THE VIDEO: Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 passes over the Tunkhannock Viaduct.
A 1.2-million-pound steam legend crossing one of the largest concrete railroad viaducts ever built. Nicholson, Pennsylvania delivered an unforgettable scene today.
Fishing people will spend $0.00 and 47 minutes in the garage before buying a $12 product.
Prescription bottle → popping cork → chum dispenser.
Then the thing actually starts working in the water and suddenly the madness makes sense.
Building our stone BBQ from the ground up — one rock, one pour, one fire at a time
From digging footings and mixing concrete to stacking stones and firing up the first real cook. This thing is built to last through many seasons of backyard feasts, rain or shine.
Cali approves.
Nothing beats creating something useful with your own hands. Progress feels good.

There's a falcon the size of a robin that'll hunt your yard for free. And you can build it a house this weekend.
The American kestrel hovers over open ground and drops on grasshoppers, voles, and mice all day. It's the most widespread falcon in North America, found in nearly every state, and it's down by roughly half since the 1960s.
The reason is fixable: kestrels nest in tree holes they can't dig themselves, and we keep cutting down the dead trees that hold them. No cavity, no nest.
So give them one.
The whole box comes out of a single 8-foot 1x10. A 7¾-inch floor, a body about a foot and a half tall with a sloped roof you hinge at the top for cleaning, a 3-inch round hole up near the front, and 3 inches of wood chips in the bottom, since they bring no nesting material of their own. White pine, an afternoon, about twenty bucks.
Hang it 10 to 20 feet up on a pole or a dead tree at the edge of a field, pasture, or big open lawn, with the hole facing the open ground and pointed south or east. Put a baffle on the pole so raccoons can't climb to it.
