<p>Soooo, I may have accidentally rm'd something that I wasn't meant to and I've had to rebuild the instance hosting this blog.&nbsp;</p><p>For some reason the photography section is throwing errors so that's something I need to fix.</p><p>Oh and Tech and Disability got wiped so I have to build that again.</p><p>Sigh.</p>

And we shall never speak of this again

Got out of the house today and went down to Bass Point to have lunch with Awesome Wife. While I was there, I decided to take some photos of the Bass Point Gravel Loader.

While I was there, I decided to take some photos of the Bass Point Gravel Loader.</p><p>The Gravel Loader is connected to a nearby Quarry and used to allow the quarry to load directly onto ships. Unfortunately it hasn't operated since 2011 and they're talking about pulling it down/rebuilding it due to structural issues.</p><p>I've created a Gallery - <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://angrybeanie.com/gallery/bass-point-grain-terminal">Bass Point Gravel Loader</a></p><p>At some point I would love to fly the drone over and around it, there would be some awesome footage.</p><p>I also have an RSS feed of Gallery Images if you would like to follow that - <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://angrybeanie.com/feed/gallery-image-feed-feed.xml">https://angrybeanie.com/feed/gallery-image-feed-feed.xml</a>.

<p>If you're reading this, then I have been kidnapped and the kidnappers are demanding the release of ALL of the Star Trek Ships as Lego kits. Not saying I agree with them, but yeah?</p><p>Well actually no, I'm just testing the cms for the Angrybeanie site now that it's all be brought across from Linode.com to Binarylane.com.au</p>

Okay well here goes nothing
