Swastikas weren’t associated with evil until Hitler came along. I’m guessing that bridge is pre 1935. Otherwise I’m with you, what’s the story...

Interesting story about Laguna (Indian) Dam and about the Swastikas and how that symbol was the symbol of the USRS (United States Reclamation Service) in the early 1900's.

First visit ever to Florida (St Pete/Tampa) . Weather like Hawaii, white sand beaches, offshore boats actually getting used in their element, easy to see why it is “closed “. Rented a boat and looped into the gulf and Tampa Bay through various inlets. Great food, great people . I may be back ...

So good, made at home by friends but we went to a couple great bars/ restaurants too. I want to go back and go to the keys
That area up there where you were is so clean, and nice and chill. It's a way different vibe than Miami and Lauderdale which is way more packed and more city / not as clean or quaint. Key west is a different world. If you like to drink and party and chill with cool people, it's hard to beat it.

You should've hit up AJ (LuckyStrike) while you were out there. He's right there.

I just passed my the tests and got my CDL a couple of weeks ago here in Missouri. I was super nervous
Congratulations, I have mine already but I have a promotion coming up at work and just needed to jump in and knock the rust off and get ready for the skills test. It's a 39' trailer so the timing of the trailer is different that anything I have driven. The plus side is this is the truck and trailer I will be taking my test in and it is in my reporting yard. I can jump in it after work or on Saturday since it's only a 10min drive from my house.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it sir. And that's nice that you get to use that same truck and trailer. That will make it alot easier.

Oh yeah... life is always an adventure. Sigh.....

Husb towing boat in for the annual service this morning. I get a call at the end of my workout that a brake has seized and he needs tools. Rust. Gah! Fun stuff. Poor guy dressed for work pulling apart a friggen brake. Don't worry, I made sure he didn't get grease in my new truck ;)

On my usual run on the Cardiac trail above the Elysian Park Academy I had some cool views , then came across a Mercedes that ran out of talent. Wife of driver came up while I called it in. Pretty sure her Hubby was drunk and took off. It got drug up the hill, and I finished my run after freezing waiting waiting on the traffic unit lol.
