On this day 55 years ago, James T. Kirk, Commander Spock and the rest of the USS Enterprise made their first appearance...

Though Nimoy as Spock was in the first pilot with Susan Oliver as the first green Orion dancing slave girl among other things. And Geoffrey Hunter as Captain Pike.

to boldly go where no man had gone before.

Splitting that infinitive on television was pretty controversial at the time, but I couldn't get excited about it.

I went to Vasquez rocks a few times where they filmed some of the episodes. Cool place. Great little day hikes all over with neat lichens and rocks. Stole this pic off the net.

Thanks for sharing that! Brought me back memories when I was visiting a friend of mine in Santa Clarita! Really neat place!

*Pack a lot of water if you are going there in August, lol.

Exactly! One more reason to never be a Red Shirt. (unless you're Scotty)

Scotty was a tough son of a gun.
Everything kept trying to kill him, but he survived every time.
Must have been all the Scotch he drank.

That looks like the one where a colony has been massacred and the lizard men in the Tarzan skins are still around. Our boys are about to get some mortars out of the arsenal to hold a line before returning to the Enterprise to give chase to the invader.

I went to a vintage tractor/steam engine show yesterday. Here's a couple of short vids of one of the steam tractors powering a rock crusher. These are the first intentional vids I've taken with my phone. Also the first time I've tried to put a vid on the interweb.
Here goes nothing

Very cool! My dad used to take us to the steam tractor show in Berryville, Virginia when we were kids. I just Googled it and it seems it is still being held each year.

I think you succeeded admirably! Very impressive belt-drive. Must have been incredible labor-saving technology at the time. I remember seeing the early mule-team-pulled combined harvester-threshers at a museum in Walla Walla Washinghton. Probably close to the same era as these steam tractors. Very cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.

The fires are driving them in all directions John and to places they don't normally go.

Actually, that little guy lives behind my house... he just got lost in the front.
I see his/her mom and brother/sister back there every so often ever since they were pups.

Love the wildlife pics John. My wife would feed them and I…well…would not. . Hope the new jeep is coming along and it’s getting where you want it. I just gave away a bunch of snatch blocks and a come along I didn’t need anymore. Miss my old cj sometimes still.

Thanks buddy.
I like living in the country, we get to see a lot of wildlife.
Haven't seen a mountain lion yet, but they are around too.
Jeep is coming along, I have the lift going in soon and I'm shopping for bumpers and winches.
I've never had a CJ, but always wanted a CJ5. The oldest I've had is a YJ. This new JL is my fifth Jeep.
