Or less complimentary things Bill....LOL

The last time I saw Jim was at Overland Park when they had us down there for 
our first Re-cert.

Jim was our ATM when the rear truck on my lead motor split the #1 track switch 
at the West end of the Edgemont yard.  Mr. Reilly wanted my head, account 300 
feet of the splendid, Bentonite ballasted, #1 track got tore up.  TM Turner 
pointed out to him that I'd stopped as soon as I went on the ground....the 
damage was done by the First Trick switch crew, supervised by the Roundhouse 
Foreman and ATM Hill, as they were trying to re-rail it and their blocks kept 
shoving the ties down into the ground :>)

You probably signed my card once, but I told Dusty Bellew at last year's Rules 
Test that they don't need to send me the re-cert package this year, account my 
License expires on Nov. 30....and my last Vacation starts on Dec. 2 :>)  I'm 
not going through re-cert again, Like Karl's said.....the job ain't fun 
anymore.  Though....I do intend to have fun in November, when it'll be too late 
to fire me LOL
