Ten years ago…11 September 2007…

I know it’s a day early but I have to work tonight starting at midnight.

I turned 53 on my ballast train on the BNSF KO Subdivision in North Dakota. I had tied up the previous night in Jamestown ND. It was a spot dump and went very well and I was done before noon….

I know it was a significant day in the history of Our Republic…..but I was kind of busy.

Tomorrow is the completion of another trip around the Sun……..

After the events 8 years ago with my left kidney, I have been more or less objective concerning the attacks that September day 16 years ago…. I’m still here. If symptoms had manifested, I would have had to get my affairs in order.

To those who may get upset over my viewpoints please remember this one thing, I was facing a major surgery to remove said kidney with the “large mass.”

I will put on my kippa tomorrow and say a prayer for the memory of those lost that day and those who were lost going in harm’s way to kill the perpetrators.

Funny Stuff

Found this one on Facebook…..

Personal experiences with this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

More potassium stuff

I am off of the potassium supplement along with the water pills. After finally getting to see my outside doctor, no more of either of these.

I have to go back in 4 to 6 weeks for a follow up. Blood was drawn, again……..

I’may fed up with getting holes poked in my arms😝😝😝😝

Eyes Of A Stranger

It may seem strange but lately when I look in the mirror………………it’s not me. I have a few ideas about it. One is the aging process….but I have dropped 16 pounds since January.

I am a small person to begin with……………….It may be the really shitty working hours and the screwed up sleep cycle or lack of any sleep cycle that I have that may be having an impact. The neurologist at the VA said the graveyard shift is hard on people, especially the older we get.

Besides, I like Queensryche……………………..

The City of Light.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station took this space photograph of Paris, which is often referred to as the “City of Light.” The photo was taken around local midnight time on April 8, 2016 and the glow of the bright lights against the dark night sky illuminates the intricate web of streets that weave through the city. http://goo.gl/f5YaCw

Warm Place and A Cold Beer…………………..

The title says it all, no further commentary is required methinks……………………………………..

 

Yeah…………………………..

The Great Escape: 50th anniversary – Telegraph.

Good Grief, I was 10! I saw this movie at that age………My Dad took me to it. We had a little grey VW Beetle as the Family Car…………………………………..

My favorites were James Garner, Donald Pleasence and Sir Richard Attenborough. Steve McQueen became a bit of a movie legend in this one.

I was 10…………………………I have to let that sink in.

Steve McQueen became the definition of cool on a level with the Rat Pack.

 

Trip to Tehachapi

I had to go to Tehachapi this morning to pick up my new orthotic inserts. It was a photo op kind of morning.

On the lighter side………………….

Sunday Morning Coffee………………………

I Aim To Misbehave

Hmmmm. Ain’t it the truth?

Serenity……………….You can’t take the sky from me

Just because I can. I love this show and I think this is an attitude worth having.

San Andreas Fault at Avenue S on CA 14

This is on the 14, aka The Antelope Valley Freeway, just uphill south of Palmdale at Avenue S. Whenever we go “down below” we leave the North American Plate and go to the Pacific Plate.
