Evening, everyone.
Me Myself, I and Her all made it to Cancun in fine shape. Very nice resort and you should see the water - turquoise green and 86 degrees. There are lot of topless grandmas on the beach here. Some still look pretty good, but most of them need a lot more clothes.
Had a short thundershower today, which helped cool things off a bit. We're staying in Playa del Carmen, about 45 minutes south of Cancun. Much better atmosphere then the spring break kind of crowd in Cancun. Man, it's hot here. The humidity is so high your glasses fog up as soon as you leave the room. I'm glad we have the ocean and the pools to jump in. Everything looks good so far, no tropical storms and no volcano ash. The only place I can get internet is in the lobby, which is open air, and the mosoquitos are vicious. Right next to the bar though, so it sin't so bad. I wish I could drink something other than virgin pina coladas though.
Steve, it's always fun to sit there and play dumb when you have an "expert" giving you a talk. We had that when the department switched over to a new radio system. The guy didn't even know what frequency band it used and told us it was kind of like a cell phone with a mike.
I told the guys how the radio system really worked when he left.
Jeffrey, you continnue to amaze me with your mechanical skills. Be careful with that tank though. They are darned heavy and it's a good way to ruin your back again.
Bob, it does seem to be getting harder to get first generation units new, especially with DCC and sound, unless they are E or F units. There are tons of GP-7 and 9's but hardly any GP-18's or 24's, let alone Alco or Baldwin road units. That's too bad about the neuropathy. I have a hard enough time decaling with good hands.
Karl, I've pretty much given up on pre-orders. I suspect Atlas keeps pushing back the delivery date looking for more orders. I don't think I've had a pre-order with on-time delivery in two years. It seem like, once they finally come out, I can pick them up on e-bay for less than retail six months later anyway. I've found there's nothing I can't live without for six months.
Well, all the late night drunks are starting to show up in the lobby, so time for me to head back to the room and get a shower. I smell like a goat. Who knows, with anyluck maybe I'll get to chase grandma around the room tonight too.
Hope everything is going well for the folks I missed
It's like shooting fish in a dixie cup! Saddly I can't do that any more, my boss would follow me home and kick my @$$.
The joys of being self employeed and not have anyone to work with But Me, Myself, and I!
