Good morning and Happy New Year, everyone. OK, here's my contribution to the DD&CS decor- certainly not on a par with Chris's shot, but a nice catch for my collection with CShaveRR's help:
UP 2001 and 1995, sitting on a spur behind the Berkeley Metra Station, waiting for their next assignment on today's MPRCB. Carl, did I get that all correct? I really should write things down as I take photos...
Too bad these darn container trailers are stacked in the way...

Happy New Year!!
Congratulations on the new baby, KY Brian!
I hope everyone has a good New Year's Day and I wish everyone the very best for 2007.

....Chris, really a dramatic pic of your subject line of tank cars....and with the lit signals and colored sky...Really like that.
Tamron w/ f 2.5....That's a bunch of light being passed thru it for it's size....
Sounds like a great performing lens. Tamron is the lens I choose to put on my EOS some years back...Not digital.

But I do believe its time for me to sleep, been a long night of playing DD for my friends drinking themselves into a stupor. Oh well, at least we all had a good time, and I have the peace of mind that the ones that went home, got there safley abd the obens who stayed at the party have no keys...... They have to call to get them back becasue only a couple people know where they were put. So I guess I will see you all for breakfast............on Tuesday that is

A Very Early Morning to you all and HAPPY NEW YEAR! May all of you have a safe and happy 2007!
Brian (KY), congratulations on the addition to the family!
Well, I promised you all a couple new pictures for the new diner. Here's a shot I took a few days ago while my expeditions took me west to Clinton. There's a couple flaws that the perfectionist in me hates, but it's still kind of aesthetically appealing:
By the way, that was taken with on of my new toys, a Tamron 180mm f2.5. There were only 3000 of these buggers made (it's a 75th anniversary thing) which is a real shame, because it keeps the price high on these. But if you can find one, they are absolutely terrific! I don't hesitate to use the thing wide open. It's an adaptall lens, too, so you can mount it on almost any camera with the right adaptall mount (EOS shooters, there is an EOS mount, but it's expensive. It's better to get an M42 mount and then an M42->EOS adaptor).
Well must get a couple hours rest in case we get some rain free skies for an outing later today (which according to the weather folks is likely). Again, best wishes for a safe and happy new year to you all!

Evening all...
I'm beginning to think it would be better if I had asked Santa for a set of Super Swamper Boggers for the truck, what with all the rain that has fallen over the past few weeks. At least I could play in the mud.....
Got a digital camera for Christmas, specifically a Kodak EasyShare C743, very nice for a point-and-shoot camera, I don't need anything very fancy. Might have to get an account with rrpicturearchives to show off some of the work.
Like the new place, I see it's been packed since the grand opening. Got some new music for the jukebox, picked up some Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, and B.B. King while getting a memory card for the camera.
Well, Happy Birthday Ed, Happy new year to all, and see everyone later, going back to watch the Hee Haw marathon on TV.
Hey Everyone,
Just like LM said, we have some great news here at the house. I sent him an email out as soon as we got home today.
Our daughter was born Friday Dec. 29 at 9:45pm. She weighed 9.02 lbs. and was 19-3/4" long. She has 2 big brothers welcoming her home. Everything is going great. Just really different to have a little one around, but it's fantastic. She is a precious gift from the Lord above. My little angel.
Everyone have a Happy New Year!! I know I don't reply much on the forums, but I read through the forums every night.
Brian (KY)
Happy Birthday younger (by 6 months) feller!
Just used the shop-vac to pick up the bazillion pine needles left on the floor as Mr. X-mastree departed for the curb. (or where the curb should be)...waterrunning down the street at this hour is causing some concern here. Hope we are not celebrating new years with the water department boyz on double OT....
Funny how that works, huh?
Big Q, gonna spend the night snuggled up with the wife and kids on the couch, watching movies and enjoying it all.
You guys stay safe, thanks for the birthday wishes, thanks to the cook for the wondeful dinner.
