Just figured that I should start one. Have nothing to report yet however.

FFX 394 9764 (Yes, a D35LFR at pentagon, first time in quite a while).
Also spotted #6369 near Pentagon. So it is now a true West Ox unit.
Confirmed: 6149, 6161, and 6187 at Bladensburg
Meanwhile, I saw 2518 sitting in Bburg
Update: to my (not so much of) surprise, 6011 is still unrehabbed
Forgot to mention yesterday that I saw 2569 yesterday on the 38B
Plus today I saw 6030 and guess what? Still not rehabbed!
@New Flyer, I saw #2569 somewhere today. Also, glad you caught #2542, that one was tricky!
June 5, 2013 at approximately 5:00pm: Ride On Orion VII CNG (04)5927 operating route 74 service (Shady Grove to Germantown Transit Center via Great Seneca Highway) disabled in revenue service at Kentlands Boulevard and Great Seneca Highway. About 20 very annoyed passengers clustered around the bus waiting for a replacement bus.
What the hell? An Orion VII CNG on the 42?

The 70 sure is using a lot of Neoplan AN460s. And it appears that Orion Vs #4202 and #4203 are back from the dead...

On a final note, #6439 is now @ West Ox, while #6390 and #6391 are gone as well.
Yeah 6390-92 have been at Montgomery for a couple of weeks now.
Also, Bladensburg does several trips of the 42/43 during rush hour, so it shouldn't be a surprise especially since Bladensburg now has 2501-2519
Also, I saw 6035 today so it's not in rehab yet
You know, I could of sworn I saw C40LFs on the 42 before, so that makes sense.
About 30 min ago at Grosvenor Station, I saw 7098 on the J5 to Twinbrook, the block number was still B--- so it may have just moved
Over the past week, I have seen 5911, 5929, 5932, and 5945 all on the 98 (ever since the route was changed in January, it now goes past my house).
Ride On 5722 has been orange crushed.
It looks like the front sign came from a former cutaway since it was so small. Funny sight actually.
Saw #2566 with a smashed windshield parked with a WMATA maintenance vehicle parked behind it. It was on the 16 line (I would guess the 16G or 16J) and seemed to have occurred during yesterday's big rain storm.

Yesterday, I saw CUE Gillig Phantom #829 near Pentagon on 1-395 Not in service.
Not much activity today, but I did ride a new Omnilink Gillig Advantage.
PRTC WB VRE Station 274
PRTC FC/SF 190
FFX 372 9769
To add to this, there is apparently a bus #276 @ PRTC, so the 2013 order of Advantages could very well be up to as high as #280. I'll keep an eye out for other buses out there. Oh and one more thing, saw the now retired 1998-1999 FFX Orion V #7903 (30 Footer) in a storage lot along Route 1 in Fairfax. This bus been here since at least 2011 actually.

PRTC SR1 382
As I was heading home, I saw 1997 Orion V #4364 by Landmark Mall entering I-395 in Alexandria. Was this bus training?
Also confirmed, #6439 is now at West Ox. Seen it on layover in Southern Towers for the 28X.
Stopped by Four Mile Division yesterday and saw seven 1997 Orions (42-4300) on the US 1 side that are "Ready reserve" buses.
Really? If that's the case, that could explain why I saw #4364 the other day near Landmark.

Saw this on Friday and it was ART 5086 heading along Duke Street west, heading towards I-395, it might have been heading back to the garage.................or that parking lot next to FMR.
Saw 6 white Xcelsiors parked at CET.
White XDE40s? That's weird. Anyway, I saw several 1997 Orion Vs (from Four Mile Run) in service today.

In addition, seems that Royal street has partially repainted #2122. Saw that bus on the 10A and it looked really clean for the most part. Also, don't know for sure, but I could of sworn I saw #2186 today at Pentagon. Got to go out later this week to confirm this. One more thing, saw PRTC OmniLink #271 deadheading north on I-95, presumably to the PRTC bus depot.

#4262, #4299, and #4387 are now at FMR.
wow, those 42-4300s can't seem to stay in one place. I hope they will be at FMR long enough so I can get some shots, they haven't had diesels and high floored buses since around 2006.

Yeah, I was going to say that. I'm going to try and catch one. It will be tough though because they could be anywhere. And didn't some of these Orion Vs come from Annex?
