Good morning all. A cloudy day with sunshine later.
A large coffee on the go please, Flo.

Good Morning Diners. Chloe, an English muffin and coffee please.
Had a service award dinner for work last night. They do these for employees for every 5 years they’ve been with the company. I skipped my first ever one, went to my second and vowed I wouldn’t attend another one. So much for that as I only managed to skip one more. It was actually a nice time this go around. They bring everyone being recognized up, say some fluffy words about them, and give them a certificate recognizing their length of time with the company. It was quite a change from the one I went to 10 years ago. They actually had nice things to say this time! 
This is a cool little rail mover. A Buckwalter electric tractor. Rubber tires so clearly only intended to be used in paved industrial areas (at least this one). I wonder how many moves they could make before the batteries needed recharging?
Happy Hump Day everyone!

Morning Diners, an Espresso and Bacon and eggs please Chloe,
I’ve been up all night doing crazy stuff like AI image generation, and whatnot so I’m pretty tired but I will manage! 
I might stay the night at a friends house since my dad is having some anger problems over a bag of chips 
and he wont quit ranting either 
Jimmy, Hope your week starts to get better! 
Mike, Happy Hump Day to you too! And wow! Congrats on the Service Award!

Good morning, everyone. It’s another beautiful day on the plains – cool, sunny, and a high of 70° today. Actually, that’s about as perfect as you can get! Even Cookie the Dog enjoyed the walk this morning and we went 2½ miles.
David, beautiful video!
Even though you still see a lot of sidings in our part of the continent that were for loading livestock, I don’t think they are ever used and will gradually disappear. This one is in Appin, Ontario, from1986:
Have a great day, everyone.
