You want to play with the christmas lights.
The only real problem with Mets is that you have to serve all the divisions. You might be in Stamford this month. Next month you will be stuck in Harmon. The good side of railroading. The pay and benifits are excellent.
Good luck.

not exactly my preference or top pick, but its a good paying job that i can fall back on if i dont find something better. i keep checking amtrak to see what they have to offer.

morning all, had to get up at the buttcrack of dawn for an 830 dentist appointment. I f**king hate getting teeth drilled. even with earphones on hooked up to a radio, and headphones (the kind used for mowing) I still hear that @#%#$^$# drill. but, its done, and if the weather holds out, were going to the farmington river for some tubing.
5 not so stable guys tubing...oh boy.
look what I caught this morning at about quarter of 1. I was radio chasing it for about a half hour. (radio chasing is a term I just made up for basically listening to it on the radio trying to find out where it was and cussing when I couldnt find it). this is as rare as finding a needle in a hay stack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wseRgg0z54I

I doubt you would want to move for the job, but you can ride the train to work for free and catch sleep on the train as you can.
I believe you have to change trains at New Haven.
The bigger problem will be getting from a station to a maintenance facility.
Google Maps Stamford and you'll find the maintenance facility close to the station.
The other maintenance yards are not necessarily in such close proximity.
Best wishes Aaron

I have my van back and therefore I have the Suzuki back too, as it stqays in the back of the van.
The dealership warrantied the tranny work and the power steering work, which then covered the rental car I had.
I had them only replace the busted tire, so the rear end right now thinks I'm in a constant turn.
So I'm ordering a set of sneakers and the mechanic said that between him and the dealership's body shop he'll get them to fit.
The Marshmallow needs tires and I can't find Rims to fit.

Tonight I rebuilt the motorcycle's fuel selector valve and put the bolt into the brake pedal split spline.
Tomorrow I'll see if the Suzuki holds gas and have my daughter give it a test ride.

Evening, everybody. It's actually pretty nice right now. I'm sitting here and all the windows are open. Quite comfortable.
I'm just waiting for the rain to get here. I'm hoping it somehow doesn't get here, but I doubt it.

Hi Pete, Dave & Sean 
Just getting back to wireless range.
I was up on an extension ladder in the dark aiming landscaping lighting.
Dave, Double posting is cheating on your post count....
Pete, how was your trip?
