They were normally used by logging railroads when steam engines spewed embers when traveling through dry woodlands. This example doesn't have the nozzle or pump visible.

Well the lake effect snow has cancelled the train show this weekend. The Bills are being moved to Detroit to play there against the Browns. The worst area is up to 54" and counting. The ban is supposed to move north tonight and hit my area. Were only supposed to get 4-8".

Keep an eye out Smud they'll be many more. One thing I'm not is a good speller. And I'm not even sure speller is correctly spelled?Think a Plumber would be more able to do that job than a plumper.

True, I'll let you off tho' mind you, not sure that spelling's the problem, might be the eyesight, Smudge is spelt SMUDGE not Smud, and the name is at the top of the post, but Chris will do too

Good evening.
I'm not sure if folks in the Buffalo, N.Y., NE USA area would usually have a snow shovel in their garage tool collection. If not, I believe it's soon to become a required implement if they hope to get to their mailbox.
Around here, hand-me-down snow shovels are the best. That is, hand-me-down to anybody who's younger than you, like your son or the neighbour kid. Of course, hand-me-down shovels always come with a $40.00 bill attached to them.
Looks like the hydrogen fuel-cell fuelled locomotive is a working reality. This converted SD40-2F is now being used as a switcher in the Calgary, Alberta area. It's called the H2 OEL locomotive:
Two more are coming online soon, with one being stationed in Edmonton. Perhaps, I'll be able to get my own photo of it one day.
I like the scheme. Hope a model of her comes out from some manufacturers stable.
Just a quick drive-by folks. Have a wonderful night!

Plumber's Jeans: Well, no this isn't commentary about plumber's jeans and the classic butt-crack, as that's been known about and commented on for the last fifty years. Hey...tool belts are heavy. They hold tools, and belts don't often fight gravity off well enough. Housewives have dealt with it and laughed about it for at least that long
This is more about the trend today toward jeans which ride about six inches too low, where the crotch is about halfway down the thigh. Certainly the modern trend, but I have the idea that, even in this modern, progressive age, the large majority of men WOULDN'T wear their jeans pretty much falling off if they...knew the significance, and what it signals.
It originated in Folsom prison, CA, among gang-bangers. Well of course, and that's why it's so "cool," (my old fart word), "hip" (slightly more modern), "fly," this was my own nieces word when she saw me in the Porsche convertible one day (but long since out of fashion)...and now maybe "fire?"
But what the low riding jeans signaled--to other prisoners--was the wearer's willingness to have an*l sex.
Do MOST men today who wear their jeans down that low realize why they are that low? Probably not, but in today's day and age, I wonder.
What I DO know is engineers overalls had shoulder straps.
-----------
True story: My sister (she's a lawyer. I've mentioned this before)...and I were stopped at a crosswalk in front of the Federal Courthouse in Albuquerque when this black guy (his jeans were really low, and his boxers were up about three inches, but also low)...strolled casually through the crosswalk in front of our car...and halfway past the jeans dropped. We were both laughing up a storm and he had a small smile on his face too as he hitched them back up and slowly finished his cross-walking.
As for me, I go for classics. Jeans that ride up. Boot jeans too.

Well, howdy there internet peeps, and those who pull their jeans up above the belly buttons (and some above their ankles)
It's troy again
Welp... back from the big author conference.
Started with staying with friends in Henderson NV. They moved that way from LA, when they hit the age that deferred salary was going to be highly taxed in their home state. So off to NV, where the casinos fuel the state taxes. They treated us nice. Got to go to Juan's Flaming Fajitas (reservations recommended.)
They really were flaming! and huge. This was the "Fajitas for three" portion... We pushed hard and left with bloated bellies.
Next they took us downtown Vegas to the strip to see some of the decore before the casinos switched to holiday-themed stuff.
I found a technicolor bear. Waiting for Jaz to paint one up for her layout like this one.
more later... I'm still adjusting to hopping time zones.

Good morning people of the world. There is Joy out there some where, I know I dated her in high school. It has gone beyond crispy in South Central Wisconsin, it’s cold. It’s saying 18f/-7.7c degrees but it feels like 4/-15.5, that my friends is cold.
Had dinner last night with the granddaughter and our daughter. The boys were at a Men’s hockey game on Campus. Not a new fish place just one of the neighborhood bar and grills that have always been good. The g/d made her 1st official call on her new very restricted cell phone to grandma asking if we wanted to go to dinner.
I have 30 minutes of my 1 hour on the treadmill and the other 30 minutes will happen after I sign out here.
I have the base of the 30” x 80” commission done including the 2” foam. $42.00 at HomeDepot as the Habitat re-Store hasn’t had foam since before the Pandemic of 2020, said the lady behind the mask. I put together 4 pulp tanks and they are primed. He wanted 4 even though the pictures he gave me only show 1. Of my allotted 4 hours yesterday, I used up 2 hours 20 minutes working and 1 hour 38 minutes searching for foam. HD did cut it to 30” by 88” for me. No mess at home.
Grandson plays hockey at 8:30 and 11:45 today. We will see the 11:45 game and leave from there to campus where #3 Wisconsin Women battle #1 Minnesota in hockey. The Badgers have not played in 2 weeks due to exams. This could go very wrong today. There is absolutely no love between these teams.
Troy, that food looks great. I love fajitas but they can keep the techno color bear. Well off to the treadmill and a relaxing shower after
enjoy the day
