  7. Yeah, May 25 it is traveling from Shreveport to Kendleton, and then on Memorial Day it is moving from Kendleton to Laredo. I can't make either of those, but I think June 12 is when it starts the trip back north and goes from Laredo back to Kendleton. Have a ton of kin folk down that way, El Campo, Wharton, Louise, so plan to make a day of it and find a good spot to film and get some pics. Sweet engine, plus those two diesel EMDs, love those.
  8. Too lazy to look it up, but Randy Travis has a new song coming out that is totally AI generated since the guy literally has no voice anymore

  10. <sickeningly sweet voice>Did you eat all the blackberries???? Fuck off you Katy aggy stepford wife, and your son has a Hitler youth haircut...
  11. Yeah, I've been watching him since last week. does a great job (did they ever adopt that black dog?). Also, (train nerd alert), Virtual Railfan has cams in both OKC and Wichita, if the shit hits the fan might get some good footage. They actually have lots of cams in the midwest (Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, etc) that are in the danger zone at one time or another... https://www.youtube.com/@VirtualRailfan/streams
  12. Marry a woman named Imelda, you're gonna be led down a dark path.
  13. And we get to "join" these fucksticks in a couple of months... (I know, they're already here...)
  14. Reading on Reddit, apparently she has a $25000 judgment against her from the Wisc, Dept of Workforce Development, and her partner has a 4 year domestic violence (with a firearm) restraining order against him, lovely people. Dollars to doughnuts, her business is about to go under anyway, this way she can blame it on Biden and use the cause celebre to parlay it into some form of grift, either a Joe the Plumber type deal or run for office like the covid hair stylist up in Dallas, Shelly Luther, is that right? She'll be the darling of the OAN/Newsmax crowd for a couple of weeks. Regardless, the grift is the goal.
  15. And also, last week we lost Mike Pinder, from the Moody Blues. He WAS the sound of the Moodies, that Mellotron was on everything.
  16. Probably not deserving of a separate thread, but Richard Tandy, keyboardist for ELO, passed away yesterday. Unsung member for sure. RIP sir. Here he is on keyboards and also the "weeping" lead guitar solo as well.. so many subtle synth parts bubbling around in this one, and the telephone ringing, created with a Moog..
  17. Pretty interesting, I read up a little more on it and watched a couple of YT videos. Every June a new tripod is built, so the one I saw last year was brand new. In March, they take it apart, drag it out on the ice and put it back together. It's made out of spruce logs (I thought it was metal...). A cable is attached to the top of the tripod and runs to the tower on the bank. It has a set of pulleys, so the cable is actually rather long, with a bucket at the end. The tripod does not have to fall into the ice for the contest to end, the cable just has to be pulled far enough, around 100 yards, for the bucket to be pulled all the way to the top of the tower, that sets off a siren and stops two separate clocks keeping time. The video below, the ice from upstream finally caught the cable and dragged it far enough to raise the bucket, well before the tripod ever finally went into the water. Pretty cool.
  18. Saw this on a train FB group, and this is a small one... Edited to add: here is the full video, you can hear them slowly get more and more nervous.. From the conductor: "I am a 27-year conductor with the same railroad company. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me while on a train. This happened while sitting stationary waiting for signal to continue westward. This happened during the afternoon hours on May 26th 2024. The Nebraska tornado outbreak. The tornado blew over and derailed 31 cars. The engineer and I were unharmed."
  19. nsiap, you gotta wait for it...
