I found this in the back alley behind my work. Funny thing, I don't know if that thing really works because my penis wouldn't fit in the box. Hmmm...

The Great Western Steam Up was held on the grounds of the Nevada State Railroad Museum from July 1 – July 4, 2022, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. Nine operating steam locomotives were featured with many more on display. The event was billed as the largest reunion of existing V&T locomotives in over 75 years.
Daily events included rides behind visiting narrow and standard-gauge steam locomotives, a daily pageant of steam locomotives, historical vehicle and equipment displays, local food trucks, live entertainment, and “lost art” demonstrations.
This image is from the third day of the event, July 3.
The featured locomotives were:
Glenbrook, narrow gauge 2-6-0 (Baldwin 1875) built for the Carson & Tahoe Lumber & Fluming Company and used at Glenbrook, Nevada, along with an identical twin, Tahoe (see NCNG 5, below). It last ran in the 1920s and was acquired by the Nevada County Narrow Gauge for parts. In the 1940s it was placed on exhibit at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City and beginning in 1981 was restored to service (completed in 2015). It has been returned to its 1875 appearance.
No. 1, Joe. Douglass, narrow gauge 0-4-2T (H. K. Porter 1882) built for the Dayton, Sutro & Carson Valley Railroad. It operated at a mine in Dayton, Nevada, and later helped build Lake Arrowhead dam in California. It was cosmetically restored to its present appearance in 1994 and is displayed at the Nevada State Railroad Museum. It is a wood burner, but not operational.
No. 1, narrow gauge 0-4-0T (Porter 1889) built for the Sacramento Brick Company. It was later acquired by Hal Wilmunder and operated on his private Antelope & Western Railroad near Roseville, California. The engine is now owned and cared for by the Wilmunder family, and can usually be seen at the NCNG Museum in Nevada City, Calif.
No. 1, standard gauge 2-truck Heisler (Heisler Locomotive Works 1916), built for Bluestone Mining & Smelting. It originally worked on a 2.5 mile line near Mason, Nevada, before being acquired by a quarry in California. This oil-fired locomotive is owned by Chris Baldo and sees frequent use at Roots of Motive Power in Willits, California.
No. 1, Lyon, standard gauge 2-6-0 (Gentry/Strasburg/Kloke) which is a partially completed replica of the first locomotive built for the Virginia & Truckee. The original was manufactured by the Union Iron Works of San Francisco in 1869. The full-scale working replica was donated to the Nevada State Railroad Museum by Stan Gentry, builder, and is being completed by the museum shop staff. It will burn wood as did the original.
No. 3, standard gauge 0-4-0T (Porter 1909) built for the Santa Cruz Portland Cement Company. Upon retirement it was used as a billboard for a chicken restaurant in Stockton, California. It was restored to service by Stathi Pappas beginning in 2006 and is currently located at the Placerville & Sacramento Valley Railroad in Folsom, California. Nicknamed “Chiggen,” it is oil-fired.
No. 4, Eureka, narrow gauge 4-4-0 (Baldwin 1875), built for the Eureka & Palisade Railroad. Retired in 1938, it was later featured in several Hollywood movies. This classic wood-fired locomotive was restored by Dan Markoff in the 1980s and is usually kept at his home in North Las Vegas, Nevada.
No. 5, Tahoe, narrow gauge 2-6-0 (Baldwin 1875) built for the Carson & Tahoe Lumber & Fluming Company and used in logging service. It was later sold to the Nevada County Narrow Gauge of Grass Valley, Calif., and was retired in 1942. It then appeared in numerous movies and TV shows for owner Universal Pictures. No. 5 is now part of the NCNG Museum in Nevada City, Calif., and was restored to service in May 2022. This oil-fired locomotive has been restored to its 1940s appearance.
No. 8, standard gauge 4-4-0 (Cooke Locomotive & Machine Works 1888) built for the Denver, Texas & Fort Worth Railroad, and later operated on the Dardanelle & Russellville in Arkansas. It was used in 1976 on the V&T tourist railroad at Virginia City. Oil fired, it last steamed in the early 2000s.
No. 11, Reno, standard gauge 4-4-0 (Baldwin 1872) built for the Virginia & Truckee. The most renown of all V&T’s Americans, the Reno was retired in 1937 and sold to a movie studio. It spent over fifty years at Old Tucson Studios in Arizona before being acquired by the V&T tourist railroad of Virginia City, Nevada, in 2021. It is currently under restoration. Oil fired.
No. 12, Genoa, standard gauge 4-4-0 (Baldwin 1873) built for the Virginia & Truckee. It was a back-up locomotive to the Reno and was retired in 1908. For the past 40 years it’s been on indoor static display at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. It last ran in 1979 and was never converted from burning wood to burning oil, like most V&T 4-4-0s were.
No. 18, narrow gauge 4-6-0 (Baldwin 1911), built for the Nevada-California-Oregon and last used by the Southern Pacific. Restored by Carson & Colorado Inc. in 2017 after being on display in an Independence, Calif., park since 1954. It is normally kept at the Eastern California Museum in Independence. Oil fired.
No. 18, Dayton, standard gauge 4-4-0 (Central Pacific Sacramento Shops 1873) built for the Virginia & Truckee. Ran on the V&T for nearly seven decades before being acquired by a movie studio. It was cosmetically restored for display in 1982 by the Nevada State Railroad Museum. Oil fired.
No. 21, J. W. Bowker, standard gauge 2-4-0 (Baldwin 1875) built for the Virginia & Truckee. Bowker served as a switch engine in Virginia City. It was later purchased by the Sierra Nevada Wood & Lumber Company. Wood-fueled but not currently operational, it has been exhibited at the California State Railroad since 1976. An oil burner, it is not currently operational.
No. 22, Inyo, standard gauge 4-4-0 (Baldwin 1875), built for the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. It served in passenger service and was nicknamed “Brass Betsy.” It was later sold to Paramount Pictures and appeared McLintock, Union Pacific, and The Great Locomotive Chase. Restored to operation in 1983 and currently housed at the Nevada State Railroad Museum. Wood fired.
No. 25, standard gauge 4-6-0 (Baldwin 1905) built for the Virginia & Truckee to handle both freight and passenger trains. It was the first new steam locomotive purchased by the V&T and replaced older 4-4-0s on the passenger run between Reno and Carson City. Oil fired, it was restored to operation in 1980 and sees frequent service at the Nevada State Railroad Museum.
I try to enjoy my work to the maximum or else nothing would kill our wits rather than work.
This week we had some issues and was able to resolve it successfully by today. So thought of having some fun!!! Took this snap from my workplace!
Nowadays i am little worried that i am not able to balance my work and personal life.
Note:
I didn't do any PP to this photo other than adding the borders. :)
Happy Weekend Friends!!!

I'm no great follower of the phrase: "If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life". The intended sentiment is obvious, that life is more meaningful when you spend your days doing something of personal value. But the implication is that work itself in the enemy. When I was younger, that's how I felt. Every job I'd been presented with was beyond the capacity of either my body or my mind. Tossing hay bales, running cable, or sitting at a desk for hours on end. At the end of a day, I felt either exhausted or depressed – often both. I didn't understand that the work itself wasn't wrong, just wrong for me.
This week, I watched a wonderful new movie called "Perfect Days". There isn't a lot of actual plot, but it manages to capture the purity in an ordinary working existence. The main character, a sixty-something man in Tokyo, cleans public toilets for a living. His days are simple, and rather repetitive. The first half of the story is mostly spent in establishing this. But what it reveals is someone deeply content and strongly passionate, despite his nearly-silent nature. He appreciates books, music, and light through the leaves. He takes photographs with an old film camera, mostly of the treetops, though he never shows them to anyone. His dreams are vibrant every night, and he wakes up content.
I don't believe that you can ever be free of work, and if anything, you'll be happier seeking it out. The beauty I've found with my daily journal is what's kept me working 7 days a week, these past 6,259 days of my life. Make no mistake, it feels like work indeed. Often a hike goes on hours past the point when I'm totally exhausted, and I can't rest with night coming on. Maybe my stack of books to sign and mail leaves my wrists and shoulders aching. Could be my bad back has been asked to sit too long, at my keyboard or in my car. Perhaps my heart feels heavy, and the effort of lifting words to the surface is a drag. Despite that, I love what I do. It's work by any definition, but wild with meaning.

With a no ruled line refill of Filofax which remained, I made an original day planner. The back side is a memorandum type. It is completely page 1 version for one day.
made some new 'mario question' block stickers, man they take a while to make, but they seem to be worth it, i wonder whats holding me back from making a stencil?
anywho, been busy working the 2 jobs while trying to fix in some alone time for art and stickers.
I just sent out 7 packs of stickers, each containing an average of 15 sticks. but now that i am done people been hitting me up for more, my never-ending story, haha. Well now i got about 5 new people and a sticker show that ebliss is putting on, plus i wanna send out some more to close buds...so if you know who you are hit me up now before i forget!
Sorry for the long post, but its like my diary i suppose? I got some new shots (even more whenever the weather gets nice), some new paintings and a super secret coming up that i think is pretty cool shit!
take care, and feel free to leave a super long comment, i would love to read them at work instead of doing work!
cheers

The work atmosphere was not pleasant, to say the least. Poor Greg never had a chance.
Sorry for the blur: it's amazingly hard to hold a camera steady when you're about to pass out from the heat.
In very poor light, I was surprided that this shot was even usable, but the blur on the guy using the saw ...sort of adds a bit of action to an otherwise fairly dull picture ..
Tell me what you think.
A la luz muy pobre, me surprided que esta foto era aún utilizable, pero la falta de definición en el hombre con la sierra ... un poco, añade un poco de acción a una imagen de lo contrario bastante aburrido ..
Dime lo que piensas.

I'm working on this new girl. I've been trying to improve my carving, so I don't know how will be her final aspect.
Not nearly so tasty as yesterday! LOL! :D
