Lower falls
Standing on a rock capturing the lower falls here at babcock. I got a call last night after my daughter went home. Her front spoiler had come loose on the interstate could I come help. So @ 10:30 last night I was jacking her car up and repairing the lower raditor paner ~ 3'x8' that was held on by 2 bolts not 8... I got her home and will repair this weekend HAGD Folks. FYI. I may be a bit scare through the 31st as we start moving and cleaning my daughter tomorrow. We have to be move and out by the 31 and she is 90 mi away so a trip for us every day. Have a lovely week folks. 12/26

Decorated Caboose
I spotted this caboose on the trip home on the side of the road and had to stop and capture a picture 12/17
Info from Rick Rick Willis:
Best Info I could find on this Caboose: This Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad was also known as the Chessie System which also operated the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and several other small regional railroads. The Chessie System itself did not own any locomotives or other rolling stock; rather, equipment would be placed on the roster of one of the component railroads. While all of the companies shared a common paint scheme of yellow, and blue, actual ownership of the equipment was denoted by the reporting marks C&O or B&O. This Chessie System caboose features the famous "Chessie" the kitten logo. The caboose is located in the Rainelle Town Park and sits directly in front of the Town Hall and Police Department. 😃...ClifftopNDwest Virginiababcockbabcock state parkfallsusawater

Lovely
Loved this old car at the show. Yesterday was a long day for me... My wife woke me at 6:30 with a ticking noise in her car. after a test drive I had her take my Maxima to work. I thought I found the noise 4 times... I took half that front end apart looking for that ticking noise, wheels off. Ending up being in being a lose body panel in the rear after I worked on the rear. Spent most of the day on her car. HAGD Folks
