Good afternoon all,
I have to go in to work 2nd shift Sunday 4:00pm - 11:30pm home by midnight and then back to work 7:45am - 3:30pm Monday
2nd is a 7 hour shift and 1st is 7.25 hour shift, glad just to have a job at this point. Took my dad to the retire's picnic for his union(BCTGM) Baker's Confectionary Tobaccow workers and Grain Millers. There were other unions there as well mostly Teamsters. Free food and drinks(pop and Beer). I ate way too much at the picnic today 3 burgers and 3 hotdogs some beans and a hand full of cookies from the Kroger bakery(big one not the instore one). Kroger I think is the lone surving big union bakery in town. There used to be Omar, Wonder, Big Bear, Kroger and Blue Bird(non union but was a big bakery) they were all pretty much in the same area just north of downtown and it always smelled like fresh baked bread.
No real big train news other than I seen 2 Union Pacific locos at the parsons yard kinda unuseal but I have seen UP in Ohio a few times before mostly new shiney locos headed west, but this were road weathered and sitting in the yard close to the building.
