Jack, You are fine, go back to page 18 and you will see where someone else used your quote and then turned it into an attack on me. Your follow up was in turn used by me to hopefully put the issue to rest. I have no problem with you or your posts. Your original post was hijacked by someone else to question my credentials. Funny thing, I have left my information the same since I first logged onto this site. All anyone has to do to see what I do is look there. If they want my license information, check out the Georgia Medical Board, or, I also have a license in Tennessee, they can check there. I also have my national boards and membership in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion, American Academy of Cardiovascular Perfusion. The person who made these accusations has nothing on their information. I am sorry you were brought into this. NOW, lets talk trains. I just got another one...a P&LE boxcar from K-Line. Also have some parts that should arrive Wed. so I can take care of some repairs.
Thanks again,Dennis

Seems as though I have come down with the sniffles. My two year old daughter had them, now its my turn..I just hope that is all since I am only about 3 weeks past getting over pneumonia.
I did drop off my U-Boat to Lionel today for some service. That went very smoothly...
Hope everyone is having a pleasant day.

Afternoon all!
Brutus: Thanks for turning on the Captain's Choice mufflers, and not running open when you arrived last night! Worked like a charm!
Charlie: Prayers for your health as well.
DougM: Buckeye should have your car now. What happened to your car?
Doug DG: I watched the news again today...seems like I do it to myself just to get the BP up. Rumor has it that after the Trillion dollar stimulus package is approved, there will be another bailout. We shall see.
Chief: Prayers for better health.
Been building on the Sand house. I can draw buildings and details in my sleep. Building them is a bit of a challenge.

Dennis, IGNORE. Anyone who questions your credentials is an -------. Will not say any bad words as I promised Bob K I would behave. I think you know that only a troublemaker would do that and try to draw you out. If I ever have to bypasses again, I might just insist you come to visit Rex Hospital in Raleigh. Of course you would be practicing out of state. Anyone who keeps people alive while their heart is stopped and being operated is a hero to me.
Back from DR. No phone call from Dr. so probably do NOT have "pewmoina" [had to have an Xray]. Still running a good fever with Tylenol. On Leviquine and my cough syurp. Crashing again as it took all I could muster to drive to Dr., xray and back from Raleigh. Rich, got the box.
PS: Mitch, watch out. Don't let it get too far.

Evening all well the last of the Nascar items came in tonight so I now own 1 of every piece Lionel made of it guess will put some shelves up in soon to be train room and display them there.
Patrick Will try to get a pic of them all once I get up and all but that might be 6 months down the road as I want to paint that room first and have to wait for wife to get plants out first to do that. LOL.
Not to much happening here off the next 2 days so hope to get some relaxation in yeah right bet she has a honey do list already going in her head lol.
Had to laugh at work today as Sunday this lady at work said she was going to get a employee to switch positions for Monday with her as he was slow in the position he had well he called off this morning and they switched her to that position and she was crying that they didn't even ask her if she would mind doing that instead of what they had her assigned to. I told her she just loves to complain no matter what you got what you wanted and your still complaining.
Hope all had a good monday will talk to you all later
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

Good evening! Having a nice evening watching Trains & Locomotives on the Prairie - Rock Island railroading. Some old and new footage. Grandma is in trouble! She sent down money and a letter to congratulate son on straight "A"s on his report card. So, after tithe was taken out, we headed to Toys R Us. Kid picked up a Lego Farm set that retailed for about $50 more than the gift from Grandma, but fortunately, Aunt had sent him a gift card to cover the difference. Only problem was that they now have him asking "what will You get for me for making straight As?
Also made arrangements for both kids to take Violin lessons. They will get fitted for a violin this week. Jon, the teacher does the Suzuki method as you suggested. It will be good for them to learn as we know that music helps in many other disciplines. Thanks for your suggestions.
Well, gotta run. Chief, hope you are feeling better. Charlie, best wishes for you. RT, how is your back holding up?
God Bless,Dennis
Good evening all
One of our forum friends made a post on the other forum and the bashers swarmed in like locust, it's already way off topic.
I checked out a few train things this afternoon but no breaking news stories.
Chief, if grits and NC weather keep you sick all the time maybe being up noth ain't quite so bad after all. Except those minus zero degrees. Oh and snow. Other than that it's ok here.
Brutus fire up the thingy and let's go someplace and see something.

Doug M....Were you able to download the photos I emailed you?
Chief.....I told you too much hooch would make you sick. Did you listen? Nope, you never do.
Doug.....I'm so sorry it is raining in Southern California and it is below 70 degrees. I assume the Red Cross will be coming to your aid any day now.
Chuck......Has the snow melted off of Blueberry Hill?
Wes....I'm doing train show on Sunday. Are you going?

Buckeye, they're grrrrrrreat!!! Rainy here tonight. Met my match with algebra homework. Fife, today, I planned flowers and even scheduled a 'retreat' day for her at the end of the month for the big V day. Whew! Thanks for the warning.

Buckeye.... The snow has melted on Blueberryhill. Soon the grass will grow.
DougDG - better watch out or FEMA will show up and "help you"
Jack, there is always room on the Tardis, esp for folks from the coffee pot! Dogs are welcome too, but there is a separate room for the cats
Well, we apparently got the double charge on the phones fixed. Time will tell for sure (2 more days and we will know they didn't mess us up).
No train stuff today other than posting here and another place where a pal of ours is not being treated very nicely. Go look and step up if you feel it. You might smell some OGRes. Lionel gives GOOD SERVICE, I think.
Speaking of which, wife now wants new ceiling fans. I guess, since one of them blew a bearing last night. These two fans were put in by the builder about 12 years ago and we have had them turned on the whole time I think, except for a cleaning or two?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
I forgot to mention, now that the minus zero weather has past, hopefully, our repaired electric blanket arrived today from Sunbeam.
sir james I I forgot to mention, now that the minus zero weather has past, hopefully, our repaired electric blanket arrived today from Sunbeam.
beacon is on and I have the Mint choclate chip ice cream and the chocolate chip cookies in my hand and out the door befor you know who catches me.
Get it in here soon Brutus.
Evenin' FellasNot much goin' on in these parts. Due to Fife's constant reminders I'm heading to Cumberland this weekend for a leisurely stay at a B&B with Susie-Q... I'll post any pics that are appropriate nature for this forum! For those with ties to train stores... I'm in dire need of a Lionel 6-28298 CSX AX6000... email me if you know the location of one for sale.
SJ, Brutus and RT.. Thanks for your comments over at the other place. I appreciate it.
494 is lit, pick me up I'll go for a ride!
On da way, guys - Kurt's turn to drive, need to grab Jack and Sir James, but first I'll get RT and we'll see how many cookies he's talkin about! Mike's on the scope and I see a couple more here and there too. Charlie, we'll get you right after Sir James. Doug too, of course. Laz should be credited with the new exhaust system, said he didn't like the old noisy version Oh, Don, Dennis, Ray and a few more just popped on the screen too!

GOOD NIGHT ALL.
Last Call, Ya'll,
Charlie, Chief, Lee, RT, and DougM......prayers for you guys to shake your sniffles, fever, back, back, and sinus crud. We need to start wearing hazmat suits until this stuff blows over.
Brutus.....I'll bring the dog biscuits and some Buttwipers for Laz. Will make him appreciate his Ole mils more. Pup has his coat on.....promised him he could leave SJ a present on his "green spot" when we drop in to pick him up.
Dennis......did I hear you mention "Rock Island" in your post? You've got my attention. So many old road names are gone.
Roy.......you said Texas rain is on the way. Since they do everything bigger in Texas, does that mean monsoon?
Laz.....was amazed you took a day off from running. Not enough snow and ice?
SJ....... re grocery shopping, my wife made an agreement with me many years ago to split some of the household chores. I was nominated to do the grocery shopping. So I figure, how hard can that be? Until I am at the store and each item she places on the list presents a cerebral challenge. List says "green olives." But.....what size of green olives? How large of a jar? Stuffed or no? With or without pimento? Or onion? Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian? What brand: store, brand x, on sale, or the expensive ones? If I call home for clarification, she gets annoyed. If I don't call home, I figure I have about a 1 in 15 chance of getting it right; and of course, I never do get it right. After spending 5 minutes on the first item on the list, I go to the second. "Hot dogs." Hmmmm beef, chicken, or turkey? Kosher or no. Bun size or regular. 4 to a one pound pack or 8? How many packs? You get the drift.
Don.....thanks for the layout pics. Was that big deep black cut out for your rendition of the Gulf of California? I'm with you on Nascar.....watch on TV only, unless it is on a road course where you can picnic and wander the various spots around the track walking or by car. I also like the vintage car races and used to go to SCCA events. Mid Ohio. Lime Rock. Road America. Watkins Glen.
DougM.....was nice of you to schedule a retreat for the wife. You didn't mention if that would be a retreat from you for her, or a retreat for her FOR you. We could all use a few days of train time.
JimSP.....you were right when you suggest we need to stop and smell the roses, give thanks for what we have.
RT......when it comes to honey do lists, keep your wife away from the pc and word processing software. Sometimes I think my wife likes to see how many pages she can fill up. And when I find the document and delete it.....and then hide her print out, wow!
Good Night, Ya'll
Jack
IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Evening all,
It is COLD here, at 3:00 pm today it was ONLY 46 !!!! (Honey, pack the bags, find the kids its time to move!!)
RT - Speaking of wives, here is what you need to do. Help her get a hobby. IF she has a hobby she won't have time to extend the Honey Do List. IT WORKS !!! Our community college has an adults section, and they offer many different classes, and most of them are really cheap. I found a bead class for her. She started it in October, made a bunch of Christmas gifts, and tons more. Advantages: VERY time consuming, supplies are inexpensive, (more train money), can generate some revenue with her work, (buy more beads), Makes her own jewelry, (BIG savings), and did I mention it takes a lot of time. Really works. Don't do Tole painting, that makes lots more Honey Do's.
Brutus - Enjoyed the ride tonight, it was good to get out of this cold weather.
Good morning all,
It is cloudy and wam in SE Indiana with temps near 60. Washed the van last night to get rid of the road salt. Went to the funeral home for the dad of some friends of ours. Still made it to the YMCA. One of the workers there made the evening a little better by practicing soccer passing with me. Long evening. Long day today. Woke up early because I could not sleep. Good thing I am not driving today:-) Good times on the Tardis last night. Beacon will be lit again with lots of zucchini bread for everybody. I had a little extra on the dining car for breakfast this morning. I hope everyone (especially me) has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
HI GYZ,
34 and another nice day here although cloudy but to get to 51?
JACK, every once in a while I do take a few days off. Sometimes its good for the body and the mind? I just gotta keep on movin.
BRUTUS, new exhaust sytem grrrreat. Better then my own.
Stay Frosty,
laz57
Jack, Yeah, it is from Herron video and the episode was "Prairie Rails". It was all about Rock Island. One interesting tid bit from it, they had film and a story about how they had to demolish a coaling tower as they went into the diesle age. The demolition team had it rigged so that the tower would mostly fall away from the main line rails (tower was concrete). Well, the press got ahold of things and wanted a more spectacular blast. They told the demolition team to place dynamite at the top to make better pictures. When the blast went off, the tower came down away from the main line, and then the upper blast put the major part of the bunker right on the mains. All too funny.
Hope everyone is having a great day.
Chief, I know, ...
Dennis
Mornin' Fellas.Sittin here at work trying to work on a report while listening to people rustle chip bags and crunch... oh what fun!
Morning all. Real warm. Cough cough. Now for some brakfast and coffee. Going up to train room and check out DCS remote. I am having some issues since we downloaded 4.10. It seems I am not the only one but "some" think it is not true. Going to do some testing.
Dennis, that one has no respect from the "members" of the POT. Its like a shout in the middle of a forest. Only the trees and animals of the forest hear it.
