That's what he thinks. Packed GRITS up his nose instead of packing.
Chief, wait till he sneezes!...Sorry Buckeye, you don't want to be doing that any time soon. Glad all went well and before long, the pain will subside and you will be a new man. You may have developed a set of black eyes....have some fun with it, tell folks it was not due to the surgery, but a frying pan when the bride found out what the train budget has been this year.
Got windy here yesterday and it is still blowing hard. Rained a good part of the day and finished last night. Hope this dries out soon as the mud is deep. At least I don't need a shovel for snow! We have a gun show in town today and tomorrow, so I will be taking the kids in a few moments. Have some honey dos to tackle and then some layout work to do. One of the guys at the hospital lent me a DVD on layout building. Mostly HO stuff and had Tony Lash's layout as the O-gauge representative. Did pick up some hints with regard to the rubber forms for the rock casting. Perhaps that is what we will do today while the bride is at work.
Fife, glad you got through it OK. When we were in Nashville last weekend, they had images of police cars that had gotten caught up in accidents. Also had a Ambulance that was overturned. From the stories told, it was not their driving capabilities that got them, but others had smacked into them.
Hope everyone stays safe up in the great white north. Chuck, you don't need to be working too hard on the shovelling either! Tis better to use a small coal shovel and take little bites!
God Bless,Dennis

Whooooooa Nellyyyyy, boys!!! Made it home last night just before SHA shutdown operations. I would call the mix we got yesterday SNEET=SNow + slEET. Probably why I was able to get home. Had it been all snow - fahgitaboudit. Thanks for keeping the light on Chief. Now the dog keeps staring at me. I know what he wants...guess he can't hold on til 8pm when this stuff is s'posed to taper off. Good thing I created the FIFEPUP 2000 16 years ago...
Blueberry - SHOOTOUT at 8pm. Qualifying tomorrow at 1. I know you'll be pulling for GO DADDY.
jefelectric - Something quietly showed up on the doorstep.
HI GUYZ,
YES!!!! SNO HI O as far as the eyes can see. Got up and went out to shovel path to shed to get snow blower and then shoveled area for dog. She made some yellow snow. We have at least 16 inches of this beautiful white color on the ground. Gonna attack after it stops hope not til tomorrow.
BUCKEYE, glad all is well with DA SNIFFER. Take it easy today, bet you wish you could dive into that winter wonderland out there. HOW many of those WIMPS left OHIO? LOL!!!!
Stay frosty, GUYZ,

Morning all
Buckeye - Glad you did well. Do what the docs say
Currently it is snowing but there is only about an inch or two on the ground. Once you start going north from here it get deep fast. I am talking about snow.
Check back later
May God bless
Jim
1 3/4 inches of rain from middle of yesterday morning until midnight. Going to check the pond now. Snohio north of us. Might get flurries today. Off to Hardees for a biscuit. Later.

Good morning.......
Jon.......IT SNOWED!!!! Finally we have a good old fashioned Buckeye Winter Snowstorm. We always need one of these each year to cleanse the population of wimps. Most of the departed head for NC because they feel right at home with the majority of the population. The toughest of the tough in Ohio move to places like Buffalo, Northern Michigan or Iowa for the challenge.
Don......The medical team, named Bubba and the Colonel were relieved of their duties and taken to jail just before they sedated me. I was very fortunate that my doctors were all graduates of THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. I did chastise them about their donations to the university and that we need to see a 500 percent increase in their giving to our professional football program this next year.
Chuck.....I have your shovel all warmed up and ready to go. I was really wanting to go out and take photos of the Ohio Central busting through the snow on a day like this. I guess I will try another year.
Thanks guys for all the words of encourgement. I am hurting this morning.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is 32 degrees. About 6 inches of snow on the ground. Still snowing. It looks beautiful thru the bay window. Going up to 34 today with more snow until later.
Today is an easy day. So far. I plan on relaxing and running trains this afternoon. Not much else new.
Buckeye..Hope you are feeling no pain. Don't shovel snow.
Dining car is late. I will watch down the tracks. Probably needs a plow to clear the way. The usual will be for breakfast.
Y'all have a great and warm Saturday.
Chuck
Evening All !
I can relate to all of you with bad weather, we have had nothing but rain all day today! Got 3/4", and more on the way for tomorrow, I think? 20% chance. If it does come another 1/2", maybe.
Brutus, Glad to hear Char is on her way! Long road, but will be worth it!!!! My admiration for you buddy!!
Buckeye, Good to see you made it through the surgery. Especially considering the medical team involved.
Pat, Just finished watching DVD #11, it is really good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. (Cab ride from SE Wisconsin to Union Station in Chicago.
My camera class is fine, boring but about what I expected. Languages are still a bit frustrating, but that's life here anyway. Forgot all the features that are hidden in the camera. Lot to try and master. Looking forward to the Elements section, but that's a few weeks off.
Been working on a dumb intermittent problem on my layout. After 2 days working with the power distribution, found the problem!! A LOOSE ground wire!! And of course the most common problem, and usually one of the most difficult to find.
Going to see about redoing a bridge tomorrow. Going to remove a lift up bridge an repaint, reinforce, rewire, and reinstall.
Looking forward to NEXT Saturday, train show coming up! What makes this special is boh Lionel and MTH will have a booth. That is really unusuall!
Hope everyone has a great weekend, and dont become snow bound.
Don
Looks too good for Buckeye.
Rain has stopped for now. Might get a dusting of snohio in the morning or just some light rain. Everything is flooded. Sumppump is going almost full time. Grady's yard next door is like a river running out of his yard, down the sidewalk and into the street. Bet pond is at flood stage or could have gone over emergency run around. Problem here is ground is already over soaked so nothing can soak in. Springs around the pond are flowing hard across the path.
Good night. [hope Fifey is OK. Jack, keep hoping it will go out to sea. snicker]
Knowing that Buckeye is not really feeling up to rumaging around for his camera we were able to snap a quick pic in between medications.
Surely he will be back to his usual self really soon.

SNOW but not here. Looks like the Ohio/PA front is meeting up with the one coming up the East coast and everything is pushing out to sea. We should just get a dusting. Hope no one gets more than they can handle
Buckeye, take some photos of yourself and post on SPF. We promise not to make fun of you......or no more than normal.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZ time.
Jack.
IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Hi GUYZ,
Went to BARRYs after school and before storm, picked up buddy stuff, that BARRY didn't want to offer anything for. But while there met up with new RR fan and modeler his name is TONY. We had quite a few laughs today. Great day all is good with Da World.
Ran trains for 2,5 hrs NO PROBLEMS!!!!
SF
Buckeye: I glad that it is going well.
Brutus: Hang in. I hope all goes well.

In STL, it rained all night and day and turned to snow this afternoon. They let the kids out of school at about noon, so I took off early. Went to Walmart for supplies, had some pizza and watching some tv shows. Some good family time. Char can't talk, but they are giving her good meds for the pain and she is sleeping alot. Every day is a day closer to being better.
Tardis is ready and I see all kinds of beacons, so better hit the road! TTFN!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Gray day. Snowed most of the day. Luckey it was warm enough that it was melting almost as fast as it was falling - elsewise we would have ended up with 6 or 8 inches instead of 2 or 3.
My son made it home about 8am this morning. Said it started raining in Macon, Ga., rained all the way to St Louis where it turned to snow. Took him about 14 hours from Atlanta.
RockIsland - my wife was snuffing about my last order of bits and pieces for my trains - I think it totaled $18. I just showed her the entry in my check book for this year's property taxes.
Brutus - I was thinking about going to the St Charles train show tomorrow, but with my son home, there is some work we need to get done that involves moving heavy things around the house - strike while the iron is hot, ya know. There is a show in Kansas City the last weekend of the month - out of the way for you, but closer for me.
All for now.
Good evening,
We might have 2" on the ground now, it's been snowing since about 3:00 PM, but very light and slow to accumulate, which is GOOD.
Buckeye, Glad to hear the surgery went well, have a fast and as pain free a recovery as possible.
Snow blower is gassed up and sitting inside the garage door, when the snow stops.
To those living outside the snow fall area, have a great weekend. The rest of us will try to get by.
Good Evening
Overcast all day, very gloomy BUT no rain or snow.
We had our friday out meal and I ran some trains and watched TV. That was my day.
Banilla and root beer for the thingy guys and lets go back to somewhere warm tonite.

Good evening all,
It has been Shohioing all day in SE Indiana. Took a vacation day due to the weather. Wife had to work so I did the housework today. Watching "Numb3rs" tonight. Good job on the surgery, Chief and Dennis! Good conversations on the Tardis as well. We certainly have a lot to talk about, but "What happens on the Tardis, stays on the Tardis". Not much else going on. I had the regular fare on the dining car this morning. TBIL after "Numb3rs" tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Long day with drugs. The pain killers did their job, but my eyes and face are really hurting.
We have about 6-8 inches of snow on the ground. My neighbors have been cleaning the drive. Started at 10 AM and hasn't stopped.
Nothing but rain here. Yards flooded. The Fifey must be on duty as he has not posted. From what I hear, DC and Fifey are getting blizzard conditions.
Talked to Mrs. Buckeye. He is home and doing well [resting] after Dennis and I operated on him.
Later
Buckeye, hope your surgery went well. I had some nose work many years ago for a diviated septum that was causing these migraine like headaches and that cured it. Hope you have good results too.
Doug, that was a very nice number 96 coal loader. I had one of those once but sold it. Mine had the crank too. It is harder to find than the motorized one. I think it was one of the nicest looking accessories that Lionel made.
No heavy rain yet but I'm not complaining. Heard on the news that D.C. is expecting record snow which will go down to Virginia and the Carolinas so bundle up Chief. Whatever happened to global warming?
Later, Ray

PAT !!! Where'd you get that picture of my wife in the morning on a bad hair day ? off to the tardis/chat ..... after food first though ... snow storms make me hungry ...
I got out of work at 3:30. Because of the storm I headed to my mother's house to give her a hand in the morning before heading to work for storm duty at noon to midnight and noon to midnight Sunday. (No life working for an electric and gas company that is short on people when a storm hits).Besides my Mom's house is 10 min. from my reporting location and I live 1hr away and my wife agrees that our 17yr old son and son in law (who lives across the street) should be able to handle our snow removal. My Mom is 81 and a good home cooked meal is a treat. (Hope my wife doesn't see this) As of 7:30 there is no snow in Central Jersey. I am sure that I will have fun with all the nuts on the road tommorrow.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all with illness and personal problems.
Snowing big time in Maryland .... wrecks all over ... scanner goin nutzy . It's packing to ice on the roads here ... idiots out running around .... they never learn .
Just got in from Columbus OH [actually Town retreat] to cold pouring down rain. Sure glad it is not snohio or we would have feet. Some places have already had 2 inches of rain. Flood warning already issured for some creeks and rivers. OH surgery was a success. Buckeye now has his nose where [oh well you know what is ]. Kind of an "up side down" thing.
Chat later.
Chief, No problem on the surgery. If you need it, I have a great text book that we can ask a nurse to hold open for you.Jim, Nice looking locomotive, and great looking grand kids. I value the moments I get to share with our kids. I attend all activities with them that I can. I know you cherish yours too. Children are a blessing from the Lord and should be thought of as such.Jack, Often, words do fall short of our heartfelt feelings. A few thoughts on this. First, sometimes, the best thing to do is sit next to the person and cry with them. When distance is an issue, just let them know that you are praying for them...no distance is out of God's reach. I find that we can never fully understand what someone is going through. Each person deals with things differently and even having been through similar circumstances, the best thing is to pray for God to meet them at their need....He knows the whole story and is best equipped to help. The prayers of a righteous man availeth much.
Well, I found out why they asked me to come in when I was supposed to be off today to do this case. The patient had coded last night and had multiple issues. Was a long case and required the draw of a lot of experience to do. That said, I wish the new guy had stayed along with me on the case to learn a bit from this one. Patient did well and should have a good recovery...if he can get over some of his other issues.
When I had gone in this morning, the temps had gotten into the mid 60s and the wind was blowing hard. That was about 0430. While on bypass, I could see out the windows and it looked like a monsoon. I think this is the same storm that is supposed to bring plenty of snow to the NE. Hope you all get through it without too much trouble.
Wife is working at the hospital tomorrow, so I will be home with the kids. Plan on bringing them to a gun show in town so I can get some ammo. I also want to get a blank firing device for an Uzi to use in the making of the next film. Need to start getting all the items gathered for the start of the shoot.
Hope everyone has a blessed weekend.Dennis
Good afternoon,
Gonna get colder for the big game on sunday down in northwest Miami FL. I am not that interested as no team that I care about made to the playoffs, maybe that is why so little interest in this years big game.
Wife's car broke down yesterda at work, battery terminal was bad, so the battery acted like it was dead. Put on new terminal and charged the battery and it works great so far, no calls about the car.
Got quote from electrician to take down big sodium light on side of the house, over the phone it was $75.00, in person after looking at what it took the price is $150.00 or better. Claims it takes two men to take it down. Guess I need to rent a lift bucket trailer and do the work myself.
Looks like I need to call Marcia Green, this is a woman who jokes about men being slow, her favorite joke is"Why do they have men working signs? Because women don't take as long to work!" Another joke she likes to tell is "What do you call a woman who does the work of three men? Lazy; as she should have done the work of five men." If I keep mentioning stuff from Marcia I my have to watch out for flying trains coming at me. Gotta liven it a little at times, right?
Going over to pest "the Bach Mann!!"
Lee F.
Good Afternoon
We are awaiting the snow. I am going to swing by Lowes and pick up parts for the washer install this weekend. At least cut down on the trips after parts since the weather is to be bad.
Jack- The kids smiles make it all worthwhile. They are special.
Jim – The 332 is missing the jewels and like you I’ll be ordering them soon. As far as the DC compared to AC operation, I have ran my other locos on DC, the ones with the universal motors, and there does not seem to be a difference. A big advantage is no e unit to mess with. Very simple. Juice goes right from the rail to the wire to the jack panel. When I do run things like the cabooses with the operating brakeman, they do not pick up the 60 cycle buzz. Check back later
May God bless Jim
Ole Timer This guy ate grits every day and just look what it did for him !!!!
This guy ate grits every day and just look what it did for him !!!!
Yes, but he looked like this before Grit treatment!
What else are you going to do on a snowy afternoon.
