August 2009 Observations

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

I now actually think I saw 4203 on my bike ride and not 4202.  When/where did you see it?

I saw it at Rhode Island Ave Station starting the P6...like I said it was wrapped in the Allstate ad

METROBUS NOTES:
I haven't seen 2509 nor 2515 all summer.  At last checked, they were the last 2 remaining buses wrapped in the "Go Green On Metro" rainforest theme.  Almost all of the buses that were wrapped in green for 3 years have now been unwrapped.

I actually saw 2515 yesterday at Pentagon, it's not in the rainforest wrap anymore...I don't remember seeing 2509 recently though.

Time of the P6 sighting?  I started the ride at 4:30, so I probably got down to 4th Street where I saw it at about 5:15.

I don't remember...I don't keep track of what time I took each photo. I'm about to post my pics of yesterday in about 5 minutes so get ready to check the photos thread.

And another note from yesterday: 4069 was on the S4 this morning...I was thinking it was a Montgomery morning run until I saw it on the S2 in the afternoon...maybe a loaner? or yet another move...

George, doesn't your camera tell you when you took the photo?

In the past 30 minutes:

2370, repainted (and I assume rehabbed) deadheading on Military Road
A D40LFR, I believe 6106, turning off Connecticut and into the terminal at Chevy Chase Circle
It wasn't 6103, since I saw that on the L8 a few minutes later however
6396 at Friendship Heights, starting the E4

Well tell that to the Orion V I saw pulling into Rosslyn yesterday. And it was 1 or 2 something in the afternoon so it wasn't a rush hour run.
