I worked on that project in my second career, so it is time for me to get off of my ass and get out there to take a ride...

Assunming the San Diegans are running through to Oceanside by then... I just hate the drive these days on either the five or fifteen, and I might as well use the pass...

  Not their fault? Was crew distracted by hearing on radio of rocks thrown at a Philly train? Maybe didn't know their territory like the Dupont foamer engineer? Mostly peaceful foam running 11-02-2022 - 15:29
