Joe my son is peanut allergic also.It appears we share something else in common.It can be hard but the kids are worth it.If nothing else it has forced us to eat better.He is also allergic to egg whites but not as severe.HAPPY ANIVERSARY Brutus! Do something nice for the wife.
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 70s. Definitely brisk this A.M. Soccer boys won 4-1 last night, and the one score by the opposition was a PK gift by the center official. I do not know how "my" soccer girls did, but I fear not well. Five ladies racing at Chicago tomorrow night in Indy car with Ana Beatriz and Sarah joining the three regulars. 29 cars in all will be starting. Did the bicycle machine at the YMCA and my Sudoku at the same time. Multi-tasking. I had the regular fare on the dining car for breakfast before sending it on to "Points East". TBIL anytime. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
good morning guys. had a great visit yesterday from two great gentlemen. they brought along a virginian triplex 2-8-8-8-2, from the mth premier program. it was the first time i saw an mth premier steam loco. it looked like a museum piece. it was so detailed i could no believe it. i could never afford one, but am happy for those that can. i am still happy with the locos i have. long story short, the guys suggested a mth layout with a loop and a switch and they deservedly are from a different economic situation. i cant afford what they want to do, although it would be great. (the one fellow has four triplexes and four big boys), AND I AM a postwar, mpc, and williams man, they recomended railrax, which is nice but pricy to display my trains. i am a 1x4 man for shelves, so to sum it up i had a great meeting, but still no way to run trains. all i want is a simple loop with a manual switch that i can run conventional trains on and set up plasticville buildings and portable scenery. oh well. thanks anyway. navyjack

My range of motion and strength have returned to a point where there wasn't anything more they could do. Honestly with the amount of damage I did to the arm I didn't think I would ever get to this point!Should finish the sunroom this weekend. Started clearing it out of tools and materials.TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aloha and TGIF. Off to O-H-I-O tomorrow with the princess. Happy anniversary Brutus - what a year for you both - hope you can celebrate. Emma Peel sure was nice when we landed the Tardis in Beantown instead of um, uh where-ever we were going. Hmmm, these ads are making me consider going to Trainfest up in MILW this year. Glad you're done with PT, Brent. May you never have to go back.

Wow. what a morning. Was on my way to the office, stopped at a red light. Some lady pulls out from Dunkin Donuts and scrapes all the way across the back of my truck. Guy next to her yells at her to tell her she was hitting my truck...she pulls out and flees the scene. I pushed the On-Star button on my truck, got the police on conference. After a short pursuit I urged her to pull over, police showed shortly thereafter and boxed her in.
Do people have any regard for the property of others anymore?
She told me after the cops arrived that her husband was an attorney. I said that's good, your going to need one...

Charlie,
No, most people don't seem to care about anyone else or their property. I know how you feel.
I don't know if you saw my post about a guy in a Blazer backing into me after he didn't look backing out of his spot, but this was the result. He blamed me for him backing into me. He also wanted me to pay for the damage to both vehicles. Needless to say, I'll leave my reply to him out of this post. I ended up pulling the dent myself because I don't trust any shops.
Charlie that could be taken as a threat her statement that her husband is an attorney by chance did one of the cops hear her say it. It know as intimidating 2nd party I believe.
Ask you lawyer as I bet your now going to need one. as they will try what ever to get out of it. Oh back to your question about other peoples property the answer is no in most cases any more
hope all turns out well for you.
No worries RT. PD called me a little while ago. She got nasty with them after I left. They arrested her for leaving the scene of an accident and disorderly conduct.
If her or the hubby tries anything..I'll be ready with a counter-suit.
That's too bad about the probe too, glad you got her fixed Jim!
Some people are just unreal!!
That is why we drive a 16 Yr old car and a 10 Yr old truck. We have plenty of parking lot dents, dings and scrapes. Just waiting for someone to total them and collect from their Ins. In Virginia you have to have Ins. or pay $500.00 plus into an Ins. fund per Yr.

and that don't cover you if you have an accident . thats just what the state charges you to let you drive without insurance.
hows it going pat? want any lionel nascar train cars? Getting rid of most of them as don't really want them now lol trying go for some other type cars now lol
Good Evening From the Jersey Shore:
I want to thank everyone for their kind words, thoughts and prayers for Mary Ellen and her family. You guys are great and it is a pleasure to know you.
One more week to go with the 10 hour days with Friday off. I am going to miss it. This must have been grass cutting day. I cut the grass and trimmed. After that I split and stacked firewood for about 6 hours. I am sure glad that I have a log splitter. I have had this one for 16 years and it is a life saver. A big dent was made in the pile that has to be split. A long way to go.
Charlie, you are right, most people don't care about the other guy. I am glad that she got what she deserved.
SJ, time for the banilla and root beer.
John
Good evening
Another nice day around 80.
I had company over to see the trains and of course there was a pile up.
Coney's with chili and onion tonight, I'll be tasteing it till morning. good though.
Lots of banilla so Brutus come by...S.J.
RT,
I am glad to know that I am not the only one who changes his mind after buying a piece. Come to think of it, that's about 1/4 of my collection.
I've been back on the job hunt this week. I applied online to a position through an employment agency yesterday, and a rep called about 30 minutes later saying that there is a good opening with their client, and that he'd send my resume and get back to me. I've got my fingers crossed.
Earlier this week, I got two more AF 740s (have 4 total now), and I spent an afternoon servicing them. I also serviced the 350 Royal Blue which was getting noisy due to me not lubricating the chasis enough when I stripped it and installed the chasis with the smoke unit.
I have been logged in when I first came on tonight. Started typing a long message in response to several other posts....then, when I hit the "Post" button, it came to a log-on screen. Oh well. Hope to check in later, perhaps then I will respond.
God Bless,Dennis

Sorry to hear about your truck, Charlie - hope they get that all fixed and her insurance pays. Sounds like something weird was going on with her?
Worked, brought my wife a nice card, but no plans tonight as family is coming in. Her sister and our niece will be here this weekend. We'll take them along with us tomorrow night and treat them to a big dinner - maybe steak? We're waiting to see if Char can go back to work soon, so no splurges right now; but, we'll do something when we know where our finances are for sure.
Thanks for all the anniversary wishes and Chief has it right. I almost feel sorry for her sometimes. But, she knew what she was getting when she married me
TARDIS is ready, had to retrieve it from MIT. I guess it was a good joke, but who was driving last night? I remember things getting all upside-downy and woozy for a while after the party really got going! Diana was dancing on the control panel?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Yea I remember Diana dancing in her leather outfit but I don't remember who took us home.
Sorry Charlie. Hit and run is "big time" offence in NC. I'm sure hubby will be a lot nicer. Off to bed. Dennis, happened to me several times in the past week. Sleep tight.
Good evening all,
First post of the day for me. Today was a busy day at work. I was able to leave the office at a reasonable time, but I had to back in this evening because something came up. Fortunately, I had time to have dinner and gelato with the family.
Time for bed,
Joe
It is a foggy 60 degrees. Going up to 84 today with sunshine.
Today is a busy day. I have a project to work on. I want to finish it today. Then, I plan on relaxing. Not much else new, here.
Dining car is here and it's Cheerios for breakfast. Then, it's off to all "Points West".
Y'all have a great Saturday.
Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Sunny & 64 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. S'posed to be very nice this weekend, then get uncomfortably hot for back-to-school this week.
TGIS. F wasn't that great. Charlie, glad your saga had the proper ending. Had a fellow on parole for murder take off on me on a racing mc, then took flight thru 3 jurisdictions. Actually went into our big airport because he knew air support couldn't. But fifedog had tag before the festivities. And when the boys next county over heard the address, they were familiar. Looked like one of those fishing photos, where all the guyz are standing around the big marlin, as I pulled up.
Ahhhh, happy endings.
