I guess I'll play, as you can guess a plumber, I started off back in high school, was in the union and even owned our business with my father in law, after he passed I closed down and went simple and worked for Lowe's, in the plumbing dept never the less. But then my medical over took me, being epileptic since I was like 2yrs old, I had a seizure the day after a everything perfect thanksgiving, on the way to work and ended up in a car accident. You should know something's not right if everything goes right on any thanksgiving! So since then I've been medically disabled, loaded on Rx in which I still can't control my seizures, I have no clue as to when there coming nor if I'm having them and normally have 5-15 a day, so I have to be around someone 24/7, normally the wife, she's also disabled, but more in a physical way, so she says together we make one perfect person, I got the body(yeah baby) with wacky brain, and she's got the perfect brain(grad top 10 of the USA) yet not so perfect body. But I like it :D
I guess that's why we've been together for almost 18yrs but that's it in a nutshell..

Bumpy ride it seems...

Now I don't know who said this somewhere in human history, but:

"The measure of a man is not how often he get's knocked down, but how often they get up"
Yes a very bumpy ride, and every time things start to smooth out it gets worse,, that quote does sound familiar? Kinda makes you think the movie "Rocky" lol..
JR
Really??

Haven't even seen those movies... or it was over 10 years ago...


Copied from 'tinternet


The quote has been attributed to Col. George A. Custer. Vince Lombardi said something similar much later (and Dan Qualye even added something similar to one of his speeches), but the quote was originally Custer's.

That's a vital service in the fish and chip industry. Plenty of salt and vinegar then wrapped, makes them taste so much better when ya get them home. It sure beats those polystyrene or recycled cardboard containers some places use.

Vinegar with fish and chips? What the smurf are you foreign devils up to?!  :rofl:

After visit to wikipedia:
In chip shops in the United Kingdom and Ireland, salt and vinegar are traditionally sprinkled over fish and chips at the time it is served.[34] Suppliers use malt vinegar, onion vinegar (used for pickling onions), or the cheaper non-brewed condiment.

We sprinkle our fried stuff with lemon juice that's why the confusion.  :cheers:  :D

I'd put lemon on fried scampi but never on fish and chips. Fish and chips it's malt vinegar, salt and some proper heinz tomato ketchup  :drool:

Lemon all the way - Vinegar is good for covering the smell on bad quality fish, but it just overpowers all other flavours

But, we do have a lot more lemons here....

I work for one of the major railroads in the USA. I started out as an electrician troubleshooting and repairing locomotives. I've since moved into a desk job. Still troubleshooting but i get to stay a lot cleaner now days. Which is a plus. I also control the inbound and dispatch of locomotives from our shop facility, which supplies power to trains all over the system.
Formerly I was a John Deere master tech. Worked on commercial equipment. And eventually became the shop manager before leaving to go to the railroad.
I've also worked as a machinist and owned my own auto performance shop.
Most of my expertise is with mechanical and electrical diagnostics.

Major Railroads!

Vinegar ALWAYS on fish and chips - though if I'm cooking at home then there'll be lemon on the fish as well!

I have a friend who puts vinegar on everything - roast dinners, pizzas etc. I think his insides are pickled.

Yes we have 4.
Union Pacific
Burlington Northern Santa Fe
CSX
Norfolk Southern.

Lots of short lines but these are the main contenders for US rail transportation.
