This is a Picture when i was Promoted to General Roadmaster , Idaho Division .1 will share a little Story with You . After i was promted to General Roadmaster , I was told that i was to be the Key Note Speaker at the Rail Road Conference in Chicago,Illinoios. . They were only 2500
People attending the Convention , you can Image how a little boy from idaho felt . It was one of the few times in my life , that I was Scared ) and i mean Realy Scared . on a Quite day , if you Listen very careful you can hear the Echo of my knees Knocking , But when it was over i got a
standing ovation for my talk , and later my speech was published in the Railroad Magazine
my Speech was on Snow Fighting on the Idaho Division with the Wedge Plow and the Rotary
Snow Plow . Each night after Convention was over , our eqipment dealers would take us out the Dinner . On one night , A Equipment Dealer that i happened to know , took 8 of us out to Dinner ,
We had Lobster and Salmon that had been flown in from Alaska , and a lot of Wine , A group
of musians play violins while we are . They realy put a show on, Jokely the Equipment Dealer
gave me the Check which was only $3500.00 , i about fell off my Chair ,

Well this is a little bit about the Good Life of Working on the Railroad

getting even for you dads blog

Ever so often , i get a terrible urge to play pratical jokes on people , i just cant not help it , it just over welms me, so i will share a story that none of you grandkids know about , i was not going to mention it as i told ali about it, but since he (Jerry)put that remark about hanging obamma, this to get even . many of you dont know that in the coon family , we have a deep spilt in politics, i am a hard democrat , although i have voted repulican a couple of times , but the good repulicans just never seem to show up . in the coon family -jerry - sharla - andy much to my dismay are all repulicans, the only bright spot is david and i are very vocal democrates . any way this part was to fill each of you in on the back ground , one day a couple of weeks after the election , i got this terrible urge to play this joke on sharla & Jerry . i called each of them and started out like this.
(Jerry & Sharla ) well i said, i guess i better fill you in on what is happening , ( This was right after i had the Pace Maker put in ) I am Feeling real tired after each day . they both said dad you have got to take care of your self and both of them rambled on and on , until i started feeling a little sorry for them , so i broke in and said no let me explain , Its because ive be dancing the Jig for three hours each day . Sharla was a little Huffy because she feel for it line-hook and sinker , But Jerry was the one was i realy cracked up on. for when i feed him the punch line , all he could do was in a little mousey voice , reply He- He as he knew old dad had put a good one very him, he was not in a good mood , when i asked him when he came out of hidding from the alfull defeat the repulicans went through, and he was not in a good mood when i said that we all must unite behind
our fellow "Coon " but at least for now all is well as jerry & Sharla are at least Speaking to dear old Dad . Hope each of you gets a chuckle out of this Story .
