Not surprising. I told my son, "Take 25 mg of Benadryl by mouth tonight." What he heard was rub Benadryl and Cortisone cream on the rash! He has a Ph.D., from Stanford no less.

I give up.

I was not making fun of you my dear - the medical field is definitely not my forte and I'm not afraid to admit it.
However should you like to overhaul an Alco V16 or 18 train engine, FT4A Gas turbine, EMD diesel (any), Caterpillar diesel (any) + pretty much any internal combustion engine (and ancillary machining & fab skills), I'm your guy.

I just didn't have to overhaul when they were running.

Nahh, I could go home and sleep well at night during a rebuild, unlike you.

Yeah we were there for the duration, luckily it was usually well under 20 hours! Can you rebuild one of those under that?

Not a chance.
No Top fuel team here.
Pistons alone on the Alco's were over 400 lbs each.

My brother in law owns a company that manufactures corrosion inhibitors for locomotive radiators.

My wife is the stupidest smart person I know at times. She was dux student, came first in school and all that, but she can be really daft when it comes to real life shit.

Yeah, Alco stands for American Locomotive Co. - the engines were in ships though. All the components are so big, when something broke it was easy to identify.
The Gas turbines were de-tuned to 25,000 h/p but two of them pushing a 378' ship would leave a gigantic roostertail.

11 year old Allie Sherlock is an amazing busker from Cork, Ireland. She asked her dad if she could busk and he said learn 20 songs and we'll go. Her voice is amazing, nice guitar picking skills too. Her Roland BA330 amp (runs all day on 8 AA batteries) sounds great, same one I use. Enjoy!
