Hi Tony sent you a PM. John

travelling in our motorhome prospecting/rockhounding/lapidary playing guitar and harmonica photography and my latest. I joined a civil war re-enacters group and am going train to be certified to be on the cannon crew.

Great scene Randy. Urban decay at it's finest.

It snowed for about seven hours straight a week or so ago. It's all gone now.

fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing it.

Happy Tanksgiving to everyone. I hope it's a great one.

Looks great to me. Nice job.

That was great thanks for sharing it.

You are correct. the couple years I was a brakeman thats exactly how we did it. Of course different lines could have other rules as well.
