Drawn during a break from a big project at work. I'm quite happy with what the team achieved, but it could not have been done without communication and teamwork.
What did we do?
Installed over 375 WiFi access points in 80+ degree residence halls at UW-Whitewater in one week.
Project 365 07/11/2017: This is one of the compact fluorescent bulbs I remember buying on clearance at a hardware store in 2001. It's been on a lamp, ceiling fixture, then back to desk lamp. Now it's on the porch fixture and has been for at least ten years. It's not as bright as it used to be but amazingly at 16-years old it still lights up.
I rather like the interior which is both well put together (no rattles) and pretty good quality. It is however filthy and could do with a freshen up. This will be addressed shortly.
The initial assessment went quite well. The underside is in very good condition and the previous advisories of a damp steering rack and corroded front brake lines don't look to have worsened. Both sides will probably clean up fine.
Having driven it another 20 miles or so we discovered the thermostat is probably stuck open, which accounts for the temperature gauge I thought was non-functional. It does actually start to read when stationary, but cools straight off again when on the move. Annoyingly thermostat replacement is a cambelt-off job on these, however I have a work-around for this, which involves installing a thermostat in one of the top-hoses. Apparently this is a common fix on Rover 75s too.
The cool running, very short runs and long periods standing all appear to have contributed to condensation and thus mayonnaise in the underside of the oil cap. I was a bit concerned this could be a symptom of head gasket failure, however the coolant is fine and it's exhibiting no other symptoms of HGF. I'll keep an eye on it.
Initially it ran very well this morning, but after 15 miles or so it started to hesitate and misfire. We hooked up the diagnostic gear and a few codes came up. They relate to the EGR valve, crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor. We managed to clear them and remove the EML, but the crankshaft sensor fault kept returning.
On the cosmetics front we tried and failed to remove the dent in the rear bumper (a job for a warmer day) and my neighbour tested some wax treatment on the rear 3/4 panel. We concluded something stronger is required!
So what's the plan? With the sensors being relatively inexpensive I'm going to get one of each and see what difference they make. I'm aware the actual problems could lie elsewhere, but this seems a reasonably inexpensive place to start. I'll also look at some options for the thermostat work-around. I'll not get a lot of time on this over the next few weeks, so it'll be a bit of a slow burn. I'll collect some parts, start to tackle the interior as and when I can and then do some fitting up in a few weeks time. Watch this space...
I'd originally had something else planned for my 365 pic today, but do to one thing or another, it didn't turn out. What can I say? It's been busy as hell around this place, and today we had moved a lot of trucks through the bays. I'd taken this at the last minute as sort of a poor ditch effort. All considered I thought I'd try something else today, being as the pic hadn't been what I'd wanted, and the day had sort of reminded me of one I'd written about a few years back.
An old blog post I'd written a few years back. Enjoy.
"The blaus"
originally written May 19th , 2006
Putterin' down York road after a robust day at work, and feeling a very euphoric sense of gratification with myself and my crew this week, I drifted off into a deep inner monologue conversation with myself. It has been one hell of a week, and we'd done it with a skeleton crew. But now, as I'm admiring the windmills on the bench, and the wheat sprouts in the fields, our accomplishments underplay the dead dogged tiredness that was gnawing at the bottom of my feet, and the nagging pain kicking me in the back.
That's when I started wondering to myself. Another useless thought to add to the list of useless thoughts and information, endlessly collecting and clogging up my mind.
By a show of hands who thinks which is worse. "The blau" tired’s or "This day just kicked my ass" tired’s? For the last few weeks they have been pulling dozens of refer trailers off the fleet, and bringing them to us to be de-identified and cleaned up for trade. Typically my job, you could say is really quit physical. I'm always on my feet, and on the move, watching, repairing, directing my crew, insuring the operation runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. It leaves me exhausted by days end, and seems to make for a viable excuse to do little more then ly around in front of the television set and drink cold lager at days end.
Then there are times when say they pull two dozen refer trailers off the fleet to be traded. The de-identifying process is no big thing, a little tedious, but requiring little physical rigger. A little know how, a little patients, a good eye, and the right home brew mix of some rather nasty chemicals...
De-ided and it's on to the cleaning. A bit more tedious, and by far less physical for me. Before I continue I have to stress that by no means am I down playing the work a professional truck driver endures. They are required to keep the keenest of attention of everything around them, in a vehicle that typically spans more then eighty feet in length, and has as many blind spots as visible spots. (For thou’s of you motorists that have never been behind the wheel of a big rig remember one thing. If you can't see the drivers face in his mirror, he can't see you) but this sucks, at least an over the road driver gets a change of scenery.
Sitting behind the wheel of a run down Freightliner Century for a better part of the day, playing the part of "Drop and hook donkey". The Blaus begin to set in.
After the trailer is De-ided I move it out of the detail bay, and run it around the building to one of the wash bays. Wash the trailer, and again, run it around the building to the wash out bay. Washed out, and it's over to the lot, where I drop it, and hook up another, and repeat the entire process, with very little physical activity detected all the while.
It's probable that the most physical parts of this would involve lowering the landing gear, releasing the king pin from the fifth wheel, and oh yes, flipping the switch that dumps the tractors air bags, and after a day of this, I feel exhausted. "The Blaus" .
How does one explain that to the wife, well enough to justify sweats, beer, and televison? "Baby bear, I'm just to tired to mow the lawn tonight, I had to spend the entire day, in a spacious, all though be it ugly, air conditioned environment, with a cold beverage at my beacon, and you know, sometimes the radio just didn't play a song I liked. My radio station changen' finger is spent".....
Well needless to say, the lawn is mowed, and I'm left to ponder...Which is worse. Blaus or Ass kickedness tired?

Picture the Holidays Day 6: Every Little Thing.
I don't think this is exactly what Tracey was looking for, and I will keep looking for that.
But here, anyway, are details of the project I am working on right now -- creating photo calendars for holiday gifts, using the Shutter Sisters calendar template. I got the printing and cutting figured out yesterday, and the pages look gorgeous. It turns out, however, that the full calendar is too thick for the CD case, and if I take the inside out of the CD case, it slides around. So I'm working on solving that problem now. I'm hoping that if I can iron out the kinks of this project this year, perhaps next year I can sell a few.
A small project consisting of setting up a shoot with random passersby and getting them to pull a face.
All participants where informed of the project and asked if they wanted to be a part. To see the rest of the project you can visit cambrils.tumblr.com/
Lighting is provided by a softbox umbrella camera right and a bare strobe for hair light.

Gas operated, rotating bolt with 4 lugs, To provide balancing action, secont gas piston is fitted in the front of the first one. When gun is fired, main gas piston moves rearwards, operating the bolt group, while balancing piston moves in opposite direction, being synchronised to the main one via simple rack and pinion system thus redusing recoil with 25%
This week I decided to participate in the EtsyMetal Project Runway Challenge.
"Make an "avant garde" piece of jewelry using a work of art as your inspiration. If you have access to a child and want to collaborate on something, go for it!"
I was going to use a child's artwork as an inspiration but then I stumbled upon "Small Picture of Firtrees" by Paul Klee. The color scheme and the assymetrical rectangles completely captivated me. So I made an embroidery piece using a similar color combination and set it in an oxidized copper frame. I made the cord to hang the pendant by tearing and stitching pieces of fabric. The final piece ended up reminding me more of a Modrian than Klee but I guess this can happen :-)
Bit of an obvious shot, but I've got a cold so I'm not feeling creative.
It's my old man's birthday so we had a Chinese banquet takeaway and it was fab.
Here is the presenation of the cake with the now obligatory rocket candle!
This is what I saw all day...
I'm ill. My wife is ill too. So we're at bed all day trying to get better. But I have to commit my photo of the day for the project. So, I decided to share with you the awesome view of my day... My bedtable...
Sorry but nothing better today.

最近很忙,都是在忙工作,去年的裁員讓現在留在公司的員工都忙得時間不夠用.
少了很多可以享受拍照後製及上福利課的時間,但我格外珍惜可以上來的這短暫片刻,我更沉靜的告訴我自已,拼就要拼出成績～要做就做最好的.
很感謝有上來砍面的朋友們,你的支持是我成長的動力之一！一起加油吧！
The clocks have gone forward and it is Tulip Sunday in the Wellington Botanic Gardens. I went to enjoy the spring with a few members of my Momentum Meetup group.

New project that I've been working on. If you can't tell he is inspired by Ultron from Avengers Age of Ultron, but the color scheme and other aesthetics come from one of my favorite comic book villains of all time, the Reverse Flash.
March 31 - Project: Thinking about putting this on canvas for a house porch display. Hoping it is fun to look at for hidden stars! Rather artsy, I guess!

This image is part of my "doors" project.
I decider to concentrate on very common and simple everyday use things, doors. But I look for interesting doors.
6/8/12
I swear food like fries, chicken tenders, and hotdogs taste way better at a ballpark. Even though I sat at the nose bleed seats I like the view of the whole field. I went to the game with most of my close guy friends and even though we lost I still had a great time.

Hoje é dia do amigo e nada melhor que representar esse dia com uma foto do melhor amigo do homem. Esse é o Leleco, que adora chupar chupeta. Pode?
Eu queria aqui citar um por um das pessoas que se tornaram especiais pra mim através dessa galeria. Mas eu seria injusta, porque com certeza esqueceria alguém. Mas quero desejar a todos vocês um FELIZ DIA DO AMIGO. Que o jardim da amizade possa florescer cada vez mais, com flores naturais, verdadeiras e coloridas.
Beijo
