Clap Your Hands

tracker7The train club held a bonus operating session Thursday evening, and since I was fighting off boredom (and mind-weasels) with whatever weapon I could get my hands on, I made another trip to Jeffersonville with my trusty and freshly-repaired Dash 8. I drew a short and super-easy job - light run out of the yard, pick up two cars at one customer and four others at three customers on the same spur, then deliver those to another yard. Quick and simple, and I picked up a passenger run to finish up the evening. I get a kick out of the CSX Dash 8 pulling a passenger train - Amtrak's Genesis locomotives are Dash 8s with a streamlined carbody, so mechanically this is no big deal. Drove home, detoured into Shelbyville for a rare stop at McDonald's, and got home around 11:30. Dad texted me while I was refuel, asking if I was okay, and since I didn't want to lie to him, I replied that I was safe.
Friday was kind of a waste. Stormy weather, so that was nice. No Delta Green, as the store was hosting a PFLAG event. I watched some streaming stuff, had some trouble sleeping, laid in bed listening to podcasts.
There's distant thunder to the west-southwest, and I'm hoping for another rainstorm. There's been a lot of rain here over the past few days; some flooding, even. I want to go do something, but again, all of my friends are two hours away and I've spent a lot of time on the road this week. Wanderlust will get the best of me tomorrow, I figure.
There are the flashes of lightning and thunderclaps I wanted. I'm going to go sit on the porch and take this one in for a little while.
