Rigid Pipe Install Photos-Metro North Railroad

Hello everyone! 

I wanted to share some photos I found from around 2003. I worked on the railroad for Metro North. We were involved in replacing the electrical equipment for platforms at many train stations that took commuters into New York City for work and pleasure. 

I will write about those experiences in my next book. I worked on the railroad pregnant too...interesting stories. I will talk to you all later! 

Cheers!

I spent part of the weekend up in Syracuse to watch my son and his team WIN the New York state football championship for their division!! There was some snow but not a tremendous amount. We can't leave Syracuse without stopping to get some Syracuse University team gear. It was exciting to watch the game in the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University. The road trip was a 4-hour ride from New York City. I rode up and grabbed my eldest son Tom after work. He is an alumni Carmel Ram so watching his brother be on the field was rewarding. I was happy to see my son come running to look for his brother and I as soon as he could at the end of the game. I will share the pictures and video when I get a chance in another blog post. I'm proud of my son for putting in the work to join the team and be a part of a winning varsity football team. In other great news, I recently got my

WORKING WITH A CHAUVENIST PIG (Chapter Clip)

Originally Posted: Sunday, January 6, 2013 WORKING WITH A CHAUVENIST PIG (Chapter Clip) I will never forget my first day meeting Chester on a job in White Plains.  He shook my hand and commented on my ‘manly’ handshake.  Chester then explained, in a long, dragged out theatrical manner, to me that there were two things that just don’t happen.  There is no crying in baseball and there are no women in construction.  As soon as I heard this come out of his mouth, I thought to myself that this is going to be a very tough job to work on.  Imagine a guy who is very tall with a big basketball for a belly that he rubs often.  Chester has a giant head of curly salt and pepper hair with an overgrown mustache and a five o’clock shadow.  Chester usually wore a cheap netted baseball hat, worn out solid color t-shirts, ragged Dockers pleated knit pants, and moccasins.   He does look like an odd character when you first see him and definitely when he opens his mouth and talks to people.
