    Made it back to the ranch last night for a little 4th of July vacation and just checking the web. Spin your explanation made more sense than what the electricians told me. When they were talking it sounded like a foreign language.



    Okay no excuses Sir. Hope to have some nice pictures in the near future. But I will provide a couple of pictures of a project I was asked to look at. It is a swing railroad bridge across the Missouri River. Lot's of possibilities for it's future. I was asked how it could be scrapped and responded with an idea of using heavy equipment (excavators and cranes) on a barge and using a barge to ferry the metal to shore or down the river. It is hoped it is not scrapped and several other ideas are being discussed to preserve it. Keep you posted. If it is scrapped, it might be the next adventure.

    Who knows, might have to take a barge all the way down the Missouri River and get a tug boat to haul me up the east coast to have a beverage from the hurricane cooler. Only time will tell. Now that would be a big adventure. Doubt if the wife will allow me to pull that one off, at least during hurricane season.
