April 28
Big weekend coming up. Tomorrow we clean up 3751 and take the wax off the rods. We will also raise steam for Friday's Amtrak Employee Day. Saturday we are off to San Diego with an excursion. We spend Saturday night in SD and run another excursion on Sunday. I am listed as a trainee on the service crew . This ought to be fun.
MR and I went to the Pasadena Model RR Club for open house last night. Great layout. Memberships are available but they meet on Tuesday and Saturday's so that is out at this point.
Yanks are off to a better start than last year but have been cold this week. Lost one to Baltimore that they shouldn't have. Tonight is another game.
We have two vacations planned. MR is going to Buffalo and I am taking a MC ride to North Carolina. We will also vacation in New Jersey in June

We went to the Yuma Prison Run over the weekend. Nice ride down to Calexico for lunch and then over to Yuma. On Saturday we did Mexico at Los Algodones for lunch and beer. Saturday night we hit the strip bars and hung out again. Sunday we rode home via 86. Slower than normal. Must try 111 for the ride home next year.
Fast Eddie from the UK is staying with us for a couple of days.
The engine passed the tests on Friday so the trip is a go.

Yesterday was Bob Hutton celebration of life ceremony. The turnout was great and the speakers really had Bob's life pegged. I spoke about our trips on the motorcycle and all the places we had seen and laughs we had. All in all a wonderful send off.
We are working hard to get 3751 ready for San Diego on May 1. A hydro test and inspection is to occur on Friday the 16th. I am off to Yuma that day but I will be in on Thursday.
Today I went to town to refuel the tender. It took 4200 gallons to do it.

Rained like hell this morning and last night we had an earthquake centered near Mexicali. The house rolled for about 40 seconds and we had a bounce at 6 am this morning. Interesting times.
The trip to SD on 3751 is forming up very well. The SB trip the next week is a bit spotty. We shall see.
Busy week for us. Lodge Tuesday, Betty Haslett on Wednesday, Beatty run Friday and BH's memorial service next Sunday. Wow!
