Trump is helping out C10 owners!

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8LFHJSu/
Anyone else hear what the Trump said about gas, fuel prices ?? He said " a 50% reduction in the price in 12 months ". Curious as to when that begins......... I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one to hear that. Had to ask..
 
I'll take the clone for $300k, Alex
Better get it quickly, tariffs coming soon ;).
I'm surprised it wasn't a MAGA hat.
Yeah, even biden was caught wearing one, and the first lady had a red dress on yesterday, sure the powers that be got a kick out of that.

Yes, oils already dropped too. Imagine that...
Largest one day gain (in points) in the history of the stock market.

I love hearing the excuses today.
Lots of tears, I bet kleenex stocks went up too 😂.
Did you see Elon wants to pull Ron Paul into the DOGE team.
 
I didn’t expect to see this on November 6… nor have 75° temperatures at 11 AM. Supposed to hit 78° later. It’s a small rat snake… 3’ max.

My son found a rat snake shed up near the ridge of the roof of the house we have under renovation. This while he was cleaning the gutters.

Why's he all krinkly?
 
Had an interesting conversation with my son last night. He got home from school, basically tossed him in the car and ran down to my logging buddies place. Asked him how his day was, he said his teacher was sad because of the election. I was a bit p.o. about that, as I strongly feel personal politics have zero place in school out side of political science/ history class. He went in to say she just told them that this is how the system works, the person you vote for doesn't always get elected. My boy claims that was as much as she said. If so, I guess that's OK. Still kinda annoyed me, but oh well, glad it wasn't worse then that.
 
Well, we got the truck all finished up, went to fit the pole in the bunks and had to move the loader out of the way..... never thought about the grapple bed and making sure we had enough room for it to sit in the bed right, since the last bunk is the same size cross tube.... long story short, this bed is 8" longer, so we split the difference front to back, which put the last bunk even with the rear of the frame, which changed the pivot point for the grapple bed. So now when you go to lower the boom, the grapple doesn't rotate around the tube right and catches. 🤦🏻 neither of us ever gave that a thought. So, we're going to have to lower the bed plate down. Which means I need to remove some wiring for the lights that go through a pipe that attaches to the bed plate.
Not a difficult job, but really put a damper on our mood. Guess it technically only matters when the truck is empty, and you can still chain the grapple down to the back bunk, but definatly not ideal. We'll fix it here this afternoon.
 
For strange things happing, this former Alaska Railroad GP49 wandered through WI 4 years ago:



On the scanner I heard the crew from that train talking to a eastbound it met a few miles away. The eastbound had a Quebec, North Shore & Labrador SD70ACu possibly rebuilt from a SD90 from BHP in Australia on it's way up to Canada.


Been a number of years since required but it still seems strange not to see a caboose

That seems ok to me if that's as far as it went. Would have been a good time to talk about elections, electoral college, polls and why they were wrong etc.

He's 6, so not really interested in politics just yet lol. All he knows is the guy dad voted for got elected or "in" as he keeps telling everyone.

Not counting a welded rail/MW work train I've seen 2 or 3 cabooses on road trains, though most are DODX cabooses going somewhere. The caboose in the video belonged to the same railroad that owned the ex-Alaska unit.
