Patrick, Like that avatar, kinda reminds me of the OLD seed packets.
I hadn't thought of it, but you are right. I remember those seed packets. The avatar is our youngest grand daughter's favorite book.

Jim S.,
Thanks for the tip about removing link pins.
Brutus,
Are you on Xbox Live?
Dennis,
Sorry to hear about the broken rib. That sounds extremely painful. I hope you feel better soon.
Patrick,
Trust me, that other site can be dangerous.
Don,
I have been following the discussion, and I agree 110% with your views on the issue.
Chief,
What are your thoughts on artificial bait versus live bait?
The only thing I have left to do today is to write a C program for a Computer Networking class that outputs the system day, date, and time to the user. I am too lazy to do it though.
Windy and cold outside and here I am siting in my warm office processing internet sales and listening to the Classic Country Hour with Chet Atkins on RFD-TV. Life is good!! If I had a train going around the office wall life would be perfect.

Sounds like a nice day, Patrick. Hey, looks like my office opens in another hour - after the gas fumes dissapate. So I get to teach tonight after all. Looks like I'll be the only one in our college office. LOL. I hope i remember how to answer the reception phones. Couldn't find any Dept 56 at Macys.

Patrick, since you are a cattle farmer [from your profile], I guess you watch the cattle auctions on RFD-TV. I don't get it here on TW but do at the lake house on Direct-TV.
Trumpie, I use artificials for bass [lots of crank baits and some spinner baits. In grass, I use unwighted Senkos]. Use both for Crappie and Walleye. Crappie, I use a slipcork combo [like introduced by Bill Dance] and a Wabbleeye jig [eyes will rattle in the tiny jig] with a minnow hooked through the lips. Walleye, I will use a night crawler on a weighted rig for clay banks. I really prefer a number 5 Shadrap in Firetiger on banks and in the trees. Send $50 for fishing lesson.
Now to walk to the lease and pond and feed the deer and birds [just finished refilling feeders here at the house].

Thanks for the info. It has been about four years since I have gone fishing, but I plan on getting back into it this spring. Thanks again.
Commercial time on RFD-TV, so--------

I do watch the local cattle auctions (eastern states). But sometimes other auctions replace RFD-TV's train shows and country music shows. That is good time for running trains.
Good Afternoon all! Yeah, Don, I read your posts over "There" and agree. I don't use the stuff that much, so really is not an issue with me, but you have the right to ask a question and they should either respect you, or just clam up.
Just got a DVD from one of the orderlies here. Real nice guy who loves trains (but models HO). The video is from "The History of American Railroads" and this episode is the one "The ERA of Diesel." Looking forward to reading it.
Thanks for the well wishes guys. Ribs hurt a bit more today, but have been busy with cases. I really need to get back into a exercise routine, but I need to get better first. Have a train show here this weekend. I plan on going, but I am sure it will be 90%HO and N. One dealer in O gauge is usually there and I can often pick up a piece or two from him. Either way, it is trains!
I hear it got colder here today. Was in the 30s when I came in at O'Dark early, but not sure what it is now. Don't expect any snow, I'll let the Chief battle that monster.
Watched RFD on DVR last night. Episode on German Steam....was a great show of our European brethren. Very nicely done with lots of shots in the main yard at Dresden.
Gotta run, God Bless,Dennis

Patrick, if I were you, I wouldn’t sit too close to Fifey.
Sooner, or later, he manages to turn all serious conversations into a discussion about his “tighty-whities”.
Ahhhh .... thought it was some fabulous concoction only known to this forum .... after telling my wife of the sweet tea.... we never pass a mcdonald's now she does'nt make me stop for a super large cup .

PS: quote worked this time??????
Afternoon all from Southern Ohio,
Just woke up to 22°F and sunny, and the smell of split pea and lintel soup in the crock pot. Yum! Put out some food and water for the birds, and going to inspect the paint job on the 751 to see if another coat goes on before moving to the next color. The house on top is done and ready to reinstall.
All you guys with snow and not used to it, be careful. The body shops are busy enough right now.
Chief – The good part of staying inside and baking is it helps warm the house, and smells soooo good.
Laz – not counting the days are you?
DJSpanky – glad you are feeling better.
Jon – The idea of walking is a good one. I am not as ambitious and my knees can’t take what Laz does, but the buildings where I work are about the size of four football fields, so I try to take a long walk every day too.
SJ – a 350 Royal Blue?
Patrick – Fife will take good care of you,
Fife – you will take good care of Patrick, won’t you?
Need to get ready to go to work
May God bless

Hummmm Is there something this newbe should know??
Reminds me - we need a tongue in cheek smiley face (TCSF?)
Or at least a Coffee Pot FAQ...
Good Evening All
Sweet ice tea and grits are both good. Ice tea to drink, grits for filling pot holes. Dr. wants an MRI of my wifes shoulder before he decides what may be wrong beside the arthritis,rotor cup? maybe. Waiting for Charlie to arrive so we can play with the toys for awhile.
Phish, yes a # 350 w/molded on handrails. A very good piece for its age.
Banilla is ready maybe brutus can pick both of us up. S.J.

Whatever you do DON'T pull his finger, no matter how many times he asks you to.

Patrick I also say becareful as Fifey has this strange love for W.VA. and he may be confusing your VA. with it. He does have something about bragging about his tighty whiteys and it seems to me he came home one day and they were all strung out across his bushes in the front yard.
Oh becareful if you go thru MD anytime as he may be the one to pull you over.
Evening all supose to get cold tonight but by next weekend we are supose to be in the 60's ( jan 30 & 31st) Whoo hoo I'm for that almost swimming weather there

Thanks for the support guys ! I do really appreciate it !
To summarize, at the other place I just had to put my in regarding the smoke. Then, Jeb replied, and as it turns out he is the new OWNER of Mega Steam. And, had made a few statements regarding his philosophy regarding the company. So I called and talked to him. He seems very genuine, and quite knowledgeable. We talked about scented vs non-scented fluids, viscosity, and residues. He shared with me some of the testing he has done, and especially on new engines and smoke elements. I am much less concerned about a scent additive having a negative affect on the wick. Especially given the amount of additive is utilized in order to obtain the scent. He also emphasized some good tips regarding a new engine. (Making sure that the smoke is turned OFF on initial start up, then adding initial fluid and let the engine set over night, then add approx 5 drops, then operating.) Jeb was quite open and very accomodating, also when asked about the MSDS, it was addressed as well.
So, I don't really have an issue anymore, as it was primarily wraped around lack of answers and information. I was quite impressed with the entire conversation. BTW Jeb is from VA., so there is a lot of southern politiness in place. I am certain he will be successful.
Now that that is all over,
Was surprised with the Inaugaration, and the bo bo's, that's too bad that the sound clip from the first black President will be flawed. Then the Benediction at the end, wow, was that something. Sure doesn't start off with the image I had in mind for this event. Too Bad!
Lawson - Don't be too concerned about Fifey and his tightie whities, (unless you live close), his family usually has them hanging on their fence. I think it all started when he was playing with some sling shots or something. Its all relatively harmless.
Was another beautiful day here, but the clouds are rolling in, and will probably have some change coming real soon.
Later,
Don
Don, is Jeb's name Stewart? If so, you had a ghostly conversation and all the Yankees will run for cover.
Don--
THANK YOU for calling Jeb, that was the smart thing to do, it seemed to resolve the issue.
A most excellent day of watching inauguration coverage, we should all pray for our new President, his plate is full. He is starting out behind the 8 ball for sure.
Jon
So many roads, so little time.
sir james I Good Evening All Dr. wants an MRI of my wifes shoulder before he decides what may be wrong beside the arthritis,rotor cup? maybe.

SJ. My doc sent me to visit the Marquis de Sade a couple times a week for a few months. They were extremely good and it really helped, sometimes I would have to ask my wife to help me get dressed, After the physical therapy didn't need her help, maybe that wasn't so good after all.

JimTrumpie - I never got an xbox, instead I got a new laptop about a month later. So, I'm not on xbox live, sorry!
Posted about 100 words earlier and then got a big error message. Glad to see I didn't kill the whole thing?! Tardis is ready - Mike says Come and Get it!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Don, I didn't get to see much of the event. Don't know what you are speaking of regarding inauguration. I did see his little mis-speak during the swearing in. Can't imagine the pressure on that one. I will pray for the president. I do not agree with him on most of his agenda from the campaign, but now that he is in the hot seat, I am sure that his decisions will be tempered.
Fife, had a cop get shot tonight. I was handling an emergency case and they notified me of the incident. A drug investigation unit was involved. Cop took one to the shoulder, Perp... Well, he is getting final justice. Cop will be OK. We'll say a prayer for the guys in blue.
Temps ended up in the 40s today. For those in the colder areas, especially with snow and ice....Why don't you just move to where it is warmer?......just kidding, hope you are all safe.
God Bless,Dennis
Made a chocolate cake with white icing today as you guys finished off the pineapple upsidedown cake last night. Sorry the blueberry muffins I made this morning are all gone.
Beacon is on waiting for jim or who ever has it tonight.

Lawson....Welcome to the pot. I have been unfortunate enough to sit next to fife de dog. Now do this. Put your hand slowly on your wallet pocket. Anything missing? Now take a slow look at your watch. Again?
Well, Mrs. Buckeye again made me ride another train. This time we rode the Grand Canyon Railroad from Williams to the Canyon. What a ride!!! Photos later.

Snohio has stopped. Most of the streets and main roads are clear except for wet spots. That is the problem. ICE as it is going to be 16 tonight. School is out due to that and most places work is delayed until 11 or so.
Dennis, the stumble in the oath was caused by the Chief Justice who screwed up the oath.
Now time to sleep. Have a good night and sleep tight. [Pam baked sour cream coffee cake and seafoam candy]
Well Charlies on his way home, had a great visit and enjoyed his company. He tried out the new GG1 set, and the scale Hudson and the scale Berk. and he ran some Williams. So I guess we did ok for one evening. I saved the banilla for our thingy ride though. So Brutus come on by I am ready...S.J.
Evening all,
Jobs are passed out and work in progress. Just a quick check in before most of the US goes to bed.
Dennis - Like you say, prays for the guys in blue, and all others who keep the resto fo us safe.
SJ - the 350 Royal Blue is one of may favorite engines. Here is a picture of one I refurbished I changed it over to a smoker with the reverse in the tender. The other 350 I have is original
Good night and may God bless
Phish, good color match, looks great. I got the knuckle on with some help from Charlie(four hands were better than two) we used a dremel, cut the rivet off, and with a little fumbling we were good to go with the knuckle. thanks for your help. I did it because the Flyer I have is all knuckle and it was the best way to keep everything the same.
