MH-20 / D 80XX and 81XX series had modified cowls. Similar were the buses in MH-40 / N 829X and 83XX series.
This is a photograph from the 1st round of the 2015 Mullingar Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 6th May 2015 at 20:00. This year the 5KM was ran on a modified route based on the route from the last couple of years. Tonight the final 1KM stayed within the Belvedere Gardens bringing runners down to the lakeside for a second time and finishing along the aptly named Stream Of Life. The route modification meant that the race offered a slightly faster route than the hill finish of previous years.
The race is promoted by Mullingar Harriers for the Pat Finnerty Memorial Cup. Competitors need to run 3 races out of the 4 races in May (any order) to be considered in the overall placing in categories at the conclusion of the league. Over 350 people took part in tonight's event. The weather was perfect for running with sunshine with just a little breeze. The new finish area provided a nice space for runners to stay around and chat in the evening sunshine. The Mullingar Road League 2015 has started off successfully and looks to add to the success in the history of this great series.
The "Road League" is something of a misnomer but is an indication of the League's origins on the roads around Ladestown Mullingar prior to it's move into Belvedere in 2008. The Road League is the envy of many other races in the country as the Belvedere locations offers a completely traffic free 5KM route.

In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph. Taking these photographs and preparing them for online posting takes a significant effort and time. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc. If you are using the photographs in newspapers or magazines we ask that you mention where the original photograph came from.

Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

As you can see, it was missing one of the washer-type things, meaning that the machine head for the 4th string moved about way too much.
Medusa boss design. I worked this up from an old Greek amphora showing Perseus carrying a shield with the head of Medusa blazoned on it. I like the symbolism of Medusa-- a being so striking ugly that one look at her stopped men in their tracks. There's something to be said for that kind of power.
Executed by Greg Kidd of Sal's Tattoo and Barber Shop in Toronto.
I guess I forgot to post this but this was taken while I was working on it. I took my kenko extension tubes which are designed to pass the signal through to the lens and I drilled 1/16th holes at 90 degrees to each of the 8 pins on two of the rings (little bit tricky). I drilled a hole in the side of the tube to feed some wires through and soldered the wires to connect the two tubes so that they can be physically seperated but still electrically connected. I added a DB9 connector in the middle for good measure after this pic was taken and cleaned things up a bit.
The idea is that one tube goes right on the camera body and the other one goes on my reversed lens so as far as the camera is concerned, the reversed lens is still connected, TTL, EXIF, Aperture...it's all there baby!
New skeg control box. Much neater and a bit wider. All is good now :-)

Today I did a awesome modification to a BrickArms M4 Carbine: by cutting the barrel in half and cutting off the rail/handle, I created a "Commando", one of the assault rifles featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops, and it is definetly one of my Top 10 favorite Black Ops weapons. Plus, my favorite character, Frank Woods, is almost always seen wielding this gun, usually with an ACOG scope.

I enjoyed building this airplane set over the holiday, but it needed a little something extra. Since the plane reminded me of an F4-U Corsair, I decided to add the folding wings. With only six or eight extra pieces, I was able to get the wings to fold with very little modification. The small pip in the inner wing keep the wings locked down while in flight.
Control knob (slider) for the skeg.
A solid rod of clear polycarbonate was used to shape the knob.
The bolt is used to pinch the skeg cable.
Some modifications to a cheap chinese USB to serial adapter (from DealExtreme). I cut away the 9 pin D-sub connector and soldered away the serial voltage level converter and shorted the needed pins from the PCB to redirect the TTL signals from the USB to serial converter chip (on the other side of the PCB) to the old D-sub pins for easy wiring.
This way I'm able to interface the board directly to a microcontroller and there is no need for another serial voltage level converter on the circuit. With no modifications there would be two chips in the circuit that aren't necessary as the low voltage signals from the USB chip are first pumped up to match the RS232 specs and then back to low voltage for the microcontroller.
I used the adapter in the logic analyzer board:
