Another warm day here in WI. Windows open and fan running last night, and it felt good. A repeat for today, than the change...back to spring.....early spring.
Happy birthday to you , Alexander, I share NP's thoughts on how fast time can fly. It seems to get quicker and quicker. 18 for me?.....well it seems like yesterday....well maybe last week? Just glad it wasn't, been there, done that, and besides, I'd be late for work already...lol..( OOPS..I mean w**k) and certainly wouldn't be typing on a computer key board while on the ......inter-what???...the world net???? uh?...
And a happy birthday to your son, too, NP. My youngest son turns 30 this year.
Have a great day everyone !

Good morning. It's 65° with 99% humidity. It'll be cloudy with showers likely. The high will be 82°.Shopping will be the prime activity today. I need to do the first half of the grocery shopping as the cupboards are somewhat bare. I also need to get more gauze pads and tape for my foot. I may work on the layout later today.
Good Morning!!!
Coffee and OH! Some of those leftover chicken wings would be tasty.

CDN Dennis- Oh I just have a regular subdivision lot, oops, sorry Estate Lot’s a little bigger but mainly pay more in taxes. I make it sound like alot because I'm going for the sympathy vote. I do use the tractor for more than just mowing otherwise I would just stick with a push mower. Not MUCH more, but more. And since I don't have to take care of my Mothers yard, which was an acre, I truly thought about not replacing the thing. This push mower I have now is self propelled so I’m just pretty much walking around the yard. But the wife…..well she wants to be able to mow as well and oddly enough she just can’t seem to get a push mower started. Never could. But a riding mower, now she can use one of those. Usually doesn’t….but could.
Alexstan- Your B-day today? Or just this month. If it’s today….. If later, I take it back and save it for later.
NP2626- Boy you ain’t a kiddin when you say life speeds up after 30. Whew! Hope your boy has a happy birthday as well.
Looks like heading to Nebo today so Brenda can see my Aunt. I have to get the old Cub outta the shed so I can get the new one in before tomorrow cause the rains a comin. Maybe a few storms.
Ya’ll have a good day, ya hear!!!!

Um, not to get my nose in anything, but someone asked Jeff a computer question in the other place, can't remember who. Maybe he's PM'd you maybe not, that's not why I mention this.
Why I brought it up is as a helper, around here when we mention someone we want to see something like as in a response or a statement, we highlight and/ or bold the name so it jumps out at the reader. Especially Jeff if he's not feeling well or if his eyes are giving him fits, he may just skim for his name...or.....he just doesn't wanna answer. But I doubt it, I've never seen him refuse to help someone. And, there are other skimmers too, especially if they've been away for a bit.
Speaking of away for a bit....Lee? You out there? Bet he's got a few bridge issues.
NP2626 It's my youngest son's Birthday today, too! Holy cr_p, he's turning 33, that means the older son will turn 35 in June! Life goes far to fast, once you turn 30, enjoy your youth, Alexander!
to him too! Yep, time goes exponentially faster the age-ier one gets!
Well
Went to the store..no food stamps..had to put the food on CC. Have a call into DSS to find out WHY. Lets see "your call will be returned in the order in which it was recieved"..I called at 8:35, they start taking calls at 8:30, let see how long it takes them to call me back!!! They think if you get services, you have nothing to do but wait for them to call you...
Well, today is free bread day too,, they will call while I am getting THAT...
MOH got called in for orientation today...earlier than the tomorrow they wanted MOH. SO we will see.
well of fo my chores.
Alex!!!
to your's as well!!!
YIKES! And I turn 65 next month!
Where does the time go?
When I was 18, I joined the Navy and went to sea on an aircraft carrier. I saw a lot of Japan and the Philippines, but mostly we were off the coast of Vietnam.
Best of Luck to you and enjoy the next 60 years!

Another beautiful spring day in the Old Dominion state! I just finished my sausage, eggs and hashbrowns. Doctor recently put me on a high salt, high colesterol regimine. Washed it down with a big glass of whole milk just like mom used to make me drink before I could leave the table.
Now to get my protein enriched butt back to work..........

Hey Galaxy! Where the heck are we this month? I don't recognize any landmarks around the place...
Today I might actually get time to go down cellar and stare at the layout for a few minutes while I do laundry. That will be after I finish mowing the lawn.
Best get my old bones moving...
Later!

Morning all,
Just got done trimming back a tree in the front yard. The humidity feels like it is around 150%. Doing laundry now and I need to vacuum later.
I am off w**k for 7 days because of the change in my shift days. I go back for 2 shifts then it is vacation time for about 2.5 weeks.
to all those getting ready to have a birthday.
James- You should have a great time in Thailand. I did a port visit in Pattaya Beach in 1992. Talk about a wild location.
Hope everybody has a great day and prayers for those in need.

Morning All,
Currently 47 with an expected high of 65 under partly cloudy skies.
Today being Wednesday, is my regular day off. I have a load of laundry going right now. Will cook up a few meals for the week and freeze them in small one person portions. Then pay a few bills. Was thinking about yard w**k, but decided the layout needed more attention, so I hope to paint the engine house and do some more scenery w**k.
to all those celebrating their special day.
Prayers to all in need.

Afternoon guys
Been working on getting the front bumper and fender off of my brother's Miata. It's nice to have a car that only has metric bolts and nuts. My mustang has both metric and standard (ton op of torx and hex-sockets). Took a few hours but I got it. The killer was getting into some of the areas to loosen bolts. The car is probably made for small people, by small people. I wonder if Jeff could fit in one, much less get in (I have issues doing that)?
There was also a recess for a snake. I was taking the fenderliner off of the driver's side, and apparently there was a snake in there. It landed next to me (laying down on my back) and didn't move, I thought it was dead until I touched it. Me and the snake kinda scooted away from each other... I figure it was about 18-24 inches long, gray/tan with black/brown squares on it's back. I thought it might be a small diamondback, but it didn't have any rattles. I got a 6-foot long piece of PVC pipe and nudged into the grass away from the me and my brother... It did wrap itself around the pipe once when I was holding the pipe, and I tried to get my brother to take a pic but he didn't. I went back to work and guess what my brother does. He goes and lays next to the snake with his camera, and starts poking it with a short (probably under a foot) stick. The thing just played dead when he did that. Any idea what kind of snake that might be, and why was it inside the miata? The car has been in the garage for over a year and a half now. I wonder if it was there the whole time? We haven't had any issues with rats or mice, so it may have been keeping them away.
I don't know if I'll work on trains today. I did get pipe cleaner yesterday to get the paint out of the beacons. I just don't feel like messing with it now.
I won't turn 24 until August... I got a ways to go lol
NP, happy birthday to your son
Alex, happy birthday to you.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
jeffrey-wimberly/quote]Most of the time I do just skim over the postings as I have very bad dyslexia, possibly worse than Galaxy's and there's a good possibility I'll miss something meant for me if it's not highlighted in some way. I take the time to bold and highlight someones display name as I assume they'll probably be skimming as well. On helping others, I'll help it I'm able to. If I don't know about what their asking about I'm not going to pretend that I do. Either I know about it or I don't. I'm not going to lie about it. Some questions I get are computer related, some are decoder related, some are related to things I've done in rebuilding a loco or building a Frankenloco. Sometimes I respond in the thread, other times I respond via PM.
Hi Jeff, I think it was a post from me, directed to you, that Todd was referring to. I'm not sure how you highlight the name like you do...I'll try this: Jeffrey-Wimberly, I don't know how you do the the color thing with the name, but anyway, the question I had for you, since you are way more computer savy than I will ever be, I stll use a computer with Windows XP, home edition, and IE 8.0. I don't think I can up-grade any more, as the automatice updates, etc., have expired, as far as I know, especially for IE 8. I discovered that FireFox seemed a lot better and faster on a lot of the sites I use, so I now use it, version 20, with auto-updates, for most of my browseing. I have noticed that there are some things I can not do on Fire Fox, that I can do on IE 8, and one of them is view the web cams in Trains. After reading about Java, and Fire Fox, I understand there are some secutiy issues between Fire Fox and Java, so I was wondering if it's something I can do on my computer? or just avoid any hassles, and use IE 8 when I want to view the cams.
Thanks Jeff.
got some handrails to replace, I busted the ones on my PSAP GP40-2. I was also going to go back and continue scouting out the layout.
Was it unusual for trains to be longer than the platforms at back in stations?
Good afternoon.
Sore and tired. Not feeling well. Don't feel like doing anything right now. Will get to work, get through that, head home and sleep.

In the posting WINDOW MIKE, on the top toolbar, right next to the FONT SIZE box {to it's right} is a "A" with a down arrow to the right of it, click on the arrow, you will SEE COLORS. When you highlight the letter/word/sentece/paragraph. and click the arrow to the right of the "A" and select a color... it will make that letter/word/sentence/paragraph that COLOR.
To select a background color, the 5th item from the left on the second line of teh toolbar is an "ab" with a pencil next to it. click it the same way after you highlighted a letter/word/senetence/paragraph to get a BACKGROUND COLOR. DO both, and you get a color within a color!
Well well
we went and did somehting we haven't done in a LONG awhile..we stimulated the economy!!!
We went and bought a lawnmower{needed since a yr and a half ago, but we been borrowing the neighbors}, a srayer for weedkiller, a new box fan, two throw rugs for the hall by the washer/dryer and SOME plants...a Hibiscus {as opposed to the LOWbiscus} for the MIL and a parsley and basil for us to eat.
Tomorrow we have to get MOH some new clothes..we tend to wear PJ botoms./T sirts around the house, and MOH's are worn out now and MOH has put on some weight {don't say I told you so} so now needs bigger sizes...
So, we wil once again stimulate the economy tomorrow.
On Credit cards of course.
But Now with MOH working, we can afford to do so!
