Good evening everyone. It is nice to see Laz stopping in. Sorry to hear about your best friend Laz. A number of us have experienced such a loss over the last few years. Never easy.
Chief, that is quite a haul of fish you made. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. When I take our son fishing, if some action is not happening every 5-10 minutes, he thinks it is boring and wants to head in. Oh well. We are working on the patience thing.
Hobby Lobby has the 40% sale this week, so I will bring a coupon and see what they have. Lately, I have not found much that I need, but then again, how much do we really need anyway? I will also see about space related items to peak the kids interest before the NASA trip.
It is late and I had better get to sleep. Will say some prayers for Bob, Char, Laz, Lee, Jim, Brent&susieQ, Mike/Lucas, RT, Chief, and several other unspoken ones. Lots of folks who need to be lifted up for various reasons. At least we know where to lift them.
God Bless,Dennis

Laz,
Sorry to hear about Jane.
Brent,
Thanks for calling. Would you like me to send you my resume and cover letter?
RT,
I will check with hospitals for potential openeings. Thanks for the tip.
Dennis,
Thanks.
Not much happening tonight. Spent the day looking for jobs and talked with Brent as well. It is nice to connect with the other members.
Good evening all,
I was busy all day today at work. I still have many things to finish up tomorrow before I hit the road next week. After work, I played with the kids, helped my daughter with a school project, and then got the fall decorations out of the garage for the wife. The wife made a fantastic dinner and followed it with some yellow-cake cupcakes topped with orange buttercream icing - so not good for the diet.
Probe - I understand that living abroad is not for everybody. As already stated, check USAJobs regularly. I'm sure you will see something closer to home.
Laz - Welcome back and sorry to hear about your friend.
Dennis - I have the Hobby Lobby coupon cut out as well. I have not had a chance to get to the store yet though.
S.J. - I'll pass on the banilla tonight due to the cupcakes.
Good night,
Joe
Evening all!
Welcome back LAZ! I will see you in York in October! So sorry about your furry friend. Our pup is 10 years old now and getting pretty gray around the muzzle.
Brent, Doug, Fifer, and Demay - Brent re help with those mountains - what Fifer is really saying is with teenage drama it is really easy to get mountains from molehills. BWaaa-ha-ha-ha-Bwaa-ha-ha!
Talking of teenagers, he who shall not be named just gave me a download of his day - I have had more conversation from him in a couple of days than in the last 6 years - and I am thinking - what's up? - annnndddd - it finally comes out he wants a "kicker" for his birthday. So this means at least a few more months to the next time he talks to me (e.g. Christmas and then another 10 months to Sept/Oct 2011. Now I am wondering what is a "kicker"? To me this sounds like something like nice cowboy boots? - but after some more conversation (very skillfully managed by me so I do not have to look dumb and actually ask what is a "kicker"? - turns out - a kicker is the big booming bass speaker for one's car. This is good I am thinking - we will be able to hear him when he is coming back into the neighborhood when he is still 8 blocks away.
Regarding the other teenager - she wanted tickets to the Cowboys Game - the $29 party SOR pass. Now I usually get duped in these deals - but she came in a little while ago and gave me $30 and promised the additonal $9 (all those Ticketmaster "service charges") tomorrow when she gets paid.
I am getting scared - one teenager who suddenly starts to talk to me and the other actually pays me back for something? I am going out to see if there is some big asteroid bearing down on me. If I get back to you guys in a day or so you will know I survived.
Brutus - good to hear the continuing good news about Char!
Have a great day tomorrow all!
Regards, Roy
Hello all
Dealing w/ some fairly heavy stuff right now, at least for me anyway. The good news is I am dealing w/ it fairly well. On the way to solving a big problem at work and hopefully I will be able to survive my mom being in town next week. I think someone walked out of my life this week after opening up to them, but alas, it is probably for the better.
Jim T. - hang in there. Check out university job sites too.
Hope everyone has a good Friday.

Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 70s. We won last night! 5-1 was the final score. Ok, it was against another team that had not won any games either and they were playing two people short and we did have a sub, but it was in the win column. I played ok. The HS boys tied a very good team 0-0, and "my" soccer girls did surprisingly well in a 4-0 loss to an excellent team (JV loss 3-0). The big news is tonight as we are having a special youth game at 6:30. We have been trying to "pack the house", and have a lot of people there. It should be interesting. Laz57, good to hear from you, but sorry to hear about the pooch. I had bacon and biscuits on the dining car for breakfast before sending it on to "Points East". TBIL after the game tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Hi GUYZ,

Rock on,

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a dark and cloudy 68 degrees. Looks like rain any minute. Suppose to go up to 78 today with cloudy skies.
Today is a busy day. I have an errand to run and some chores to do. I will be busy most of the day. Maybe a quick nap this afternoon.
LAZ.... Good to hear from you. Sorry about the loss of your friend. I am still going to PT, three times a week. Scenery is great.
Dining car is here for the usual breakfast.
Buckeye..... TGIF
Y'all have a great Friday.

Morning all. Off to my meeting.
Banks, Proud member of the OTTS TCA 12-67310
Hello all,
Been a long week. My issues are better but not resolved. Son has been told it will be at least a month before a decision is made. Thanks for your prayers.
Laz, great to see you back. Sorry about your loss.
Brutus, great news on the MRS.
8N, how's the back coming along.
Probe, an acquaintance of mine that is an EE turned in his notice at Westinghouse in Blairsville. There may be something there.
88, What type of mask are you using I've been using C-pap for over ten years. Can't tolerate the masks with "pillows" up my nostrils. If I skip even one night I feel lousy.
Teenagers, Been There- Done That. Mine turned out pretty well.
Got .75" of rain yesterday. First rain since Aug 22nd. Son planted 3 acres of Barley on Tuesday. Corn looks like it will turn out fair. Soybean don't look so hot. We shall see.
Not much on the train front. Have a top end rebuild kit ordered for grandson's four wheeler. May go to an antique tractor pull this evening. Never saw one of them
Best get back to work. I'll try to get back over the weekend.
Prayers for all who may need them
Thought my first post was lost. Did a new one
Morning all!
Gonna be a warm weekend. High creeping back up to mid-high 90's. Taking the Boy Scouts out on the lake tomorrow. Gotta get the boat ready tonight. Perfect skiing weather - that time of year when there is little to no wind - smooth water.
Bob - hang in there!
LAZ - will be in York in the spring also but things can change - it's a long way off. So you will not be there next month?
Have a great day all!
LawsonFarms - Haven't been dodging your question, Pat, just hadn't had time to sit down and analyze the Chase. Momentum and consistency seem to be the rule. Your beloved JGR has been pretty strong, but with 17 top 10's, 11 top 5's, and +228 points under the old system, the 29 is my pick. RCR has been the best team this season, and a sentimental pick is Burton (who should win this weekend). Stewart is my favorite driver in the hunt.
There you have it.
Mornin' Fellas.Probe - send it over. I'll take a look. Thanks for keeping the reason for cutting is short quiet. No big deal... officer just issued a warning and told me to slow down. Would have been 2pts and $90.00 (73 in a 55) nice to have dodged that one! Banks - I forget what it is called. It is one where I can wear my glasses to watch some TV prior to going to sleep. And yes, it does have the two pillows as you call them. LOL! The guy that did the fitting told me I can get one additional mask, so I think I'm going to call and request the one that just covers the entire nose.Laz - Welcome back! Sorry to hear about Lucy... man that sucks! Who is this guy from NC that keeps popping in here every now and again acting like we know who he is????BTW - sun room furniture arrives next Saturday. I'm taking a poll on the number of days it take The Q to recommend buying a TV for the room? My guess is 45.
Aloha all. Great to 'see' you, Laz. This 600 lb bear has been feisty. Sorry to hear about Jane. Glad you are hanging in there, smBob. This sounds like a tough time for you. Looks like a pretty day here. Big high school football game tonight. Might pop in if the bride is feeling better.

What...?

JGR has two shots at the championship, so we shall see. 29 and 31 are good picks. The 14 is overdue. (now here comes the but) But I am sticking with JGR.
I have to admire Kyle and Kevin in the Nationwide series. Kyle stands 3rd after missing 5 races, and Kevin stands 6th after missing 8 races.
If we were politicians, we could bet who has to push a peanut up a hill with their nose, or a years supply of Md Crab Cakes V a years supply of VA Ham.

Good Morning
overcast and 60, maybe.
I'm running late this morning, went shopping and granny went with me. We all know what that means. Wait I want to look at this Wait. Ya ok. Page 25 was a beaut wasn't it? Enjoy your day...S.J.
dougdagrump Afternoon All. Ray, Try unplugging your printer for a few minutes. I have encountered the same problem with mine a few times and was told by the maker that if the ink/toner is the same batch/lot in the new cartridge as the old it can give an erroneus reading/message. Spent part of yesterday sitting in the dentist chair, didn't really pay much attention as to how long until I heard him order another 50# bag of mortar from Home Depot. At least this week I was a bit smarter and had soup for dinner instead of chewing on my tongue along with dinner like last week. No museum tomorrow, plan on playing with the munchkin and maybe going to the Wild Animal Park. Sunday grampa's buddy turns 5 years old, picked up a "periscope" a few weeks back that he has wanted for a while. Back later !

Hi Guyz!!!!!!!!!!!! PC got a sexually transmitted disease or something last weekend and nothing would work, on-line or off. Took it into my PC guru.. Got it "cleansed." Now I find myself almost a week behind on posts. Who can give me a summary of the past week with what I missed?
Jack
IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Glad to help, Jack. Chiefs been gone, it been very peacefull here.
Your probably only 3 pages behind.

No problem. I figured it would be best for you to mention it if you chose to. I wondered what the noise was st first because the call had been breaking up, but then I clearly heard it. Was Fife the one who pulled you over? Could have had a Coffee Pot Conference Call. At least with a BMW, you can go 73. No way a Sunfire could get anywhere close to that.
Good Evening all
Sun but only 65 today.
I have had silent reminders of grannys chili all day but it was worth it. lol I just blamed it on Brutus's dog Chewy. Two grandsons were here this afternoon and I ran my friends Lionel jet powered Budd car. I'm really not sure what it sounds like but it's not an easy jet sound to ID. I guess if you really try it might be. Banilla is ready for the thingy so swing on by...S.J.
Vet put me on a new med'. for my diabetes. A side effect is flatulance, must get a dog...

Evening all
Kids in bed, just finished a Sam Adams, and going to do a little reading. Saturday is going to be busy. I received the 21089 Washington set I won on eBay. After cleaning it up it is GREAT looking! A little lube and she took right off. I’ll get a repro cannon and fence for the flatcar, and it will look like new. I am very pleased with the set. I’ll get some pictures when my camera returns home.
Joe – I enjoy leading Bible study or RCIA, because I always learn something new. Enlightenment from the Holy Spirit! The more I learn the more I love God!
LAZ – Good to hear from you. Sorry about Jane. How ‘bout some pictures of the addition?
Good Night and may God bless
Jim
What a busy Friday today was at work. It was mostly due to me attempting to finish many tasks since I will be on the road next week. I was still able to get home at a decent time so I will not complain. We ate leftovers for dinner; my wife prepated a dinner for our pastor's family. The pastor's wife had surgery two days ago and will not be 100% for a little while. She is doing well and this surgery should maker her quality of life better.
After the kids went to bed, the wife and I watched some t.v. and I enjoyed a root beer float. It's almost time for me to turn as well. We are driving to Tulsa, OK, tomorrow to pick up my wife's parents who are coming from FL. We will then drive to Muskogee, OK, and spend the night there with more of my wife's extended family. We will come back to Enid on Sunday.
