A series of photos taken in and around the Wholesale District of Downtown Los Angeles, CA. This series attempts to create a portrait of the area through an examination of the architecture and other man-made "modifications" to the area.
I modified my Raspberry Pi by removing S2 (the so-far unused DSI video connector) and installing a right-angle connector in P5. This gives me easy access to 4 more I/O pins.
Removing S2 didn’t occur without scuffing up the board very slightly. Should anyone want to try it themselves, the trick is to gently pry the plastic of S2 off the pins. It will slide up/off, allowing one to remove the pins individually.
It's hard to see, but I didn’t sit P5 flat against the board. This is for two reasons: 1) The key-tab on some cable ends would have made it impossible to slide on otherwise and 2) That pesky C5 is hiding underneath and I didn’t want to inadvertently scrape it off.

I didn't want to use a zipper for this and wanted to make the pattern more authentically 40s, so I made a little button extension. I could have put the flap on the inside, but I decided that I rather have the bulk on the outside where people can see that it's fabric, rather than on the inside making my hips look awkwardly wide on one side.
I have more pictures and info that I'll post come midnight and the post limit resets!
Getting ready to cut the top out of the case to fit the Black Ice SR1 480mm radiator in - the stock case fits a 360mm radiator but since I'm removing the optical drive bay it makes sense to go 480mm.
Chevy alternator wired with a sidemarker lamp on the dash for for a diode and tells if its charging.
I have made a few changes to the board mostly around the the lower middle area. This should reduce EMI around the crystal oscillator of the ds1307 real time clock.

This is a photograph from the Father Murphy AC 5 Mile Road Race, Fun Run, and Walk was held in Kildalkey, Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Easter Sunday 20th April at 12 noon.
This is the fourth 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.
The weather was almost perfect, if a little breezy, for almost 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. 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.
This photograph is part of a larger set taken mostly at the 1 mile mark and at about 1 mile to go in the race. The full set is available at: [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157644175251925/]

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
From first glance I knew I wanted to get this. But the gap on the canopy was unacceptable! The other mods were just my preference. Plus I added a crew.
Extension on the side is very stable and prevents accidental operation of the right side buttons. The extension also makes the camera feel bigger and more comfortable during pod or handheld operation. Discussion at www.flickr.com/groups/2082775@N20/discuss/72157635072289891/
Cibola National Forest & National Grasslands
Kiowa National Grasslands
Fence Modification for Pronghorn Passage
The New Mexico Chapter of the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (BHA), joined by their armed forces initiative out of Kirtland AFB, had a volunteer weekend April 8-10th, 2022 at the Mills Rim Campground on the Kiowa National Grassland (NG). About 12 people volunteered on Saturday to work with the Kiowa NG staff and the NMDGF pronghorn biologist, Tony Opatz, to modify fences so pronghorn (antelope) can pass underneath them easier.
Pronghorn see fences as barriers to their movement, not realizing they can jump over them and so they only pass underneath the wires. If the wires are too low to let them pass under, they can’t get beyond these fences to escape predators, find food, and access water. BHA’s volunteer group improved nearly 10 miles of Kiowa NG fence line by raising the bottom barbed wire up to a more suitable height, and by completely replacing the lowest barbed wire with smooth wire for ¾ mile in a critical area where pronghorn need to reach water. It’s an incredible accomplishment that we couldn’t have done without their hard work.

Just finished refurbishing this Graflex Crown Graphic. Bare wood finish fresh wrinkle coat paint job, complete with swing modified front standard and a cool wooden tripod. Old brass lens from Kodak 5x7 camera.
gotta love that wrinkle coat paint
its up for sale now.
Use magnet to store chuck key.
These magnets were taken out of an abandoned hard drive which, like most things i deal with, was found on the streets for free.

Removing the spring was a dangerous business done at arms length with a long screw driver and safety goggles. Perhaps I should have put the camera down too :)
Needless to say it ended up halfway down the garage narrowly missing my nice new headlamps
Further stick modifications courtesy of Evilstevie. This is a Jessops clamp attached to the stick so that rather than fumbling one-handedly with my bag on a mosey about, I can just push down the lens cover and I'm set up, on a tripod (well, monopod) ready to go for reasonably steady pictures.
StickCam can also be applied to my elbow crutches or wheelchair, and is removed for non-camera occasions.
When I'm next up to having a little walk at night, we might see what pictures are like if combined with my StickLights...
(this pic taken by Evilstevie)
With the fluorescent dot lit up, you can see that the light is actually on and working. (btw, the power light (red) is showing that the batteries are low)
You can do this yourself...
All you need is:
Headlight
1/16" Drill Bit
Hand Drill
1/16" Blue or Green Fluorescent Rod (available at hobby shops)
Hobby Knife
Emery Board
Clear Blue or Green Hobby Paint
Carefully drill a 1/16" hole in the shroud of the light in front of the lens.
Using the hobby knife, cut the fluorescent rod at a sharp angle (resembling a hypodermic needle).
Press the rod into the hole, from the top of the light until it extends past the end of the cut (if it's too loose, a drop of CA glue can set it into place).
Cut the rod about 3/16" above the top of the light. Clean up the cut with the emery board, then firmly press the rod flush with the top of the light using a hard flat surface. lastly, trim off the extra from the inside of the shroud. If you like, a drop of clear blue or green hobby paint can improve the color of the light.
With a simple glance, you can now tell if the light is on, or off, flashing or steady, even if you can't see the beam due to dark/wet conditions.
Hawker Nimrod Mk.I Biplane:
The Hawker Nimrod Mk.I was effectively the Naval equivalent of the Hawker Fury Mk.I, with a few modifications to suit her Naval role. The prototype of the '‘Norn'’ as she was initially known first flew in August 1930 and following successful trials an order for 42 Nimrod Mk.I aircraft was placed. The first six examples to enter service were with 402 Fleet Fighter Flight aboard H.M.S 'Courageous' replacing their Fairey Flycatchers. The Nimrod never fired her guns in anger, but served well with both the Home and Mediterranean Fleets. The last Nimrods to fly operationally were with 802 Naval Air Station (NAS) when they were replaced by Sea Gladiators at Hal Far, Malta, in May 1939. The very last Nimrod in Fleet Air Arm service was Mk.I S1582, which was being used as a hack with 753 NAS undertaking weather checks until she was paid off in January 1942.
The Fighter Collection’s Nimrod Mk.I S1581 was the third production aircraft built by the Hawker Engineering Company at their Kingston-upon-Thames facility and allocated the construction number 41H-43617. Nimrod S1581 was subsequently delivered to 408 Fighter Flight as ‘573’ embarked upon H.M.S 'Glorious'. The flight became 803 NAS in April 1933 and S1581 remained with the unit aboard H.M.S 'Glorious' until she was written off in early 1938. Her subsequent history is unclear but there are indications that she may have spent a number of years with an Air or Sea Cadet Squadron prior to being sold for scrap. The substantial remains of S1581 were recovered from a scrapyard in West London in the early 1970's and donated to the RAF Museum. The remains passed to Viv Bellamy in the early 1980's to act as a pattern for his Fury replica, but were then purchased in 1994 by Aero Vintage who set about restoring this magnificent machine back to her former glory.
The restoration was both complex and demanding but by the Autumn of 1999 she was sitting on her undercarriage and the first trial assembly of the whole airframe took place. The following Spring saw the Kestrel V engine installed and test run for the first time in over 60 years. The eagerly awaited first flight took place at Henlow, Bedfordshire, in July 2000 with Flt Lt Charlie Brown at the controls. She is authentically painted in the colours she wore as ‘573’ when she served with 802 NAS during the 1930's. She joined The Fighter Collection in 2004 and is a firm favourite with pilots and crowds alike. She provides a wonderful glimpse into the elegant silver biplanes used during the inter-war years as front-line fighters.

Hawker Nimrod Mk.II Biplane:
British Hawker Nimrod II (G-BURZ) K3661, manufacturer’s serial 41H.59890, was completed on 5th September 1934, on 1st January 1935 it was placed in storage at RAF Cardington and then on 7th October 1936 went to the packing depot at RAF Sealand. On the 23rd October 1936 it was issued to 802 Flight in the Mediterranean with the side code number 562. It was C Flight Commander’s aircraft and therefore had its tailfin painted yellow as were the spinner wheels and fuselage band. It served from 1936 to June 1938 during which it suffered two landing accidents. Placed on Admiralty charge with the Fleet Air Arm on 23rd May 1939, its last recorded placement was to RNAS Lee on Solent in December 1939. During its time in the Mediterranean it is known to have been flown on 23rd August 1937 by Geoff Eveleigh who recalls it well (he also flew Nimrod S1581 now flying with the Fighter Collection after being restored by Aero Vintage).
A number of photographs exist of the aircraft at the Fleet Air Museum at Yeovilton, including two of its landing accidents, there is also a later photograph, which was taken at RAF Hawkinge in Kent showing the official 802 Squadron badge on the tail. In 1972 the Nimrod II was discovered on a rubbish dump in Ashford, Kent, more or less complete but well corroded. The aircraft was recovered and donated to the RAF Museum and stored at RAF Henlow. After RAF Henlow’s closure the fuselage was sold off to Mike Cookman. Aero Vintage acquired the fuselage from him in August 1991, and later that year the wings from this aircraft and those of the Nimrod I S1581 were also acquired from the RAF Museum.
Investigating the aircraft’s past, Mike Llewellyn, the proprietor of the Battle of Britain Museum at RAF Hawkinge, telephoned Guy with the news that he had a display case full of parts from the Nimrod. These included the control column, instrument panel, map box, ammunition chutes, and many other items, including the original cockpit data plates, confirming the serial number as K3661. It is believed the aircraft may have been used as an airfield decoy or been with a local ATC Squadron. Restoration commenced in 1992, helped by the fortuitous discovery of a large number of Nimrod drawings in Denmark. A Kestrel V engine was located and has been restored. The restoration was completed in November 2006 and the first post restoration flight was successfully completed on 16th November 2006. Hawker Nimrod K3661 (Reg No. G-BURZ) is owned by the Historic Aircraft Collection (HAC) based at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, she currently wears the markings of K3661 802 Squadron FAA 562, the aircraft resides in Duxford's Hangar 3.
