RockIsland - When things look down, folks party harder during occasions like St Patty's Day...a need to forget about things for a bit. Some folks just get carried away. In our district we had a homicide, a gas station hold-up (arrests were made on both of those by the way) and a ton of Drunken Drivers (which will set them back 3-5 Vision steam engines...the big ones). The doodle I had was on "greens" (hope that's not coming back)...and yes, he was Confederate Light infantry material.
Thanks RT for this one......it's worth repeating.
Irish Blessing:
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His Hand
Fife......rumor has it most of the arrests you made last night were guys from North Carolina. Do you call that rednecking, redlining, or just plain profiling?
Lee.....I hear you about the eyeglasses and the expense of the lenses. It's easy to rack up a $500 pair of glasses. And that is without the automatic indoor/outdoor adjustment feature which supposedly negates the need for sunglasses. I've been wearing contact lenses for 42 years but need glasses for reading or the ability to read the odometer in the car while driving, up close stuff. So I got the Varilux lenses that have no prescription at the top half of the lenses and then the reading prescription kicks in, progressively stronger reading prescription as your line of sight moves toward the bottom of the lenses. These work out well until the dog gets ahold of them. [banghead] And you think you have scratches in the lenses. Been mulling over laser corrective surgery. Hope the MRI results come out in your favor.
Laz......we're over here on #5, not #4. Folks think you died.
DougM......good luck finding a bonded, licensed, insured, and experienced roofer with references who will do simple repairs. All most of them want to do is tear the whole thing off and start over or warn that "I can't guarantee.......you should do it right." Life without a dishwasher.....what a pain. This one is still under warranty, right? Thanks for the picture of the Chicago River all decked out with green water for St. Patrick's Day. I needed that!
Patrick.....don't pick up on all of those disparaging monikers Chief ascribes to folks of Northern descent, like SCALAWAGS and CARPETBAGGERS. He is terribly conflicted because he can't reconcile how wonderful we truly are.
Chief.....I owe you a phone call. Also need to bone up on my drawl and Southern euphemisms.
MikeC....my wife can't bear to miss an episode of DWTS but takes unkindly to my suggestion she should go out and buy similar outfits.
Brent.....up my way, those cement noise barriers seem to always wind up abutting the upscale neighborhoods built long after the highways were built. We are told by the state DOT, the first to apply is the first to get scheduled......provided the DOT agrees there is a need. Seems like they are fairly consistent with which neighborhoods they determine have the greatest need.
Later, gang....I mean, ya'll.

Good morning all:
A Reminder - "Grits and Ice Tea Free Zone" in the Pot #5 title means no charge. They are free like the coffee.
Farm chores are done, now its time to install fence posts around a small pasture (on the train layout, NOT on the farm). The 2" foam top makes it easy to punch holes and glue in the posts, as well as trees, shrubs, power poles, Etc.
The Lowe's in our area has the 2" foam in 4' X 8' sheets.
Lee F - Speaking of needed rain, ever notice how most people, including weather forecasters, consider rain to be "bad weather"?
SJ - I tried to post a comment on CTT's current "Bob's Train Box" and they wouldn't post it. All I said was I enjoyed the segment, but a certain posted critical commenter needed to lighten up a bit.
Fife said - Lawson Farms - Good lookin' can. Does one consume its contents chilled or at room temp? The answer is - Depends on how thirsty you are.
See all later.
Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. A bit foggy and 43 (you can always tell a Petty fan...) here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Busy night last evening! Didn't get to bed 'til 0330.
Lawson Farms - Good lookin' can. Does one consume its contents chilled or at room temp?

Good morning all,
Overcast and 50s for today. Showers possible later. Gas is up to $1.95/.1.99. Strange thing yesterday I posted a thread on the other forum at the 3RS and they deleted it.(among others)Yet the regular forum will allow bash,insults,ect. doesn't make since. As usual I'm not sure what today will bring but I hope we all have a great day...S.J.

Good Morning,
Woke up to hear it raining about 5 am today. South Florida needs this rain really bad as we have been in a drought for almost three months, the drought index was around 810 the other day. Also should be raining for a few more days!
Went for an MRI yesterday, get the results later today or friday as the doctor is off on thursday. Also went and got new glasses as my other glasses were scratched up at work, $25.00 for the exam and $305.00 for the glasses, and that is with an optical insurance policy, without insurance $550.00.
The eye glass places that have adds: 2 pairs for $90.00 or less, NEWS FLASH!! that is just for the frames, NO lenses!!!!!
Put up some cloud scenes on the one wall in my train room, above my track that is mounted near the ceiling.
I think I will have to get off line as the power keeps blinking. I have a battery back-up unit for the computer just in case that happens, supposed to give 7 to 10 minutes of reserve power.
Lee F.
I think I know where Laz is. I was looking over some articles on the other forum and I seen post's by
LAZ1957 and the Chief, I hope they have not gone to the dark side. But I must confess that I also read
the other forum some times. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Good Mornng from Blueberryhill....
It is a cool 50 degrees. Sunny. Going up to 70 today with mostly sunshine.
Today is grocery shopping day. Wife has left for the big city. Gas prices are still at $1.85 a gallon. Food prices have continued to slowly rise. Wonder why ? Must be bonus time. I guess it's better than 4 bucks a gallon.
Dining car was here and we had Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Wednesday.
Chuck
Morning all. Supposed to be greyer and colder today and tomorrow. Bathroom slowly coming together. Gotta find someone to repair part of the roof. Always something, right? Ran the LNE boxcar last night on an inner loop where it doesn't derail. I got an interesting email from Lionel about a 'road show' showing off their 2009 catalog items including Legacy/Vision with a stop at a Chicago hotel this Sat.

IIABSDISEI with temps near 70 again. Busy night last night. Took blades off mowers so they could get sharpened and started draining oil out of them. I got license plate tags for another year (very short visit at BMV). Did weights and soccer juggling at YMCA. Did some Second Life and watched bits and pieces of "Dancing with the Stars". The lady who was jilted on the "Bacherlor" was a last minute replacement on DTWS, but omg has she got some dance moves. As Keith Jackson used to say, "Oh my mercy!" I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast this morning before sending it to "Points East". IHEHAGD.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
ChiefEagles rtraincollector LawsonFarmsRR rtraincollector only took one of you slow rebs 2 days to see it and it means the yanks have taken over and it means no Grits or Sweet Ice tea RT - I am flabbergasted. Don't know what to say. Obviously you have been brain washed by the Yanks. You are in SC, one of us. We will rescue you. Hang in there buddy. We are on our way! No Grits and Sweet Ice Tea can not be tolerated. Chief - need your help. Patrick Don't count on the chief as I hear thru the grape line he keeps sneaking into yank territory not to spy but to become yankeeized You did notice he lives in NORTH CAROLINA didn't you? got to keep them wondering guys Think he has chest pains now, wait unitl I get through with him. And the one in Florida is not too far way either. The long arm of the REB army can reach him too. Patrick, don't worry, something will get their "goat" in a few months. Yankee skalawags. Those that moved South are still CARPETBAGGERS. Only thing is, the Princess is becoming a Southern Bell and not a Yank. Look again big mouths. Bob Keller, I'm calling Bergie on you. Town Board is over and I'm heading home.

Oh and if your talking about changing the name to #4 we caught that within hours and commented about that.
thanks for the suport guys and yes mitch the hat would be correct but as I said send it to the chief since hes running north all the time to be YANKEEIZED
Maybe Laz was on one of his runs and his bear came out of hibernation with the warmer weather and gave chase. The two of them are probably sitting in a bar somewhere sucking down some Ole Mils and celebrating St. Patrick's Day. The bear may have Laz convinced that it was the bears that drove the snakes out of Ireland.
Where has Laz been?
RT.. Can I send you one of these?:

Where is the Tardis? it's late
Oh yeah, congrats on 1000 RICH and Jim!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
lionroar88Fife and OleTimer - What gauls me is they build these HUGE homes right up on the highway and then complain about the noise and demand noise barriers (unsightly concrete walls) be built to reduce the noise... umm... HELLO IT IS CALLED A HIGHWAY!!!!!!!! That's like building your house next to a railroad and complaining about trains passing by... ummm.... oh yeah my wife did that
Brent....Did you know that now if you modify a highway such that it can carry more traffic and relieve congestion, the homeowners use this to get noise barriers. In other words, if you change out the shoulder to a buses only lane, the existing lanes can carry more traffic and that equals noise walls.

RT -
You were right, it took them days to notice! You ROCK man!
Rich, too funny! Watch your daughter
2 Add-on cars for the JB arrived today. Sir James 1 and Charlie say I should run them and not save them to sell "someday" - I think I shall do so!
Brent! Happy Brent Day! Sounds like you got some good stuff, hope that city comes along nicely!
Tardis is ready - we can go back if you want! I did not wear any green today, but couldn't get any of the ladies at work to pinch me! Darn, well, it seemed like a good plan a the time
As a Yank...hats off RT :)
BTW: filed an abuse report.

dwiemer Brutus, fire her up! Happy Birthday Brent! Happy St. Patrick's Day Y'All! Brutus and Charlie, nice looking trains, look forward to more come SPF. Regarding protecting our daughters, I think we worry because we know how we thought and what we did when we were that age....revenge. Wife had told me over the phone that she was going to take the kids to the store so she could buy the son a new pair of sneakers. When I got home, they had gone and bought all these clothes and accessories for the cruise....but honey, I have to save money for York....She don't care We had the new guy do two cases under our supervision today. He did fine, but will need to get used to the routines. I am looking forward to this guy taking some call. Brent, from what I know about image stabilized lenses, you are better off with regular lenses, or having IS turned off when using a tripod. When hand holding, the IS is much better. I plan on keeping all my lenses. God Bless,Dennis
