That is a neat looking Bird , and stout .
Don't think i have ever known about a Merlin Bird before . Would be cool to have one of those around just for the sight of it. Had a Redwing Hawk swoop into my front yard today and got something. Have owls in my forest but rarely see them. Just hear them. |

When I visited Australia 12 years ago we went to a facility with several buildings and dishes that NASA uses. Is that one part of that complex?

The dish is downunder in a town called Parks and was a critical part of the moon landing, apollo 11 ,myself and my wife are one a road trip of over 1200 miles in 6 days.
Nothing like cruising at 60mph on back roads with no traffic except road trains, kangaroos, emus and flattened foxes to avoid. Darksider forever . ![]() Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

I drove my CJ-7 to Virginia Beach the other day to do some shopping. I was on HWY 64 & 264 running with the pre rush hour traffic, like I was driving my 2020 JLU. The new engine can run 65-75 on the freeway with no problem. I recently installed a new steering gear for a Hummer H1 with variable ratio, and replaced the intermediate steering shaft & lower steering column bearing, all of which were old and well worn since it was manufactured in 1985. It drives and steers like a new Jeep now, literally.
On the way home I took the back roads to avoid rush hour traffic. I folded the windshield down after stopping at the 7-11 in Pungo. It was a very different driving experience, not so great when driving 40-50, but a lot of fun at slower speeds. I can’t wait to fold it down when I take it out trail riding one day, that should be fun.

No where near Zebulon, NC. 64 goes around Norfolk, and 264 goes through Norfolk, in my neck of the woods (Moyock).

I took these a week ago at a "cottage" in Earleville, MD. My daughter rented it for a family get together. I would sit outside and watch the bald eagles. This is one of the pictures that I got of one of them.

I was shooting a 1/4 scale RC event two years ago when they stopped the event and had the pilots move. Figured it was a real airplane landing because we were using an "active" runway (Castle AFB). All of a sudden I heard "the sound". He made a few passes and parked. ![]()

I love an ominous weather front moving in.
First is at a BNSF crossing in Grundy county IL. Second is on I-84 westbound in PA last March. |
