Quickly cloaked by thick cloud cover, as seen by many Space Coast spectators, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted a pair of communications satellites into medium-Earth orbit Sunday afternoon for the Luxembourg-based company SES.
1940-built Fowler 0-4-0 diesel mechanical shunter ‘Peter’ being positioned at St. Blazey ahead of next weekends open day. This loco ‘should’ run, but needs some work done on the O Rings around the cylinder heads as coolant currently manages to find its way to places it shouldn’t be. It lived at Bodmin for many years, and before that worked at the clay works at Meeth.

I was outside earlier taking pix of my cars and something dawned on me. When I was younger I used to see these older guys with everything I wanted. They had the wife, the kids, the good job, the house, and most importantly to me at the time, the cool cars. The realization that I'm now that guy didn't escape me. And it's not that I have so much, but that I have what I want. I'm happy. It kinda' sucks that for most (including me) it takes a lifetime to achieve these things, but I guess it's not how fast you get there, but that you arrive.

BMW M6 GT3
New livery design/sponsor for Turner Motorsports for the 24.
This is another shot through 2 fences from behind the International Horseshoe. Managed some decent focus with a non-stabilized 400mm lens.
I gotta say, the more I used this lens, the more I enjoyed using it. It's super light but you really have to increase the shutter speed. I know this lens is absolutely tack-sharp based on my tests (tripod mounted) so any shortcomings in focus are clearly operator error so, I'll keep practicing.
BMW brings their M8 to the high banks of Daytona for the start of the 2018 season.
Kinda partial to the M6 myself, as the M8 looks more like a 2-door saloon than a super coupe. Their debut wasn't that great as the didn't have a great race but I guess that's to be expected with a new car in competition.
As a BMW driver myself, I'll of course keep an eye on their progress this year.
