Ken, welcome back! Nice ride too! Glad to have you back in the diner.
howmusshe had a magnificent emboshure but that she held me funny
Ricky, glad to hear you are recovering well from the tooth pull. I also have all my wisdom teeth. The dentist was pushing me some years back to have them pulled even though they aren't causing problems or even popped out of my gums. Then he suddenly stopped. Must have made that big purchase he was trying to get me to pay for some of.
Brent, those are some neat stories about your son. I imagine it must be weird to watch some of that stuff and know it's him.
Kevin, beautiful pictures! That is such an incredible part of the continent. Truly breathtaking.
gmpullmanThis young lady makes it look so easy
Makes it look easy, or makes it easy to look at? I'm not sure how many jobs seem like a logical lead in to operating something like that, but beautician is not one that comes to mind!
Any others I missed, it's not intentional. You guys have been busy. Looks like I missed a party!
Off to watch the charity soccer tournament. Should be a fun day.
Later guys!
Edit: Top of the page! Saturday coffee on me.

Ken:
Glad to see you back in the diner. Your new car is sweet. I briefly owned a red 1975 Coupe DeVille back in 1988. It was a good car.
BACK!
-Kevin
Living the dream.
Good morning, everyone. I'll have some sausage, hashbrowns, and coffee, Chloe. And don't forget a bottle of hotsauce.
Kevin, more great pictures. My entire family is meeting at Yellowstone in about three weeks. Your pictures are sure making me look forward to the trip.
Rick, your report of working on a bridge without a safety harness gives makes me sweat. I hate heights unless there's a very strong railing.
Henry, I've eaten in some places like you describe. The hamburger should be so good, and instead it's turned into a hockey puck.
Ed, Welcome Back, Kotter! I haven't thought about that program for a lot of years.
Mike, your report of the cancer victim hits home. A while back I spent some time driving a friend to his cancer treatments. As I sat in the waiting room, I witnessed how many kids were there facing life-threatening times. I could only wonder why I've been blessed with good health.
Ray and Terry, it was good to hear from both of you again.
Charlie, hope your kidneys are OK.
Ricky, I'm 69, and until several months ago, I still had all four wisdom teeth. None of them were visible, but X-rays showed one had started to deteriorate. The dentist took it out and I barely felt anything.
Dave, I'm with you. I've told my wife that I'm never moving again except to the cemetery.
Brent, glad to hear your hockey team won.
All other diners I haven't mentioned, I hope everything is going well.
I have another day of nothing to do. I may try to talk my wife into going for a drive just to get out of the house.
Have a great Saturday.

Good evening Diners. A large coffee please, Janie. Leave the jug.
Went to get some medication. I had Dawn with me, so went for a long drive afterwards. Boy am I thirsty now.
Arrived back home and a parcel with some clockwork locomotives were left for me. Tomorrow I shall see how they run etc.
A simple dinner tonite. Chicken 'n' Chips (Fries). Clotted Cream Rice Pudding to follow. I'll leave some in the Diner. Maybe TF will 'check in'.
Stay Safe Everyone

Thank's for the warm welcome back folks!
Well it is thundering outside so Sue won't Dirk and I sit out. o I am running the trains instead.
The Cadillac DTS picture I posted is not mine. Same color and year but mine has the stock window tint. I cannot stand that dark of a tint! Other than that the are the same. Still have not figured out Windows 10 and it will not take photos from my 20 year camera? I all so cannot get my Android phone to share files.
Roof. With the current lumber prices I cannot afford to replace it now. Latest bid was $20,000.00? With 4' X 8' section of plywood being $60.00 I guess I sort of understand.
Later, Ken and Dirk says I miss Robbie, woof woof.
I hate Rust
Good afternoon .....
David .... Are you still here? .... Apparently everybody else is gone.
Ed ..... Interesting video about the container crane operator. That job must be uplifting.
Kevin .... Your Yellowstone pictures are fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Definately, the world is a beautiful place, specially at Yellowstone.
We have family visiting this weekend from Ohio and Michigan. Busy here.
Cheers.
EDIT ..... .. KEN, I did not see your latest post as I was writing mine..... I'm glad you are back again today. .... Yes, lumber prices are very high now. Prices, in general are rising too fast. ... Thanks for the !

Evening all.
Flo - A nice RBF please. Thanks.
Ken - Afraid I can't help on the android, I'm an apple guy... But on the camera with the computer - Are you trying to import by plugging in the camera, or inserting the SD card into the computer?
And I feel you on the lumber prices... They are flat out rediculous right now.
Kevin - Really cool pics! I've never been to the Grand Canyon, so I will say, "Thank You!" for sharing the photos.
Wildlife pics - Had some visitors during dinner time tonight, and I had to sneak some pictures.
Deer 1 by Richard W, on Flickr
She was wondering off towards the road, so I said, out loud, "Don't go that way Bambi." She stopped, allowing me to capture the photo.
She then decided to go rejoin her friends, and I got the following picture.
3 Deer at once by Richard W, on Flickr
Those with keen eyes will spot that the middle deer is a very young buck. They watched me take their picture, then high-tailed it towards the back woods.
They made absolute excellent dinner guests - They were quiet, didn't hog all the food, were respectful of personal space, and they didn't over-stay their welcome!
Hope all are well, and all enjoy the evening!

Good evening fellow diners.
Thank you for all the kind comments on my efforts hosting the diner this month. I have never done this before, and I was worried about how I would handle the job.
Ed gave me some good pointers, and I have had a good time bringing everyone along on the journey this month.
Last night when we left Yellowstone park, we went to Grand Teton National Park. For some reason, we thought we should spend one night in a National Park camping in a tent.
It was awful. I was hoping to get some awsome sunrise pictures over the Grand Tetons, but I slept too long (because I could not fall asleep), and I missed the sunrise.
I will never camp again.
Today we visited Dinosaur National Monument in Utah and Colorado.
The skies were a continuous challenge today. Sometimes they were great:
Sometimes they were just terrible:
Utah has some wonderful scenery that we enjoyed on the drive to the Dinosaur National Monument park.
The park is divided into two halves. One is entered from Utah and features a quarry where dinosaur bones have been unearthed for more than 100 years.
This park is geared somewhat towards kids, and had lots of fun features. I love the dinosaur that greeted us at the entrance.
The main attraction is the quarry dig site display. They have uncovered the side of one of the formations and revealed the dinosaur bones within the rocks.
There is one dinosaur bone the visitors are allowed to touch. It has been polished smooth and shiny after years of being rubbed by the visitors to the park. I helped out a bit myself.
I hope Bear can forgive me for making my own toon. The internal nerd in me took over, and I had to do it.
The other scenery around Dinosaur National Monument on the quarry side was wonderful. We had a great time there.
We left the quarry side, and headed for the Colorado entrance to the park.
For the first time in my life, I am in the State of Colorado!
It was about a fifty mile drive from one park entrance to the other.
The Colorado side of Dinosaur National Monument is centered around the canyon. This is a spectacular site.
There was a pathway that led through the woods to this park bench.
This is the view from the bench. Not the Grand Canyon, but still spectacular. The best thing about it was that there was absolutely no one else around. That will not happen at the Grand Canyon. My wife and I were completely alone on this peaceful bench looking at the magnificent view in complete peace and silence.
I cannot begin to explain what goodness this did for my soul. I was in a state of complete contentedness.
There was this dirt road that led to a park in the lower canyon, but my wife would not allow me to attempt to make the drive in the Kia Optima.
There was not much to be seen for trains today. This string of covered hopper cars was all that I saw.
Check out this horrifying armor plated grasshopper thing with a stinger on the back! There were hundreds of these things walking on the roads in Colorado.
That is all for today. Thank you for riding along.
We are sleeping in a one-bedroom suite in a Hilton Hotel tonight. The tent and air matress will never be used again... ever!

Hi Kevin,
You are doing an absolutely sensational job of hosting the Diner!!! Your pictures are superb. You are making me jealous for not being on the trip with you. Mind you, by now you would likely have grown pretty tired of my company!
I'm so sorry that you didn't enjoy the camping experience. Dianne and I were avid campers. We spent our honeymoon in a tent on the shores of Lake Superior at Agawa Bay. It was nirvana as far as we were concerned, even though the tent got blown down one night in a storm while we were in it. I had to re-pitch the tent in the nude! Hey, we were on our honeymoon! What did you expect?!? Each to his own.
Cheers!!

Ken. Glad you are back.
Charlie. Better luck next time on a Flying Scotsman. As you say there are a few around.
Beartoons. Great.
Everyone else. Take care. Pop into the Diner when possible. Love to hear from you.
Kevin. I am never up early enough to see sunrise. Here is a Sunset in the Red Sea.
Family visiting this afternoon.
Running trains later.
Thoughts & Peace to All who Require.
Good Sunday morning, everyone. Donut Day!
More great pictures on our circuit tour, Kevin. Too bad about camping. Like Dave, I used to camp a lot and loved it. My wife is not the same. She always said that she would camp as long as it was in a Hilton.
When the girls were growing up, I took the family on a week of camping in the west, each night at a different place. Growing up camping, my brothers and I jumped out of the car and ran around throwing rocks, climbing hills, etc. Raising a family of girls is different. My daughters and wife jumped out of the car and went to inspect if the campground bathroom was up to their standards. We actually had to stop at several campgrounds before we found ones that were OK with them.
We'll be having some family from Arizona traveling through and stopping this week, so we will be spending time cleaning the house. We don't seem to mind how the house looks until company comes. Happy in our hovel?
Have a great Sunday, diners!

Hi Everyone,
Brunhilde, coffee with cream, please.
Happy Father's Day everyone!
Wow! I didn't know cavemen had plaid animal skins back in dinosaur times.
Kevin, I'm wih you on the camping thing. When I was an explorer scout, our post went on a canoe trip to Quetico Provincial Park. It was a good time, but I would go tosleep under the stars thinking of my comfy bed at home. After that trip, I'd had enough. Incidentally, on Moose Lake on the US side, there's an island that was pictured in old Hamm's Beer commercials. That island actually exists and we stopped there. I looked around and pulled a Hamm's beer bottle out of the trash and brought it home with me. My Mom cleaned it up without damaging the label and I still have it today. Yellowstone: It is a beautiful place. My wife and I went there on our honeymoon. I took over 300 slides in Yellowstone alone let alone the other places we stopped.
Ah, all the memories.
Have a good one everyone.
Jim (with a nod to Mies Van Der Rohe)
hon30critterYour pictures are superb.
Thank you for that.
My camera lenses and filters are all packed away, so I am just using a basic 15/55 lense. I am surprised how good a lot of the pictures have been, and I am sure saving time not switching lenses and accessories.
On the down-side, I have no pictures of birds, and there have been so many landscapes that would have benifited from a wide-angle lense. Also, without any basic filters, waterfalls have been hard to photograph.
York1Raising a family of girls is different. My daughters and wife jumped out of the car and went to inspect if the campground bathroom was up to their standards. We actually had to stop at several campgrounds before we found ones that were OK with them.
I am with you there! I never even suggested taking my girls camping. I used to camp a lot when I was 17-19 years old. I camped for the first time when I was in college in Nashville. I had fun, but I was married at 20, so it has been over 30 years since I was in a tent. It was not like I remembered at all.
York1My wife is not the same. She always said that she would camp as long as it was in a Hilton.
NorthBritDawn and I are like that now.
I believe this will be my wife's policy from now on as well.
At least we tried it.
We did stay at a few locally owned motels in Michigan and Wyoming. These were wonderful and I loved them.
Heartland Division CB&Q"Hey look at that! .... Not only are there dinosaurs, but there is a caveman too !!!"
That was good for a laugh this morning!
up831Wow! I didn't know cavemen had plaid animal skins back in dinosaur times.
The plaid skinned land whale was hunted to extinction when cavemen developed a sense of fashion.
I grew up camping. My Boy Scout troop tried to get out for an outdoor trip every month. We were not wimps. Sometimes it was tent camping with open wood fires, in the mid-winter snow.
The ex-wife liked camping, but I got tired of it because I did all the work, all the cooking, all the cleanup.
The GF now says CAMP is a four-letter word. At my age, by this time I have to agree.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Good morning all and Happy Father's Day.
The soccer tournament went off well enough yesterday. Ton's of people there, raffles, bake sale, lunch type food cost whatever you wanted to donate. Fun atmosphere. My daughter's team made the championship for their bracket and played a team they had beaten once already. The other team played back into it in the "losers" bracket. During their first championship game, they were ahead 2-1 late when the other team got two really flukey goals. That was the first dagger. Then, since it was double elimination and following the 3-2 game, both teams had one loss, they had to play a rematch. That's when the other team started playing really dirty. Things a full ref crew would have caught, but with just one ref that wasn't happening. First they took out our best offensive player (my nephew), then our second best offensive player, then our fourth. The kids kind of gave up at that point. It got so bad, one of the kids on the other team actually called out his team at one point saying "come on guys, this is for charity." Sad. Our third best offensive player (my daughter ) managed to avoid the carnage. She was really frustrated by all of it and I don't blame her. Still, proud of her! She is just heading into 9th grade and was on a team of all high school and college aged boys and held her own just fine.
Between work and some things going on at church, I won't have my oldest around until this evening. Family time then. Looking forward to it.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Father's Day.
SeeYou190 I cannot begin to explain what goodness this did for my soul. I was in a state of complete contentedness.
Yep, That is why I use to like hiking into the backcountry for a few days, nothing to hear but your own heartbeat, I get the same relaxation with an early morning paddle when visiting my cousin.
Though not quite the same because you can hear the cows mooing in the distance rural living is great, I don't know how you guys stand living armpit to armpit.
Good morning, it is supposed to be hot today and tomorrow, low to mid-30s. At least it is never humid here.
I am enjoying Kevins' trip as it is bringing back so many great memories of our family trip through those parts. May just have to hop in the New Highlander when the borders open up again and head South.
Sleeping in a tent in the backcountry was the best. Sleeping in a tent at a campground with kids was a horrible experience and it only happened once. Now having a nice RV at a campground with kids, dogs and lots of friends along is the best fun. I never thought I would be an RV guy but I was convinced after our first trip. We rented trailers twice and then bought a 30' Jayco. We got our money and more out of that thing.
I took some canoe trips that I really enjoyed, the best thing about canoe trips is the 70lb backpack is in the bottom of the canoe and not on your back. Except for portages and then you have the backpack and canoe to carry but those were relatively short and you could make two trips if need be.
Water Level RouteBrent, those are some neat stories about your son. I imagine it must be weird to watch some of that stuff and know it's him.
Mike, it is weird when you flick on the TV and there happens to be a show he was in on the screen. I remember when he started we were excited to see him and his sister on the big screen. Then as time goes by the novelty starts to wear off and it is just another job. There are a few things that he has worked on that neither he nor we have even watched yet. He worked on the movie Predator for a week and none of us has watched it to see how much screen time he got. I heard it was a stinker of a movie so it is not high on the list.
The money he made let him live like a king all through University. He went to University in Ottawa and would fly home for fall reading week, Christmas, and Spring reading week. He would be booked to work and would make $1000,00 to $2000.00 a day. He would be home but we hardly saw him, though if it was a short shoot I would drive him just to spend some time with him and hang around and watch and was welcome to all the great food on set.
I spent a good part of the day at my desk on conference chats with investment people yesterday. Commodities (lumber) should come off later this year somewhat and then head back up early in 2022 and then stabilize towards the end of 2022. The U.S. faces some unique challenges and it will likely take longer for lumber prices to stabilize there. Every time I have to sit at a desk all day I feel like shooting myself, I don't know how you guys that did/do it for a living manage. I need to be outside and moving.
Well, it is guitar time outside on the patio and then bike time and then go for a long walk with the dogs through the forest.
Happy Fathers Day.
Brent

Post Hog!
Just heard from very good friends of ours. Their 19-year-old daughter who has been camping with us many times has just been admitted to hospital with covid-19. She is fit and very athletic. She started back to her job at the steak house when it reopened about a week ago and tracing shows she likely contracted it from a customer the first day they opened.
Needless to say, her Dad is not having a good Father's Day.
Good Afternoon,
Ken, Dirk sure is a good looking fellow!
TF, where are you! Anyone have his phone number?
As far as camping goes my wife said our sailboat was as close to camping as she would get and it had an enclosed head, refrigeration, a stove, comfortable seating and a lot of teak trim. Travelling she will only stay in hotels with room service.
I am glad I didn't win the bid for the Flying Scotsman. On closer inspection these models don't have a lot of detail so I have set my sights on a Merchant Navy class.
A cool day here, only about 65F. Wish it would rain. Our water bill will be staggering.
Ran the Pacific on a mixed train yesterday. I think it is now my favourite engine. The detail is amazing, sound is good and it is a very smooth runner that just creeps on speed step 1.
No plans for today. Will have to get at the front yard tomorrow. There is a lot of spruce needles to rake up, several inches deep in places. Then I have to work on the lawn where the graders removed the grass in winter.

Hello fellow diners.
Today we travelled around Colorado and visited Rocky Mountain National Park.
A lot of things went wrong today, but it was still a day of new experiences.
This was pretty cool. I found some trees that actually look like Woodland Scenics pine trees, and their foliage was "conifer green".
The drive across Colorado took about three hours to get to our goal for the day, the Rocky Mountain National Park.
This is what the skies looked like when we arrived at the park at noon... absolutely wonderful.
A little background... I have a lifetime passport membership with the National Park Service. I get free entrance to all National Parks, National Monuments, National Forests, US Forestry Sites, and all parks under the jurisdiction of the US Department Of The Interior for the rest of my life.
I have visited dozens of parks in the years I have held this pass.
Today at the Rocky Mountain National Park I had a series of experiences I could not believe.
When I arrived at the park I was told that only specially permitted people could get into the park before 3:00. I said "WHAT???... what are you talking about?"
The Ranger, very rudely and full of condescention, told me that if I wanted to get into the park I should have gone online and applied for a permit for entrance. These permits need to be purchased.
She then told me this was being done to make sure that only the "right people" get into the park.
I hold a Lifetime NPS passport, am a tree-hugging environmentalist, and avid nature/landscape photographer, how am I not one of the "right people?"
She told me it must have been a while since I visited a National Park because it has been this way for a while. NO... IT HAS NOT! I have visited several NPS sites in the past three weeks, none of them are doing this.
Then I realized that this is probably the first step in making the National Park system another exclusive benefit of the "right people", and blue-collar workaday folks like me are going to need to wait until they are finished before we can enjoy the public lands put aside for the people. Living on the scraps in another way.
When I was finally allowed access to the park at 3:00 PM, the skies looked like this:
Now... I am inside the park, and it does not take me long to realize that Rocky Mountain National Park is not a very good park.
There are strictly enforced rules that you can only pull off the road to take pictures at designated pull-outs. This is typical of National Parks, but in this park the pull-outs are very rare, and none of them are at good picture taking locations.
It was very frustrating to drive past beautiful things to take pictures of because there are almost no pull-outs. There is also only one side road with a destination in the entire park... more on that later. In all other parks there are many roads that lead to great places to spend time.
Also... in "Rocky Mountain" National Park, I expected to see some... well... "rocky" mountains. Nope. I saw tall tree covered hills and a few rocky outcroppings. The landscape was not what I expected at all. The Grand Tetons were massively more impressive.
Speaking of trees... 95% of the roadway is lined with tall pine trees on both sides. It is almost impossible to see the mountains very much. All of this was very disappointing.
I did find snow still on the ground starting at about 10,000 feet.
I made a snowball, in June!
I threw it at my wife, but the windshield protected her.
We also saw some wildlife in the park.
In spite of the bad skies, I did take a couple of decent landscape pictures.
When we finally made it to the Northeast side of the park, we wanted to drive down Bear Lake Road to the hiking trails... BUT... only the upper-crust permitted guests were allowed in the Bear Lake area until 6:00 PM!
I joined the line of the plebians waiting for the magic hour of 6:00 when we would be allowed to get a taste of the splendor the specially priviledged people were allowed to enjoy before us.
At 6:00 a string of cars started down the mountain towards Bear Lake. We were not allowed to park in the trailhead parking lot, but had to assemble in a staging area and wait our turn on busses to take us the rest of the way.
It was after 7:00 before I made it to the hiking trails and walked around Bear Lake.
I love to find beauty everywhere in nature, and Bear Lake provided a few gems in spite of it being almost entirely dark along the hiking trail.
If this had been my first experience with the National Park System, it would have also been my last. I am furious about everything today.
The Park Rangers were the worst. normally they are friendly and helpful. Full of enthusiasm about the park and want to make sure you see all the best spots.
These jerks were the opposite. I would not be surprised if their training was conducted by a former member of the Waffen Schutzstaffel. They were herding us through the park like sheep. If someone slowed down to see something, they were prodded forward and reprimanded for daring to enjoy the splendor of a National Park.
All-in-all, Rocky Mountain National Park is barely more than a drive down a two lane mountain road. It is the second worst National Park I have visited.
If you want to drive down a two-lane mountain road, I can suggest about 30 more that are free and have better views. This list would include US Route 36 on the East side of the park. Yup, you will see better scenery on the road to the park than you will inside the park.
Wow, I hit 1,000 words ranting about how terrible this day was... sorry.
Tomorrow we are driving across Colorado Westward from Denver on back roads all day long. That should be a beautiful and enjoyable day.
I did see this beautiful crane car today.
Still, The World Is A Beautiful Place.
Kevin, I am so sorry to hear about your negative experience in Rocky Mountain National Park. The Rangers' conduct was inexcusable! Some people should never be given a uniform or authority!! Are you in the mood to make a formal complaint to the Parks Service? I think that you have earned the right to do so.
Let's hope that the negative experiences are behind you.
Good morning Diners. Tea and toast please, Flo. A day of rain here in the UK. (Saves me watering the roses. )
Kevin. We have the same challenges here with the 'young whippersnapper Jobsworths'.' Just have to forget them as yesterday has forgotten you. Just focus on today. It is all in front of you. Loving the pictures. Snowballs in June. Reminds me of when we were in Norway.
Thanks to this Covid stuff I am missing my time on board ships.
Evening in the Arabian Sea
A busy day today with things to do before I can run any trains.
Those missing from the Diner - A speedy return. You are missed.
Good morning, diners. Bacon, eggs, and coffee please, Flo.
It's a day to cut the grass. Without rain from a while, the grass hasn't grown much.
Kevin, I was at Rocky Mountain NP several years ago, and I agree. You can see much more of the Rocky Mountains outside the park than inside. It is basically a drive-thru park.
Hope everyone has a healthy day today.
Good Morning all.
Not much to report, been busy with work for a while, I will have to go back through posts and catch up.
I can't see Kevin's pictures at work as they have blocked imgur on our firewall.
Kevin, Heed the i-40 warnings. I can't go that way to my Southern command I have to go the "back way" around East side of Memphis
I scored a nice expensive 3d printer over the weekend fo $50. It works great. I am currently printing a HO scale hopper car. I printed a few radio knobs for antique radios. I will post pictures of the hopper car progress later since I can't get to imgur.
