UP 4884 being moved into the other shop by the track mobile. The boys a making sure it gets into the right place.
The line up at sunrise after a fatal pedestrian accident closed the Stuart Hwy for close to 12 hours.
BNSF 6183 is here at Ostrom and is about to shove back to Binney Jct after the train ahead pulled a drawbar.
I've wanted to update my old SD70ACe for a while so now seemed a good opportunity. I tried to keep some of the old design, but mostly better match the newer SP 70. Still 45 studs long, 6 wide and unpowered but with Talltim trucks now. I dropped the nose one plate from the SP because all that yellow made it look too tall. I left the original 'engine' inside as well to keep the access doors more interesting.
Another emotional picture of Nelson looking up. The colors are a bit strange due to the reflection of the window...
Hint: If you look at the large view you can see the first rays of sunlight hitting two of the pillars.
Project Soul Pancake - Week 7: Stay up all night
The latest Soul Pancake challenge was to stay up all night and I knew that while I could remember and reminisce about nights that I was still awake when the sun came up, I knew I could not complete the challenge now. I love my sleep. I get about 8-9 hours a night, so staying up all night sounds like pure hell to me.
When I was younger, It was fun and crazy and it didn't affect me the next day so much, but If I were to stay up all night now, at 41, I would be paying for it for days. So the only way I would stay up all night at this point in my life would be if I just could not sleep. Not voluntarily.
There are nights now where I get very little sleep if something is on my mind or I or one of my peeps are sick or something, and then I toss and turn and start to get very aggravated. The more I can't sleep, the more frustrated I get, making it harder to relax and fall asleep.
I know there will be challenges I can't totally 100% complete. But I can depict them in photos and think about what it would be like and toss things around in my head that normally might not be there and this is what I dig about this cool group.

A new collaboration with Lomography & The Photographic Journal
I’ve dabbled in film photography over the years but have always stuck to digital for the sheer volume of ideas I can create and execute. However, there’s a tangible quality I always love about shooting with film. It forces one to slow down and live in the moment. Also, the unknown aspect is liberating.
This shoot involved testing out the new Lomomatic 110 pocket camera. I’d never shot with a 110 film camera before so I set out to make some magic with mundane moments and a limited timeframe.

The new 5-door. The Up is apparently a well packaged car for its size, but I'm not a fan of the design or the name. Why didn't VW/Seat just reuse the Lupo/Arosa model names, they have a tradition of not changing them.
OK, so I've been looking for Boris & Natasha. I've been through two closets and no luck. Tonight I tackled the piano bench. What do I find? A pin up calendar. What?? Where did THAT come from? If my friend, Dorothy, did not give it to me, I have no idea. But, it's really pretty. Very 60's retro!

So you probably saw the pics of my Savers doll finds and here they are cleaned up. I fully intend to rebody both the Fashion Fever and Barbie Basic but I’m too lazy to play musical bodies atm.
My full blown doll collecting began as Fashion Fever started so finding Kayla was a huge nostalgia trip for me, though I did wonder at the time why both the dark skinned girl in both FF and Cali Girl had the exact same face but different names heh. Being a bit older I can appreciate her face screening a bit more now than when I first saw the FF and got upset that they got massive balloon heads… (collecting Monster High deflated that idea lol)
And yeah, Barbie Basics got me back into 1/6th at least partially so I did regret not picking up more of the girls when I had the chance.
And Secret Spells Kayla just reminds me to be on the hunt for all of the Raquelle bodies I can find.
The Famous Chain, up close! We have been searching for this chain for ages and finally found it, just like that. Great Shot Darkday!
Yesterdays PotD was a bit darker than normal ("The Dark Faerie") so todays is bright and colorful! This is another from yesterday when Aubrey was playing dress up. She put all of this on by herself! Quite the little fashionista!
