ZombyWoof Ridin' The Rails!

[Zomby Woof]

On the way back from Grand Canyon, AZ, Saturday, July 9th. :D

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. Jeez. What do you charge to haunt a house?

J/K. Good photo.

How did you like taking a train trip?

[Zomby Woof]

2. I LOVE old trains!

This was a farewell gift from my employer. This was the rear car, luxury class. Nini is too shy to let me post her pic from the trip. :-)

The tracks were finished in 1901, and for many years, was the best way to get to the Grand Canyon...

[XanaDUer]

3. That's great.

I love trains.

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

6. hey ex-floridian!

Stopped the madness, eh? :hi:

[XanaDUer]

7. Heh...

and it's just the *beginning* of hurricane season.

[Pale Blue Dot]

4. ARRGGHH! Must you taunt me so?

By the way, how did you and nini do it? Sarah and I have been apart a little over a week and we're getting the shakes and can barely function as human beings. I've been sitting in the corner in a fetal position for 3 days now! :D

[Zomby Woof]

5. We have NO IDEA

But we damn well know we're SICK OF IT, and permanent relief is just 16 days away! :P

[SarahB]

40. How do they "do it"?

Well, I'll explain it to you, my dear. First you have a man and a woman (well, frequently, but not always) and they really love each other (well, at least hopefully respect each other) and then........ :P

I am, however, going through withdrawals. :(

[Pale Blue Dot]

41. Go on, go on...

You stopped just when you were getting to the good part! :P

I miss you!

[SarahB]

42. Oh sure...

Like you need lessons?

:blush:

[proud patriot]

8. AZ extrememly green for July

I was in Prescott two weeks ago . The wildflowers are just
beautiful this year .

[Zomby Woof]

9. It was the WET winter!

Unbelievable precipitation this past winter. I drove from PHX to Flagstaff in March, and was STUNNED by how much green there was in the normally brown high desert. It was like I brought the northwest with me down here. :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

10. To further taunt Finnfan

[Pale Blue Dot]

12. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

On edit: Do you like my avatar? I call it "Saps in Silhouette".

[GOPisEvil]

11. Sweet!!

:thumbsup:

[Maddy McCall]

13. You posted this JUST to make me jealous.

And it worked. Oh how I'd LOVE to ride those rails. Love railroad history so much that I named my spawn after the most heroic railroad man in history. :D

[Zomby Woof]

15. You named him Mr. Conductor?

:shrug:















;-)

[Pale Blue Dot]

18. ...

:rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

20. LOL. No.

You know his name. :D

[Zomby Woof]

23. Well, you can't love everybody!

:evilgrin: I try my damndest to make sure!

[Maddy McCall]

27. I'm gonna just keep on lovin' you anyway.

So there! (Nini, you see what you've got to look forward to? :evilgrin: )

[Zomby Woof]

28. She knows!

She has resigned herself to her fate. :D

[Maddy McCall]

33. Even when you're an asshole....

you're lovable. So quit trying to be an asshole. :D

[Zomby Woof]

34. I am not an asshole

That was a rumor started by GOPisEvil's testicles.

[nini]

14. nice pic

I'm glad to see those came through.. I was wondering about my email.

I should be packing my dad's stuff in a container.. but nooooooo

:D

:loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

17. They came through fine

I checked last night after we got off the phone, and there was nothing unusual about the delay. :D

:loveya:

[nini]

21. I didn't get an email from Frances she sent yesterday until today

It must have been delayed being sent out. Stupid servers have been all screwed up.

Work is hell... :(


ok, I think I'm going to make myself go pack some stuff up.

I'll catch you later WD!

:hug:

[Zuni]

16. Trains are so underrated

I enjoy a nice train trip. I like going through cities on a train, I like going through the country on a train---I like being able to look at the scenery without worrying about the road. I haven't been on a train in way too long

[Zomby Woof]

19. I concur completely

One can absorb the landscape, converse at leisure, and learn to take life in at a slower pace by riding the long twin silver line.

Do yourself a favor and book a trip soon.

[salin]

22. ah - and here I envisioned

a nostaligic view of hitchin' the trains in the old 30s hobo style...

[Zomby Woof]

24. I AM NOT A HOBOPHOBE!

:yoiks:

[salin]

25. *snicker*

dang - that is so funny - that I dont even have an immediate snarky response!

[Zomby Woof]

26. I'll accept delayed snarky responses

;-)

[salin]

29. You do know that your proclamation put yourself on Ashcroft's radar

and while he may no longer be Attorney General - we all know he is probably snooping and persecuting for profit these days - and he most certainly puts on his radar, all who proclaim as you do as being "pro-hobo" which in his warped mind means "pro-hoboerotic art, sponsored by the NEA by folks like Maplethorpohobo"... certainly those words make you a person of interest...

[Zomby Woof]

30. Hoboerotic art?

Like this one where the hobo is dangling his weenie?

[salin]

31. That's so bold - that it caught Gonzeles's attention as well.

and may I add that I am impressed with the speed with which you found that per this little subthread. Kudos.

[Zomby Woof]

32. Don't mess with the ZombyWoof!

:P Fastest free associatin' picposter in the west.

[salin]

35. lol - I must admit

that I do better with the free association word-fests than the pic fests... though I did once come across a favorite - that noone else seems to appreciate....

I think it is a better reference in certain circumstances than a pizza... then again I am a crazy norwegian (or half norwegian...) so what do I know?

[RetroLounge]

36. Very nice pic, but I can't say I'm jealous

Here is a pic I took on July 5th. You can't see me because I AM IN THE LOCOMOTIVE! I got a 3 hour cab ride on the Wisconsin Northern railroad while they were working 40 miles of track north of Chippewa Falls, WI. Took LOTS of pictures.



Here's the train getting ready to leave Chetek, WI. where I was staying with my folks for the week.



Gotta love a train ride!

RL

[Zomby Woof]

37. Nice pics!

Together, we can make Maddy McCall drool with envy. :evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

38. Hey Maddy, prepare for much drooling

Train crossing the Chetek River Bridge, built in 1892.



After a long walk thru woods and a mile down the tracks in 90 degree heat, we finally found this 100 yr old crossing tower. The railroad that crossed these tracks at about a 30 degree angle from right to left has been long abandoned and is just a path thru the woods now.

[Zomby Woof]

39. Haha, you mean bastard!

:D

[RetroLounge]

45. Thank you sir, thank you very much...

:D

[SarahB]

[Zomby Woof]

44. Good Morning, SB!
