TODAY is the last day for blogging. I just want to thank BZPower again. Hopefully i'll be right this time.
I wonder if we'll have a game tonight. Yesterday's soccer practice was thundered out. Who knows...
How many of you have heard about plans to build High Speed Rail lines in Florida and California (among other places)? Anyone who said no has got to get a better grip on modern communication. It's been news for a while. But why is it needed?
Easy. Airports are becoming overcrowded. Highways too. Conventional rail can't always get people around fast enough. High speed rail (Defined in the U.S. as over 125 mph) could decrease travel times a lot. (The max train speed in many places is 79 mph.) Th
My little brother's Coaster equipment didn't go well with his Alaska railroad rolling stock. And my Alaska Railroad SD70 didn't go well with Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Santa Fe. Although I still have to buy that car before I can give it up.
ER, by the way, It's an SD70MAC and a F59PHI, not an Sd70mac and an F59phi. There's a difference, as shown in SD70ACe.
1st off- how many updates can i come up with?
2nd- I just got back from a trip to the Willamette Valley. I got a really cool book that's basically a guide to the Percy Jackson And the Olympians series called DEMIGODS AND MONSTERS. You should get it.
3rd- I saw a bunch of trains on this trip, from a little "moo-train" at a corn maze to Amtrak's Cascades.
Out of time. Bye.
The reason the Power Cab won't run non-DCC engines is because it may harm the loco.
Fortunately, there is a solution.
I am currently contently watch The Legend Reborn. It's awesome!
I hope you saw the news ticker on the Hero Factory Website that requested a ton of candles for BZPower's birthday. That's gold, there. The link (I hope)
Second off...how many updates can you put in a title? I don't know, But I'll find out!
On to model railroading...one of my favorite manufacturers is coming out with one that I'm incredibly excited about: an N scale model of SP GS-4 4449 in the American Freedom Train scheme! AWESOME!
Though I'm wondering if I would rather have that, or a
Ah... winter break.
Over the time spent, i purchased:
1 Kato USA N scale model of EMD's SD70ACe in Union Pacific's Southern Pacific Heritage scheme.
Several packs of track to match what i got on Dec 25.
On Dec 24-25, i recieved
1 Kato USA Unitrack double track plate girder bridge-black N scale
1 Kato USA Unitrack bumper type c 2 pack N scale
1 Tomix curved turnout Nscale- NOT COMPATIBLE W/ UNITRACK
1 Bachmann DDA40X (DD40AX) Nscale w/ DCC-Union Pacific No 6927

Remember, It's my blog.
Tomorrow is a creepy day. It's the 24th, annd I have a dentist appointment in Redmond. I'm going with a loose tooth. And I think that guy put in a filling without warning a few years ago. Enough said.
Oh, and please check out my comedy, "Toa's Hope Hospital"
This is an entry for my procrastinations
I'd go to bed, but I'm explaining ADD, which is Attention Deficit Disor- Look! A Butterfly!
I'd eat dinner, but A cebu is eating my shoe
I would goplay with my KATO NSCALE GS-4 4-8-4 No 4449 SOUTHERN PACIFIC DAYLIGHT ENGINE choo choos, but that strikeout took a really long time.
My Sister has gone off on a trip for two weeks for church camp and to see a friend. Next Week, my Little Annoying Brother (LAB) will join here.
Jessie is holding up quite well. I wonder What she will do when Jalina Comes Back?
Mom And Dad pay me to watch my siblings. I'll be paid the same amount when LAB is gone for a week.
Bye! (Come Here, Jessie! (name not mentioned), Put That back!)
The Sumpter Valley Railway. Based in Oregon. Known as "the Stump Dodger."
The SVRY was founded in 1890, in Baker City, Oregon. It was a combination lumber line and livestock line...try saying that five times fast.
As the years went by, the railroad expanded to the west. At its best it went to Prarie city, 13 miles from my home! As the name says, it went through the Sumpter Valley, and to Sumpter, Oregon.
The the line began to fail. Profits went down, and portions of the line were abandoned. I
...Crystal Skulls!
I got to see the movie friday.
Suggestions:
The Giant ant part is scary. cover young ones' eyes.
I noticed that the alien looked suspiciously like an Asgard from Stargate SG-1. Anyone else think so?
Great Wolf Lodge. Or rather, the one i'm in, located in **CENSORED**.
This place has everything! Indoor waterpark! Ice Cream shop! MagiQuest game! Kitchen sink!
oops. sorry! My brain is still rattled from that stairwell incident.
This place could use laser tag... but it's still cool!(if pricey)
The Strut Stride and Straddle (SSS) is a set of activities in my home town.
It includes:
1 mile walk,
4 mile walk,
6 mile jog,
13 mile bike.
I did the 4 mile with mom, and Jalina... well, she'll tell you.
Sorry I have been away for some time. I was playing this really cool game...YYYAAAAAAARRGGHH!
Scare you?
My sister, Jalina, was promoted today. She will attend High School next year. Check her blog.
Good news! We are NOT moving to Salmon! That means my blog is safe for a while!
WHY is the bad news. Health issues with Grandma Eileen.
See you in a week! And check out my newest comic!
Our town is a town in Eastern Oregon with about 1600 people.
The pros of living in a small town?
>>>>the smaller the town, the less likely are the chances of getting bombed.
>>>>You know more of the people in the community
>>>>You are probably a lot safer
>>>>It probably has a lesser-known, yet still important historic site. In My case, Kam Wah Chung & Co. History to come.
The Cons?
