...At least not while I have my tug!
Seriously, he is relentless with that thing! He wants me to pull on it, but then he pulls back so hard I can't even hold on for more than a minute. I think tug has officially become a Daddy & Archie game.
I found this photo stored away on my computer (along with a million other photos) and thought I'd share this one. Harley was only 6 months old when this was taken.

Driving to Brindle to catch the logs running in their new path, the sun did a runner and illuminated the next field up! 70814 hurries down grade
...or should I call her "Jaws"? Midnight and a huge possum is on a line behind my fig tree. Scotties are hysterical and Clayton is a 60# black missile darting along the fence. No one will come in, of course, so I decide to use a pole to get it moving. Possum as large as a tom cat won't move along. A couple of pokes and it FALLS into my yard. I scream and jump backwards - deathly afraid of possums* - promptly falling on my tailbone followed by my skull bouncing on the hard dry lawn. Meanwhile under the fig tree, I hear the crunching of bones. Scotties will bark in frustration when the varmit is out of reach but they don't waste energy when on the varmit. Ruthless and efficient. Finally upright, when I turn the flashlight on the defunct possum, I see a little blind baby crawling on her. That's why she wouldn't move along the line. I'm not raising a possum. They can carry lice, fleas, mange, and rabies. Finally everything is boxed and bagged. All that's left is to wash Lizzie's beard before she cleans it on the rug and pain pill for me. I sit here typing this sitting on extra pillows. My bum is really sore but nothing got broken. The adventure never ends. July 2013.
* Before making a comment about the "poor possum" please understand - Lizzie is a terrier bred for a couple of hundred years to fearlessly attack vermin even as large as a badger. Her kind kept farms and homes safe and it is instinctual in her to do as she did. Plus, having grown up in S. Texas, I was raised as every child to fear and hate possums to stop us from petting the "kitty" under a bush. Otherwise, it would be multiple rabies shots in the stomach.

Abbie is a purebred English Bulldog, and these bullies are not the best swimmers. Even the doggie paddle is hard when your head is that big compared to your tail end!
This is the look Abbie gave me when she saw the river up at the campgrounds. She's looking at it like it might be a watery dragon getting ready to eat her up!
She plunked her butt down right there and didn't want to take another step!
Yesterday, the people in the car in front of me on the highway threw this puppy out of the window of their car.
No, I'm not joking.
They slowed down to about 30 mph, dangled it out the passenger side window, and tossed it into the ditch.
Of course I rescued it...what other option was there? Now I just need to find her a home...she's the sweetest little thing.

Brindle Heath Sidings signal box (known locally as Duchy) closed on 4th March 1984. Brindle Heath Junction can be seen to the left of the photo.
I had a request for a photo of my boy Cashus, so here he is... and yes, the deck has seen better days... it was originally painted green. I'm planning on repainting/staining it in the next couple of weeks.
Brindle Heath Junction signal box located between the Up Main (to the left of the signal box) and Down Connecting (to the right of the signal box) lines. Saturday 9th May 1987
Brindle Heath Junction signal box was a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company standard design fitted with a 76 lever Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company Tappet frame that opened 28th May 1899 replacing an 1887 built Railway Signal Company standard design signal box located on the Down side of the line on the opposite side of the Fast lines flyover bridge. The lever frame was extended to 84 levers in autumn 1902 and was replaced by a 100 lever London Midland Region Standard frame in 1952, the replacement frame being reduced to 60 levers in 1979. The signal box closed on 10th May 1987 when the Connecting line to Agecroft Junction signal box was closed and the line between Windsor Bridge and Walkden signal boxes was converted from absolute block to track circuit block. The redundant box immediately became a magnet for vandals who set it on fire by the end of the month
The signal box carries a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company nameboard, and below the 2x2 pane operating floor windows a row of single pane windows have been boarded over
The train is standing at 53 signal (up connecting home) which is carried on a three-doll balanced bracket with a tubular main stem. Under 53 signal used to be Irlam signal box 33 signal (up slow distant). The two redundant dolls carried (left to right) 63 signal (up connecting home to up goods via up slow) and 64 signal (up connecting home to up goods).
Visible in the distance is 54 signal (up connecting inner distant) which is beneath Agecroft Junction signal box 52 signal (up connecting starting)
The picture is taken from an embankment which formerly carried the Fast lines which passed over the Slow lines at Brindle Heath Junction. The Main lines in the picture were formerly the Slow lines until 21st November 1965 when the Fast lines were taken out of use between Crow Nest Junction and Pendleton Broad Street signal boxes
The cooling towers in the background belong to Agecroft power station which closed in March 1993
