    Coffee Shop Part III

    Hi All: It's been awhile. I've been in and out, just didn't have much to say. Ken I thought you had that job all done? I've operated Termites and they didn't impress me that much. Get a larger machine or a mini track hoe. The track hoes have many times the dig power of a Termite and are...

    Evening All: Ken: I'm sorry to hear about your co-worker. That is a real shocker, espeicially since he was so young. I'm very happy that I never took up smoking.

    Evening All: Just a quick note here. The time change has my body saying it's time to go to bed and it's early. I did a little more to the headframe today. I think that I'll give it a coat of primer tomorrow. That usually shows up any places that need work. I guess I'll say Good Night and hit...

    Morning All: Paul: That was the SS Milwaukee that was lost in Lake Michigan. They think that the sea gate at the stern failed to keep out the water. It was found a couple of years ago by divers and is a real fund of artifacs. Of course no one is going to mess with it because of the loss of...

    Josh: The Fitz was lost on Nov 10 about 7pm. I always go down to the mine train and blow the whistle on the 10th. One long and two short, the salute from one ship to another on the lakes. Also they ring the bell a 30th time for all those that have gone missing on the lakes. The first ship to...

    Unfortunatly the ringing doesn't stop when the hearing aids are in, I wish that it did. I've gotten used to the ringing so I don't notice it except when I'm talking about it, like now. The hearing aid in my left ear caused an infection that in turn caused the loss of my ear drum. I had to have...

    Makes perfect sence to me too. I guess we're both in trouble. Of course then he'd probably accuse me of sleeping on the job.
