It's October!! And it feels like it was March only last week.. where did time go? 😮
Only 2 more weeks until I will have my autumn holiday, so I'm looking forward to a week of down-time. 😊
So, here's another throwback to when I just got these fabulous red over-the-knee stiletto heeled boots. 🔥
Perfect for some shopping at the supermarket, eh? 😉
One of my favorite photos from six years ago. Was in a hotel room and my date took this photo before we left for the event we were attending.
This week we are going back seventeen years to 2009, and to RV 481 on D'Olier Street with a service on route 83 to Kimmage.
Route 83 started running between the city centre and Kimmage in 1936. In 1992 it became the first City Imp route, when red / yellow minibuses were introduced that ran at a high frequency. Around 2003 it was extended north to McKelvey Avenue in Finglas when it replaced route 134. In 2004 it was extended further north to Harristown. In 2024 the route was slightly rerouted to go via Crumlin Village, following the Bus Connects changes to the southern orbital routes. It then finally ceased to operate in 2025 when it was partially replaced by routes 23, 24 and 82 under the Bus Connects F-Spine changes.
RV 481 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in 2009, and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

Yesterday's post shows this rail fan extra with Erie Lackawanna E8's 816 and 823 crossing RT17K in Montgomery, NY. Today we are a couple of hundred yards to the south at Clinton St. where the station was. It appears the extra has paused for a bit. Maybe for a fan photo line. It also appears a few chasers were on hand.
I could be wrong, but in front of the station, it appears to have some sort of tilt order board signal.
I myself had several of my early chases as a passenger in a 1963 2 door Plymouth Fury like the one in the photo. It had 318 "big block" and push a button transmission. It was fast and rode as smooth as glass.

This week we are going back fourteen years to Dublin Bus EV 53 on Burgh Quay with a service on route 151 to Adamstown. This route started operating between Docklands Station and Grange Castle in March 2007, running via the Crumlin Road. In July of that year it was extended to Adamstown, which was a new town being built out in west Dublin near Lucan. In 2010 under Network Direct changes the route was cut back to terminate in Foxborough. Route 25B was introduced at the same time which ran to Adamstown via Palmerstown, and provided an interchange with the 151 in Foxborough. The current 151 no longer uses Burgh Quay either. It currently crosses the River Liffey via the Roise Hackett Bridge and reaches College Street via Hawkins Street.
EV 53 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in December 2008. In fact, this Enviro 400 entered service just two days before this picture was taken. It was withdrawn from service in February 2022.

Another of my favorite Polaroids by my dad that I found after he died a couple of weeks ago. This is my sister Alyssa's birthday shot. Not sure of the camera or film used.
And what should this title be?
Aircraft recovery on the Lucy Glacier in the TransAntarctic Mtns in 1994, I spent over two weeks helping the Navy recover/repair/retrieve LC 130 '07'. Maybe one of my craziest times... well 4 of us went back and retrieved our left behind gear the next year. THAT was crazy. We traversed a Tucker and gear through the range up to the Polar Plateau where the pilots felt more comfortable landing. Somehow I lived through it to scan this slide years ago. It went by on my screen saver and I thought... I better post this
Continuing on with "Throwback Thursday" to highlight some of my old LEGO photos that I've never posted on social media. This one is a real oldie from 2015. It was an image I took for a Classic Space project that never became a reality. I always liked the idea of these explorers roughing it on a harsh, unforgiving alien planet. Remember when I used to use yellow faces for my NCS figures?
These pics are from 2017. I felt I have to post something, because it has been almost three weeks since my last posting.
But hopefully I have time for some dressup fun next week. I can feel an urgent need to spent some time as Rikky again.
By the way, thanks to all my lovely friends and followers. Your comments help me to make it through these periods. 😘 😘 😘
Where have you been?” asked DeGrazia when he met New York sculptor Marion Sheret as she visited the first DeGrazia studio at Prince Road and Campbell Avenue. They married in the jungles of Mexico in 1947, lived at the studio, then bought the 10-acre foothills site near Tucson that became DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun. Marion was instrumental in DeGrazia’s success, according to longtime DeGrazia friend Dick Frontain, “I don’t think he would have done it without her. In fact, I’m sure he wouldn’t. She was the drive he needed.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
A shot of me from about ten years ago. Shot by my son on a 5D2 and EF 851.2L. Focal point was my right eye.
Thinking back to this beautiful weekend-trip in Japan.
This place is world famous for its Wasabi products.
These fields require very specific conditions with flat cold river beds and lots of shade. The plants also take several years until they are ready to be harvested.
A desk of papers in the East Broad Top machine shop is a true look into the past, with a calendar dating back to 1954. Two years before the EBT ceased revenue coal service.
Angie sports a bikini I had purchased for her This was her first ever bikinii and I thought she looked really good in it!
As the spring season has started brightening the northern hemisphere, I could not help but remember the colours of autumn.
