Today was fun. We went over to Train Day. The first place we stopped was some radio station's display. They had a contest and Ellen won a free lunch. Then we went an looked at some model train exhibits. The first train left at 10:00. It was an impressive sight standing next to a steam engine as it starts out of the station.
We found out that we could ride the train over to the shop for a tour. So we did. It was very cool. They have a set of jacks there that can lift an engine 12 feet in the air. On the way back we almost got to see Darwin in action. Some jerk's hat blew off and onto the tracks. The dumbshit ran onto the tracks in front of the train to retrieve it.
When we got back we looked at a couple of more displays and then went to lunch. The place was a nice old style diner. It had good food and GREAT pies. We ordered one piece and it was too big for us to finish. They had a gift shop where we bought a sign for Ellen's shooting signups.
Back to the train station where we watched the train come and go once an hour. Ellen took some cool movies of it. They had a caboose and two diesel engines that we could go through. They also had another steam engine that we could look into.
We also walked back through town to the stores we didn't get to see. We found things for the nieces and John.
On the way home I bought 4 gallons of $4.49 diesel. Tomorrow is 200 miles to Boulder City.
