You can shoot from public crossings. Use the road on the opposite side of the tracks. Amtrak shot themselves in the foot with that policy. In reality you can shoot from the platforms too. But some of the Amtrak super troopers don't read their memos. Those banna heads will give you a hard time.

So shooting on Amtrak property can be a crap shoot. Stay at the crossings and be safe.

So guess what I saw on 95 heading northbound near Flanders today?

The weinermobile!

And Brian the fine folks at Petrowsky Auctioneers are having another sale end of this week. Big toys Friday and little stuff Saturday.

I found out today people give you a lot of funny looks when you're hauling an old International triaxle dumptruck that had the box snap off and the frame twisted.

The weinermobile was at Roberts IGA in North Madison a few years ago.
It is bigger then you would think it is, it is a DRW

Looks good, Aaron.

I'm gonna go sleep now. Gotta mow my uncle's lawn and pull apart the transmission on a Ford tractor tomorrow. The PTO isn't engaging and there dipstick is worn down presumably by a gear. We believe a retainer clip may have popped off. Should be interesting.

I've also got to load up the plate compactor and get it home since I'm re-laying our front walk at home so it's easier to snowblow/shovel this winter. Sucks when the shovel catches on uneven bricks.
