Do you remember which engineer it was, Freak? One of the three Dons, or someone else? Carlos, the sullen guy? Yeah, I used to have problems with the sound system too on that train. It stopped working right, then at all the last year-year and a half I worked there. And I put in reports to fix it, and of course nobody cared. Typical.

In my younger, stupider days, while in the Navy, I snuck up on a ST(Sonar Tech) that had his head in an electrical cabinet. I yelled BOO! He jumped, then spun around and knocked me flat on my back, and gave me a mean lecture about sneaking up on people working around high voltage, while sitting on my chest.

I learned my lesson.


PS.
WOOHOO!!! CR-25!!! Look out Grumpy Pirate here I come!!

Electricity is a silent killer. It has no smell or feel to it until it's too late. If one doesn't know how to work on electrical problems one should leave it to a professional electrician. Handling bare live wires is a recipe for disaster.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED....

[spoiler] I am sick and F'ing tired of the media... esp. WFTV a f'ing ABC affiliate... keep bringing up the f'ing Monorail accident every f'ing time the someone f'ing sneezes near a damn train. It amazes me that the low lifes at that f'ing news room find it easy to cut the wound from last year open and not only dump a pound of salt on it. Can we not let the dead rest and the survivors get on with their life. I feel for Austins family when they turn the tv news on or open the paper and just have to see a reminder. I must give the Orlando Sentinal their props tho... It was not front page ews from the artical that was showed to me.. and also did not contain any hint of last years loss... [/spoiler]

Sorry to all of you that had to endure that... I am just fed up...
