The former 56th Fighter Wing flagship recently got a heritage livery and now wears it's 56th FW titles once again. The F-16 is stil an important part of Luke Air Force Base even though it is being phased out by the F-35.
This week we are going back twenty-one years to 2004 and to RA 320 parked on Hawkins Street, dressed for route 38.
Route 38 has a bit of a complicated history. From 1939 to 1973 it ran between the City Centre and Ashtown, and from 1958 to 1972 it also ran between the City Centre and Kinvara Park. Services continued to run between the City Centre and Ashtown until 1977, but these were part of the 38A and 39 timetable. In the 1990s the 38 returned, this time between the City Centre and Lady's Well. From around 1994 to around 1998 it ran to Tyrrelstown before reverting back to Lady's Well. In 2002 it was extended to Damastown and the western terminus has remained there since. Also from 2002 until 2010 the city centre terminus was on Hawkins Street, as seen here. It then moved to the Burlington Road area. The route was never part of the CitySwift network.
RA 320 was new to Dublin Bus in 1996. It was withdrawn in 2007 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

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.
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.

Twenty years sure went by fast, this was the big hair girl back in the year 2000. Fond memories of these times, I had spent the 1990's very closeted and upon turning forty I was determined to finally break out. It's certainly been an interesting journey since then, lol.
One of my first ventures out was to a wig salon where I got fitted for this Raquel Welch brunette wig, the first true quality wig I owned. The owner of the salon, Eduard, was a real sweetheart, so encouraging and positive...the experience was amazing. We are still good friends to this day.
I still have this wig, perhaps I'll break it out for a "Back to the Future" adventure 😄
Sticking with shots of power straight out of the 90's, here is K657 north of Leipsic with BNSF 685 and 604 in full ATSF paint with almost nothing indicating BNSF ownership anywhere on either of them. Hard to believe this shot is almost two years old now. This shot was all I had time to get but warbonnets kick ass so its worth it.
The only accomodation in the area. No electricity, lights were only powered by generator until 10pm.Windows were only covered with screen to keep out the sand flies, walls and roof were of special thick Tarpulin material, no electric fan. Just hope it's breezy during the night. Accomodation was very basic but very clean, we enjoyed it though.
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.
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!
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?
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.
