Decided to go out Saturday because the weather was supposed to be cooler, and cloudy. Well it was cooler 85f. But zero clouds. I swear I'm going to move to a state that has clouds.
Got to my first spot, and found out they have now fenced the entrance path to the spot. A GIANT field with a path leading to my spot is not completely fenced. forcing me to walk about an mile out of my way to get to the spot. Yeah, I could have easily jumped the fence, walked through and jumped the next fence. There was so much traffic in the area I could just walk around. I need the exercise anyway.
The long walk to my spot took me pretty close to one of my favorite bridge spots, so I decided to hike up a bit and see what was new. A few new pieces and a few old favorites that were still there, un-touched. Those are in today's upload as well.
Got to my spot finally. This spot has a homeless "issue" but I've had nothing but pleasant interactions with anyone who's approached me. Mostly I think they are just curious what I'm doing out there for 5-6 hours standing around in one spot. As soon as I say "the trains.." they always go "oh, cool." So every time I go there I always take inventory of all of the people who are out there so I know where to keep an eye out. Got there at like 10:15AM and I see a guy coming out from under a tree about 200' away. Moving slow, and carrying a box. Moving the box from one place to another, then another box, etc. I'm not worried about this person.
About an hour into my session, I see a guy walking along in the wash below.. Looks about 60-65, with no shirt, and is about as tan as you can get. This guy has obviously been in the desert sun for a while. After a couple of minutes he gets to me, throws out his hand and introduces himself as "Jeff". Asks how I'm doing and what I'm doing out there. I said "the trains" and he nods. Says he's headed up to the gas station down the tracks and up the road, and asks if I want him to bring me something to drink. "nah, I'm good", "OK, see ya'" Oh, forgot to mention, Jeff had a fixed blade knife about 12" long strapped to the front of his belt. I also carry a knife when I go out, just in-case so I understood his carrying of a knife and seeing it didn't faze me.
Spent about 4 hours at that spot, and hit up another spot on the way home and flicked some other amazing pieces.
Was a great day out, and I had fun. Isn't that what it's all about!!? I even managed to flick some pieces from some of my favorite writes I haven't seen before!
Also witnessed a procession of like 100 Honda Groms and other motorcycles rolling by: youtu.be/H4uLI_EupHU
Thanks to all of the writers and fellow benchers. Stay safe out there. Look both ways before crossing!!

As usual, I'll be by in a few days to start #tagging pieces that that I recognise or can figure out. If you spot any errors, just let me know.
Just a shot of all the pieces drying after being painted with Rustoleum hammered metal spray paint on the top sides and pipe surfaces. The bottoms were painted with leftover flat black and several coats of clear coat.
Here is the coin door with the Rust-Oleum hammered paint applied. I had actually applied several coats before, but had to sand them down due to unevenness and other imperfections. The goal is to make it look brand new, so a few more coats and sandings should even all the imperfections out. I hope.

Breaking Away Masi Bike Replica. Rustoleum Paint Job.
There were three bikes used in the movie Breaking Away. Dennis Christopher's bike and one ridden by Garry Rybar (Dennis's double). The third was the pump through the front wheel crash bike, a Sears Free Spirit. This replica was inspired by the fake Masi crash bike.
Candlesticks are an essential item for any Christmas table setting. Again, it doesn't matter what material you're painting – be it wood, metal or plastic – the paint is compatible. We took some previously painted metal candle holders and sprayed them with Rust-Oleum Metallic Bright Gold and added a set of red candlesticks.

The Rustoleum "Biscuit" Appliance Epoxy paint matches VERY well on this 3 yr old Scamp.
Still looks good after 3-1/2 more years! (Proven)
I made this for my good friend, @hollimom.
This piece of art features "Team 7," or Snow White's Dwarf family from the ABC show Once Upon A Time. This is a photo team 7 took for all of us Oncers and Team 7 fans.
It's the largest piece I've made ( roughly 5x7ish ). For the background, I used Tim Holtz's Grungeboard and distressed it with Ranger Distress Inks, Adirondack Alcohol Inks, Ranger Distress Crackle Paint and Ranger Distress Stain.
The sticks are from my own back yard and were painted with Rustoleum hammered metal paint. I think the color is brown or bronze. Not sure.
The picture is "stitched" with black embroidery floss.
To finish, I put a light coat of Mod Podge over the image so as to protect it and to give it a more glossy look.

This is the floor in front of the hood after about 2 hours of wet sanding with 80-grit. It's quite a mess, but at least this dust isn't in the air, or worse, in my lungs.

Saturday, out on a beer run, brought the camera and ran out to one of my spots, flicked one train. I waited for another further down the line, but it was taking forever, and it was hot so I drove back home.
BUT!! It actually turned out kinda' cool, because I caught a bunch of railroad equipment on its way to repair some tracks down the line. To be dropped off somewhere in the middle of the desert, where guys in orange or green vests' in hard hats with clipboards will point at other guys to "Get to work!" and yell incoherent instructions. Was happy to see this equipment roll by on a Saturday to reminds me that I had one more day off before going back to work.
As always, thanks to the Writers, my fellow Benchers and Railroad Workers across the globe. You're all doing good work!
Stay safe out there guys!!

After cleaning up the garage after a marathon 48 hours of bodywork, I got my painting supplies ready.
