Now this is the way to fast load salt into Peterbilt dump trucks, right off the boat! Port of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on December 4, 2004.
Our Daily Challenge 12-17 August: Style.
If he can afford the vehicle and the insurance he can afford the fine for parking in a loading bay.
I missed a close-up of the obvious joy on the traffic warden's face!
We had a local Pizzeria owner who ALWAYS parked directly outside his premises on double yellow lines and settled the fines monthly at the court. All very well, but the traffic often backed up round the obstruction he caused.
Nowadays his limo would be towed or lifted away.

Day 1
Used an app and a photo I purchased from Shutterfly to make this quick LO that quickly tells my story. First time I've used an app to scrap with.
A hundred loads of sand take the curve south of Gordon at 43 mph northbound. There are two big GEs here on the front, and one pushing in DPU mode.
Every Man a Gunner
The 70-foot, four engine B-17 heavy bomber was not only built to fly long distances at high altitude (1,800-mile range, 35,000 foot ceiling by 1941) to drop a three-ton load of bombs.... it was also well armed. When Boeing introduced the test model in 1935 the impressive battleship of the sky carried five 30-caliber and 50-caliber machineguns with which to defend itself against enemy fighters. That staunch array of firepower prompted early newspaper reporters to dub it a "Flying Fort." By the time the first Flying Fortresses began arriving in England in the summer of 1942 to begin their bombing campaign against Europe, they were sporting as many as a dozen or more 50-caliber machineguns. Each B-17 was crewed by a team--ten men--and each of them was a gunner.
On the ceiling of the Flying Fortress and directly behind the pilot in a rotating Plexiglas bubble were mounted the twin fifties of the Top Turret, usually manned by the senior enlisted crewman and aircraft ENGINEER. Further back in the fuselage the radio man's training equipped him to handle all necessary communications during the mission. When the bomber was under attack however, he was quick to man his own gun from the radio room hatch to ward off enemy fighters.
Behind the radio room and beneath the fuselage hung the clear Plexiglas sphere of the Ball Turret Gunner, a cramped and dangerous position critical to defending the belly of the Flying Fortress. Above the Ball Turret the two waist gunners manned their own fifties, defending against attack from the left or right. Further back in the tiny crawl space beneath the vertical stabilizer the Tail Gunner crouched at his own twin-fifties to protect the rear. These six men comprised the enlisted component of the Flying Fortress crew, and could ably protect their airplane from attack from any direction left, right, above, below or behind.
The bomber's NAVIGATOR and BOMBARDIER shared space in the vulnerable nose of the Flying Fortress, one of the Luftwaffe pilots' favorite points of attack. Each had specific duties in terms of plotting the route and accurately deploying the bomb load, but both were quick to defend their airplane with their own fifty-caliber machineguns. It was estimated that the typical navigator spent 5% of his time navigating, 95% of his time behind his guns. The same was true for the bombardier.
Only the pilot, in the left-hand seat of the cockpit, and the co-pilot on his right, did not have assigned and readily accessible machineguns to turn on attacking enemy fighters. (In fact, some pilots such as Major Jay Zeamer in the Pacific, went so far as to have forward-firing machineguns mounted in the nose of their Fortress that could be triggered from the cockpit.) Not infrequently did the demands of intense combat necessitate the co-pilot leaving his station to replace a killed or severely wounded comrade at one of the many guns spread throughout the Flying Fortress.
These ten men were more than just the "crew of an airplane"--they were a team. "One word explains how we got through the hell over Europe 25 times--and back home without a casualty," stated Bob Morgan who piloted the famed Memphis Belle. "TEAMWORK!" For the most part, the squadrons of the Army Air Force maintained crew integrity. The men were assigned together, slept in the same billets (though officers and enlisted had separate tents or buildings), and flew together except for those occasions when one might be pulled to assist a separate crew when one of their members was ill or injured.
I tackled two adventures today - examining something closer and using new products. I didn't have any enlargements of our trip to the Harry Potter studios to scrap, so took a photo of my eldest standing in front of a wall of wands (Ollivander's exhibit) and a tight shot of the display of all the wands used by the main characters in the books to talk about how surprised I was to realize just how many wands there were in the books. I also used two sheets of MY newest supplies which are from Shimelle's Glitter Girl collection.

A bunch of local log truckers got together to do a charity run for a dying friend. The best part was that Toad got to drive his truck in to town-at the head of the 28 truck convoy!
I'm proud to say that I was a part of it. With the donations from the loads, a free will offering afterwards and a charity auction we raised $28 000 for his family!
This Logging Truck is pulling SEVEN loads of logs out of the Thompson River drainage in Western Montana.
In the early '70s Claridge Trucking had the task of haulling Anaconda's logs from up to 100 miles away to the rail head at Thompson Falls. They were able to successfully haul multiple loads down the private Anaconda Logging road to the landing.
This video was provided by Michelle Veach Ferrel, grand daughter of Floyd Veach who was the dirver of this truck. Hauling seven loads earned him recognition in the Guiness Book of World Records.
During this time it was not unusual to see multiple loads on this road. 3, 4, or 5 loads were common. Floyd Veach pioneered hauling SEVEN loads. He did this more than once.
Wilts & Dorset Bristol MW 703 (RMR524) loads at Salisbury Bus Station with the 1225 to Hindon on 26 October 1970. The 25 is one of the group of routes westwards from Salisbury that retain the same numbers some 50 years later, although (like most W&D routes) it had 200 added to its number during the period of the merger with Hants & Dorset. (This photo also appears in my Wilts & Dorset 1970-72 album.)

Still working on the wedding album from my son's and DIL's wedding last May. This fit the detail prompt and close up pictures of some of the special items of the day.
Whilst we where restoring my own Westfield AEC, and having already restored the Westfield trailer, the next logical step was to have a textile machine in an original Westfield cradle as a load for it, and as It would have worked.
These textile machine's vary in length and width depending on the manufacturer, the machine that we acquired was a 60 foot 'Bentley Cotton', all of it was available, but with the trailer being only 32 foot we decided to just have half of it, and they would have been split if being transported any distance anyway.
It's being loaded with a 10 ton capacity American built 'Towmotor' forklift, picking the machine up like this would have ruined it, with such small clearances involved in these machines, that's why a cradle was used.

My punch broke! I was planning different sized circles and the mid-size broke! Bummer! Anyway, many of the circles are punched from papers used in this year's LOAD crop. The journaling reads: "My goal in 2015 is to CHRONICLE my life stories - yesterday's and today's. Thus far, on 27th February, I've kept up the pace and I'm on target!* Thanks to LOAD 215, I'm having a great adventure, telling lots of stories! Cheers~"
Too bad LOAD can't go all year!
* I am chronicling at least one story a day tho' not all are layouts.
Perhaps not a landmark in the strictest sense of the word, but a much anticipated part of our Reunion Experience. 😊
