I decided I had said too much and retracted alot of that statement. I know you have a very special bond with your daughter and I think that is great. Even though I don't aways see eye to eye with my X I do hope he and she can remain close.
Amazing how having a child literally changes everything about who you are! It's like being born to another life yourself!

Ah, you have a few interesting years ahead of you. I always thought having a girl would be difficult, and I s'pose it is if you're a Dad; some of the things my son has experienced though (won't mention 'em as he's here), I'm thinkin' at this age it's difficult to parent either!!! LOL

She's such a good natured girl, I really don't see it being a problem though!
Bev, I agree, we are very fortunate to count Faithful Defenders amongst our family! I've see a thousand cover bands over the years but non to match the dedication this Band had!

Ah, you have a few interesting years ahead of you. I always thought having a girl would be difficult, and I s'pose it is if you're a Dad; some of the things my son has experienced though (won't mention 'em as he's here), I'm thinkin' at this age it's difficult to parent either!!! LOL

| Thanks, you guys. Seriously. It's funny but I am finding that I am able to go higher with my voice these days. I guess it is because I am singing almost everyday now and I am getting some strength back. I have done a couple songs now where I have really surprised myself. I thought those days were LONG gone but they seem to be coming back..well, at least PARTIALLY.... HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

That's cool! I knew all my Great grands except one, he was much older than his wife and passed away shortly after my sister was born. I have very vivid memories of all my greats, especially greatgrandma McCoy. She lived in a house all by herself after greatgranpa McCoy died for many years. She never had a indoor toilet a bath yes but no toilet and wouldn't let anyone build one for her! She was Cherokee and had the most beautiful long braided hair. I'll never forget her smile! Her birthday was, essentially, a family reunion each summer. I would do anything short of wet myself to keep from having to go to the outhouse in the corner of the yard! LOL I often begged my uncle Everette to take me down to his house down the road so I could use the bathroom! He had the fancy bathroom, it wasn't attached to the house mind you but it did have all working plumbing! Yes folks, places like that still existed in the 70's!

Hey spapad!! Haven't been home all day but also to Head Banger,Guido and Hellrider....this is a "Wheelabrator" or a "Shot Peen machine"....this is a random
picture I got off google but this is what the machine looks like except the one I work on is almost about "three times the size" of that one in this picture!
The one in this pic look tiny compared to the Wheelabrator I work on. But the wheels are in place and ect.....its a cool job and I actually "enjoy" working
on it and have for about 15 years now....I find jobs(parts) to load onto the table with certain racks to place them and make sure these jobs have same
intensitiy call outs so they get hit at the same RPMs...ect...each cycle when the parts are being peened lasts 4 minutes and we rotate the parts 180 turn
then after the nest cycle we flip them over....then after the next cycle rotate 180 turn again...this asures the parts are being saturated by spec.
I stand at a desk with a computer to log the information in and there is a control panel to operate the RPMs as to how hard we peen the parts....
when the machine is peening for the 4 minute cycles....if I've already got my paperwork filled out...I can go bullshit with one of my friends!!! lol!!
But make no mistake about it...I do not "slack off"... I've peened more parts than anyone at that shop ever has....and my production skills are top notch.
There is also a manual shot peen machine like a small sand blast machine that we have to peen some parts that have clevis' that can not be reached in the
wheelabrator,so we shoot them manually then put them in the wheelabrator machine. We have to take a written test,a practical test once a year per
Boeing BAC 5730 spec.....the tests are usually easy because I've been doing it for so long but they always throw trick questions in there to try and
confuse you....why,I do not know!! lol! A dude from Boeing in suit and tie comes in once a year and tests us shot peeners....there are tons of questions
and ect...and on our part there is alot of "foolery" lol!!! There are some things we hide but its not something that would jeapordize the integrity of an
airplane part or anything "serious".
....I still work in Shot Peen about once a week now...so slowly when the work comes in I'll be back! (Quoting Message by spapad from Sunday, August 02, 2009 12:08:41 AM)
