PS: got home and had email from CTT forum. Duplicate deleted. HUMMM Yankee software. Might be Town Hall server. Sometimes you type and then the line adds. Think I clicked on post and it sat. Thought I had not clicked and clicked again. What is Don's excuse?

Don: It's Alzheimer’s. I bet he doesn't even remember posting the first time.
anjdevil2: I know you say it's for the best, but it's sad to hear of a marriage going south. Prayers for you and your Bride.
Brutus: Nice to hear from you today! I fixed the power problem in the switch. It must be a poor connection. I soldered a feed between the switches, and it solved the problem. I should have removed it, but I just ballasted everything in. I do have another problem switch that I can remove, and repair correctly.
Bride in bed early, already sleeping. Kids too. I don't think they'll notice if I slip out for a bit. Beacon switched on!
I was able to run trains for a bit today! One pile up. I have the bumpers off, and was testing the UCS's, trying to line up the Dockside switcher to uncouple, raised the voltage, hit the uncouple switch a couple of times, and it switched into forward, shooting a gondola down the siding, and across the branch line and onto the floor. Managed to stop the switcher in time.

Well now we are expecting some snow the guessperts said we would not get. A trip to the grocery this morning and a phone chat with Brutus was The highlites of my day. No trains, so no pileups.

Good Evening from Southern Ohio,
It is 31°F and raining turning to ice. The drive home from work wqs lousey, but made it home safe and just finished supper. Taco Lasagna with a Sam Adams.
Rich – Prayers that God’s will be done.
Buckeye – I got your package today
Jack – Do something unexpectantly nice in return, it might start a trend!
Mike C – Glad you’re still posting
Dennis – I worked a plug in the homily for Fireproof!
May God bless

Jon, You forgot to mention PA. We are 3 Billion in the hole. The Gov's last speech he said that he will close down some agencies that are no longer serving a purpose, or words to that effect. If that is the case why did it take a recession to get them closed?
RockIsland, I was being a little sarcastic with the socialist medical situation. As I mentioned, it would make my schedule a lot easier, no call, etc. But ethically, it will be tragic. Not sure folks know what they are getting into. As you say, helps for folks who have a minor issue at the emergency room, but if you need surgery, or any specialized procedure, you will be put on a waiting list. There are plenty of examples from our European and Canadian governments. Over 80% of medications prescribed in those countries are considered "obsolete" by American standards. They will limit the access for folks who fall outside the government limits and so we will allow our elderly to suffer and die. When you set limits like this, the government dictates care. They take away options for both doctors and patients alike. Some things, like: say you need a gall bladder operation. Laparoscopically, it will have you released that day, and back to work in 2-3 days. If it was left to the bean counters, it is slightly cheaper to have open surgery. This will require 2-3 days in the hospital and about 1-2 weeks out of work. Government would require your surgeon to do an open procedure.
OK, off my high horse. been real busy last night and today. Have some big cases still to do. Was nice to watch the Fireproof DVD. What is really encouraging is all the stories of marriages saved from the ashes. While we did this for free, the rewards have been eternal.
Just finished downloading a lot of songs for the iTouch. I have quite the eclectic variety. I think if I played it over room speakers, it would drive other people listening nuts! HMMM, depending on the nurses in tomorrow's cases, this could be fun....
Well, gotta run. Hope everyone has a blessed week. Mike, great to see you here. Rich, hang in there.
God Bless,Dennis

Mike - you are right about that! Your turn to drive
Spent the day hanging out with the kids. Daughter is getting over a cold so they couldn't go out and play in the snow. Local roads have not been cleared yet, I guess they are waiting for some reason? I cleared the driveway with my snowblower, through down some ice melter and that was about it for the day Oh, I did get the new CTT today! Still need to read the Feb issue, which just showed up about a week ago I think?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Is there a difference comin' outa nort caroliner?

So many roads, so little time.

dbaker48 dougdagrump jonadel Doug & Don-- I've been following some of the dire economic news coming out of CA, UFF DA. Is there anything that can be done besides raising your taxes even higher? I just can't imagine how your state government can deal with this. Jon, If I put it in layman's terms as to what I'd like to do there would be some people getting their skivvies in a major bunch and get the "pot" locked forever. So I'll just say that the legislature as well as the governator haven't learned YET that you can't spend more than you earn. Hhmmm, kinda like the feds as well. Oh, foolish me, I forgot that the Feds can just print more money. YES, I have been thinking, and I have the solution....... Since the state is going broke, let it file Bankruptcy, (then all contracts are negated and void, including labor and state employees) Then instead of going into foreclosure..... Simply sell the entire state to Nevada and Arizona!! We already have the casinos, and then there are plenty of other remedies for revenue available. We eliminate all government here and just use theirs. (Could even transfer the correctional system to Arizona, and give Arizona coastal access.)

State of CA must have shut off your phone service. Office line has been busy all day. BTW: my bid is $5 for the whole state.
Rock, I thnk whe wanted the new dog[s] to poop without getting its [their] feet in the snow.
At Town Hall and getting ready for big Chamber dinner [free]. Got back from Mom's about an hour ago.
Mike, my wife is sick with it too. Lots of folks around Roseyville are sick with it. Trying to avoid. Since burning candle at boh ends this week, subject to catch it.
Feeling for those who are getting freeezing rain and now power and trees falling.
Gone to eat [next door in our new Rec building].
Last person out of Cali check the faucets, shut off the oven and turn off the lights, k? Thanks!

This was a duplicate post from above, why? I don't know. (Chief has one on next page). So the system will not let me delete it. So I will just change it!
Took the wife in for "THE" test today. Needless to say she hasn't been too happy about that, been a concern for her for about a week. But, it seems that the prep is a lot easier. Didn't have to drink the chalk milk, etc., just had to take a lot of pills yesterday. So she's home resting.
Since I took her, I tied up all the office phones to each other, its a lot easier to explain a Looong busy signal, than noone answering. (We have a answersing maching, but our 800 number is ONE digit off from the Embark Service Line, in Tennesse, and Kentucky. So we get a lot of phone calls..... "Dis here phone don't work, send sumone." I end up paying for the call, and they think someone is doing something about their phone problem.)
Anyway, test went fine. So back to the office to make up for lost time.

Good morning all,
We have about 6 inches of snohio in SE Indiana this morning, and more is on the way. I took a personal day as I did want to fight that stuff on the way up AND back. Went to the YMCA and did the usual routine last night. New washer and dryer are being delivered this afternoon. The "saucy wench" absolutely hated the other ones and I did not want to live 25 years with her complaining about it. She tried another brand and liked those so they will be here today. She is fighting a bad cough and trying not to infect me. I should go back to work tomorrow as the snow will taper off tomorrow morning (so the clouds do not slam shut!). Jack, you have an interesting way of encouraging people to participate in the forum. Anjdevil2, sorry to hear of your new living status. Hope things improve. Chief, it is nice to hear what is truly valued on the pot. Brutus, the beacon will be lit for tonight. A little snow will not slow down the Tardis! I had bacon and biscuits on the dining car this morning for breakfast. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Jack, She probably just wanted to make sure that YOUR new doghouse would be relatively level so you could sleep well. What did you do now ?
It is with deep concern and confusion that I post this.
While I was examining the insides of my eyelids, my wife went out in 11 degree weather last night and shovelled some of the snow off our deck. In over three decades she has spent a grand total of about 34 seconds shovelling snow, and an equal amount of time cleaning snow and ice off the cars.
What conclusion am I to draw from this strange behavior? My suspicion is that there has been a purchase of which I am unaware.
Waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Jack

Good morning
Sunny and 12 degrees, oh boy I've had enough of this. No breaking news this morning so just a hello...S.J.
Morning all. Spent the evening battling the middle boy over doing homework. All ended well. I think. A balmy 14 here. No snow except forecast for late tonight - right in time for when I get out of class. Glad to 'see' everyone! Can't wait to read my CTT on the milk-run home (every stop - 2 hours) Praying for Rich and Mike as things work out.

Morning from Town Hall. Got meeting with developer. Then going to Mom's down east. Later.
Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. SNOHIZO - SCHOOLS CLOSED - GET BACK TO BED! S'posed to be icy for me to work in this evening.
Good to see that the sun came up over Indiana...
Finished my new Meyersdale Station yesterday. Needs some rr ties around it's foundation to fit the slope it rests on. Those ATLAS structure kits are nice.
anjdevil - I'd let you stay here but I'm severely allergic to cats...
Welcome back Mike and always good to see Jack/RockIsland....!!!
Looks like a real foggy morning, up to about 68 and someone had a big accident by the airport, fortunately nowhere near me. Of course the Princess was late this AM, still made it to school on time. Her foot is better, she's learning her lines for the play and doing her homework...so far so good.
Looks like my departure from the house is imminent. No worries. I've found a couple of 2/2 apts. that I can just about afford. Trains definitly on the plans, be it in my Master Bedroom or the living area. Just need sometime to accumilate the downpayment. I'm bringing my 2 cats and the Princess and the pet fee is like $350-400, depending on where I go. Thanks for the prayers and support, guys. I won't be leaving here anytime soon and this is for the best. Just a separation for now, I expect it to be ammicable. It's a bad time for all involved....but God has shown the way and I understand it. It's all good and I accept what's going on.
Time for work, and decide where to live, just wish I could get a place to buy. I hate renting.
Cheers, my friends!!! We'll talk later and more about trains!!!!
OK then, no need to stop in Roseyville on world's greatest road trip tour. That was easy
HI GYZ,
Well its 22 here today and we a in for a little sno-hi-o tomorrow? Bout time! Can't wait to shovel and snow blow.
MIKE C. , glad you're back.
BRUTUS, WOW, and I thought it was filmed in NY. Yep, you are right it was Addrian Barbieu, got her mixed up? Nice outfit she wore.
Stay Frosty,

Good Morning from Snowy Southern Ohio
We got about 4 inches of dry snow last night. It took just over an hour to get to work. Nasty roads. Thanks be to God and prayers for safe travels for those who need to get out.
