It was the middle of October, so most of the small boats that use these slips on Lake Champlain had been taken out of the water for the winter.

life slips by, flowing away from me like the river. Death patiently waits to carry me away. Agfa Super Isolette and Kodak Portra 400VC.
The dollar slipped and global equity markets were mostly flat on Friday after a solid but below-expectations U.S. jobs report for October took the edge off a months-long rally in both the greenback and stocks.
U.S. job growth increased at a brisk clip in October and unemployment fell to a...

The slips of paper that one can buy at the shrine normally are tied onto nearby branches. The trees are much worse for the wear of traffic all year around, so this frame is a convenience and tree saver: if the statement is good, then tying on the line in the shrine precincts leaves one's hope that it may be fulfilled. If the statement is not favorable, leaving it behind is for the best, too. The copper statue of the horse is one of the figures associated with speed and privilege; a messenger to/from the Gods.

Routered the slips out of a plank cut in the circular saw and finnished on the router table. Great to have to right tools.#

Beside cliff-top path amongst World War II Chain Home Low Radar buildings, 500 yards East of Heath Farm. Since 1998 the cliff path has been closed because of land slips but it is still passable from the north with care.
The Royal Observer Corps Post is in a very dilapidated condition with all ventilation louvres and the hatch missing. The concrete of both the main access shaft and the ventilation shaft has suffered from erosion and part of the ventilation shaft is missing. There is an aerial bracket on the ventilation shaft indicating this was a master post. The installation of radio equipment only started in February 1968 and master posts were generally not closed during the 1968 reorganisation.
Internally the post is flooded to a depth of about 15 inches, this level has increased since a visit in 1998. The post has been stripped of all internal fittings, in 1998 a single bed remained but this has now gone. The site has suffered from coastal erosion and is now precariously perched on the cliff top, a pillbox associated with the radar station now lies on the beach below.
A concrete plinth surrounded by railings stands on top of the adjacent Chain Home Low radar building. This was for aircraft observation. Opened in 1957 and closed in 1968.
Experience from World War Two identified that there would be a need for increased protection from enemy aircraft if the United Kingdom was ever faced with the prospect of being at war again. Although the ROC was finding that aircraft monitoring was becoming increasingly difficult to plot with the development of new faster aircraft, new aircraft monitoring posts were developed to assist observers to monitor aircraft.
The idea for these new posts originated in 1947, however it was only during 1951/52 as part of the programme to update the air defences through the Rotor Plan that more substantial buildings were built to offer at least some level of protection from the elements or attack. Although some of these new structures were built of brick, many sites received pre-cast concrete panelled structures known as ''Orlit Posts'', after the manufacturers of the structures Messrs Orlit Ltd.
These Orlit structures were split into two sections. The entrance door led into the smaller roofed section which was used as a shelter and store with a sliding door into the open section which housed the post instrument and chart on top of a wooden mounting. There were two types of Orlit posts, the Orlit 'A' was at ground level and the Orlit 'B' was raised 6 feet off the ground on four legs with a ladder for access.
