And the last 2 Japanese soldiers were captured on the island in 1949. They had no idea the war had ended and had been hiding in the tunnels for years.

You have any idea how hard it is to find parts for a 1950 Wupperman?
1950? Shoot, 1750 maybe. Sorry about all your dentist problems, buddy. Must be hard to answer the DTR line, huh?

Hey Maw

Not sure what his job entails, Im an Inspector. I make sure that they crew that is doing the construction is doing it how the company, in this case Shell, wants it done. My forte is welding, but Im overseeing a boring crew on this job until the tie ins start.

Its long hours far from home but I get more money than most people would believe doing it.

This job here they give us a minimum of 10 hrs a day, regardless of the hours worked, such as rainout etc. Lately Ive been working 14 to 15.

Mornin' all!

Busy in here last night.... Mama and I went to see Shutter island last night. Not bad. Had a few twists to it but I kinda had it figured out by then end. Still the tickets were free so it was a cheap date...

-6* this AM..... Apparently I didn't get the truck plugged in very well last night for some reason. It sure didn't want to start today..... Gonna warm up a bit though.

Gotta meet my gym partner in a bit. We're running this AM. I'm reasonably certain he's trying to kill me with this exercise crap.



All times are GMT -5. The time now is 05:54 PM.
