I got listening to my headphone, singing along with My Back Pages,and I didn’t even see the bus pull up aside me. 🎧 I really didn’t mind this morning at all, even if the temperature is officially in the single digits. 🦋 With the sun and breeze we’ve had the past few days, there isn’t much ice on the sidewalks. I almost forget it was already Friday with the Friday driver. 🚌

Today a train moved very fast in America — that is relatively speaking. In 1967, a Pennsylvania Railroad Budd Metroliner exceeds 155 mph on their New York Division, now Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor. 🚅This was kind of the last hurrah for the Pennsylvania Central , they would merge with their competitors New York Central and be bankrupt by 1970. 🚉While the railroads had many fatal blows it was the interstates that killed off at least the passenger service. Eventually with a lot of government help the freight railroads turned around and became fairly healthy.

It should be a nice day for the Save the Pine Bush Ski, 🌲🌾🌲🌲🎿 with lots of sun ☀ and not so cold. I cleaned off my truck and the solar panel so I’m hoping with today’s sun the batteries will get topped off I shouldn’t have to use the ice scraper in the morning or worry about throwing ice ❄.

Looking ahead to Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 39. South wind around 5 mph. Typical average high for the weekend is 34 degrees. That should be a nice day for hooking up that voltage switch and testing it out with lots of sun. Maybe in the afternoon I’ll go skiing at Five Rivers — I think we will loose most of the snow come mid-week, they’re might not even be enough for good skiing on Christmas Eve. 🏕But maybe my camping trip in the Finger Lakes will be snow free. I’m just hoping it won’t be too muddy.
