Cedar City, UT
7/1/16
After filming and taking pictures of residential service in Cedar City, I decided to look for some commercial trucks. To my surprise, I stumbled upon an Ex Bakersfield Volvo S.T.S. (Smart Trucks Systems) K7000. The S.T.S. is named “Brownie” and although Brownie is a spare truck but it is the drivers favorite truck. The driver, John, likes brownie because trash rarely fall behind the hopper and when trash does fall behind it is easy to clean, and Brownie is a strong truck and can lift dumpsters with heavy construction debris easily. I hope everybody enjoys seeing a true California classic in Southern Utah, just an hour North of the mini Amrep FL in St. George Utah.
Big thank you to John for letting me follow him around and talking to me about the S.T.S. Also, a big thanks to H&C Sanitation for keeping the S.T.S. alive and running. Between Cedar City and St. George, Utah really has some of the nicest drivers.

Vermont Rail System GP38-2s 201 & 202, and GP40-2W #310 lead eastbound train #263 past the old Rutland RR freight house on the Bellows Falls Sub at Gassetts, VT on March 1, 2008.

Astronomical seeing was pretty decent when I captured the Jupiter data for the image immediately proceeding this one. My optics were starting to dew over, to I replaced the front cover, waited for an hour and found that the dew heater had completely dried the front glass on my SCT. I slewed to Mars and found that astronomical seeing had dramatically worsened. Being at the telescope and ready for another capture, I did 10 iRGB runs of 45s per filter at gain 400. In processing I found the B channel completely unuseable and the G channel not much better. I tried combining the colors anyway, and the image barely looked like Mars. The R channel, captured in IR, looked pretty decent, so I salvaged what I could.

Also in the sun at Ashington after the closure of the railway system was this pair of former class 14s locomotives.
The nearest, NCB9107/57 was former BR D9555 and, at the time of upload, is preserved at the Dean Forest Railway.
The second loco, NCB No7, was formerly D9518 and is also preserved, this time at the West Somerset Railway.

A southbound Central Oregon & Pacific train near Cornutt, Oregon is just about to enter Cow Creek Canyon. Until the Bureau of Land Management built a road through the canyon in the 1970s, the Siskiyou Line was the only means of accessing the remote area.
Signal 5396 is the first signal in the automatic block signal system that stretches from here north to the end of CORP trackage at Springfield Junction. Southbound, the line is dark (no signals) for the next 32 miles between this point and Glendale.

Prairie dogs will chirp as an alarm for other prairie dogs, when they see potential danger. The ones at the zoo are accustomed to humans; this little guy may have seen a vulture overhead.
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard is seen atop a mobile launcher at Launch Complex 39B illuminated by spotlights, Saturday, April 2, 2022, as the Artemis I launch team conducts the wet dress rehearsal test at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Ahead of NASA’s Artemis I flight test, the wet dress rehearsal will run the Artemis I launch team through operations to load propellant, conduct a full launch countdown, demonstrate the ability to recycle the countdown clock, and drain the tanks to practice timelines and procedures for launch.

These desert trees have long root systems that seek out any available water. With erosion taking away the soil cover, this tree will not survive much longer.

NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard is seen illuminated by spotlights atop a mobile launcher at Launch Complex 39B, Friday, March 18, 2022, after being rolled out to the launch pad for the first time at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Ahead of NASA’s Artemis I flight test, the fully stacked and integrated SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft will undergo a wet dress rehearsal at Launch Complex 39B to verify systems and practice countdown procedures for the first launch.

Yes I did it again. Climbed to the top of Mt Coot-Tha at 6am! With camera this time. There was a lot of water and we had to wade through some fast flowing creeks after all that rain yesterday.

Special thanks to Instagram user m1ndxbend3r for the inspiration. The Mechanized Mobile Combat System Mk. III, abbreviated MeMoCS, is a state-of-the-art multi-role military platform designed to operate in any modern battlefield and conditions, from open spaces to urban combat. It's an anthropomorphic mecha with 6 limbs, 4 upper and 2 lower. The most modern and advanced techniques and engineering discoveries in the military field were used to create the MeMoCS platform: an armor in composite materials and new ultra-resistant alloys was made to protect against a wide range of threats (mines, RPGs, IEDs, heavy calibers, and some types of cannon shells). Also has active contermeasures. New and more powerful miniaturized servomotors and servomechanisms have been used to guarantee unprecedented smoothness of movement. Power is guaranteed by a hydrogen fuel cell battery, with an autonomy of 72 hours of average consumption, which extends up to a week in stand-by mode. The cockpit can accommodate a single pilot who maneuvers the MeMoCS safely, as it is protected by a very resistant capsule, and equipped with NBC protection. The MeMoCS Mk. III is equipped with numerous sensors: high definition optical viewer, high sensitivity thermal viewer, laser warning system, radar, jammer, and is equipped with an advanced radio, satellite and GPS communication system, plus a modern situational awareness system that, together with its powerful computer, makes it a fearsome weapon, versatile and adaptable. Given its multirole nature, it can be equipped with a wide range of weapons: rifles, CROW systems, missile pods (both ATGM and surface-to-air), sidearms and shields.
I found PoIC is not just bottom-up system. Feed back from the obtained knowledge affect emerging new index cards as top-down.

No need to stop at the gas station to refuel this vehicle, although an occasional stop for hay and water would help keep it running smoothly.
The engine has three donkey-power. Can you count all 12 legs?
On our visit to a local village in Zimbabwe, we were able to observe a style of life very different from our own and meet many wonderful local people, who seemed both very happy in their less complicated world, but at the same time very curious about ours.
See two of the local boys in comments below.
