Yep....we're a three truck/SUV family...haven't had a car since 99....Maine winters give you a healthy respect for Mom Nature......As Dirt Harry said... "A man's got to know his limitations"


Now more importantly.....how does that song from Hee Haw go???.....

Thanks Jim...I'm kinda blushing now[:I] Most of those however probably couldn't be discussed in this family forum or anywhere where my wife my accidently get wind of.......or my next post could be "eligible batchelor looking for cute girl who likes trains and broke men. "[}:)]

However speaking of the Peoples Republic....we are having the annual winter rain fest....which apparently catches the entire region off guard becasue it happens the same time every year. Southern CalIfornIansare not particularlt adept drivers to begin with..add some water and let the fun begin.......lessons from today water driving:

1. Poor weather handling of your vehicle does not improve with price.
2. " " " " " " with how good you think you look.
3. Keep whoever you are talking on the cell phone to on the line..they can call CHP for you after you hit the guardrail.
4. Pricey 4wds don't perform any better on wet concrete than Geo Metros
5. The puddle of water you just hit and made your car pull to one side...guess what the next will do the same....don't let consistancy continually surprise you.
6. Big SUVs and 4wd Pickups due to greater weight, hold the road well in wet conditions ..until a change in direction or braking is required...SLOW DOWN ......See Newton's Laws for more.....

Did I mention that with any luck I get be released from confinment here in 2.5 years? [8D]


How'd ya like that rainstorm TV coverage we just had..I particularly like the TV reporters standing in a downpour, soaked to the bone saying "Well, its really raining hard here..." Then an hour later they go back to same soaked reporter in the same location, there even wetter, and telling us again, "Well, its really raining hard here..." Then at 11pm they go back to the SAME reporter who by now looks like a drowned rat, saying "Well, its really raining hard here..."

For those of you outside Kalifoonia (our official new name) this is a common occurance everytime we are faced with that perplexing dilema of trying to figure out why there are all these tiny water droplets falling out of the sky?

You guys have added an entirely new definition of permissive signaling to my vast warehouse of railroad arcana. P on signals indeed...

Just remember.... void where prohibited and you face arrest in Alabama for urinating in public.

Which reminds me, now that EMD and GE (who brings good things to life- attention, Dr. Frankenstein, your locomotive works are calling) are environmentally friendly...when a locomotive gets serviced, do the crew comfort retaining tanks get pissed off? If it gets done wrong, does the poor hostler get pissed on? If the railroad puts off servicing, does this mean the locomotive is in deep s**t?

I think we have a UTU negotiating point here....

Hump Day Helpers . . . . . [8D]


Open Mouth, Insert Foot

Weddings

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little boy whispered
to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?"
"Because white is the color of happiness and today is the
happiest day of her life." Her mother tried to explain, keeping
it simple so the child would understand.
The boy thought about this for a second, then ask, "So, why
is the groom wearing black?"
