What Are You Doing In Real Life II

[Eichhörnchen]

Dirty great wood pigeon came down the chimney today. Luckily there's a big fireguard covers the fireplace in, so Moira soon had a hold of him and he just shed a few feathers as he flew off. Why wasn't he covered in soot, I wondered. We had a proper chimney sweep for the first time last year, so he must've done a good job.

[Moonlight]

Did he bring Mary Poppins with him Mr Squirrel, :D and if that foreign person stuck his sweepers pole any where near Mary Mr Squirrel I'll have your guts for garters. :yep:

Was a bit surprised this morning to notice that bees have taken residence in the wall mounted box at the rear of the property usually reserved for Blue Tits but it is interesting to see the drone bees hard at work.

I'll be letting them get on with life unmolested unless they turn their attention on the family pet dog when he is doing his regular rounds.

Planter beds all in with crops in and timed sprinklers set. Now off with the wife to buy flowers for the flowerbeds. Put new starter in boat's Nissan and remounted on Catalina. Temps in the nineties with no shade is hard on 66 year olds; I preferred last week's cool 60's...better for chores.

Getting used to the idea that I had a year's worth of cholesterol in the form of bacon and more bacon, while enjoying a weissbier and pure mathematics 101. Not a bad combo that, seeing the great mathematicians must have been plastered witless to come up with their ideas. I will do with lesser ideas.

[Sailor Steve]

Went to a jam session. Played some music. Talked to a few other players. Had a good time.

Leaving for home I turned left out of the parking lot...across a median divider I didn't see, accelerating quickly. Right front tire shredded. Drove it a couple of miles until I finally found a parking lot with enough light to change the tire by. Spare tire is under the car. Loosened the nut holding it in place, per the manual. Wouldn't come off. I suspect it's been hanging there since the car was new. Drove the car to a repair shop I'm familiar with. Rather than sleep in the car I left it there and walked home.

Now it's 0400 in the a.m., and I'm waiting to take the bus back down there when they open at 0800. Needless to say I haven't been to bed. I only hope the rim isn't bent, but I won't be surprised if it is. I'll know for sure in just three more hours.

Wicked stuff first noted by Magellan's officer Pigafetta in 1523 in his detailed account of the Magellan expedition. Lambanog is a very clean-tasting spirit, with a subtle, sweet finish. This gives it plenty of versatility in cocktails, since you can pretty much pair it with anything you want. Try it with citrus or lychee juices, for sweet, but potent mixes. Its clean taste also makes it perfect for infusions. Traditionally, Lambanog is steeped with either raisins or prunes to give it a sweeter flavor. With the variety of fruits we have, the types of infusions you can do are endless. For the enterprising barkeep and the alcohol gourmand, feel free to experiment. It’s easy. Place Lambanog in a mason jar, steep your favorite fruit in it, and delight your guests with an apéritif you made yourself. He fought beside Ferdinand Magellan at the failed amphibious assault on the village of Lapo Lapo So we continued to retire for more than a good crossbow flight from the shore always fighting up to our knees in the water. The natives continued to pursue us, and picking up the same spear four or six times, hurled it at us again and again. Recognizing the captain, so many turned upon him that they knocked his helmet off his head twice, but he always stood firmly like a good knight, together with some others. Thus did we fight for more than one hour, refusing to retire farther. An Indian hurled a bamboo spear into the captain's face, but the latter immediately killed him with his lance, which he left in the Indian's body. Then, trying to lay hand on sword, he could draw it out but halfway, because he had been wounded in the arm with a bamboo spear. When the natives saw that, they all hurled themselves upon him. One of them wounded him on the left leg with a large cutlass, which resembles a scimitar, only being larger. http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/images/magellan5.jpg That caused the captain to fall face downward, when immediately they rushed upon him with iron and bamboo spears and with their cutlasses, until they killed our mirror, our light, our comfort, and our true guide. When they wounded him, he turned back many times to see whether we were all in the boats. Thereupon, beholding him dead, we, wounded, retreated, as best we could, to the boats, which were already pulling off." <Jeeze! now I need a drink! Methinks I'll combine the best of both worlds: the Gimlet with 1/4 lime, 1oz. Rose's lime water and 3 oz. Lambanog in place of gin or vodka and see how it goes.:Kaleun_Cheers: One good thing leads to another apparently:The Manila galleons sailed the Pacific for 250 years, bringing in to Mexico their cargoes of luxury goods, economic benefits and cultural exchange. Filipino sailors aboard the Manila galleons, brought portable stills that were used to make coconut nectar-based lambanog. The stills were a huge hit in Mexico, but due to unfamiliarity and the risks involved in harvesting coconut nectar, the native population quickly turned to agave by applying the craft learned from the Filipino sailors. (hence Tequila):yeah: Well damn! I'll just have to have a Margarita chaser too! :D I'll B "weng-weng" after that! Filipino slang for someone who is completely intoxicated.

After a very hot stinking very humid day at work that is the last thing i want to hear thank you. :hulk:


That aside, enjoy it. :up:

[Sailor Steve]

At 0800 yesterday I walked back down to the local auto shop and explained what had happened. Then I walked back home and spent the morning trying to stay awake after more than twenty-four hours with no sleep. At 1415 they called and said it was done. I walked back down and they said the rim was fine, the alignment is fine, and all I had to pay for was the tire and the labor.

Brought the car back home and it seems fine. Tried to get some work done but fell apart about 1600. Went straight to bed, thinking I'd be up again around midnight, but instead slept twelve hours straight through. Now it's 0500 and I feel like I'm missing a whole day. That's okay, I'm ready for this one.

If you're like some, you'll soon be looking for work again because the boredom is killing you.

If you're like me you'll be whining because you still don't have enough time to do all the things you want to do, let alone relax.

Either way, best of luck.

[u crank]

Thanks guys. It was a tough decision because I enjoyed my job but physically and mentally I had had enough. The money was good also but money is not everything. I was more than ready.

If you're like some, you'll soon be looking for work again because the boredom is killing you.

:haha: In my second week of retirement I am going over to Halifax to build a 70 ft. fence in my sons back yard. Yea, I'll be busy.
I suspect You'll find retirement isn't! Someone else will see that fence and offer cash under the table(always a good thing) and a bottle of good vino! I 'retired' four years ago and am still quasi or semi employed; only now the boss (4 hundred miles away) is much nicer 'cause he knows I don't need the job. I rib him: thanking him for my social security stipend-now about to be diminished by part B medicare under Trump. The boss is paying in; I'm taking out!:D. The text message always starts with ''R U available....'' a much nicer tone than when I was simply 'rowing chained to the bench.' He knows 'sailing days' are inviolate! The big problem is: my wife is retiring in September too, after 30 years of being a DA.-totally fed-up and burned-out! Good lord! there goes my 'retirement': she'll B around all day assigning chores... alas nothing good lasts forever.:O: PS: I've seen the god-awful snow U shovel!:k_confused: that's not retirement! (why I moved to CA from the MN gulag-no snow!)

Spent most of the day doing what I like to do best on Sunday during the summer.

Watching all the motorsport I can find! :)

Unfortunately, today pissed me off. Raikkonen didn't get P1 at Monaco and Fernando Alonso had yet ANOTHER Honda engine problem.

Oh well. :doh:

[Catfish]

Came back from a short holiday with the wife's BMW, suddenly a rhythmic noise from behind, suppose middle bearing of the propshaft. Came home, closed the door, glass fell into same.
We took the BMW because my VW is in the garage for repairs.

Holiday was nice though :haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

Wondering still why I've been unable for so long now to update or add to my albums on my Profile Page... most importantly my paintings? I think I contributed a smaller sum than usual to the last Fundraiser because one of my payments didn't go through for some reason, so I ended up as an "Ace of The Deep" instead of an "Overlord". Would this be why?

[Jimbuna]

Highly unlikely but Neal would have to confirm.

[Eichhörnchen]

I no longer have an "add pictures to album" option... even when I delete some it doesn't free up any room, so it's not that I've exceeded my space allowance...

6 hours of sleep? It's not enough

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=8324685

almost everyone who says he needs only six hours' sleep is kidding himself. And the consequences of chronic sleep deprivation are serious, says Clete Kushida, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and director of Stanford University's Sleep Medicine Center. Sleep deprivation has been linked to an increase in motor vehicle accidents, deficiencies in short-term memory, focus and attention. It's also tied to depressed mood and a decrease in the ability to control appetite.

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/poor-sleep-linked-higher-death-risk-heart-issues/story?id=47620102

Poor sleep is linked to higher death risk in those with heart issues

Diseases of the blood vessels supplying the heart and brain tissues are leading causes of death among Americans.

And while researchers have known that things like metabolic syndrome -- high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and/or triglycerides, high body mass index and high blood sugar -- and poor sleep increase the risk of these diseases, the true impact of these other factors has remained poorly understood so far.

You too Steve ... get that sleep

Should that not be the case and presuming you have logged off then on again I'd suggest sending Neal a PM, your account may need resetting.

[Moonlight]

Oh my god Mr Squirrel you've got squirrel Rabies, there's a foolproof way to test for this disease old boy, keep a glass of water close to hand or paw in your case and look at it regularly, if you've got rabies it'll start to drive you nuts. The doctor should have told you that there and then the silly mare, she probably wanted rid of you asap so I can't really blame her, If the doctor was ugly though I'd report her to the RSPCA immediately. :up:

If the test is positive don't panic as it can only kill you once, it would be adviseable to get everyone you've been near vaccinated and get yourself locked in a darkened room at once and throw the key away. Its imperative that you keep out of sight or sound of water as that will increase the symptoms exponentially, oh one final thing Mr Squirrel, make sure that all the local squirrels are vaccinated as well, we can't have a major outbreak of rabies flooding the country when Wimbledon is just around the corner now can we. :down:

One last thing Mr Squirrel, its going to be a long and slow painful death so I'll say my good riddance byes now, silly me I nearly forgot, that'll be £50 for my medical services payable before you're locked up in that darkened room of course. :yep:

[Eichhörnchen]

You better round the others up and get ready to dial for an ambulance in case I start foaming at the mouth.

[Jimbuna]

A guy I know was looking for a static security guard to look after a new mobile home until Monday morning. The hours were 9pm tp 9am and he offered £10 an hour.

I told him I couldn't do it but knew someone else who was reliable and might be interested so I rang a friend.

About an hour later said friend rang me, thanked me and said he owed me a bottle.

I said fair enough but even at £120 a shift it wasn't all that big a deal.

My friend replied saying he had renegotiated the offer to £15 an hour and I said "You'd better make that a couple of bottles then" :o

Thanks, Fubes. She took our boy for a walk and picnic out to the river yesterday and found a great pile of books and DVDs some toerag had dumped in a field. So in the best old country tradition known as 'gleaning', she scooped up a really tidy copy (just a few snails stuck to it) of the 1950 movie "Gone To Earth" with Jennifer Jones... which she loves. She said when she got home that she didn't even realise it was out on DVD and here it was, just growing in a field. Spawney or what? :)

Trying to help a friend make a major decision ... Aktungbby is a friend, right? What's wrong with this country? Sure you can live cheaper down there, but is that on your Homeland Security retirement plan and SS for both you and your wife? Have you been watching the Travel Channel too much again?



The average wage laborer is about $10 per day, the highest in Central America. Costa Ricans refer to themsleves as “Ticos” (males) and “Ticas” (females). ... There are 801 miles of coastline in Costa Rica. Costa Rica is divided into seven provinces; San Jose, Alajuela, Heredia, Cartago, Guanacaste, Puntarenas, and Limon.


More than 25% of Costa Rican land is protected national parks


A Peaceful Country: In the Western Hemisphere, Costa Rica is the only country without an army or military of any kind.

Just north of Panama, with ports in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and 153 highway miles between them and 801 miles of coast line.

Complete with 12 miles of mountain curves, steep grades, and 'S' 180 turns-in both directions!!! Constant speed monitoring, use of gears downshift and absolute alertness on no-shoulder cliffside lanes for long control descent...everything! The poor lass complained to her pitiless mom (who's own daddy owned a truck company) and her driving school what 'daddy was doing' : the school responded: "GOOD!":O: After she reasonably completed the route in both directions (in my '86 Camry), I congratulated her on passing my driving course!:o A year later when up in Oregon at college, my daughter-just home for Christmas-confessed "dad you were right... all the roads are like that up here.

:) Perfect. I love twisty roads. I have been known to go out of my way just to find good ones throughout the Ozarks.

Caterham $even in the 30K-$70K range??!! :k_confused:

The Lotus Seven is going to be more expensive than the Caterham version most likely. One could probably source a roller kit much cheaper and then all it requires is some elbow grease and a spare engine/transmission. :03: Among other things of course.

A lot of fans build those themselves here, using whatever engine they can get their hands on.

That's precisely why I want one! I have a somewhat reliable source for BMW engines :haha:

It's like Lego but very, very, very expensive and dangerous.

I can't see her lasting to the end of the year if the support ratings drop as I suspect they will.

Who me no chance baby. :O:

I have suffered under the Tories and continual to do so and I am punching back, I will not let them laugh at me. I tore up a Tory leaflet in front of a Tory which upset them. On Friday evening on the gate I turned away a very sexy lady why you ask, she was campaigning for the Tories. Could have let he though but instead told her use a public car park.

[Mr Quatro]

What does triple lock mean?

[Moonlight]

what is the state pension 'triple lock' guarantee?

The triple lock was a guarantee to increase the state pension every year by the higher of inflation, average earnings or a minimum of 2.5%.
It was introduced to protect pensioners from meaningless increases in the state pension, such as the 75p a week rise in 2000, and to make sure their income was not eroded by the gradual increase in the cost of living. :up:

Moving on, doing as much as I can before the weekend as I hear we are in for a heatwave thanks to Spain and their hot air!

[Platapus]

Recovering from running a precinct in our primaries yesterday. Sore and stiff. 17 hour day, mostly on my feet.

But we had over 13% voter participation which is saying a lot for a state primary. I have had primaries with a 1% voter turnout.

We had almost 400 people show up. The fact that it was a dual primary probably helped.

Maybe, slowly, the voters are learning that primaries can be important.

[Jimbuna]

Out at the rear of the property and heard the door bell ring, took fifteen seconds at most to reach the front door and the postman had left a card to say my parcel (containing two choppers I had on pre-order) couldn't be delivered so I would need to travel into town tomorrow to pick it up from the central pst office.

Now unless he had rang the bell earlier and I hadn't heard it this postman must be one eager beaver on speed tablets or something of that nature.

[Aktungbby]

Nah your just getting old and deaf like me ; everyone knows: 'the postman always rings twice':haha: Heat wave expected today in the 90's ; so all necessary yard chores in the cool morning; garden sprinkler valves are leaking for some reason. they're fairly new with solid gaskets so a solution is not immediately forthcoming. Then off to the boat marina to repair the essential depth gauge for tomorrow's sail; it's been operating intermittently of late. Sunblock's a must; the captain just had a biopsy on his ear and minor skin cancer surgery is scheduled...and he's always the fussy one about applying it too!:k_confused:

Most post men/women around here are now on zero hours and have to get their rounds done fast. That bit of info came from a now retired postman who is glad to be out of it. Maybe you got the same in your neck of the woods jim.

Hot here but nice and cool walking home from work but I see another heatwave is on the way thanks to Spain and all their hot air coming our way.

Scorching day today, so after visiting my 'butterfly hot-spot' (see report elsewhere) I went into the nearby village church, where it's always nice and cool, to look at the annual "Art & Flowers" show. There I found my chum the ex-Mayor of Boston and we had a nice long chat. So that was nice...

^ The Boss lady appreciates all her :subsim: well-wishers; and has taken the day off: announcing we are driving to Sacramento to pick apricots for her to make jam with. I hope we beat the heat but I have my doubts about the interior part of the state. We already made raspberry jam from our own raspberry bushes-a big treat as the neighbors like her old style canning jars. My 60+ idea of lunch is still Skippy peanut butter and homemade raspberry jam!:yeah: The one neighbor's apricot tree is not producing fruit this year, so the trip to an orchard, 40 miles away, is apparently in order!:k_confused: Another neighbor's orange tree provides the fruit for her marmalade! I have 'gleaning privileges' in the 'hood otherwise it just gets wasted. Her Spaghetti sauce from our tomatoes, with meat, is also a big hit... alongside tomato paste, beans and sweet corn. Much of the garage shelving is for her finished canning products.

Beretta and Colt's Python oiled and primed; off to range for 4th bi-annual shoot to qualify for state's open carry card combine with my guard license; makes me good for two years more. Coming up on 44 years of this toil!:dead: The state has tightened down severely in 2017: No longer will I be permitted a 15 round mag which had been 'grandfathered in' to gun owners of such weapons-since '94 in my case. All magazines for non-peace officers must be ten rounds as of 7/1. I have one but getting ten rounds into it is a major pain. Additionally, background checks(not a real biggie for me actually as the CCW conceal permit paperwork is extensive) will also be now required to simply buy ammunition...so I'd better stock up on the staples...or go to Reno, Nevada gun shows to avoid the paperwork. My favorite two gunshops in town simply gave up after 25+ years as the rules are steadily getting prohibitive... THE STATE HAS NO PROBLEMS COLLECTING INCOME TAX FROM MY GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT: THEY JUST MAKE IT MORE PROBLEMATIC TO EARN IT!" Merica!:yeah: :wah:

I have often wondered about what is legal in purchase of a quality weapon in the State of Nevada. So you say you can drive to Reno and purchase a 9 shot Italian semi auto shot gun put it in the trunk and drive home to California or Utah or Arizona or even Oregon (but you may have to cross CA state line to get to Oregon.

What happens if you get stopped and all you have is a cash registrar receipt? Will they confiscate the car and or the weapon? Should you rent a car in case of the worst?

I don't think there is a universal size rating system jim, seems too me the makers make up their own size charts. Example I bought a shirt from one place fit well and loose then bought another brand shirt else where with the same size as the first and it was tight. :doh:

I now try to stick to one place for my shirts as I know the size I want fits and same with other cloths, bit of a pain when you see what you want cheaper else where but the big question will it fit.

[Sailor Steve]

...or Utah...
Not a problem here. Utah's gun laws are just as open as Nevada's.

As to transporting a gun in California, the law specifies that you may do so, but the firearm must be locked In a case in the trunk of the car and no ammunition available. The presumption seems to be that "transporting" means you are taking it out of the state, or just passing through. Long guns and shotguns do not have to be locked in a case, but still must be in the trunk with no ammunition available.

[Mr Quatro]

bad click

[Mr Quatro]

Thank you for that answer Steve ... Aktungbby decided to ignore the questions. :roll: When I purchased my hand gun a Tarsus 44special for $350 the gun shop said that I could carry it in the trunk and ammunition in a safe place in the car or truck as long as it was separate from the gun locked in the trunk. Like a ammo box perhaps. Like for for when you go to a target range for target practice.

On the wall behind it was a beautiful black short barrel Italian extra capacity semi-automatic shot gun for $750. I wanted it so bad, but no where to keep it, plus the money is needed for other things.

So that's why I asked about Reno, but how does a person keep his or her discipline and not try to win some money at the tables and wind up paying twice what they would've of for the gun and ammunition in the first place?

Oh by the way all of this comes under the title "What are you going to do in real life":yep:

Some officers simply correct your transportation error-they're usually gun-buffs too- and separate the ammo from the weapon; (that happened to me enroute to a target range once) others will arrest to show pro-active 'milling about smartly' on their log sheet to superiors. I personally keep stuff in locking briefcases in the trunk...and always keep my hands on the wheel when stopped on a routine traffic violation, even on the job, in full gear-armed with the permits, and have witnessed differences of procedural opinion between pairs of officers.

Could well be. What I don't understand is the fact that my denim jeans are a 34" waist yet a fitted suit is 38" :hmmm:

I think I may be able to answer that Jim as I'm the same waist size in jeans.

Jeans, peeps generally wear on their hips, whereas suit trousers are usually worn, as the size name implies, round the waist. Anyway that's my theory. Would you like to hear my theory about the Brontosaurus ? ;)

Relaxed fit can be 3 or more inches larger than you think you are in order to sell more pants, like women who try to make their shoes fit a size smaller than what they really are. Men also like to wear size 38" say when it's really 40".

Ok. My theory on the Brontosaurus and what it is, this is my theory. The Brontosaurus is very thin at one end, much, much thicker in the middle and very thin at the other end. That is my theory and what it is and it's all mine (that is mine and Ann Elks).

I thought he was going to use something like my alternative theory on the dinosaur extinction event, anyway I'll let you subsimmers in on it first before I publish it in a not so insignificant science journal that I avidly read.

I believe that the dinosaur extinction level event was not caused by a meteorite hitting the earth but was caused by a large group of brontosaurs having a competition to see who could break wind the loudest, I know it sounds a bit far out but no one has been able to prove the theory wrong as yet. :D
Just at that exact moment an earthquake and a volcano erupted at the same time and with all that gas released by the dinosaurs and the earthquake it was inevitable that it would be ignited by all that hot ash from the volcano blast, it would have exploded as though 1000s of nuclear missiles had gone off at the same time.

Me thinks it will be proven true when we eventually develop time travel, just think about it lads I'll be that famous some one will travel to our present age and whisk us, (I say us because you're going to witness it as well) to a few moments before the big event occurred, how's that for a theory then?.

The state has tightened down severely in 2017: No longer will I be permitted a 15 round mag which had been 'grandfathered in' to gun owners of such weapons-since '94 in my case. All magazines for non-peace officers must be ten rounds as of 7/1. I have one but getting ten rounds into it is a major pain. Additionally, background checks(not a real biggie for me actually as the CCW conceal permit paperwork is extensive) will also be now required to simply buy ammunition...so I'd better stock up on the staples...or go to Reno, Nevada gun shows to avoid the paperwork. My favorite two gunshops in town simply gave up after 25+ years as the rules are steadily getting prohibitive... THE STATE HAS NO PROBLEMS COLLECTING INCOME TAX FROM MY GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT: THEY JUST MAKE IT MORE PROBLEMATIC TO EARN IT! 'Merica!:yeah: :wah: Well I'm not a crook this morning!!! It seems a San Diego federal judge, Roger Benitez, has blocked the law set to take effect today with a Thursday preliminary injunction:...ruling the new law on 15 round mags takes away gun owners Second Amendment rights and amounts to seizing private property without compensation. "Allowing the law to take effect would have given thousands of law-abiding citizens an untenable choice: become an outlaw or disposses one's self of lawfully acquired property." Attorney General, Xavier Becerra's office is now developing new legislation to allow registration starting in 2018....I'd settle for that reasonable solution. Had the ban taken effect I'd have had to turn the ( three)items into law enforcement agencies or destroy them. The process of California gun lawmaking is despicable imho; the Office of Administrative Law has said Becerra has "gone too far trying to impose the new regulations without allowing for public comment" (which I'm currently doing...here 'Merica!):D :subsim:

Got back from a hot walk around Lincoln City. We almost didn't get there: I came round a bend near Wrangle and there was a car right in front... coming our way! I hit the brakes and got the nose onto the hard-shoulder just as this bastard managed to pull in front of the van he was overtaking.

Anyway later, walking up towards the bottom of Steep Hill in the City, I started instinctively to clench my fists ready for a punch-up as I felt someone barge into the back of me then start clawing at my shirt and pants. I spun round and there was Moira, face down on the pavement. I even thought for a moment "Who is this strange woman, I better help her up" as lots of other nice folk closed in from all around, offering to get her a drink and a chair and stuff. She's fine, though... said she didn't hit her head, just lost bits from her bracelet (lucky it wasn't some teeth).

[Catfish]

@ Aktung: Basil leaves :o:
Well, maybe, just maybe i will try this out :03:

My receipt, ymmv:

1 lime fruit, cut in 8 parts
8-10 orange mint leaves (also from the garden here)
(never use peppermint, you'll find out why lol, some use spearmint but not me - don't like it)
1 barspoon of brown cane sugar
2 cl cane sugar 'bar syrup'
1,5 cl lime juice
4 cl rum Havana club white (or s.t. similar)
2 cl rum Barceló or (or ron Amazonas dolce, for colour and taste)
fill up with soda, but let room for
crushed ice

And this is why i do not only take powderered sugar:
Put the mint leaves in a glass, add the brown sugar, add lime juice and the syrup, add rum.
Then take a spoon or a muddler and gently press the leaves against the corny sugar, so the aromes will get into the fluid, but not the bitter leave substance. Do not "shred" the leaves for same reason.

I like the crusta rim, never tried that on a mojito because i use a straw, but will try this :up:

Back in the old days of trains gone by ... the train use to pick up a bag of mail at a train station without even slowing down.

So I got to wondering if the train ever missed a mail bag ... here's the answer: https://postalmuseum.si.edu/rms/life/mail.html

“The night was coal black, and it was awkward holding onto the mail sack with one hand, the other on the crossbar . . . watching for the faint glow of the light on the crane. . . . The wind tried to steal your breath away. . . . There was both relief and satisfaction when I heard the 'whing' of the pouch as it was snatched.” —L. E. Davis, RPO Clerk

As early as 1865, before the arrival of mail cranes, mail was exchanged on nonstop trains, but to do so, engineers had to slow trains down to a crawl so clerks could exchange the mail by hand. This system, both inefficient and dangerous, was soon scrapped. The first track side Railway Mail Service cranes were wooden, F-shaped, mechanisms. They were soon replaced by a simple steel hook and crane.

As tremendously successful as it was, mail “on-the-fly" still had its share of glitches. Clerks had to pay special attention to raising the train's catcher arm. If they hoisted it too soon, they risked hitting switch targets, telegraph poles or semaphores which would rip the catcher arm right off the train. Too late, and they would miss an exchange. Each missed exchange would net a clerk five demerits.

Missed exchanges were a special threat on a handful of eastern runs that had less than a minute between some exchanges. On single line tracks, mail cranes could appear on either side, and woe be the new clerk who, alertly looking out the right-hand side of the train, missed a series of mail cranes on the left-hand side. Experienced clerks on board night mail trains relied on the sound or "feel" of the tracks, knowing by the train's speed or the curves of the track how far away they were from a mail crane.

Exchanging the mail was a two-part process, after the clerk snagged the mail bag with the catcher arm, he had to toss out that station’s mailbag. If a clerk did not kick the mailbag out far enough, it could get trapped beneath the wheels of the train, bursting open and sending letters flying everywhere. The clerks called such small disasters "snowstorms." On the other hand, too much "oomph" could also be a problem. One poor clerk tossed the mailbag out with such force that it sailed through the bay window of the station house. Another kicked off his shoe along with the bag.

[Sailor Steve]

Just got home from an amazing night out. Our drummer has been telling us for several weeks that the band he played with for years was going to be in town for one night. He insisted that we all come, and that we bring our guitars.

We showed up. The house band played a set, then announced the travelling show. They played for awhile. Then they had us come up and do three songs. The rest of the night involved the house band backing up several players and singers. Everybody had a great time, and it was quite an experience.

Afterward the members of the house band, who were quite good by the way, all said they were coming to hear us next Friday night when we play our own show. The leader of the travelling band, who our drummer used to play for, came to us afterwards and asked if we had a business card. We did, and he took several. He then asked for a copy of our CD. It seems he hosts a late-night radio show three times a week, and wants to play some of our stuff. He also is closely associated with a booking agency, and wants them to come hear us as well.

Something good might actually come from this.

Oh, and afterwards I also got to talk to several top-notch musicians, who also thought our band was great.

Now it's approaching 0400 hours and I can't sleep.
