Aparently, a lot. The weekend's here, and almost everyone leaves campus. I haven't made a post in a few days, and am just 9 from 100...

Maybe Mookie took the weekend off...

I have to agree with that. But right now there nothing interesting to me here, so i don't post a lot. We need to come up with a good topic- i was thinking about something with humor.

Humor, go read a JIM STORY. [:D]

LC bring back HOBO JO [}:)] [:p] [;)] Where is she? What ever happened to your idea about "feathers", or did you forget?

[Puckdropper]

I looked back, and there were no posts of interest... They either were talked out, or the question was answered.

Mookie is forced to take every weekend off. And she hates it with a passion, but is too cheap and too tired to get the forums at home. So everyone on the forum gets a two day break. And wait until December. They close campus for almost 2 weeks. Gah!

You're gonna have to spring for a month of I'net access! I'm online all the time, and cannot stand not having it. The last few times we moved, the ISPs (internet service providers) got a bunch of questions asked to them. Usually about reliability and costs. We went with a slightly more expensive ISP, and have had no trouble.

Before we got the I'net, I used to watch a lot of TV. Now I hardly watch it (in the offseason GO CUBS) at all.

What do you mean.......It's time for a new round of fall TV reality series....

Who Wants to Marry an RR Engineer?

Survivor: Donner Pass ( airs on the Food Network)

and my personal favorite:

Amazing Videos of Stupid Things People Do at RR Crossings (or riding lawnmowers).

so u want humor, eh? here's something i did a while back and never got around to emailing or posting, i hope u all like it, if not, oh well, maybe it'll stir up some controversy

Top 25 signs you’re a train nut (in no particular order other than which I thought of them)

1. You’ve purposely moved to a house closest to the railroad tracks.
2. You’ve never complained about the noise of the switching or horn blasts
3. Your train videos out number your movies
4. You have more home movies of trains than of your family
5. All your computer wallpaper, screen savers, and sound effects are train related
6. All your MP3s are train songs
7. If you haven’t already framed all the pictures from your train calendars you still hang them on the wall even though they’re several years old
8. One of the stops on your garden railway picks up the daily mail and newspaper
9. You have a garden railroad
10. Your doorbell is a soundbite of Ralph Wiggum (from the Simpsons) saying: “choo choo choo choo woo woo!”
11. You replaced your car horn for a real train air horn
12. You don’t speed down the highway, you highball it
13. You think your car runs on steam and you make absolutely sure your truck is a diesel
14. You refer to your driveway as the “yard”, the garage as the “shops”
15. Youthink of your trailer or fifth wheel like pulling a passenger car
16. You don’t live in a house, you live in a depot
17. You own a caboose
18. You always travel by train
19. When you travel by train you don’t understand what everyone else is complaining about
20. AMTRAK=FUN!
21. Your email address is the name of a railroad, the name of a train, or the name of famous trainman.
22. Most of your vacation pictures have more trains than family or friends or the feature attraction
23. The trains ARE the reason you went on vacation
24. You have more issues of Trains Magazine than most collectors have comic books
25. You’ve nicknamed yourself the Iron Horse Man* (that's me)
* I still think this name suits me better than that website (www.ironhorseman.com), which I have no affiliation with, but it's all good.

WHY does a clothing seller use ironhorseman for their name--they have nothing to do with trains? That doesn't make any sense to me at all. They sell cowboy stuff (no offense intended) not train stuff.

Uh, your guess is as good as mine. I chose my screen name as in Iron Horse=old steam engines. As for their version? Horse= because cowboys ride horses. Iron=??? because all the metal used in the cowboy era was made of iron??? (eg horseshoes, branding irons, spurs maybe, saddle stirrups, cooking supplies, etc.) I don't know, think ruggedness, I guess. If you look really really close at those pictures those shirts are just T-shirts with printed designs, not real buttons, chains, vests, etc.[V] It looks like a costume.

I'd like to have that Url when they're done with.[8D]

You know your a train nut, when your wife will not let you drive because you always pick a route that follows train tracks in the hopes of catching a train.
You know your a train nut, when you come to a rail crossing you STOP, LOOK and LISTEN with out being told, in the hope of getting caught by a train.
You know your a train nut, when your wife hides the latest TRAINS magazine and will not give it back till you get all your chores done around the house.

I drive a turbo diesel pickup, and all I can say is that it must be REALLY fun to drive a 16 cylinder turbo diesel.
Limitedclear, I missed the "girl photo", what was it?

OK - I ate my Friskies, so here goes. This was on Paul Harvey and he is rated G. Besides since most of the readers are male...well, read on and you will get my drift!

Guess Londoners, as in England, are used to late trains. Seems they are late because of leaves on the tracks or the rails are slick. But something new came up the other day. They were late as usual, but it was because the Engineer Trainee fainted - from listening to the hoghead describe his vasectomy.

Sissies! [:I]

Was the Trainee male or female?

I am back and yes, I did ruin his nice day off. A little. Made him take me to the grocery store - he cooks, so he has to contribute to buying, too.

Wanted to go watch trains Friday afternoon, so after putting away groceries, we both sat down and never moved until supper! Drat!

But Sat and Sun both, while he was working, I slipped out and Millie and I watched a lot of trains! They were cleaning out the yard, so everything that could, moved. Saw UP, lots of coal, lots of freight and one TFM engine! The Dash 9's still sound like they putt-putt. They are really noisy next to the SD70's. And scared the peas out of a front-end loader. He was going to go around the gates until he sized up the engine coming at him - at a pretty good clip! And this was an older man - well, he had white hair, so assume he was over 30. [;)]

Have one question, and will post it as soon as I get through the list!
