Running Bear's November 2025 Coffee Shop

[migalyto]

Was up late and then woke up part way through the night and had a hard the going back to sleep. So slept in some.

I posted earlier that the same thing happened to me last night. Only happens 2-3 times a year.

Must be something in the air!

Good morning all. Nearly afternoon now and I'm starting lunch in a few minutes.

61°F today with expected high of 71.°F and 74°F tomorrow. The temp plummets to 43°F for a high by Sunday. That's going to be a chilly day.

Have a great afternoon everyone!

Servus!

Howdy all, lunchtime here. Up to 69 at present. Spent most of the morning in the garage, getting my reloading bench cleaned up to my satisfaction. During these nice temps, gonna get some more 45 Colt, 44 Special and 38 Special loaded up for the winter. Gonna lean back with a cold Diet Mountain Dew.

Could it be the changing of the clocks disrupts your internal clock?

For me it’s the stress of life right now. I wake up and start thinking about something…

Didn’t get out on my walk until about 10:50. When I got back. 15 min ago it was 67F. Blue skies. A few wispy whit clouds. Very sparse. But a nice breeze to cool you down from the sun.

Kusojiji I have at least 200 hundred songs or more on my play list. I 'm trying to get them all copied onto the TF Card. They're not in any kind of special order. For golf I like to listen to the slower tempo songs. Gives me a sense of a slow smooth golf swing. Very clear, clam, toned voice as in Sirius Eye In the Sky Swal

Wow, very nice! I do like when they redo songs with symphonic accompanyment. I have the Three Dog Night, Kiss, Metallica DVDs like this.

Didn't expect the video to roll into the Mamas and the Papas! Awesome!

 

[Kusojiji]

it is an acquired taste

Yeah, I can imagine. I do want to try it at least once, maybe stewed for starters. I know that I will be doing this myself as my wife already made the face of disgust as we were watching this on tv haha.

Thanks!

A junkie is like a hungry bear

Ahhhh, won't be trying one of those... haha

 

[Kusojiji]

I got bear salami once from a friend, loved it.

My friend gave me some moose sausage the first time I visited him in Alaska. Really liked it.

I guess this'll be a slow day. Took me a while to get this one. Had to go down the misspelling list... haha

Now I bet that would be good!

How does Moose compare to deer in terms of taste? Fairly similar I would think.

Seems a lot of us are having a sluggish day today, hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Tonight's sunset in Cambria, NY

Baldwin Sharks: I believe that the D&H renditions were obtained from the Monongahela. Original owners included the Pennsylvania, the New York Central, and the Baltimore & Ohio. I think Monongahela bought theirs from the NYC.

The PRR used theirs system wide, in particular in coal train service. They were gone by the time I hired in 1967, although I did on occasion see an A-B-A set on the Main Line (Philadelphia and Washington. Baldwin locomotives were flawed, but had large Westinghouse traction motors and were well suited for heavy trains in mountainous territory. At least one A-B-A set was remotored by ALCo.

A few projects going on, some transformer loads in "Let's get loaded thread". Next will be some sheet steel loads. Not real happy with the color, steel is difficult to copy.

Let’s see if this works, not a locomotive but it’s still steam, it’s my steam boat
Engine is 1900 and the boat is 1915

That is really cool!

What are you using for a source to generate the heat in the boiler?

 

[AuburnCentral]

30 lb propane tank under front seat. It gives me 12 plus hours of steaming time, several things factor in on that, air and water temp, wind and how much people want to hear the whistle. When I get her dialed in I like running between 90 to 100 psi

How does Moose compare to deer in terms of taste? Fairly similar I would think.

I've had Alaska Moose, deer from CA, MT, and OR, ID antelope, MT Elk, CA boar and AK bear. We have Elk and Bison farms here in OR.

Moose and (wild)Elk were the best venison I have ever eaten. They were not gamey at all. MT deer fed on barley and was gamey enough that my wife didn't want to eat it unless it was sausage.

Spring (CA) boar tastes better because it's been eating grapes & berries. Fall boar is not as sweet after filling up on acorns.

Antelope was stinky, but made decent egg rolls.

Bear was bear. Leaner parts tasted better than fatty ones.

Just a test fit, might be too tall/ too much have to look at the proto type pics again before gluing them together.
