Here is one of my sparkplug paintings. This is an image that I have always returned to in my art. I did it for a show in Ottawa. I have kept the screen and Im sure I will always do more

Pictures of the West Bank Light from on board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas at the beginning of our week-long cruise. The West Bank Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1901 and is in the Lower New York Bay. It serves as the front range light with the Staten Island Lighthouse serving as the rear range. This guided ships into the Ambrose Channel. I was able to see a number of lighthouses in New York Harbor this trip.

Spike and... I guess that's supposed to be Sparkplug, but dude, you need a pillow or something if you wanna look like Tubbo.

The Romer Shoal Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1898 and is in the Lower New York Bay. It is 2 and a half nautical miles north of Sandy Hook, New Jersey.

Transformers Armada Optimus Prime is something I've been wanting to try and build with Lego since late 2017/early 2018. Back then, the available parts at the time meant that building it up to my standards of articulation with reasonable stability would have been borderline impossible. So I ended up shelving the project for several years while I practiced building other things. This was BEFORE it was announced that a new Armada Prime Transformer toy was in the works.
Fast forward to last year, 2022. Lego started producing new ratchet joint parts that were more compact of multiple sizes. Combined with the re-emergence of Armada Transformer toys, I was re-inspired, and knew my time was now to get this project done. I'd had a lot of time to think about it, so I started tinkering with the build, this time fully intent on finishing the project.
I have a tendency to be a perfectionist, which causes me to over-stress over the details. I wanted it ALL out of this Lego MOC: A fully functional Armada Optimus Prime figure with truck cab and trailer, cab robot and and base mode, and most importantly the super mode combination. All with the most articulation I could manage, with all necessary features, accessories, and even both Minicons! The only thing I wasn't worried about was the motorized gimmicks lol, because as cool as the original leader class toy was, I still wished it had knees.
Thank the Lord Jesus, after a year of building, and the last month preparing a video to showcase it (a kind that I had never done before, plus I hate the sound of my own voice lol), it is FINALLY DONE. The project is now complete!
The Armada version of Optimus Prime is a bit obscure these days, but the original deluxe-class figure was my first ever Transformer, and I have fond memories of it, so I'll never forget it. I hope that those who recognize it will like this Lego version! I'm glad to have finally gotten it done.

The Bug Light. I took this image because the man walking on the breakwater gives a sense of scale of the jetty.
Bloody Point Bar Light is an early sparkplug lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay near Kent Island, Maryland.
The Cube's engine is running very rough at idle. I suspected a dud spark plug, so I had to take a look.
Thanks to my Twitter pal, @theelusivefish, the mystery is solved. It was probably part of a garage display tied to this ad in Popular Mechanics for AC Spark Plugs Cleaning Stations . I asked about the pic on Twitter and @theelusivefish had the answer in less than five minutes. Amazing, and thanks!

I decided to try these when I replaced my plugs. DO NOT USE THEM. Trans Ams HATE these. I was getting shitty gas mileage, my acceleration went to hell, and actually lost horsepower with them.
When I took them out, they were all black and nasty after only a few weeks of driving. I had a custom tune as well.
45k miles on old plugs. Nissan claims 105K without a need to change.... i think not.
On the left is the stock spark plug>PLFR5A-11.
On the right is the new "colder" plug>PLFR6A-11 *BOTH ARE NGK

So i walked out to my motorcycle at 6pm today after work and discovered that it woulnd't start.
After a minute or two of kicking and playing with the choke and such I decided to look at the sparkplug cable.
It was handing loose. Somehow, while I was at work, the top of my sparkplug had gotten sheared off. This is a picture of the remains.
