It looks like lil' Eddy outfoxed his best friend Cough Drop and traded his prized sparkplug collection for an honest to goodness sammitch! Too bad it's nothin' more than an old sponge and a fist-fulla milkweed, but it's the first real meal Eddy's had in weeks. Eat up, young foop!

A nice example of the fast 80s saloon, the Alfa 75, with the classic Alfa Romeo twin cam, 4 cylinder Twin Spark engine, with 2 sparkplugs per cylinder, an engine that was in production for many years, and was a popular alternative, for the ones, who could not afford, or did not have the need, for the legendary Alfa V6 engine :)

The DB4 GT was a special lightweight, high-performance version of the DB4. Introduced in September 1959, the GT's featured enclosed headlights and a thinner aluminium skin for lighter weight. The wheelbase was also reduced in comparison to the standard car, which resulted in many cars not being fitted with rear seats.
The engine, though, was what made the GT special. Available in 3.7 L (3670 cc/223 in³) and 3.8 L (3750 cc/228 in³) versions, the GT's engine had twin sparkplugs per cylinder with two distributors and three twin-choke Weber carburettors. Modifications to the cylinder head brought compression to 9.0:1 and power output was 302 hp (225 kW).
Maximum speed for the GT was 151 mph (246 km/h)[4] with a 6.1 second sprint to 60 mph (97 km/h).
Seventy-five GTs were built with this body style. Nineteen more were modified by the Zagato works in Italy into DB4 GT Zagatos, with plain oval grilles, sans the stock GT's tail fins, and a smoothed out rear end. A single car was also styled by Bertone and dubbed the Bertone Jet.

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.
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.
Located just off of Kent Island in the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland.
An early Sparkplug style lighthouse built in 1882 is now privately owned and in desperate need of repair. Damaged in 1960 due to a fire, it was automated in 1961.
Title: At Fanshawe College St. Thomas in February 1971, everything had a name and instructor Ray Broadbent, left, made sure the girls knew not only the name of each car part, but what it did and what happened if it stops working. Here, sparkplugs were the point of the lesson for Mrs. D. A. Duncanson, centre, and Bonnie Bowes. Ray Broadbent of St. Thomas passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at the age of 81. Ray was a life-long resident of St. Thomas with the exception of three years during World War II when his family moved to Pictou, Nova Scotia where his father, a ship's plater by trade, worked in the ship yards. In 1964 Ray and his young family moved to Toronto where he attended the Ontario College of Education. During his teacher training he designed an auto shop which was included in the plans for the new Parkside Collegiate Institute where he taught from 1967 to 1994. From 1965 to 1967 and from 1984 to 1986, Ray taught at Arthur Voaden Secondary School. From 1986 until his retirement in 1989 he was in charge of Co-operative Education for Elgin County. After retirement he built two 1952 MG TD replicars, one of which is still in the family. Prior to going to teachers' college, Ray worked for 10 years at Stuart's Garage in Talbotville where he served his apprenticeship. Ray was active in the life of Central United Church for many years, having served in various positions on the church council, including two terms as Chair. He chaired the Vision '97 Committee which oversaw renovations to make the church handicap accessible. He also served on the Board of Pearce-Williams Christian Centre and was Chair when the dining room was raised and a foundation installed beneath it. As well, the Longhouse was renovated to include a chapel and a kitchenette. For over 20 years, Ray and Shirley Chaired the St. Thomas Rotary Music Festival for which he received a double Paul Harris Fellowship as well as a City of St. Thomas Volunteer Appreciation Award. Ray's first love and greatest joy was his family.

Thanks Stefan for always reminding on where the enclaves of beauty can be found in Singapore. I've had my eye on this place for a while but never got round to it.. This was a blend of 9 photographs of the same scene - 4 for the light show, 3 for the traffic trails, 1 for the building details and 1 for the long cloud movement. I would have added more lights but the clouds kind of made it difficult when they were at that region.
Selegie Road, Singapore.
Okay then, IF your Central A/C unit does not seem to be working as it should be working. Do not punch the thermostat. Thermostats are kind of sensitive. Tonya is sometimes an emotional sparkplug.
Mrs. Z shoots a pretty decent pic in Walsenburg, Colorado. This is from her little P&S Nikon. We were very lucky as they are getting ready to re-stucco this place covering the ghosts. There are more down the side.

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.
Decided to change out the spark plugs on my outboard for the pontoon boat this weekend. I liked the contrast of the clean one against the dirty. It wasn't until after I took it that I noticed the progression of grunge...
Pictures of the West Bank Light from on board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas at the beginning of our week-long cruise. The West Bank Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1901 and is in the Lower New York Bay. It serves as the front range light with the Staten Island Lighthouse serving as the rear range. This guided ships into the Ambrose Channel. I was able to see a number of lighthouses in New York Harbor this trip.

From the list of vehicles this must be late fifties to early sixties at the latest. It includes feeler gauges and a spark plug gap setting tool along with a guide to judging the condition of the spark plugs.
Last February (2014), I had one of the most fun birthday celebrations I've ever had, at Kelush's Lounge on N. Dort Hwy. (at Davison Rd.).
Chip and Melody took care such great care of us, and we ordered pizzas to be delivered from Luigi's / El Toro just up Davison Rd.
We had dollars for the jukebox, put up decorations and a few disco lights, shot a little pool, and had such great conversations around the four tables in there.
This year, we moved the party to Luigi's Restaurant since many of us have families and kids and it can be tricky to get a sitter sometimes.
I was hoping to see Chip before getting back on the road for Chicago, but the timing was off.

This "sparkplug" or "wedding cake" type lighthouse was built in 1890 and lies in the channel between the U.S. and Campobello Island Canada. The light consists of a cylindrical iron caisson 33 feet in diameter with a 5 level lighthouse on top. The caisson was attached to the channel floor by driving 185 spruce pilings into the sea bed, some to a depth of 69 feet, and then filling the caisson with concrete. The keeper's were housed in the 2 lowest floors with the 5th order Fresnel lens at the top. The lighthouse was automated and destaffed in 1939. A new canopy, which the birds enjoy, and new windows were added in 1992. The U.S. Coast Guard recently tried to sell the lighthouse to any non-profit organization willing to maintain it, but this was unsuccessful and the lighthouse was sold to a private owner in 2007.
The photo was taken from the nearest road, about a half mile from the lighthouse.
Last night's sunset was apparently amazing...I say apparently because I missed it, when I got outside I saw the remnants of the pink glow. I just watched it until it faded even more. But a few minutes later I was out shooting it, using a long exposure to capture the faint pink light. This was taken an hour after sunset, imagine what it might have been like during sunset!

Something different from my normal pictures.
Ford decided to ditch the engine cover on the 1.6 MK II Focus. Thusly making it possible for water to drip down the poorly designed windscreen washer onto the engine. Which some very bright person decided to design like a bathtub without a drain. This enables heavy rain to drown the sparkplugs in about one litre of water.
Since it is practically a Volvo engine some parts still fit and I got the Volvo engine cover (30650468) and screwed it in place. I whish I had known about that before the damage was done... well could have been worse, some people needed a new engine, my focus just new sparkplugs, cables and a drying.

It a conical steel structure erected in the 1880s. In 1979 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The need for a lighthouse to warn ships away from the shoals near the common route off Tarrytown and Ossining had been obvious by the mid-19th century. But high land values at two favored locations led the federal government to instead build it a half-mile (1 km) offshore. It was the only family station on the lower Hudson, the only conical steel lighthouse on the Hudson to have living quarters within it rather than attached, and the only lighthouse in Westchester County. It remained in use until the mid-20th century; the construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge on the shoals where it stood, and the development of the General Motors Tarrytown Truck Assembly plant on land reclaimed from the river to its east, made the light obsolete. Today it is part of a county park, and tours are available.
