Western Railroad Discussion > Good morning from the Smoky Valley!

Breakfast: B&E over easy with hash browns & a biscuit at the ‘Hitch ‘n Post’ was mighty tasty. A little OJ topped off with hot coffee and I’m good. So I walk over to help the Abilene & Smoky Valley excursion train greet the emerging morning of our 3rd annual “Great Smoky Valley Shootout”. Good morning, indeed!

Thanks for looking!

Sir Lance, 

You've flipped some numbers on the caboose.  I think it is 25466.   (I know, it was dark...) 

I thought I might mention that for those of us keeping score at home!
:)

(It is indeed the 25466, and is duly corrected)

Let's see now.... Hmmm... I can say this:
I'm announcing the formation of a new website service: "TPYOS R US!"
with the corporate charter headed with: "How to kep leeting silly tpyos slop through the craks"

OR... I can just repeat what I've said more than once before:
"I keep thinking I should fire my secretary. Until I realize that secretary is ME... :^(

Lance/991

(PS: somewhere along the line I learned that of you can't poke fun at your own self, you are not aloud to poke fun at anyone else... ;^)

I thought  " Dorthy " was the secatary ?

always classics showing up from you ... good thing you didn't stick around for a second cup of coffee, we would have been deprived of this wonderful picture

Nice shot, I can smell the coffee!

Nahhh.... That goofy *itch is still MIA after that little gust of wind we had a while back. I wish she'd at least send Toto back home.
The mutt was better company anyhow......

Explain the light in the center of the photo. A lantern or lighted marker?

Maybe this will help out a bit, eh Larry?
