Before I left Colorado my Dad and I were able to hit the snowshoes. We started out on one of the Engineer Mountain trails, but it didn't take long for the trail to become completely hidden leaving us to just forge our own. Hard work! We didn't actually go very far, but had some good fun.

Launched in 1944, the Becuna (SS-319) completed five wartime patrols in the Pacific Ocean. Becuna is similar to many submarines built in Philadelphia for the U.S. Navy.
Becuna is a BALAO-class submarine built in New London, CT. During World War II, "Becky" prowled the Pacific Ocean for Japanese ships, and is credited with sinking 3.5 Japanese merchant ships. Click here to read more about Becuna's wartime patrols. Converted in 1951 to a Guppy 1A type with sophisticated radar and torpedo equipment including nuclear warheads, she is the only Guppy 1-A submarine on display.
Becuna's Cold War missions often found her in the Atlantic, trailing Soviet submarines with eavesdropping equipment aboard. She served in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic during the Korean and Vietnam Wars and ended her long and distinguished career as a training submarine in Connecticut.
Becuna was decommissioned in 1969 and has been part of Independence Seaport Museum's Historic Ship Zone since 1996. Becuna is a National Historic Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2001, Becuna received the American Welding Society's Historical Welded Structure Award.
It's hard to shoot anything decent on a submarine. I hit my head, and had an amazing headache the rest of the day.

The benefits of being an engineer working on Sewage Plants means I get a chance to go places others are not allowed to go. While working in Crediton Sewage treatment works I was aware of a pair of Reed Warblers bring food back to their young in the settlement lagoon at the back of the works. I tried for about 20mins to get a clear shot, but every photo had a reed across the birds. I kept my distance not to disturb them and was rewarded with these two shot.

The Los Angeles District marked anniversary 237 of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during their annual event June 29.
Under the commander’s motto “Taking Care of People,” the District converged on the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area in Irwindale, Calif.
Engineer Day was the perfect venue to recognize teammates for their decades of service and accomplishments. This year, 78 District employees met the criteria of 10-to 45-years of service. In all, 28 employees were available to receive their award at the event.
This is what happens with a building electrical and sprinkler engineer argue. I guess the electrical engineer won.
Like Deja Vu, the last time we chased a train on this end of the CV, we followed CSX 1853 with Eastman empties, catching it in this very spot. That day earlier in the year sported Mr. Russell Smith as the engineer and Mr. Zac Hendrickson as the conductor. Funnily enough, the next Heritage Unit to run, CSX 1902, sports the same pair in the cab, and caught in the same spot. Here, Mr. Smith looks down upon s from the cab.

The 33rd Division served in World War I and beyond. The division was trained at Camp Logan in Houston, Texas as part of the National state guard in Illinois. The first unit went to France in 1918. The first unit to go into France was the 108th Engineers, under Colonel Henry A. Allen.
On 20 and 21 June the division went to the Amiens sector, where there was expected to be a major German attack. The division was trained by British Army and Commonwealth soldiers – in particular the Australian Corps – and was part of some of their operations.
The first major battle in which elements of the 33rd Division took part was the Battle of Hamel on 4 July. Individual platoons from four companies from the 131st Infantry and 132nd Infantry were distributed among Australian battalions, to gain combat experience. This, however, occurred without official approval as there was controversy regarding the battlefield command of US troops by junior officers from other countries. Thus, while Hamel was a relatively minor battle by the standards of World War I, it was historically significant as the first occasion on which US Army personnel had fought alongside British Empire forces, and demonstrated that the previously inexperienced American troops could play an effective role in the war. The battle was also historically significant for the use of innovative assault tactics, devised by the Australian General John Monash, were demonstrated.
The 33rd Division was in reserve behind the British Fourth Army at the opening of the August offensive for emergencies only. With the British III Corps attack stalling at Chipilly Ridge during the Battle of Amiens, the 131st Regiment of the 33rd Division was sent to assist on 9 August, which it did with distinction. The following day the Regiment was attached to the 4th Australian Division and remained there until 12 August. From 12 August until 20 August it was combined with the 13th Australian Brigade in what was called the Liaison Force commanded by Brigadier General E. A. Wisdom. This was designed to hold the front from the Somme to the Bray-Sur-Somme to Corbie road to relieve the 4th Australian Division from the operation. After this it returned to the 33rd US Division.
On 23 August, the division was moved to the Toul sector. The 33rd Division fought in the Meuse-Argonne Campaign from 26 September 1918 to the end of the battle on 10 November 1918. The last mission in which the 33rd Division took part was on 27 December 1918.
In total, from the 33rd arriving in France to the German armistice on 11 November 1918, the division captured 13 units of heavy artillery and 87 pieces of light artillery. Also, they captured 460 machine guns and 430 light guns. In total, the entire division gained 40,300 meters of land in World War I. The 33rd Division was the only unit in the war to have machine gun barrage enemy nests while infantry turned the position. In total, the 33rd Division received 215 American decorations, 56 British decorations, and various others.
As result of its World War I service, the division remains the only US Army division that has fought as part of British Army and French Army corps.

The Small Box Respirator (SBR) was a British designed gas mask of the First World War and a successor to the Large Box Respirator. In late 1916, the respirator was introduced by the British with the aim to provide reliable protection against chlorine and phosgene gases. The respirator offered a first line of defense against these. The use of mustard gas, was begun by the Germans; a vesicant ("blister agent") that burnt the skin of individuals that were exposed to it. Death rates were high with exposure to both the mixed phosgene, chlorine and mustard gas, however with soldiers having readily available access to the small box respirator, death rates had lowered significantly. Light and reasonably fitting, the respirator was a key piece of equipment to protect soldiers on the battlefield.
Complications of the small box respirator-
The Small Box Respirators was criticised by troops. The respirator restricted performance as it presented a very unnatural way of breathing during heavy activity of troops on the battlefield. The respirator came in six different sizes and had to be individually fitted to each man, and to be effective the fit had to checked constantly. The eye pieces were very prone to fogging and misting obstructing vision and the nose clip caused extreme discomfort. The flexible hose was vulnerable to damage and then let gas in. Adjusting the gas mask was problematic, death could be the result if it was not worn correctly; soldiers had compulsory practice with the mask before using it in combat. The respirator caused intensive wheezing and extreme heat and exhaustion could result in suffocation-like symptoms.
This American version was called the "SBR (corrected)", It differs from the British SBR mainly by the addition of the guard for the flutter valve, and the yellow painted canister. It could be slung over the shoulder in the carry position or around the neck at the ready position as shown here.
