RAY,
Usually on my lap, but maybe have to make her a nice high chair.
Good morning all,
It was 45 when I woke up this morning and it will hit 65 this afternoon. The kids rode their bikes to school today and the last remnants of snow are quickly disappearing. I have a busy day of paperwork planned in the office today.
Last night, the entire family went out for pizza to celebrate Valentine's Day. We got the kids some simple gifts: a beginner's watercolor kit for our daughter; a Polish made lego-type vehicle for our older son; and an inflatable drum for the baby.
Don Baker - That is a nice looking locomotive. As previously asked, I would also like to know more about it.
It's time to get back to work,
Joe
Morning all!
Beautiful day yesterday! Another warm one today - some rain predicted for Sat and Sun.
Have a college visit trip scheduled Sat with my son. Bus trip to Texas A&M, College Station, TX, leaving at 6 am - OW!
Don B - I have the MTH Climax and it is a sweet little loco. Great smoker too! Good one to let kids run as it cannot go very fast and thus not leave the tracks!
LAZ - sounds like you need a stool and a mini-bar for Minnie!
Had a nice Valentine's dinner at local Italian restaurant last night. The only thing affecting the MS.'s day yesterday is she came down with a bad cold yesterday morning.
Hope everyone has a great day today!
Regards, Roy
Lunchtime,
The temp went from 32 to 25. The weather guy says 50 for Friday. All I know is that my fingers froze doing dielectric tests this morning.
RI Jack, The plight of homeless pets is a real concern. Our Lab/Pointer mix came form an abandoned litter from NC. Great dog. Listens well except like we talked about before, off the leash he is good until he gets distracted. Recall collar is in the works. Finally I am gaining on getting the wife's approval. Now she is talking about adopting another that was abused and is in need of care from a local shelter.
Laz, Our dog Mack has his area where he like to sit and watch the trains. He is good until somebody moves and he thinks that he should get a treat.
Ray, Maybe we can sandblast the roof and base Thursday or Friday night.
Back to work,
Thoughts and Prayers for all in need.

Don, nice looking engine. Is that a Heisler? Who made it? I think they had one of those on the Roaring Camp and Big Trees narrow gauge railroad up in Felton, California. They also have a two truck shay.

Evenin' boys. Sunny & 41 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Rather windy too, as a steady northerly gust had ripped 3 feet of water out of my creek.

As always, glad to help.

Aloha from my class - this is the usual time in the middle of the quarter where everyone in the lab is quietly working on their projects and I can check in with you to say hello. It's Buckeye's birthday again already? Fife, I know what you mean...A nice warm day in Chicago (38 sure feels warm). Uh oh, someone has a question. Gotta go. Too bad I can't connect on my long train ride home.

You sure it's not your birthday...?

Blame Pat he started it yesterday the rest of us are just running a day late.
I think we've had over the past 3 days more wind than we will get the rest of the month! Whew!
Hudson#685 - I'll be working both Thur and Fri nights but should be home by 8:30ish, let me know if it works for you! Thanks!
Nice Valentines Day. Worked late until 7:30 and called the wife to see "where do you want to go for dinner?" Oh well, she wasn't feeling too good and ask me to stop by the local diner, one of our favorite places to eat, and pick up her a dinner to go! No problem, and since she rarely eats it all I guess I bought todays lunch as well. What else can WE do????

Good Late Evening Gents,
Old Business: Jack..the atrocities that face our animal friends (read: Cats and Dogs) are inhuman. My family makes it their business to feed and spay/neuter those feral cats and adopt those that are adoptable. We are "cat" people but have had canines in the family. We had Big Cat, a black and gray Tiger and Baron Von Richtoffen a German Shepard. The both got along famously. But if Richtoffen got a little "rough" with Big, a swat across the muzzle, claws bared usually got his attention.
Just getting home from work and fire meeting...I LOVE meetings ......
Colder tonight wind gone and, thankfully, no calls last night. Maybe get another full nights rest in before tomorrow.
DonB - Nice Shay or is that a Climax...
I know when Buckeye's Birthday is and I ain't tellin'....
Check bac later dinner has been NUKED...!

Evening all
Watching the dog show on TV, so is our Snachouser, or how ever you spell it!
The a-Kooskin came in last night. Took it apart and cleaned it oiled it and with a little work the motor works fine. Going to keep an eye out for a reproducer. Does anyone know if the later reproducers will work in the a-Kooskin? My 755 talking station is boxed up and not easy to get to. Before buying one I'll find out.
Prayers for the needs
May God bless
Jim
Don - sweet engine!
Well the tooth will out, but not today. Doc thought he had enough to pull on, so he gave her some local shots. Put the clamp on and started, but it was too painful, so he quit. He said he would try again next week. So, disappointed, we went to run a few errands and then grabbed a lunch at Imo's Pizza. You guessed it - the tooth cracked off now way down deep. So, tomorrow the other doc in the practice will cut it out and they'll do anesthetic if necessary, it has to come out. Of course, that's what we thought they would do today! What a snafu.
Since I was off all day, I went ahead and did our taxes while the kids were still in school. Then Char had PT and an at-home nurse evaluation. They took a sample for CDIF, hope she doesn't have it!
Stan the Man got his medal. Still not sure why he got it, but he's a local favorite and apparently a very generous and nice guy.
TARDIS is ready of course and some peanuts and syrup will be great on the banilla, so belly up boys!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good evening all,
I don't have much to report here: we had pasta for dinner and leftover Valentine's Day cupcakes for dessert. The boys and I ran the trains for a short bit; the baby was having too much fun so we stopped a little sooner. After the kids went to sleep, the wife and I prepared for tomorrow night's Bible study class. It's now time for bed.
Navyjack - All the best to your son, I'm sure you're very proud. I hope everything works out with your deck – heck, just let it go until your son comes back from school and he can rebuild it for you .
Good night,
PS - congrats, NJ!
Good night all. Reclinerized for a long time. Wifey came in from ladies' Bible study. Said high and went back to sleep. Went to find Kitty Kitty and couldn't. Checked upstairs and she was in the bed up there. Wifey had let her in. She now sleeps upstairs in one of the guest bedrooms. Dogs were barking all over the community. Maybe coyotes stiring them as moon is getting full.
NJ, great son you have.
Hudson, sounds like you are getting a "doggy house" like us.
Buckeye, just like you trying to get more presents from us guys. I always send you nice presents.
Sleep tight.

Been above freezing here since Saturday. The snow is going away in a hurry.
My wife's knee replacement surgery has been moved up a week. Did the tour of the hospital and doctor's offices today for the pre-operation admission stuff. Just waiting for the day now. Another round of doctors tomorrow for anothe back surgery check up. She just finished PT and her back is doing well.
Stopped by the LHS Saturday. Picked up a 2011 ready to run catalog. Seems bigger than last year's. Couple three items that I might be interested in ordering.
Work is still crazy. The machine we have down for a major rebuild is causing havoc with the production schedule. The new product sample runs I'm working with are very difficult to get worked into the schedule. Got one running tonight. Going to stay up for a while yet, just in case I get a call. Would rather get woken up from reclinerizing, than from deep sleep in bed.
All for now. Probably back in a few days.
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 50s. Snohio is just about all gone. Dad rested well the night before. He has been getting a few visitors, which he enjoys. We watched "Gunsmoke" last night. Last night was TV night with Glee and V. Hope they both get better soon. Work was busy again. May try to scrimmage with high school kids in soccer tonight. Depends on a lot of factors. Street department picked up all the tree limbs I stacked out front yesterday. Massive quantities. One of the car pool people is driving the other two of us a bit crazy with her constant reshuffling of schedule. May have to address that issue. I had the regular fare on the dining car for breakfast before sending it on to "Points East". TBIL anytime and I can drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
I really liked all the caring comments about dogs and cats. Animals are so often abused its nice to see people care. We are expecting a four day rain storm, but cant complain about weather compared to our friends in the east. I did get woken up by the hospital tonight, and that is why I am posting so late.
DON BEAUTIFUL LITTLE SHAY OR CLIMAX. GREAT PICS TOO. NAR, I THINK ITS A CLIMAX
BRUTUS Sorry about your wives tooth WHAT A BUMMER, but i am thrilled about her transplant going well.
Well good night everyone, or should I really say good morning
Have a great WED Glen
