The conical spark plug style Spring Point ledge Light was built in 1897 at the entrance to Portland Harbor. The first floor of the tower was used for storage, and upper floors contained a galley kitchen, bedrooms and a watch room. The light was automated in 1934. In 1951, a breakwater was built to connect the light to the mainland. The U.S. Coast Guard turned over the light to the Spring Point Ledge Light Trust in 1998. The light is an active aid to navigation. (Source: Various)
Pictures of the Robbins Reef Light from on board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas at the beginning of our week-long cruise. The Robbins Reef Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1883 (replacing a light that was built in 1839). It is very close to Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey. I was able to see a number of lighthouses in New York Harbor this trip. On board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas for the Seven Night Labadee & Puerto Plata Cruise (November 6th through 13th, 2022). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ) with stops at Labadee, Haiti and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic before heading back to New York City. The itinerary changed after Hurricane Nicole canceled our planned stops.
Spring Point Ledge Light
Spring Point Ledge Light is a sparkplug lighthouse in South Portland, Maine that marks a dangerous obstruction on the west side of the main shipping channel into Portland Harbor. It is now adjacent to the campus of Southern Maine Community College.
History
The lighthouse was constructed in 1897 by the government after seven steamship companies stated that many of their vessels ran aground on Spring Point Ledge. Congress initially allocated $20,000 to its construction, although the total cost of the tower ended up being $45,000 due to problems with storms and poor quality cement. The lighthouse featured a fog bell that sounded twice every 12 seconds, and a lantern fitted with a fifth order Fresnel lens first lit by Keeper William A. Lane on May 24, 1897.
Improvements were made to the lighthouse throughout the 20th century. It was electrified in 1934, and in 1951, a 900-foot breakwater made from 50,000 short tons (45,000 t) of granite was constructed in order to connect the lighthouse to the mainland. The lighthouse was originally owned and operated by the United States Coast Guard. However, on April 28, 1998, the Maine Lights Selection Committee approved a transfer of ownership of the tower to the Spring Point Ledge Light Trust, with the USCG retaining only the light and fog signal. On May 22, 1999, Spring Point Ledge Light was opened to the public for the first time in its history. It is a popular spot on any summer day for families to picnic and boat-watch on the breakwater or for fisherman to spend an afternoon catching fish. Adjacent to the lighthouse, visitors may also tour the old Fort Preble, the Southern Maine Community College Campus, and visit a small gift shop.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Spring Point Ledge Light Station on January 21, 1988, reference number 87002279.

In June 2011, the General Services Administration made the Orient Point Light available at no cost to public organizations willing to preserve them. It can be found off Orient Point at the end of Oyster Point Reef on the western side of Plum Gut. It throws a flashing a white light every five seconds; its tower is 24 feet tall, 21 feet wide at base, 18 feet wide at top, brick lined, of cast iron plate construction and painted brown on top and white on bottom. At the top of the tower (below the lantern) is a watch deck; the foundation is a concrete-filled cast iron caisson 32 feet tall with a 25 foot diameter. 1899: Constructed; First Keeper, Ole N. A. Anderson; 1954: Automated; 1970: Coast Guard announced that the light will be extinguished and demolished; 1973, Work began to restore the light; 1978: Light was upgraded to compensate for the extinguishing of the Plum Island light; 1999: The light celebrated its 100th birthday.

Transformers Armada Optimus Prime is something I've been wanting to try and build with Lego since late 2017/early 2018. Back then, the available parts at the time meant that building it up to my standards of articulation with reasonable stability would have been borderline impossible. So I ended up shelving the project for several years while I practiced building other things. This was BEFORE it was announced that a new Armada Prime Transformer toy was in the works.
Fast forward to last year, 2022. Lego started producing new ratchet joint parts that were more compact of multiple sizes. Combined with the re-emergence of Armada Transformer toys, I was re-inspired, and knew my time was now to get this project done. I'd had a lot of time to think about it, so I started tinkering with the build, this time fully intent on finishing the project.
I have a tendency to be a perfectionist, which causes me to over-stress over the details. I wanted it ALL out of this Lego MOC: A fully functional Armada Optimus Prime figure with truck cab and trailer, cab robot and and base mode, and most importantly the super mode combination. All with the most articulation I could manage, with all necessary features, accessories, and even both Minicons! The only thing I wasn't worried about was the motorized gimmicks lol, because as cool as the original leader class toy was, I still wished it had knees.
Thank the Lord Jesus, after a year of building, and the last month preparing a video to showcase it (a kind that I had never done before, plus I hate the sound of my own voice lol), it is FINALLY DONE. The project is now complete!
The Armada version of Optimus Prime is a bit obscure these days, but the original deluxe-class figure was my first ever Transformer, and I have fond memories of it, so I'll never forget it. I hope that those who recognize it will like this Lego version! I'm glad to have finally gotten it done.

Looking a little ropey after 1000 miles since a wash. I have just washed her now. Had an oil change, new oil filter and sparkplugs last week, along with fluid levels topped and new wipers. Clocked over 160k just as I arrived home on saturday evening. She performed faultlessly on the 400mile round trip. Bulletproof!
Sparkplug light sitting on shoal in the channel between the U.S. and Campobello Island. Sure glad I brought my tripod on this trip.
My Bandit is running poorly. One of it's cylinders isn't firing properly causing bad combustion.
When you hold a handkerchief or paper towel to an exhaust it should not stain with soot in a couple of seconds.
I took out the old sparkplug and replaced it with a new one. Alas no real improvement (yet).
Probably needs a carburator clean.
Other things to check: I can touch exhaust number 4 after 30 seconds. Exhausts 1 to 3 are too hot to touch. It means the combustion in carburator 4 isn't good enough.
Check for water inside the sparkplug enclosure. There wasn't any. Check power of the sparkplug lead by attaching the sparkplug outside the engine and grounding it to the vents and then power your motorcycle. The sooted sparkplug still gave electrical power. This means the lead to the sparkplug is still working and OK. The new sparkplug had a nicer bluer spark.
Sooty sparkplug?: Over-rich fuel/air mixture, faulty choke operation or blocked air filter.
