This Flatcar is just what I needed.
A 4x4 laid atop the protruding Bunks on the opposite side pulls tight against the steelframe and provides an anchorpoint to self load the log. One Staunchion keeps the pull from sliding the 4x4 timber along.
Ideal for when a Tree isn't handy opposite, the Blocks allow the rope to be redirected to get the proper direction of pull required.

The yearly trip to Jubille Farms was not super different the year from years past. No trebuchet and no hay ride, but a longer walk to the field and still plenty of pumpkins to choose from and hot apple cider to warm up at the end.

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.*

Well Dodge says it's a truck so I thought I would see. The Dodge Journey handled this load quite well.
R614 loads its second cut of cars at Lynch 3 with a pair of ES40DC's. On occasion, when the power seems to be a bit "under the weather," the crews will split their typical 110 car train and load at Lynch 3 in two cuts. Today, the train is 108 cars and for US Steel, seen here passing the derail.
Not to be confused with the song, "Closing Time". Loading up a variety of passengers while still trying to maintain the schedule in the Busy morning rush hour on the Racetrack.

I'm not very happy with this shot. It is a loading dock on an abandoned Building in Livingston Manor, NY.
Ahhhhh...Mythbusters! Our family's favorite show. (Though technically the baby doesn't care.) I downloaded some images from the internet for the photos and manipulated an image of the show's logo in Photoshop to make the title.
I used a sketch from the Ella Publishing sketch challenge for this one.
The Disaster
On the evening of 25th October 1960 a number of barges were making their way up river from Avonmouth to Sharpness. Amongst them were two vessels operated by John Harker Ltd. of Knottingley, Yorkshire. The WASTDALE H had been built locally at Sharpness Shipyard in 1951. She was a tanker barge and was carrying a load of petroleum. The ARKENDALE H had been built by Richards Ironworks of Lowestoft in 1937 as a dumb (unpowered) tanker barge. She had been converted to a motor barge in 1948 and was later lengthened. Her cargo was Britoleum black oil, a heavy oil which required her to be fitted with heating coils in her tanks to keep the oil liquid.
The barges hit thick fog near Berkeley Power Station and the strong incoming tide was running at 5 knots making it difficult to manoeuvre the vessels for their approach to the lock at Sharpness. Both barges were swept past the lock entrance and the found themselves by the old, disused dock entrance further upstream. The two barges came abreast and the skippers found it impossible to separate them. Whilst they struggled to break them apart they drifted yet further upstream until the port bow of the WASTDALE H hit pier 17 of the bridge. The bridge shook with the impact and the WASTDALE H turned onto her port side and began to sink. As pier 17 gave way under the pressure the two spans it supported fell onto the barges causing the WASTDALE H’s petroleum cargo to ignite and explode. The ARKENDALE H’s cargo of black oil was also ruptured and with the help of the petroleum it too ignited leaving the entire expanse of the river blazing. The two barges drifted on up river before grounding on the Ridge Sandbank. Skipper George Thompson of the ARKENDALE H managed to make it ashore. His engineer Jack Cooper also survived but not before he received a severe back injury sustained by an encounter with the still-rotating propeller of the sinking ARKENDALE H. Skipper James Dew of the WASTDALE H was the only other survivor. The other five crew members were missing.
The next morning the smouldering wrecks of the two barges were left high and dry on the sand with the WASTDALE H standing on her port side. On the following tide she settled back to en even keel. Attempts were made to pump out and search both vessels for the missing crew members but their inaccessible position made the job difficult. All five bodies were later found at various locations along the Severn. On 30th October 1960 the Army blew holes in the bow and stern of both barges to prevent them refloating. They remain there to this day, submerged at high tide and exposed at low tide.
On the night of the disaster the Fairfields workers engaged on the strengthening of the bridge decided to take an early meal break in order to listen to the Henry Cooper v Karl Muller boxing match on the wireless at Severn Bridge Station. Had they not done so the death toll would have been considerably worse as the span they were working on was one of the two that fell.
Within a month of the disaster the Western Region of British Railways had prepared an outline plan to repair the bridge. Pier 16 would be repaired and a new concrete pier would be constructed to replace pier 17. A single, welded mild steel span would then be placed across the top, supported in the middle by the new pier. The projected cost for this was £85,000.
It was found that pier 16 was significantly damaged and was leaning towards the Sharpness bank. It was therefore decided to erect a timber trestle beneath span 15-16 and the contract to do this was awarded to Peter Lind & Co. Ltd.
The bridge suffered further mishap on 17th February 1961 when the tanker barge BP EXPLORER capsized and struck pier 20 causing a further £12,740 worth of damage.
Peter Lind & Co. Ltd. hired the twin floating crane TWEEDLEDUM & TWEEDLEDEE to assist with the erection of the trestle. On the 14th April 1961 the TWEEDLEDUM & TWEEDLEDEE broke away from its moorings on a flood tide and drifted into the bridge damaging the dolphins on pier 20. The crane jib also struck the underside of the bridge. This time the damage was estimated at £6,000."

Today's prompt... holiday colors.... does green count? Like, for St. Patrick's Day? Why not.
I made the journaling tag - I was inspired by the idea of not spending $4.99 + $8 shipping from Studio Calico. (I love Studio Calico and salivate at all their products and kits, but really.) Mine cost $0. I'll post a tutorial on my blog if you want to see them up close.... here it is: happiebyabbie.blogspot.com/2012/05/load-512-day-3.html

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.

I am going to finish my 5th child's album through load this month all the while trying to apply the daily promps. In this layout I am in the center of the layout. Also, the song I would choose would have to be -- the theme song to Chariots of Fire.
Crews load explosives into drill holes for rock blasting.
To excavate the rock required to widen the interstate, the contractor has the option to blast Monday through Thursday evenings near the Lake Keechelus Snowshed (milepost 58) until October.

Day Five
Ordinarily, I'd be all about the texture...goodness knows I've got more embossing folders than I know what to do with. However, today was just different...I took a different approach.
The grid-style seems to be working recently, so I'm back at it again.
Same size as the others, 6.5 x 11.

"It only took a ping pong ball & a fishbowl at the local church festival - & Jon & I won ourselves a pair of fish! We named them Jager & Meister. We took a midnight run to WalMart to get a bowl & fish food. We loved them for an entire week. However, our out of town trip resulted in a fish casualty. They lasted six days longer than expected. :)"
