Thank you Lord. Prayers answered. Now send it east and south some [to catch Ohizo, PA, then Maryland and then straight up the east coast to MA.
Found excellent used JD mower at dealership for Oldest. Been garaged and low hours. Guy had just traded it for a newer model. They will put in new battery and completely service before I pick it up. Told Oldest Daughter I would get her a pink JD hat for her to wear while mowing.
Waiting for Wifey to come home. Have coupon for Texas Steakhouse that has to be used. Maybe she will go out to eat. ?????
Chat later.

LawsonFarmsRR anjdevil2 Wife wants me to catalog all my train stuff – oh, yeah, right, sure, I have what oh, 2 or 3 days to do that? Might not happen anytime soon. Oh,oh. What does that mean? I don't know your wife, but if my wife asked me that I would start to wander: Is she trying to find out how much I spend on this hobby? Deliveries are made directly to the train building.All Deliveries go through the garage Is she wandering if her spending is keeping up with mine? Although she has more to spend than I do.My Money – her Money an ne’r the twain shall meet. Is she gathering ammo for a divorce? Doubtful after 50+ years.She tried that once, asked me to take her back....and I did. That was 5 Years ago. Are the kids bugging her about their inheritance? If all goes according to our plan they will get less than half of what they are expecting. Still way to much.The older one does not much care and the Princess does not want me dead. I wander, would this subject make a good separate forum thread?I say, why not? Pat

It is a good day, even with all the rain. Got work done and then all the sales reps start paging me and trying to occupy my time when I had some working out to do. Got all that taken care of. Have some work to take care of to finish tax information. Would be a lot easier if all the companies would send tax information in a timely fashion. Got our World Vision donations information today. It is alright in that I already know how much we donate per month, but if we didn't, or if I had already sent off taxes without this information, well, that is another chunk out of the pie that would be missing.
The local news is about the new nuclear power plant that they will be building near us. While I do believe in it, it will mean fewer coal trains to the area. Today, when I went through the yard, they had a large number of tank cars that they were assembling. On the new yard lead that was recently installed, they had a substantial number of hoppers filled with peanuts.
Wife came in from a walk around the property yesterday telling me there is a leak at the well. I head over there and find a 1.5" valve that was spewing water. Probably from freezing. Will stop off at the Home Depot to get some replacement and fix that later on. Wife also wants to paint the den, so I guess we will pick some paint up while there.

Happy Monday!
Train show was a success, did pretty good. Still more to be sold, the BIG piece (the Swing Bridge) is GONE! Had a good time with the princess. Did honey do’s and grocery shopping with said princess. Weather was really nice all the way up to NOW and it is pouring rain and windy. In the 60’s.

Fighting a minor cold... more zinc, more zinc!!!!!
Saw that accident from Melbourne, tradgic for sure.
That’s all the news for now....work beckons again...
for us and our families!!
you are right submmbob, the sub i saw was the triton, it was in the mothball fleet in san diego around 1967. i was wrong about when it was made. i thought it was number 2 but it was three i guess. a submariner knows his subs. yeah it was very long and it was different looking than the nautilus. did you know that the greyback and the growler(regulus missle firing subs) were based on german technology. the germans were planning on using a similar sub on us. we did not get the amount of snow forcast, only about three inches. am counting the days to get my williams e-7(acl) of course. take care guys. navyjack
Doug ... you keep pokeing that gateman and he's gonna start pokeing back ... lol .
SJ sorry to hear about the snow there ... I know you hate it as much as I do . Everybody here takes over all the TV's watching the olympics ... I've seen just about enough though .... glad I've got the train work to do . Indenting some wood barrels with the scalpel to give the individual board look on the sides .... and top .... that's about it for today . Be careful out there all you folks with snow ....

Aloha all. Watched the race. Then went to a special worship night at church. Nice to see the generations mix a bit. Got up at 0-dark-30 to shovel snow. Not as much as I expected. Sure enough, just as I was hanging up the shovel, the plow came by and filled in the bottom of the driveway again. Had to laugh. Definitely heart-attack snow. Heavy and wet. Wasn't too bad coming into work. Poked around a bit more with the 45 Gateman last night too.

Good morning all,
It is rainy in SE Indiana with temps in the 30s. I was able to rest on the way into work this morning. One of the benefits of carpooling. Did get a floor lamp put together for the wife last night. Been doing some more building with bricks. Another step closer to new job, might be able to put application in today. Hoping and praying. Not much else going on. Brutus, thanks for the software tip. I will run a scan tonight. Good thing I could drive the Tardis last nght. Nice easy run. I had a little extra on the dining car for breakfast as it arrived from "Points East" as apparently not all the donuts were gone. TBIL anytime tonight. I hope everyone has a good day. Oh, btw, big surprise on the 48 car winning yesterday.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Morning all,
God has given us another day and another oppertunity to do good for others and for the Glory of God.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cloudy 37 degrees. Going up to 42 today with rain or snow later. It will probably be rain. Lots of snow to melt yet.
Today is a busy day. I have some chores to do and PT, later, this afternoon. Ran trains for a few hours, yesterday. Got a lot of track cleaned. It needed it. Good Nascar race.
Dining car is here and it's the usual for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Monday.
Chuck
Good Mornin', Ya'll, From Dark But Clear Taxachusetts,
Starting tomorrow the weather here is going to be "unsettled" through the weekend......snow and rain daily. So glad I washed the wife's car so thoroughly, including wheels, door jams, etc. so the fresh road treatment chemicals will show up nicely.
Dennis......re the FLA fatalities with kids getting hit by trains.....as a very young kid we played on the RR tracks all the time, flattening pennies on the rails. Heard them coming from way off. This one in FLA is tragic, is hard to figure . We have the commuter rail running through our city and have lost 4 kids since we moved here, in separate incidents. Three were HS teens cutting through the RR right of way and walking down th tracks, back to trains, with headphones on, didn't hear them coming. The fourth was a little guy riding his bike to school with his mom and brother trailing on bikes! Rode around the gate crossing.
Near miises more frequentl . One woman took a right turn onto the RR tracks, car got hung up, then sat there in the car screaming until someone slapped her silly and dragged her from the car just in time, splat. MAACO wasn't in the cards for that one. Another woman got caught in between gates after she stopped in traffic on the tracks, also had to be pulled from the car right before the splat......never figured she could just drive her 4000 pound vehicle through the down gate or walk away from the car. We also had an adult fatality at the commuter rail station......guy walks around a train stopped at the station and hadn't figured on a train coming from the opposite direction, splat, his view screened by the stopped train. He didn't get to work that day....Many more incidents of cars getting clipped after driving around the crossing 7 at grade crossing gates here. Folks just don't seem to understand the dangers.
Brutus......thanks for the info on the worm. Don't feel bad about the hole in the wall. I had a most unproductive day trying to fix under the cabinet lighting. After process of elimination, it was the step down transformer, not replaceable. Wife wanted these badly, individual round lights versus the light bars. Hiding the wires was a nightmare during installation. She'll get the light bar this time. Re Chewy's special treat, our dogs have no preference, bacon or sausage.
Chief.....we Yanks are tough up here. We don't wimp out and wait for shirtsleeve weather to fire up the grill. No matter what, we grill year round.
22 year old girl who got struck in a hit and run down in Brooklyn yesterday lives 6 miles from here. Life support. Not good. Her parents must be besides themselves. Suspect at large.
Hudson 685.....sounds like you replaced half the truck! Son owes you big time.
Navyjack.....keep it holstered. Get a dog!
LAZ.....another snow delay/school cancellation? You'll be teaching into July to complete the school year.
Later, gang

Morning all. Getting ready to head out to the hospital. Going to hit the gym there before the OR. As I type this, the rain drops are starting to hit the chimney flew. Well, better rain than snow! Chief, I think you got it for SS, but I am affraid I will be out of luck.
Saw where the US hockey team beat the Canadians, good news and perhaps more folks will watch it. We rarely watch TV, except Science Channel, Cartoons, History/Military channels. No news, no movies.
Hope everyone has a great day.Dennis
Good night all. Watched movies and checked pond twice. Cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on grill. Had a lazy day. All have a great week. Buckeye, keep the SS payments coming [BTW: it is electroniclly deposited so no US Mail]. Sleep tight.
Charlie .... take those meds and get better buddy .... you're starting to worry me .
Just got off the chat ..... everybody bailed out in parachutes .... expected possible 7 - 12" snow storm is now going to be rain ..... .... in the 40's tonight and going to stay that way for 5 days or more . Won 3 new train cars ... 2 atlas ones ...3 rail ... extreme detailing on the bottoms ... may look at atlas cars more ... always bypassed them ....
Buckeye Riveter Laz.....I'm relieved to learn that the math makes more sense. If you cry a little in a class like that you should get an A+ or be named Magna Summa Deloggy.

Evening all
Just got in about 8:30 been going since 7this morning. After services we (the folks joining the Church) went to Columbus for the rite of election, where all of the folks from around the dioces who are joing the Church this Easter formally begin the last leg to acceptance into the Church. Really neat service, but made for a long day by the time we got home.
I am going to relax with my bride for a while.
Good night and may God bless
navyjackbuckeye...do you live anywhere near the ohio river?
The Ohio River is two hours south or two hours east. Take your pick. South on US 23 or East on I-70.
Chief....I'm programmed to get up early and go to work so that you continue to receive that SS Check. When I stop working, the U.S. Mail is not going to be able to find Roseyville.

Well the snow is coming right at us. Looks like a long day tomorrow.
Guess I'll just hang around here till the thingy arrives, while I'm waiting with the banilla, I'll have a tin roof....S.J.
Just advice guys - if you get a popup that says you need to run some virus software from a webpage, just close down your computer - don't hit any buttons on the popup including the red X button to close that window. I was reading about some worm that is out there the other day and in the past 3 days I've had two different websites try to attack me. F-Secure and Microsoft say my system is clean, so that's good. Apparently if you click anywhere on that window or probably on the infected webpage, you are launching the actual virus on your system. One of the sites was a newspaper in Alabama and the other was a site about modeling with polystyrene - was "browsing" to it on google. I also read that someone in China, apparently a college over there, has been attacking Google and a few other sites big time.
Screwed up putting up a bracket in the bathroom - though I hit the flange behind the drywall at the edge of the shower, so tried to drill it out for a toggle bolt. After a minute I realized I was drilling wood! Dang - could have used long screws and got it that way. Now, I'll have to fill the hole - I guess with plaster, and then run some really long screws; or - move both brackets up a couple inches. Learned my lesson I guess.
Then, I uncovered my layout in the basement and gave my GP9 a run with the Hogwarts passenger cars. Cranked it up and then realized I needed to hit direction - zoom! Luckily, I hit the panic button! No damage was done, but I did derail a couple of the passenger cars.
After that, all I did was cook dinner, lol! Just one of those days I guess!
Tardis will be ready, but someone else better drive tonight for saftey sake!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good evening everyone. Been busy with church and family activities all day. Had a lot of fun with the kids riding bikes and drawing with chalk on the driveway. Had a fantastic speaker at church today. He has been very active with Disney for 30 years. He also consulted with us regarding movie business. About ready to head to bed. Early morning tomorrow, so I need some rest.
One sad note that I read as logging on tonight:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100221/ap_on_re_us/us_train_hits_pedestrians
Hard to understand, but my heart goes out to all involved, the parents, the engineer/fireman, and the rest affected.
May God Bless each of you and your families.Dennis
PS: Chief, not sure about April York as we will be filming. I will have to check the schedule. May have to try for October? I will let you know. was a great time last year
Good afternoon all,
It is milder in SE Indiana with temps in the 40s. Snohio is disappearing for now. Went to Mass and the YMCA today. Did little else. Had donuts on the dining car before sending it on to "Points East". TBIL anytime. I hope everyone has a good day.
Buckeye Riveter laz 57Day two of teacher class, not to bad yesterday. Then I have another on March 6 and then another on the 20th. Oh well I get 200 bucks and more importantly 30 hrs of professional development time. This new math stuff taught in the high schools has me confused. Laz spends two days at a teacher seminar on a weekend probably learning how to pound nails and saw some lumber. Assuming he is there 8 hours each day, 8 x 2 = 16, but he gets 30 hrs of pd time. Maybe since it is the weekend, he gets time and one-half or 8 x 2 = 16 x 1 1/2 = 24 hrs of pd, but that doesn't equal 30 either. BTW, your $200 could buy me a nice belated BD gift.

BUCKEYE,
I gotta go back on March 6th and March 20th for two more sessions of 9 to 4 and also have to do these 30 minute surveys on line about all the good stuff we talked about. Me and another guy are the only males in the class along with 16 females. Lucky us? I wish we were pounding nails and sawing wood. Its about controlling our emotions. We are in a study group from PSU, kinda the gunnie pigs. Not to bad, they even feed us.
I know Seawolf was the second US nuclear sub but wasn't Triton the really big one? Triton was in Norfolk until 93 and Puget Sound until recycled in 07.Watching the race and poking around with my 45 gateman...

hello gang, wife got home from church, and she is a eucharistic minister, gave me communion and then she proceeded to make me a good breakfast with whole hog, eggs, tomatoes. i must have been a good boy. first thing i saw this am in our side yard was a buck guarding three does(one was pregnant) and she was off her feet.. they nibbled on low lying branches of one of our apple trees and left. the buck was angry, like he knew he was being watched, he was pawing the ground. i felt like getting out some iron, but here in illinois we have a law against firing a weapon within 200 feet of another house. well the start of an interesting day.
buckeye...do you live anywhere near the ohio river?
pat... hope you and yours have a peaceful quiet day
sbmmbob...what was the name of the second nuclear sub the u.s. made, after the nautilus? it was real big and i saw it while i was on active duty. it was already decommissioned.
rt...hope that you can enjoy some training today. i used it as a way to cope with stress when i was on active duty
