On Tuesday a shortage of locos for the Combwich service meant that Bath shed had to dispatch one of its ‘Black Five’ Stanier 4-6-0 engines for use on the branch. And here we have 45440 departing the terminus heading for Templecombe with as usual just 2 almost empty coaches - because to be honest no one has any need to travel from nowhere to almost nowhere via nowhere in particular.
Later today, word of this unusual motive power for such a backwater of a line will get out to the enthusiast fraternity via the little known skill of ‘Geek Gossip’…..
Geek Gossip, now largely forgotten due to the internet, was/is incredibly fast, with it being able to travel at several hundred miles per hour. On one occasion it got from Leeds Holbeck shed to Swindon Works in just 12 minutes - I’m sure there were plenty of other similar records, but sadly unrecorded.
It works using a code of high pitched adenoidal squeals passed on from one enthusiast to the next. The squeals for an accomplished geek can travel up to 10 miles weather permitting before being passed on to the next enthusiast. Rules allow for a homing pigeon or telegram to be used if the enthusiast network fails due to mother banning squeals at homework or potty training time or deafness due to age.
Mouse is the geek chic girl in the family!! I want to slowly build a little wardrobe just for her with lots of geek chic clothes and gadgets!!!
I know its only day two but I love how ADAD is making me think more, spend more time and helping me be more creative taking pictures of the girls!!

I was trying to do two things at once and focusing is a big pain at f1.2 because depth of field is terrible. Just got lucky for once. (Or perhaps, it's good that they are geek girls because when you say stuff like, “You need to be equidistant from my lens because my depth of field is terrible” they get it.)
Every techie has one of these near his or her desk: the Drawer of Cables, Adaptors and Forgotten Technology.
Feel free to post yours with the "geekdrawer" tag and some notes. I'm also using the #geekdrawer hashtag on Twitter.
