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.

Aquila was demonstrating how pressure can displace water!
First pass through the North American exhibits provided little in the way of animal photos. As I came back around I heard a lot of noise coming from Aquila's way. When I got to the underwater view there were small children gleefully being entertained. Aquila was taking a page out of Willy's book and swimming towards the glass!
It was very crowded and I was pretty lucky to get these shots without little hands in the frame. It is really great to see the small children so interested in him. Hopefully there will still be some in the wild when they are adults!
(errand day, will visit later!)
Not much to add that I haven’t already said in yesterday’s post revealing 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System. They did confirm a few things: The price is officially $229.99. The interactivity with the Mario brick won’t have him play the theme song, but instead has him react “to on-screen enemies, obstacles and power-ups just as he […]

Took me some great time, but at last I finished it! I'm proud to present to you:
The Daniel Defense RIS II is an innovative upgrade for the M4A1, M16A4, and MK18 CQB/R. The Daniel Defense Rail Interface System II (DD RIS II) was designed at the request of the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) for the SOPMOD II weapons system. SOCOM had a specific requirement for a rail system which would accommodate a M203 40mm grenade launcher and still free float the barrel. Daniel Defense responded with a product, the DD RIS II, that met this requirement without the use of additional parts or special tools. This was accomplished by integrating all of the needed parts to mount the M203 into the rail itself. After years of rigorous testing by Special Forces Operators, Daniel Defense was selected as the Sole Source Provider of the RIS II to SOCOM. Daniel Defense has and is still delivering thousands of units and they are continuing to be fielded by SOCOM.

Pay attention: the code are very big!
I think I can make codelight RIS, tell me which one of these do you want, thanks.
Credit to Lucky for the DD MK.18 FSP RIS II that I used as base for all the other RIS, and Miko for alphabet; you can see Yeehaw's DD logo on background.
Enjoy ;D
p.s tagged few people who I think are interested to see (and maybe use) them.

Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
Remnants of the American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) Long Lines intercity microwave system making up the long distance service of the Bell System. One of the last remaining bits of the system which is nearly all dismantled now. This is on the roof of the old Mountain Bell central office serving Provo, Utah.

W mijającym tygodniu przyszło mi trochę czasu spędzić w podróży🚗🚙 po kraju, oczywiście oprócz spraw "ważnych"💼👔 starczyło czasu aby zrobić kilka kadrów zarówno w Warszawie jak i Trójmieście.
Miałem również szczęście do lotów inaugarcyjnych wznawiających ruch międzynarodowy na dobrze nam znanych trasach. Wczoraj w Gdańsku wylądował pierwszy samolot 🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪SAS z Copenhagi po ponad 2,5 miesięcznej przerwie. 😁😁😁Samolot o znakach EI-FPU wylądował około 13:20 by po czterdziestu minutach udać się w podróż powrotną do Danii.

A car I recently enquired about with a view to purchasing. I mean, how awesome would TWO beige Sierras be?!
A well used but trusty example. It was a one owner from new car until very recently, following the elderly owner's death. It was then passed down and used as a cheap runabout before being sold on.
Pros:
It fired up and drove with plenty of gusto.
All fully functional.
Solid thanks to rust repairs.
Cons:
Rough. Rougher than mine.
An awful lot of rust repairs, in some absurd places too.
Modifications: chopped suspension, Mondeo alloys, techy sound system, performance brakes & performance exhaust.
Ultimately, I walked away. Priced at a keen £1,000, I totted up the costs of reverting back the modifications to standard and it ran too expensive. I can live with some modifications but overall it just didn't have that retro charm anymore.

What do Hi-C, COOL-AID, and CAPRI-SUN have in common? They like to bask in the sun...or solar flares! ☀️
Low-noise cameras – built at #NASAMarshall - took to the skies on board a sounding rocket for a never-before-seen view of a solar flare.
In this image, from left, Austin Bumbalough, Ken Kobayashi, Harlan Haight, Sabrina Savage, William Hogue, Jim Cecil, and Adam Kobelski, members of the Hi-C Flare team, gather after the payload was recovered and brought to Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska. Hi-C Flare, equipped with Hi-C 3, COOL-AID, CAPRI-SUN, and SSAXI, launched into a solar flare as part of the first-ever solar flare sounding rocket campaign.

“Frigid and mysterious, Pluto is the outermost planet of our solar system. Whirling through space at an average of 3,600,000,000 miles from the Sun, Pluto takes more than 248 years to complete its orbit. Because so little is known about the yellowish ninth planet, it has been appropriately named for the mythological god of the dark underworld. If man eventually reaches Pluto he conceivably could use it as an outpost to search for other planets and life beyond our solar system.”
To me, a brilliant depiction of the mysterious unknowns ‘out there’. From the wonderful romantic, nostalgic & inviting glow/aura/halo of Pluto…with the hint of an unknown surface/atmospheric feature at the terminator, to the scattered smaller bodies/dwarf planets beyond. The dense, ‘full-frame’ stellar, nebular & galactic vista beyond is so evocative & beckoning, isn’t it? Superb. Masterful artistic license employed by Mr. Wilson during his time with/work for World Book Encyclopedia. I often tout black and white, but this must’ve been eye-popping in color.
I’ll refrain from a “Pluto demotion” rant & instead go to my tried, true, tiresome & pointless refrain: brilliant artwork, pretty much all gone, like it (THEY) never happened (WERE HERE). Reality, I get it, it’s unrealistic to honor, remember & ‘eulogize’ the plethora of ‘space’ artists. Too bad there isn’t an online central repository. Sad & disappointing.
I know there are WAY WAY worse things to lament...like the precipitous descent & near/imminent demise of humankind...but other than that, or actually...in addition to that, you, me, we...will never see the color version of this. It probably doesn't even exist anymore, although there is a chance that Mr. Wilson's family may have it. They seemed to have really recognized and honored his legacy. What a novel concept.
I would’ve loved to have seen this in color.
