How long has it been since I did one of these? Uh... Too long. :P
So, I got another picture and another story, once again about the LEGO Gallery. (If you guys get tired of hearing about that, just let me know. xP Maybe I'll do a throwback Thursday thing that isn't LEGO related sometime.)
Anyway, if you were on the Gallery it didn't take you long to hear about a little MMO called LEGO Universe. It was so popular there you wouldn't even believe. There were all kinds of veterans and even people who never got the chance to play! I can't tell you how many petitions to bring back the game I saw. (Probably somewhere around 6, actually. :P) Now, you probably already tell by the picture that I too was a fan of the game. (Even if I never played it.)
I made this picture back in January of 2017 to show off my MOC. Looking back, it seems I've improved my editing skills a bit. Like, the erasing could've been a tad smoother and I added one too many lense flares. But I still like how it turned out.
If you are unaware that shadowy dude there is the Darkitect, the most feared Villain on the gallery. (Who got taken down in multiple fan stories. :P) And my sig-fig is manning an imaginite cannon in the middle of a mealstrom storm! (Maelstrom was evil purple smoke stuff, I'm not just being redundant.)
So yeah, that's that. Tune in next week to see if I remember this is a thing I do. :P

Throwing it back to seven years ago with my first Mavic Pro camera drone and my first trip to Goblin Valley. What an amazing place to visit!
I really can't believe how much has changed since this photo was taken. This was taken during H2O weekend of 2010 and it was also the first time that I met Mike Barry. I also met John Quay the day before this. John no longer has this car and Mike Barry's car is totally different as well. I never thought that when this photo was taken, almost 2 years later Mike and I would be working on a blog of our own together. It's times like these that make me so happy to be a part of such a great group of enthusiasts and gets me excited enough to travel long distances just to reunite with old friends and meet new ones.
Today’s theme, “What did you post on May 27, 2022?” was a chance to remember how much I enjoyed putting together a series of color-themed jigsaw puzzles last year. After they were complete, I used packing tape on the back of each one, then took a picture of the puzzle with a Blythe doll on it. I posted the yellow one on this date last year, so this week I got the puzzle out again, and took a new picture with it and three of my girls. These Blythe dolls are, left to right, Ice Rune, Playful Raindrops, and Mrs. Retro Mama. Last year’s picture featured Prima Dolly Marigold. flic.kr/p/2nnYRaQ
This week we are going back thirty-eight years to 1988, and to D 756 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 11 to Clonskea.
Route 11 started running between the Ballymun Road and Clonskea in 1939. In 1967 the northern terminus moved to Griffith Avenue, before it reached Wadelai Park (St. Pappin's Road) in 1983. In the late-1990s it was extended to Kilmacud from Clonskea, and in 2011 its southern terminus became Sandyford Business District. In 2025, under Bus Connects, it was replaced on the northside by new route 19, and its city terminus became Phoenix Park.
D 756 was new to CIE in 1975. It then went on to have colourful career, literally. In 1986 it gained this all-over ad livery for Philips Philishave. In 1987 it spent some time on loan to Bus Eireann in Cork for the ad to be shown there. At the end of 1988 it received a new all-over scheme when it became the Santa bus for the Christmas period. Then in 1989, it received an all-over ad for the Blood Donors. The bus was withdrawn in 1993 by Dublin Bus, and spent its final years in the Dublin Bus two-tone green livery.

I played this game last week .... but now I found that Thursday is here again & it's too much fun not to go through the photo archives! I think we should all keep this going!
This is January 2010. Jason's sister Melody was having a slumber party ... only Jason's mom had to work late!
Poor Jason ... it was a few hours before he was able to meet up with Lauren, Keith, & Kiera!!!
They were all Juniors in High school back then!
I had this idea earlier today. This ginger boi is the "Classic" version of my sig-fig!
This is actually a little nostalgic even though I only changed him back in December. Probably because he was my sig-fig for somewhere around four-five years...
Anyway, this is the third "Throwback Thursday" I've done. Do you guys enjoy them? Because I think that would be something I would like to make a semi-regular thing. Let me know! Like, in the comments. Well, where else? :P
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.

GP60's used to roam the Lurgan pretty regularly, often running in threes or fours on hotshot intermodal trains between Altanta and Northern New Jersey. Since I started shooting the Lurgan regularly I've only managed to nab one up front, with most of the type running trains down south over the last six years. Thanks to a bad horn on the SD70ACe leading NS 747, NS 7120 had to be put on the front between Shenandoah, VA and Harrisburg, PA.
Throw back to that time three years ago when my friend Scott N and I visited the Salt Flats. The beauty and stillness of the place has never left me.
The crowds tend to come to airshows for the headlining jet teams - Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, Red Arrows, etc. For me, the big draw to the Harrisburg show was the recently repainted Viper Demo Team F-16, sporting the 50th anniversary prototype scheme.
The General Dynamics YF-16 first flew in 1974, with the fighter jet entering service in 1978. It's been around as long as I have, and as a kid I played with many a toy F-16 sporting that bicentennial-inspired paint scheme. To see one flying was a fun nugget of nostalgia, and the aerobatics put on by Capt. Taylor “FEMA” Hiester, the F-16 Viper Demonstration Team commander and pilot, was outstanding.
It's 90s all over again!
I was lucky enough to obtain both Roboforce figs from a local seller (try finding them in Europe!). All three Hydronauts were also there so I did not hesitate even for a second - turned the latter into a female crew as I've been itching to use those hair pieces. Also BW guns for everyone!
I think I will use most of these parts for some custom characters, but I thought they are worthy of a post for nostalgia's sake.
Remembering when there was lots of colour around!

I feel like uploading to be honest. I have had this shot for the best part of 4 years and I think it finally deserves the light of day.
At the time this was a rather shiny repaint which looked pretty excellent. It did though only last in the coat 2 and a bit years as it bowed out mid 2021 due to less activity after the pandemic.
So, here we see Lothian buses 308 doing service 44 duties to Wallyford while on Princes Street.
Whether you're into old cars, black & white or trains, this photo should grab some sort of interest.
Chicago & Eastern Illinois GP-7 #230 pauses on the house track at Momence, Illinois in April of 1965. Switchman Del Sommers is seen walking through the shot. The depot is at right.
C&EI GP7 #230 was built by EMD in August of 1951. Was later renumbered as MP #1634 and then later #634.
