It's ok JT, he's always referred to me as a beer snob too. It's too bad... I'll have to go a weekend without good things like Dragon's Milk, Dirty Bastard, Vanilla Java Porter, or any sort of IPA.

I plan on heading to Deshler on Friday night some time, provided I have no flat tires or family emergencies as I have in the past. :lol:

This is actually a Late Summer Meet, as Fall doesn't start in our area until 9/22/14 at 10:29pm when the equinox occurs. :lol: :wink:

Sadly I have a wedding to attend on the 20th and will not be able to make it. Wish I could be there....
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.

I have something a little bit closer to home on the 20, but assuming it goes well, I'm thinking about heading down on Sunday...

Drove through Fostoria twice this weekend. Stopped in for an hour or so each time, park was thick with railfans traffic was heavy. Could have sworn I recognized a face or two but could not place them.

The park is holding up very well bathrooms are clean and well stocked. Did see an NS heritage unit from a distance leader on a CSX train that was sitting in C&O yard south end in the center siding, couldn't get closed to it, may have been the N&W unit. Also saw a Ferromex Leader on CSX.


Going to try to make it on Saturday got to make sure I have the boy with me that weekend.
What smells like lube oil and diesel.... Oh wait it's just my "Locomotive Breath"
