I decided upon a ready-for-market series. I recently traveled to the Hover mansion/experimental farmstead started in the early Twentieth century. The Hover farm produced specialty and hybridized seed stock. Ensilage from the cutter, left, was stored in the silo and grains were stored in the granaries. Area farmers could back their wagons up, buy and load their specialty seed stock from the mill/granaries. I suppose that the structures were rather diminutive because it dispensed specialty seed grains that were meant to be replanted.
Much of the Hover Farm production was devoted to developing seed crops like the pure Marquis wheat and Wisconsin Pedigree grown to be sold as seed. Hover experimented to develop new rust resistant strains of wheat. He used a seed cleaning machine and sacked the seed for sale for the next year's crop. Hover also processed corn, oats and barley that was stored in various sections in his on-site mill using his agricultural leg elevator... Hover Home, Longmont Historical Society.
From the Hover Home web site: "In the early 1900's, Charles and Catherine Hover came to Colorado from Chicago. Charles was semi-retired after having had a very successful and lucrative career as a wholesale pharmaceutical salesman. He moved to Denver where he helped his brother part time, who was in the same business of pharmaceutical sales. The Hovers were in Denver a relatively short period of time when Charles' health began to fail. They moved to Longmont and bought the property on the west side of town in hopes that Charles' health would improve with "country living."
The Hovers lived a quiet country life on the outskirts of Longmont. Their property included many acres west of a line that now extends from Mountain View Avenue to Highway 66. Charles dabbled at being a "gentleman farmer" and shared the profits of the crops raised on the land 50-50 with his tenant farmers.
Construction of the Hover home took four years to complete and was ready for their occupancy in 1912. The beautiful, Tudor style Hover home consists of 3,500 square feet of living space and includes many "modern" conveniences that were unheard of and considered quite eccentric and extravagant at the time. "The total cost of the home in 1912 was $25,000."

Casements served many purposes. In peacetime they were ideal spaces for storage or a prison. In times of war their thick vaulted ceilings offered the best possible shelter available in the era. During the sieges of 1745 and 1758, when Louisbourg came under heavy bombardment, women and children sought refuge in the casements like this.

Re-purposed a little desktop storage shelf into a storage bench for the dolls today. Tabby & Nala seem fairly happy with it :)

Plate storage, what won't fit into the drawers gets put into bins on the shelves. I need to work on bulking up on some colors, but its a work in progress.
This takes a bit of time to sort, but I never have to look long when I am building.
This large vitnage Skipper and Scooter storage box holds 4 dolls and lots of my odds and ends (clone or TLCish). I bought it full of clothing - some of which was just awful handmade stuff.

Locomotive History for D158 / 46021
D158 was new to service on 15/03/1962 and was allocated to Derby (17A) shed. It was renumbered as 46021 in 1974. Withdrawn after collision damage [seen in my other shot taken that day] on 16/01/1983 and eventually dismantled at Swindon Works in 1985.
And a more detailed Locomotive History for D158 / 46021 46021 was built at Derby works as D158, entering traffic in March 1962 and would spend its early years on Midland Main Line duties until becoming a Bristol engine in the early 1970’s. After eighteen years service it would fall victim to the mass storage of class 46 locomotives (at Swindon) at the end of the 1980 summer timetable. However at the end of 1981 an increased demand for Type 4 locomotives found the BR looking to the storage lines at Swindon for an answer and brought back into service were 46006/07/10/17/18/21/22/25/38/50/54. Although officially reinstated on the 29th November 1981 46021 did not leave Swindon works for Bristol Bath Road and an A Exam before re-entering traffic until the 17th December 1981. 46021 would survive in traffic for just over a year before being withdrawn again in January 1983. Following withdrawal it was towed to Stratford DRS as a source of spares before eventually arriving at Swindon works where it was broken up in June 1985.

Photos that were nearly lost to oblivion!
The original slide was rescued from a box of 'duds' that I could never quite bring myself to throw away - now I am glad that I kept them ;)
Taken with a Zenith TTL SLR camera and standard lens. Scanned from the original slide with minimal digital restoration

Dear diary,
I had to get something from our storage room. While I was balancing on the ladder I suddenly saw Yoko's face. I fell down, grabbed one of the shelves and came crashing down with all the supplies on top of me. After I freed myself Yoko was nowhere to be seen. Wow that was spooky!

A cell that seems to have been used for storage at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Penitentiary opened in 1829 and closed in 1971, remaining abandoned for several decades before being re-opened as a tourable historical attraction.

Last month I took my little nephew Stephen for a trip to the storage of world-famous idols, which is located near Mexico City. As you can see they have very big halls there, so we got lost several times. Many people work there, even some gigantic robots. It is so big that they built highways to connect the different areas. All the idols parked there are well maintained and kept ready for their next operations.
