I am not sure if 'ancient' is the correct term for describing the irrigation system found at this historic mission in San Antonio, Texas. I find the engineering of the system to be incredibly interesting. Which mission is this? Correct, Glenn Stuart! This is located at Mission San Jose.
Surprisingly, hoisting that baby up on to the cake board and riser went well. I only had a mild heart attack when I realized one of my wheel wells had collapsed a bit. Now on to make the tires.

To continue his work, a construction worker secures clamps on a section of metal on the surface of Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 26, 2018. The launch pad has undergone upgrades and modifications to accommodate NASA's Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft for Exploration Mission-1 and subsequent missions. Upgrades include new heat-resistant bricks on the walls of the flame trench and installation of a new flame deflector. All of the upgrades have been managed by Exploration Ground Systems.

Interstellar bureaucracy is a MESS. It's not like some pencil-pusher on the capital world is going to have eyes-on clearance, he's just spitting out designations for everything that crosses his desk.

Fairly sure this is the first 100-stud-plus model I've finished (antennae count, right?)
The engine service platform that will provide access to the core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket arrives in High Bay 3 of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 14, 2019. The large work platform is designed to provide unrestricted access to the RS-25 engines on the SLS core stage from the ML. The service platform will be used for Artemis 1 and subsequent missions. For Artemis 1, the Orion spacecraft will launch atop the SLS rocket from Launch Pad 39B and begin an approximately three-week mission that will send Orion thousands of miles beyond the Moon. Exploration Ground Systems is overseeing work on the ML. Photo credit: NASA/Ben Smegelsky

1985 -Nintendo was the big step up in video gaming from the old Atari systems-these required you to blow into the cartridges sometimes to get it to work.
"The GS M9-55 Atmospheric Patrol Craft, commonly known as the 'Glory Snow,' was initially hailed as revolutionary for its 'Shield Trigger' system, by which the deflector shields deployed only after the craft's data systems detected imminent enemy fire. However, flaws in the system resulted in the majority of shield deployments occurring too late to protect the craft from the ubiquitous laser weaponry. Following this embarrassing discovery, the project was quickly scuttled. The few units which remain still see some use by private citizens, where the delayed shield system provides adequate protection from non-laser weaponry while remaining power efficient."
Continuing experiments with System, SNOT, and some shapes I wanted to try out. Also, I found a good background to use when photographing white!

Probably the most awkward aspect of developing films at home is getting your exposed film onto a reel and into a developing tank. It can be quite a fiddly process and, on top of that, it has to be done in complete darkness, so you can’t even see what you are doing.

This system leaves nothing to be desired. No need to download an 'old phone' ring tone and it's resistant to digital signals. It hangs in the pass between two halls of the aviation museum in Altenrhein. I forgot to ask whether it's still in use, but I have not seen another phone anywhere. That figures! Went to the aviation museum and came out with a photo of an old phone. Airport St.Gallen-Altenrhein, Switzerland, Mar 22, 2009.

One of the protective systems of a fortress gun 93 L52, caliber 15.5 cm. It disguises the thermal image with a water curtain. The chain curtain was already there at older cannons which are disused. Due to the ladder rungs, you can guess how big such a thing is. These facilities are still operational and classified, therefore no geotags. Rhine Valley, Switzerland, Feb 14, 2011.
Update: The guns were shut down in fall 2011, but not declassified.
Ruby Reservoir and Dam, near P&J Ranches where Producer Steve Burke (black baseball cap) and other landowners use water from the Ruby Reservoir at the base of the Ruby Mountains where water flows along the West Bench Canal, just above the mountain base, above the farmlands; along the way, improved U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funded control valves allow water through debris grates and additional (self-cleaning) rotating cylindrical algae filter screens before entering inlets to funded Irrigation Water Management systems and into the (gravity-flow) Irrigation Pipeline that supplies five center-pivot and one wheel-line Sprinkler System without the use of pumps in Sheridan, MT, on August 28, 2019. The elevation drop from the canal to the sprinklers provides the needed water pressure to efficiently spray water out of the hanging sprinkler nozzles and the gun sprinklers with a rocker-arm drive. This improved water availability, reduced irrigation labor, reduced runoff and erosion, reduced water use, increased yield, cut costs.
Mr. Burke worked with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) District Conservationist John Wagoner (tan baseball cap and sunglasses) and NRCS Soil Conservation Technician Clayton Marxer (straw cowboy hat).
The irrigation sprinklers systems are fully controlled and monitored from his smartphone connected to the local rural broadband network.
To check the soil health, Mr. Burke uses a hand auger to drill into the soil and pull out samples from his crops.
At this time, he is busy operating a combine to harvest the wheat from the fields. Then his son Steve Burke, Jr., uses stacker equipment to collect the big straw bales quickly.

The whole system including the CDP-X777ES. Next to the Rega is an NS-9100ES DVD/SACD player. For SACD it sounds fantastic. For CD with the video section turned off, it sounds noticeably better than the older 777 and 707 players. Next week I will add a Musical Fidelity V-DAC to the 777 and see how it compares.
Yesterday, i was invited to visit David McConville's amazing Geodome in his wonderful home here in West Asheville. The inside of the dome was projected, from a single macbook, a map of our known space outside Earth. The progression of moving back from the earth to the edge of the universe was a process - complete with informative monologue from David - was a total mind blower.
The progression is in the next 10 photographs, but the scale and gorgeousness of the entire process was amazing.
This is our solar system with the paths (relative in size) of the inner planets, outer planets and that blue thing we call pluto.
These are the signs PapaTom built for the Cosmos Research Center Solar System Model. The scale is for the sun to be 1" in diameter, and Pluto to be 354 feet away. Alpha Centauri, the nearest star, would be 435 miles away.

LaCrosse Missile System
The difficulty in directing conventional artillery on fortified targets caused great concern during WW II and the Korean War. The Forward Observer needed a large number of rounds to register a gun on such a target, consequently revealing the position of the gun to the enemy.
The M4 LaCrosse Missile System was designed to provide precision fire against enemy pillboxes, blockhouses and similarily constructed strongpoints. It could also be used to attack other enemy targets such as troop concentrations, material and supply lines.
The missile is mounted and transported on a standard 2 1/2-ton truck. It is assembled from its two basic components, and the wings and fins quickly snapped into place. A Forward Observer Team measured the distance to the target, fed this information into a Jeep-mounted computer and the missile was guided to its target by radar signals with pinpoint accuracy.
The missile consists of a solid-fueled rocket motor, four wings and fins, and a choice of three warheads: nuclear, conventional high-explosive and shaped-charge.
The Lance Missile System replaced the LaCrosse Missile System on the battlefield in the 1960's.

For those interested, this is our rain barrel system. We took video to explain it, haven't gotten around to editing it yet.
We have 7-55 gallon barrels all hooked together. They fill at the same time and drain together. We have one spigot to fill watering cans and a pump with another spigot for use with the hose or sprinkler.
There's an overflow as well, they're all hooked together and overflow into the downspout if they're full. We have a clear tube at the end so we can see how much water we have. The system is also easily expandable if we want to add more barrels, we think we can fit 7-10 more across the back of the garage.
One of the best things about this system is the cost. We only spent about $120 for the entire system (including deck). The deck was built with lumber we removed from the deck on our house, we wanted a smaller sized deck on the house. The barrels are food grade plastic barrels and cost us only $10 each (you want to make sure you don't get barrels that had chemicals in them). We spent about $50 on other materials, posts, PVC (we also had some of that sitting around that we used up).
061615: Marfa, TX - The Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) is low-level airborne ground surveillance system that uses aerostats (moored balloons) as radar platforms. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Air and Marine Operations use the TARS to provide persistent, long-range detection and monitoring (radar surveillance) capability for interdicting low-level air, maritime and surface smugglers and narcotics traffickers.

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
