Scared, hell yes!

     Today, I have to go work in the Trim at Queensgate, where I run locomotives with remote control boxes. Not that I like the job. It is in the Trim and I can't take much more of that. The constant freakout when ever a tank car rolls by or I have to even walk by one. It is disheartening to know that I have to work in a place where I am completely terrified of my surroundings.

     I have worked in some really scary places. A foundry where I poured steel with my bare hands. I have worked on nuclear reactors on submarines. Been inside a massive (and I mean really friggin' big) crane working on the cables as the crane is moving. Those are the ones I can talk about. There are more I can't which were even scarier. I was not even afraid of those things because I took precautions to make sure I was working safe. Sure, I could have died at any moment doing any of those jobs. The part that is pathetic is that I am now absolutly freaked out anytime get net a railroad tank car. It just makes me shake.

     I have dreams about leaking acid cars which are so bad I wake up in a sweat and can't go back to sleep till the next day (maybe). This is one of those scary-ass things taht no one talks about with anyone. I think that I would appear weak and fragile if that happened. But, it has literally screwed up my life. I can't talk about it any more now. I have to go to work.

The Last Post

     This will be the last public post I will make on this blog. No one else in my family wants to do anything with it and since all I ever hear about posts is complaints, I am deleting it.

     Maybe in a few years (after the kids grow up and move out) I will restart it (just for me). Otherwise, it is a rather large waste of my time (which could be devoted to other more important things).

     This will all disappear in around 24 hours from the initial posting.

Please, have a better day tomorrow.

Serenity

     OK, while I was sorting through the paperwork, I had this on in the background. I might as well share it.

One of the only videos I have seen online which I have actually been impressed with.

     I can't say anything more about this except.... "Enjoy!" I normally think YouTube and all the silly items there and everywhere else on the web are just trifles you can either watch and waste your time, or watch it and then put it out of your mind as drivel. This one I actually liked (enough to post it here. Go figure.

Bathtub IV from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.

     If you want to look at the extreme amount of detail, you have to watch it in HD. Believe me, it is worth the time. But... You have to click on the Bathtub IV link and go there to see it in HD.

extra cash for bills (only)

     I received my tax refund last week. Not enough to go ona vacation or remodel the house (or even a room), but it is enough to pay off some bills. Yeh, I know. Absolutly zero excitement with this one. At least I am not dead yet.
