Damn Dairy Queen!

The folks at Dairy Queen have those new Dream Pie Blizzards. I'm personally addicted to the Key Lime Pie Blizzard. Good god, it's tasty.

Dairy Queen in Centerville will see a nice profit this summer provided by entirely by me.

More train pics!

I thought I'd get more comments from my train pictures, but that's what I get for posting them on a state holiday. So, here are more pictures of my weekend of train nerdiness...


A cool vintage steam engine.

Check out my nice caboose!

Once again, check out MY nice caboose!

This is the locomotive that I drove.

Thanks for tolerating my nerdy train stuff.

I'm in a pissy mood today.

Hi.

I'm a little pissy today. I've got a lot going on at work, and this morning I noticed that someone hit my car in one of the parking lots it was in yesterday. Nothing makes me happier than a car that's not even a year old with a big scratch down the back of it. I'm sure many of you know how this feels. If I could find the culprit, I'd like to choke him.

10:20 am "Just Another Day" Oingo Boingo (Danny Elfman performs the Oompa Loompa vocals for the songs on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He also re-wrote the music, but they keep the same lyrics from the book.)

PS: I bet some numb nuts driver's ed teacher hit my car! Muhahaha!

Dredg today

Dredg will be in studio performing a couple of acoustic songs. Join us at Airwaves, 515 South 700 East in Trolley Corners at 2 pm today.

Trains!

I'm back from my train driving excursion in Ely, Nevada at the Nevada Northern Railway. Bob, my instructor, taught me how to operate a 1948 Alco diesel electric locomotive. It kicked ass. Here are some silly-ass photos. (Note my engineer hat. You can't drive a train without one.)

The day before, we rode in the passenger car.

I didn't drive this old steam engine, but it kicks ass anyway.

Putting on my engineer boots!

Taking the required written test. (I cheated.)


"All aboard!"


Bob, my instructor, showing me the throttle and brakes.



Who the hell is driving the train?




I'm an old pro.
