🔥🚒🇬🇧 Collection of vintage fire trucks, left abandoned in old farm buildings
These types of vehicles are more typically called “airport crash tenders” rather than “fire trucks/engines”. An airport crash tender is a specialised fire engine designed for airfield use.
These are 1970s/1980s Denis-Thorneycroft Nubian Major trucks. They were retired in the 1990s, replaced by the next generation of firefighting trucks.

Jen and I went to lunch today with my father and my siblings and their families. It was very nice to have everyone together. I took a couple of pictures on film so I’ll probably find out if they came out or not in a few years. You know how film is.
Bellana and Harry are out with their dad right now. They will eventually be coming to our house for dinner. Harry goes back to Vermont tomorrow, but Bellana is going to stay with us for a couple of days. Each of them being here for a few days is the best gift ever. I’m very happy to see them, whenever I get to see them.
Here’s a few random camera phone pics from throughout the day so far.
I ran a couple of errands this morning. One of them was topping off the gas tank in the car. Obligatory gas station pics:
Do cats celebrate Father’s Day too? Is Robin watching through the window, waiting for her dad to show up? Probably not.
Our neighbors might not be having the best Father’s Day. I thought I saw one of the firemen holding a carbon monoxide detector. I’m guessing they didn’t find anything as the truck was only there for about 10 minutes. Here’s hoping all is well for our neighbors across the road. Fingers crossed.

#Trucks #FireEngine #Old #Youth
The all famous (and controversial) #Jeremy_Clarkson once said that in his youth one could easily recognize a fire engine because it was a big chunky red truck that was labeled "DENNIS" on the front.
That in mind, here's how to recognize a typical fire engine of my youth. It's a big, slightly rounded red truck with a white band on it's side that says "FEUERWEHR".

1000 Day Album Challenge (#20) Television: The Blow-Up (1982) [20.01.24]
let me take you to the empty place in my fire engine…
The Blow-Up was recorded live at My Father’s Place in Roslyn, New York in March of 1978. it was released in 1982 by ROIR (Reachout International Records) available only on cassette. at the time ROIR was a cassette-only label. scanning their discography (https://www.discogs.com/label/18316-ROIR?sort=year&sort_order=asc), my count is that I owned five of their releases. I do believe this was my most cherished.
Television was a mainstay of the mid- to late-70s CBGBs scene that was ground zero to the creation of punk rock. they never achieved the mainstream success and cultural cache of Talking Heads, Ramones, Blondie, or Patti Smith. still they were the first from the scene to play the legendary club. they were kinda the advance team. in 1974, they were also the first to release a record, the single Little Johnny Jewel which extended over both sides of their Ork Records release. and then somehow, they were among the last to release an album, Marquee Moon (1977).
this tape is about the joy of rock guitar. which I guess in some respects makes it no different than the rest of Television’s limited output. first up is The Blow-Up which is a renamed cover of 13th Floor Elevators’ Fire Engine. just before Tom Verlaine begins singing you can hear someone in the crowd identify the song as Fire Engine. it seems obvious to me, from this song alone that this is a band in search of transcendence powered by a driving rock beat. the weaving interplay of Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd’s guitars blows me away.
there are a couple of more covers to mention. I never would have thought of Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door as a guitar song until Television showed me how limited my imagination was. I am realizing, perhaps for the first time, as I listen to his that their version is a Cortez The Killer for the punk rock generation. someone just shouted “go boy! go!” hey, that’s what I was thinking.
the tape concludes with a galvanic version of The Stones’ Satisfaction. John Piccarella and Robert Christgau wrote in the liner notes, “And Lloyd, always constrained by the necessity of getting his solos and rhythm riffs just right in the studio, goes nuts here--what he wanted to express on `Satisfaction' was so beyond his chops that he would regularly unwind his bottom E string, twist it behind the neck, and tense the guitar like an archer's bow, producing the unearthly noises preserved for posterity on this cassette.”
you may ask why is a punk rock band covering all of these sixties’ classics? unlike the later starting British punk scene which had the sense that they were destroying or leaving behind what had come before, the New York scene had a stronger sense of history. they viewed themselves as part of a continuum. think of Patti Smith’s gender-bending transformation of Them’s Gloria or Land in which she completely reimagined the classic, Land of a Thousand Dances. shit the Ramones and Blondie were grounded in sixties AM radio classic pop.
there is a particular standout here that is quite forward-looking. the near 15 minute version of Little Johnny Jewel is definitive. if this doesn’t do it for you then there really is no reason for you to checkout the rest of their music. it’s not for you.
as the song nears the halfway point it seems like it is coming to an end. the idea that they can take this interpretation further seems preposterous. in a near whisper, Tom Verlaine says/sings, “then he loses his senses” and we are off. it’s like a whole new song. having listened to this countless times I found myself in an excited state of anticipation as the midpoint change of pace approached.
Tom Verlaine’s performance here, by itself makes him one of my favorite guitarists ever. I truly am breathless as I listen and type. wow! I feel like the term lifechanging does not capture the hyperbole for which I’m searching. maybe on the next listen the right word(s) will find me.

#urbansketching expedition to Midtown Terrace today with the Sunset Sketchers.

A quick sketch of a fire engine in profile. Notes on colors ("red," "white," "yellow," etc.) as the truck was from another firehouse, loading equipment, and I knew I'd have to paint the ink sketch after it left.
