Forgot about the upcoming demolition.  I guess we'll know when It;s going to happen when the equipment shows up.

Finally recovering from the weekend - a lot of driving and disruption of routine.  Wouldn't mind so much if the show had gone on as planned.

Working on a narration app for the railroad.  Good thing I've done the narration a bunch of times...  I'm not assembling the app - just providing the input.

Our St. Pat's party was 8" of blue snow (glop) .... the stuff is playing havoc with the rail transit side of Denver railroading

And the forcasters are saying we will get that #@!&# this weekend. After a BEAUTIFUL 72 degree full bright sunny day. But it is Spring which is known for its swings in weather. Enjoy the good ones while you've got them.

We get to celebrate the Day after St Paddy's with free beer!  Grossly and improperly loaded semi trailer collapsed on I-76 just northeast of Denver (BNSF Irondale) with a broken frame. The sag in the middle of the trailer should have been a warning.(all those Kentucky, Iowa and Indiana basketball fans can drown their sorrows - maybe those teams will learn to play defense, quit reading their press clippings and quit playing jungleball now. Come to think of it, Naw - that would require them using their brains)

Hey now, the only reason Iowa lost was because someone put a lid on the basket.
