That old sled doggo!

Curly Tail enjoying his furry midlife. A transportation nerd, classic car aficionado and wrench for almost 4 decades now. Dabbles in hockey, the gym, woodworking and just all round solid pal. Chat me up!

My Sunday power skating coach challenges me every skate, today was no different. So I ended up with a big parachute tied to my tail, and every drill was a "stand on the throttle" full out go. I gave it hell in every forward gear. Now my legs are absolutely trashed, worse than any leg day in memory

Having bought Under Armour clothing online over the years, I routinely get emails from them. I usually just delete them, but lately they've been using Francois Arnaud of Heated Rivalry fame as 1 of their models. He's my new Internet crush. I would just melt if he hugged me. So drool worthy!!

The northern Ontario wildfires are so intense right now, that the smoke has made it's way down to the Greater Toronto area. My phone doesn't really capture how orange and hazy it is right now. The sun, when I can locate it, is a tiny orange dot.

GO Transit owes these old war horses a debt of gratitude. They helped build the commuter rail network GO has today, paving the way for the MP series locos and longer trains. Nice to see this one still in active service some 40 years on. Apparently some are getting new Metrolinx livery.

These DMU's for the Union-Pearson Express are the neatest thing. Unmistakably Cummins powered, with ZF (I think) final drives, they literally sound and feel like a highway coach on rails. A modern day Budd RDC car, without the signature 2 stroke screaming Jimmy's tho.

For my running/fitness following. I'm trying to actually start running. I went from interval stuff on the gym treadmill to actually running steady. This 10 min mile threshold seems impossible. Good shoes, light clothes, well hydrated. Can't seem to run well enough long enough. Any advice, thoughts?

Catch of the morning, while enjoying my morning walk. Vintage Cab car wearing spiffy new paint, and a vintage F59 providing power. Really cool this 59 survives to this day and still has no problem strutting her stuff in mainline commuter service 40 some years on. :)
