Give Me A Freakin’ Break

Audi comes out with an Electric SUV that transforms into a pickup.

So this thing is jam packed with gimmicky gizmo’s that are all “Creative Innovations”.

And I do mean jam packed.

From top to bottom and end to end.

All the cool rich kids are going to want this, right?

The problem with “Creative Innovations” is, when they stop working.

I wouldn’t even want to take a guess at what it would cost to fix that sliding rear glass mechanism or that fancy flip out steering wheel if it suddenly crapped out.

Pretty likely more that what I have been paying for entire vehicles for the last twenty years.

Nope, nope and nope.

You can have all of that crap.

Call me Old Fashioned all you want but I am going to keep my REAL TRUCK

as long as I possibly can.

You can have your D Cell Special on steroids.

Old Train Thursday.

The Goat Canyon Trestle, located in San Diego County, California, is the world’s largest wooden railroad trestle. Built in 1919 as part of the Carrizo Gorge Track, it stands over 600 feet long and 186 feet high. Constructed with redwood beams, the bridge is a testament to the engineering prowess of its time. The area around the trestle, known as Anza-Borrego, is an arid desert, and the construction of the railroad track through this landscape was a challenging task. It required the building of 17 tunnels and numerous trestles, earning it the nickname “the impossible railroad.” Over the years, the Goat Canyon Trestle has suffered significant damage from fires and floods. In 1976, Hurricane Kathleen caused the collapse of several tunnels and trestle beams, leading the Southern Pacific Railroad to abandon the line. Despite its abandonment, the Goat Canyon Trestle remains a popular destination for hikers and adventurers, with a 6-mile roundtrip hike to reach the top. The area is also home to abandoned rail cars, adding to the allure of the site. As of January 2018, the Baja California Railroad was assessing the line for potential repairs to allow the track to return to operation.
