The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

I got a funny story for you tonight and I swear it's absolutely true. As I posted earlier, my nephew and some of his friends came and got the top half of the tree. They loaded it on a sixteen foot trailer and took it down to another friends house so they could have a bonfire. All went well for a while then they were told they would have to go elsewhere. Well if they had to leave they were going to take their fire with them. So they packed up their chairs and coolers of beer then they packed up the bonfire on the trailer, still burning, and transported it to my nephews home, still burning, and unloaded it there in the front yard, still burning, and stacked it back up as a bonfire, you guessed it, still burning. There's not a single burn mark anywhere on the trailer or on them. Amazing what a bunch of drunk rednecks can do! Of course they only had to move it a mile and a half. I went over and let him know I wasn't going to kill him. Yet.

In train news, I checked the draw on the Varney F3. It's a bit over half what an Athearn F7 draws, so in theory I should be able to put a decoder in it without worry of a burnout.

I opened up the //e to check it out since it got shaken around pretty good. One of the expansion cards was out of it's slot. I pushed it back in then checked the other cards and the chips. Then the acid test. I turned it on. It worked perfectly.

Well it's about time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
