Hoy es mi cumpleaños número 37! Esta foto está dedicada a todos quienes me han acompañado en todos estos años.
Today is my 37th birthday! This photo is dedicated to all who have accompanied me all these years.
EHV14 BL15HCC seen at Wandsworth working on route 37 towards Peckham.
The EHV class (the majority of them) are currently having a mid-life refurbishment in preperation of it's future allocation on route 91 in February next year.
Having been surplus from the 135, that was lost to then Tower Transit, now Stagecoach, the EHVs were used on many school routes or helping out for various events (Wimbledon, Birmingham etc.)
EHV14 became the first of the refurbished vehicles to enter service, which is currently working at Peckham either in use for the 37 or 197.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
That makes me think of two.
Last night my little shelter didn’t really do much but annoy the hell out of me - the wind blowing down the valley kept whipping the flaps back and forth - ARGH! Finally around 2am I got so sick of hearing them woosh together that I abandoned the tent for the back of the Jeep. A little cramped but a lot quieter.
I got up this morning and decided that I needed to stick around Zion for a bit longer - Angel’s Landing was calling me. I needed to exhaust some of these thoughts out of my mind. So I got up, took a dip in the freezing river and commenced the long climb up the mountain. As I went along and the terrain got steeper and steeper and the sun hotter and higher in the sky. It was strenuous and dangerous (which I’ll get to in a bit) and my legs now feel like jello but the payoff , the view, was definitely worth it. Just like yesterday at the Narrows - anything worth getting to isn’t easy.
Well I got up near the top and saw the last .5 miles of trail looming up ahead of me and thought “you have got to be kidding.” Right then and there I realized why it is named “Angel’s Landing” - probably because if you slip you die. The last section of trail was one of the scariest, yet exhilarating things I have ever done. The trail was about 3-4 feet across with 1,000ft drop offs on both sides…like walking the plank. There was a single metal cable strung between loose polls running the center - at times you had to stop and squeeze into a crevice while another hiker scooted around in the other direction. It was great though - ADVENTURE - like I’ve never experienced before.
I got to the summit where my mouth automatically fell agape in amazement and the camera just seemed like something so small and ill-equipped to do any justice to the view. As I was sitting there I heard a fellow hiker mention that he was from the Chicago area. We struck up a conversation and he knows where my cousin Melissa lives - His name was Pat Mooney and he teaches Physics, Chemistry and Earth Science to high schoolers. Most interestingly he has a friend who is a photographer in New Jersey that travels to small towns in the Carolinas on the weekends to photograph the people, and communities. Sounds like a very kindred spirit. Pat and I hiked down off of Angel’s landing sharing stories about America. We shook hands and parted ways at the trail head.
As I was walking back to my car I came across two more extraordinary people. What grabbed my attention was the baby blue ‘68 VW camper with the engine compartment propped open and a man elbow deep in grease - at first I though it was Rob from T or C, but then I saw a woman sitting in a chair next to the slider, feet up and reading “War and Peace.” I just had to hear their stories. So I walked up and introduced myself. Come to find out they are from Sidney Australia - up and over here in America traveling across the country. Now these two were my type of people. Steve Turner, originally from New Zealand and Johanna Brem, originally from Germany. They flew into L.A. without a plan, bought this old VW from a used car lot and set out across the desert for the summer. Now he’s two valves down, and quickly loosing a third… We sat and talked for three hours about everything - Zion, traveling, literature, history, etc… All the while Steve was tearing apart the heads on the VW and I lent him a hand here and there. Finally, Steve was convinced that he could make it out of the mountains for a partial rebuild somewhere and we began to part ways - I must have made an impression because they insisted on giving me their address and phone number back in Sydney - throwing in that they were only three blocks from the beach and always open to people crashing for days or weeks. I put the info into my journal and who knows, maybe someday I will look them up.
So here I am back in the campground where the winds is blowing worse then last night so this old backseat looks mighty inviting. Tomorrow I plan on dropping a call into the Last’s - maybe take them up on their promise of a hot meal and a soft bed?

MHV37 BV66VHG seen at Wandsworth, Southside Shopping Centre whilst working on route 37 towards Putney Heath, Green Man.
It's quite an oddity of a fleet number working on the same number as shown here. A lot of 63's MHVs do work on route 37 alongside the allocated YX12 Es and VHPs.

English Electric built Class 37 diesel locomotive No. 37215 on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire heritage railway on 9th July 2023.
But not the cash kind.
Yesterday I returned to work and by a total coincidence my second delivery of the day took me down the access road by the UK Rail depot to Leicester. My new iPhone came in handy.
On view in front of what appears to be a new part built shed are a couple of heritage class 37's from the early 1960's together with a rather forlorn class 60.
An early morning shot of todays ECS 5Z34 0905 Exeter Riverside New Yard to Newport Docks at rest after yesterdays adventures to Penzance.
The sun hadn’t risen high enough to illuminate the yards and the 37 would depart before she gets bathed in sunshine.
Messier 37 is the brightest of the three open clusters in the constellation of Auriga and undoubtedly one of the finest in the sky. It was discovered first by Giovani Batista Hodierna some time in 1654 but this remained unknown until 1984. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1764 independently. It contains 150 bright stars with a total of approximately 500. It has a magnitude of 6.2 with a diameter of 25 light years. It covers an area of the sky about the size of the Moon. It is at a distance of 4,600 light years.

Woodstock, Ontario Canada's brand new Skate/BMX Park!
When I was a teen here in Woodstock, the cops would bust our butts all the time for skateboarding all over but they would never give us a skatepark.. even after 3 or 4 petitions my friends and I put out. Now that i'm to old, we finally get one... go figure lol....
This is actually a really nice park! all concrete, complete with: Rails, stairs, quarter pipes, rollers, a Spine, ledges, some little whoop-dee-doo's as I like to call them.... and some nice bleachers for parents and friends to sit in to watch everyone ride. No admission, it's open to the public, ride at your own risk! This park is located in the lovely SouthSide Park so it has great scenery with the pond and hills and grass.
Happy Click Click everyone.
