It's Tradition

            and you mess with tradition.(Letterkenny) Over the last 4 years or so around Thanksgiving weekend and Christmas when my wife and I would travel to see my family we would always end up meeting Kyle to so we could light something up on the GTW. Usually this consisted of Barns or SD40's but this year was a bit different. My wife had to work Thanksgiving, and with Covid it prevented us from all getting together but the only thing that still happened was meeting Kyle for some GTW action. After a flash failure at Charlotte I was able to redeem myself in Gaines as train A450 with a still clean 8952 leads south past the little depot. One thing that happened that hadn't up until this point over the dozens of times Kyle and I have been set up at the same place we fired at almost the exact same time.  His lights filled in some of my spots and same for him but we didn't ruin each others shots with too much light. We have always been a second or two off but never to the point where we went oh Fuck did we just fuck up.
