A panel that was supposed to include Andy Dick and Bob Odenkirk ended up with Mo Collins, Maria Menounos and the director of Harold and Kumar. Kinda disappointing.
Wednesday afternoon a 6-foot replacement “I” beam that supports the bridge deck arrives ready to be crafted to fit into place.
So after the first few comments on the portrait I originally uploaded as my Day 43, I decided to switch to this portrait. I was unsure from the start, but the comment from Sashala convinced me...the hair on the left was too distracting. :D

Not the best photo ever but an interesting story... A stranded Via 6429 sits in Ottawa. The cold weather and high electric heating demands of the 6 car Renaissance consist was too much for the F40ph's hep generator to handle causing it to fail before it could make its trip from Ottawa to Quebec city as Via 28 on January 20th. As a result the passengers were "bustituted" to Montreal to meet the replacement train that was hastily put together in Montreal. Via 6404 with 3 hep-2 coaches continued the journey to Quebec city. After swapping locomotives with Via 26 in Quebec city (as is standard procedure) Via 6439 led Via 33 from Quebec city to Ottawa. where they sit side by side in the photo. The failed service and its replacement. (note Via employees about to enter the rear door on the locomotive to try and fix the hep gen.) (also the failed 6429 and its train deadheaded back to the MMC for proper servicing later that day)
The Replacements - joined by Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day - rocked the final day of the Forecastle Music Festival in Louisville, Ky.
Replacement of the overhead wiring and structures as part of the High Capacity Trains Project which is running in parallel to level crossing removal works on the Pakenham/Cranbourne line corridor.
The original lattice structures date back to the 1500V DC electrification of the line which was completed to Oakleigh in March 1922 and Dandenong in December of the same year. Although Dandenong was the limit of electrification most trains terminated at Oakleigh originally as it remained the limit of suburban expansion until the post-war years. As such the station had three platforms and a substantial yard was once located here.
With most trains now passing through the sidings gradually became redundant with the last of these removed as part of the current works and the station reduced to two platforms. The ageing overhead structures were placed at spacings up to 100 yards (91 metres) with the new ones much closer at around 60 metres on straight track.
November skies at various angles. The content aware fill tool does a great job of taking out stray trees, etc.
I like this headsculpt. It makes an interesting change from the usual grizzled veterans and movie idol sculpts that get produced in 1/6. It's perfect for a kid that's just been drafted.
The buttress where the current embankment joins the trestle. This is also set on four cement filled tube pilings.

With all of the deck units now connected to the central pylon, at the time of this photograph, this was the longest free standing cantilever on the world.
The camera on the left is an Olympus C4000...the first digicam I ever owned, purchased back in 2004. After I moved on into DSLR's, my wife used the camera for several years.
As you can see by the lens, it's attempt at becoming a LensBaby was less than successful! The mechanism self destructed so a new cam for the spouse was in order.
I chose the Canon G11 after some research as I had not really kept up with the P&S market. This G11 is a sweet little camera and of course it's light years ahead in technology to the C4000.
The G11 actually cost less than the C4000 did in 2004.

Mom finally made me a new blanket to replace the old one, which was threatening to finally tear into two pieces from all of my dragging it around everywhere.
This is my new gear that replaces the gear I lost. Both the camera and lens are upgrades from what's gone so in that respect I did well. The camera feels quite different, button wise and smells like a new car. The view finder seems amazingly clear and crisp so I think there has been a few changes there, not that the old one was particularly unclear. The video feature this new version has is a bit fiddly focus wise but then I doubt I'll use that much. I'm not so keen on the feel of the new selector button as it's not so sensitive but that will probably be a good thing once I get used to it as before the focus selector would jump around as my nose sometimes pressed against this selector switch (I use my left eye in the viewfinder). That shouldn't happen now.
one little thing they have done at long last is to include a hot shoe protector with this camera. I had to buy one as an optional extra on the D300 and the cheapest I could get it was £5 on e-bay. Some places wanted £8 for that silly piece of plastic.
Anyway, enough talking about it. I need to find a gap in the weather and use it.
Metro's major track replacement work continues. A ballast train with the roadrailer tractor in the middle of the formation occupies the Out line at Cullercoats.
On rail replacement between Chelmsford and Romford. The driver insisted on getting out of the coach and giving me an earful before I took the photo - hardly a good representative of the company. (Just say "I don't want to be in the photo" - you don't have to verbally abuse the photographer)
flatted out on the way to work. no issues getting off of the road safely in AM rush hour traffic. Tow truck never showed up. After 2 hours of holding the bike up, I called Biker Bill and he came with his trailer.
Check out the nubs. Looking forward to knocking them off ASAP. Need to break it in before pushing too hard...
I spotted this little lady in the thrift store a couple of weeks ago, and bought her for that dress. I thought I might be able to modify it to look a little more Elizabethan if not medieval. After a closer look at the skirt design, I realized that it would be more trouble to modify than it's worth. But then I realized that the new blonde lady could easily be transformed into a more suitable Queen Araxie than the one I've currently got. I have never managed to get Araxie's eye repaint to look right, but this doll's eye color could easily be painted over with a light gray, and unlike the original Araxie head, there aren't thick layers of modern-looking "glam" makeup that have to be wiped away (along with the original eye paint), so it would be a much easier makeover. The burgundy lips won't be a problem to change. I can either paint over them with a paler pink color like I did for Helena (who also started out with lips this dark), or even wipe the original paint off and paint the lips back on with a softer shade of rose. Lips are much easier to recreate from scratch than eyes. So I may try a makeover on her this weekend and see if she comes closer to my vision of Araxie. Hopefully Kelson will be pleased with his wife's new look.
