Then I guess you look at all the license plates going down the road and pull over all the ones north of MERRYLAND?

Our eldest starts Pre-school on Tuesday...Orientation tonight.
Doug: Bride and I do the same thing...usually looking for things for the kids.

Evenin' boys. Rain & mild here in the Mid-Atlantic region.
CSXect - Rich was correct about the rotors. The Chargers are fabulous for dem hiway patrols, but the constant stopping and going in urban/suburban areas apparently wreaks havoc on the brakes. Dodge is going after the law enforcement market full-tilt boogie, and judging from all the Chargers, and now Challengers just sitting on new car lots, I understand why. And,YES, I do get jealous!
Black Diamond - Yep, we've got ride-along programs.
cnw1995 - There's nothing wrong with the Crown Vic, other than it can be a boat at times. Ford now makes it exclusively for PD's, and we'll probably keep buying them to help them out of their hole, much like we did with the Diplomats and Iacocca back in the 80's.
Chief - thank you for the kind thought. Oh, about the driver training, we tend to save that for those that wrinkle fenders. Our fleet is mainly rear-wheel drive. I think for its size, the IMPALA is the ideal car for today's force.

Law Enforcement Officers have always been my heros. I know that is why Frankie wanted to be one so bad.
On the meds. Can hardly stay awake. Think I will down a bowl of soup [you thought I was going to say GRITS]. Waiting to see if we get the rain. Turned real warm and HUMID.
88 - You two are in our thoughts. Keep on keepin' on. And I figured the drive was sapping you some. Perhaps an upgrade into Sirius radio is in your future...I certainly enjoy channel 981 on DISH...ahhhhhh... Are you going to YORK?

GOOD EVENING,
Finished CTT today, two real good issues in a row with classic trains again at last. Old memories with Frank Ellison,I remember when he wrote magazine articles. It was good to see some of his buildings again. Me I worked a while on the last item of my buy, old 027 switches, rewired and ready to go. Oh and I still have a track section to rewire. forgot about that. we had gloomy all day but no rain, we may get some overnite but who knows. That covers my day so Brutus fire up the thingy and lets go....S.J.

Brent,
Do what Fife says and get Sirius. I just installed it in the Sunfire tonight, and I couldn't be happier. I got a great deal on a Streamer receiver and docking kit on ebay. I am never going back to regular radio!
Got home, tired, off to bed. Did want to check in and see how everyone is doing. Chief, hope you get to feeling better soon. We are leaving early tomorrow afternoon for the movie showing in Atlanta. I doubt I will get to check in till maybe Sunday after church. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
God Bless,
Dennis

Warm and humid in St. Louis. Mike C - forgot to comment about your son, glad he's in school and hope he does well! Got home and mowed the yard - did the whole thing and knee didn't pop or grind, so it's a lot better, thank God. Need to get more exercise, I can tell I've been taking it easy for a while now
Sir James, I have some leftover cake from a party at work to bring, you've got banilla, all we need is rootbeer! I'll be over in a few minutes, okay?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Buckeye and I are still going to York...I think...we need to finalize.
So I am getting both knees scoped to clean up some torn miniscus, and some other stuff while he is in there. Nothing reconstructive. Does anyone know how long before I will be able to stand and walk on them after the scope? I'm sure it's different for everyone.
Tomorrow is my 10 year anniversary. Not bad for a 31 year old...
Have a good one,Wes
'appy Anniversay, Wes. Good luck with the knee.Brutus, beacon is on! Come and get me outta here.I don't think I will ever pay for radio
Cloudy and light rain off and on all day long, but not enough to measure.
It's been a busy one, and another one tomorrow. My new emergency generator is to be delivered tomorrow, next will have to get my Propane supplier to do his thing.
Got word from a LHS that I new switcher that I ordered is in. Maybe find time to pick it up next week. They already checked it out on the test track. Sorry Don!
Haven't found any time to work on the dollhouse last two days, maybe Saturday.
Yeah, I have XM, but with the merger, all XM & Sirius channels will be available. I'm just waiting to see what happens before I upgrade....
Brent - Glad I could help!!!
Ran the 1055, and it ran better. Now runs over switches without stalling.
Had Tacos for dinner and then went to Sonic for an Orange Cream Slush YUM!!
Chief - get better
Brutus - for your uncle
Doug - Walmart -- That's where we went after our wedding reception...don't ask...
See ya tomorrow.

Do they let wheelchairs into York? Wes, we need to find out what we need to do from someone so they let us in the door. Congrats on the anniversary. Tell the Mrs. the same.
Chief....How can you be sick? Get well soon.

On the way Doug and Jim! Buckeye, if they say they don't allow wheelchairs, just invoke the Americans with Disabilities act of 1994. That should scare them straight on that issue! Get well soon, Chief and keep those bedbugs at bay!
Honey-do list is growing for the weekend Will make time for a steak and some Sam Adams, that's for sure. What was that beer you recommended once, Doug? Something with "moon" in it? At least I learned my lesson from Laz, no fruit in da beer! Laz, come on over and we'll have a couple cold ones!
Kurt, if you want to call some morning this weekend (not too early!) that would be great - same to any of yuz giz! Got drywall plans with Sir James too, though!
Good evening everyone,
Got back home from the shore Wednesday morning. We had a 7.1 surround system installed Saturday before we left. The system consists of a Denon 7.1 reciever, 5 Definitive Technology Speaker, 1 Definitive Technologies Sub woofer, and 2 Bose outdoor speakers. The setup has the 5 speakers and the sub inside and the 2 Bose speakers outside. The reciever is dual zone capable, which means I can watch T.V. inside and my parents can play music outside. As of now, only one Bose speaker is operating. The Geek Squad guys were at my house from 10 AM until 11 PM. They're coming back Saturday morning to finish the installation. But the system sounds amazing. I watched Shooter and you hear everything, and I mean the shards of glass that fly out from windows after a sniper shot hits a propane tank which cause the house to blow up.
Speaking of large cars, I couldn't turn down the opportunity to drive a Mercedes S430 4Matic for the whole month of September. I was suprised how easy to drive it is, and the parking is really easy too. However, there are some spots where it is very troubling to park. but other than that the car is awesome! It accelerates like no other (probably because it has a 4.3L V8) for a vehicle of its weight and size, (only tried the acceleration on the highway, not illegally either), the ride is smooth and is very user friendly. I actually find my dad's Chrysler 300 to be more challenging to drive.
Have a good night everyone!
Just a quick check in to let folks now I have not fallen off of the face of the earth. Opening has been great at the new school. Still developing new routines for dismissal and traffic patterns, etc. Having some technical issues with some Dell 2400MP projectors. Have a tech services rep coming today. Biggest problem so far is the noise from the students chairs on tile floor above us. The second floor is a concrete deck poured in a metal pan with steel girders supporting the metal pand and the deck. No insulation to speak of between the drop ceiling on the first floor and the floor of the second level. Kids stand up and move their chairs and it sounds like a heard of elephants is thundering above us. Need to work out a solution. We may have to ask each child to bring in a can of tennis balls and we will slice them and put them on the chair legs. I have got the sales rep for the chairs running in circles trying to find a solution too.
Take care,
Mitch

Morning!
Brutus: I'm up at 5:00am...too early?
Brent: We have XM, and it's great, especially when travelling. Or just buy CD's. 5-jazz channels. I listen to the traditional, contemporary, and standards.
Wes: Happy Anniversary!
mitchelr: Try laying acoustical batt insulation on the ceiling tiles. Careful about running the isulation over the lights. They need to be rated to do so. Ask your architect. Second floor carpet or carpet squares?
HI GIZ,
62 and damp, hardly any rain yesterday. Wouldn't you know it though right when we were to play GOLF the heavens opened up and result was NO GOLF. Oh well at least I didn't loose.
BUCKEYE, TGIF!!!
WES Happy Aniversery!!!!
Good morning all,
Sunny with chance of rain in SE Indiana (typical Hoosier weather). Lucas survived first day at IU with help from his sister and mom (long story). Can't say the same for the soccer kids. "My" soccer girls got pounded by arch-rival 7-0. It was a road game (maybe glad I did not see that one). Watched the boys lose 5-3 in a game that featured 4 (count 'em, 4) penalty kicks. Normally one is the most you see, two is rare and four does not occur unless there is a shoot-out. Each team had two and all four were made. Friends from Chicago coming down this weekend. IRL is at Detroit this Sunday. Hope AJ's team can make up for the disaster at Sonoma. I had the usual fare on the dining car. I hope everyone has a good day. Congrats to all those with anniversaries, and hope all who are ailing get better. Good to hear from you, TMCC man. CNW1995, I remember the kindergarten days. Enjoy them now as they slip away from you.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
