A coal barge steering into a lock on the Ohio river.


It's moving slowly.



Very slowly

 

This is the opposite end of the lock. The barge is almost all the way in.

 

^ if that thing was in any tighter, they'd have to lube it


I was wondering why they put the coal in separate bins. I'm guessing it's because they have a crane take out each bin one by one.

 

Gate closing behind.


It's closed.



They've raised the water level and the opposite gate is opening to let the barge out.



The barge is on its way.

 

Yes, it was tight. I wouldn't want to be steering one of those things.

 

There are several different ways that it can be uloaded. I always thought they separated it so it is easier to allocate weight for better steering, or maybe to keep any fires contained to one area. I'm not sure. I can find out and pm you.

 

^ reminds me the ending of Point Break

 

[SIZE=11pt]The remake of Point Break is scheduled to be released next summer [/SIZE]


[SIZE=11pt]Hotwater[/SIZE]

 

Woohoo. Now we get to hear people complain about yet another remake. Those movies always get bad reviews but always seem to make money. Something is wrong there.

 

only one actor in the remake I like. ..Ray Winstone..

 

invasive species.......

snapped this morning

 

my apple tree today

 

Looks good, growing up we had an apple tree in the backyard but too many ice and snowstorms laid her to waste


Hotwater

 

they look beautiful but almost every one had some type of bug attack it......going to spray next spring....thanks

 

Wish they would invade my place....

 

we had three apple trees when i was growing up, had to spray every year if we wanted decent apples out of them.

generally, we sprayed and trimmed the best one, and let the other two run wild. it's not like we were using more than one tree's worth of apples anyway.

i just had to cut down one of the three 2 winters ago because it was about 90% dead. so now my parents are down to two trees, and i don't think they're actually taking care of the good one anymore anyway.

 

I sprayed with 40-1 soap mixture and water.........I found out later I should have used anti bacteial hand soap


I ve collected 3 5 gallon pails to feed to the hens...they love them

 

just took this out side of the puppy....straight shot no effects...
