Yappy cat Nikki stops by for a chat
Game Cam photos of the neighborhood cat we call Nikki. She's been around for years, but this week is the first time she's shown an interest in our porch.

Sweetwater Mile Post 172 Trash Train & a Wee Train
Keep at it, I’m sure Scooter will warm up to you one day!
She seems pregnant based on her belly and she chose your house as her birthing place. You could set up a small box or cat shelter lined with soft materials, like towels or blankets, outside to give her a cozy space. Just throwing this out there-if you're open to it, you might consider installing a pet door or a cat flap on your door, as she seems interested in coming inside. She seems to be looking for a safe spot for herself and her kittens. Keep us updated!
There is a little cat shelter between the two chairs and it's full of warm fleece blankets. So far she has not noticed it. If she did drop a litter we would take them inside and help her. I'm also pretty sure I know the house were she lives so I would take her home. She was a no-show last night but I will do updates. She's a pretty silly cat. I need to film a conversation with her.
@@HiwasseeRiver Ah, ok got it and good one! Hopefully she notices it soon if she needs a warm spot. It’s great to hear you’re ready to help Nikki and her kittens. She definitely sounds like a character from the cam! I’d love to see a video of one of your conversations with her-she seems like a chatty and entertaining one. Looking forward to more of her and Scooter.
Game camera fun. What are the odds that she's full of kittens?
UA-cam suggested this video to me out of the blue and I clicked it, expecting some sort of vehicle built for feral cats. I'm not disappointed though - best wishes for you and your cat friend!
Algorithm magic. We call him Scooter because he eats and scoots.
I was up at 4:44 but somehow missed seeing this porch visitor.
Scooter is my feral cat friend. After over a year he is still stand off-ish. He is gradually becoming more social.
I have a cat I named scooter. It took 10 years before she really trusted me. She would come looking for food but would take off when I got to close. I at least have her living in my garage now. She is 24 years old as near as I can figure. That’s how long I have seen her around.
@@johnscott2849 Wow, that's some sort of record. Well done.
Train 1 NS 8062 & NS 4755, Train 2 NS 4250 & NS 4515
Last few trains for 2024, enjoy. Thank You new subscribers.
Something different - I have a lot of train audio so I produced this using my train audio, Gnaural & Audacity. First attempt. I hope at least one person finds this entertaining. Thanks for checking it out.
Good job. Better over engineered than under engineered. Do not even think of the cost. Everyone should do this..
It turned out less expensive than steel or aluminum options so I'm super pleased with the cost vs. value outcome. It did cost more than the do nothing option which had an risk of insect damage (termites) so the final cost can be judged as the cost of mitigating that risk, In that light I'm also pleased with the outcome.
Enjoy the equipment parade, sorry I missed the tie replacement action.
What type of zoysia
I think it's Zeon & Emerald. I plant some every year and don't always get the same variety. I know it is not Meyer. My grass struggles in the shade but does well in full sun and does well when we get more rain.
MOW work continues around here and a fair number of trains pass through town at restricted speed.
I was walking to the Post Office to mail a bill. I was about a mile away when this train reported his location about 6 miles away. Somehow I got there in time to film him, guess he was going very slow.
NS T-38 was greeted by a NS Engineer and kid out watching trains.
Did you catch the wave at 0:52? I saw some other railfans after NS-911 passed by but they zoomed away before I got down to the MP-172 filming spot. Oh well - beats a stanky trash train!
Every time I come to railfan Sweetwater somehow I always end up getting that trash train
LOL - At least EB is empty.
When is a good time to plant zoysia plugs?
Anytime, just not in dormant time.. December to march.
@Bambamfamily Thank you. I'm in NJ, it's still frost early spring here. I would plant plugs once frost is gone.
I tend to plant it when the temperature reaches 80 degrees, usually in June
Moving fast WB through Sweetwater, TN MP 172
I think some of the power just came out of the shop and others are on their way to the shop.
Crews stop for milkshakes and snacks from time to time.
Nice, how many trains run the Knoxville District West End?
At least a dozen per day on average. Thanks for the sub btw.
@@HiwasseeRiver Do you happen to know the train symbols by any chance?
1m-gauge EMD GT38ACL
The trash train rolls through here WB full of stank as NS 11T. I think it goes to an Alabama land fill and the empty train NS 12T returns EB. The empty train stank is not as strong as the full one.
New York Central Heritage Unit NS 1066
A long train moving slow.
Warm weather + trash = Stank.
A slow day turned hot there at the end.
Can zoyia be planted a bit at a time into a centipede lawn?
I have no idea. A friend of mine hates centipede grass because of the way it spreads. If you are interested in trying I'd suggest getting one box of sod plugs and planting them densely, all inside a three foot by three food space and see which grass wins. If you don't like the centipede grass it's a cheap way to see if zoysia is works in you lawn. Good luck!
Yes, Zoysia will take forever but it will overtake the centipede. Verticutting will help since centipede grows by runners only. Goodluck and God bless🙏
@@HiwasseeRiver try texhoma 31
I see this train almost every day. I had no idea it was full of garbage until it crept through town on a speed restriction. The ISO intermodals have canvas covers strapped down tight and it stinks to high heaven. Stanky stank and it's only in the 60's. There's a waste to rail landfill in Alabama that receives waste from Northeastern cities. This train might be headed there.

Check out Train 6&7 talking about ice cream etc. It's not uncommon for me to hear these conversations, this is the first time I recorded the discussion.
Very cool video. I remember attending One Station Unit Training at Ft Knox Ky, lots of skunks there. One city boy mistook a skunk for a cat, with very sad results for said city boy recruit!
Thank you. That's pretty funny. We have a bold one that comes to the porch so we have to be careful after dark. This video is out away from the house in where two tree lines intersect, so it's a game super highway out there. I added the porch critter cam video to show the villains the come to the porch including the bold skunk. ua-cam.com/video/H3gQF7vCABc/v-deo.html
My cheap game camera takes better pictures on video setting - Who knew! Enjoy
Six trains - see description for details. Fast trains, slow trains, DPU, Frog, Heritage Units and more!

If this video gets any views I'll put up some of Percy the Skunk.
New and improved - Long format multi-train action. Fast trains, slow trains, a train that pulls up and parks. Intermodals, tank cars, steel coils, auto rack, flatcars boxcars, grainers & more - you name we got it. Enjoy.
We've caught one pic of a raccoon months ago, but last night he stayed a while and did the seed bell dance. The camera is getting a lot of traffic due to the lack of available water and we provide them a free drink of clean water.
We have not had any rain in about 7 weeks so the water pans attract the wildlife.
Where did you buy your Zoysia from?
I ordered them online from trysodpods.com/ It's a bit late in the season to plant more. Unless you are very far South I suggest you wait until next June.
Wow you did well! I've only fished the Hiwasse north of the Big bend from the shore. I bought a Hobie fishing kayak. Going to try this area for Bass fishing this fall. Maybe trout in the spring. I believe most are stocked and fall trout fishing is poor here?
Spring is the stocking time and lots of trout. Then the trout are caught or eaten by predators. By late summer I look for striped bass (this year I found none) but native species are very abundant down around the Conasauaga confluence (paddle upstream from Patty's boat ramp. I have caught catfish, perch, bass (many types) and trout down there. I also caught a carp somehow. I think that area is kind of an interface between Watts Bar Lake and the Hiwassee river - no telling what you'll find down there or when you'll find it. That's tough paddling and I only do it in my inflatable. Approach with caution. Overall - anytime they aren't releasing water is good time to fish the Hiwassee. Reliance is good but lots of people sometimes, on up from there is also good but downstream is kinder to an older paddler like me. Thanks for your comment.
@@HiwasseeRiver thanks for the detailed response! Tight lines and good luck fishing!
Exciting new filming spot.
It got a little crazy out there - This was a great fish, wish I had hooked him legit. The good news - I know where they are hanging out now.
I’m not a “pro-crawlspace door” guy, but I liked this video. 😂
Thanks for the feedback. The neighborhood skunks also dislike crawlspace doors - LOL
Even more excitement! The insulation solution is truly second to none, the 8th wonder of the world. BTW - if you get that glue on bare skin you can taste it an it's not a good taste.
