I’m a 1971 model so I’m close in age to you. Addressing my physical health is something I’ve been neglecting/ avoiding for about that past 4 years. Because of you addressing your physical health it gave me the courage to make my doctor appt. I’m not completely out of the woods there’s some pending issues but I’m glad I made the first step. So, thanks : )
Mark I can understand your health issues as I went through the same thing in 2019 with colorectal cancer. Large tumor removed 1/2 in rectum and 1/2 in colon. As in your case as well as mine if it’s caught early it’s recoverable. Chemotherapy 12 rounds in 6 months, am Cancer free. Will be praying for you Mark, love your riding the rails. God Bless.
Hey Shoe... Great to see you out in the beautiful fresh air. Merry Christmas. You'll be fine. Try to enjoy the holidays and before you know it the issue will be addressed and treated successfully. We're all pulling for you.
Maybe you can put your own graffiti on it with a marker or paint pen. Merry Christmas Mark. Good thoughts for a non-evasive procedure done soon. Then on to visit your dad.
I love your videos how slow you pan the camera so we can really see everything, you describe stuff so well, Merry Christmas shoestring. Hey let me know when if you ever catch out soon I might try to see ya on the rails I’d love to photograph ya
Good to see you out and about in your element. Just being able to be around your trains must make you feel good. Prayers for you and upcoming surgery on the 30th. Stay strong Shoestring and Merry Christmas!
Nice video once again Shoestring. I think most are like me, I could listen to you explain how paint dries...lol. You ever thought about just making a few videos telling about your travels and life. You don't even have to leave the house. You are one of the few that I always love to see new videos. Keep up the good videos and remember God has a plan for you. Don't worry about the uncontrollable just enjoy life.
Merry Christmas shoestring! Best of luck with everything and into 2022! Love your content and wish a speedy recovery when you have your surgery! Take care!!!
Man, you can sing like Merle! Beautiful singing! You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that. Sing a little song here and there as you go along; folks will love it. ... never been fancy on patches but sounds like a good idea. Love 💘 ya man.
Hobo shoestring, you are an incredible man. That's all. I wish to be as kind as you. Thank you for sticking around on this earth and showing us how to be honest and loving and warm! I guess if I want to learn, I'll have to hit the rails too!!!

Very nice haircut. Personally, I don't know how you can ride those grainers. You are open to the wind, rain, snow and cold. Yesterday at Christmas Eve Mass I had them say prayers for you and all people travelling the rails. Have a blessed Christmas and a great New Year.
Say hey the mighty Shoestring. Missed you but it looks like all is well. Like I always say, “you can’t keep a good Hobo down”. Stay well, God bless and Merry Christmas 🙏🏿
Growing up always seen Ramblin man on cars. I imagine all those years you ridding those iron horses they're some stories to some of those tags and graphite. Some stories to tell and some to keep under your hat. Nice trim by the way.
