Ulrich! ..... I'm very pleased to see you have returned! ...... Sounds like you had a procedure to finally correct a problem. Hope you have a quick recovery, and you can lead a normal life after this event.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
Our granddaughters' week with us is over. We met their Mom and Dad (our son and DIL) in LaGrange KY for dinner.They live in Cincinnati, OH.
You railfans would like LaGrange KY. ..... We ate at a railroad-themed restaurant on Main Street.
The CSX track goes righ down the middle of Main Street. It is something to look out the window from a dinner table and see a huge CSX locomotive immediately outside.
Here is a video of a CSX train in LaGrange, KY. LaGrange is about 15 miles east of Louisville on the CSX line running between Louisville and Cincinnati.

Happy April 2nd Gang,
And a very special WELCOME BACK to our TALL GERMAN FRIEND.
Ulrich you have been giving us all the"" heebee jeebees"", we all have been very concerned over your instant disappearance. You have had Prayer Candles, special services in the Chapel Car and World Wide Prayers from all the Diner members pulling for you. We are all extremely glad that you have made it through and are on the mend. Your presence here has been greatly missed. CHLOE, double root beer floats for everyone, these are on me today. Hope Petra isn't too stressed out either................
Not much news MRR wise, I'm back at work for the last couple of days, but have the next three off then work the week-end again. Maybe in those three days I can really perform and get some more scenery moving along. IT TAKES ME SO LONG TO MAKE UP MY MIND , as to what I want it to look like that most of my time is spent pondering. Oh well, it will come to be.
Hope you all have a great day. By the way I took a look at MR video plus last evening, and I think it has possibilities. It will defiantly take up more modeling time from us, but we will all find something that we will learn.

Morning All,
And especially you Ulrich, glad to have you back.
Currently 47 with an expected high of 68 under mostly sunny skies.
Another closing shift and meeting after the store closes, so I won't get home till after 11:00 PM, which means no layout w**k today.
Prayers to all in need,

jeffrey-wimberlyFollowed your instructions and I now have God mode enabled. You're right, everything is there.
Glad to see you back with a brand new puter Jeffrey, even if it is running windows stupid. Now that you are "god" on it things should get easier.
The last puter I got had Windows 8 on it and I reformatted the drive and installed Linyx. Not that I wanted to learn a new Operating system but Windows Hate is such a mess that it would have taken just as much effort to learn it plus I now don't have to worry about all the windows hackers/bugs/trogans etc. , especially on a network server.
Anyway enjoy something new for a change Jeffrey along with your new phone.
Regards

How's the snow pile meltdown going over your way Johnboy? Sure is slow here in Alberty I'll tell ya.
In case you are interested, here is the view from our restaurant dinner table last evening. I know know Elliots Diner close to trains, and perhaps this is how it is like.
Well,
Went grocery shopping. Spent a fair amount. Went to a store that is new to us {have been supporting MOH's chain while MOh worked there}, and found GREAT meat sale items on BEEF. They apparently mark it down in the AM if date is before the use by date {expires tomorrow} Since I freeze all meat, it is no problem. saved beaucoup buck-a-rinos!
TOmorrow I go again to a different but new store to shop. and to the old store too.
Am BUSHED though!!! MY back is screaming and I can barely move!
Glad to know ULRICH is BACK! AND OK>
MOh went to do stupid test for Employment wont hear til next week...stooopid Qs like "do you take drugs?" Have you ever fought anyone? DOes anyone ever piss you off? Have you ever failed a drug urine test?
I told MOH I'd have said the HOSPITAL I VOLUNTEER for jsut did a COMPLETE BLOOD WORK to establish WHAT is NOT in my system!
Ugh!
WEll off to nappy with MOH is now home and will get to us soon.

Something I was looking for a little while ago was a calculator. XP and previous versions had a real good one. Couldn't find one in 8. So I dug up one online and created a shortcut on the desktop to link to it.

Zoe, Can i still get breakfast? OK, then I'll have the #2 special, over easy on the eggs, bacon, home fries, and a double order of sourdough taost with lotys and lots of dark roast coffee in my R&GV RR mug please.
Ulrich! So glad to see you back and that you are recovering well. Wow! I have a premonition that something was going to happen to you the very night you were in last. Sure glad they got you to the hospital in time and were able to help you. My prayers will continue for you.
Hmmmm, started this an hour ago, and got sidetracked by a couple phone calls.
Catch you all later!

Hi Dennis,
The melt is really slow so far, and thank goodness for that or we would be in deep trouble.
Temps for the next week are just a couple of degrees below to a couple above freezing, so it looks like it will remain slow for awhile. You can notice the snow compacting and there is some water on the streets but hasn't caused much of a problem as yet.
Take care of the Cat.

Hi Everyone!
Can I get the & special tonight Flo?
Ulrich! Glad to see you back! Hope the recovery goes well, you had us scared for a minute!

NCE über alles!
Phooey - two days of running around doing stuff and nothing done on Ye Olde RR. Oh well, the weather guessers are predicting rain, sn*w, sleet whatever for the next four or five days so maybe then
I did manage to pick up a few supplies today like a WS foam cutter, an assortment of styrene sheets, shapes and whatnot. Oh yes, some more paint for the air brush. Boy do I need to "Brush Up" on my rusty airbrush skills No, the airbrush isn't rusty, I am...
Glad to see you back ULRICH THAT was some scary time you had. Behave yourself and mend well my friend!
I've been watching a bunch of Youtubes videos trying to get up to date on the new ways of doing scenery/land form/mountains the last few days and at this point I'm more confused that before I started. I did like the one where they were using the 45 min. drywall mud rather than plaster of paris. I have always found that P of P sets way too fast even with a retarder for me. Have to rush rush and I end up with less than acceptable results. For rock castings etc. it's fine. Anyway I think I'll try that new stuff and see.
The cardboard weave thing is interesting as well and I've cut a bunch of strips on the table saw for those. I have to go get some hard board for the fascia and get it installed first before I get started on scenery. Oh right, I also have to put the switch controls into the fascia too. More twisted sore neck stuff.
That's about all for me this afternoon. Stay well all!
Evenin' folks!
Cloe, I'll have a cheeseburger with fries and one of those huge dill pickles to go along with it. A cup of decaf would be perfect, thanks.
I'm sitting here typing one handed as my other arm is cuddling my black and white kittie Blackie... He has been out and about several times today and is trying to do some things he hasn't been able to since he got sick. He came over and begged to be picked up and then went through all the snugly head butt things. Now he has settled in on my shoulder to be held for a while. Earlier, at lunch time he was trying to jump up onto the kitchen table via his usual route but after trying a couple of times decided not to get up. I picked him up and let him sit by me while I had my lunch. He was very excited and happy! He is moving much better and is getting around more now. Guess the therapy is working for him.
Karl, every time I read about the nonsense from some commercial banks, the more I like my Credit Union!
Other than driving over to the Pharmacy to get an Rx I needed, I have accomplished nothing today. I did take an hour nap on the rug next to the wood stove. Feel better. Guess I have been burning the candle at both ends too much.
Catch up with you all later!
Good evening.
Feet hurt some, but got some good progress made on the 109. Most of the fine detail is on, so a little more fine detail, then the first coat of paint is to go on.
Night everyone.

Janie, just a refill for the decaf please.
I actually spent some time in the train room this evening. Put in the rest of the tree trunks along the wall and finished one side of the wooden fence. Have a shorter side yet to go, and hope I can get that done tomorrow. Little by little I am making a bit of progress. Not nearly as much as I would like, but still, progress.
Checked out the meter for today while it was still calculating for the day. The panels kicked out 18 Kwh of power even though it was a mostly cloudy, snowy day here in the Finger Lakes. I also went outside and read the house meter to see what the total consumption figured out to be. In the last week (since the meter was read) I have used all of 11 Kwh more than the system has made. If this keeps improving, April may be the first month where I have made more power than I end up using. This should continue to improve until we hit the Summer Solstice and then it will gradually go back down.
Tomorrow morning I have a breakfast meeting with the District Executive for Boy Scouts. He wants to go over some items I need to know for the Handicapped troop I will be commissioner for, and discuss the closing of all the accounts for the Pack that has been dissolved. That should take care of most of the morning for me. I will be right next door to the LHS so I will most likely spend some $$$ while I am downtown.
Have a great night!
Evening Dinners
Flo, Beer please and Petra and Ulrich dinner is on my tap, how much do I owe anyway?
Ulrich my friend, first and am tickled that you are still with the living! I am sure the rest of the dinner's you agree with the favor I am asking! Would you please show Petra how to use the website to keep us posted! Even if she cannot speak or write English we will figure it out!
Work Front I was there, the Customer where there and the Auditor Was There! I just hope this Audit does not bring the Bad Manager in Tyler!

Good Morning!
It is a sunny day here in Germany, though the temperature still does not indicate that this is Spring. We are at 28F right now, the high expected to get up to 40F.
As I wrote yesterday, I am still shocked about what has happened to me. I have a hard time going to bed at night, fearing I might not wake up in the morning. This will eventually go away, as soon as I have regained some confidence in my life. There are quite a number of things I have to change and the list appears to be endless, but I tackle it step by step. At the moment, working down this list is all I can do - all other interests have fallen off the list. Which, in effect, will mean no MRRing other than armchairing and "spreading" my wisdom in this forum
Petra knows how to post to this forum and he English is sufficient to communicate, but I guess she was just too much worried about me to come here and inform you folks. She spent all the days I was "gone" at my side and needs to relax just as much as I have to.
It feels good to know that I am among my friends again.
Have a good one!

GOOD MORNING!!!
Today is Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013!!!
The prayer candles are lit for those in need...
MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!!!
ULRICH- tell Petra { and show her the last day's worth of postings since you got on} so she knows how MUCH support you have here and how worried we were so she will keep us posted!!! Yesterday I did not light the extra prayer candle for you, then today I thought, Since you are stilll healing, I'd better continue one in your honor!!! {you are way to young to "give up the Ghost" just yet!}.
Good Morning All
Coffee, thick and strong please!
Ulrich glad to see you're recovering. I've known several people with your condition over the years and yes though very scary, once the procedure was done their lives returned to normal. If I was your Doctor I would prescribe lots of rest and suggest you take it easy and convalesce with trains Anyone else want a prescription???
Anyway I'm hoping the ship is going into Charlottetown today as there is an LHS there and I need supplies desperately.
