Lost Dog (trains)

I had put my mini laptop computer in my tank bag and when I stopped to get gas I took the bag off and put it on top of my camp bag on the back of my motorcycle. When I took off I forgot to put it back on the tank and somewhere it fell off. I noticed the mistake about two miles down the road but when I went back to look for it, it was GONE….         

I went and reported it to the Police but really didn’t think it would ever be turned in to lost and found. I have been on the road several days and never did hear from the police that had my email address. I decided to write the nice gal who took the report and thank her for trying to help. To my great surprise, she wrote back and said it had been turned in and I could come get it or she would send it to me. WOW, I made a bee line back to Picton and went in this morning and picked up my bag. How wonderful to find everything still inside and the little mini laptop just fine… THANK YOU….

I  have the name and address of the guy that found it and I am going to the Post now to send him a reward for being such a wonderful guy.

I have been getting email after email when I rent a computer or go into a library from a fellow BMWdog on when I am going to post  photos of trains. Have I seen any yet? When do I think I could post a photo or two of a trains? Trains, trains, trains. I think he thinks of trains more than sex….

So here is an emergency posting of some train photos. They are taken totally out of order in what I saw here but for my friend Keith…. Here are some TRAIN PHOTOS.

Waiting on the side track but I couldn’t find anyone to talk to. Maybe the guys just quit and walked off?

Live action shot……. How thrilling…. To some….

The lady at the store across the street said they had the steam engine pulling the cars yesterday so I missed it.

 They must trim the edges off the top of the trains because they have little tunnels. oh, they have a rather narrow gage rail too.

 I will be working on making a few doglogs for my other friends now that I have Keith off my back for a few days at lest. I guess you sort of have to look at these like some look at the flower photo.... no everyone likes the same stuff. I actually like trains a lot too, but it isnt my whole life....
