FastCat M9. Embarkation...
During high tide and swell is too much, getting in to the ship is very stiff and difficult for small cars with low ground clearance same also in San Isidro.
Taken during her 3pm departure from Matnog, Sorsogon.
With two loaders working to load six cars at a time, filling the train goes pretty quickly. When the 6 car cut is loaded the cars are staged on the loading dock tracks of the mill, including inside. The car mover then spots another set of cars on the loading track.
I've got an eight by six by eight foot tall concrete box where the shaft will go and for now I shovel the sand in it then from there shovel it out the access port.
This truck is slowly meeting it's fate.
Owned by: Advanced Disposal
Chassis: International 7400
Body manufacturer: McNeilus
Type of truck: Rear load garbage truck
Additional notes: Trash Taxi's assets in Florida were sold to Advanced Disposal in March 2010, and this is former Trash Taxi 412. Looks like this one is the next to die. The next time I see this one, it will probably be gray... like 624 and 623... the renumbered Trash Taxi Sterlings. See a video of this truck in action when it was still owned by Trash Taxi: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k8ZHr5C__8

I am using LOAD to help me jump start my scrapping of our recent trip to Playa de Carmen.
Journaling reads: And we are off! Our trip to Mexico is finally here! We have been saving all year for this trip.It is Evan's first flight ever.We left at 7:30 Winnipeg time and arrived in Cancun at 3:30.I was really nervous about the flight because of my ears but it wasn't too bad...We couldn't believe how good the food was but then again we hadn't eaten since 4:00 in the morning.It was interesting to see how long the frosted window took to thaw.The turquoise water was gorgeous as we landed in Cancun.We are really ready for warmer weather!
Arrival of a transformer for the new substation at Dounreay, part of Scottish and Southern Energy's upgrade of the Dounreay to Beauly power distribution lines in preparation for the wave and tidal energy projects in the Pentland Firth and Orkney Islands.
Scrabster Harbour, Caithness, Scotland.
Bow lifted to rear roller, winch strap attached/locked and ready to winch. All this is done with one person with very little lifting involved. Winch allows safe loading of boat with no danger of boat falling off. For offloading, it also stops at this preset location as so you can walk to the rear of the boat with no danger of it falling. It will allow you to disconnect the strap, then manually lift the bow off the roller and settle to the ground.
Two employees of the 19 odd mile long Thunder Rail use a front end loader to load a single hopper with ballast at Arborfield Saskatchewan. Ronny (in the foreground) has just finished telling me of a torrential downpour the town received just a few hours before my arrival. As conversation turned to the weather, we both agreed the province has had quite enough rain for the season. I spent an hour or so photographing the two men at work in the yard as well as out on the line before departing to continue my journey northward. Five days after this photo was taken, the 400 residents of Arborfield were forced to flee to higher ground as yet another rain storm arrived to flood the streets, homes, and businesses. I've always found the people of rural Saskatchewan to be welcoming and friendly to outsiders, these two railwaymen were no exception. Although I did not return to the community after the flood, I'm sure these men, like many others in the area, were hard at work getting things back as they should be....

In the Dominican Republic, sugar cane is cut by hand with a machete. It is the lowest paid workers who actually cut the cane; they are usually new immigrants from Haiti. The work is grueling, somewhat dangerous, and very uncomfortable. The action of cutting sugar cane is called "picando la caña," which is from picar, and someone who cuts the cane is a picador, plural picadores. Picadores are paid by the metric ton.
The cut cane is gathered and put into a cart. The person who is in charge of this process is a cart-warden, or carretero. Un carretero sabe carretear.
Usually a team of oxen (bueys) pulls the cart to the weighing area, or grua , where the cart's contents will be weighed. The picadores and the carretero will receive tickets representing the amount they cut or delivered, respectively.
The workers live in a batey. A batey is a company town consisting of barracks and a few houses.
Every year for seventy years or more, male seasonal immigrants from Haiti arrive. These people are called congoses (plural-singular un congo), which is a derisive term roughly equivalent to "hick," "idiot," "chump," or "sucker" in our language. Congoses are lodged five to a room with no bedding and expected to work long, hard hours. The conditions are deplorable, even when they can get paid many times more than what they had previously received in Haiti.
Over time, some of these migrants have stayed through the six months that follow the zafra, called tiempo muerto, and have started families. Haitian women have migrated, as well. Bateyes are unique in culture and language in their mix of that which is Haitian and that which is Dominican.
Bateyes are often still regarded as places where only Haitians (non-citizens) live. Since the Haitians who originally filled the bateyes were not legal immigrants, their children have often been denied citizenship papers. Without citizenship papers, these Dominican born children of Haitian immigrants cannot go to school nor can they receive the benefits of other public services.
However, the Dominican sugar industry is no longer competitive, and when combined with the historical lack of educational and health services to these communities, the low wages have tended to make bateyes some of the poorest communities in the country.
The current trend in the Dominican Republic is for the ingenios to stop producing and for the bateyes to very slowly transform themselves into new sorts of communities. Los Alcarrizos in the Santo Domingo province is a good example of something that used to be a batey but now is a municipality which survives through jobs in the area, but making the transition is hard when people are so poor and only know about the sweet stuff.
Right now the workers get about 10 - 12 Dollars a day, working from sun-up to sun-down. It's hard on the animals too.
40155 passes Eryholme on the ECML sth of Darlington on 21/07/84 with a Blackpool - Newcastle train. I expect an equivelant service on todays network would be a 3 car unit!!
This is a modified HO scale heavy duty Volvo wheel loader fork lift made by Cararama. It was originally a front end loader with a bucket. The bucket was removed and the fork mechanism from a container lift was added. The unit is detailed and weathered

For once an original. Going back to the first LOAD and documenting the layouts I did.
Journalling reads: I came across a challenge on Big Picture Scrapbooking to do a Lay Out A Day for the month of January, 2008. It was being hosted by Lain Ehman and there were prizes for keeping up as well as completion, a message board for discussion and best of all – great inspiration from others. What’s there to lose? So I signed up for a measly few dollars and the fun began. I was able to complete a full 31 layouts in the 31 days (no grand prize=() but for me it was totally worth it – just the drive to get some work done that I’ve been meaning to for what seems like forever. Thanks for the great experience! I can’t wait for the next one!
