NESU:  Thank you for the additional info on Casey Jones and the famous wreck.  Enjoyed the reading. [tup] TrainFreak409:   On your higher-decibel airhorn & cowcatcher project, was hoping the name "Project Cannonball" would make you laugh a bit.  [:)]   I thought it conveys a sense of "accident-waiting-to-happen". [:)]   I agree, judging from the video, they do seem too tame.  I'm sure you'll figure out a way to pump them up.  Then reshoot the video so we can see your neighbors come running out of their houses in the background to investigate what's going on. CNW 6000:  [#welcome] Dan pcarrell:  Great pictures!  I too have some pictures somewhere of one of those little cranes (Burro).  When you see one for real, you wonder how it stays on the tracks if it's lifting anything at all to the sides. der5997;  Appreciate the warm welcome.  Been a while since I last visited Nova Scotia.  I think it was 1978.  Still have a knot on my head from diving into a pool at an Indian Reservation motel and hitting bottom...all I remember was diving, then waking up with a crowd around me.  Was treated like a king until we checked out...LOL.  Was my first venture into Canada, through NB to the Bay of Fundy with a side trip to PEI.  Beautiful places, all of them.  I see where many Harley-Davidson riders take their summer trips up your way...I'd like to do that sometime in the near future. inch53:  Sounds like you got some needed relief with the grandkids departure.  Is it me, or did our parents MAKE us behave when visiting relatives, in public, at restaurants (the rare times we ate out), and AT HOME.  I watch kids today throw tantrums in the stores and their parents just ignore them...where did they learn that technique?  Makes you just want to smack the kid, then the parent.  Of course, when it's your child and grandchild...well, that's different.  They're never that bad...(I'm a grandparent too...been there). Gumby4:  What a wonderful thing you and your band did, playing music at the rescue mission.  Five stars to you, especially under such adverse conditions. Had a great ride today down and back to/from Lynchburg, VA.  About 1 hr 15 min down, with one stop at my favorite barbeque place, the Blue Ridge Pig on rt 151 in Nellysford.  Stopped in at the Harley shop in Lynchburg for a shirt/souvenir.  Return trip was on the Blue Ridge Parkway...ooooo, that cool mountain air felt way too good!  Hit one small rainstorm, but it just felt right good and maybe I can skip my Saturday night bath for next week now...LOL. Today is the 61st anniversary of the sinking of my father's ship, the USS Indianapolis.  All the survivors, about 80 left, are in mourning for the next 5 days...that's how long they were in the water.  1196 went in the water, and only 317 survived.  Went to the cemetary to spend a few minutes with Dad and remind him that I haven't forgotten.  Took my youngest son with me...Joey, age 22...his first ever motorcycle ride, and I think he really enjoyed it.  I told him I have my Yamaha 650 Special in the driveway waiting for him if he learns to ride and takes/passes a driver safety course offered by the local Community College.  50mpg...he's thinking about it. Thank you, all you veterans out there.  I appreciate your sacrifice and honor your sense of duty.  Thanks for the freedoms I and others worldwide enjoy today.  Take care, all. IndySon
