We're the engine overhaul center for the Chessie System. The engines were lined up for about 1/4 mile to the right ,out of the picture.

No, John, It appeared that it hadn't been used for years. It would probably be a great favor to the local farmers if it were to be removed, but I am glad it was still there.

Thank you, Floyd, John, and Garry.

Spent a little time enjoying some backroading on this sunny Spring day, and came acriss this long forgotten trestle.

Leroy is okay with me.😊 I had to wait to post this one until John guessed this one in the Mystery knife thread. Siletto Cutlery NY. A brand of Pacific Hardware and Steel. Some say Napanoch made, probably hard to tell with this example ? You can't be too choosy with this pattern. 2479 stamped on pil...

Outside waiting for the eclipse I decided to take a few pictures of a couple of my favorite things before everything goes dark for 4 minutes and 3 seconds .Fresh picked Arkansas strawberries and bone handled knifes .IMG_3838.jpegIMG_3839.jpegIMG_3841.pngIMG_3840.pngIMG_3843.pngIMG_3842.pngIMG_3844....

Ike, and perhaps a few others, might recall that at the end of February I began investigating the use of gin soaked raisins for my knee arthritis. I have been using them for over a month now. Here are the results. Pain in both knees has been reduced by about 90%. Stiffness has been reduced by perha...

Interesting little group of knives, Skip. I am partial to the Funk's, their signs were in nearly every cornfield around when I was growing up.

Doglegg Floyd got me good!! First, a little background on this traveling knife. Back 3 or 4 years ago, Floyd posted a somewhat rough multi tool knife that he had picked up. I also had a somewhat rough multi tool knife that had lain in a box for 30 some years. I had picked it up from the son of the o...
