Had a surprise visitor today. Chipi woke up from hibernation and visited today. He remembered us and his name. Glad to see him back.

Lani and Holly (on the right) invited me for a shoot in her hubby's bike Shop for a pin up shoot ...with so many bikes to use I was like a kid in a toy's store
Walking up the stairs from the Villiers Street exit from Charing Cross tube I saw the opportunity....
Looking up to the top of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Way up. See those tiny windows up at the top? Yeah, I didn't get to go up there. Sort of glad, because I think feeling it sway might have freaked me out a little bit.
This is looking up the tree from the bottom. If the Angel were real she'd be saying "You pervert! Quick looking up my dress!"
I made this Christmas tree! Seriously! I took a couple of tomato cages out of the garden, turned them upside down and put lights all the way around it. Then I put the garland on it. Put the Angel on top and there you have it, a Christmas tree.
My family isn't big on Christmas trees. I'd like to have a nice big tree but I do agree that they are a lot of work and upkeep, even the artificial ones.
Spotted painted on the garage door of a house in Burntisland, presumably where the owner ties their car up to the hitching post in the livery stable. Made me smile.
The newly-installed 2-metre LAND figure by Anthony Gormley faces north along the spit towards Aldeburgh from the Landmark Trust's martello tower in Slaughden (info).
Proof that I tried to work around the lack of gray cheese graters. Would've worked, but not too sturdy.

A closer study of the bridge in Exbury Gardens, this time in colour. I loved the texture of the stone.

Hike up Slogen 4
A quick stop for a photo on our way up to Slogen (mountain in the background). It was starting to get dark at this point so could get a long exposure of the stream without any filters.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my photos. Any comments are highly appreciated.
According to the limited information Herkimer scheduled production for single propeller commercial version of this engine in the early 1940's. Other than a few repro’s, fabricated by welding two twins together, it appears no commercial engines were actually produced or sold.
The military version sports a coaxial drive for contra rotating propellers with a dual point distributor in the back. It measures 11.5 inches long, 8 inches wide plug to plug, 5 inches high, and weighs 4 pounds- 12 ounces; it burns gas with oil mixed in for lubrication. As the war approached a few were produced for military testing but one or two either failed or were destroyed by the Army, which ended the program. This engine is believed to be the only engine, or possibly one of two original engines that survived.
Like the OK twin it has a single updraft carburetor with manifold tubes extending to each cylinder. Interesting is the tubes that make up the manifold appear to be rolled from brass sheet stock with the seams soldered.

I had read about this chain recently in Inc. magazine, so one of the things I wanted to do while we were on our vacation was to sample their fare. While they've got franchises in 40 states, I've never seen one in my regular travels, and I ain't going out of my way for a hamburger). I figured we were heading into their prime market so there might be a chance. As luck would have it, there was one right next to the hotel we stayed at in Williamsburg.
Frankly, and I know this is heresy to foodies, I was underwhelmed. The fries were OK, but not overwhelming. If you're gonna have greasy fries, I want to see 'em dripping in grease. Although these did come close. Having bottles of malt vinegar at the condiment counter was a step in the right direction. And I think it's hilarious that they show the source of the potatoes on a sign. Like, can anyone really tell? Would you call up the store in the morning, ask for the source of the potatoes and then make your luncheon location decision based on that?
The hamburger was pretty good, but not the greatest. It was juicy, I'll say that. Frankly, what I really liked was the choices of stuff. I selected grilled onions and green peppers. That was a combination I've never had before and it made the hamburger. Now I just have to figure out a way for the local restaurants around here to give me grilled green peppers.
They make a big deal out of the bun, but it just fell apart, so I wasn't impressed. And hand shaped hamburgers? Who cares?
They also make a big deal about cleanliness. Kate said the restroom wasn't particularly clean, and she noticed that the person cleaning up the dining area would put her hands into the garbage can and push the garbage down. Then, using the same gloved hands, she would refill the napkin dispenser and handle all of the other stuff on the condiment area. There is a reason they wear the gloves. Food workers frequently don't get this and it drives me crazy.
OK, all you foodies can scream. But I just wasn't that impressed. It was better than your average burger. And I'd eat there again if I came across one. But I'm not going to make a special effort.
I'd give them 4 out of 5 stars (the extra star is for the grilled green peppers).
