Got in to Jax at about 9:15am, had a freind pick me up from the station. She told me all about the game last night (Yeah, I'm pissed at the NFL for moving the game to a Saturday night when I was booked to travel). Couldn't check in to the hotel until 3pm so we had a great day together. Just hung out her her house, watched the BIlls game, took care of her dogs and such. Then we had a nice dinner at Cracker Barrel (I didn't want fast food after 14 hours on the Amtrak, then a quick sandwich at WaWa on the way to her place). Let me tell you, Amtrak food SUCKS! and they have the ABSOLUTE WORST coffee on the planet!!!!!! Anyway, it's great to be back in the Jacksonville area, even if it's just for a few days right now, I love it here.
Oh, and we joked that since the Amtrak was early (instead of it's usual late arrivals) and that the Jags won the AFC South and in the playoffs (It's been a long time coming), that we must be in an alternate universe! LOL ![]()

I had an aunt and uncle take Amtrack once, from Ft. Lauderdale to Hersey PA.. They said it sucked because it felt like you had to stop every 15 minutes at a new station and all the saw, all the way up was people's backyards lolol

I wouldn’t actually do it (unless I committed a crime and needed a get away vehicle after I disposed of my phone and had proper ID made up and plenty of cash on me). But I can see the allure.

The clickety clack and scenic views, bridges and what not are cool. But I’ve never traveled slam track. Drifter is pretty damned lucky it didn’t derail. Safe travels drifter.

My grandfather owned a plane, little cessna, he taught me to fly. After about a year, I was flying on my own, with him in the co-pilot seat, of course. Had my own log book too. Logged quite a few hours. Even got to land a few times, assisted of course. But I absolutely hate commercial airlines.. If my memory is correct, last commercial airliner I flew was Pan-Am lolol We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Hell, driving takes less time than Amtrak. I always take the Amtrak whenever I need to travel when I can. I come from a Railroad family, My Great Grandfather was an engineer on the B&O Railroad, he saw the switch from steam to diesel. His Son, was also an engineer on the B&O, later the Chessie System then CSX. His Son now works for CSX as a crossing inspector. So my families railroad history goes back about 100 years........ And yes, I had the pleasure to have known my Great Grandfather, I was like 22 years old when he passed away........ ![]() (01-08-2023, 10:17 PM)The Drifter Wrote:(01-08-2023, 10:11 PM)Jags Wrote: The “right” train ride, is pretty darn cool.

My family has been with those railroads as well. Mainly my dad. The rest (about 4 others including my wife) have been the obvious one now a days. But I have some Chessie system and B&O memorabilia that I was told to keep because “one day..(collectors and such)”. I personally never got into it. I think it’s cool. But my family was never the “train enthusiasts” but more so made careers with the company. I do think a good train ride can be special. I took a few, don’t remember where. I know it wasn’t Amtrak and it was all rural. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Well, back in my younger days I was a playa (in my 20's). Used to have a circuit of bars/clubs I would go to on different nights to scope things out. More or less, it was like sitting in a tree stand waiting for the right doe to go by. Once I locked on to a target.... it was time to take my shot. Sometimes I missed, other times it turned in to a confirmed kill.... LOL. Back in my day, you actually had to go to alot of bars, spend alot of money and buy a lot of ladies drinks before you even scored. Was it all worth the time and effort? Sometimes yes, sometimes no....... I did get a little too wasted at times and went home with Catherine Bach only to wake up with a Dr Ruth clone..... Then it was (In the immortal words of Snagglepuss)...... Exit, Stage Right!!!!! LOL ![]()

She was able to get around...slowly...with a good deal of pain (which is expected for 7-10 day). Friday morning she woke up and was just acting 'off'. To try to shorten the full version, she passed out while she was making coffee. Then she was talking gibberish and not understanding what I was saying to her. I was fortunately able to catch her and lower her to the floor. Had to have her transported to the ER. After spending many hours in the ER...as is usually the case...all tests came back normal. They said the most likely cause was that she was dehydrated. After speaking with her, I found out she hadn't eaten for 16 hours, so the dehydration explanation seems pretty feasible. They actually gave her a sandwich and some snacks in the ER and I could see the difference after 15-20 minutes. So we got home at about 4:00 yesterday. All seems pretty good this morning, I mean, other than the post-op pain. But even that she says had subsided a bit. I'm just glad you were around for that episode. Couldn't imagine my spouse taking a fall after surgery. You may have helped her avoid significant complications with that catch. Hopefully there's no more scares, first thing I thought though was some drug interactions.
