Morning all,

Did my walk first thing this morning.  Then spent some time reading a book, "Code Talkers", my brother lent me.  Interesting book about the Navajo Code Talkers in the Pacific during WWII.  After lunch I think I'll hit the workbench for a spell.

Here's an old picture, most likely taken during my college days back in the late 70's, around the Enola Yard.



Have a great one!

I've started on the bents that will go under the railroad trestle bridge and the adjacent coaling dock.

First I drew the plans, then I cut the pieces to construct 1 bent.  I cut an extra of each piece and labeled it, to use as a 'reference piece' to reset my wood chopper/mitre.  I'll construct the bent tomorrow, check it out underneath the coaling trestle, and adjust as necessary.  Then I'll build a jig to hold the pieces for construction, and start the production cutting of pieces.
