Thanks . . . for the memories. [8D] Well I do admit, I am no Dean Martin. [;)] Between this "farm to food" thread and Q"s photo of his childhood steamer we certainly have been walking down memory lane the last few days. I certainly have enjoyed both. [:)] Hey Mookie . . . about them pigs. I used to have to hold the "little boys" when they became about 6 weeks old. Dad did the dirty deed [:0] I just had to hold them. But it took about 3 days to finally get the smell of my hands. [B)] [8] [:(] That certainly is NOT one of my favorite childhood memories. [;)] Well my friends didn't make it. [:(!] [:(] [:(!] I certainly am dissappointed. [:(] [V] [:(] They are die hard CNW fans and it turned out a CNW engine left Memphis and would be using the old SSW (Cotton Belt) route to Texas so they headed back to southeast Arkansas to catch it. [:(] I was all primed and ready to see them. [V] [:(] [V] What a let down. [:(] [:(] [:(] Well today is my Friday and it is about 50 outside but cloudy. Rain is suspose to happen today and this evening. My job tonight is the ready track where I have to hook up air hoses, hook up the MUs, and be the ground person for the required FRA brake checks. So that means, I will be wearing my bright orange (with reflective stripe) clown suit [:o)] . Trust me, the way they fit, you feel like a clown for sure. [:o)] [8D] [:o)] The only thing missing would be 20 inch long shoes but my steel toed shoes weight about 20 pounds, or so it seems. [8] Carl, I got "called in". [;)] We will wait and see how good it is tho. [;)] I am not sure how long it takes but a certain yardmast is very impressed with my work and told me last night that he called me in. [:)] It is funny how easy our job is, but how few people even really try to do the minimum. So when someone comes along and does more than the minimum it is noticed. Good ol' fashioned hard work still counts for something in this country. EVeryone Take Care
