What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Lol. Since they were Italian, they'd probably enjoy the motorcycle stuff. This actually was regarding Hydraulics for a train that can do 300 kmph, or 186 mph. Where the first one is going is restricted by the existing infrastructure to only go 160 mph.

 

I'm off of work tomorrow, so today was my Friday.

I'm going up by my mom tomorrow morning, and then on the way home bringing my brother back down with me to the airport on Sunday so he can fly home. My wife's been cooking easy to reheat/ cook meals for Mom.

 

Drive safe in that weekend sledneck rush.....

 

Looks like they gave her an extra months pay as a retirement bonus!

 

I've got a couple of gigs down south this week. Saw some neat stuff with the kiddo the past few days.

I'm in Corpus Christi today, meeting at 10am and I can't sleep. We are staying at the Omni and it seems this side of the hotel transmits street noise into the room. I usually get a room with a view to the Bay, this trip a bunch of rooms are being renovated. Not enjoying this as much as normal.

Enough of me whining, are are a few pics.

 

Can't beat that for an unexpected surprise

 

Sounds like a "1st retirement vacation trip" might be in order............................

 

Friday finally got here....was starting to wonder if it would.

 

I was hoping that yesterday was Friday. Nope! Been a crazy busy week. I am looking forward to the weekend. Canadian women's curling championships start this weekend and go all next week. campinspecter will be able to watch some great curling next week while I am at work.

We didn't get snow last night and it looks dry out there for this morning's walk. Everyone have a great weekend.

 

37 deg f this morning. streets slick with stuff you can't see and slippery underfoot as well, welcome break from the single digits. Feb. around the corner always good for a bunch more of single digit temps.

 

X 2 here as well.....................

 

Congrats to 99.

 

Was able to time my day to be west of the city by 13:00 and home by 15:30.
Weather is perfect at a cloudless 30F or so. Said hello to the family unit, geared up and hiked back to the brook area, taking advantage of the longer day.
I'll get the boys down there tomorrow to toss these back across and help me load them out with the ATV.

 

Nice picture of the brook.

 

Thanks for saying so
During the summer it's nearly dry at that spot, which is about 3' deep down to glacial pavement. It's about 500 feet of mason quality canal in that area. It's unique to see it at that level and glad to capture it with the ice shelf bench mark

 

I'm whooped. About to take a shower, pour a bourbon, and sit down for the first time today.
