Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 60s. Rained all day Sunday washing out time trials in Indy. With rain forecast for next weekend, it could make things interesting trying to fill the field. Had a nice day yesterday as we went to daughter's graduation and then out to lunch for the whole family at Steak'n'Shake. My wife really enjoyed her day. Watched "Housewives" last night.
I had the regular fare on the dining car this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Morning. Prayers for jmkk's Mom. RT, you are still on my list. Good luck. It will happen. Remember, we all stopped and had a prayer for your job and this. Don't get down. It works.
Off to Frankie's old house to help him do some work to finish items on inspection. He has closing to buyer this week.
Rain and more rain. Last year we could not "buy" a drop. Love it. Garden growing. JD mower will not feel left out this year.
Have a great day and God bless all.

Goodmorning All !!
Jason - Prayers and Best Wishes for you Mom, hope get some good news come Tuesday!
Doug - We've always tried to make "groundings" not all negatives, we have used some of that "captive" time improving relationships at home, guess some of the old Paslovs ideas. I remember working on a few puzzles while Chris had some "down time". Worked for us.
John F - I'm really worried, Now that you have a camera in the "other" room, I see major opportunities for a big collision in the main room. While your watching the TV Camera, trains may be pilling up behind you. So you definetly need a second camera focused on the main area. (Then you will be able to watch you, watching the other room, and maybe even watch you, watch you, watching the other room. This could go on indefinetly and make those rainy days more intense.) Or, how to entertain a Dutchman.
Chief - While your wiring Frankie's house, remember it is normal NOT to have a transformer near by, and you will be working with 3 wires not just 2. (Think of it like track and you should be OK, 1 wire = 1 rail, keep them seperate. Also the rooms in a house usually have a switch IN that room, not just one switch that turns them all on and off, located on a board outside the house.
Chuck - From what I see on the national forecast, you may never get to plant that garden, you may need some inside plants.
Roy - There is a nursery with a great G-Scale layout there, Doug W, what is the name I forget?
Just noticed the time, got to get ready for work. More later.
(Got accessories AND lights installed this weekend.)

Chuck....Have you noticed that the Chief has not had an ill word for either of us for over a week?
Jason....Best wishes for your mother.
RT........Waiting is always the worst, with not knowing a close second.
Wife's cousin visiting tonight. Meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Thursday I will need to mow the grass.

Mornin All.
Great weekend, surprised the better half with her favorite dinner saturday nite. Mother's Day we both just kinda vegged out although I did get a little work done on a few train items. Lo and behold the Padres have won two games in a row, in Sandy Eggo we are sounding like the Cubs fans of earlier years "wait til next year".
Last friday one of our forum members, who was in town for an engineering conference, was able to spend the day at the museum with us. I brought in a loco and some hoppers, added some club hoppers so our guest had a pretty nice coal drag.
Bob Nelson, a.k.a. lionelsoni
It seemed as though Bob had a good time and enjoyed his visit. His enjoyment of trains in general was very evident in his conversations with the museum visitors and the smile when he held out the controller for some kids and a few toddlers to push the whistle button.
All in all a great day except for some minor signal issues which resulted in a couple of thrown traction tires.

Yes, Buckeye, I noticed. Kind of worries me. We need to do something to bring out his true nature. ( nasty ).

Afternoon all from cool and overcast Southern Ohio
Kind of low key here. I start nights this evening so did not start anything new. I did win a 768 Oil Supply Depot on ebay and sent off the money order for it, gave blood the double red process. I guess they take two pints and remove the plasma then pump it back in. I've done it three other times. The blood drive was at the high school where my bride is the school nurse, and she coordinate the drive. The Red Cross offers scholorships for schools who help collect blood. This drive was specifically for a teacher at the grade school who was stabbed and shot at the school a few months ago. The teacher is recovering very well and a full recovery is expected. Went and got new boots for work then came home and set out a few plants. Just had a bit of lunch and then I'm going to lay down for a nap before work.
Buckeye and Chuck - Maybe Chief is truning over a new leaf. A kinder gentler Chief. Like a fuzzy Teddy bear
Laz- My bride is also a school nurse and she too is counting down the days!
Jason - prayers for your Mom
I'll check back later
May God bless

Hey all. Sitting here in Rebel land airport aka CLT. Heading West for NBA again. Be back Thursday and then back Sat to LA depending if there is a game 7. If not maybe going out a little later for the finals.
Prayers for all who need 'em. Just too many pages to go back through. Hate to say it but I ususally end up reading the last one only. Just too many.
The trestle project is nearing completion and I'll try to post some pictures. Thanks to Frank53 for some good advice on them.
Take care all or now that I'm in Rebel land...Y'all!

Afternoon all. Wiring and plumbing repairs done at Frankie's old house. Shake and Bake, I was wiring houses and etc when you were still peeing in your diaper.
Now all you CSX fans, this was on Trains.com. Shame, Shame.
FRA report: CSX hid employee injuries
Print | Email | Contact Us May 5, 2008 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - CSX supervisors allegedly pressured employees to decline treatment for injuries so incidents wouldn't reach Federal Railroad Administration reporting requirements, according to a story in the Tampa Tribune. The allegations come from an FRA report, which claims actions of CSX supervisors sent a "chilling" message to employees about how to handle potential injuries.The report details 19 cases from Georgia to New York that FRA officials say constitute harassment and intimidation of injured workers. It noted CSX pays bonuses to supervisors who keep employee injuries down, and said the company boasted to shareholders of a 40 percent reduction in reportable injuries in the past three years. Spokesman Gary Sease said the company "does not tolerate intimidation or harassment of injured employees," and said it had taken steps to deal with the "isolated" incidents outlined in the report.
Must be run by a bunch of Yankees. Speaking of a Yankee, if I had known Marty was in Charlotte, I would have delayed Frankie's work and driven to Charlotte to harrass him [high gas prices and all]. Always worth it to get a Yank.

Hey guys, no need to worry. All the corn has been diverted to "Ethanol" production so you are safe for the forseeable future.

Just waiting to deliver the BIG ONE!!!! You Yanks are trying a sneaky. Going in the the 40's tonight but we will drive you back tomorrow.
HOWDY ALL
Well we had a gloomy day, overcast and 50s. No rain here but I would guess there was some nearby. I took my wife to the eye Doc. today and everything was ok, I go next month. This month I get to see the P Doc. I need to get my PSA this week as he wants the results when I see him. Ten years ago this month he carved out my prostate,so I don't miss my appointment.
Ran some trains for a little while tonite, made a deal to sell two engines I don't use and I wanted to make sure they run ok.They did,they are Lionel.
Brutus,Doug,Kurt, and anyone else,, got banilla,peach ice cream and apple pie. Bring the dogs so I won't have to do the dishes later.....S.J.

Hey there, Sir James -- I'll BELLY UP for some apple pie!
Was going to do some lawn work, but had to do grocery shopping instead. That's okay, we should have another day without rain this week, right? Pretty soon, I'm going to start building an ark!
Sounds like things are back to normal in the war between the states!
Prayers for your Mom, Jason....
Okay, so what purpose would a barrell "tower" serve anyway? The opening on this model kit I saw is apparently away from the tracks? Is this prototypical at all, or just junk?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Well, it has been several days since I got to check on the "Pot". Had a lot of catching up to do. Now, let's see: Mike, all things considered regarding Lucas, it is all gravy. After what he and the family went through and survived, the challenges life throws at you are mear bumps in the road. You all will be fine. I will still say a prayer.
Chuck Sorry I missed your birthday. I have been preoccupied these last few days. Hope it was good for you. And, as for the Chief taking it easy on y'all, He is storing up for the Big One as he was not able to drop the York Bomb and will have to make up for it.
Chief, Frankie sure doesn't fall far from the tree. Seems like a fine gentleman you raised there. I wish him luck on his new addition.
Doug, This too shall pass. You and your bride are good examples for her to follow and I am sure with patience and time, she will be just fine. You may have a few more greys from all this, but remember to turn it over to God.
Sorry if I missed anyone. On this end, been busy. I just finished installing the first of two "hidden Screen" style doors that we special ordered from Anderson Windows. Real neat the way they do things and even after an amature like me did it, it looks good. This weekend was real busy. Had MIL and her husband over Friday and Saturday...so we had to entertain, even though we were exhausted from the last two weeks schedules. Then, on Saturday, we had our daughter's ballet recital. She danced well the first routine and did well. They had several other groups dance for about an hour in between the first and second routine for her group and by the time the second one took place, she just wanted "Mommie". When she came out on stage, she just stood there. Looked around as the other girls danced, but she did nothing. Then, just trotted off stage at the end of the routine. Everyone laughed and smiled, was cute. At three years old, can't expect too much.....I was proud of her. Then, had to take son to Chinese lessons.
Mother's day, we had morning church, and then went out to dinner for a special treat. Came home and relaxed. I went out later and picked up some cards and flowers and some Andrew Loyd Webber CDs. She was happy. After night church, came home and went to bed. Not much going on today, but trying to catch up on the forum.
The big news: We will be screening the MOVIE! They are having a special screening at the church for some members and some special guests. While it is not the big screen movie theaters with the super sound and projectors, we do have three large screens and a Bose system and regardless, it will be cool to see all the work come together. I can hardly wait. I had better get some sleep. We have three big cases in the morning.
Hope everyone has a blessed week,
Dennis

Evening all!
Dougd'G - Wish I could - my business trips never have any allowance for personal time as I do not control the agendas. This trip I will not even have a car (sharing w/4 other folks). Lot's of folks flying in form all over the world for a strategic planning session lasting 2 1/2 days. Meetings typically go from 7 or 8 am until 6 or 7 pm with working meals. If anything changes I will let you know via the forum. The only slight possibility is if the meetings end early on Friday and I could find a ride.
A beautiful day here, but rain supposedly rolling in starting late tomorrow night. Should quit bt the time I return late Friday.
Prayers for those that need them.
Have a great day tomorrow!
Regards, Roy

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cool and sunny 48 degrees. Going up to 72 today, with lots of sunshine.
Today is a less busy day. Wife has routine check up appt. with her doctor today. I will be spending a lot of time outside. Grass is not in need of mowing. Wet, but will dry out. Maybe I will do a little work on the garden area, later.
Dining car is here and is ready for breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Tuesday.

Good Morning from beautiful Southern Ohio

Brent- Good job on the classes. It "finito" for the summer of "finito-finito"?
God bless
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 70s. Last night I got to practice with the high school teams, both the boys and "my" soccer girls. Actually I think there were as many coaches, other adults, and hangers on as there were kids, but it was a good workout. I even managed to outplay some of the kids in one-on-ones (old age and treachery :-) ) and then we scrimmmaged for a while. I had a great time. Then I came home and did some eBaying and some Second Life. For those of you with deep pockets, there are a couple of Lionel Ives late transition cars whose auctions are ending sometime this morning. These are 500 series Lionel cars with Ives plates and 1770 series numbers and Lionel couplers. Very rare. I was hoping I might be able to snag a bargain but bidding has already gone beyond I want to spend. Tonight I get to mow but Lucas will be home to help as well. Still no word on how much to fix the car.
I had the usual fare on the dining car this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Mornin' boys. Rain stopped. Sun is out. Children broke the silverware drawer, so guess what I get to do today...
88 - Lousy news about the RS3 (might have looked good on my pike). Tom ventured out there without me?
Chief - good to know that capitalism is alive and well! Thanks for the info, I'll buy some more shares now.
Mornin train folks. Looks like it going to be a nice day in Pensacola Fl. Picked up all the cork roadbed yesterday and it should all be down by the end of the week. Need to stain and paint the control panel I built this weekend as well as do the final wiring. It will then be ready for the TMCC hookup which should arrive to first week of June. Its all starting to come together now. I would love to work on it today but have a long day at work ahead. Everyone have a great day.
