WOW! What artistic talent. Very cool Gordi.
Syx, yours is very cool too.
We have some great talent here.

Awww Thanks Kat!
I did a witchy one last year, which was my first "proper" one (not just a standard Jack'O'Lantern type), but nearly didn't manage to do one this year... all the shops here ran out of Pumpkins!!! (The FRANK one is tiny!! Like a Small Melon!)
Ohh... Found it!!
HERE's Witchy from Last Year...


Anyone want to see me doing the "Monster Mash" song again this year?? LOL

Hiya Cody!!!!!!! Mrs C enjoying that new car of hers?

Hi Night

She loves looking at it and going oooooooooooo and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, but she's only driven it a couple of times, it's half term so she is working at home. Tomorrow we're going to see my folks and my sis etc. so that'll be the first real run out we've had in it.

Mrs C refuses to take it shopping in case it gets scratched so she takes my car (Like mine is OK for a suicide shopping trolley attack LOL) But next week she'll start using it on a daily basis.

I'll let you know how she gets on, now to toss the coin to see who drives tomorrow.

Where did I put my double headed penny ?

OMG, what a beautiful picture. You have a good eye for great pictures gimme. I hope you archive these. Some of these places will never look the same in the future. As you have said, they are changing.

Thanks Ms. Kat!!

As I was standing up there waiting for this thing to show up I kept noticing everyone going for the shot of the horseshoe. Then the idea hit me to get it as its coming into the horseshoe with the five mountains, that's what Quinnimont means in French, with the river, and the fall colors. The fall time around here is probably one of the best times to take photographs. This state is one of, if not the best, state south of Vermont to see fall colors. I mean it's a big tourism draw around here with people coming down to take photos of just the leaves falling off the trees. Then there are some, like me, that do this for a whole different reason. The anticipation of the fall season for us railfans even comes at a plus. It gives us more of a backdrop to work with whether if we want a lot of color or just a little bit. Other than that, I think it turned out to be a pretty good photo for something I had to set up for in about two minutes or so. You'd be surprised just how well some "spur of the moment" shots will turn out if you put your mind into it.

I've archived some photos on like photobucket and such but I've just lost touch with doing that. I have put a lot of photos on my Facebook and what not. Other than that, I don't really mess around with the bulk uploading sites. I do regret not archiving photos onto a hard disk for back up and what not. I've lost quite a few photos due to hard drives and operating systems taking a dump on me.

As for these places changing in the future, other than the month, year, decade, or century, I really don't see much happening. Even though the people and things will change as time marches on. The place where this was taken will stay the same and the daily operations of the railroad through here will most certainly stay the same. It's the small things like signals installed by the Chesapeake & Ohio that are slowly disappearing in the New River Valley. Places like Brooks, Sandstone, Meadow Creek, Hinton, etc., will still be the little places on the map to some. To us railfans in the area, it's slowly losing its magic as one of the last hold outs for signals that we grew up with. The new replacement signals are slowly but surely being put up and the old ones taken down.

It's as they say..........
Old things don't die..... they just fade away

Um, that was yesterday's work. Today is a new day.

You still have you're work cut out for you today. I'm sure the Mrs. has her "Honey-to-do" list. Now hop to it!

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

That was great. I too love your laugh,

It made me giggle.

a reply to: crappiekat

So Kat, how is your first Wisco winter treating you? We, here in Ohio, were supposed to get hit as well, but it just turned into a cold, rainy and windy day. Some sleet, but not much.

The one thing that always made me chuckle when I lived in Wisconsin was that the snow and such would fill all the potholes and make for a smoother ride. LOL But come spring time, they might as well have been called sinkholes and a 4x4 was needed to navigate them.

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

OMG Gordi, that vid was awesome! LOL Love your laugh!

Ooooh, Loving the new avatar!

What was supposed to be a weekend of fun work has now turned to crap for me. The work was canceled till later. I guess it'll be football and beer instead. See! I can turn that frown upside down!

a reply to: TDawgRex

You can have the football, I'll take the beer!

Cute huh?

a reply to: Night Star

They're always cute...right before they rip your arms to shreds. LOL

My 'ol Maine Coon Diesel and I played rough quite often. He almost always drew blood. I don't blame him though as he seemed to know when he broke skin and always immediately backed off and went into head butting mode. He's a good cat and I still get to see him from time to time.

He weighed 30 lbs, was over three feet tall standing and knew fetch and other assorted commands (since he was a Cat, he probably viewed them as requests.)

I miss my Dawg disguised as a Cat. Here he is eating my foot, which in my mind was a seriously dangerous thing to do, consider the odor.
