Pictures of the Robbins Reef Lighthouse from on board the Jewel of the Seas on Embarkation Day - Thursday September 14th, 2023 as we headed up to Manhattan for our brief sailaway. 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 Jewel of the Seas for a grand 14 day cruise to Greenland (September 14th through 28th, 2023).

Goose Rocks Light is a sparkplug lighthouse located near North Haven, Maine in Penobscot Bay. It stands at the eastern entrance to the Fox Islands Thoroughfare, a busy mile-wide passage separating North Haven from Vinalhaven. Built in 1890, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Goose Rocks Light Station on January 21, 1988.
Sakonnet is one of about thirty surviving “spark plug” lighthouses, so called because of their appearance. (Most of the spark plugs were built before the gasoline engine came into common use, and so were originally referred to as “coffee pots” or sometimes “bug lights.”) The sparkplug lights were typically prefabricated on shore, barged to the site, and put into place with floating cranes. They are usually located offshore, and most of them are found in the Northeastern and mid-Atlantic states.
We had an amazing time on board the Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas on our seven night cruise of New England and Canada (July 27th through August 3rd, 2018). Our first stop was Portland (Maine) and we took the "Lighthouses of Maine" shore excursion. We could not get on the morning excursion, so ours left at 2pm in the afternoon. The timing might have been very optimal as it clouded up a bit and those amazing clouds that contributed to some fantastic pictures. The excursion provided visits to three lighthouses. The Spring Point Ledge Light is a sparkplug lighthouse built in 1897 and located in South Portland. These are pictures taken at the Spring Point Ledge Light include a few of Portland Head Light and the Adventure of the Seas at port. Taken on Sunday July 29th, 2018.

Servicing my second 2CV6 Charleston (the two-tone grey one), approx 1991. A grubby, tiring job for sure, but very satisfying once completed. With cars becoming more and more computerised, servicing has become something you more often than not pay others to do for you. So this represents something the younger drivers of today, and the future, may never get to do. And they'll never know they missed it. Yes, I know that makes me sound old.

"Don't start anything" is the punchline to an old an convolute joke about a guy wearing a set of jumpleads as a tie to get into a club.
In this case I do want it to start something. I'm having problems with the bike, which despite flying through an MOT is having a problem with randomly cutting out.
There's all kinds of parts in the chain that could be wrong, but following some advice in a forum I'm eliminating the easy and cheap stuff first.
It's always a problem working on a vehicle like mine, which is comparatively old but staggeringly low miles. Stuff that ages is aged, but stuff that wears isn't worn.
The current spark plug is the one it left the factory with, so fifteen years old. For £3.50 I think I can stand to replace it.
I'll keep you posted...
