In the mean time...

Catherine has been pretty busy with school and the end result is that our blog has been neglected. Blogging really isn't my thing, but I suppose I'll add something to hold you over. It's nothing surprising, just what I know, work and play. Where do we start first... how about work?

We've had some bad luck on the 'ole Union Pacific railroad here in Colorado in the first week of October, 2 derailments and a rock slide. 1 of the derailments was massive and we ended up staying on-site for 2 days getting the track back in service. The conductor of the train didn't fully release a brake on one car they picked up and it started dragging until it derailed, right on a switch. A total of 15 cars piled up, carrying varying loads. Here's a teaser shot, for the rest of them you will need to look at the link to our photo album.

And now some playing... after all that work, I needed a break. I ended up taking a big motorcycle ride spread out over 3 days. It was amazing, but I really missed having Catherine there to share the trip with me. Mabey in the future we can pick up a motorcycle for her, so she can come along. I posted the trip report on my forum, so click the link below to read more.
