I took this "Up a Tree" view shot when I got tired taking shots of those fascinating people canoeing and kayaking in MacRitchie Reservoir Park. I literally positioned myself with my big belly resting on this charming tree.
This is one of the series...

To be fair, I had to build EMD's Tier 4 test loco as well. Although this is billed as a Tier 3.5 loco, UP and EMD hope to learn much about Tier 4 possibilities through this unit. UP calls it an SD59MX; a rebuilt and modified SD60MAC. It was just funky enough to draw me back to the Armor Yellow. I didn't have to order a single part for this build, but I did borrow a few pieces from my son (Thanks Bo!). It was a nice challenging distraction from all those ES44ACs and SD70ACes I've been building lately.
Seen at the Standard Motor Club International Rally Denny Abbey 2007. Thought to be a civvy model in RAF livery

Union Pacific Railroad DC-3 at Lincoln, Nebraska on an unknown day in October 1956, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. The DC-3 was built by the J. G. Brill Company in 1928 as Detroit & Mackinac 201 on Order 22749. As built, it was powered by a Hall-Scott 300 horsepower gasoline engine and GE electrical gear. It was purchased by Teledetector Company of Chicago in 1954 (along with D&M 202, same builder and construction date), and converted to a rail defect detecter car. Apparently planning on competing with Sperry, only the 201 was converted and was sold to the UP in April 1954, becoming DC-3 (03000). The DC-3 was modified in August 1961 (renumbered 90300 but still displaying DC-3) and again in 1984. It was sold for scrap in December 1986.
Eastbound freight rounding the bend near Crates, a couple miles outside of The Dalles, Oregon. The Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge is in the background.
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...
From our hike last weekend. Rye the rock climber.
Sorry for all the selective color, I can't seem to get enough!
The Roe buck raced along the field following the rhyne alongside me in the car, offering up beautiful views as it raced through the undergrowth
The network of lines around the two smelters is very complex and on several different levels. Here #13 is on the main incoming line, crossing over a long-abandoned branch.

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.
Taken in the Museum of Science and Industry. Just a stairwell, but the geometric shapes were awesome.

Mating time for the seagulls at the moment and as they are very territorial at this time, I got dive bombed by them while sitting on the beach with my camera.

One of the more common items washed up onto the barrier beach at Advocate are shoes, sneakers, and flip-flops. Above the high tide line you can't walk a minute without finding some kind of shoe, or maybe just the sole.
