The Petroleum Club building in downtown Tulsa from back in 2016.

I'm still under the weather from my full knee replacment last week. I'm making good progress on recovery. I apologize but I won't be able to visit too many blogs in the near future.

Skywatch Friday - 20 February 2025 Edition

Expo Square Train2

This is a locomotive parked as an exhibit at the Tulsa Fairgrounds. It spent it's working life deep in the forests of Southeast Oklahoma pulling lumber trains for a logging company. This photo was taken ten years ago, since then, a group of retired railroad company employees have taken it over and really spruced it up. They are looking for a new home for it. I love old train stuff, what can I say! I worked for a short time for the oil and gas sub of Union Pacific Railroad. They still send me their railroad calendar every year and I love it.

Turkey Mountain under a Full Moon

Another photo from yesteryear, February 2015. A reminder that back in the day when I worked I used to run the trails at Turkey Mountain at night. I carried a headlamp and a hand light and ran all over that mountain for miles in the dark. There were a few times where I didn't know where I was but I never got lost! (figure that one out). I tripped and fell a few times which hurt.

I have knee surgery coming up early next week (falling on the mountain at night didn't help.) I am preparing next week's SWF post this week so it should be good to go at the usual time next Thursday, the 20th.

Untitled

Son Logan participating in Therapeutic Horseback Riding at a facility about a half hour north of Tulsa. He did this for years and got pretty good at riding. We did this every Saturday morning for a long time. I was kind of the unofficial photogrpher for the outfit, which is no longer in business. I took photos of the other kids and gave them to their parents.
