Sun is out and it is warm so he see's his shadow.  Been up early waiting with the .17 for him to pop out.  ShockWhistling

Think I will service my pickup this AM and then got County Commissioners meeting [have a little speach for them] followed by Town Board.

Mike C, the roads are clear here too [except for traffic]. Laugh

Jimmy T, sorry you will have to work and rework.  Once repairs are made, throw something together so you can RUN trains.  The other can wait. 

Better get moving.  Breakfast seems to be a Hardee's chicken biscuit or a porkchop and gravy.   Later

Up to 65 today with rain, cloudy now and about 45. 

Had a run in with the dryer, couldn't figure why it wasn't drying, found the heating element split, ordered a new one, should be in by Wednesday.  Another 2 hours well (?) spent.  Dinner was good, roast beef, gravy mashed potatoes and corn with cresent rolls.  Left overs for tonight!!!

Have a great day all, will check in later (and just found out 6 more weeks of winter)Smile,Wink, & Grin

Okay...I believe that, except it still does not explain how you became Mayor of Roseyville. Laugh

Good morning all!

Been away for a couple of weeks. Life has been busy!

A beautiful day today - 50's and bright and sunny!

Yesterday was great - 70 and sunny! Unfortunately my day was spent finding and installing a new faucet for the kitchen sink. That turned into an ordeal with 5 trips to Lowes - defective new faucets - faucets that cannot be installed due to tools that do not exist (well one could make a tool -spend maybe half a day doing that!) - finding that the J trap was ready to crumble - so all new drain pipes.

Great Superbowl last night - didn't really care who won. My wife did as she did not want the Steelers to end up with more SB wins than the Cowboys!

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Regards, Roy

Good Morning,

Guess you all know that the Steelers won the superbowl! NO New England Big Smilenear the playoffs, that's funny as they won the superbowl two years in a row and now can't make it past their division with Miami.

Police had a busy night just down the street from me, busted a local Rooster Fighting Ring on 9227 Palomino Court near Wellington FL. Five people handcuffed and 80 birds seized, two dead birds found at the house. I was at work when I heard about the local bust, Angrydidn't even get a chance to see the police go by my house. Update, 80 birds have to be killed as they were trained for fighting.

The write-up happy clownsClownClown are still trying to get me to come in to work early. The way they treat people might have something to do with it! Old Chinese proverb applies here; 'Fool me once shame on you!' 'Fool me twice shame on me!' Also heard they were offering $50.00 gift certificates over the phone to come in on your day off but never planning to ever send one certificate out, guess I can stay at the house and see what I can sell on ebay instead. I think on old Pennsylvania saying applies about the company I work for, they are like a chicken running around with it's head cut off, not knowing what they are doing. They cut their work force down so far that now they have to hire temps from an agency to fill some positions. The company's name is Fanueil, a contracted company for the turnpike.

Not much train news, maybe I will run my trains later this moring before going to work(Sign - Oops I said a nasty four letter word!).
