dday 1, such as it was

So the train left on time with slight overrcast, though pleasant weather.
There is still snow on some of the peaks in the sierra's.
I must say that the welded track makes a very quiet ride, as well as smoothing things out a bit.
There iss still some vibration, and I am slowly tapping things into the palm on the tiny keyboard. Thank goodness for the word recognition feature on this thing, as I end up backspacing a loot from the jiggly movement !
Just by wayy of a mplw, thuis is what unaided typing l0oks ke 0n the trn.
Add to that the constat pings from the train system network trying to connect to this thing, and me without a connection key!

So the trip, so far; a little nap, snoring as the nice neighbors try not to giggle at me. Lots of chidren
Upstairs, and folks need to be more aware of the issues on a train, like the need to keep shoes on, and not use the aisles as a racetrack!

A couple pictures so far, but Nevada is a bit bleak out here past Fernley. And the sunset was gray, only adding to the desolate view. Still I would rather take the train than make this drive solo.

Train item: hoseshoe neck pillow, definite plus, either commercial or homemade like mine, helps avoid odd cramps!
