You never realize how well liked you are until someting happens to you. Last sunday I fell and tore the tendons in my right knee and except for surgery on tuesday i've been bedridden. The guys at the shop took up a collection and the guys not only sent me a couple of hundred bucks they also put a new water pump in my car, which had lost a seal while it was parked. I'm gonna have to do something nice for the guys when I get back. Maybe I'll smoke up some good barbeque for them once I can get around again. If there's one thing railroaders like it's eating.

So they took up a collection... that's very nice of them, but I figured you had pretty good insurance and all that, seeing as how you fix trains for a living. You know... union work, good pay & benefits, yadda yadda...
Anyhoohaw, man, this downtime might be a good opportunity to get one of those motorcycles running! Maybe you can't ride it for a while, but you could work on it...
