Day 303 [10-29-2016]
Halloween dance. I am not a person who is good with dances and parties. I enjoy small groups of friends together having fun. Not loud crazy music with so many people that I don't know. I was invited up to UNH by my girlfriend who wanted me to go to the dance with her. I said yes because I thought it would be fun to do a couples costume with her and I want her to have a fun time. I didn't really know anyone there very well and it was a typical dance environment. I will say it was nice to be with her and have a good time that is for sure. It is nice up here.
I can't wait to see what the next day brings!
The Stafford Coal & Iron Co. had collieries, Stafford Nos.1 and 2 and Hem Heath plus brickworks in Stoke-on-Trent. A classic 'blue brick' and rock hard

Robin had a punch of spare pavers, so she had me make a path in her garden. It only took 8 hours.
The pavers are from Mutual Materials, the brick edging was already on the scene and just needed readjustment.
Nearly half-way finished with the fireplace and taking much longer than I expected. I slid the electric heater inside today so we could get an idea of how it will look.
If/when this heater dies, we've made the space big enough to accept one of slightly larger dimensions.
(502), This is a piece of wood taken from an old broken Brick Hod to show how LBC branded their equipment in the early days.
When I built my first house in 1975, I bought a truck and trailer load of hand made bricks from Mexico. They are called Mexican Fire Bricks. When I started my second house in 1982, I bought another truck and trailer load to add to the remainder of the first load. Total, there were 44 pallets and about 40,000 bricks. I paid 8 cents a piece for them - delivered! I now have just one pallet left.
(527), This will bring back a few memories for the people that worked in the old Warboys Works, No17.
These bricks have interesting marks on them, apparently from resting on other bricks in the kiln.
On my neighbors house in Toronto. Probably made at the Toronto Brick Works around 1910.
6 courses of stretchers between each header course. Approximately a Scottish Bond pattern.
Took a pile of pictures at Brick Fiesta this year. Turnout was a bit disappointing compared to last year, but still had fun. I seemed to be damn near the only non-Texan at the con.
Dan Siskand and company are nuts. But it must be nice to write this off as a business expense.
I found this wagon wheel cemented in someone's brick wall, and I thought, "how strange it should be trapped in such an urban setting " Where has this travelled? Who's hands fashioned this? How long ago? What are it's stories? Hmmmmm.
Star bricks are some of the most commonly found locally, and there were several brickworks in the area. This one is from Newport. Found on Sunnybank Road, Griffithstown
I've finally begun animating again, after almost six months of filming nothing. This happened last year too, I think THAC really helps with motivation.
A brick wall in a backstreet in Katajanokka, Helsinki, Finland. I like the way the light was falling on this window and the way it was 'framed' by some steel pipes.
Just because... A brick and row of lights in a mall parking lot... Picked up the new iPhone 4S (I was on a 3GS). The camera is fantastic. The processing power is fantastic... And today's apps really push it (this was twisted with Nik's Snapseed, which I highly reco). To think that this much horsepower is available in a phone, including the ability to take, process, and post, all in a mall parking lot... Limitless bounds, excepting only one's imagination :)
SEE IN LARGE please.
PARSA (my son) in a histoiric work.
I am going to show him and learn him that the history is humans best teacher.
I want to say him what our fathers were, and what we are now, they were messenger of peace and civilization to world and we …..
I just want him to know that the indemnity of some mistake is so heavy.
The Port-a-Trac is a light-weight, aluminum, modular system for transporting full pallets of brick into the kiln and under the Bricking Machine scaffold. To move a pallet of brick up-kiln in small kilns where forklift access is prohibited requires a cost in time and manual labor or a custom solution. The challenge of transporting brick up-kiln will depend mostly on the size of the kiln and the condition of the surface of the kiln. The smaller the kiln, the smaller the access under the bricking machine frames. The more limited the access the more difficult it is to get brick past the machine to the bedding crew. Furthermore, it is advantageous to transport the brick as a pallet rather than individually not only for obvious speed advantages, but to avoid potential damage to the individual brick.
1. With a Port-A-Trac, 2 men can easily push a 4,000 LB pallet of brick up the kiln and under a Bricking Machine
2. Increase speed of refractory installation
3. Decrease worker fatigue
4. Accommodates multiple transfer carts along the same track, each capable of holding 4,000 LBS
5. Optional power winch available
6. Brake system to hold carts anywhere on track
7. Build to any length - modular aluminum track comes in 3 meter and 1.5 meter sections
