Trash vehicles come out at night here and they play music, much like ice cream trucks play music in the U.S. I think the point of the music is to let people know to bring their trash out and put it in the truck.
Weighed in bundles with a 25kg spring balance. I thought I would give the trailer a good load test and move this wood 2½ miles. It’s just about the limit for the trailer and the most I can pull up some of the hills around here. I needed the very lowest gear the towing bike has of a crazy low 11.5 gear inches. The tires had to be pumped up to 40psi and they still looked like they needed more. Coming down the hill warmed up the rim brakes on the bike and trailer and the trailers disc brake got quite hot.
This is one of 4 layouts I did as part of the LOAD sketch challenge. I got completely carried away because it was such a simple design. It was the perfect spot and size for all those "2 photo" events that I wanted to scrap.
On 11th October 2007, the final bogie hopper wagons are being loaded at the Immelborn gravel loading terminal as Class '52.80' 'Rekolok' 2-10-0 52 8079-7 prepares to move forward onto the long loaded rake on the left. 'Einheitslok' 2-10-0 44 1486-8 would then move onto the front of the 'Rekolok' and the pair would then take the train on to Eisenach yard.

CEA were employed for the cleaning and loading of a very valuable speedboat.
The boats hull was cleaned with pressure washers, while the internal sections were cleaned by hand. After drying out the boat was vacuumed and polished and all the seats were wrapped in protective sheeting. A specially designed wooden cradle had been manufactured by CEA to hold the boat securely when in the container.
All lifting lugs were sealed and the windshield removed. The boat was lashed to its cradle and foam protectors attached at the point of contact with the boat. After all lashing was in place and the boat secure the team then carefully moved the cradle and boat into a 40ft HC.
Block and braces were installed to secure the cradle in the container and all loose items were lashed securely in place ready for transportation and shipping.
100% scraplifted from fellow Loadster GabMc's Cousins lo from Oct. 15. No original thought on my part at all except picking out papers that I liked. :)

when i make a mistake on a page i try to just move on... most people will never notice the issues if you dont point them out...*i guess here i am supposed to....paper cutter malfunction( didnt cut my mat completely and i just left the funky edges)
Since the prompt for today was "Lunch", and I had a busy day, I decided to go for an easy page in my travel journal. This is the first of 3 cruises I'm documenting in this journal, and this book is the first time I've done a travel journal like this. I must say, it's a lot of fun, and a lot less stressful than some of my more planned out scrapbook pages.
Day Fourteen
Use a different person/point of view for journaling. Well...I sort of did that.
Journaling reads:
"most people don't understand my situation. they want to judge it & criticize it. why is it so HARD to understand? matt & i bought a house while dating. we figured out we were better off as roommates than a couple. we live together - in peace. jon & i are dating. okay, so maybe it is a little complicated - but for now it works. i've got two awesome dudes...life is good. 10-11"
*Additional info...I dated Matt for 6 years, so buying a house wasn't a spur of the moment decision. We are great friends and continue to get along...perhaps better now than we did while we were dating. Lots of people don't understand how we can live in peace, especially since I'm dating somebody new. It makes us laugh...it's not that complicated.*

This rather grainy photo shows the method - known as "hoist loading" - of loading vehicles on to the first three car ferries to operate on the west coast of Scotland (outside the Firth of Clyde), the MVs Hebrides, Columba and Clansman of 1964 operated by David MacBrayne Ltd (latterly Caledonian MacBrayne after merger in 1973 with the Caledonian Steam Packet Company Ltd which ran the ferries on the Clyde.)
Instead of driving down a ramp adjustable according to the state of the tide (a "linkspan") directly on to the ship's cardeck at the bow or (more usually with 60s ferries) the stern, hoist loading involved the ship being equipped with a transverse platform which was raised from the car deck by pulleys or hydraulic rams to the level of the pier. A ramp was lowered and 4 or 5 cars could drive on. Turntables set in to the platform enabled some of the cars to be swung round through 90 degrees to ease them being driven off onto the car deck once the platform had been lowered back down.
It was pretty laborious - and almost useless for HGVs - but was necessitated because, whilst the Government was prepared in the early 1960s to invest in ships designed to carry vehicles, it was not at that time yet prepared to invest in linkspans.
Linkspans began to be provided in the early 70s but the process was gradual and I think I'm right in saying that the last service to be converted to "end-loading" ro-ro operations was Mallaig-Armadale in 1994/95.
The only photograph ever taken by me of hoist loading is here at Castlebay although note the end is nigh with the construction of the linkspan ongoing in the background. The ship pictured there has a hoist as well as a ramp at the stern allowing it to operate from linkspans as well. Some Calmac ferries still have hoist systems (as well as the now normal ramps at bow and stern) which would only be deployed in emergency if the linkspan at an island broke down.
I don't know which of the three original ferries it is in the picture or where it is (Craignure on Mull, possibly) but note the MacBrayne's bus on the pier.
This is a scan from an old BBC publication which I think was meant to accompany educational radio broadcast.

Loading were down on Saturday but still great to have a fair number on the bus and getting a few hours on the clock to expose any adjustments and tinkering required.
Thanks to all of you who offered support and tips on my foray into digital scrapbooking. This layout has been on my to-do list for months. I bought the Ali Edwards template ages ago but never had the nerve to do the layout. The paper is from Jessica Sprague.
This took way longer than I planned, but I am so glad I decided to use the tips I learned yesterday - it will help me to learn to do this faster I am sure.
