Hi GUYZ,
Seems like OHIO controls DA WAETHER? WOW only 3 clicks, hey wait a minute thats ME?
DENNIS in the 26 years of teaching shop class, had two fires. One caused by table saw, wire shorted out because of the torque when saw is turned on and the other by a belt sander, rubbing against gaurd. Both times been there with fire extingusher. Got r done but stinky and had to re wire motors. What a mess.
Stay frosty,

Back from Town Hall meeting. Senator is old buddy so we chated a lot. Cold outside. Debating on going to lake house after meetings tomorrow afternoon. Now they say we might get a "dusting" of snohio tomorrow evening. Actually forecasters say more to the south of us than here and at the lake in VA. Popcorn time.

Good night and may God bless
Jim
Laz .... if you get it you're gonna love that shay !!
Setup the voice chat tonight with Brutus and CNW ... way cool man ... no typing !
Got busy and almost forgot the coffee pot! Poor Dennis! Thanks for all that advice, got a huge list of things and all yours were on there, Dennis
Di is doing great now, she's all healed up, thanks for the prayers guys. Charlene was told by Dr. P today (he's the head of the department) that she will come home tomorrow. I'll go over about 1PM and wait around until they release her sometime after her lunch time. I hope we beat the rush hour!
Tardis is ready, let's go guys! Got the jet snow melter thingie attached and warmed up!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Repeat for affect.
Another night on the hill. We are open for observing but may have to close due to frost.
Heliograph Peak from the west side on the way up yesterday.
Stopped at the meadow for a few photos while standing on the truck. Yup, that's more coming down.
One of the switchbacks on the access road as I was arriving just after dusk.
Spending the night painting color bands on tools. We color code them by floor. This is of course in addition to keeping the gears spinning on the place.
Ray - glad to hear the surgery went well.
Chief - be careful w/ them docks. But being an Admiral this is not a surprising activity for you.
NavyJack - thanks for the info on the 2025. I've located a replacement smoke unit, but as yet need to purchase it. She sure is a beauty. Should be rolling into the Mt. Graham Boiler Shop this weekend.
The acquisition of Corvair parts has begun. They are starting the work on the heads at LS Covair Parts in CA.
Stay warm out there.

Bob,
Sent you a PM.
Brutus,
That is great news.
Jim,
Before I got my 332, I had a soft spot for 312s. The 332 is definitely my favorite now. Mine is resting on a shelf until Christmas. Don't want to put too many miles on it.
dwiemer Jack, glad you got back to the "list" so that I can respond to all the other posts I wanted to. Enjoy the "Cliff Notes" that remind me. Regarding hair dying....remember Phillis Diller at the celebrity roast of Lucile Ball? "Lucy wanted to dye her hair back to it's original color...but forgot what it was!" Regarding all the medications from different doctors, the best policy is to have a good internal medicine doctor that you do your yearly visits to. Keep him/her updated with all the other procedures and prescribed medicines that you are on. In fact, make a list for any doctor that you see. Some medications have negative side affects when combined with some other meds. Most physicians are familiar with the other doctors in the local area and if you have a main doctor that you see, he/she can coordinate your care with the other doctors (ie a cardiologist). Well, we are under a "snow watch". Can't believe it. They have actually shut all the schools and the local air port on the chance that it may snow in the morning. Chief, I think Jack has found a way to push it back down this way. Call out the cavalry! We have to fend off this attack! Gotta run, but hope to check back. God Bless,Dennis

Dennis.....thanks for the meds heads up. These folks have these pill organizers. I swear they take 30 pills a day, don't know what they are, don't know the strength, don't know what they are for or why they are taking them. I can see where there is drug interaction data and adverse effects warnings between some combos, but what is the adverse reaction when you are taking a combo of a half dozen different ones? Do they know that?
Chief apparently forgot to read the targeting instructions for his Yankee Snowblaster 6000, and you are paying the price.
Jack.
IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Morning everyone. Got up to check the news web site to see if our son's school is cancelled. Seems every one of the area schools is closed except the two main private schools and my son's is one of them. I will drop him off on the way in as I have the second heart to do and should arrive in plenty of time.
Jack, regarding drug interactions when multiples are taken, mostly anecdotal. I have not seen warnings of drug interactions on more than one other drug listed, but have seen it in practice. Mostly, it is the side affects of one drug that cause issues with something else you are trying to correct. An example would be taking certain diuretics that will lower blood pressure given to someone who already takes a blood pressure medication. Then, given some nitrates for keeping vessels from spasm will bring the blood pressure to dangerous levels. One reason folks need a "Captain of the ship" to keep track of what medications are given with what. Lastly, many folks here about this herb or that one and think for themselves that it would help. Some medicines are derived from herbs and can have similar drug interactions, so you should check with your doctor before taking them. We have actually cancelled surgery because of finding out about things people are taking "on the side".
Bob, thanks for helping the snowhio targeting team With regard to your photos, I have been in such snow when hunting in Colorado. Was out there when the new Denver Airport was opening. They boasted about all the steps they had taken to stay open even in the worst of storms....we got 52 inches of snow in one storm and that gave them a little lesson. Real pretty stuff...when you don't have to drive in it, or you are not in a tent! Those mountain roads can be quite interesting in such.
God Bless,Dennis
Buckeye & Chuck....
The weather guys are calling for 1" of snow here....THANK YOU!!!!!!
You have made me and my daughter happy!!!!!
I am the monster in your head...And I thought you'd learn by now, It seems you haven't yet.I am the venom in your skin --- Breaking Benjamin
AAAGGGGGGG there calling for 2-5 inches of shohio here and most here don't know how to drive in it they only know go like a bat out of well. not looking forward to all this. hope there wrong as they have been in the past.
Morning all.
Buckeye chief was to get the 2-5 inches and I was to get the dusting.
Hope all have agood weekend and don't forget the other half on sunday sweet-hearts day or she may forget you

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cloudy 18 degrees. Going up to 27 today with NO snow. The snow is going South for the winter.
Today is busy. I have my physical therapy this afternoon. I have to do some warm up exercises at home to loosen up. They hurt. But, they are good for me. So they tell me. No train time today.
Dining car has rolled in with the usual for breakfast.
Buckeye...TGIF
Y'all have a great Friday.
Chuck
RT, same here. They have two driving modes...all out and stop. I think two reasons they are cancelling all the public schools today are that they will use this as a furlough day and also because there is no snow removal equipment. Hope all the streets are clear and that all the parents don't take this opportunity to head out shopping.
Dennis
TGIF.................Finally.
Warning, Warning!!!!!
This is a Buckeye Alert.
Remember this Sunday, February 14th is Valentines Day. Don't blame me when you screw up and you are meat. And a new Choo-Choo isn't going to work again this year.

Gotta 2hr delay!!!! Already took dog for walk and ran a easy mile on treadmill. Now for shower. Gotta get back in the swing with the kidos.
BUCKEYE,TGIF!!! Thanks for the RED ALERT!!!
BOB, beautiful scenery and great looking sno hi o!!!
Hope all stay frosty,
Aloha all. Cold and clear here. No snow on the horizon. Bride will be super-annoyed if it snows in FL. She's already froze through this week down there. Ah well, better than 7 degrees. May take the youngest to Cabellas today. Has an institute day off. Never mind, Navyjack, I'll try again later in your day. Good chat with Brutus, Sir J and Ole TImer last eve too. I seem to work more from home than in the office -what's wrong with that?!

Good morning all,
It is FOGGY in SE Indiana. At least I did not have to drive today. Spent some time in Second Life last night. Dennis, interesting approach to Snohio down your way. It will be interesting to see how well the "Princess" does against semi-real competition this Saturday. All the time they spent flapping their jaws about her when most of the time she was the second best female driver out there. Alli Owens ran 3rd most of the time she was out there, and they hardly mentioned her (maybe she needs to do a SI shoot???). Hmmmmm.... I had bacon and biscuits on the dining car for breakfast from "Points East" this morning. TBIL any time after "Numb3rs". Brutus, that is great news about the wife!!!! I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Morning all. Was cold but warming. Sun is out but they say snohio b y 5 PM. About an inch on grass but could have more. More south of us than here. Coast will get snow in places they normall do not get it. Rich, Oriental will get snow. We are going north to lake house this afternoon after I finish meetings. We probably will not get snow there which is the reverse of normal. Now they are saying we might get a dusting Monday. It is so nice of you Yanks to share your misery. Got to get ready for meeting. Later.
PS: Mike C, I had stuffed country sausage biscuits with mustard.
Good morning
Cloudy and 20s, no new snow.
A chat with the guys last nite but they are starting to use new fangled stuff like cameras and things, I may have to drop out and just visit from time to time. Oatmeal and 1/2 a bagle this morning, I miss my eggs and taters but we all have to sacrifice now and then I guess.
Happy Friday....S.J.

SJ ... No way buddy .... don't think that way .... it ain't the chat without you !!!
Well if they are talking instead of writing I will be missing most of whats going on. Not much fun in that. I'm catching up thou, someday soon I will buy a color TV.
Good Mornin' Ya'll,
Brutus.....the news just keeps getting better. Homeward bound. A little traffic jam on the way home will roll right off your back. Prayers continue for Char and Di and the entire TEAM BRUTUS. Chewy too.
SJ.......the positive test results on your wife were uplifting. Prayers continue for more good news. Thanks for the heads up on your train pics....I have to go find them.
RT.....re knucklehead drivers in the snow. I was going to send you local news videoclips but there were too many choices. Figured you need to specify make, year, and color of vehicle you are interested in, as well as sheared telephone pole with electric power or without.
DougM.....wouldn't want to be you, can just picture your wife's disappointment and frustration standing by a palm tree in the snow. Just keep telling her how comparitively frigid it is outside in Chi-town and how lucky she is to be South of the Mason Dixon line.
Dennis......excellent stuff on the prescription drugs. A family "Captain." The PCP gatekeeper. Caution with added in OTC stuff. Now if we can just get our relatives in need of some help to just take the stuff when they are supposed to.
JimmyT......332 shelved until Christmas? That's like leaving a Ferrari in the garage. I couldn't do it. Neither could JimSP with his, I suspect. Duelling 332s on SPF this Sunday?
Bob.....keep those beautiful nature photos coming. I always felt that if you can't find the natural beauty you seek here in the US, it doesn't exist. I may be a bit biased.
Chief.....was thinking about your comment about wearing a bullet proof vest. Serious stuff. Private Rock entering his Doberman into protection work and will be applying for a spot on your personal security staff. What's the pay? Magnum PI set up at Eagles' Nest.
Snow in Dallas, the bayou, GA., and FLA!?! Must mean school closings and postponement of some wet t-shirt contests. Re the snowfall amounts......think we are still aound 30" for the season toward an annual average of 42". Season record for Boston (measured @ Logan Airport) 1996-1997 @ 107" but I got 125" here, 20 miles North with an end-of-the-season-dagger April Fools Day storm of about 20" that year. Not Vermont or Buffalo levels. Spring is 36 days off. Gaining 2 minutes of daylight per day. Pass the ibuprofen and frosties, we can make it.
Navyjack......don't shoot your opinionated health care worker (on non-medical matters) until after the hole is dug and medical services have been rendered.
Laz.....had the new wheels all gassed up and ready to go but realized the gas mileage on this AWD thing is not great but as predicted. Need to borrow Chief's executve aircraft or his credit card. Ford Tri-Motor is it?
Later, gang. Prayers for those in need whom I missed today.
Jack
Interesting day so far - son got up and said his throat hurt so bad and he couldn't breathe. I think it's sinus drainage, but he insisted it was strep. Throat wasn't swollen and no visible problems in the mouth, but better safe than sorry, so I called the school and will take him to the doctor. Now, he's fine - watching cartoons and cracking himself up. If he's not sick, I'll kick his rear end. Meanwhile, we talked with my wife's doctor and he said if our son is sick he has to wear a mask and have no contact until he is better. Geez, this kid better be faking. I know his GF wanted to go to a valentine's dance tonight, so I'm hoping this is just him weazeling out of that.... I'll keep you guys updated.
Jim - we'll cool it on the video and stuff, need to keep the chat group going dude.
Well, need to trim chewy's nails and get some lunch before the doctor appointment, so TTFN!
Jack thanks for the kind words, I think it eased her mind a bit. We still have to deal with the problem though.
A ford tri-motor was the first plane I ever flew in. no I'm not that old, an airport in Sandusky Oh. used them to fly out to islands in lake Erie. It seemed like they would never leave the ground, always had the feeling a push pole would help..LOL
sir james I Good morning Cloudy and 20s, no new snow.
