Hi Toad,

 How you doing?

Funnily enough I posted the same link on the UK Forum for a guy who wanted to paint a ROW car.

I hope, soon, to be getting some Milwukee orange from them as I intend to put my Santa Fe (sorry SF fans) Aristo-Craft center cab in to MILW colors.

I also have second hand Aristo steel SF caboose coming shortly - that will be re-painted as well.Wink [;)]

Thank you for asking.

My fingers are still abit sore but no shooting pains in them. Still have problems opening jar lids.

Now I am looking that I might have to put my 18 yr old cat down because of jaw problems. 2008 has not been a good year, father passing and now maybe my oldest cat, me in a wreck, but like normal crap still messing with my ticket from trooper.

Hi Toad.

yep some years are bad ones - Her Majesty The Queen called it "annus horribilus" the year Windsor Castle caught fire.  I lost my Pop around 10 years ago but he was 88 and had a good life.

I also know about animals.  In my back yard - we have lived here since 1965 - there are nine dogs, 5 or 6 cats, hamsters, cage birds and a rabbit.  And they were all loved and badly missed.

I had to smile about your mentioning you not being able to open lids.  I have that problem as well and I wasn't in a wreck!  Laugh [(-D]

Have you still any buddies in "high places" downtown that can rip up the citation?  Anyway I hope you get that sorted.

As this is a railroad Forum I guess I should mention trains.  Thumbs Up [tup]

I got everything out this afternoon - seven boxcars, three gons and a caboose plus my lovely new MILW RS3.  Then the heavens opened  Sigh [sigh] - managed to get the loco indoors smartish and the wife got the boxes into the garage.  I dried the cars off later.   So that was the end of railroading today, maybe tomorrow will be better.

As for any one in High Places....they tried to speak to the trooper but no way he was going to let it slide. State Troopers around here are total anal style people.

If I was still a Peace Officer it would have caused a what we call a ticket war between City and the Troopers.

Here is how it works, copy the ticket off on copy paper and give handful to other officers - when we stop a off duty State Trooper we give him/her the copy and that copy explains to them why there gettn a ticket and not professional curticy (sp) of a warning ticket.

As for trains I am taking my stuff off moms table for now.
