What a crappy day!

Mud truck died TWICE on the way to the event this morning. When it was running, the engine temp was 210 and the tranny temp was 250.

Buncha little rug rat twerps at the event. Spilled milk all over the rug in the trailer after being told NOT to bring it in in the first place.

Now that we're home we're under a tornado warning with 2 on the ground a mile east of us.

Take care Scott, you don't need a bad hair-do on top of what's already happened. (and don't cry........)

Back in the good old bad days I used to drink a lot of Canadian R&R. Cheap but good with Coke.

What up DTR? At work, actually was able to cook a nice big ribeye on the grill without having to shut it off and restart it 5-6 times. Now I am hoping nothing comes in for the next hour or its gonna get ugly real fast.


Sorry to hear about the mudder issues Scott, you know the number if I can help. I am phone tagging with whom I need to talk to on the other issue.


Hey T-rad, work picking up for you? Rain let off down there yet?

I will watch the CBC as they would probably think this is a serious documentary to follow. I bet its a well plumbed network of toilet smugglers with you involved.

Evening Tim!

You spoke too soon, I've been planning on smoking up a few briskets and bring them in for the co-workers to enjoy. We also have a full kitchen and BBQ grill too at work so i could make something good for lunch one day. All in all, we eat pretty good in my dept. Lots of cooking out and homemade meals being cooked!


Evening everyone, got some feed back today on the loco work I did the other day. Crew was switching some cars out this morning and got to test the brakes. The engineer about fell out of his chair when operating it and came on the radio and said the brakes are now 100% better then they were before I fixed them.

Grilled some steaks for dinner tonight, came out good! Had some mushrooms and taters to go with them. I have an extra t-bone if anyone is still hungry!
