throwback (n): reversion to an earlier type or phase
This weeks theme? 80's. I have to tell you that I got all dressed up but my pictures stunk. My bangs are too heavy and just don't remember how to stand up straight. My braided leather belt is still the same length but my hips...not so much. It just doesn't hang right now. The end of it, that we used to loop around and back through the belt is just a little nub.
But I still have a huge chambray shirt circa late 80's early 90's. I still know how to apply black eyeliner to the inside of my lids. And I've still got some awesome scrunch socks. Yep, I still got it.
And who can remember the 80's without busting out their Aqua Net. You gotta have that hairdryer to get the full on wing effect to the hair. The comb makes for easy teasing on the bangs, provided they aren't too long. And you just can't go wrong with a finger full of tulip rings and that Swatch!
I swear, if banana clips ever come back in style. I'm there. I'm so there.
This week we are going back forty-one years to 1982 and to D 397 on Burgh Quay. The bus is dressed for route 62. This route started operating in 1936, being extended from Goatstown to Kilmacud in 1962, and to Beaufield Park (behind the Stillorgan Shopping Centre) in 1966. The route ceased to operate in 1999 when it was replaced by an extended route 11.
D 397 was new to CIE in 1971 and was withdrawn in 1985.

A vacation to Mexico City led to DeGrazia’s seminal one-man show at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in 1942. He and his wife Alexandra left a ballet performance at intermission when DeGrazia said, “Diego Rivera is doing murals at the Palacio Municipal…he might be working late, it’s worth a try.” They gave a guard $5, met Rivera and his wife Frida Kahlo, and the norteamericano was “ecstatic” when Rivera took him on as his student-assistant. DeGrazia’s 1942 show was again exhibited in Mexico City at the Museo Estudio Diego Rivera 50 years later. Happy Throwback Thursday!

Some of the most productive forests in the world are managed by the BLM in western Oregon. The objectives of the O&C forestry program are to manage for a sustained yield of forest products and qualities needed to contribute to the economic stability of local communities, and continuing forest values and health. This vintage photo depicts forest management that took place in the BLM’s Eugene District in the 1980s.
The Eugene District of the Bureau of Land Management, now part of the Northwest Oregon District, extended from the Pacific Coast into the western slopes of the Cascade Range, and encompassed 316,000 acres. The Eugene District managed several ecosystems ranging from coastal inlands to dense Douglas-fir, hemlock, and cedar forests.
The Eugene District and the Salem Districts were officially consolidated into the Northwest Oregon District in 2016 and now collectively make up approximately 720,000 acres. The Northwest Oregon District stretches from the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean, where the historic Yaquina Lighthouse greets thousands each year.

Pepsi and Coke have both recently had a push to reintodce their popular sodas with pure cane soda instead of high fructose corn syrup, which has been oten used since the early 1980's. Corn Syrup is cheaper but many people say cane sugar tastes better.
For Pepsi products returning to cane sugar, they've returned to an old logo and added the word "Throwback." I drink more Mountain Dew than any other soda and I could tell a subtle difference.
Late Charger
The Charger was produced from 1966-1978. Like my wagon these later models are unrecognized by many. So I thought It was cool to showcase these in this weeks Throwback!
This week we go back forty years to 1984 and to D 277 parked on Hawkins Street.
This Leyland Atlantean was new to CIE in 1969. It was withdrawn and sold for scrap in 1985.
The bus is parked between duties, and is therefore showing no route number. The destination display is showing the Irish for Carrickmines (Carraig Mhaighin), which in 1984 was served by routes 63 and 86.
The New Metropole Cinema in the background opened in 1972. In 1984 it became the Screen Cinema. It closed in 2016 and was subsequently demolished. A new office complex built on the site is due to be completed in 2024 or 2025. The cinema appears to be showing "The World According to Garp", a 1982 film starring Robin Williams.

Sergeant Scott W. Gilchrist, recovery team leader, 81mm Mortars/Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel Platoon, Weapons Company, Battalion Landing Team 3/5, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, practices a carabineer tie-off during rappelling training off the flight deck of USS Peleliu, March 5. The main training objective was keeping the 14 BLT Helicopter Rope Suspension Technique masters current in their qualifications, but it also gave the Security Platoon an opportunity to practice rappelling, which is one of the ways troops can be inserted into different situations. The 15th MEU is deployed as part of the Peleliu Amphibious Ready Group as a U.S. Central Command theater reserve force, providing support for maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility. Gilchrist, 24, is from Hurst, Texas, and is a HRST master with the unit. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. John Robbart III) www.facebook.com/15thMarineExpeditionaryUnit
In 1949, the DeGrazia's bought 10-acres of land in the Santa Catalina Foothills, north of Tucson. Soon after Ted and Marion began to build their home on the grounds, at this time there was no electricity, water, or services. All supplies that they needed had to be transported from Tucson. They cooked their food in an old wood-burning stove and took showers outside with water from a bucket. Happy Throwback Thursday!
USS RUSHMORE (March 20, 2013) Sergeant Steve E. Barrientos, fire direction controller, 1st Platoon, Battery B, Battalion Landing Team 3/5, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, practices techniques from the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program aboard USS Rushmore, March 20. Barrientos, 23, is from Fontana, Calif. He joined to become an FDC because he thought it would best utilize his skills and because it was his lifelong dream. To pass time while deployed, he plays poker, reads and hangs out with his friends. His favorite part of the deployment has been training in foreign countries. He looks forward to going home to see his son and visiting his family.

This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.
This week we are going back fifteen years to RV 597 on Suffolk Street with a service on route 145 to Heuston Station.
The first route 145 was a local route in Bray that ran between Palermo, Ballywaltrim and Kilmacanogue. This route started in 1995 and operated under the Localink brand using minibuses. In 2004 the route underwent a massive transformation when it was altered to run from Kilmacanogue to Mountjoy Square in the city centre. In 2010 the route was altered under Network Direct, when route 92 was merged into it, and the 145 moved it's city centre terminus to Heuston Station. In 2015 the route was cut back from Kilmacanogue to terminate at Ballywaltrim instead. The route last ran on the 25th January 2025. The following day the E-Spine changes under Bus Connects were implemented, and route 145 was partially replaced by routes E1 and 4.
RV 597 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in September 2012, and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
Suffolk Street was a main artery for bus routes in the city centre for decades. However, buses were diverted away from it in January 2015 due to Luas Cross City works, and the street is effectively pedestrianised now.

Amalfi is a town in a dramatic natural setting below steep cliffs on Italy’s southwest coast. The Amalfi coast is a known cultivator of lemons and is famous for its production of Limoncello liqueur - which makes for an awesome Spritz.
Amalfi, Italy
This week we are going back thirty-four years to 1991 and to MB 11 on route 201 at The Square in Tallaght.
Tallaght gained three local routes in the late-1980s, numbered T01, T02 and T03. These routes served the various housing estates around Tallaght. and also started serving The Square shopping centre when it opened in 1990. Around that time the routes were also renumbered 201, 202 and 203. The 201 connected Killinarden and Kilnamanagh. In the 1990s it had a few changes, moving its western terminus to Jobstown, and its eastern terminus to Aylesbury and later to Kiltipper. In the early-2000s it started operating between Citywest and Bohernabreena, and this was its final form until the route was withdrawn around 2009.
MB 11 was one of fifteen MB Class minibuses delivered to Dublin Bus between 1987 and 1989. They were predominately used on the local routes around Tallaght and elsewhere in the city, under the Localink brand. All members of the class were withdrawn by 1994, with MB 8 passing to Bus Eireann.

When I rescued Rusty in 2015 I did not know that his red fur was caused from skin that had been infected and was healing. I actually named him Rusty because of that red coat! However, I am much happier that his fur is now its natural colour because his skin is healthy!
A group photo of all of us from SpamCon, which was a one-time conference held to discuss spam issues back in 2001. In attendance were myself (lower left) and a number of other sysadmins and engineers from major ISPs and email companies.
