would not be the 1st time!!! in the 24+ years I have been here no less than 10 Federal Judges have ruled a minor dispute and quashed our right to strike.

Funny how this whole thing is playing out.... The Class 1 Railroads want nothing to do with Government regulation or intrusion but when we have a legitimate strike on the way THEY RAN TO THE GOVERNMENT TO GET THEM BLOCK OUR STRIKE, Funny how that only works one way.

This will be a Nation Wide Stike!! Depending on who's numbers you go with 115,000-140,000 workers going on strike.

STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER BROTHER!

The only update that I can give everyone is if the president does not enact the Presidential Emergency Board. WE ARE 100% GOING ON STRIKE ON MONDAY.

Our vote numbers just came in 99.5% voted to strike, To the general public this might seem normal but in railroad terms... in almost 25 years as a railroader, We as railroaders have never been this committed and in solidarity to agree on one point ever!! Normal positive votes are usually in the 70's if that. This will send a clear message to the Class 1 railroads and the government .... We will not lay down or be pushed around this time. This is the beginning of a long bloody fight or We get a fair contract.

Everyday items that we purchase will be effected first from there it becomes a wave effect for everything else. this has not happened yet, but if we are not ordered/forced back it is going to happen. The class 1 railroads have eroded any good will completely away.... from just blatantly disregarding our contract to enacting unbearable attendance policies while reducing our workforce ..... while making record profits..... now they want just 1 man on the train no matter what.

So people will have a better understanding of what a national railroad strike will do ....so you guys get the point..... we have been put back to work forcibly on many occasions by federal judges, congress and sitting presidents with little to no recourse quite a few times!!! here is the last true strike I could find. EVER HEARD THE TERM GETTING RAILROADED? 1992 United States railroad strike - Wikipedia

I just had a conversation with my local chairman, we will be striking July 18 at 0001 if the president does not enact the PEB.

20+ years I have been with the railroad it has never gone this far, Morale has never been this low and with that in mind everyone I HAVE TALKED HAS VOTED TO STRIKE.

Well put, 1 train is equal to several hundred trucks.

Like I said most people don't have a clue about interstate commerce and railroads.... I am just trying to enlighten people to the extent of just a few days off will do.

BTW all class 1 railroads are hiring.... with a bonus.... come join the clusterf@#k at the railroads

Railroaders are a lot of things but we are not fools.

For the public that knows very little about Interstate Commerce, 12 Railroad unions are voting to strike!! This is a very big thing for us because of Federal laws and Railway Labor act. We have been denied the right to strike for almost 100 years but that might come to an end on Jul18th at 0001 if President Biden does not enact the PEB. ( presidential emernecy board ) If you think you have seen high prices and bare store shelves, let's just say you have not seen anything yet. So my suggestion is if you don't hear anything about the PEB... BUY WHAT YOU NEED TO LIVE ON. We transport EVERYTHING from your vehicles and fuel to all your household needs. The figure for most large cities, shelves will start going bare in about 3 days.

Costa's are my only glasses now and here is where I got them. Costa Del Mar Cat Cay Polarized Blue Mirror Glass 580G Rectangular Sunglasses AT 01 OBMGLP 097963492775 - Sunglasses - Jomashop

The problem with polarized glasses is most people by the cheap/poorly built glasses....spend the money on a good pair of GLASS not plastic!!! If the manufacturer tells you the distortion rate is the first clue. More distortion in plastic lens hands down.

Funny how short memories are when it comes to gas prices!!! that last time gas went over $4/gallon I sold my boat and truck...and people just quit driving around for just fun.... then the prices came right back down.

Smallies can be very specific to getting bit!!! angle, speed, depth, color, and time of day...along with exact cast and retrieve. I have noticed that fishing Smallies that a cast off by as little of a foot will not get bit. So dialing in the exacts are not easy by any means but when you figure it out will produce quality and numbers that you previously would not believe.

Remove the tail and swim it without, you should notice a lot more action, I believe the tail is killing the action.....My .02

Mandingo?

If your tail was movable, the tail section would have more movement.

type of bait and approximate size would help.... any new build I would not glue anything in until you figure out ballast and action... once you figure out everything I glue everything in.

I would move the lip forward, if you are going for a true wake and not a wake and crank.
