Autumn/Winter 2012
A Bag of Queens is part of a series of shows featuring the character Sparkplug Callaghan, a musical odyssey that races along with Little John’s trademark comic storytelling style, exploring themes of ‘random acts of kindness’, responsibility, loneliness, greed and creative expression, in a gentle and fun way.
A favour for a friend leads Sparkplug to an old grocery and hardware shop at a country crossroads. Inside he discovers a lost treasure of consumer items that now assume a very different meaning and value. When he visits the elderly shopkeeper in a retirement home he is cast off in an adventure to a city that’s tearing itself apart for want of more ‘stuff.
The show is about human relationships and it gives children an appreciation and connection with the lives of older people as well as offering a view of being “ a fish out of water” and what it is like to be “different” in a new community.
Suitable for 7+
Admission Free

It's all wired and piped and ready to go! Can you explain everything you see in this picture? Have we left anything out? FYI, that's a random high voltage probe someone's left on top there behind the left trigger head. Just ignore it.

Spring Point Ledge Light
Spring Point Ledge Light is a sparkplug lighthouse in South Portland, Maine that marks a dangerous obstruction on the west side of the main shipping channel into Portland Harbor. It is now adjacent to the campus of Southern Maine Community College.
History
The lighthouse was constructed in 1897 by the government after seven steamship companies stated that many of their vessels ran aground on Spring Point Ledge. Congress initially allocated $20,000 to its construction, although the total cost of the tower ended up being $45,000 due to problems with storms and poor quality cement. The lighthouse featured a fog bell that sounded twice every 12 seconds, and a lantern fitted with a fifth order Fresnel lens first lit by Keeper William A. Lane on May 24, 1897.
Improvements were made to the lighthouse throughout the 20th century. It was electrified in 1934, and in 1951, a 900-foot breakwater made from 50,000 short tons (45,000 t) of granite was constructed in order to connect the lighthouse to the mainland. The lighthouse was originally owned and operated by the United States Coast Guard. However, on April 28, 1998, the Maine Lights Selection Committee approved a transfer of ownership of the tower to the Spring Point Ledge Light Trust, with the USCG retaining only the light and fog signal. On May 22, 1999, Spring Point Ledge Light was opened to the public for the first time in its history. It is a popular spot on any summer day for families to picnic and boat-watch on the breakwater or for fisherman to spend an afternoon catching fish. Adjacent to the lighthouse, visitors may also tour the old Fort Preble, the Southern Maine Community College Campus, and visit a small gift shop.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Spring Point Ledge Light Station on January 21, 1988, reference number 87002279.

This was my entry in the Gizmodo Australia photo challenge for "Engines". I was struggling to find inspiration, as my car engine is pretty dull. My lawnmower engine is pretty old and worn, so I thought I'd take a few pics of the spark plug and was surprised how it turned out.
Orient Point (The Coffee Pot) Light is a sparkplug lighthouse in active use as an aid to navigation off Orient Point, New York. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. In June 2011, the General Services Administration made the Orient Point Light available at no cost to public organizations willing to preserve them. It can be found off Orient Point at the end of Oyster Point Reef on the western side of Plum Gut. It throws a flashing a white light every five seconds; its tower is 24 feet tall, 21 feet wide at base, 18 feet wide at top, brick lined, of cast iron plate construction and painted brown on top and white on bottom. At the top of the tower (below the lantern) is a watch deck; the foundation is a concrete-filled cast iron caisson 32 feet tall with a 25 foot diameter. 1899: Constructed; First Keeper, Ole N. A. Anderson; 1954: Automated; 1970: Coast Guard announced that the light will be extinguished and demolished; 1973, Work began to restore the light; 1978: Light was upgraded to compensate for the extinguishing of the Plum Island light; 1999: The light celebrated its 100th birthday.
Setting the 25tho gap as I was always told how. B&H pack 25 thou! Good job I have
a load of old things in my old skool collection 😀
This "sparkplug" or "wedding cake" type lighthouse was built in 1890 and lies in the channel between the U.S. and Campobello Island Canada. The light consists of a cylindrical iron caisson 33 feet in diameter with a 5 level lighthouse on top. The caisson was attached to the channel floor by driving 185 spruce pilings into the sea bed, some to a depth of 69 feet, and then filling the caisson with concrete. The keeper's were housed in the 2 lowest floors with the 5th order Fresnel lens at the top. The lighthouse was automated and destaffed in 1939. A new canopy, which the birds enjoy, and new windows were added in 1992. The U.S. Coast Guard recently tried to sell the lighthouse to any non-profit organization willing to maintain it, but this was unsuccessful and the lighthouse was sold to a private owner in 2007.
The photo was taken from the nearest road, about a half mile from the lighthouse.

I don't quite remember where I saw this sign-it was kind of tucked away behind a building somewhere around La Salle, I think. I do think it's a neat find-I mean there's a lot of boating on Lake Michigan. I don't think that Masters Marine is still in business, however.
The kids love to goof around on the old parts tractor. It's under a big oak tree in the backyard and is the perfect refuge during a flash rain storm or when it's to hot out :)
Robert Reynolds awards Eddie Davis with the Sparkplug for his humorous speech about having three moms, moderating great impromptu questions as table topics master, and for his great mentoring tip about how go give a great introduction Saturday, Dec. 27, 2014.
I found this old spark plug at low tide on the shores of Diggby Island in Northern British Columbia. I am guessing it was for the engine of a boat being that there were no cars up there in the early years.
