Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps heading to the 70s. I did weights at the YMCA only last night and rested the toe the rest of the evening. Could be busy this weekend. Have two games to ref on Saturday and the IRL race on Saturday night to watch. Wehldon was fastest in first practice, the Princess was 2nd, IV was 14th, Sarah 17th and Milka Duno (Milka Duno?????) was 9th quick. To answer the question, the dining car is the kitchen at our houses. Blueberry Hill has a beautiful waitress and I have the "saucy wench" who are actually our lovely wives. This place is sort of like the "Bob and Tom Show" where they say "featuring Bob as Bob and Tom as Tom ----- listen up, you'll catch on" :-) TMWUMNSFGH. I had the regular fare on the dining car for breakfast. Beacon is lit and I can drive. I hope everyone (especially IV and Sarah) has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Morning. Rainy here in Roseyville. That is good as the lawn and garden needed some. Got several tomatoes almost ripe [those that were started early in the greenhouse and had blooms when I transplanted them].
Fifey, now that is a great compliment. I will say that ALL of us make the "Pot". It is the whole gang that has made it so successful.
Trains today as no appointments and raining. Got to get the traveling box car moving. Have a good one.

FIFE, sea legs? Might have to start running in the water? Does it count if its raining?
Mitch -- hang in there man! One of my best friends was the high school principal, after a horrible day he would tell me "I spend 98% of my time with 2% of the kids/parents" -- guess which 2%? Better days are ahead for you, keep the faith.

So many roads, so little time.
laz - Aye carumba! Do you think it will help my sea-legs
HI GYZ,
WOO HOO!!! DONE WITH DA KIDOS!!!!!!!
Yesterday was my last day with the kids. I have in-service today, then here we come summer. The last 2 weeks was up to my eyeballs in work with getting projects done. Got em all done and all the kids were happy. Yesterday was our rewards day, and I gave out my GOLDEN HAMMER AWARD. It is one of the most coveted awards given to middle school kids. What I do is make up some oak plaques,a claw hammer,spray paint it gold, then on our CNC router etch brass plates with their names, year and Golden Hammer Award on it. Its really pretty neat and have been giving them out for the last 25 years.
Monday I start my road running at 0530, getting back it putting down 25-30 miles a week. SO get ready BUCKEYE, FIFE and CHUCK, your legs are gonna be hurting.
BUCKEYE, CONGA on the Grandpaship.
to all the newbie puppies.
to all in need especially BUCKEYEs friend TOM.
Stay frosty,
Good Morning everyone. Sounds like the Chief's been ambushed. Glad all went well.
All ready to go and waiting for the patient to arrive. Was a add on case from yesterday. Hope to get done early and get home.
Will try to get some photos done for SPF. Take care,
Dennis

Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Rain & 58 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. S'posed to clear out of here sometime later. We'll see. Honey-do list sitting on my back like an 800 lb bear, with cubs.
mitchie - I used to think that bridge painting was an occupation that was too dangerous for the pay. I have added elementary school principal to that column.
88 - Got everything crossed still...even wifey!
strogey - Chief is to the Coffee Pot, what Reggie was to the YANKEES. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
RockIsland52 AT YOUR AGE, CHIEF, REMEMBER TO NEVER TAKE A SLEEPING PILL AND A LAXATIVE BEFORE GOING TO RECLINERIZE.
AT YOUR AGE, CHIEF, REMEMBER TO NEVER TAKE A SLEEPING PILL AND A LAXATIVE BEFORE GOING TO RECLINERIZE.
RockIsland - Now you've gone and done it... I read that one and spit coffee all over the new computer. Took me 10 minutes to clean it all up...
BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIEF
CONGRATS BUCKEYE
Prayers to all who need them especially Buckeye's friend Tom and Chief's extended family.
88-Congrats - hope there's some more good news for you and Susie-Q soon
LAZ - When are you done??
Work has been almost unbearable the last few days. I have one situation that is just so difficult to work with. Trying to be patient. Five more days after today.
Got to get going. I hope everyone has a peaceful and relaxing day.
Take care,
Mitch

It was one of 'THOSE' days at the plant today. Late home, wingbackized, helped my wife with her passport renewal forms. Was headed for bed, then remembered that I needed to check the forum today.
Congratulations to the new grandparents.
Happy birthday Chief.
Prayers for those in need.
Train stuff - not much. Going to try negotiating on the MTH GM Aero Train during my weekly visit to the local hobby store in the next day or two.
Noticed one more choice for the weekend - an AMA motorcycle race at the 1/2 mile dirt track in the Fairgrounds.
Later all.
Doug ... DL'd a bunch of them a year ago ... forget where I got that specific one ... have some really funny ones ... not obsene or anything but was afraid to post one ... sometimes lil things get taken wrong by the admins ... got my fingers smacked a few times ... LOL . You know those good old " that has been deleted and you can't respond " emails .
Welcome Strogey! Pull up a chair. We pretend to ride together in a Tardis - it is a sort of space ship from a great British Science Fiction TV show called Doctor Who - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TARDIS - 'beacons' are something we pretend to turn on to get picked up by the Tardis on our evening sojourns. We'll be sure to home in on yours so you can journey along. Off to Roseyville, NC for some celebratin' - come and get us, Brutus!

WHAT? IT'S CHIEF'S B-DAY? I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED IT! WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE REMIND ME?.........OH YEAH, CHIEF DID A FEW DAYS AGO.
HAPPY B-DAY.

IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Happy Birthday Chief! It would appear as if you are a very popular person and a great reference source. AND mostly you are very much appreciated and that is what is important. Hope your day was great! I know by now it has wound down for you folks on the east coast.. Dining car just pulling out here on the westward side of things!
Now some questions/assumptions about some of your "local" terminology! Dining car I finally figured out what you were all referring to. I THINK when you are referring to the Beacons you are talking about your Internet connection signal. Correct? And now the two that have me totally puzzled...Tardous and bannilla!
Well enough for one day. Dogs are barking so better go see whats up.
Good night all!

Good evening all,
A special late night post from the Hoosierland. Happy Birthday, Chief! For once I wanted to be able to post on the day of the actual event. Without your guidance, this slowly growing circle of friends would not exist. Hope you are having a great day!
THANKS GANG. Know how to make a guy feel good. This is a great bunch. Love you all. God bless.
Now God did have a hand in this. He kept you all from sending Buckeye disguised as a belly dancer. Especially at the end of the dance, if he had tried to give me a kiss. UGH, Spit, Spit, Listerine, Lye Soap!!!!!!!
Outstanding surprise.

Guys...need a little help, when is the Chief's Birthday. I seem to have forgotten.
Chief this whole thing started with one little email that said, "June 4th is the Chief's Birthday". We nixed several ideas that we were not in poor enough taste.
Happy Birthday to the Roseyville Rascal.

The first friend I made in this hobby with O gauge was the Chief - he welcomed me here and made me feel at home. The first good advice I recall was from the Chief - on what transformer to get. He also shot me links to long threads comparing different ones and explained what it all meant to me. I thought these things ran on DC - no joke! Too, he explained block wiring to me and did not wonder at my lack of knowledge. Finally, although he did point out to me that I am in fact a Yankee, although from a border state (MO), he did not chew me out for calling him at what I later learned was about 11:30 PM in NC time! And after telling me all about his boat and his boat charger, some Sears tools, and his trains, at about 12:45 AM his time he did ask what I had called about proving that he is not only a gentleman, but also has a better memory that I have because I had completely forgetten!
Prayers for Tom and Chief's friend.
Congrats Buckeye on the newest Buckeye and I know that won't be the only train he gets from Grandad!
Congrats, Rich, on your recertification! Hope you get to go riding soon buddy!
Kurt, glad to hear from you again! Hope all are healed up soon man!
SJ - what can I say? I'm so proud of you! 18 pounds - I think that's like 36 Courics? I hope you didn't hurt yourself.
Wife is feeling fine today, thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
I'll be back later. I know I forgot some comments I intended to make, but there was just so much there! What a great forum - lots of fellowship, good information, good jokes, and great hobby talk!
