End of January
Worked very hard the last two weeks on 3751. Replaced the pedistal liners on the tender, recoupled the engine and tender and took all the brake rigging off of the MHC trucks. Next is cleaning out the firebox for the annual tests. It looks like all we will run this year is to San Bernardino and Train Days at LAUPT.
The trip to Rock Island is toast, so MR has booked us onto a Baltic cruise. We fly to NY and London business class and coach to Stockholm Sweden. We spend a night there and board the Silver Seas crusie to Estonia, Russia , Finland and Denmark. We fly to London and businss class to LA. Leave July 7, return July 18.
I don't know about a motorcycle ride this year. Dan and Steve want to go to Sturgis but I have to be around for Jessica's wedding on the 12th of August.
We will see.

Busy week
Monday we changed on the pedistal liners on the tender. It took us six hours. It was a lot of work. On Saturday we reconnected the engine and tender lifting the pins from a pit at Redondo. It was even harder work.
The weather has been beautiful. MR is hot on the trip to the Baltic Sea. It should be fun. Other than that not much is new

Elected
Secretary to the SBRHS. How about that. Byzantine politics in the group. I always wonder why people join a non-profit to play political games. It is really lost on me.
We went to the AT after holiday party. Fun time.
Had lunch with Nan and Robert.
Had dinner with Bob and JoAnne.
Party time is over for a bit.
I will the weather would warm up

Four Aces
Today's date written numerically is 1-1-11. This happens once a century. It is also the number of the Timken Rolling Bering's 4-8-4 demo locomotive 1111. Gone but not forgotten.
