pessimistic when I see "backordered" as status for a model railroad product, given the current climate and fragility of some smaller businesses in the hobby I backordered a bunch of DCC Specialties block detectors like 2 years ago which have yet to fulfilled 😔

don't have much interest in the Mandalorian/Star Wars stuff, but when the trailer popped up on YouTube today, I did what I've never done for a YouTube video: immediately check the comments (the key jingling of baby yoda did not distract as they'd hope)

not even past noon and already my coffee is wearing off 🐶💤 played an impromptu game of “large truck driving past or earthquake” last night (answer: earthquake) and for whatever reason took me forever to fall back asleep 😩

If I’m furry trash, then I guess you can call me hot garbage~ 👕: @ashcoyote.bsky.social www.keepfurryweird.com

So, I rode this yesterday and it was *batshit insane*. The twin engines rumbling out of sync is an intensely unique experience, it handles bizarrely, very jouncy, and was an absolute joy to ride. Also, the twin engine setup is just so surreal on startup.

Tony is cooking here, who doesn’t love a well glazed hole!

a bit empty this morning, so looking to get topped up~ 🐶💦

Happy anniversary of electrification! Can’t believe it’s already been a year, but time flies when you’re riding on a swift, electric train I guess! 🐶❤️🚊

Finally watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and what a fun movie!

Friend in my recovery group went on vacation in Alaska and brought me back a hat because TRAINS 🐶❤️🚂 (very sweet of him! ❤️)

Painted and upper windows done, had some automotive tint which I applied over the clear film I used for the windows, though in retrospect probably could’ve just used the tint as the window material (probably will do that for the bottom windows 🐶💭)

Thought I’d not see her again, but she’s out on display at the dealership (here to get an NACS to CCS charging adapter), may your new owner treat you well and have deep pockets for repair 🫡💸

don’t have to tell me twice! 🐶💦🎾

haters gonna hate, but the turbines gonna spin

even if I was unfamiliar with this artist, I’d probably still take one look and be like “that dude has a super deep gruff voice, she sings like a bubbly cartoon character and they’re both probably Scandinavian”

just one of those mornings where you FEEL like everything sucks just a feeling though, and not the only one, as I have gratitude that I'm still sober (10 months in 5-ish days, ayyyy) AND that I just signed an NDA for some contract work that has been offered to me 🐶🙏

grumpy on a Saturday, WEH

a limited at sunset 🌅🚊

We want it this way.

it’s also Flex Friday in California and happy to lend my services to ensure your ride into the weekend is comfortable! 🐶❤️

Yeesh, it smells like Friday in California right now as someone right outside my place is smoking the dankest of joints and with my window fan on full blast, the house now REEKS of skunk 🦨🥀

mfw it's Friday in California

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

Randomly found myself in Germany on Google Maps, and stumbled upon the Rendsburg Loop, a railway loop nearly 3 miles (4.5 km) in length to elevate rails to cross over the Kiel Canal via the Rendsburg High Bridge, neat! 🚄 (the bridge also has a suspended ferry which transports people/cars, woah!)

Keeping my paws crossed, but might have an official offer soon to do some contract work for an industry partner project. While it's not full-time employment, the hourly rate they're floating is like 2 x what my salary was 😮

who up strokin' they sword while lamenting the social realities

“I recommend using this product, it’s the best for this application, but sadly it’s no longer made so you can’t purchase it” - every other modeling guide I’ve read how helpful, thanks 🐶👍

so TIRED of this heat, sweaty when sitting at my desk, doubly sweaty when in the garage working on train stuff 😩

I guess whatever restrictions that were put on those promotional HO scale Caltrain EMU sets were lifted as suddenly there's 3 separate listings???

For folks looking to pick up their own yiff shirt they are live on the site now www.keepfurryweird.com/products/y-i...

bold of you to assume Bay Area drivers aren’t on their phones anyways whilst driving (also RIP gallery cars, need to update that photo to the EMUs!)

my Photobucket was filled with SO MUCH cringe, it's hard to choose! I think gross gaming rig and screenshot of downloading anime whilst logging onto AIM is VERY high on the cringe scale (both circa 2005)

My other Amtrak outfit is nice, but wouldn’t want to work up a sweat in it, so had to make sure I’ve got something else to wear when workin’ on my railroad! 🐶❤️🚂

More progress on the scratch built N Scale background building for a future layout, almost done, phew! Needs some more trim strips to the roof and some reinforcement of the structure (as it’s a bit flimsy and out of square right now) but then it’ll be ready for paint!

Look at that cute train driver 🥰 📸 @lickphoto.bsky.social

Hat pin get! Wish it said “Traindog”, but I’m a he/him, so I GUESS it works!! 🐶❤️🚂

Today, CER launches our paper “ElectroLink: Modern Passenger Rail Service for Southern California.” ElectroLink shows how electrification, level boarding and through running can speed up trips, improve access for all riders, and bind together the region. ⚡♿🚴 calelectricrail.org/electrolink-...

I enjoy the uniformity of Amtrak’s consists these days, I really enjoy the mashup of equipment they used to (need to) run. This Southwest Limited has an SDP40F helping out an F40PHR haul a mixture of Superliners and former Santa Fe Hi-Levels (different paint & slightly shorter than the Superliners)

birthday dinner for @danmakudragon.bsky.social in which he celebrates another year of not being eaten and in which I wonder if he’s trying to ensure the rest of us are well fed to be eaten later 🐶💦🐲

🚉 with the success of the first #MBTAnimals event, I can finally post my contribution! :) I designed the mascot Charles as well as the first trip's badge artwork! 🐶 @toastisa.dog - all the graphic work, organizing and being so awesome 💜 🦊📸 @scramblefox.bsky.social badge in paws 🐾

happy to provide turn down service to ensure your ride is comfortable~ 🐶❤️

oh yeah, this is a LOOK 🐶❤️🚂

Amtrak uniform arrived! The seller threw in a dining car menu from the 90s and some other goodies he saved from the decades that he worked for Amtrak - how awesome!!! 🐶❤️🚂

now that I'm done manipulating food with my paws I can FINALLY touch my eyeballs and figure out wtf is going on with my right contact lens, because my vision in that eye is somewhere between corrected and uncorrected so guessing the lens is not seated right/scuffed or something 🐶💭👁️

Your voice 💜

last batch of cookies baked! these I added baking powder in addition to the baking soda to get them to fluff up more and SUCCESS! not that the wider, flatter cookies were bad, just wanted ‘em THICK too

Another weekend of chairing my LGBTQ+ recovery group and now it’s absolutely expected I bring my cookies I bake, but I don’t mind being of service! 🐶❤️🍪 (also if I goof up the job, the cookies make up for it 🤫)

OMG HE’S HERE!!! 🐶❤️🦊
