Creeker’s past week’s accomplishments

[Bruce Page]

Last week I posted a pic of my MM16 departing. Today, my engine lathe is patiently waiting for the evil forklift to arrive.

Bruce Page's posts are reminding me of the Stan Rogers song "Last Watch"



They dragged her down, dead, from Tobermory
Too cheap to spare her one last head of steam
Deep in diesel fumes embraced
Rust and soot upon the face of one who was so clean


They brought me here to watch her in the boneyard
Just two old wrecks to spend the night alone
It's the dark inside this evil place
Clouds on the moon hide her disgrace;
This whiskey hides my own


It's the last watch on the Midland
The last watch alone
One last night to love her
The last night she's whole


My guess is that we were young together
Like her's, my strength was young and hard as steel
And like her too, I knew my ground;
I scarcely felt the years go round
In answer to the wheel

That was beautiful Maurice, thank you.

Greetings,
I serviced my mower, cleaned up the yard a bit from taking down a very large Red Oak tree that was dying and leaning towards the house. Spent time reworking my old 12' utility trailer. All new wiring, new lights, and new trailer bed. Helped #3 son get his car fixed up from the damage caused from a truck losing a tire in front of him at night, destroying his front bumper, fog lights, grill and under-carriage. The day job has been SUPER busy and I am looking FORWARD to the day I can retire. I turn 65 in June of this year, so I'm hoping I can retire and do things I want to do without all the stress and pressure of computer systems engineering and I.T. Support.
That's it for me.

That was beautiful Maurice, thank you.

Cheers! The later days are not for wimps. Another song that resonates lately is from Richard Thompson;
