My friends and their girls took me to my first rugby game. During the last part of the game I took out my camera and snapped off a few shots of the girls when they weren't paying much attention to me. Since I was traveling & took it with film I didn't develop it until I got home in May. That is when I noticed that Sarah's lollipop (and hand) looked like she was lighting up a cigarette.

Note: I do not condone or support smoking in anyway, especially not by children. This is NOT a cigarette, nor was it meant to be one. I simply thought it LOOKED like one after the fact.
10 Mile Race Start: This is a photograph from the annual Ardagh Moydow Glen Community Games 5KM and 10 Mile road races, fun runs, walks and challenges which were held in the heritage village of Ardagh, Co. Longford, Ireland on Saturday 26th February 2022 at 13:00. This race has grown year on year since its first running a few years ago. This is the first time the races have been held in February due to the postponement of the traditional Christmas time fixture from January 2nd 2022.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race start and the finish on our Flickr photostream set at

The 10 mile race takes in the local 'Ardagh Mountain' which is a 1 mile continuous climb starting at the 2 mile mark of the 10 mile race. There is, of course, then the reward of a long down-hill stretch after the summit. This forested hill or mountain was once a famous centre of pre-Christian religious worship and is believed to have been the home of a pre–christian diety named Midir (the God of the Underworld), and also a Prince of the "Tuatha De Dannan", the fairy people of Ireland. The hill or mountain itself is named after Brí, the daughter of Midhir and her doomed love, Leith who are reputed to be buried on the hill. The top of the hill offers impressive views of the landscape, particularly north to Longford town and towards the south. The remainder of the race is challenging but fair, with some much smaller and less steep hills in the race profile. Miles 3 - 7 benefit from some downhill as the race route travels around the base of the hills. The roads are predominantly rural roads with little traffic. There is a gradual climb in the final mile of the race which brings runners back into Ardagh village. The 10 mile race finishes in the same finish as the 5KM race. Water stops and adequate stewarding at junctions is provided.
The 5KM race takes a loop around the heritage village of Ardagh. This allows runners, walkers and joggers of all ability to take part over a more manageable distance. Overall this is a very well organised race with accurate courses, good marshalling and traffic control and excellent after race refreshments. The 10 mile race is one of the longest road races held during the Christmas period anywhere in Ireland and has appeal to runners who want to add a longer distance race to their festive calendar of running.
The weather at this year's race was almost perfect for running. The rain managed to stay away and there was only a breeze on certain exposed parts of the course. Indeed conditions could be described as mild with temperatures of 11C. In 2014 there was very frosty icy weather and in 2015 participants were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. The 2016 and 2017 event seen very suitable weather for road racing in late December in Ireland.
Ardagh is probably County Longford's most picturesque village with many historical and architecturally important features. It is located about 6 miles from Longford town. There has been settlement in the area since around the 5th century.

We have a few warm days this week so we broke out the bucket and started another wine kit. This is a Pinot Noir from a Vintner's Reserve kit.
Started having fun with starlapseing. Worked out okay. Need a faster lens to achieve what i really want.

“Wow! Are you kidding?”
since the starting blocks are in the shallow end, we couldn't use them for the Corporate Challenge - too much risk of someone diving too deep and hitting their head
see my blog post for more about the Richardson Corporate Challenge
Much better results on the second attempt. I've replaced all the injector O-rings as well as the two on the fuel pressure regulator and that's sorted the leak out. Visually the old ones looked the same with no flat spots but when you cut them off they had no elasticity left.
I ran it for about 25 minutes and brought the engine up to temp. The thermostat opened at ~98 degrees but the fan never cut in at the lower temp. I suspect this is because the top of the rad is not full so the sensor wasn't fully immersed. I'll top it up and try again. I did notice the engine bogged for half a second when manually switching the fan on, not sure what that's all about. Main thing was that none of the coolant hoses were leaking.
My rev counter is still not working but all other gauges seemed ok, oil warning lamp went out straight away as did the charge lamp.
I'll have to fire a question off to the place I bought my gauges from to see if they have any ideas. The pulse signal from the ECU is around 36 Hz when settled into the low idle which is much higher that the 10Hz I'd expect to get from the crank sensor when idling around 600rpm. There is power at the gauge but the only time the needle moves is a wild fluctuation when cranking at start up. Even with the high pulse reading I'd still expect the revs to read off at ~2100rpm rather than no activity at all.
After the heavy rainfall a couple of weeks ago we spotted these tiny toads that were everywhere. So tiny. A gentle reminder that everything starts small.
it's been a long haul ... organizing, packing, making all the arrangements, then painting and fixing up, installing shelves and so much more ... building shit-loads of Ikea furniture, not to mention the trips back and forth, and shopping for so many goddamn area rugs so that the dogs aren't killing themselves at every step ... the list goes on ...
and i haven't even really begun on the studio/office. it's hard to know where to start. i have to dissemble the computer and put it back together because it's a mess of wires and not even where i need it ... i need a new file cabinet .... SO much to figure out still.
but one thing remains ... my dog is always with me ... and her farts are never far behind. gag ...
