course, the reverse was true—if you received a lemon, you'd better skidoo!

Bumble Bee Said::
Buzz off old white man, can't you see I'm hard at work !
Ted Said:
Buzz off yourself Bee, scram, I want to photograph the dahlia without you bouncing all over the scene.
Bee Said:
Come on you bumbling idiot, there are dozens of blooms within inches, now piss off before I come and sting you.
Ted:
Sobbing uncontrollably Ted snapped a quickie and abandoned the scene, until late November.
Adios, hasta la luego.

This was taken the same evening I got Big Chicken (and told to scram by the employees there). While there was still no business at the In-N-Out, they did leave the neon lights on to be seen at night. It was still bright enough to get a decent exposure, but just beginning to get dark where the light would show up in the photo.
This is a frame capture from HD video using the Canon EOS Rebel T6 Camera, with the Canon 18-55mm zoom lens.
Since taking this photo, In-N-Out has reopened, but only for takeout and pickup service. They do let customers go in to order, but only a few at a time, and security guards are inside to make sure there are no problems.
We had at least 2 fieldfares and one redwing in the garden (plus a few blackbirds) fighting it out (sometimes literally) for our fallen apples. The fieldfare was keeping an eye on redwing (whilst pretending to look the other way; it then attached. Redwing fled but not far nor for long - almost instantly back (in a slightly different part of the garden).
Grubby little fella spends most of his time on the ground and picks up the red dust. There were a lot of these birds in certain areas. I surprised a small group in a mixed flock with young chats and thornbills but was hard pressed getting shots as they scrammed into thick cover and moved around as I tried to circle the bushes.
"The SA-43 Endo/Exo-Atmospheric Attack Jet ("Hammerhead") is the main-stay of the Marine Corps. Their SCRAM engines enable them to fly in atmosphere and the almost complete vacuum of space. Following the modular design of aircraft of the late 20th century, Hammerheads can be adapted for normal combat, search and rescue, and possibly other missions."
Prepare yourself for some gritty space action waaay before a BSG reboot (featuring 90's hairdo and sometimes weird dialog)!
"Space: Above and beyond" (or Space: 2063 in german TV) was quite contrary to my beloved Star Trek. Nonetheless I liked it a lot back then. Most prominently of course, the iconic Hammerhead attack jet.

When we were in the Badlands watching the buffalo and prairie dogs (and one wily (?) coyote) Bob said 'Barb, there's a butterfly over there'. I yelled back that it was a hummingbird moth and jumped out of the car. It scrammed so I got back in the car. It came back so I stayed in the car and shot when/how I could. It was probably safer in the car anyway :)
FRIDAY ... and then FREE AT LAST!!
Both can be viewed separately
The deer in avoidance maneuver, touched the other one on it's back side. It's a minor offense, but you'd think that it's running for its life.
This was intended to be an app for Arsenal in the DCSG, I had planned on fixing up the character and bringing him back to his prime, pre rise of arsenal, I was told I couldn't use him since he was In the outlaws series, I assumed it would be like the league where characters from it have their own series, but I decided not to argue and now I'm going to release this one story, and maybe if I get lucky I can nudge this into DCSG cannon, though that's just wishful thinking, anyways enjoy.

Star City
A couple days ago I had gotten an anonymous tip that there was gonna be some robbery in Star City, honestly I don’t know why I didn’t just tell Ollie, but nonetheless I headed back to my old home. I have been alone recently,some of my friends have left town recently on their own business, so i've been alone, if I'm being honest with myself, I'm not in the best shape right now, but I won't let that slow me down, I can take out some thugs. Soon enough two shady looking men dressed in black walk in, one's wearing a long coat, the other one a jacket, one's bearded, the other one clean shaven,normally I would be drawing my bow, but I've been using a crossbow recently my advanced arsenal helps a lot, after all there's nothing like it. __________________________________________________
"Alright Roy, you know why we came down here to the range, right?”
“Well sure Ollie, I've gotta show you my archery skills.”
“Yeah, now it's okay if you mess up at first, I'm here to support you through this” we prepared to shoot, but in a shocking turn of events, I was able to draw my bow faster, with one swift motion I launch the arrow out of my hand, when it's began to take off, Oliver launches his, the two arrows race to their respective targets, and with a loud sound on impact, Roy's arrow hits first.
“Wow...that’s speedy!” he yelled out, joy and amazement came over his words.
“You know I kinda like that name, can you call me Speedy?”
“That sounds good, Speedy." _________________________________________________
I get my mind back on the mission, trying to concentrate I keep remembering that first time firing my bow with Ollie, I look down at my crossbow, with distain. Now time for the mission to really start, gotta get these thoughts off my mind, the thugs dash out of the bank and make a break for a little alley way on the right, but they won’t get away tonight. I jump down and shoot at the bearded thug, who in a scatterbrained move, jumped on to the other thug, knocking him down.
“COME ON LET’S GET OUTTA HERE!” the bearded thug scrams away, he doesn’t have any money, only this guy. I aim the crossbow at his face and he cowers in fear. I can see him clearly now, young man, early twenties, looks like a good kid, looks can be deceiving, I’m sure scum like this would use that.
“P-please man, I’ve got a little brother at home, come on man…please” I keep my crossbow pointed directly at his head, I might do it, I haven’t done it too recently, and I used to never do it, hell it wasn’t too long ago that I switched to using a crossbow.
Looking at this young man, cower in fear of me, as I hold a deadly weapon directly at his skull, it saddens me, things, things were different back then, everything was, back in Star City, now maybe it’s time to use an old trick Ollie liked.
“Your little brother, why are you taking care of him, what caused you to get custody?”
“My family visited Gotham, me my mom, and little brother, we had so much fun, then one day, one of the big time criminals showed up, we didn’t find her body for a week, when It finally turned up it was a miracle, she was alive, but comatose, I’ve been taking care of him ever since” the words fade into the black night as I begin to ask him more questions.
“Sorry for prying, but what about your father?”
“Was a good man worked for the CIA, during the prometheus incident he was killed, that damn man took a lot away from all of us” as I hear that I look at the portion of my arm that was cut off, covered by one of the gloves I wear, back when I worked for the Government on my last mission some pretty bad stuff happened and it led me on this path. Killing, causing pain, it’s not the right way, I've been operating In newer ways recently, and now it's time to change that. “Leave and go to your brother, but you need to let me bring the money back to the bank, and stay away from your partner, he seems like he intends to get you killed, oh and nice cap, much better than a trucker hat, I hate those things” I look around, cops will be here soon, he better hurry up.
“Alright, I’ll get outta here, and I defiantly agree with you on trucker hats” he begins to sprint the opposite direction of the alley, good to see those two won’t be meeting up, now it’s time to set out on a new chapter of my life, a story of redemption.

So that was the first part of my Arsenal series, It may last north of twenty issues, maybe more, It was essentially supposed to be a Roy Harper Rebirth, but in a big epic story where he confronts an old enemy, I hope you guys enjoyed it have a good day, bye.
