      Good evening, Dan; Thanks for dialing in and the comments. This was more to my liking as a station stop. There are still many vehicles in the parking area. That's a good thing.
      Have a great Saturday evening. Please take care and stay safe!

    Good morning Mike. Looks like a nice morning up your way. Nice quick stop this morning. You are the welcome person to FT. Morgan. The person we see every morning. You do such a great job with the video. Have a great day and stay cool. I now how that humidity can get to you. Spend my summers with my grand parents in Iowa.

      Good morning, Gerald; Thanks for stopping by along with the comments. We have a cooler front moving thru here today. It is a delight to have the house opened up and the breezes blowing thru airing out the place. The young lady who detrained here was quick to don a jacket as she waited for her transportation. I did inform her the building was open and she rapidly grabbed her belongings and headed inside. I thought was just right. Oh well.
      Have a great Saturday down there.
      Please take care, stay in the shade, and safe!

    Morning Mike. A gorgeous sunrise for the Zephyr's Ft Morgan stop, today. A quick stop and on her way again. The chorus seems a little weak, this morning. I wonder if some of them have decided to hunt for a cooler habitat? That appears to be happening with the smaller birds, around here. Not the darn pigeons, though. Take care, stay safe and I'll check back in tomorrow.

      Good morning, Phil; Thanks for dialing in as well as the comments. It was a very nice morning with much lower humidity and a nice wind from the north. I don't know where they disappeared to though. I am sure the morning hunting for food was in full swing. We will make it into the mid 80s today. Then the heat returns. Monsoon is now over up here.
      I hope that you have a great Saturday down there.
      Please take care, stay cool, and safe!

    Hello Mike, wish someone would do a rain dance here.I dread the next couple of months here. Hope you are well & staying cool.The birds sounded nice this morning.What is it the tracks do in heat that slows the train down,? May you have a blessed day.Thank you for # 5 👋😉💛😎🐦🙏💚💛💜

      Good afternoon, Carolyn; I thank you for stopping by as well as the comments. I had given thought to doing a rain dance here, but it ended up sending the rain to Iowa. My heart goes out to a lot of those folks back there. Our monsoon is over, but I will certainly enjoy the temperatures here today as tomorrow we go back to the much higher temps.
      There were a few songbirds around this morning. Not the numbers we have heard in the past. I am now seeing some "free-range" chickens across the tracks.
      The extreme heat causes a "heat kink" in the rails. I have not seen one around here but the UP has serious problems in Nevada and so does BNSF.
      Anyway, have a great Saturday afternoon and evening down there.
      Please take care, stay cool, and safe!

    Got an update on the guy who went to far off and got left by amtrak in Fraser. He had his family onboard, his wife didn't know right away because he had a couple rooms for his kids. He took an uber to the next stop, Grand Junction. Cost him over $300.00 and reboarded the train. Expensive mistake, glad he was able to get back with his family.

    Good morning Mike yeah it looks like another routine day. Yet tomorrow we're supposed to have mid '60s. Today it's supposed to be like 88°. We had some spritzy rain on and off yesterday afternoon. So it looks like another good day for the zephyr. It's just pretty much closed on time.

    Good Morning Mike!
    Nice day for a train ride! Wish it was me!
    Picnic today, fireworks tonight. Takes a lot, to get me to go. I like the professional ones, just very uncomfortable with kids and adults doing the amateur bottle rockets, etc. Makes me too nervous to sit outside. Hopefully you can enjoy them in your town. Too many service people can't, but, they are the reason we can celebrate our freedom! 🇺🇸
    Thanks for #5 today! Do all the engineers wave at you, or just our select few?
    Have a great Saturday!

      Good morning, Jean; Thank you for dialing in and the comments. I like the picnic idea but have put up with the illegal fireworks here all of last night and I'm sure they will continue for the next week or so. The city of Denver has outlawed all fireworks as well as several other communities out here. Drones will replace the fireworks in Denver and a couple other cities along the front range. I too prefer the professional displays. But I do use the pop-bottle rockets to move the turkey buzzards out of a couple of trees in the neighborhood. That happens only after a good soaker rain, or the watering systems have operated.
      I'm in it for the taste of the foods. I admit to staying indoors with the TV turned up as to drown out the booms and all. The noise does have an effect on me.
      Anyway, have a wonderful picnic.
      Please take care and stay safe!

    Good morning Mike from sunny 86 mid Tenn heading to 92. I could really enjoy that 59 there. You opening the house sounds like a great idea when you can like today. Give the AC a rest, bet your trike ride today is unusual or did you crank up the pickup?

      Tomorrow the heat returns. It is summer out here and the monsoon has moved on.

      Good morning, Mark; I thank you for stopping by as well as the comments. 64 F. and clear sky with 49% humidity out here. A nice breeze from the north right now.
      Won't last past today though. LOL! That passenger was quick to don a jacket. She did go into the waiting room before her ride got there. I still have windows open allowing the cool air to permeate the interior of the house.
      Lots of illegal fireworks last night and I am sure will continue over the next several days if not weeks. I'll be a bit jittery for a while with that.

      @MikeJensen-jt9yr  6 місяців тому +1

      Good morning, Pete; Thanks for stopping by along with the comments. This is the first year that I have not seen the weed sprayer train work thru here is a while. I am surprised BNSF hasn't brought it thru. But out delightful state legislature decided to ban a lot of weed reduction processes. We have been under the constant rule of the extreme liberals that moved here from California. I would very much like to send them all back there. Ok. Off my soapbox.
      Anyway, have a great Sunday.

      @@MikeJensen-jt9yr - Yes, they should have left their viewpoints behind! Maybe they won't use a weed burner because of how dry it is in your area. I saw a cartoon in Model Railroader magazine years ago where a club member shows disgust for another member's "working weed burner" after it started some of the club layout scenery on fire!
