Troy go back to three minutes 37 seconds as you were talking. It was funny the black Dodge that’s driving next to you. It’s going so fast, but it doesn’t look like the wheels are spinning at all. It looks like the truck is just gliding by you.😂

We took thedog for a ride and a pupcup around noon on the way to a safeway restock of kitchen basics and stomach meds. Napped ot knitted until time for a craft market/Santa tree lighting happened. Nothing exciting or dangerous. Our pup cup was to Dutch Bros. I get a peppermint almond barking knock off. Steamed almond milk add white chocolate and peppermint flavors.

Yesterday I stayed home. I did not go black Friday shopping. I don’t like to go to the stores on Black Friday. So I stayed home and put up the Christmas tree. And today I’m gonna start putting up the outside Christmas decorations. Because I’m with you Troy the day after American Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season to me too.

Stayed Home Friday and put house back in order somewhat after Hosting Thursday Dinner with 11 people. And Christmas gift exchange with her family and friends!!! Did go to Wal-Mart for storage totes and got a couple deals Saturday!!

The trucks you see on the rails are called "High Railers" and they are used to inspect track, RR supervisors, maintenance workers, etc etc, use them. Each railroad specs out their own trucks. I believe they buy the base fleet models, then outfit them as needed. I don't have any dollar amounts because of all the different jobs they are outfitted for, but they aren't cheap.

Last week there was a crew that operated one that got hit by a train, both of them died.

Perfectly placed 'That's what she said'.

Angie, so now that you drove the bus, do you see why troy calls it that. I had to work black Friday. If you call it that. I moved 4 trailers in 7 hrs. About 20 mins of actual work.

[@MarieWinton]

Answering your question what did you do on black Friday. I ran a few errands in the morning and went to the bank to get vending cash, stopped at Home Depot for water jug exchange and a plumbing patch kit thingy to hopefully fix the upstairs bathroom drip, went to Bi-Mart to stock up on fire logs, went to Joann to restock my polyfill stuffing and grab a couple yarn colors needed for a custom plushie order. Then it was back home to load up the car and on to my friends bands show at a local bar where they let me do a table set up of merch to sell some of my creations. It was such a fun night of great sales, good music, and awesome friends.

My black Friday went pretty good woke up at 4 AM (my cat woke me up) Left the house about 4:40 AM got to Dutch Bros about 4:50 AM and order the candy cane cold brew so we can get the ornament they were giving away that day so I went and waited outside while my sister went into my car. She remote started it. But didn’t actually start the engine. So my battery died. I had to call my brother to jump my car after that drop off my car at the house took my brother’s car and went to Fred Meyer’s to go to Black Friday shopping

[@JesseAdventure]

Then, after Fred Meyer, we went to South Hill Mall and went to Bath and body Works then walked around and went to Old Navy and I would pretty much it for black Friday shopping

[@JesseAdventure]

And then my sister pick me up with my niece and we went up to Elbe to ride on The Explorer express my niece had a great time! We got cookies 🍪 and the best hot chocolate ever and Santa Claus came on the train and gave everyone a bell 🔔 thank goodness I believe in Santa because I can hear the bell 😂

[@JesseAdventure]

Also, this was my first time riding on Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad after years of driving by it on my way to the property it’s between Elbe and Morton

[@joepoppenhagen5694]

Angie, here is 5 dollars to give to Troy for the show!

[@thelifeofaaronwilliamson8156]

Just to let you know that I am going to be up in WA 12/17. I do not know how long I will be up in WA So I do not know how I will get to the meet up with you guys

[@benmassey3808]

So is being late due to vehicle issue or accident or something, does other party understand or could it call ww3?!?!

[@Beyond1031]

Hahaha! You're too funny. I'd post the answer here, but I've been told that if I don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything..... Through this whole trial process I've always chosen to take the "high road." When someone else "makes you mad" then that means they have control over you. I don't get mad. ;)

[@benmassey3808]

@Beyond1031 perfect answer and sounds like someone or the process is a little unreasonable or at least not accommodating. Sorry. And good luck.
