I had 2 of the wrecked carriages from the 2003 lair extra so I stuck them together and painted them up. I think it looks ok, but I'm not 100% happy with it. I have clearly made a miscalculation, as the carriage fits through the arch on the right but not the left, which is of course why I've put it on the right side of the tunnel!

The trailer has mechanical legs, activated by rotating the spare tires.
This is the first MOC I made based on a real vehicle.

This was my second (or third) truck trial vehicle.
It was built for Trial 0937, a truck trial competition by Comunidade 0937: www.comunidade0937.com
Unlike previous versions, this one had Power Functions for steering and propulsion. It used a form of limited-slip differentials and only the rear wheels needed suspension. Only the second revision has shock absorbers to increase stability.

Photo: Thursday evening I went back to the forest near my house. I just love the forest energy around me when I walking down a path, it is so still and quiet. Looking forward to exploring again soon.
My May blood test results remained mostly the same as April. My M protein (specific measure of cancer levels) remained the same at 20. It is difficult to get an accurate M protein value with my particular type of multiple myeloma, so we are also looking at another more general measure, called an igG, to get a more complete picture of my progress. The igG showed a slight increase (22.7 -> 25.8). However, as my cancer levels have not spiked again, there will be no change in treatment.
I’m focusing positive energy on good results for June. Feeling content.
M protein (g/L) (0 = no cancer detected)
May = 20
Apr = 20
Mar = 13
Feb = value missing (believe similar to January)
Jan 2018 = 13 (began Ninlaro chemo - Jan 8th)
Dec = between 10 and 11
Nov = 8
Late Oct = 9
Early Oct = between 5 and 6
Sept = under 7.7
Aug 2017 = value missing
Feb 2015 (began Pomalyst chemo + dexamethasone) = 36.1
igG protein (6.7 - 15.2 normal levels)
May = 25.8
Apr = 22.7
Mar = 22.0
Feb = 23.1
Jan = 20.6
To recap: On Sunday, May 20th, I completed Cycle 43 Week 3. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the immune system. It is incurable, but treatable. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex). On July 16th, my dexamethasone treatment ended, due to eye damage, as reported by my Glaucoma Specialist, from long-term use. On January 9th I began Ninlaro chemo as my cancer levels have been steadily rising.

The Ajuda National Palace, a neoclassical building from the first half of the 19th century, was built upon plans drawn by the architects Francisco José Fabri (1761-1817) and José da Costa e Silva (1741-1819). It became a royal residence on king Luís I (1861-1889) accession to the throne and it remained as such until the end of the Monarchy, in 1910.
From 1862, when the king married Maria Pia Princess of Savoy, onto the end of his reign, the ever-unfinished palace was brought into life. Its decorative interiors suffered great changes from the beginning. Joaquim Possidónio da Silva (1806-1896), the royal architect, was in charge of the works. He renewed the room’s distribution and decoration according to the 19th century modern standards, where comfort and hygiene were vital. New rooms were created: the winter garden, the Saxe and the Chinese rooms, a dining room for the family daily meals and bathrooms with all the recent amenities, such as cold and hot running water. For fifty years the palace was the stage to a whole lot of events: princes were born and christened – Carlos (1863-1908) and Afonso (1865-1920) –, the State Counsel gathered here, balls, banquets and court ceremonies took place.
In 1910, when the Republic was instated, the consequent exile of the royal family brought a closure period upon the palace. It opened to the public as a Museum since 1968. It still holds its decorative artworks in place in a lively and truthful to its origins display. On the ground floor, from the Music Room onwards, the private apartments can be found, while State Rooms occupy the upper floor. As a museum, it gathers important collections of decorative arts from the 18th and 19th centuries: gold and silver works, textiles, furniture and ceramics as well as paintings, sculptures and photographs. The most important State ceremonies held by the President of the Republic still take place here.
Doesn't look like much, except maybe a boxy trilobite or something.

This is how the murals in the altar now look, with the addition of St. Nicholas on the left, and St. John the Baptist on the right. Note also that the church itself has since received a fresh paint job.

It's been a while since I've taken a picture. I needed a break, but today I was really feeling the need to get back to it.
I'm working on my Halloween costume right now. I have most of the supplies, and this is one of the components (a Radio Shack 7-color LED) to really make it cool. I hooked it all up to make sure it's working, and here you have it.
Once the costume is done, there will be pictures a-plenty, but I'm keeping it under wraps until then.
Fifteen Iraqi police officers successfully complete IED Defeat course
Baghdad, 16 February 2017 - The United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), the Government of Japan and the Ministry of Interior in Iraq held a certification ceremony for fifteen Iraqi police officers who have successfully completed the Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) Defeat Course (basic). This project is funded by a generous contribution from the Government of Japan and directly supports the development of national capacity to respond to explosive threats in recently retaken areas.
The four-week training course plus follow-up mentoring was held at Salman Pak Police EOD training centre. The specifically designed training course includes numerous practical scenario exercises with the aim of building the confidence of the students to mitigate the threat of explosive hazards including IEDs. Local police officers were selected from Al Anbar, Diyala, Ninawa and Salah Ad Din governorates.
Maj. Gen. Abdulkarim Hatim, Head of Training Department, Ministry of Interior, stated that “training courses in Iraq are contributing to the return of displaced families to their homes paving the way for necessary reconstruction and development projects.”
H.E. Mr. Fumio Iwai, Ambassador of Japan to the Republic of Iraq, said in his statement that “it must be a daunting task for us all to consolidate peace and stability in the liberated areas after the liberation of Mosul including the expected liberation of Western side in the coming period by the brave Iraqi Security Forces.” He added that “however, we hope that the liberation of Mosul gives us, especially for Iraqi people, a golden opportunity to strive as one not only for its reconstruction but also for national reconciliation.”
Mr. Pierre Lemelin, Senior Programme Manager, UNMAS Iraq, highlighted that “UNMAS has trained 45 participants since 2016 to enhance a national capacity to respond to and mitigate explosive hazard threats including IEDs in retaken areas.”

It was fun piecing this bike together all summer. A little here, a little there. The new wheels arrived last week and they complete the build (Velocity A23 rims, White Industries T11 hubs, both in polished silver). Weighs 20 lbs on the nose. I've put 400 miles on it since early June (including a century in August) and I can now say that while I still prefer dirt, having a proper road bike ain't bad.
