27-28 miles biked on MOT, CRT, RC and PCT.

Mmm Penn Station French fries well done nom nom

took a sport trip with high school baseball. coach not on bus yet. the language they used about some passing girls was disgusting. I had no doubt they felt it was appropriate behavior. I walked back and made sure they understood what I would do if they had any more judgment lapses.

That’s unfortunate Jet but I’ve been through a few of those over the years too

Attended my nephew’s baseball game in Clarksville. They played a team from Portland. The Portland team was very un-sportsman like. I felt bad for both teams. Twas disgraceful the amount of personal taunting and jeering coming out of the Portland dugout. The coaches allowed it and the umpires were intimidated by the Portland coaches and did nothing to stop it. One of the mothers of one of the lake odessa players was crying after the game. I have not seen anything like it at a ball game before. Portland won but lake odessa was a worthy adversary.

I went one way in a Roomette from Dallas-Chicago-Battle Creek in 2020 and it was a little less than 500.

We did a bedroom round trip to Battle Creek - Chicago- Los Angeles and returned from Flagstaff-Chicago-Battle Creek 2015. I want to say the round trip was about 2200 bucks.

15.53 miles. 18.3 avg mph

Bikey complete. https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7937814028

for a roomette

I think when I did CHI-LA on the Chief 10 years ago it was about $500 one way

Woof

Amtrak - I booked a sacramento to Grand rapids ride 5 years ago for 4 people in 2 roommettes for less than you currently offer a single rider a single roommette for. y u no affordable? They want $1313 for a one-way trip on California Zephyr

Daughter soccer game tomorrow is team versus their parents. That'll be fun to try to compete against these girls. She's in the lion king play afterwards, then helping a friend open his cottage near Millington Sunday, gonna get some kayak time in. High in the mid 80’s, good to be on a lake.

daughter soccer game yesterday versus the advanced travel soccer team. Somehow we won 4-2. They accidentally scored on themselves when passing the ball back to the goalie, think it took the wind out of their sails.

Pixl is still around, just has only posted once this year: https://railroadfan.com/phpbb/memberlis ... ile&u=8816

Had fun at softball games in Marshall yesterday despite the two brief rain showers.

I have not seen PIXL James Sofonia in quite a while either.

I do miss Rodney knack for details like letting us know the school district the Where is it? was in

railrod1949 last active jan 19. the good news is no obituary with his name found. hope he’s doing well.

does bill from sri still come around

Hey ive been wondering about a couple of michigan railfans i havent seen post in awhile...whatever happened to that older guy from waterford. I forgot his name

LOL yes, perhaps I did.

Sorry AARR. Perhaps you peaked too soon?

Now, I’m more than double those times.

I don’t know how the distance translates but in high school I ran the half mile, mile and two mile in 2:30, 5 and 10 respectively. I know it’s weird that I didn’t have faster intervals on the shorter distances.

Question of the day. Should I sit at hotel for 5 hours or go look around for more tren. Could easily see tren at clearin yard.

wakey

YES!

Those are very respectable times

2:38 for the 800 meter and 13:39 for the 3200 meter. He certainly just enjoys running, which is what's really important.

What were his times?

correct

appears jetlink is riding through some storms in florida, an hour behind.

Got up in my friends Piper Pacer today, did some pattern work at PTK

Now onboard flight 2771 deadheading to Chicago.

so they make it so the bridge doesn’t close for only one train whenever possible.

they are under pressure to not open the new river drawbridge just to the north like they had been doing. they risked having the coast guard set the rules for opening. water traffic has the legal right-of-way.

Choo Choo coming your way, Z

Well maybe not gross. But they were certainly not good

Enough train chat though. I ordered nachos for lunch and they were gross
