Replacing the tail light on my 2012 Mazda 3. For someone with no demonstrable mechanical skills, it was a modest achievement... particularly since the replacement part didn't come with instructions. Finding my way into the backside of the trunk was quite an adventure (and I cracked one of the plastic tacks before figuring out how they worked).
For details on what tools and products I used and what I did in this step and all the other steps in this tutorial, checkout the entire blog entry.
Currently we have craftspeople in the house who replace a window in the apartment next door. As they used drills and hammers Jossy was very scared about the noise and had suddenly disappeared. When I passed the sleeping room after returning from my "lunch break" downstairs I saw her sleeping peacefully on my bed and under my duvet. ;-)

Hat jemand die Katze gesehen?
Momentan haben wir Handwerker im Haus, die in der Nachbarwohnung ein Fenster tauschen. Als sie mit Bohrer und Hammer zu Werke gingen, war Jossy wegen der Geräusche ziemlich verängstigt und war plötzlich verschwunden. Als ich nach meiner "Mittagspause" im Untergeschoß am Schlafzimmer vorbei kam, lag sie friedlich schlafen auf meinem Bett, unter meiner Bettdecke. ;-)
The Fokker D.VII is also a german plane that was used during World War I. Construction started during 1918 and it was to replace the Albatros D.Va. Near the end of the war there were about 700 examples of the D.VII active. The allies were very interested in this aircraft and they were all confiscated.
The first aircraft that was registered on the Belgian Civil Aircraft Register was a Fokker D.VII (O-BEBE).
Even Jean Stampe used the Fokker D.VII. He had three D.VII's that were used for pilot-training before he started the construction of his own planes.
Our example was constructed by Rousseau Aviation in France for use in the movie 'The Blue Max'. It was registered in France as F-BNDF. After the fiming was finished, it was sold in Ireland and registered as EI-APV.
There it got damaged during a landing accident and was sold in the USA.
When in 2000 it returned to Europe, it was still in unairworthy condition. So we decided to give it a thorough restoration and repaint it in a belgian coloursscheme.
This restoration is now nearly finished and we hope to see it in the air again soon.
The aircraft is fitted with a 205hp Gipsy Queen.
The Stampe & Vertongen Museum, which was inaugurated on 26 May 2001, pays tribute to the Antwerp aviation pioneers Jean Stampe (1889-1978) and Maurice Vertongen. Together, they started a flying school at the “airport” of Deurne.
Orange Avenue is a six-lane glorified offramp that replaced much of the Central Avenue District.
Central Avenue was once the heart of Tampa's black community. Starting at the northeast corner of Downtown Tampa, the district stretched north to around Kay Street. It was lined with restaurants, hotels, and even theaters frequented by black celebrities on the Florida circuit. Another part of the district, The Scrub, was a shantytown of sorts, filled with dirt roads and shacks.
Beginning in the 1950s, various civic projects were initiated. The northern parts of the district were cleared in preparation of Interstate 4 (later 75, followed by 275). Much of Central Avenue itself was destroyed in favor of Orange Avenue, a wide six-line glorified onramp/offramp, stretching four or five blocks from the Interstate to Cass Street. Many of the district's residents were relocated to the then-new black subdivision of College Hill, located a few miles away along 22nd Street. The rest of the residents were relocated to the massive Central Park Village housing project, located on the eastern side of the Central Avenue District. Other various urban renewal schemes destroyed almost every piece of the historic district except for a few churches. By the time of the 1967 Tampa Race Riot, Central Avenue was dead.
Today, there really isn't much that acknowledges this part of town. There's a mural on the side of the Kid Mason Community Center, the Longshoremen's Union Hall, a few scattered churches, and a historical marker. There's also Perry Harvey Park, named after a local black politician. Even the Central Park Village projects have been demolished, eventually to be replaced by dubious mixed-income buildings.

This ramp in front of the Post Office was new last fall. When I arrived to get the mail this morning they were tearing it out again. I took some pictures and talked to one of the workmen. He said that regulations say that you must have a flat section every 20' and since this one was made as a continuous slope it had to be redone.

Guess what, this car wash + jet wash + air/vac complex was all out of service. Seems to be a recurring issue with this Shell. Very sloppy all around.
National Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C. replaced in spring of 2011
On February 19, 2011 the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse in front of the White House was blown over by a large wind gust. The 42-foot Colorado blue spruce had served as the National Christmas Tree on the ellipse for more than 32 years, and was lit by six presidents in that time.
The National Park Service replaced the tree one month later on March 19th 2011.
The National Christmas Tree is lit in front of the White House in the area known as The Ellipse.

Castello Ursino is a castle in Catania, Sicily, southern Italy. Built circa from 1239 to 1250, it belonged to Emperor Frederick II, King of Sicily, and was considered impregnable at the time. In 1295, during the Sicilian Vespers, the Parliament which declared deposed James II of Aragon as King of Sicily, replacing him with Frederick III, was held here. The following year it was captured by Robert of Anjou but was later again in Aragonese hands.
King Frederick III resided in the castle, as well as his successors Peter II, Louis, Frederick IV and Mary. Here the latter was kidnapped by William Raymond Moncada to avoid her marriage with Gian Galeazzo Visconti (1392). King Martin I held also his court in the castle.
After the move of the capital away from Catania and the appearance of powder weapons, the castle lost its military role and was used as a prison. It is one of the few buildings in Catania to have survived the earthquake of 1693. The castle has a rectangular plan, with a large circular tower at each corner and an open-air inner courtyard.
When the castle was first built, it was on a cliff looking out to sea, however as the result of volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes, it is now a kilometre inland. The former moat too in the 17th century was filled with lava from an eruption by Mount Etna. Its present location, surrounded by streets and shops in a typical Catania piazza, may strike some visitors as unusual.
Today the castle houses the Catania Civico Museum and a gallery of local art. On display in the museum are artifacts and artwork from the castle as well as the greater geographical area. These items date from the Classical era onward, representing the diverse influences throughout Sicilian history.

The bottom of the emergency exit was replaced in 1999 when the bus was converted to an exhibition unit but as the panel was not primed and undecorated on the inside it has become rotten and in need of replacing.
We have now started cutting out the rusty parts and replacing door and bear metaling and reshaping with filler and which the door was covered in as well as 7 previous liveries!

St Mary's Church, rebuilt by Act of Parliament in the 1790s and replacing an even larger medieval building, is Banbury's only grade I listed building and its most conspicuous landmark. It was the largest parish church built in England in the 18th century, and remains among the top 1% in terms of size. It has been identified as a 'major parish church' by the Church Buildings Council.
The main body of the church was built in 1790-97 to a design by S.P. Cockerell, the tower and portico being finally completed in 1822. The interior was remodelled in the 1860s and
70s by Arthur Blomfield, with stained glass windows and wallpaintings by Heaton, Butler and Bayne, including major artwork by the highly talented pre-Raphaelite artist Alfred Hassam (1842-69).
Built to seat 2,500 worshippers, the church comprises a 90 ft (27.5m) square auditorium, originally galleried on all four sides, a substantial forebuilding that embraces the tower and contains a circular vestibule and the principal staircases, and a small chancel with attached vestries. It was transformed internally in 1874 when the chancel was raised to the full height of the church, an apse was introduced within it and it was integrated with the rest of the church by the addition of giant ionic pilasters replicating the columns that support the central saucer dome. The functional chancel was extended out into the main body of the church, originally defined by low walls (cancelli) modelled on those in San Clemente in Rome. Like the cancelli, the associated decorative scheme was entirely Early Christian in inspiration, and is dominated by a faux-mosaic in the apse of the twelve apostles, surmounted by Christ in Majestyin the semi-dome above.
The Chancel Paintings
Above the High Altar - in the dome of the apse, is depicted the Vision of the Throne of God from Revelation chapter 4; the rainbow, the four and twenty elders, the four living creatures, and the seven lamps symbolic of the Holy Spirit.
Behind the High Altar are the figures of the Twelve Apostles with appropriate symbols of their calling or martyrdom. From left to right they are 1) St James the Less, 2) St James the Great, 3) St Jude, 4) St Simon, 5) St Peter, 6) St Philip, 7) St John, 8) St Matthias, 9) St Bartholomew, 10) St Thomas, 11) St Andrew, 12) St Matthew.
The Windows
The stained glass is also of Blomfield's time, the most striking windows being those at the eastern end of the nave above the galleries - by an unknown artist. The upper windows in the gallery represent scenes from the life of Jesus 30 in all, while the lower windows illustrate 10 of his parables.
The organ was built by Byfield, Wilcox and Knight in 1765 for the old church. Since then it has been heavily modified several times.
In 2002 the chancel was extended forward to create a stage, facilities for those with disabilities were added, emergency lighting and toilets were installed and the church was redecorated.

Replacing my 2003 Mini Cooper S. The beige leather was a big factor -- for 2003 I had to settle for all black.
UPS damaged the box that was delivered to us.
Ultimately, this unit was replaced with Advance RMA, where they send you the replacement before you send the original back. But I apparently sent the replacement back in the original box, the serial numbers didn't match, and so I was charged for a 2nd power supply. UPS sent it back, left it in the rain, box all the way soaked through. They just picked it up today (7/15), so this crap has been going on for almost two months now. I'm thinking UPS is going to pay me for my power supply. I don't want a replacement, I just want my $110 back. I don't NEED two power supplies!
UPS delivery, cardboard box, cinder blocks, damaged package.

"Mmm, in 1906, the Fire gutted the inside, the roof and the original windows, but the walls are still the original 1854 structure.. The sign (replaced, of course, it's wood...) below the clock still has the same saying (before 1906, there was a brothel across California Street) "Son, observe the time and fly from evil..."

Old Saint Mary's Cathedral & Chinese Mission
A Missionary Community of Faith Served by the Paulist Fathers Since 1894
Old St. Mary's Cathedral: Old St. Mary's is one of the most prominent buildings in the Chinatown area. The cathedral was built by Chinese laborers in 1854 using brick that was shipped around Cape Horn and granite from China. Though the original was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, the cathedral was rebuilt in 1909. 660 California St. www.sfgate.com/neighborhoods/sf/chinatown/

The Site of Old St. Mary's
Cornerstone 1853
Dedicated 1854
The first building erected as a cathedral in California, Old St. Mary's served the archdiocese of San Francisco in that capacity from 1854 to 1891. Once the city's most prominent building, much of its stone work was quarried and cut in China and its brick brought "around the Horn" in sailing ships. California Registered Historical Landmark No.810. Plaque placed by the California State Park and Commission in cooperation with the Paulist Fathers and the Grand Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West, May 7, 1966.
Old St. Mary's Church was established by Father Henry Ignatius Stark as a mission. The purpose was to teach the Chinese community about the Catholic faith. It was built by Chinese laborers in 1854 with brick brought around Cape Horn and granite cut in China. It was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and rebuilt in 1909. Across from this Catholic landmark is St. Mary's Square, where a 12-foot statue of Sun Yat Sen, founder of the Chinese Republic (1911-1913), is located. www.sanfranciscochinatown.com/attractions/oldstmary.html

The P-40 was developed as an attempt to modernize the P-36 fighter. The P-36's radial engine was replaced with a more powerful and streamlined liquid-cooled Allison V-12, allowing for a top speed of 345 mph. The allowed the US to rapidly develop a modern fighter which was adequate, but never achieved greatness.
The P-40 was the US's primary fighter in 1942 (it had also seen extensive use by the famed "Flying Tiger" squadrons in China in 1941). Against Japanese fighters like the Zero, the P-40's superior armor and diving speed allowed it to be successful in diving, slashing attacks. Attempting to dogfight the much more maneuverable opponents was a very Bad Idea.
The P-40 was always hampered by its engine, which lost power above 15,000 feet. A turbocharged version of the V1710 would have improved performance, but these were committed to the P-38 Lightning. As a result, P-40s were shifted to the role of fighter-bomber as soon as more advanced fighters became available.

The New Century - The 1900's
"Alfred Van Santvoord, one of the founders of the Day Line, died in 1901, and was replaced by Eben Erskine Olcott, Van Santvoord's son-in-law. Before marrying Van Santvoord's daughter, Olcott was a mining engineer in Venezuela, the western US, Mexico and many parts of South America. Olcott was an extremely energetic man and was very popular with the Day Line employees. Olcott built the Day Line into something that far was beyond the wildest dreams of Van Santvoord.
Olcott felt it was time to build another steamboat. In 1899, the New York and Albany carried more than 230,000 passengers. The new steamer would be considerably larger than the New York and would be the finest day passenger vessel in the country. The new steamboat, the Hendrick Hudson was put into service in 1906 at a cost almost a million dollars. She had an advertized length of over 400 feet and was licensed to carry 5,500 passengers.
Hendrick Hudson
Steamer Hendrick Hudson
A new steamboat for a new century, she began carrying passengers in 1906. The company claimed the boat cost a million dollars and was 400 feet in length. Both claims were minor exaggerations. She was licensed to carry 5,500 passengers.
Art was commissioned for interior decoration. Murals depicting Henry Hudson's Halve Maene, Washington Irving's home, the senate house at Kingston, and the capital at Albany were part of the interior displays.
Robert Fulton
Steamer Robert Fulton
Introduced in 1909 in time for the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, she replaced the New York which had burned at Newburg. Samuel Ward Stanton, the famous marine artist, completed five murals showing the development of steam navigation on the Hudson River for interior decoration.
There was some controversy about the name. Although Hudson had explored the river on a Dutch ship in the employ of the Dutch East India Company, he was an Englishman and his proper name was Henry. Hendrick is the Dutch interpretation of the name Henry, and purists still refer to the steamer as the Henry Hudson."

Sundance is a somewhat common garden variety. I like this backlit photo. The freeze of January 2010 killed this one and I have not replaced it.
Nietzsche once said "We have replaced God with network cable, and now no amount of it will connect our desktops to our servers...metaphorically speaking, of course. I mean, obviously, if you have sufficient cable to reach from the desktop to the server, accounting for the length of the walls and conduits it must travel through, plus a bit more in case you need to move your desk around...well, that should do it, yes?" Of course, no one at the time had any idea what he was talking about, as there was, in the real sense, no such thing as network cable, and wouldn't be for another eighty years or so. But clearly he was a man with deeply rooted issues, whose preoccupation with network cable eventually drove him mad (he spent the final decade of his life in an institution for the unpublishably insane), and formed the basis of modern philosophy (at least, the branch pertaining to cable and the optimal length of cabling systems).
So, how much network cable is enough? It's a tough question, but most of the time, the answer is "8 kerjillion miles."
Justice and Charity. Window in memory of Francis Stacker Dutton and his wife Caroline, created by James Powell & Sons, London, installed 1901 and replaced earlier 1855 window, ‘Faith, Hope & Charity’, by Edward Brooks dedicated to Caroline Dutton.
“The design on the glass represents two figures Justice and Charity, the former holding a sword and balance, and the other - a female - instructing three children. Around. the border are scrolls alternately of Justice and Caritas. Mrs. Dutton was a daughter of Mr. McDermott, and the two families have been connected with the church since it was opened.” [Register 11 Mar 1901]
“ new window, which has been erected to perpetuate the memory of the late Mr. and Mrs. Dutton, who were well known among the early residents of this State, and were members of that church. The service was conducted by the dean, assisted by the curate (Rev. H. P. Gocher). The window is of stained glass, and the colors are well blended, the whole presenting an artistic appearance. It replaced a memorial window erected 46 years ago to the memory of the late Mrs. Dutton. The inscription on the new window states that it has been erected to the memory of Francis Stacke and Caroline Dutton, by their children, F. Dutton, Fred. Dutton, and Mrs. Mitchell.’" [Advertiser 11 Mar 1901]
A description of the previous window
“In Memoriam. — A few of the personal friends of the late Mrs. F. S. Dutton, desirous of perpetuating the memory of one whom they so much esteemed, and whose loss they so much deplore, have entered into a subscription for the purpose of placing a stained glass window in Christchurch, at the eastern end, immediately over the vestry. The window has been designed and executed by Mr. E. Brooks, of Poole-street, North Adelaide, and was fixed in its place during last week. It is in the Norman style, and consists of three geometrical forms. The centre contains a decorated monument of three sides, with representations of Faith, Hope, and Charity at the several angles. Beneath these is inscribed an appropriate text of scripture. The principal tablet of the tomb contains the monumental inscription, 'In memory of Caroline, the beloved wife of Francis S. Dutton. Died June 1, 1855'. This central portion of the window is executed in stained glass, of a rich gold colour, with frosted glass for the background, and is surrounded by a border of deep blue. Above, on the outer compartment, are two cherubs, executed in the same style. The upper and lower forms of the window consist of ruby coloured rosettes let into a white enamel ground, encircled by a double border of blue and gold. The outermost border is also of blue and gold, of a diamond pattern, with an inner edge of ruby. The corners of the window consist of ornate devices in green and ruby. Beneath the central representation, the following lines are inscribed in letters of gold, on a sable ground: —
'She, gentle one, is gone in whom we mourn
(From earthly scenes and ties, thus early torn;
A true friend — daughter — mother — wife);
Yet would we not repine. Her death was life'.” [Register 14 Aug 1855]
