Dust Mite helps me go through and draw from scratch all the motors & locomotives that I originally kitbashed from railroad paintshop drawings. Today we’re working on a new drawing of the South Loren Railway’s class 309 motor (in both 600vdc third rail + trolley pole and 3000vdc pantograph variants)

The choice was to buy a house or have avocado toast. Dust Mite chose violence.

A 15 mile r/t shopping trip (which is not my record; I’ve ridden my xtracycle out to the New Seasons in Happy! Valley! and that’s closer to 30 miles) out to the Clackamas Costco. I didn’t need that much food (mainly snacks for the bears) but Russell asked for soda and I brought back 30 pounds of Coke (bringing the total weight of the cargo up to ~55-60 pounds.)
One of the staffers at Costco asked where I was coming from, and was dumbfounded when I said Sellwood. They took this picture, too, so I didn’t have to race a self-timer to get in the photo.

I spent the first 60 years of my life trying my damnedest to avoid being photographed, so now that I’m in a body I’m happy with I don’t know how to pose myself so I don’t look like a gawky plump stick insect.

A northbound Coast Starlight showed up just as we got off the trolley on the way back from the antifa rally, so I had to stop and take some pictures as it passed by.

There’s a lunar eclipse going on (ending now, I think) and took a few pictures of it.
With a 55mm lens :-)
It’s a little red gumdrop with very few surface features!

I tried to make a Dust Mite sugar cookie, but, alas, the finished product only slightly resembles one ;-)
