The Father Murphy AC 5 Mile Road Race, Fun Run, and Walk was held in Kildalkey, Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Easter Sunday 31st March 2013 at 12 noon.
This is the third successive year when the race has been staged in Kildalkey with races previous to 2011 held in the neighbouring parish village of Ballivor. The routing is a modification on the two previous years. This race combined an open 5 mile race and the annual Meath 5 mile road race championship. Traditionally, this race was held on St. Patrick's Day with the venues moving from Athboy, to Ballivor, to the current location of Kildalkey. This was it's first year having an Easter Sunday fixture.
The very cold weather of late did not deter over 200 runners, joggers, and walkers participating in the event. There were some great post-race refreshments available for competitors in the Kildalkey Community Center afterwards. Well done to everyone involved - from the members of Fr. Murphy AC, to the neighbouring clubs in Co. Meath - all of whom helped to continue to fine tradition that this race has built up over the past number of years. Our set of photographs are mostly from the finish area of the race. Fr. Murphy AC was formed in 1970 from the amalgamation of several smaller local clubs and now offers some very fine facilities to the people of this part of Co. Meath.

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
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 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.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the image(s) you request are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase 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.
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.
First real turning project. The work piece was an overbuilt aluminum stem from some mountain bike.
Having turned it down, I measured the diameter. My lathe puts in a taper of about .0005" per four inches.
A pile of parts all cut to length and deburred await further machining. The parts closest to the camera have been radiused using the KX1 CNC with the new automated spray mist system.
Schematic for use with a button

My gear selector rod needed shortening to match the stick position. I hacksawed a section out of the middle to bring the length between the pin centres down to 320mm
A friendly local garage welded the two sections back together with a piece of steel rod inside to add strength for a very reasonable £5
I then dressed the weld a bit and sanded back the plating on the rest of the rod ready for paint
3 coats of hammerite later and it's ready for install with new washers and clips

The rear of the Vivitar 285HV's hotshoe is a bit odd, and needs filing down to fit on the cheap light stand brackets from DealExtreme. This is my really bad job of it using a saw and too-big file.
These three King Air aircraft are sitting at Springbank and are used in cloud seeding. Operated by Weather Modification LLC they have wing mounted flares which shoot chemicals into clouds. The goal is to change the type of precipitation that falls from clouds. Hail reduction would be helpful in protecting crops in this area.
UPGRADES (modification sub-variant 2)
Slightly re-configured unit, after one year of use.
Fit pre-flush lines on CCB. and HMA.
The CCB needs carbon fines flushing before use and the HMA resin needs rinsing before use, these lines will save disconnecting plumbing.
(Yeah I know, but I finally got annoyed with it!)
Splitting the CCB and HMA will make the filter change and rinse process easier, last year it was a bit of a muddle having all three in one unit.
(I still need to install the HMA flush line but it isn't needed until next year, so I will add the parts to the filter replacement order)
Increase HMA bed to 950ml (you get 1 litre with the filter pack).
(This is the old no3 filter housing and the original 250ml resin bed)
Increase DI resin bed to 2100ml.
(This is the old pre filter line, 3x10" canisters)
(Currently 1400ml, 700ml refillable canister will be bought at next filter replacement)
No-3 filter, this didn't last very long! I got approx 1000 litres, not very cost effective.
Stopped using this and switched to remineralised RO, using GH/Kh powders.
While the filter was very effective, it lacked the capacity for my needs.
(See note)
HMA use. This seems to improve waste ratio from 4:1 to 2:1 (approx ratios)
So for 85,000 litres (approx) the system is very resourceful, once the resin is exhausted the RO membrane will pick up the slack. In theory it should increase membrane lifespan.
NOTE,
HMA effects mineral balance, the "proposed" blueprint, in use, made it necessary to reconstitute the first few hundred litres of water after the no3 filter, this in itself made the no3 filter basically redundant as RO water is also nitrate free!
(It is MUCH easier to remineralise the final product than to keep testing HMA water.)
Annual cost approx £60-70
(inc. filters, resins, powders. excl. water rates)
(Currently runs 6 systems + 3 offsite, approx 1500litres)
Bueno, chicos, creo que ya me gusta más.
He modificado el asiento, alargando la moto cuatro studs.
He modificado los reposapiés y el manillar con más detalle.
He puesto esa pieza serigrafiada en el motor.
Luz de freno en la parte trasera y rellenado los huecos entre el chasis y la rueda trasera y como no tenia que sacar la untima foto 😋
Okay, guys, I think I like it more now. I've modified the seat, lengthening the bike four studs. I've modified the footrests and handlebars in more detail. I've added that silkscreened part to the engine. I've added a brake light to the rear and filled in the gaps between the frame and the rear wheel. Of course, I didn't have to take the last photo. 😋
Although I love my Weber Smokey Mountain it doesn't come with a built in Thermometer.... which is really a must have for a smoker. So I read a few websites and voila....
In which we see my mighty new yellow hacksaw mercilessly bisecting 6-inch sections of 2-inch diameter black PVC drain pipe. "Why?", you might ask..."for to make shorty wheel trays!" I could answer.

I used the grinder to cut out some iron to be able to mount the added steel bar flush to the frontmost part of the original footpeg.

The Choirstalls date from the C14th and C15th.
The parish church was established as a place of worship in association with the founding of Ludlow by the Normans in the late 11th century. It is situated atop the hill around which the medieval town developed. The church was rebuilt in the year 1199 and has had several later additions and modifications. The tower is 135 feet (41 metres) high and commands expansive views of the town and surrounding countryside. Notable features include an extensive set of misericords in the choir stalls as well as fine stained glass windows. The church is is also known as "The Cathedral Of The Marches".
Ludlow is a market town in Shropshire. It sits near the confluence of the rivers Corve and Teme. The oldest part is the medieval walled town, founded in the late 11th century after the Norman conquest of England. It is centred on a small hill which lies on the eastern bank of a bend of the River Teme. Situated on this hill are Ludlow Castle and the parish church, St Laurence's, the largest in the county. From there the streets slope downward to the River Teme, and northward toward the River Corve. The town is in a sheltered spot beneath Mortimer Forest and the Clee Hills, which are clearly visible from the town.
Ludlow has nearly 500 listed buildings, including examples of medieval and Tudor-style half-timbered buildings. The town was described by Sir John Betjeman as "probably the loveliest town in England".
