been meaning too post this bridge up for ages
Clifton suspension bridge

View attachment 185022

I saw that bridge on Aerial England on the Smithsonian channel. Very impressive.

I'll try for a few more here. This time concentrating on my new home county Wicklow, known as the garden county of Ireland. Just south of county Dublin, AKA just beyond The Pale.

This is Bray, my home town:

Some of the surrounding areas:

Vartry reservoir:

DJouce woods:

Powerscourt:

And a view from D'arcy McGees' pub in Arklow Town:

I should have got some shots of the suspension bridge going through
But there’s cameras everywhere and now the police are catching you out with this

Here are some photos from the inter web

I kinda wish I still had my ‘02 PS/ZF-6, as well... and my ‘06 Cummins/G56. But the 6.7 is so much better for towing, and a nicer overall truck.

The 6.7 fords are nignt and day difference than the older fords for sure. Its fun to drive around an old truck but when work needs to happen you cant beat a modern truck for power, efficiency, and comfort.

Dunno bout monsters, but like England - every freakin thing is haunted here

My old haunting grounds - Waterford. Though I do show up here often enough as I am the part time forester(for life!) on the Gurteen Estate.

Kells(OK, I lied this is in County Killkenny):

Enough of that(I'll do a castle one after this). Here's Waterford:

Passage East:

These next two images are from opposing views:

My favourite street sign. I often use it for my avatar:

A view of the Deise(Day-Shuh - usually refers to the older established areas of Waterford, if not Waterford entirely):

View from Coumshingaun, Comeragh Mountains, Waterford:

As high up as I managed before my knees start to give out:

The Estate I work:

Here's a pic before I had to fell that fat beech tree:

A view of the foot of the Comeraghs from the Farm part of the estate:

Pulled back a bit:

The SW Entrance to the estate:

You can see in to the neighbouring estate as well:

My first day in work on the estate:

Some work I did on the O'Donnell estate of O'Donnell crisp fame(Across the River Suir, so technically in county Tipperary)

Hey if it has that and a build able motor we may have to talk lol. Is it 2wd or 4wd?

2003 F350 7.3 ZF6 4WD manual shift t-case.

It runs if you tow start it but the bell hoising is cracked half way around. The ball joints are locked up. Needs tires. Injectors need replaced. Runs with a miss till it gets some heat in it. Then it runs like a scalded ape! Just more than i feel its worth. Rather keep the f150 on the road!

 

[Steve]

I have a 85 square body with a 454 in field that I haven't had time/interest to do any thing for a while. 400 turbo has problems and I had rebuilt the motor less than 5000 miles ago, but can't get motivated to work on it. Too many other things falling apart around me to fix.

I hear you with that time thing!

Castles. I don't have as many photos as I would like. I'll have to make an effort. But Castles are often tourist attractions - and I am not a big fan of crowds.

Skryne Tower, County Meath - my wife's home county. The J. O'Connell pub here is famous in Ireland for being in a Guinness commercial:

A corner of Trim castle, in Trim, Meath:

A view from An Caslean Dubh(doov), Black Castle, in Wicklow.

Gurteen Castle, the castle our Waterford estate surrounds:

Baltinglas Castle, Wicklow:

The Rock of Cashel, AKA Castle Cashel, Tipperary:

The entrance to Waterford Castle. Waterford Castle(Caslean Port Lairge), built upon an island at the mouth of the Suir river. You have to take a ferry to get to it:

The Waterford Roundell:

The Rock Of Dunamase(Dún Másc - fort of Masc):

My wife doesn't like me sharing images of her - so here she is before Cahir Castle:

Yeah, come on over, we're just across from the castle. Ya can't miss us:

Another view of Kells in Kilkenny:

A cousin of mine in So Cal rented me a Hurrican for my BDay. You know yer getting old when you complain about the noise and the ride after someone rents you a Lambo for yer bday, Personally, I would have preferred a Dolmar 7900. But I guess I get to brag about it:

ETA almost forgot to mention - I think both these cars, the Audi R8 and the Hurrican, have the same engine.

These bales were heavy! Mileage was probably 6-8.

I don't hit auctions very often, but I have a hard time passing up old, well made tools when they are cheap.
