piano hinge at floor/lid allow the whole thing to fold flat for access/refueling. on low heat, the tank that came with heater should run over 24 hours easy. I plan on making a external tank in the frame triangle, and moving fuel pump down there(pump looks to need gravity fed to prime if it ever runs out)this will leave room for both a larger battery where existing tank is, and hiding the inverter where current battery is...
3rd flat tire stop of the day. Thankfully we had over 30 patches since we used almost of them this day. I've never had so much trouble patching tubes. The glue wasn't sticking well. We had two different tubes as glue. I still don't know the problem was. A frustrating experience.

Inverno 2005 no Brasil - Julie and I visited Brazil from mid-July to mid-August. We went to John and Anna Karla's wedding in Vit?ria at the start of the trip. John's from California. His parents and my parents are quite good friends. All 4 of them came to the wedding as well. Anna Karla's from Esp?rito Santo. I met her and her family for the first time in Brazil. A couple days after the wedding in Vit?ria we went to Pancas, Anna Karla's hometown, for another party. Most people returned to Vit?ria, but Julie and I stayed in Pancas with the intention of bicycling from there to Rio de Janeiro.
When John's mother, Katy, left Pancas, she let Julie and me borrow her digital camera for the rest of the trip. It was our first foray into the world of digital photos. Before the end of the trip we had exhausted the two rechargeable batteries Katy had loaned us (sans recharger). So we have some film photos as well. The film and digital photos are mixed together in this slide show...
Stanton Walk on the Woodloes Park estate in Warwick - built and developed throughout the 1960's and 1970's. A large housing estate with a real mixture of tenures - social rented, privately rented, and owner-occupied.
Above is a block of flats (of which there are about 20) some of which are owned by Warwick District Council and other blocks owned by Jephson Housing Association.
VIDEO: The governor of the children's home takes the two new children to the flat they will live in. The children meet the lady that will look after them. The Sister that will look after them has ten other children that live in the flat. Both boys and girls of different ages. Sally and Christopher are now taken to meet the other children who are having tea. All the children soon tuck into the food on the table.
The Family at Flat 15 are:
Sister Ena Woodhurst, David and Robert Steadman, Beryl Lee, Richard (Ricky) Todd.
Wanstead Flats, the most Southerly part of Epping Forest.
Flickr, it seems the name is not Aldersbook, but Aldersbrook, and that name only applies to the housing estate, not this part of Epping Forest.
The name is taken from Alders Brook, a water course where Alder trees grew. Not from a Book about the trees.
Work underway on new low-rise blocks of flats on the site of the former Gracemount multi-storey towers. Taken from Gracemount Drive.
The development is part of the City of Edinburgh Council 21st Century Homes programme. Phase 1: Building 67 homes for social rent, 20 homes for midmarket rent and 12 homes for sale under a shared equity scheme. Phase 2: Building 70 flats and 46 houses for sale, including sale under a shared equity scheme. Work started on site in November 2010 and was completed in 2013.
The new streets are to be known as Linden Avenue and Philip Terrace. Linden as in Lime tree because of the avenues of limes originally on this site (ironically a good number of these have been removed during the redevelopment). Philip after the TB pioneer Dr Robert Philip who had a brucellosis-free dairy farm at Gracemount.

Heligan House, the former centrepiece of the Gardens of Heligan, now believed to be flats and not part of the Gardens.
The first large building at Heligan, near Mevagissey in Cornwall, was a manor house constructed in the 13th century, but the gardens date from the 18th century, first noted in 1766. For many years the gardens were developed extensively, with a Chinese Garden and an Italian Garden amongst others, but all came to an abrupt end upon the outbreak of war in August 1914. The shelterbelt trees were cut down for the war effort, the house became a convalescent home, almost all of the staff went off to war, and the gardens went untended and soon became overgrown.
The much quoted "it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good" really applies here as it was the devasting storm (the so-called hurricane) of October 1990 that revealed the first clue as to what had been here and set in train a process that is ongoing. Since then, the work of many dedicated people, paid and unpaid, has recreated much of what the gardens once were, in an ongoing project that is the largest garden restoration in Europe.
Fairbanks Flats
In the early 1900's - during and after WWI - these apartment buildings were built for African American laborers who were recruited (mostly from the south) to work in factories in the northern industrial towns like Beloit. (Labor was scarce due to demands of WWI.)

Much of the valley of Death Valley is covered in the salt flats. The salt flats result from the evaporation of a vast lake, Lake Manly, from the surface floor of the valley. The remains of this lake forms the huge internal reservoir that feeds the Furnace Creek oasis, among other things. You can buy this water bottled at gift shop and, oddly enough, it is super tasty ( as water goes).
Adelaide to Mannum Road
The 2015 Sampson Flat bushfires were a series of bushfires in Australia in the state of South Australia, that primarily effected the Adelaide Hills and the outer Adelaide metropolitan area. The fires began on 2 January 2015 during a day of extreme heat and lasted until 9 January 2015.
The fires began in the outer northern area of the city, in the suburb of Sampson Flat. It later travelled southeast towards the Kersbrook township and across the Mount Lofty Ranges toward the Adelaide Hills. As of 6 January 2015, at least 26 houses were destroyed with 37 families in temporary accommodation. This count had increased to 38 houses, 125 outbuildings and 134 injuries by the evening of 6 January. The town of Kersbrook was worst hit, with twelve houses destroyed. On 7 January, the number of houses destroyed throughout the affected area was revised down from 38 to 32 and again down to 27 a few days later. There were no fatalities as a result of the bushfires; and the total cost was estimated to be more than A$13 million.
2014 was Australia's third-warmest year since national temperature observations commenced in 1910. Following Australia's warmest year on record in 2013, both maximum and minimum temperatures remained well above average, with frequent periods of abnormally warm weather throughout the year. For the 6-month period from July to December 2014 southeast South Australia recorded the lowest 5 per cent record of rainfall deficiencies, extending a continued pattern of severe rainfall deficiencies over a 27โmonth period.
On 1 January 2015 a fire weather warning and total fine ban were issued across most of South Australia as the Bureau of Meteorology estimated the temperature in Adelaide would peak at 42 ยฐC (108 ยฐF), with temperatures throughout the north-west of the state and stretching down to the Eyre Peninsula estimated to range between 43โ46 ยฐC (109โ115 ยฐF) on that day. On 2 January the temperature in Adelaide peaked at 41.1 ยฐC (106.0 ยฐF), approximately 17 ยฐC (31 ยฐF) degrees above the average December temperature for Adelaide while the following day reached 38.2 ยฐC (100.8 ยฐF), which further aggravated conditions.
The Sampson Flat fire was declared to be a "major emergency" at 08:30 ACDT on 3 January 2015, giving the South Australia Police and emergency services additional authority to manage the event and control access in and out of the area. Over thirty roadblocks limited access to the fireground to anybody not involved in the emergency response. Residents started to be allowed back in from 6 January, with their identity and address being checked to limit access to only the roads that had been cleared as safe for travel. Road clearing was suspended on the afternoon of 7 January due to the wind and thunderstorms making the activity unsafe for the cleanup crews. The major emergency declaration was rescinded at 3pm on 7 January, despite it being able to remain in force for 14 days.
The weather assisted to contain the fire on Sunday and Monday 4โ5 January with mild winds and temperatures in the range of 30โ34 ยฐC (86โ93 ยฐF), but daily temperatures rose again on Tuesday and Wednesday 6โ7 January, with forecast maximum temperature in the range of 35โ39 ยฐC (95โ102 ยฐF) on both days.
Thunderstorms on the afternoon of 7 January produced a spate of new grass fires from lightning, but also brought cooler temperatures, increased humidity, and rain over some parts of the fireground, making it easier to control and extinguish the remaining areas. In the early morning hours of Thursday 8 January, the South Australian Country Fire Service confirmed on its website that the fire had been completely brought under control with crews remaining on the ground to extinguish the remaining hot spots. Extensive rainfall across South Eastern Australia on 9 and 10 January significantly reduced the fire risk.
