Having a fitting with Earl of Bedlam for a new suit to wear when cycling. More on this later!

Uncle Nick is making Snoop a camouflage sweatsuit. As usual, the easy-going little guy just let things happen. All the pins, measurements, and trying it on didn't phase him. Can't wait to see the finished product.. Thanks to "Hanafan" for the idea.
This was taken during a still life work shop at The Traverse Area Camera Club. This shot was taken with a light box and 2 Polarizing filters to get the rainbow effect. One Filter is a Gelfilter that was about 18" X 20" and laid over the light box. There was some touch up in PS to make the light in the background white.
It's not every day that someone turns 105, but then again George Leighton isn't just someone. Often called "the Judge," a name that fittingly has stuck due to his long standing career as a judge, Leighton has reached another milestone in his already illustrious life. Leighton celebrated 105 years-of-life today, surrounded by friends and family at VA Boston Healthcare System's Brockton Campus.
"Each year is a milestone and each milestone a blessing," said Leighton's cousin Ervin "Tootsie" Russell. "His cognizance is remarkable and I know because he keeps asking me for that ten dollars I borrowed from him 30 years ago!"
Along with serving as a judge from 1964 to 1987, Leighton served during World War II. While in the Army Leighton served in the Pacific Theaters for almost three years as a logistics officer. In July of 1945 he was awarded the Asiatic Pacific Service Medal, Bronze Star, for assisting in the transfer of 7,500 soldiers in the East Indies and he was appointed commander of a prisoner of war camp. Leighton then returned to the United States and was discharged in October 1945 with the rank of captain.

Young delegates from across the island of Ireland deliberate on issues that mean most to young people.
Seanad na nÓg will convene on 10th November 2022 with sixty delegates all over the island of Ireland, as part of the Seanad 100 commemorations. Seanad na nÓg will be co-chaired by Leas-Chathaoirleach, Senator Joe O’Reilly and delegate Etse Oshiogwemoh. Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Roderic O’Gorman will address delegates at opening of the session. The delegates are drawn from members of Comhairle na nÓg, Gaisce and the Joint Award Initiative.
Welcoming this significant event Leas-Chathaoirleach, Senator Joe O’Reilly said “The Seanad has championed minority voices since its foundation 100 years ago. It is fitting, that in its centenary year, the Seanad is empowering the voice of young people. The Seanad na nÓg delegates are aged between 14 and 18 years old. They have grown up in a pandemic, in lockdown, giving them experiences and perspectives, which are unique to their age group. Today, we will absorb their wisdom, reflect on their insights and act on their recommendations.”
Speaking on behalf of the delegates, Co-Chair of Seanad na nÓg, Etse Oshiogwemoh said “We have rolled up our sleeves and worked hard to make sure that Seanad na nÓg is more than symbolic. It must deliver results. We have deliberated, debated and decided on five themes that mean a lot to us. It is these themes that we will discuss today. We also wish to thank the Cathaoirleach of the Seanad, Senator Mark Daly for attending one of our preparation sessions.”
Minister Roderic O’Gorman thanked Seanad na nÓg for the invitation to attend and speak. “Today the delegates at Seanad na nÓg will speak up and speak out for all young people, especially for those who find it difficult to speak up for themselves. It is our duty to listen and to act. I’m delighted that my Department can support them in doing this not just today, but all year round through their local Comhairle na nÓg, the Gaisce programme and the Joint Award Initiative as well as other youth participation initiatives. It’s so important that we provide young people with the support and outlet to engage with decision makers and have their voices heard.
It is an honour to be in attendance today and I commend the delegates for the work, thought and time they have put into their deliberations”.
The five themes chosen for discussion by the delegates are:
Cost of student living: the barriers this creates for access to higher and further education and how this limits where, what and whether young people can study.
Education for life: the role of the education system in preparing young people for life after school, the importance of career guidance and the support needed by young people for 21st century life and work.
Access to Healthcare: the unaffordability and inaccessibility of healthcare and the impact this has on young people.
Social Life and Amenities: the consequences of the lack of safe social spaces and access to facilities.
Financial Inequality: How the different forms impact independence. The experiences of young people in care once they turn 18 and the lack of support to transition to independent living.
Following the day-long event, delegates will make a recommendation to the Seanad on a specific theme for debate by Senators along with the relevant Government Minister.
Leas Chathaoirleach, Senator Joe O’Reilly thanked Comhairle na nÓg, Gaisce and the Joint Award Initiative for their substantial input and support in making Seanad na nÓg a reality.

Comhairle na nÓg
Comhairle na nÓg are child and youth councils in the 31 local authority areas of the country, which give children and young people a voice in the development of local services and policies. They are the recognised national structure for participation by children and young people in local decision-making, supported by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY).
Comhairle na nÓg enables young people’s voices to be heard in two ways: working on topics of importance to young people; and acting as a consultative forum for adult decision-makers in the locality.
Comhairle na nÓg are supported by the DCEDIY Comhairle na nÓg Development Fund. Local Authorities also provide funding and resources for Comhairle na nÓg, as well as other organisations at local level. DCEDIY also funds regional Participation Officers, who provide advice, resources and training to all 31 Comhairle na nÓg co-ordinators as well as other supports through the National Participation Office.

Track laying at the Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway to re-instate the section of line between Stonehenge Works and Mundays Hill. When the line was in commercial use part of the section was double track and the opportunity has been taken to extend that distance. The regular, volunteer track gang are being assisted by a team from Transport For London. These people have been recruited and trained to maintain the Elizabeth Line (formerly Crossrail) but as yet trains are not running.
Now you can do a little test fitting. If for some reason you need to trim the part of the wire trough that goes under the battery pack, do so now. Once you are sure it is at the right length, glue it in place, then the battery packs after that. Glue only down the center of the two packs and the four brackets. (pic to be modified to show this)
I went on a last minute trip to Tijuana yesterday; July 9th so here's a few pictures of retail around the city!

head lugs getting dry fit with their pins. The brass blobs are surgery on the head lugs. The ht bands were pretty loose so I cut them, closed them up and brass brazed them shut for a better fit.
I'm not a religious person by any stretch, but this one just seems to go along with the sentiment in my house today.
