What's this all about??? If I'm looking at things right this is about 4 hours early. There could really be severe impacts from ending a thread prematurely ! Even Obama doesn't have the authority to shorten a day, much less a month !
Maybe this is an attempt at Censorship! We don't post often out here on the west coast, but WHEN we do, there is always significance in our message content. And to think an effort would be made to deny that, is just unbelievable.
I am thinking a revolt may be in order, if we allow 4 hours "slack" time this month, what will happen next month ? Shut it down at dusk? Or maybe in the afternoon because of a meeting? Limiting threads to a specific number of pages? Its obvious where this can lead. It will be no time and the entire pot would be closed after 1 or 2 posts. (And we know by whom)
Now as my father would say, "If the heat is too hot in the kitchen, get out of the kitchen",( or "close the oven door", something like that), lol. Seriously Now, this is a solemn responsibility, not to be sheirked off easily, as it even becomes more signifcant the further away from NC you get ! As earlier stated the intended cutoff time at 5:00, THAT IS 2:00 HERE ON THE LEFT COAST !!! How reasonable is that!
Finally, even the "overseers" are quite forgiving and gracious during the transition activity.
Just when I think I've identified most of the issues, more come to mind ......
- Our most celebrated and highest posted member (+10,000 plus), cutting posting opportunities of others.
- Premature curtailment, (hmmmm??)
Now what to do ??? That is a real quandry! Have to think on it!
However, it is important that I don't commit the same "lack of regard" and want to make sure that other will have an opportunity post on this thread, as it is now 23:05. Therefore I will sign off for now.

Closing it up. Go to the next one.
Evenin' FellasGot most of the insulation up in the sun room walls tonight. Need to stop at Home Depot tomorrow and pick up 3 more bags of R-13 for the walls (also getting extra for the one garage wall that isn't insulated. Since it is on sale may as well do it now. Got 3.5 of the 16 voids in the ceiling done as well. That stuff sucks! The ceiling voids are 14.5 feet long and are 2x10s so the insulation is R-30 unfaced. With a respirator I was still choking after doing the little I got done. Susan stopped into to check on me and said I was using the wrong respirator, something about this one being made for solvents and I needed one for particulates... She's the chemist, so I guess she would know. Then she says 'That is my respirator, it won't fit you.' So I put my hands over the intakes and breathed in... nothing... removed hands before I passed out 'Seems to work just fine.' I need to remove the ventilated soffit and replace it with solid soffit tomorrow when I get home, stopped tonight and picked up the non-ventilated soffit but it was getting dark by the time I got home. Hope to get that done and the rest of the ceilings tomorrow night, and hopefully the finish the little bit on the walls. Friday I hope to get the OSB replaced on the screened porch that the electrician had to remove.Going to be going gang-busters on it through next Thursday as the following Monday the electrician is to return to do the finish work... not sure I'll make that target as we're heading to the finger lakes next weekend for a short respite.
Howdy guys - cold and foggy this morning, took forever to get to work. Hamburger helper for dinner - not too bad! Made it through a another fiscal year - yay!
Tardis is ready, so let's hit the road
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good Evening
We got some sun around 1 PM today but the temp never reached 60.
I am going to make this short. Everyone is invited for banilla and root beer.
Beacon is lit for the thingy....S.J.

RT, You will get used to it, I've been using one for about 10 years. Still don't like it but it beats the alternative.
Evening all. What a day. Worked out at the gym. Came home and serviced the 4Runner [no problems there]. Went for a hair cut. Off to Raleigh to Sears for a tire rotation [$15]. Guy cross threaded and messed up a lug nit and lug bolt. Had to wait for Toyota dealer to deliver replacement. What you get for trying to start chrome lug nuts with an inpack wrench. DUMB "NUT". Took over an hour. They should have made it free.
On the Pot, may start it early tonight as got early to rise [5 AM] and rush to a breakfast meeting in Raleigh. One guy in CA can never get it right anyway.
Get ready for Criminal Minds later tonight. May go to the lake tomorrow evening. If not, Friday.
Later.
Good afternoon all, this has been one frustrating day for me. Drove 70 miles round trip this morning to pick up an engine from shop where it had been for about 6 weeks more or less for repair. Got home, put it on track, and all kinds of problems. Not blaming anybody but I'm ready to throw these trains in the trash. Now have to go back tomorrow and start all over again. I've had it. Sorry for the rant.

Chief don't forget you need to start new pot late tonight/tomorrow morning

jonadelDon't ever think about running from a police dog, Holy Cow!!!!!!! I just watched about 4 hours of USPCA National PDI Trials in West Des Moines, there are about 90 dogs here from all over the USA and it was amazing. Today's exercise was the criminal apprehension and it was very cool, in a nutshell---the dog and handler were on the goal line (footbal stadium) and the bad guy was on the 30--they both took off at the same time and in most cases the bad guy was caught at about the next 30 to 20 with the dog hanging on to the arm (HUGE cuff), the handler had to catch up and give the verbal command to release (some in German). A few of the bad guys (other handlers) were taken to the ground but most stayed on their feet. There were other exercises that they had to do but that one was the best :) I repeat, never run if there's a police dog bearing down on you, he or she is MUCH faster.

Jon, great advice for us on the forum. But I do hope the true bad guys run!

So many roads, so little time.
Good Afternoon Y'all!
Has been a relatively good day. I am on call, and since only a couple of small cases, I came in late. After dropping the kids off at school, wife and I watched "No Country for Old Men". Rather odd, but good. We also have "City of Ember" to watch with the kids one night, maybe on the weekend. Wife will be taking the kids to violin lessons tonight, while I watch the fort and get some paperwork done.
Ran into my fitness trainer from the gym today.....needless to say, I have been away and it shows! Will have to get back there and get in shape. All this tires me out and I know once I get back in shape, I will have more energy. WIfe is on my case also, so its a good thing.
Take care,Dennis

Morning All !
Just to "pop in", and let you all know I'm still around. Working every day is for the birds! But, keeping the bills paid, so that is good!
Haven't spent 2 hours in the train room since I can't remeber when. I do have Kurt's car here, so want to get the pictures done and sent on its way. Quite an impressive car, sure is a hot one !
Really sorry to hear about the friend/neighbor of Jon's, that is really bad. How some idiot can cause so much pain!!
As most of you know Calif is crazy, "full of fruits and nuts"....... New bank in town...>
Would you take a check drawn on Tomato Bank??
Need to get going, want to take the El Camino in for a tune-up, then more website work.
Hope everyone has a great day!
Hey Everybody!!!!
Haven't been on in quite a while.....been crazy busy!!!
Then I forgot what email was for my login here, took
some time to sort that one out.
Been getting a lot more photo and video work. Right
now I'm on tour with a band called Sleeper Cell.
Doing work for them for an upcoming MTV Reality
Show called The Making of a Metal Band. Their new
single comes out in October and we will be headlining
Biketoberfest on Thursday Night 15 October!!!

Good Morning
Still overcast and cool. They say tomorrow morning could be 38. I am glad I was able to enjoy the summer weather. Off to the credit union, another CD expired and I know I am going to get reamed on a renewal. Enjoy your day...S.J.
Fair and chilly this AM. Off to the gym and then service 4Runner. Need to find a haircut in there somewhere. Have a good one.
Mornin' FellasFife - absolutely NOT! Sturg - Thanks for the tip! I have 8 sheets to hang on the ceiling and the top is about 12ft off the ground. Since I only have myself, and maybe my FiL I reserved a lift for Saturday (I am getting it in the afternoon just before they close so we can hang a few sheets Saturday night and finish up Sunday morning). I am helping a friend, who has helped me extensively on the sunroom and screened porch, rip up a floor in his spare bathroom and possibly install a new sub floor. I have found the 'trick' about the mud! I have found that the more patient I am with applying it the smoother it is and the less sanding I have to do... that will help on the ceiling as it will be 100% above the head work.Got about 90% of the insulation installed in the sunroom walls last night. I have to install a nailer in one corner so I have something to nail the drywall to, then I can finish the walls and start the ceiling tonight. Also need to get 2 sections of non-vented soffit so I can replace the soffits I hung a couple weeks ago. Rethought that too and decided to get some more F-channel for the outside edge, I think it will look better when it is finished. Should also help to seal the edges as well until I get the aluminum facia installed.Not sure why but I'm really excited to see this project when it is finished....
Good morning all,
It is supposed to be another IIABSDISEI, but it was cloudy this morning. Not as cloudy as referee's judgment during last night's game. He was absolutely horrible! I talked to our local athletic director last night after the game and asked him to never have this clown back. Totally inconsistent, no warnings before carding people, two red cards with 40 seconds to go in the game. The only positive aspect is that he was bad toward both sides, and he did not cost our team the game (we did that on our own as we ended in a 1-1 tie). We should have won by five, but we never took any shots. There is more to this fiasco, but space, time, and profanity constraints limit me.
Work was extremely busy yesterday. I had three tasks to get done, and I did, but it was a struggle. At least the time went quickly. I had a good time on the Tardis last night. I needed it after the game. Don's neighbor did not know much about soccer, but I am sure she could "bust" a game wide open if she ever showed up :-) I had the regular fare on the dining car for breakfast before sending it to "Points East". TBIL, and I can drive after going to the YMCA tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

HI GYZ,
58 and cloudy, to get to 61. Gotta pay bills tonite, did grass last nite.
Stay frosty,
laz57
Brutus,
Thanks.
I got the MTH elevated piers that I needed, so I got a bit more work done on the layout after I finished my online class work tonight. I am getting very impatient at this point, and I just want to run trains again. "Upper Management" continues to be on me about getting the trains off of the pool table so that the light can be put back in place. I removed it before I put the trains on the pool table in March so that it wouldn't fall when the floor was being torn up on the other side of the basement. A week off would be be good right about now.
Green97Probe - you are in!
Cold this morning, have to turn on the furnace if this keeps up! Work is crazy this week - need a vacation! Oh well, it will get back to normal shortly - new fiscal year about to roll over.
Tardis is ready to fly - Mike, you can take a turn in the dancehall, lol! Kurt can drive tonight, I've got a game of checkers scheduled with Jim and Patrick can umpire (make sure he doesn't cheat again)!
Hey All !
Workin' on the halloween cars and had to make a trip to Michael's for some stuff. I know it is only the end of Sept but it sure seemed like they still have a lot of stuff on the shelf, especially with everything at 30% off. I just don't have any room left for anymore stuff. Really thought about picking up a halloween docksider but decided to just use the HEX engine and the halloween 4-4-0
Wow, was it ever nice today. Partly cloudy and only in the low 80's.
Later all.

What a gloomy day, no rain but yuck. didn't reach 60.
I will wait inside tonite for the thingy. Still have banilla though, and root beer.

Good Evening from cool wet Southern Ohio
Dennis – Thanks for the tips. Two of the kids are celebrating their birthday while we are there and my bride got some sort of special birthday thing. Good tip on the extra batteries.
Buckeye – Got the car in the mail today. Looks great!
Brent – I always did the ceiling then the walls. A Tee bar to hold it helps a lot. A drywall hoist is great if you have a lot to hang. I would butt the long edge of the horizontal wall sheet against the ceiling holding it with my nail apron and leg, go around the room then come back and put up the lower horizontal sheet. Stagger the butt joints. Made the taping a lot simpler. Several thin coats of mud will minimize the sanding
May God bless
