General purpose tractor, crew of two, 1x manipulator arm.
Fixed! Much better with a tighter triangle on the tread shape. Still struggling with inside the tread and mechanism, it's really ugly in there, don't look too closely! But overall the vehicle has that chunky/boxy look I wanted to achieve. I guess irl the treads might be spayed out from the body more, to widen the load on the ice, but it just looks so much cooler having them tucked in tightly :-)
The white cockpit canopy thing was ok but I dunno, it made the vehicle feel a little too comfortable. Too many windows; reducing the viewport and really shrinking it down kinda gives it a squinting vibe, implies the environment is much more hostile. Like a tank feels: no windows = very hostile outside. It was hard to articulate at the start but having finished it I can see why it was bothering me.
Thanks everyone for the advice and comments on this one, much appreciated.

I seem to have been able to get Flame Skimmers and Cardinal Meadowhawks whenever I've gone out these past weeks, so I thought I'd do something with a purpose. How would you guys like the secret to getting dragonflies in flight? Okay, so with that in mind, I spent three hours testing some theories - one of which worked - but I came away with this one conclusion: dumb luck!
After two hours, I'd captured a Cardinal hovering and landing, and a Flame skimmer (and a Pied-billed Grebe for variety). I stood in my favorite swamp cove, camera in one hand and answering a call from my brother with the other (*&!^*%* earbud wouldn't answer). He's fine, btw. Just as he was telling me about his latest travels and shots of parades or some such, a large dragonfly came by at 100 mph, wheeled, hovered, and took off only to return. I clicked off three shots from the camera which I was holding by the strap at my waist, and this is the result. I will draw a diagram when I learn how to draw.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Rogers Centre (originally SkyDome) is a multi-purpose retractable roof stadium in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, situated just southwest of the CN Tower near the northern shore of Lake Ontario. Opened in 1989 on the former Railway Lands, it is home to the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB). Previously, the stadium was also home to the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL) played an annual game at the stadium as part of the Bills Toronto Series from 2008 to 2013. While it is primarily a sports venue, it also hosts other large events such as conventions, trade fairs, concerts, travelling carnivals, circuses and monster truck shows.
The stadium was renamed "Rogers Centre" following the 2005 purchase of the stadium by Rogers Communications, which also owns the Toronto Blue Jays. The venue is noted for being the first stadium to have a fully retractable motorized roof, as well as for the 348-room hotel attached to it with 70 rooms overlooking the field. It is also the last North American major-league stadium built to accommodate both football and baseball. The stadium served as the site of both the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2015 Pan American Games (renamed the Pan-Am Dome or Pan-Am Ceremonies Venue due to sponsorship regulations).
The CN Tower is a 553.3 m-high (1,815.3 ft) concrete communications and observation tower located in the downtown core of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Built on the former Railway Lands, it was completed in 1976. Its name "CN" originally referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower. Following the railway's decision to divest non-core freight railway assets prior to the company's privatization in 1995, it transferred the tower to the Canada Lands Company, a federal Crown corporation responsible for real estate development.
The CN Tower held the record for the world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years until 2007 when it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa, and was the world's tallest tower until 2009 when it was surpassed by the Canton Tower. It is now the ninth tallest free-standing structure in the world and remains the tallest free-standing structure on land in the Western Hemisphere. In 1995, the CN Tower was declared one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It also belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers.
It is a signature icon of Toronto's skyline and attracts more than two million international visitors annually.
Engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, on Dec. 5 deliberately pushed the world’s largest rocket fuel tank beyond its design limits to really understand its breaking point. The test version of the Space Launch System rocket’s liquid hydrogen tank withstood more than 260% of expected flight loads over five hours before engineers detected a buckling point, which then ruptured. Engineers concluded the test at approximately 11 p.m.
The test version of the tank aced earlier tests, withstanding forces expected at engine thrust levels planned for Artemis lunar missions, showing no signs of cracks, buckling or breaking. The test on Dec. 5 -- conducted using a combination of gaseous nitrogen for pressurization and hydraulics for loads -- pushed the tank to the limits by exposing it to higher forces that caused it to break as engineers predicted.

Newcastle under Lyme that is, where Crosville's territory encroached on that of PMT. The Chester based firm served several of the villages and towns on the Western side of the Stoke / Newcastle conurbation and in the 1970s, Seddon's ill starred RU variants could regularly be seen working these services.

Re-purposed after a desperate fight to escape from a small harsh moon known to very few as New Home, Divulgence is the definition of a one-of-a-kind ship.
Though initially quite behind the times, she has received many upgrades since her so called tour of duty, but perhaps the most noticeable are her red stripes, given her by Ash, which honor those lost on New Home.
Elgin Bridge is believed to have existed at its current location as an unnamed footbridge as early as 1819, the year Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles (founder of Singapore) landed on Singapore. It was the only bridge across the Singapore River, linking the Chinese community on the southern side to the Indian merchants of High Street on the northern side.

The SOO's geep fleet was truly general purpose. They could be found just about anywhere doing anything. One could normally be found at each of the original division points on the line from Shoreham to Soo Yard in the later 70's into the 80's. They were dependable good pullers and quick to load so the made fine yard goats and when it came time to rotate a unit out they could earn there keep pulling freight to or from the place they were assigned unlike the SOO non MU SW fleet. 2408 rests in the rain at Rhinelander near the roundhouse between assignments on September 17, 1987. In less than a month this would be WC property and before long the venerable geep would be headed for other places to work.

BIBLICAL CONTEXT: Psalm 33:10-15 NIV
(from biblegateway.com)
10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.

5 MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
I face a conundrum in my life as my bucket list continues to grow even as my days remaining on this planet decrease. This summer I had a goal of doing more photography of birds in flight. My number one target is to get a pheasant taking off and getting photos of it flying through the air but my efforts so far have produced a choice of blurred photos, unflattering photos of pheasant hind ends or nice photos of landscapes where the pheasant recently flew over.
But little by little, I am making some progress. My wife says I have a strong fascination with kingfishers and she is probably right. So far this summer I have singular photos of kingfishers sitting on a tree with a minnow hanging out of their mouth, blasting into the water and coming up with great force.
However, to capture a kingfisher from a perch on a tree through his dive and flight back to the perch with his catch in consecutive shots has not matched my skill set. This photo was in a series of shots of a kingfisher on his way down to the water where he had spotted a minnow swimming near the surface.
I was pleased with the colors and clarity and impressed by the look of the sole purpose on his bird face.

The purpose in capturing this image at a dark sky site (Bortle 4) is to compare it with an image captured in my back yard (Bortle 7). The backyard image had a circular gradient that I just could not remove, and this limited how it could be stretched. This image had a slight linear gradient that was easily removed, and the stretch outcome is much nicer.
The image appears to have a gradient that runs from dark in the upper left corner to light in the lower right corner. This object is located in Barnard's loop, so I believe that the lightness in the lower left is actually nebulosity. Next step is to combine with color data, which could confirm that background nebulosity is in the lower left corner.

Wernberg convent perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking a bend in the Drau River. The building run by the Sisters of the Precious Blood is actually in part a Renaissance castle dating back to the early 13th century. Today it houses a nunnery, education centre and guesthouse with its own farm and a well-stocked shop selling its produce. This was where we had dinner before going to Villach for the night.

Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ingredients
Makes 24
* 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
* 1/2 cup cocoa powder
* 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
* 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1 tablespoon milk
* 2 to 2 1/2 pints strawberry ice cream, slightly softened
Directions
1. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, vanilla, and sugar. Add eggs and milk, and mix until combined. Add reserved flour mixture, and mix on low speed until incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl with a spatula at least once. Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a flat disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface; use an offset spatula to unstick the dough every few turns of the rolling pin. Roll dough to an 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough using a variety of heart-shaped cookie cutters from 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter, making sure there is a top and bottom cookie for each sandwich. Place hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet; chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator; use a fork to prick holes all over the surface of the cookies. Bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Using half the cookies, spoon softened strawberry ice cream about 1/2 inch thick on each underside. Place matching cookie on top of ice cream, top-side facing out. Transfer immediately to freezer to harden; repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve directly from the freezer. Sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for 3 to 4 days.

I rarely leave my home state of Oregon for photographic purposes by I find Washington's Mt. Rainier National Park to be irresistible. I captured this image last July. I shot at sunset the night before and the morning seen here. I was absolutely assaulted by mosquitos, but the morning clouds and the amazing lupine filled meadows made it all worth while. I captured this image with my 4x5 camera, allowing me to tilt my plane of focus, thereby getting exceptionally sharp detail across the image, with a single exposure. For more information about this image and the rest of my fine art portfolio, please visit my website,http://www.mikeputnamphoto.com/
Here's some old and new things I want to say for selfish marketing purposes:

During the German Occupation of Jersey in the Second World War, three huge observation towers were built as part of Hitlers Atlantic Wall defences, Their purpose was to direct artillery fire against targets out to sea. The wall defences, comprising 15,000 structures stretched from Norway to the Loire in France. Today one of these towers , La Corbiere Radio Tower, is available as holiday accommodation.
