Ummm....wouldn't that be Franklin?
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
Good evening all,
Went to the Harvard Museum of Natural History today. Survived. Wife wanted to see glass flower exhibit. Spent an hour doing that...... Tomorrow we tackle the Aquarium and the DUKW tour. Hopefully less intense. Wish us luck as we will need it....... I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Happy Hump Day

2 longs days, got out at 1130 and 12 respectively and just dog tired.
On a good note, I did book my "trip" so I'll be seeing summer go out at Seaside Park ON THE BOARDWALK Labor Day Sunday to Tuesday at a resort. Really excited, need the time away.
Job interview today at 530 and then County Fire meeting at 8, should be a shorter night.

Good morning all!
Raining here. That's good. 86 high today. 93 tomorrow.
RT, Don, & Becky - cool facts!
Fife - bummer about the 1309. I am still amazed someone would take on a project of that magnitude. Wow! Nice having all the family in!
MIke C - careful driving! Sounds like the trip is going well! They just pulled the USS Constitution out of dry dock from repairs. Don't know if it is available for tours yet. If so it is a "must do" item for Boston.
Regards, Roy
Mornin' boys. Cloudy and 64 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. All of my princesses are in town, + grandson. Youngest gave me the longest hug of her life as I pulled into driveway. Life's good.
In case you haven't heard, C & O 1309's debut has been pushed back to the winter. It is what it is folks.
Phish - Happy Anniversary.
Got to sign onto a real computer tonight. Long day today. 8+ hours on the road to get to Boston area. Part of it my fault, but some of it due to Boston area traffic. I hope tomorrow goes well. Roy, thanks for starting the pot this month. I hope everyone has a good day.
Penny Trains dbaker48 way to confining aboard the ship. and to think there were 2700 crew members on board! Wow! During the entire time we were touring her, I couldn't get that thought out of my mind. Hats OFF to all you Navy guys !!!!! If that's not amazing enough, I think it's even more amazing how fast they can design and build em'! Think of how many came out of the yards between Jan 1942 and the summer of 45! Tongue Tied

Penny Here's some factual history about two of them. The Wisconsin BB-64 is said it's so long it reaches from Wisconsin to Kentucky. ( now the history behind that) it is actually about 4" longer than the rest as it was in a colision and They replaced the bow on it, with the bow from the Kentucky which was just starting to be built. And they scrapped the Kentucky. The Iowa ( thanks Don for the correction been a few years since I was on the Wisconsin( 26) actually has a bathtub on board, it was put there for Teddy Roosevelt while on it for the surrendering of Japan. ( he was crippled if you remember)
