That is one long train.
Today I had a tree company take down two Ash trees that were in danger of landing on our garage roof. Ours was rotted 20 feet up and too dangerous to climb to drop the top in pieces. The other one in the video was my good neighbors Ash that was also on its way out and leaning our way. I offered to pay to take it down and told him why. He offered to pay for the removal but I refused. I already cleaned up his tree and chipped the branches. The bucked up wood is in my future splitting pile. Then the rains came. Mine will get cut up another day. The first picture was his tree. The last picture is mine

I’m 30 min east Winchester, Just came through Johnson City after Thanksgiving. The devastation just east of there was epic.

Epic falls short…
I have family in Marion NC which is east of Asheville. Complete destruction is sadly the words used. Her BF works for me, he was down visiting her. Had flown into Asheville. Couldn’t get back to the Airport as I40 was washed away. Poor kid lost his room at the hotel he was at due to misplaced families. Ended renting a car to get home.
Her college shut down for two weeks.
My brother in-law on my recommendation bought a MS250 (yes uncle Mike, I suggested a Stihl) and has been running it non-stop in his free time.
Only upside, the insurance check came quickly for him
when I go to the C10 Fallfestival in NC my stopover is Winchester . I stay at the Candy Hill campground . Next year I’ll give you a shout out and have meet up
get you one of these for your new shop , have you been a good little boy, lol , ps pops bar tip rivets with ease to ,
Yea, I saw it this morning and forwarded it to my brother and my nephew.
I'd get one, but they only come with automatics, and they don't have any back seats (due to the advanced suspension revisions). Besides, I may not be on the list of Ford eligible buyers!
I'm thinking it would be nice to have a regular Mustang GT with those body effects! Would make a nice head turner!
You are correct, thanks for pointing that out. I’ve never heard anything negative about BRCC so that was the reason for my comment.
I think I saw the price tag. $300,000
Yea, but it will beat up on high performance cars that cost 2 to 3 times that amount.I think I saw the price tag. $300,000
Plus, it is a Mustang! It was like the time I saw the guy with the Ferrari having difficulty tuning his multiple carbs.
I told him it would just be easier to have a 427 Ford engine in it (like I had in my 70 Boss 302 body that I was driving at the time).
The Ferrari guy did not say a word ... every motorhead knew that Ford GT-40s (with 427 Ford motors) came in 1,2 and 3 in the 1966 24 hours of Lemans.
My daughter and I did not get anything over the weekend, but we both saw deer (usually white flags leaving fast), but we did have an adventure!
Thank goodness for Blizzaks! 14* Saturday morning, and a new inch of snow each day we were up there!

CP/CPKC has been known to run long trains (thanks to Precision Scheduled Railroading/PSR) their defect detectors even give out the length in feet. But where I was at for this train my scanner doesn't always get the detector to the west of town.
This BNSF stack train was 2 trains put together when the crew of the priority intermodal (the second half of the train) ran out of hours and the other stack train was added to it to get it to another crew change point.
Started to back fill the first half of the trench still need to dig to the house but the rain is hampering the job .Had a section collapse glad the pipe wasn’t in that section . I’m using sand about 4-5 inches over the pipe and a 2 inch base under it . There are so many large rocks in the dirt I dug out I was afraid they would damage the pipe as I backfilled 
To be clear, I was talking about BRCC being woke and anti 2A.

I did some reading on this. Much to my surprise they did fund a bunch of liberal politicians

Interesting Green front locos. Do they have the name "Hindenburg" painted on their sides?

This is two little piggy's that didn't make it to the market, time to put more meat in the freezer!
Not sure how much of "what", we will make out of them.

Last day of vacation.... realized I had a mouse in the shop last night. My wife couldn't remember where she put the mouse traps. (Usually means she threw them out.) Ran i to town to get new ones. All they had were the stupid plastic ones and the old style with the stupid plastic trigger. Ended up buying a 4 pack of them. Got home and bated them. Not nearly as hairy as the old style trigger. Went about clearing off the red trailer for one of my buddies. Cut up a bunch of slab wood I had been storing on it, stacked the tin out back, found a bunch of 1/2" pine boards, tossed them off to the side, and a few misc boards that I thought would work to replace the rotten boards on the little deck over. Parked the red trailer, then pulled the deck over to the shop. Yep, nope. It just needs a new deck. The more boards I took off the more I wanted to replace in the dove tail, and the main deck is rough in spots. Guess it's just that time. That deck has been on there since 2010, doesn't owe me a thing. Think it's going to end up being a spring/ summer project.
checked my mouse traps, and all the bait was gone, and none of them were set off...... went in the shop fridge and dug out a peanut butter cup, ate 3/4 of it and spread the rest all over the stupid giant trigger plate, tried my best to set them to go off really easy, and laid them back out.
Looked on the Interweb, and found I could get a 12 pack of the old style trigger traps for $12.00 off the companies website. Ordered a pack for future use.
Went back out side and re graded the property kine side of the shop. I noticed water was pooling near the center of the building foundation. I had a small pile of road millings I used to fill in the hole and slope everything to run away from the shop. Mind you it's been raining the last 2 days, on and off today so it was pretty muddy back there. The millings helped a good bit, and I finished just in time for the next rain storm. Everything seems to have worked out pretty well. Just checked and don't see any water puddling besr the foundation, and it looks like I did pretty well getting the water to run to the back of the shop and over the hill.
Checked the traps again and found this little bustard.
Sucess!!! Tossed him and reset the trap. Going to keep them baited for a while and make sure I got them all....
