Well now the slogan war is going fairly nice. No shots fired as yet, or none I have heard anyway. I am getting a good laugh out of some of them and the slogan thread is kind of funny too. I like the one about the scalded chicken. [:)] Today was one of them good/not so good days. I guess it is Fergie's turn to laugh at Jim. We are not talking about soldering irons but another electric device--hair clippers. I had a slight war with a pair today. I decided to give myself a trim since I didn't make it to the barber shop Saturday and I have to work in the wire shop (on days) starting tomorrow. (The wire shop has a bunch of women in it, so I needed a haircut.) Well to make a long story short I got mixed up on the attachments and put on the wrong one. I won the war but it got in a few good licks first. [;)] In honor of the occasion I have decided to declair this coming week . . . HAT WEEK. [:)] [;)] [:D] OK, Fergie, up off the floor (that is unless you are soldering under the table again) AND you can stop laughing now. [;)] [:)] I went railfanning today and saw a few trains. I also saw the railroad bridge going up and had to go by there for a few pics. That was the good part of the day, that and eating good fried fish. (I had fried fish on Saturday once, and twice today, so I am officially fished out for about a week. [:0] ) While down at the river taking pics I got off the "beaten path" and walked around trying to get a better angle. After I was there a while I started itching. I didn't think I had gotten into poison ivy but I went looking to see if any was around and sure enough as my luck would have it, I found it. [:(!] [V] [:(!] So I cut short my photo op and head home to shower. On the way home I could have caught another train but showering was more on my mind at the moment. Tomorrow will really tell if my shower achieved its goal, I certainly hope so. Now back to the lift section of the bridge. I took some pics of the lift section in the up position. I also noticed that where the bridge had raised there were now two "doors" where the rails ended. I guess these prevent the train from falling into the water. I also wager that these serve as weights, as the bridge goes up these must come down. I am sure some of us here are old enough to remember the old window weights. [;)] [}:)] [;)] Sorry if that jogs your memory, some of us probally don't want to remember that. [B)] I could not tell if the "doors" were concrete or steel. (That might be a good question for the stupid question thread.) Well if things don't change, I am on loan to the wire shop till the first of the year. So now I have to think about going to bed much earlier than usual. Tomorrow will probally be a long day for me as I am not use to getting up at 5 am to be at work at 7. I use to love getting up early, but now since I work nights have become an owl. Wish me luck, hooo hooo. [;)] Remember SHIP IT ON THE FRISCO
