…well almost. I finally went back to work again. I got a job that puts me on the road traveling around the west giveing tech support to a bunch of cable systems. And the great thing is most all of my locations are near good railfanning locations. As soon as I get my laptop I will be back in here spreading my grief [:D]. So fair warning here I come again [}:)]
[8D] Far out!
Just make sure you bring the popcorn… [:)]
[#welcome]BACK!
Welcome back Chad, we’re glad to have you!
chad welcome back!!!
stay safe
joe
Was just wondering what happened with ya.Welcome back.
Great to have you back, Sir!
Good to hear from you. Will you be staying in motels or a camper?
Thanks guys, good to be back [8D]
Dale, I am on the hotel program but they are putting me up in good rooms, although I of course will opt for a room with a railroad view if I can [;)]. I am now liveing in Ely, Nevada and will be based out of there. That’s cool because that’s the home of the Nevada Northern so there is steam action on the weekends (although right now the steamers are down because the axles got cracked and sent to Utah for repair). My area is going to take me all over the west and most of my systems are next to main lines. This week I will be up in Washington and next week Needles. I might even come up with enough material to rehash the where is it’s.
[8D]Cool!
Chad, welcome back!
I’ve spent all day (much to my wife’s chagrin) just catching up on what I’ve missed over a week of vacation. You’ve got some work ahead of you, buddy!
Good luck with the job, and keep your eyes open and keaboard hot during your wanderings!
Will do Carl, I already caught a UP’s track geometry vehicle in Winnemucca and a ribon rail train working at the bottom of the BNSf Highline. When I get home I’ll post some pix.
I loved Ely when I was out there in 06. The steam and diesel action on the NN, garnet hunting near Ruth, NV…the only bad thing was you have to drive forever to see any mainline action…[:(]
Very good. Welcome back!!
Chad. Chad. Popcorn guy. Funny smilie faces. Never heard of him.[;)]
Sure, you know! He’s that guy who played a doctor on that '70’s TV drama…
No wait, that was Chad Everett.
stop by Promotory if you get a chance - but PM me first - my hours there are very limited now.

Say, Chad, when you go through Needles, Calif. please let me know if the Couple Up tavern is still open. 37-summers ago I was a Mojave Desert “rat,” and the Couple Up tavern, located a block or two away from the Santa Fe Railway depot, was the place where I “took water” many evenings (namely 25-cent schooners of Coors beer).
Chad!
It’s good to see you back here, and I’m glad that you found a job. I may have to drop in on you one of these days. I’ve been wanting to go see the Nevada Northern for quite awhile. Now I’ve got another reason to head that way!
Glad to have you back!
