Got a brief run in explore getting to #474

(Bachmann) Double Fairlie 'Livingston Thompson' works through Tanyglaslyn with a rake of empty slate wagons.

I've messed around with various methods of measuring fork rake. I'm really liking this one. It seems accurate and repeatable. The pics don't show it but I tried it on two different forks, and I measured them with the rake going to my right (as shown) as well as to my left. All the measurements were very close.

The fork shown was designed to have 66mm of rake, but it's 67.5. The other fork was supposed to be 45, but it's 43.

I'm disappointed that the errors are in opposite directions, because it means that I can't blame the calibration of my jig... What can I blame?

This is a 6 inch to 1 mile OS map of the area from the 1880s. I've outlined in orange where there was activity from Lead mining along the whole length of the lead vein. Now the only activity is underground Fluorspar mining at Milldam Mine along the length of the Hucklow vein all the way to Eyam.

Morning twilight, looking along the limestone pavement at the one tree at Malham Rakes. Not any easy pavement to walk on, specially with a little frost on top!

Thanks for viewing :-)

Sunday has long been a day for family and I hope that you are as blessed as I am.

This image was from a School Student Council event this past fall that went around and raked leaves for homes in the neighborhood - focusing on elderly that are unable to do so.

Andy, at the district science fair yesterday, had his project - a study on the impact of shape on the efficiency of windmill blades - selected to participate in the state science fair competition.

Dan, who a few days ago had $45 to his name, remarked in the car upon picking him up that he only had $15 of his money left. I asked what he spent his money on and he replied that he had donated it to St. Baldricks - a foundation for the cure and support of children with cancer.

Allison, in the foreground of this image, does those little, unnoticed things every day that make so many other things possible.

It is Sunday, and like yesterday was and tomorrow will be, I am a very blessed man. I hope that you are blessed as well. Happy Sunday.
