I always think it's the golfers that are driven
.Golf is a good walk spoiled.--Mark Twain (1835-1910)If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.--Bob Hope, Reader's Digest (October 1958)
The Okotoks Erratic - "Big Rock"
---------------------------------------------
So I had originally driven down to Okotoks this last Wed. to get the sunset shots but upon arriving on that day and getting all my photography equipment set up I realized I had forgotten a memory card as well as a back up memory card in my other bag!! Needless to say I was quite up set.. around 2.5 hours of wasted time. So I just sat and watched the sun set. The great thing about sunsets though is that they happen everyday without fail. Which is good! cause life would be much less exciting without them.

Back to the sons of the soil, who till the earth by sheer hard work, here is an automobile driven wheat sifter. The rear flatbed of the car holds an inverted trapezoidal device to separate the wheat from the chaff. And yes, that's moi camwhoring if front of it. (Ottawa, Canada, Dec. 2012)

From eBay:
In 2012, this Bobcat was driven from Wisconsin to San Francisco. I bought it after it was discovered that the #3 cylinder had lost 2/3 of its compression.
I opted not to drop in another 2.3 because it's rusty underneath. Clutch, power steering and manual brakes work well, and it starts every time.
Pluses:
- Starts every time
- Has power to top San Francisco's steepest hills, and it runs all around the city
- Factory alloy wheels with Mustang II centers
- Odo reads just under 80K miles. Maybe it has 180K, but it has fewer rattles than the Fairmont with 135K I had
- Reclining seats are from a later-model GM. They're used but fit the platform well, driving position is a nice bump up in height
- Body is relatively free of rust, headliner is intact, good trim
Minuses:
- Engine was reported to have low compression in #3 cylinder. Runs rough, backfires
- Underbody is rusted. No foot through the floor but not far from it
- Exhaust is rusted
- Radiator leaks
- Driver's side front fender and door skin have been 'facelifted'
- Orange paint looks good from 10 feet, but closer inspection reveals the drips of an amateur respray
- Tie rods and ball joints are shot, steering play. Fine around town but gets nautical as speeds climb
Lots of good parts here, would rather sell it whole.
Thanks for looking!
We also upgraded the steering to a 14:1 power steering box from Flaming River. I had manual steering before, so a pump was needed to power it. I got the whole front belt drive system from Jones Racing Products so I knew it'd all fit perfectly.
What wiki says about Alfie's favourite walking route:
"Turton and Entwistle Reservoir is a water reservoir in the town of Edgworth, Lancashire. The reservoir's existence is due to the Entwistle Dam. When constructed in 1832 the Entwistle Dam was the highest in Britain; it rises 108 feet from the base.[1] The reservoir contains almost 750 thousand imperial gallons (roughly 3,400,000 litres) and, with the Wayoh Reservoir just below, satisfies around 50% of Bolton's need for drinking water.[1]
Entwistle Dam was designed by Thomas Ashworth, a local land surveyor, overseen by Jesse Hartley, the Liverpool Docks engineer. Other works were by Joseph Jackson, an engineer and surveyor from Bolton. It was built for the Commissioners of the Turton and Entwistle Reservoir, a group of local mill owners who obtained an enabling Act of Parliament in 1832 to regulate the supply of water in Bradshaw Brook for water power for the finishing textiles.[2]
Records suggest it was built entirely of puddle clay with no distinct core. Earth dams usually have a waterproof cutoff under their earthworks designed to stop seepage under the dam but it is doubtful whether there was any such a cutoff at Entwistle. The reservoir has a rock-cut outlet tunnel driven through the valley side rather than a culvert or pipeline and a siphon draw-off pipe. The dam is 108 ft high and 110 metres long at the crest. The present overflow channel and valve tower were added by the Bolton Corporation Water Works who took over the reservoir in 1864."

The park features buildings that resemble existing structures but still have a clear function. Like this house, Gasthaus zur Altweibermühle, which also houses a restaurant with a terrace.
Erlebnispark Tripsdrill
Erlebnispark Tripsdrill is a wildlife and theme park near Cleebronn in Southern Germany. Covering 77 hectares in total, the park offers 29 attractions, including museums, animal petting and feeding, roller coasters, playgrounds, and a theatre. Opened in 1929, it is Germany's oldest amusement park and is still owned and managed by the same family.
Eugen Fischer built a windmill on the site in 1929 and opened a restaurant there. He called the mill "Old Women's Mill" and included a slide for playing on. After Eugen's death in the Second World War, his son Kurt carried on the restaurant, expanding the catering to a park. The windmill was destroyed by fire in 1946 following a lightning strike, and rebuilt by Kurt in 1950.
Over the following years attractions were added to the park. In 1957, a zoo opened with approximately 300 animals. A mechanical attraction arrived in 1960 in the form of pedal-driven locomotives. The zoo was transformed into a wildlife park and petting zoo in 1972, which was expanded in 1976 to include over 1,000 animals. The wine museum ‘Vinarium’ contains the largest collection of wood-spindle presses in Germany..
In 2013, the park opened a new launched coaster called Karacho.
For the 2020 season, the park added two new roller coasters by Vekoma. These coasters were Volldampf and Hals-über-Kopf.
Approximately 700,000 people visit Tripsdrill each year and the park employs about 150 people. The theme park area opens from late March to early November, but the wildlife park is open all year. The parking lot directly in front of the main entrance is free of charge.
Originality, attention to detail, and a preference for local building firms and materials is an important emphasis at Tripsdrill. The park was one of the first to install the now-ubiquitous "teacups" ride and its Bathtub Flume Ride is the tallest in Europe.
Its largest installation to date, Mammut, built in 2008, is an entirely wooden roller coaster, the first of its kind in Southern Germany, and themed as a sawmill. Nearly 860 metres (2,820 ft) long and costing approximately 6 million euros.

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has driven within robotic-arm's reach of the sandstone slab at the center of this view from the rover's Mast Camera (Mastcam). The rover team plans to have Curiosity examine a target patch on the rock, called "Windjana," with tools on the rover's arm and mast to aid a decision on whether to use Curiosity's drill at this site.
The rock is about 2 feet (about 60 centimeters) across, left-to-right in this image. The informal name for the target comes from Windjana Gorge in Western Australia. This Martian rock is in a waypoint location called "the Kimberley," where sandstone outcrops with differing resistance to wind erosion result in a stair-step pattern of layers. Windjana is within what the team calls the area's "middle unit" because it is intermediate between rocks that form buttes in the area and lower-lying rocks that show a pattern of striations. If this target meets criteria set by engineers and scientists, it could become the mission's third drilled rock and the first that is not mudstone.
This view combines several exposures taken by the Mastcam's left-eye camera during the 609th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars (April 23, 2014). The component images have been calibrated, linearly scaled and brightened, which results in colors that resemble those that would be seen under daytime lighting conditions on Earth.
January 20th 2015, Risso's Dolphins Slaughter — at Taiji Japan
Another absolutely devastating day in Taiji. Today the killers gathered all 12 of their boats and set out to destroy another family of dolphins just after sunrise. Cove Guardians spotted 2 hunting boats circling an area approximately 2.5 km off the coast just after 7 am. By 7:45 am six hunting boats had gathered into a drive formation trying to push the dolphins towards the cove using their full force. The hunters met some of the most determined and full of fight dolphins they had ever encountered with the drive continuing for nearly 4 hours. The number of times the dolphins escaped the hunters and left them driving in circles of black smoke and chaos were innumerable but this was not enough to save them from their bloody slaughter. Eventually all 5 beautiful Risso’s dolphins were driven into the killing cove where they were netted in and their fates sealed. One of the Risso's dolphins managed to escape the killers attempts to beach her in the killing cove and she swam furiously toward the netting that blocked her from the open ocean while her family were being tortured on the shore. Cove Guardians documented one of the dolphins tethered, dying slowly and painfully as it looked directly into their cameras between the tarps put in place by the killers to try and conceal the true nature of their brutal practices. Today was a horrifying display of the barbarism that takes place almost daily here in the cove of Taiji. A Beautiful family was destroyed but they did not die in silence. The world was watching and we will stop this nightmare !!!

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is native to south central China. Pandas are now only found in the remote mountains of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces having been driven out of the lowland areas they once inhabited by deforestation, farming and urbanisation. They are an endangered species with only about 1,500-3,000 individuals left in the wild, although population estimates are difficult due to the densely forested mountain habitats where they live. There are also around 300 pandas in captivity, 90% of them in China.
Giant pandas are most closely related to bears and are not related to the red panda which is closer to the weasel family. Their diet is over 99% bamboo although wild pandas will occasionally eat grass, tubers and roots, and occassionally even birds, rodents or carrion. They have a "false thumb", actually a modified wrist bone, that allows them to grasp bamboo while eating. Giant pandas are generally solitary with each adult having a defined territory. They communicate through vocalization and scent marking such as clawing trees or spraying urine.
