Good evening
Wow what a great day,so many windbags in the south the southern breeze took us to the low 70s. I even went out for my walk today. I think that it was so nice I could have seen a box of instant grits and not flinched.
Patrick something in my breakfast was green but I can't remember if it was the eggs or the bacon :).
Maybe when Brutus gets here with the thingy we can go back and do today over. Banilla is ready so come on in....S.J.

Happy St, Paddy's Day to all and Happy Birthday Brent.
Had a pretty good day at work, although we have had lots of mischief. Nothing very serious but still too many discipline situations.
Made homemade pot pie for dinner on Sunday. Not as good as my Mom's but still pretty fair for a first effort. Had left overs for dinner. Tomorrow is a late night. Job Fair so I will be busy interviewing new teacher candidates from about 4:00 until 7:30 or so.
Friday night is a PTA event, Saturday is birthday dinner/celebration for Mom and BIL so it will be a busy weekend. Next weekend is a faculty bus trip to NYC, should be fun.
Last Saturday, just by accident I found a new train shop in Smithsburg, MD, J & B Trains. Smithsburg is just a little bit north of I-70 near Hagerstown. We were looking for a place to get some lunch. We found great little restaurant, on week days it is a diner that closes at about 2:00 PM, and then on weekends, they re-open about 4:00 pm and it is rib joint. Didn't go back to get any ribs but might have to go back there and check them out. Nice train shop, pretty good variety and owner was very personable.
Well, I am going to close for now.
Have a great day.

Did some painting today on the Grainery, and yardwork. Played basketball with the girls, and played in the sandbox. We were searching for burried treasure! Yaaarr!

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

Thanks for the s fellas.Buckeye - I'm hoping we win the NIT... wasn't thinking we would get into the Big Dance, and kinda glad we didn't. IMHO we really need a couple big inside guys before we can get in...Fife 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
njalb1 - You do have a way with pictures. I echo laz57 KEEP UM COMIN.
Chief - Can I assume the change in title of Pot #5 "is a GRITS and Sweet Ice Tea Free Zone" means there is no charge for these items? Or maybe the Yanks have taken over.
Congratulations Rich On 1,000 Posts
AND
Jim Duda ON 1,000 - 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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
Have a Happy PATRICK day !

Back from Dr. Fife, got more than pinched at my physical. Well, at least it was a female Dr. I think all Irish named O'Hare should be bannished. I think they were the worthless clan that could not make it.
Ole Timer - No. I believe it. And by the time they finish widening 70 thru Frederick, gonna be time to widen it again...
Fifedog ... yea they've got dozens upon dozens of those overpriced huge mansions built here they can't sell . What burns me is now the ones who overbought are getting severly reduced deals on payments for them . NOT FAIR .... we who invested wisely are going to pay through higher taxes for years to pay for them ! Don't feel lonely on not getting a new engine .... I've been bidding like crazy and watching folks pay overblown prices for engines everyday .... amazes me ... of course I would'nt want their plastic bill ... LOL . My wife works for citicorp and says all they keep doing is running them up = credit cards = and redoing their accounts to try to pay mega huge bills . You would'nt believe what some pay every month on them !
HAPPY ST. PADDYS Guys!!!!

We have a sunny chilly morning, but going into the 60s today..An excellent day for the middle of March in Mich. I'm not sure what today will bring but I am ready. The boyz kept me up past bed time last nite as we had a chat line going with RT,Brutus, Charlie,Doug tried but was not from home so couldn't get in. Breakfast was eggs, bacon,hash browns and toast. That should last till noon. I stopped at White Castle yesterday and was suprised to see that the 12 cent hamburger was now 67 cents.Wow. Enjoy your day, drink but don't drive,...S.J.
Happy Birthday, Brent How does it feel to be the ripe old age of 22? BTW, have fun at the NIT.

Happy Birthday, Brent
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Today, I will be doing a few projects around the house. I plan on spending some quality time outside, later this afternoon.
Dining car was here and we had the usual for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Tuesday.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Congrats to anjdevil on 1000! It seems like only yesterday I was rating you as one of the top 12 instigators on the Coffe Pot. I'm wellin' up now. Scuse me.
BRENT:
Nice John Bull Brutus, Nice Engine Charlie!!
I have FINALLY joined the ranks of Legacy owners, I got the last one from the LTS at a discount, and so far, it's pretty neat!!
I wore green today, only for my Grandmom. She always loved to dress up in Green for the senior citizens party and went to far as to dye her hair green one year. Took hope the prize for most green worn that year. This ones for you Grandma!!
I see that I have gone over 1000 POSTS!!!! WOW!! Never thought I'd get this far. I'll post a celebratory post later in the week....
A warm and cloudy Saint Paddy's day today with showers possible up to 73. I'll take it.
Hope you all have a great day!!
88 - Yes.
laz - Ol Mil come in green?
Ole Timer - Always love seeing those McMansions springin' up right beside I-70. Nuts.
Chief - You should avoid being pinched at your age. Those bruises could last for months.

Top O' da Mornin' to yuz boys. Happy St Patty's Day. Damp and 41 here in the green hills of the Mid-Atlantic region. Everyone's getting new engines but me. Gotta work OT tonight for those who revel too hardy. Maybe a donnybrook or two, or tree.
All this talk o' keepin' the lasses safe from evil suitors wid' ill intentions. Nothing a cement pill box and some razor wire in the front of the dwelling can't fix.
Brutus - MAybe the only 3 rail engine that actually looks at home on o-27....and it's green!
MichRR - Nice engine. Would be better green.
