First Day of Summer
A lot has happened since my last post. I went to graduation practice and then graduation on the 15th. I went to CB's party after. We had lunch with T & M.E. at Fullerton also. On Friday it was my last day at work (again!). Friday night we went to a concert at Pacific Amphitheter to see Huey Lewis and the News and Chicago. Great music!.
Saturday morning we were off to Ely NV to run steam engines. It was a long uneventful ride up. We stayed at the Ramada Inn. It was OK. On Sunday I ran #93 twice up to Keystone. The engineer Alan was cool, but didn't instruct much. On Monday, the engineer was Jason, a young kid, who know how to teach the air brakes very well. I finally figured out how to draw off 10 lbs. of air, use the lap position and bring the engine down the hill smoothly. Real nice fun.
We left immediately after the run for Jean NV at the Nevada Landing hotel. It also was OK. On Tuesday we were on the road at 7 and home at 11:15. All was well.
I have a couple of weeks off before the GJ meets.
Working around the house.
