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!
The prompt was animal related...wild + animal...so yeah. Haha.
Journaling reads:
"my wild side

American Century loads coal at Superior Midwest Energy.

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.
I first saw the XXD load-ding mentioned on Acquire. I purchased it from A+R Store, which, to my knowledge is the only place you can buy it from in the U.S.
Some things to note.
1) You should use the supplied 3M stickytape to stick them together. If you don’t and your wall wart doesn’t apply enough pressure it will fall apart in the middle of the night (which is also why the thing doesn’t line up correctly in the later photos).
2) It stores flat for transport, but then the sticky stuff isn’t going to be so good for you. YMMV
3) They have a cutaway for the U.S. grounding cord if you need it. It also doubles as a mount point for a tackboard pin which they sell separately.
4) It comes in three colors: red, black, and pink. I prefer the one I got.
5) You can buy a bunch, nail them into the wall and use them to store pens and such. They even will sell it in bulk with corporate logos and shit.
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.
This Jetty was originally used to bring in the Naphtha Minus Unit at Shell Haven Oil Refinery.
On this occasion it was to take out the Hydrocracker Reactors after dismantling. This jetty has not been demolished but the land behind it has been significantly raised as part of the London Gateway Port.
See it in 2014. www.flickr.com/photos/boxster986/15187288764/

Day 25
Inspiration : Self Defense
[The background story]
My mind works like a ping pong ball sometimes.
So when I first heard the prompt of self defense, Bob Marley's song "I shot the sheriff" came into my head because of one particular line. That got me thinking about other music and songs and lyrics and things that mean something to me and that led me to scrap the best concert that I never went to.
I have a lot, and I mean a lot of journaling on this one, but it's hidden in the pocket. Basically it tells the story of how Jon and I missed a concert [accidentally] but it ended up being a blessing in disguise so I could spend the night with my dad and brother before my grandma passed away.

Envelope: Hampton Arts
Washi Tape: Pebbles, Inc.

Ollie and Bri load one of the kayaks to take to the lake for the day, they had to make two trips because the Explorer's rack wasn't quite big enough and they didn't have good straps to hold two kayaks down at a time. They are sooo heavy too!
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.
