Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

passing Quantico VA, bright blue sky day, Potomac River looks pretty off to the right
headed up to alexandria next and then DC
I could never get the Amtrak app to work on my Ipad, because I lost my original password, so I can't check status of train 92, but I think it's pretty much on time, so far.
When i get to Phila I will call my friend and tell him to start for Trenton NJ train station, next stop.

No C-17s when I was around Military Aviation.
The C-5 was an amazing bird.
And I was fortunate enough to be standing close to the flight line when the first
Marine Harrier landed at Cherry Point, NC
A bit different then the A-4s I was used to.

Took Mrs. to work than breakfast at local truck stop

The only truck stop I know is P&H up on 91 and 302, that's the exit I take to go to camp but I have not eaten there since covid though I will gas up, but man you get a full plate and good eating.

Yea!!! I have finished my total knee replacement physical therapy. Final stretch was 132˚. Goodbye Egore.
A 3 month visit with my orthopedic doctor/surgeon is all that is scheduled for the new knee.
I will of course continue on my own in the gym and trails to improve my endurance which had decreased the last 6 months. I have cut the pain pills to 0-1-2 a day (out of the prescribed up to 12 a day) and will soon run out and will not be requesting any refills.
I plan on starting an easy FireWise brush clearing again next week.

I'm with you Roy, not even considering leaving TBN.

congratulations Don!
stopped in DC Union station
they just turned off train, wonder if they aren't allowed to idle?
diesel smell coming in from other trains nearby, yuk

Looks like a C-17 Globemaster. Cargo jobs mainly.

My friends at Quantico were quite busy yesterday, with their aircraft too.

Thank. It was flying from the direction of Quantico, but wasn't sure they could land/take off there.

Great job, Don!

Toppop, or one of you familiar with military planes...do you know the name of this one?...it flew low over me while at Montpelier yesterday heading west...I don't know of a base or landing strip in that direction.

Had one land here for unknown reason a few months back.

progress I hope after sitting for 45 minutes at DC station, apparently this is where they switch out the diesel locos and replace with electric going North. Allegedly almost on time.
they started train back up, waiting for bump and then ding ding ding

very tidy train station, no trash anywhere, like in Alexandria VA
now if they could only take some of the local politicians out with the trash....

from here North the ride is not all that scenic going through the urban sprawl and the proverbial
"other side of the tracks".

Cool plane. Years ago we saw a similar plane (C5a?) taking off from a small local airport (no tower). This behemoth appeared to lumber slowly down the runway (to the point of looking like it was taxiing from a distance), then half way down the runway it was off the ground at what appeared to be a 45 degree angle. Unreal.
