Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

At least the reference wasn't totally lost. ;D

So...the kid was out of school for a week because of weather. Yesterday afternoon, he decides to take a nap...this kid never naps. Running a fever now...home from school. [roll]

actually, a partial transit thru the canal on a container ship, small, in the bridge with a Canal Pilot . .  pretty sure 1.21GW will post pics, better than my "IZ pics" taken with my cellphone.

Why do they need a special pilot when they're dragging the damn thing through with cables?

Are they afraid the captain won't pay the toll? ;D

the Canal Pilot takes over the ship's helm, he gives all orders how to turn, accel/decel ship, the Canal has "proprietary" signaling and they need to be in constant comms with the control centers[main and at each set of locks]

I'm sicker today, but at least the kids have school.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

You probably don't want it for today or tomorrow... but you do want it for 20 years from now...

Coffee. Thinking about eating breakfast with Mary if she has time.

Tomorrow we are off to Reno.


For some reason I'm thinking of that boat just sort of marooned in my yard. Don't know why.

You should rename your thread in General to reflect the rest of your journey now that you got the snack out of the way. ;D
