    RAILROAD CROSSING SAFETY - Sheriff Officer Hit - could have been any of us.

    Good point. Our home in NJ was just 1-1/2 blocks from the tracks with several crossings through town. Lots of whistle blowing day and night. We had no problems sleeping through it, even in the hotter weather with our windows open - no A/C in those days. Additionally, the approach for Newark...

    RAILROAD CROSSING SAFETY - Sheriff Officer Hit - could have been any of us.

    Thanks for that perspective, Sir. I was not going to mention it but..... When I first saw this news and the video I had a bit of a flashback. So, here's a story..... Turn back the clocks to the first day of school for the '64-'65 school year. It was the first day of Junior High School for...

    RAILROAD CROSSING SAFETY - Sheriff Officer Hit - could have been any of us.

    A Midland County (Texas) Sheriffs Deputy was struck by a train while responding to a "baby not breathing" emergency and surprisingly "walked away from" the wreckage. Railroad grade crossings are DANGEROUS ! ! ! This incident was caught on camera and should be a valuable lesson to all of us no...

    Is this an M37 water pump pulley?

    WOW! Good call. I think I can agree that this might be TWO stacked and stuck-together pulleys. One way to be heck this out would be to stick your finger into the hole in the hub. If you feel two "layers" of sheet metal with a gap between them, then our "theory" that they are "twins" would be...

    Where's AHAB ?

    I just finished posting this week's Sunday Sermon - for Mother's Day - and, although this week's message includes no links to YouTube music, THIS piece came to mind. (Maybe I'll go back and add it as a post-script.) All of this talk of musical talent - or the lack thereof - had gotten me to...

    Where's AHAB ?

    Rocky, Are those furballs trying to tell you that you're MANGLIN' that MANDOLIN??? Persevere, my friend. Nothing worth doing is going to be easy. BTW: I have no.... NO musical talent. The only thing I ever try to play is the radio.

    K53 Communications Van BOX found... (May 2018)

    I posted that quoted statement back in SEPTEMBER of 2018 ! As of this date, May 7, 2019 we continue to be extraordinarily PATIENT. The emotional attachment the family has to this box is waning to our benefit, but that cord is not yet completely frayed and still cannot be considered "severed"...
