Good morning....Coffee in high demand this morning.
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant...except Alice! The Alice's Restaurant Masacree in three part harmony!
Jim - In sandy ground takes a bit longer than in the clay due to the wet sand sliding in around the pipe. We have to wait 2 hours before digging (811) so others mark their utilities. This gives us time to get equipment on sight. The time consuming part is taking the trench shield in and out as you hand dig around the main as you get close to it. Once it's clean around the pipe a stainless patch is clamped on the pipe. Normally it's about a 5 hour job start to finish,in the sand 2-3 hours more and a bigger hole also.
Next project on my list is to remove all leftover meat from Turkey and ham carcasses.
That ham, egg, onion and pepper omelet looks really good this morning Flo.
Just make sure you can still move at greater than 3mph. Won't say why because it's quite morbid.I have trouble stepping up his front steps and one of these days I'll fall on my butte (the Montana way of spelling butt). Hard to get old and advance age sure catches up with a person.
There were a lot of US servicemen did that in both countries, down here. I hope he was one that made it back home too. My most vivid memory of one such was as a child in early years, visiting an amusement park near the City center of Auckland NZ and being confronted by this tall US Navy sailor in the aisle between sideshows, standing in front of me (towering above to be more accurate) with his arms full of plastercast figurines, he'd won in a throwing target booth. He handed me this little black&white Scotch Terrier figure. Had it for years on the fireplace mantle and other places, till it finally vanished somewhere.During WW2 My father spent a short time in Australia on his way to the Philippine Islands and New Guinea.
Appliances:
Over a year ago our washing machine's transmission took a turn for the worst and our appliance service guy who owns the business said he would sell sell us a new machine, but we would be better off repairing our old machine. He would guarantee the entire "old" machine for one year for anything that could go wrong, He said the new gears are plastic or styrene and just don't last.
Those couplers without the trip pins look great after some weathering is completed. That will be a nice locomotive painting project and please keep us posted on your progress with some photos.
Espeefan- Nice looking trucks. I usually put latex rust paint on my wheels.
