STOLEN Live Steam Locomotive @ Seattle, WA This was sent to me by a relative of mine who knows my interest in all things RAILROAD related. I know this is a non-MV item but certainly worthy of keeping as many eyes open as possible...

Applause & Salute !

Texas has lost a good friend of the MV Hobby, a USMC Veteran, Midland County Sheriff, and Board Member - Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). Very early Sunday May 26, 2019, Sheriff Gary Painter passed away unexpectedly at his home. My first knowledge of this sad news came with this...

Rather than scrapping/melting that piece of history, I'd give in a home on my front yard as a lawn ornament. Maybe even mount my mailbox to it.

San Angelo's online media outlet "San Angelo LIVE" today posted this report and statement from the Midland County Sheriff...

Well stated. And well ended. I'm not going to describe this from the funeral home's perspective other than to say that I am very glad this deputy survived to serve another day.

Good point. Our home in NJ was just 1-1/2 blocks from the tracks with several crossings through town. Lots of whistle blowing day and night. We had no problems sleeping through it, even in the hotter weather with our windows open - no A/C in those days. Additionally, the approach for Newark...

Do you have a "backhoe fishing license"? Your choice of tackle is outstanding!

Once again it seems the lunatics are running the asylum ! What a CRAZY decision and flagrant disregard for safety.

Thanks for that perspective, Sir. I was not going to mention it but..... When I first saw this news and the video I had a bit of a flashback. So, here's a story..... Turn back the clocks to the first day of school for the '64-'65 school year. It was the first day of Junior High School for...

A Midland County (Texas) Sheriffs Deputy was struck by a train while responding to a "baby not breathing" emergency and surprisingly "walked away from" the wreckage. Railroad grade crossings are DANGEROUS ! ! ! This incident was caught on camera and should be a valuable lesson to all of us no...

I am reminded that EVERY plane crash shares one common denominator: NEGATIVE AIRSPACE BELOW WINGS !

I NEEEEEEED a tank!!!

Commandeering a public roadway as a battlefield air strip (PRACTICE).... With tourists too. LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dltkggh1hJ4

WOW! Good call. I think I can agree that this might be TWO stacked and stuck-together pulleys. One way to be heck this out would be to stick your finger into the hole in the hub. If you feel two "layers" of sheet metal with a gap between them, then our "theory" that they are "twins" would be...

I just finished posting this week's Sunday Sermon - for Mother's Day - and, although this week's message includes no links to YouTube music, THIS piece came to mind. (Maybe I'll go back and add it as a post-script.) All of this talk of musical talent - or the lack thereof - had gotten me to...

Rocky, Are those furballs trying to tell you that you're MANGLIN' that MANDOLIN??? Persevere, my friend. Nothing worth doing is going to be easy. BTW: I have no.... NO musical talent. The only thing I ever try to play is the radio.

Cool. Seems to be a rare find - and very handy, too.
