Dirty work
Just a photo, but I'll scan it in later.
Another day where the prompt didn't fit so I scrapped a photo that I love.

"he does the dirty work
this guy is like no other guy i know...or that i've dated. he does all the dirty work...no questions asked and he constantly amazes me. he transferred the slimy fish from one bowl to the next...he flushed the fish when they died...he kills the spiders & other assorted creepy crawly bugs...he cleans off my car when it's snowing while i wait inside...he takes care of me when i'm sick...even with the chicken pox...he opens every single door for me...he takes out the garbage and he does laundry...he's like my own personal super hero! he's got a smile that makes me fall in love every single day...he's got the perfect hands for holding and high fiving...his southern charm makes me not hate texas so much...his generosity is never-ending...his laughter is contagious...his driving makes me feel safe [prolly cause we don't go over 35mph!]...he's got amazing bartending skills...he comes from an incredible family...his eyes tell the story of his soul. he does the dirty work, but he does so much more than that. i can say with 177% accuracy i know there isn't anything -clean or dirty- he wouldn't do for me. that's just who he is...and i love that about him. i love him. 2-21-2012"

May LOAD Day 28 Challenge. Simple scrap page using 'white' space. I like doing these kind of pages, especially when the photo is doing most of the talking. I couldn't resist fussy cutting the dragon. :) The photo isn't messed up, it's the glare from my flash when I took the pic of the lo. :::sigh:::
Ted - You don't know what I went through to get these photos.
If I continue posting on this site, think you are going to have to see that I get hazardous duty pay.
You can read some of the story on my blog.
Wild side
So I know it's a little hard to read...but overall I kinda like it!

Re-enactors from the 3rd Maine Regiment Volunteer Infantry load their rifles in preparation for a firing demonstration in the fields at Alna Center, during the June, 2024 "Road to Togus" event at the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway Museum.
Back in the 1860s, most Federal Soldiers in the infantry carried the M1861 Springfield Rifle, a heavy, single-shot, muzzle-loading weapon of .58 caliber. A far cry from military weapons of today, these rifles were effective out to about 500 yards, but even the most highly-trained soldiers were only able to load and fire perhaps 3 rounds per minute accurately. The loading process had multiple, time-consuming steps, and usually required the soldier to be standing. Since most infantry fought in lines, in open country, a soldier loading his weapon was an inviting, stationary target. It's no wonder that Civil War battles produced incredible and terrible casualty rates. The folks who took on the defense of the United States of America were some pretty brave people.
Afghan workers remove loads of sludge from the river below the Kuk Chenar (Dutch) Bridge in Baghlan Province. The bridge was secured during Operation Taohid II, an Afghan-led operation in the North designed to defeat the insurgency, provide humanitarian supplies to the people, and enable development projects in the area.
Loading is underway as the clamshells zip back-and-forth filling one of the newer lakers in Hamilton, Ontario.
I've been meaning to scrapbook this time in my life. I pulled a few favorite photos (gosh I'm glad I took polaroids of my first day of school each year) and used some new CM papers I just got + a sketch from last month's CK.
Track laying at the Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway to re-instate the section of line between Stonehenge Works and Mundays Hill. When the line was in commercial use part of the section was double track and the opportunity has been taken to extend that distance.
Part of the force’s role is to escort abnormal loads across the road and motorway networks.
Earlier this month we assisted with the movement of a bridge section.
GMP officer took over from our Cheshire colleagues and escorted the load to the Yorkshire border.

We're on the BN at Rochelle, IL looking at an eastbound loaded coal train sitting just west of the HWY 38 crossing. This train is a flood detour from the Summer of 1993. Train came down out of the Twin Cities and is about to go through the BN-C&NW interchange track on the north side of the diamonds. The C&NW 4314 just backed through the interchange track and coupled ahead of the trio of BN C30-7s. The GP7r wouldn't m.u. properly with the GE's though and the crew took the geep off and went into Proviso with just the BN units, getting positive blocks on the main from the dispatcher since those units didn't have C&NW cab signals. Train was going to the Com-Ed plant at Waukegan, IL. Taken on Sunday morning, July 11 around 12:50 a.m.-C&NW 4314 along with BN 5001, 5070 and 5528 on 115 loads.

My annual weekend trip to London, which gives me Saturday afternoon, evening and Sunday morning out and about wandering where ever I want to go. My daughters (and a coach load of ladies) are on the trip so I do have some other commitments on Saturday evening. Travelling at the beginning of November we were earlier than previous years so, although the decorations were in place, London wasn't as colourful as previous visits. I had decided to walk across to Little Venice as it isn't far from our hotel at Marble Arch and I hadn't been before. Having walked along the canal at home all summer chasing wildlife I wasn't impressed by a canal in London, it was windy so no reflections in the water and I left fairly soon. I'd seen Paddington Rail Station on the map not far away so I headed there. I got my camera out for the first time, it was fairly quiet and there weren't any restrictions on cameras (as far as I could see) I made eye contact with quite a few of the staff and smiled and nodded, as I would back home, and got quite a pleasant reception, no worries about me and my backpack and camera. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the station was. I did a nine mile circle taking in Hyde Park , Piccadilly, Regent Street and Oxford Street. The London to Brighton run was on the following day so Regent Street was shut with many of the cars and loads of other transport related stuff on display. It was busy and the light was going so I didn't bother taking many photos. The cars were leaving Hyde Park just down the road from our hotel at dawn on Sunday but I couldn't muster enough enthusiasm to walk down even though I was up early. I grabbed some window and people shots on Oxford Street. Some of the Christmas displays were already in place, most notably Selfridge's, some of the displays were behind temporary work barriers as a new pavement was being laid and I couldn't get to the window, I decided to go back on Sunday morning and climb over them-which I did, Oxford street was very quiet just after 8.00 am and I got my shots.
On Sunday I walked a ten mile circle out to the Thames South Bank, on to the Shard and Tower Bridge. I went across in to The City and wound my way back to Hyde Park. We had really good journeys both ways and the coach driver did the journey home without a break, he was able to get back to the depot and park up inside his 4 1/2 hours driving time which I think is a first in 16 years. I walked home from Slaithwaite and rounded my weekend mileage to twenty miles, this is the furthest I've walked since I had reconstructive surgery on my right foot at the end of February. I wasn't particularly fired up for the trip after one of the most difficult years I can remember-and that's saying something-so I struggled to find something to get enthused about which is probably why I didn't take any photos at Little Venice and very few at Regents Street.
This is a front loader, from a 20-piece Road Construction diecast playset I have. It doesn't have who made it on the package, only the phrase "Hot Zone" on the front. However, some of the pieces are exactly like pieces I've found in smaller playsets which are made by Suntoys, so I suspect they are the same company that made this front loader and the playset.
