With a nice retro shout-out to the George Reeves days, I think.
I do spend some time removing the red eye from my photos before posting, but there are times when I'm tempted to leave them alone. It would have looked like Superman was using his heat vision, right?
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!

Lets welcome this great ad to this weeks Throwback Thursday!
Goal: Create posters for each week of a four week series.
Audience: Young adults, most grew up in old southern traditional churches.
Direction: Tried to "throw back" to some images of what some associate church with. The blurb for the series is: "Whether you came from old church, big church, southern church, or no church at all, we all have our own ideas of what church is. For the next four weeks, we will be looking at what church WAS, and what God's church really IS."
Project: Throwback
A sight never to be repeated again:
With the searchlights and code-line poles from the CBQ era now gone present day, a trio of CSXT Dash-8 variants leads an crude oil train towards the east coast as it rides on the rails of the former CBQ back in 2013.
This week we are going back thirty years to 1995 and to P 39 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 10 to UCD Belfield.
Buses started operating on route 10 between the Phoenix Park and Donnybrook in 1940. In 1970 the route reached the Belfield campus of University College Dublin (UCD). Network Direct saw the end of the route in 2010. It was replaced on the southside by route 39A, and on the northside by route 46A.
P 39 was new to Dublin Bus in 1993. It was one of the early CitySwift buses, with the first batch arriving in 1992. It was withdrawn in 2003, and joined the Bus Eireann school fleet in Limerick. It was withdrawn around 2014.
Although P 39 was a CitySwift bus, route 10 was not a CitySwift route.

Pepsi Throwback was supposed to only be around for the first couple of months of 2010, but I saw it again at a couple of local stores.
I love vehicles of all makes and models worth loving. But I just happen to own two Chevrolet's at the moment.
That being the case people assume I'm a Chevy only guy. I often get smack talk about Chevy's large displacements over Fords much smaller engines putting out equal or more power. Well, lets take a moment this Thursday to remember Fords BIG-O 7 Litre!
Happy Thursday Everyone! Ride into the weekend as if you were in this gorgeous, powerful, convertible!
I Love it, when i see old couples together, because it makes me believe, that true love does exist.

Tiny, baby puppy. He was probably around 25-30 pounds here... now, he's close to 110. Makes me want to cry :(
A photo of this scene almost a year ago got me 400 000 views and I have come so far since then. Here's to the New Year: Happy holidays everyone.
This week we are going back twenty-six years to 1998 and to KC 56 on O'Connell Street. The bus is operating a service on route 3 to Larkhill. This route started running between Larkhill / Whitehall and Sandymount in 1940. Originally terminating at Sandymount Tower, it moved to St. John's Church in 1972. Around 1990, certain departures were extended to / from UCD Belfield. In 2012 the route was replaced by a new route 1 between Santry and Sandymount, with Larkhill being served by an extended route 44, as part of Network Direct.
KC 58 was new to CIE in 1984. The final KC Class buses were withdrawn from the Dublin Bus fleet in 2000, with a farewell run for this class and the KD Class double-deckers taking place on the 13th January 2001. Members of the KC Class lasted a little longer with Bus Eireann.
There has been a few changes to O'Connell Street since this photograph was taken. Tram lines now go down the road as part of the Luas Green Line. The public toilets in the centre of the road are gone, and the Spire dominates the centre of the background.

This week we are going back eleven years to 2014, and to GT 80 on Terenure Road North with a service on route 49 to The Square (Tallaght).
Route 49 started running between the city centre and Kimmage Cross Roads in 1925. In 1928 it was extended to Tallaght. From 1943 to 1949 (during, and shortly after, the Second World War) it was cut back to only run between Terenure and Tallaght, regaining its full routing in 1949. In 1990 its Tallaght terminus moved the new shopping centre, The Square. It still terminates there today.
GT 80 was new to Dublin Bus in 2012, the last member of the original order of GT-Class buses. The GTs were the first double-decker buses to be delivered with middle doors in 13 years. 80 more GTs were delivered in 2013, and in 2018 12 of them transferred to Go-Ahead Ireland. GT 80 is still in service with Dublin Bus today (and even did a trip on route 49 on the day I am posting this).

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.
