I retired four years ago from a major railroad after working in various clerical positions for more than 36 years. I was a pretty fair clerk I reckon, but I admired all the talent in the shops and miss my friends. All shop crafts were present and ranged from the hardly able to the most able. Some claim they could weld up a broken heart or the crack of dawn, and one guy swore he could make chicken salad out of chicken ... well you know. I am a former pilot having passed my check ride on my 33rd birthday on August 12, 1977. I haven't flown in twenty years. I like all things with two wheels, or wings, or strings, or that shoots. I have a 1969 Yamaha YDS and a 1972 Honda CB750 that have sat for years. I sure would like to get them running for find them a good home. I enjoy the forum.
