Still trying to fall asleep here. Neighbors are rocking out to the Bad Company discology and there was an opossum in my kitchen eating cat food.

They crunch dry food really loud.

Yesterday I went to our Union Local picnic. It is the first one I've been to in over 15 years because they have been holding it in Gaithersburg Md and I can't get to Gaithersburg from here. This year they moved it to Edgewater Md which is only 75 miles away so I went. Had a great time, unlimited food, beer, sodas, etc. A bunch of activities mostly for youngsters and young people, which is good. I finally picked up my 45 year pin and will get my 50 year pin in 2 years. It was nice seeing some of the other old timers and just reminiscing about times past. .

I'm not one for joining in. I never attended any of the work or union functions. And since I retired, I've really turned into a recluse.

Sounds like you had a pretty nice time. Wow. . . 50 years in the same union.

You see that grass Kevin? That tortoise is a lawn mower . I've never mowed his enclosure. Harry and Sally couldn't keep it cut that good . He does it all by himself .
