Day 14: Constructicons, weather and scaredy cats

[ayngelcat]

So just to continue the 'amazing sexy constructicon construction equipment' theme - some of THESE machines are truly incredible.

All this lot should have been in at least one TF episode somewhere - especially that spiderbot! How cute XD And the crane ... *flails...* Maybe this IS Scrapper and co - they got upgrades :) Except the spider - he's a blow-in.

It rained all day today on and off, with really high winds. From the office I watched part of a roof come adrift, and a large gate swing open and nearly bash a car - so it shows how careful we have to be when this sort of weather suddenly hits. I think people get complacent when its dry for long spells.

I couldn't wait to get home and putter about in the garden, which is very happy now. I transplanted about five cape gooseberries and they should get off to a good start.

Meanwhile, poor kitteh isn't impressed. He keeps looking angrily at the great outdoors like 'how DARE it be like this?' And he hides in a cupboard when the rain gets heavy or thunder threatens - dunno why, because he grew up in the north where there were storms all the time!

Wow, those are some impressive constructies! :D I was stuck in traffic at a construction area today and there was this ...thing, I have no idea what to call it, lol, but it had four little tread rollers for feet and a long conveyer belt thing sticking out in front like a giant neck and it was kind of adorable - I tried taking a picture through the window but it ended up with too much glare to really see.

I'm enjoying some nice rumbly thunderstorms rolling through tonight - doggy sometimes gets worried by the really big bangs, but kitties don't seem concerned. They like to watch the leaves blowing and rain. Yay garden puttering! I'm hoping for some hotter drier weather soon so I can stop mowing the grass and actually garden.

That sounds like a mobile ore processing plant - it takes iron (or other) ore loaded on to its belt into its innerds and scrunches it up, then spoits out the refuse. Yum yum. Seriously - there are big fixed in place versions of those that are more common.

At least, that's what it sounds like. I am no expert though!

Awww - kitties dreaming of chasing leaves. How adorable. I have no idea why Tigger has gone like he has. He's a wierdo sometimes! He did get hit by a car once - maybe he thinks the thunder is a giant somethingmobile coming to get him? XD
