    part 3 of another my thoughts post

    since we've entered june i had thought of doing another follow up post. this one is once again on nick's animated shows (since i've seen everyone seemed to like the two i did at the start of the year i've been thinking hard of doing a third one). this is going to include only three shows. (two not talked about in the first post and a slight review of one show that's recently).

    today is a real special day. today is when the norfolk & western would roll out a new steam engine on may 29th 1950 that would become an icon for steam. the n&w employees of roanoke out shopped n&w class j 4-8-4 no. 611 from the n&w roanoke virginia shops. thus began a the career of one of the most highly advanced steam locomotives ever built. for 9 years the 611 and her 13 class j sisters

I got the package and other things · 9:55pm May 17th

I've not posted again (I think life has been catching up with me what's transpired In my life). but anyway I got the thomas meets the queen vhs in the mail today. I never thought I'd ever find one of the other three tapes I've been looking for brand new. (I was thinking of giving up but i found them new so it's just luck). and I just found one of the last two tapes I've been looking for. (though this one is a bid). the bid ends next thursday so I'm hoping I can win that. than that only leaves one more tape (still found it used but I'm hoping someone will sell it brand new I just gotta keep looking and I may end up with luck like I've done with the two tapes I found).

now with other stuff. I founded out the cpkc has given a new schedule for the return of cp 2816 after it completes the long trip it's currently doing. (I've not checked the schedule just only heard the news of this).

there's also been a schedule from union pacific for this year. big boy 4014 is said to travel in the summer named the westbound tour. (the highlight will include traveling over donner pass as well as the feather river canyon in northern california). so while 2816 traveling to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of cpkc as the major steam event for this year. the westbound trip for the 4014 is the second steam event of the year.

and lastly I wanted to share my thoughts on the recent trailer for the new twister movie. I watched it multiple times and I am considering seeing it when it's released. (it's due for a release July 19th which I don't know why they picked towards the end of the month. I think they could of released it over the memorial day weekend or in June instead of towards the end of summer). and they shared the new music video by Luke combs. it's a pretty good music video (maybe on the same level as humans being by the late van halen). i kind of hope it'll live up to the original (though one thing I'm not really thrilled is that they're incorporating climate change).

I'm going to get this off my chest I don't follow that stuff. many people are thinking tornado alley has shifted. I don't think it has tornadoes happen everywhere in the world in all 12 months of the year. I just don't like when people use that stuff as there's people that lose thier homes loved ones and got to start all over again. I just don't like when everyone uses that when these folks go through what they go through. but that's just how I am.

I hope you guys enjoyed this walk through of what's been going on with me and some stuff that's coming out. thanks for reading.
