Man am I tired - wife was up coughing and hacking all night and I had to get up about 4:30 for work. Could have slept until 5, but woke up anyway - one of those when it rains it pours things I guess? Trying to keep my eyes open so I sleep right tonight. Took son to Gamestop to spend a lot of Birthday money (thanks for the well-wishes guys), then we went out to a Chinese buffet. Wife got a rose, but gave it to our daughter as she's not much for flowers. Since she has been sick, we agreed to have a nice valentine dinner next week when everyone is better (I hope).
Roger, that's not a very good move to raise prices in a recession
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Buckeye Riveter ChiefEagles BTW: there was another co-conspirator on the box car thing. Will not reveal the name but he lives above the MD line. We will believe that when pigs fly. Saved emails as proof. Shake and Bake.....We have you as our number one witness in our lawsuit because your story will convince the federal jury in the Central Ohio District. He's the instigator!!!! He will bail out on you when in court to save his own neck.

Great day at the "office". Did not see a single Ohio license plate nor an OSU shirt. Did see several Michigan State shirts. I contirbute that to Michigan State grads are educated persons. OSU grad can not leave Ohio due to not being educated and no one will hire them except the uneducated Ohio companies.
Now for a rest and watch TV [some microwave popcorn on the side].

Happy St. Cyril & Methodius Day! Patron Sts. of all of the Slavic Region.
Laz: Are you Slavic? Slovak? Me 50%.
Brutus: Prayers for you to get some sleep, and for your Bride to get better.
DougNottaG: Bride made rolls today! I e-mailed the recipe. Might be just the thing.
Ran sound for a special event for our youth pastor. He took his Bride out for dinner, and wanted to sing to her, so our keyboard player recruited a band to make it happen. Our senior pastor and a few others sang back-up for him. His daughter arranged about 200 tea light candles around the walkways and stage area, for mood. Great night!
Beacon is on!

Good evening all,

BTW: that was a fake police car. Ours does not look like that.
Hmmm, I guess your right. However as a Senior Authority, why would the City's Official Website incorporate a picture of Police Car that DID NOT BELONG to the CITY???? (ref. banner) Maybe you didn't recognize it upside down. The Black Car is one of the Ohioians vehicles, as is the first photo, only it is white. (notice the eagle/buzzard emblems on the door.)
Now as far as the double agent stuff goes, you know the Great (now broke) State of California, maintained a state of neutrality during that frecus of 100 years past.

KURT,
YAK SA MASH!!! DOBRE!!!!
Yes I am 100% We sorta got the raw end of the Feb,14 Feast Day. Everyone gives it to St. Valentine, but really it ST. CYRIL & METHODIUS' Day.
AH HOVNO ANYWAY!!!
Glad to know their is another HUNK on this FORUM?

HI GYZ,
Went to Mass and then took WIFE out instead of making King Crab legs. Went to Golf course where they had Chesapeeke Chicken, chicken stuffed with crab in Marinaro Sause, taters, beans, dessert,I don't eat, a ROSE for the WIFE and BEER for me. Came home, took dog for walk, gave WIFE kiss, ran trains for 2.5 hrs. NO PILE UPs. All is GOOD in MILLERSBURG, PA.
Stay FROSTY,
Sounds like a great meal, Laz - and no Pile Ups, so all is well with da world!
Thanks Kurt - I think the tide is turning and people are getting better.
Tardis is ready, beacons on the screen and ready to fly - got some Sam Adams', some red wine we got for Christmas (it's not bad if you like the stuff, I guess), and promises of cookies (RT was baking earlier) and banilla!
Brutus, tell your wife to get Dr. to prescribe Tussionex Pennkinetic Susp Mpi. She will sleep and sleep and not sober up for a while. Codeine with a good taste.
Good night all. Sleep tight and don't let the coughing keep you awake.
It was a cloudy and cold day in SE Indiana with temps in the 30s. There are some moments when life is worth living. Friday night I went out to the YMCA for the regular routine. My Brazilian soccer "student" from last fall was doing some treadmill work. I asked if she would rather play soccer instead. We set up some make-shift goals and hammered away at each other for over a half hour. There was some junior high kid watching us and since I was leading fairly comfortably, I asked him if he wanted to play as well. He was fairly good, but I managed to maintain my lead until she had to leave. I still did my weights afterward. Even though I was gasping for air half the time we were playing, there was a grin on me from ear to ear. Even though I will never be a Beckham or a Ronaldo ( or even a Mia or Marta for that matter ), I still love the game and last night reminded me of why I go to the YMCA and exercise my tail off just to be mediocre. Wife and I watched "Dollhouse" and "Numb3rs". Both were good. Saturday was house work day and then we went to the fundraiser for the oldest daughter's school. Food was good, but the rest of the event was boring as h---. Did go to the YMCA again in the afternoon and got an e-mail from my Norwegian soccer friend. Tomorrow is the Daytona 500 and I have to work on taxes. Beacon is lit but someone else can drive. I had bacon and biscuits courtesy of the "saucy wench in the kitchen" for breakfast this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

Dobre!!! Prosim si velke pivo. Ah Hovno.. I have to admit my slovak isn't as good as my french, est horrible. This will give me a good reason to start. Do you make the smoked chub and saurkraut soup with mushroom gravy and barley for Christmas?
I did spend some time with the sokol group in my youth.
My family is from a small village in the south west, last contact was about 6 years ago thru my aunt, who called the village. She asked for someone, and they said they would get them....20 minutes later he came to the phone. Only phone in the village, and he was in the fields.
Up early to get chores out of the way in time to watch 500 and pre race coverage.
dbaker48 -I got the email notice of your 12:55 PM post, went to the thread to see the pictures and no post. What happened? Was it your first paragraph maybe?
Roger - I can relate to the concrete test cylinders. I worked summers in Collage taking and testing those cylinders. We were paving streets and made a test cylinder every 50'.
laz57 - That is real train dedication. On Valentine's Day you kiss the wife and run trains for 2 1/2 Hrs. A lot of us need understanding wives like yours!
Brutus - I know I am new to this thread and not sure what the Tardis is. Is that a vehicle that has peddle power, shoe leather brakes and no roof? Sometimes has John Deere written on the side?
Patrick
RFD-TV --- Rural America's most important network!
Patrick its acually takes the shape of a phone both ( english) and it comes from the old DR.Who and it could fly thru time and just from one place to another now ours even thou looks small is quite large inside and even has a second room to it where you can run trains lol.
Mike C. all these years ( I admit skimming over your postings but yet reading them) I would see you put breakfast was made by the saucy wench and I thought you were talking about your wife or someone sorry. Especially when you cvame saying you weren't going to be posting anymore as you had a couple hard blows and didn't say what it was lol Glad your back thou.
Morning all well I'll be going back to bed soon as only slept about 4 hours last night with this cold but do seem to feeling a little better but need some sleep lol
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

Mornin' boys. Sunny & 31 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Unfortunately, looks like rain all day at DAYTONA (ain't that a kick in the butt...) Hey, that reminds me...
Chief - TUSSIONEX ; does it work on "roids"
laz - Hey brother, ya might want to ease up on the OL' MILL intake, could hardly understand your posts last night. You were slurring your keystrokes...
I predict a good day on SPF...
Hey Laz .... I keep reading " no pileups " on your posts .... do you run them flat out screaming at full throttle ? LOL
RT - Wow! A flying phone booth. Where do I buy a beacon? I need a fly over so I can see this thing! Do the UFO people know about you all?
Here I go again showing my newness, but what is the 4 1/2 star rating in the upper right corner of this thread?
Also fifedog - Not sure what SPF is. Something to do with NASCAR, or something I am to young to know about?
Chuck - Tony #14 is happy to be back in a chevy. Now if he could change tire brands-------
Patrick we like learning you new bee's one step at a time SPF = Sunday Photo Fun out on the main forum page
EDIT: It is always since I can remember started by Jim Sturgeon-Phish
fifedog Chief - TUSSIONEX ; does it work on "roids"
Might make them worse. Will stop all of that unless you take some softners. You will also lose pressure so don't pee on yourself. Stuff is powerful. Best take a tiny swig. Will stop coughing and dry you up so you have to take a lot of liquids.
Morning. Got to get packed and moving. Seems it is real late but it is Central time so not too late. Got first class to Charlotte and then home. This use to be fun but now it is more of a job. One thing better is they have cut it one day shorter due to the economy. Now for some strong New Orleans and LA Community Coffee.
BTW: is that Ohio guy still whinning about his cheap mpc run of the mill I love OH box car. Think I will send him a pacifier and a teddy bear.
Later
Good Morning
Too early to decide my day, Still trying to finish last CTT, just can't stay with it. Thats not a rap, I think I have been into these mags. to long. Sunny for now but clouds are suppose to drift in later. Running some trains may be part of my day but then my wife has not told me what I want to do yet. Have a great sunday..S.J.
Hi GYZ,
28 here this morning and about 1/2 inch of snow. To get to 40 so it should be short lived.
PATRICK, YEP WIFE watches a movie I go and play downstairs. She usually falls a sleep during movie then she'll wake up come down watch trains for a while, 5 minutes, say their nice looks good. Then says good nite, goes to bed.
OLE TIMER, Nope only run them about 60 scale MPH. BUCKEYE runs them flat out, plasticville people have big insurance policies in ROGERS CORNER.
KURT, yes we have Holy Supper on Christmas Eve. Start with the oplaky and honey, follwed by musheroom and sauerkraut soup, the bolbalky, pierogis, fish,we have perch, better tasting, finish up with kolatchy. And oh yes PIVO! Ol Mil of course, women drink the wine. I too have relatives in old country,I don't know but they are there. I get the Jednota news paper, every two weeks. There is a section in there for speaking Slovak, and with MOM still alive she is giving me some lessons. I was taught when I was 5 by grandparents but remember some stuff but not all, wish I did. So I'm learning every two weeks and every Saturday when I call MOM.
FIFE, if you want, you too can start speaking Slovak. KURT and I could teach you.
Stay Frosty,
Good Morning from Southern Ohio,
On dayshift, training a new supervisor, he is going to be my replacement when I go to straight dayshift the end of this month, and he is running things and I am just being “available”.
Valentine’s Day yesterday was great. The bride loved her tiffany lamp. When I got home from work, the bride had blackened salmon asparagus sweet potatoes a great white wine and homemade chocolate truffles for dessert! Wow! I married above me!!!!
Mick C – I am impressed, juggling with dumbbells last week and now keeping up with teens on the soccer field!!! Wow you da man!
Don – I about choked on my coffee reading your story line in SPF!
RT – I am not sure how long Sunday Photo Fun has been around. I’ve started a lot of them lately but I think it is more so because I am up early on Sunday either due to work or church and love to share photos. BTW I tried to put a third rail on the layout but I could not figure where to put the wire.
Check back later, May God bless
Jim
Sturg, always glad to see your photos. SJ, they are great sleeping pills for me. Going to get the "sausy winch" to throw in some grits one day and fool Mike C.
As Willie says, "On the road again." Chat later.
Good morning Coffee Potters and Hairy Potters too!
Well, got some good sleep last night, so feeling a lot better myself. My wife sounds a lot better, but says if she is not feeling well I can just take the kids to the party at noon. Waiting for my turn in the shower. I offered to save some water, but was denied - I guess I'm too green for her? Looking at small switching layouts online, I want to model one that would be basically a module now and then able to add to bigger layout later as a separate line off on one side - maybe pass freight back and forth? Also still working on a tinplate project - need to finalize plan and make a prototype out of some posterboard I bought.
Oops - sorry Chief, wife is only allowed Robitussin DM per doctor as she is on asthma meds and steroids now.
Patrick, you are more than welcome to come along, just turn on the beacon and then you can brag about all the fun we had the next day
The Tardis, circa 1963, which is interestingly the year I was born.
Brutus, l finally learned what the Tardis is but not sure about the "Beacon". Must be some kind of control for the Tardis I am not a child of the 60's. I was a grown man then trying to make a living and not paying too much attention to things like Dr. Who.
Chief, I see you made it home OK from the "Big Easy". Must be a great place for sea food. Did you get a free upgrade on your flight to first class? I have never had one of those although my wife got one once. I'm happy if I can just get a seat with enough leg room in coach. I used to fly a lot going to York up until about 2001. Always had to change planes in Big D. Everything on American changes at Dallas. Then fly on to BWI or where ever you were going. Speaking of rude people. My worst encounter was in New Jersey years ago. Nothing special, it was just that everyone I spoke too had short answers. I guess up Nawth, they don't have time for small talk.
Regarding Civil War history in California. Maybe they did'nt do much here but there was some kind of unit stationed at Ft Tejon between L.A. and Bakersfield. They have reenactments there today. I guess they were Union Soldiers. I went to school in Virginia so I was taught more history on that side of the country.
Don, hope you did'nt eat those Susie Q's after cramming them in that box car. They must be something like a chocolate Twinkie. I used to love all that kind of junk food when I was a kid but can't afford the calories now.
SPMan
SPMan - My reference to the "Beacon" refers to the beacon light various members of this Pot thread turn on so the Tardis knows to stop and pick them up. I need a beacon to see what this flying phone booth looks like.
Brutus - Just notices your invitation for me to go for a ride in the Tardis. Got to get the beacon installed. And thanks for the Invite. The rotating blue Tardis Pic. is neat to!
SP, not home yet. Sitting in the NO airport. Could catch an earlier flight but will sit here and rest and wait until 4:15 CT [now 1:55]. Sold out of product at Cabela's. Could go downtown and see the parades (.) (.) but being an old gierser, will sit here. Might get caught up in the wild life of NO and stay.
Well I see Mr. Whiney is not on here cryingover his cheap box car. Funny how he can shine so much and then type this on the other thread:
Buckeye Riveter I have done five conversions and I recommend ERR Conversions. The Chief talked me into doing the ERR instead of the TAS and I'm glad he did. It was so simple. I didn't solder anything. Wire nuts were used at the splices. My directional lighting worked perfectly. Buckeye and the Chief recommend ERR Conversions.

The Ohio way, I guess.
As far as the"fruit loop" from CA, he has to type his posts on word and then paste them on the forum. Kay helps compose them as his "level" is not up to ours.
Patrick, be careful as those Yanks may pick you up and not bring you back. Can't trust Yanks.
Later.
PS: Choochoo Auctions has an OVEDRPRICED I love OH box car for sale going off right now. Price is $10. Seems it is the same RARE ONE OF A KIND box car Buckeye has been whinning about.

Good Afternoon Y'all! Back is a bit out of whack as it was a rough night sleeping. With bride at work, I let the kids sleep in the bed with me and the dog. We have a big bed, but all four of us were on my side. Got up early and did some errands around the house. Then I was cooking breakfast when the bride came home. Wife went to bed, I got the kids ready for church. Then at church, one of the camera operators didn't show, so I took his spot...that only added to my back issues.
Fife, I think the medication for the "Roids" is "Tushinex" Actually, round these parts, folks put cayenne pepper on 'em and it supposedly clears them up. I am not that brave.
Well, I have been busy getting some projects done on rolling stock and engines on the layout. I am going to order some LEDs from the firm the Chief mentioned not too long ago here. You know, in reading this last issue of CTT, I noticed that two of the "Tips and Tricks" ideas came from folks in Ohio. What is with that? Didn't think they had it in them. Probably stole the ideas from a good hearted Southerner Just kidding guys. Great ideas and thanks for sharing them.
Wife and kids are getting ready to make snow cones. Down here, we have to make the snow to eat, up there, they just open the door and get it, yellow or not.
Hope that each of you has a great week ahead. I will continue to keep the concerns in my prayers.
God Bless,Dennis
