Santa Claus is coming to town.....no, really he is (kinda' sorta') and forget the reindeer; he's riding the train!

Yes, America, there really is a Santa Clause!

My sausage pattie is the same size as my biscuit. Then I was able to break my bacon in half so they fit too...nothing like a piece of meat in every bite!!

NRC: ain't this something .. doing my rough-in for my plumbing to our bathroom. A while back while doing the electrical i realized there was a HVAC duct running where I wanted to install a light switch. Well lo and behold I didn't think ahead but this same blasted duct is in the way is in the way for the drain line to the second vanity

now i have to move everything so where I had about 60" to work with now I am down to 48" ... I could go with two small 19" sinks ... and have a small shelf inbetween roughly 10"....

I could have somethi|g like

__ __
| |_| |
| | | |

where the two peaks can be my sinks and the lower portions can be shelves

but those things are expensive ...

maybe I can work something larger but run my lines within the base cabinet and avoid the duct?

I was listening to Rip Daniels on "It's a new Day" radio broadcast and found out through his urging that Mississippi didn't ratify the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery until 1995

and they didn't officially remove the Jim Crow Laws until 2009

. So quite naturally my next move was to see how my home state (Alabama) stood. They ratified in 1865, whew. At least we aren't as bad them.

I really need to stop watching these documentaries LOL

just finished watching Koch Exposed even though the documentary was clearly and heavily biased i don't doubt it.

but after watching all I can wonder is who funded this?

Great news everyone....I have more stuff that nobody really cares about to share with you

! This 1990 photo from my own personal collection shows a former B&O SD50 leading an empty coal train near Hyattsville, MD. The B&O ceased to exist as a corporate entity in 1987 as it was folded into CSX Transportation. The SD50 locomotives are of some historical significance for several reasons:

* They were the last new locomotives to be delivered in the Chessie System paint scheme.

* Of the 144 units purchased by CSX Corp., the 20 that were assigned to the B&O were the last ever B&O locomotives to be delivered (#8595 was the last unit - the unit I captured was the 2nd to last). Of course, the B&O itself was America's first common-carrier.

* They were numbered in numerical sequence with the Seaboard System Railroad's SD50's which was an early sign that an eventual consolidation of CSX's railroads was imminent.

Yes....the B&O, Pennsylvania, and Reading were all real railroads.

In 1963, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway (C&O) gained control of the B&O. But rather than merging the two roads right away, the B&O was kept as a separate entity for a number of years until 1987 when the C&O completed its acquisition of the historic company. The merger was initially referred to as an "affiliation", but in 1973 the company made a move to give it a more unified image. Thus, Chessie System Railroads was formed as a holding company to manage the rail assets of the C&O which included the B&O and the jointly owned Western Maryland Railway Co.

Well, since we're on the subject of quirky interests that nobody cares about, these DMGs are pretty awesome:

Some cool custom controls. Clock speed mod, I'm not sure what the other knobs are for. Could be midi, prosound volume output, backlight brightness, groove, pitch shift, etc.

Remind me of Boss DS-1....I feel like I want to step on it.

I remember getting the original Gameboy for Christmas when I was 10 or 11 yrs old. I played Tetris all. night.

Memories.

And don't even get me STARTED on Link's Awaking. That theme song is eternally burned into my memory. I probably went through hundreds of batteries playing that game.
