The cleaning ritual behind the water truck is a common occurrence on the playa.

This picture might need some explanation ;-)

Even though I have great blinds in my little office, its windows directed south mean temperature can rise sky high sometimes. The blinds aren't able to stop the heat that radiates trough the windows. I have wondered all summer long how I could construct something to survive better, but this idea came up in my head the very last day of August.

 

A sheet hangs down from a plank to completely cover the main window. I know this solution is really, really improvisation (it looks very primitive, I know), but it should work just well on days like today when the temperature outside rises to over 25 degrees Celsius, and inside it normally would get even warmer.

"Charge all Bayonets!" is not necessarily a last resort command anymore.

Pictured left to right are the T.A.H. MK XII, MK XIV, and MK VIII "Bayonets"

 

Commonly deployed with small squads of the infantry, multiple variants of the T.A.H. "Bayonet" were seen throughout the years of open conflict. The Mark XII (left) featured upgraded Lancer cockpit cannons and two Farnsworth 52mm cannons on the port side. The MK XIV (center) is ceremonial variant; used for protecting important people, events, and places.

Ridiculously inexpensive to manufacture and equipped with interchangeable weapons systems, "Bayonets" were loved by the Devil Dogs they supported. After their introduction, infantry casualties dropped by over fifty percent. The Corps brass quickly voted for full integration and soon the ratio of Marines to "Bayonets" was five to one. A standard squad would consist of five to twelve Marines and one to two "Bayonets".

  

The battle ready variant "Bayonets" have multiple weapons mounted on their legs (only unlockable by a fellow Devil Dog).

A capable or injured Marine can also be strapped into the back and offered safety, as the Marines who operated MARK VIII's are trained never to retreat or surrender.

Quilt top using slice and insert method of piecing. Based on the Improvisational Piecing class of Craftsy with Jaquie Gering.

Today the We're Here group members are looking for some Crazy Eye Glasses none of those around here so I've had to improvise, the weather is too appalling to go shopping for them.

Blood, Sweat & Tears (also known as "BS&T") was an American music group, formed in 1967 in New York City. It fused rock, blues, pop music, horn arrangements and jazz improvisation into a hybrid that came to be known as "jazz-rock". Unlike "jazz fusion" or simply "fusion", which tended toward virtuostic displays of instrumental facility and some experimentation with electric instruments, Blood, Sweat & Tears' sound merged the varied stylings of rock, pop and R&B/soul music with big band coupled with "combo" (small ensemble) jazz.

 

Lyrics to "Spinning Whee;" by David Clayton Thomas

 

What goes up must come down

Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round

Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin

Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin

 

You got no money and you got no home

Spinnin' wheel all alone

Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn

Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn

 

Did you find the directing sign on the

Straight and narrow highway

Would you mind a reflecting sign

Just let it shine within your mind

And show you the colors that are real

 

Someone is waiting just for you

Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true

  

Day 103 (v 6.0) - a planned photo was foiled by the weather turning good. that rainy night shot continues to simmer on the back burner.

I threw in a large pot a few fresh produce that I found in the fridge. Simmered for a while and added a can of pinto beans toward the end. Sprinkled some chopped cilantro on top and voilà, dinner's ready ! It was delicious and tasted even better the very next day for lunch.

Ok this is a little scene to accompany my Technical as my entry for The Annual Military Building Competition.

Hope you like the scene and this little chessy dialogue :3

Inspirations are tagged and any feedback is greatly appreciated .

I'm sorry in advance, just when you thought you've seen enough photos of this locomotive. Here's my whole list of contributions to the 2024 season of "Pursuit of the Tea Kettle".

 

Here's the first shot, descending the grade at Castle Rock. About a dozen people walked directly in front of my pre-planned shot as the train came into view, so I had to improvise by hiding them behind some conveniently placed brush.

I've never had an idea this bad. Never mind. I just thought of a bunch.

"Ventabren is a pretty village, perched at the top of a hill and dominated by the ruins of the Château of Queen Jeanne.

It offers a splendid view of the Berre lagoon, Martigues, the Caronte gap and the Vitrolles chain."

 

Ventabren, Provence.
