When a few flowers died in each of two bunches of flowers I was given, I merged them together and think the colours go well.
Day 17 post-op yesterday and I took a walk down the road, with Ray and 2 crutches for company (although I can now manage fine with 1 indoors) my target being to the local church and back. It was slow, the traffic a bit noisy to somebody unaccustomed to walking out but there is a handy seat near the church.
Once home, Ray checked the distance and found I had walked just over half a mile - well pleased!
NS 21D getting ready to depart Charleston's Seven Mile Yard. The OLS Unit which was working as a Yard Switcher had come towards the outer limits of the Yard to pick some cars.
An Operation Lifesaver consist like no other was assigned to promote safety along the Wasatch Front in late October 2006.
Powering the train were factory fresh UP SD70ACe units 1989 and 1996 bracketing a pair of stainless steel Budd passenger cars.
The unique train was photographed in the Fourth South Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah the afternoon of Oct. 27, 2006.
Obsidian Task Force has now secretly invaded Germany, and are now undergoing an attack on the capitol.

We stumbled by chance on a coast guard rescue operation while visiting Las Teresitas.
Helicopter and boats were searching around a specific spot on the coast.
We checked later and found out that tragically two young swimmers got trapped in a small cave and drowned before help arrived.
Dover and Rockaway River RP-2 with the equipment for the next day's Operation Toy Train runs west through Dover, NJ, on NJ Transit's Morris and Essex Line. The train would run the next day over DRRV rails from Rockaway to Phillipsburg, to collect toys for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots.
Traffic rolls on as 93M and it's lone Operation Lifesaver GP38-2 glide over Herr Street in downtown Harrisburg as they return to Harrisburg Yard from the Steelton Industrial Track.
A gang of Wolfpack bandits try to raid the local wizard with one of them distracting him while the others go down the chimney. Operation "Chimney Sweep" did not go as planned...
An entry for Bandit's Raid over at the CC.

CSXT Southbound Freight Train M583 ( Nashville, TN. to Hamlet, NC. ) passes through Nickajack Lake, TN. with CSXT SD70MAC 4568 leading the way, specially painted for Operation Lifesaver's 50th Anniversary.
April 2030, after information that has been intercepted by the crushed Warsaw Pact about the weak points of DARKWATER's defense around New York City and the massive planning that followed, the attack may commence. Platoons of EU soldiers infiltrate and squeeze through the cracks in the defense system. The most efficient way to infiltrate was to move through towering crates and harbor ships to attack the grand city.

Also big thanks to Andreas and Eric for giving me tips and advice on this too prolonged project :P
NASA’s Operation IceBridge collected some rare images on a flight out of Punta Arenas, Chile on Nov. 5, 2014, on a science flight over western Antarctica dubbed Ferrigno-Alison-Abbott 01. Following a routine calibration pass over Punta Arenas airport, the NASA DC-8 overflew the USS Constellation which is being towed for demolition after 53 yeas of service. The crew then snapped a few shots of a calving front of the Antarctic ice sheet. This particular flight plan was designed to collect data on changes in ice elevation along the coast near the Ferrigno and Alison ice streams, on the Abbot Ice Shelf, and grounded ice along the Eights Coast.

Now you know why I made the Choco Chip test yesterday ;)
The Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991), codenamed Operation Desert Storm (January 17, 1991– February 28, 1991) commonly referred to as simply the Gulf War, was a war waged by a U.N.-authorized coalition force from 34 nations led by the United States, against Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait. -Wikipedia
Please, Enjoy!
C&C welcome!

A big hornet nest on the tall trees has been destroyed. Six people from Public Defense Department (JPA) called upon by the villagers came with a long prop, cotton waste and gasoline. About 15 minutes later, they start the flame and bring it up to burn the nest. Then, a colony of hornet (Giant Wasps) has turned to ash.
Can you imagine what the lost to the nature and macro lovers like us !
The rain lashed down in thick sheets over Glen Etive, turning the winding Skyfall road into a silver ribbon of watery steel. Mist clung low to the heathered hills, and thunder rumbled like distant artillery fire. A lone figure waddled through the storm, trench coat flapping, umbrella hopelessly inverted.
Secret Agent P — the penguin with a license to chill — was on a mission.
He adjusted his tiny earpiece, which squawked unintelligibly before going silent. The enemy transmission had gone dead just after he’d intercepted the scrambled message: "Package en route. Eyes open. Danger cold-blooded."
P narrowed his beady eyes.
Just then, the moan of an approaching engine cut through the rain. A sleek, aggressive Mazda SUV tore around the bend, tires slicing the slick tarmac like a scalpel. Its gunmetal paint glistened. A badge gleamed on the side: MI6.
With a screech, the SUV skidded to a halt beside him. The tinted window slid down.
Inside, Commander James Bond 007 looked unfazed by the weather, dark suit immaculate, tie perfectly knotted.
"Need a lift, Agent P?" he asked coolly.
The penguin didn’t answer. He just hopped onto the running board and slid smoothly into the passenger seat, water dripping off his feathers like oil off a seal.
Bond glanced at him. "I trust you're armed."
P tapped his flipper to his custom flipper-gun. Bond gave a curt nod and floored it.
As the SUV thundered along the valley road, gun barrels emerged from the front grill, and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Expecting trouble?" P asked in his gravelly Scottish accent.
Bond smirked. "Trouble’s already here."
A muffled cough echoed from the rear.
From the boot.
Bond sighed. "Ignore that."
Another loud sneeze followed, then a metallic thunk. The boot popped slightly, and a head emerged. Judi Dench, in a slightly damp Superman costume, complete with cape, sniffled.
"Bond, you idiot, you hit a pothole the size of Inverness!" she croaked, nose red, mascara slightly smeared. "I told you the cape wasn’t waterproof!"
Agent P turned, blinked once, then twice. "Why is she dressed like Superman?"
"Charity event," Bond muttered.
Judi coughed violently. "Charity can wait! You two better focus — the Cold-Blood Syndicate is already here."
Sure enough, headlights flared in the distance. Black Land Rovers sped through the mist behind them, their hoods painted with cobra sigils.
Machine guns chattered.
P leaned out the window and fired a tiny rocket launcher from under his wing. One Land Rover exploded in a spectacular fireball.
Bond hit a red button. The SUV's rear seat ejected, launching a decoy penguin drone dressed in a tuxedo skyward. It twirled through the air, attracting enemy fire before detonating in a burst of confetti and rubber fish.
Judi sighed. "I’m getting too old for this nonsense."
Bond didn’t answer. He was too busy flooring the gas and muttering, “Remind me never to share a car with a penguin again.”
Agent P just winked at Judi. “You’d look better in a Batgirl costume anyway.”
Lightning split the sky. The battle had just begun.
Mission Status: Classified.
Agent P: Active.
Rain: Unrelenting.
Sauce: Ai
In organising this stealth operation times were agreed, watches synchronised and 4 troops would meet at the given time.
Officer Dixon and Fly by the seat of his pants Pedlar had assembled at the RV point, yet no signs of the other 2 soldiers.
Polite whistling was exchanged between OD & FP to while away a bit of time, but still no show.
So the two dedicated soldiers decided to put on their combat equipment, namely wellies and set off alone on this mission.
As the two soldiers were almost approaching the venue to be photographed, their attention was drawn to a lady several metres up the cliff face sitting at a table of the Port William pub, waving her arms in an uncoordinated manner, shouting “get up here, my glass is empty again, your round”.
So the two soldiers duly obliged where they joined Christine and Dave.
With glasses charged a thoroughly enjoyable 4 way conversation ensued in one of the most idyllic drinking locations on the north coast of Cornwall.
Following a whole load of banter it was felt while we were still able to walk we had better head down and see what we could load onto our memory cards at Trebarwith Strand.
So good to meet up again Christine, Dave and Mark.
Hope you all have a great weekend out there in Flickerland.
I so appreciate you viewing my photos and leaving the comments and banter
