Well, here it is a little early but fresh. April 1 will be our 6 year aniv. Was in Savanah GA doing a Bass Pro Shops event when the first continous Pot was started. Was doing a new one each day when Elliot suggested we run a continous one. Ran for years until Berggie interfeared. Now we have to do one each month. Saves server space I'm sure. Glad CTT lets us do this. Thanks CTT and Bob Keller.

Happy march. The sun actually showed itself today!
Wife's PT was here today. He got a chuckle over the idea of handcuffing her to the walker.
All for now.
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps reaching the 40s. First day back to work was busy, but not overwhelming. Case load not too bad, but I have another round of labs to do today. Hmmmm.... Quiet evening at home. Odd that I get to post on the first page during a work day. I had the regular fare on the dining car for breakfast before sending it on to "Points East". TBIL after "Glee" and V. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It's a cold and clear 28 degrees. Going up to 38 today with sunshine.
Today is a busy day. I have a few errands to run and the usual chores around the house. Then, I will relax, this afternoon. Maybe a nap. Baseball season is coming soon.
Dining car has arrived from " Points West" and it has Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great day.
Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb,
that's how March is coming in, will see how it goes out?

Greetings from the Heartlands where our current landscape is a beautiful brown We were in MPLS for the weekend visiting the kids and their landscape is VERY white -- about 36" on the level, UFFDA! Our temps today will hit a very nice 50 so Doug M. we will forward the good vibes eastward.
Very glad to see January and February in the rear view mirror, March & April brings hope in many ways
Best To Everyone!

So many roads, so little time.

Yes GUYZ it's $20.00 after March 4th.
Good Mornin' Ya'll From Crisp and Clear Taxachussetts,
Roy.......hope you are feeling better.
Chief........[bday] Thanks for launching this thread 6 years ago. And to Bob and CTT for surviving us. I read your post about having Bluetooth capability in your new Garmin GPS. Great feature. I have always felt driving while yakking on a cell phone was a dangerous combo, distraction, but hands free is definitely an improvement. A guy texting while driving last week drove his car off a bridge and into the Danvers River about 4 miles from here. Folks here in Taxachussetts can't drive, let alone doing it while distracted.
DonB......I am torn about the choices you have left me. How about a picture of lovable you with choice (A) also in the picture?
Jon........last year at this time I was cleaning up Fall and Winter debris in the yard, performing dog poo patrol, and dropping that first coat of fertilizer and limestone on the lawn. Won't be doing that for a few weeks since we're still staring at 18"-30" of snow on 95% of the lawn with 4 foot high mounds remaining in a few spots.
Later, gang.

IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Lunch Time,
Good day at work, so far.
Chief, The Coffee Pot is a great way to make new friends in the hobby, Thanks, to you, CTT and Bob.
RT, Good luck with the soar throat. Get well soon.
8n, Keep up the humor with your wife and her PT. I feel that laughter heals.
Harold, Cherish the days of the Blue & Gold Dinners. They grow up too fast.
Laz, Beware of the Ides of March. I can remember many cold days and nights out in the snow storms in March.
Fife, My wife and I thank you for the info. My wife says that she is going to lounge in the pool when Meghan does the photo shoot. And then it is sight seeing, shopping and dinner.
RI Jack, they drive the same way in Jersey. They also like to run into utility poles. A lot of time when they are still on the trailer, when they are horizontal. They talk on the phones, when the truck passes them they turn into the pole.
Back to work,
John
Sure wish I could make York this year.
YES, SAD. Was securing his equipment when it went off. Charlotte Mecklenburg Officer.
Sunny but cooler. Had a nice big rain last night. Off to the lake house [finally]. Deck to take down and new one to build. Got to be back Friday night.
Later.
Coffee's Cold
So I added some grounds and turned it back on. It was a sunny day, some more melting but still way more snow than grass. Made it to wally mart and back,unhitched the dogs and put the stuff away. Banilla is ready for Brutus and the thingy,,,S.J.
What would it be like if the Chief and I were at York the same time?

Good evening guys. A long day, started with prayers and our weekly men's group from church. Went in early to watch a case as we are starting with a new technique and needed to over-see things. All went well, but it made for a long day.
RT, hope you are feeling better! Don't mess around, if it stays for more than a few days, go have it checked! Some nasty funk has been making the rounds.
Got our passes to the zoo that we joined here. Small place, but Jim Fowler is the head of it as this is his home town. They have quite a number of different species as well. They also have a number of activities for the kids.
Not much on the train front lately...have been on the busy side of things. I really need the relaxation of the layout though. Hope everyone is doing well.
God Bless,Dennis

Good evening all, went to the doctor this afternoon about my leg problem. He thinks it could be a ligament problem in the knee. Prescribed prednisone to bring down inflamation. Have to report back to him after 5 days of this. and follow up visit in two weeks.
Ordered the WBB Norfolk Southern Executive F3 A-B-A today for delivery whenever they come.
Had another operating session with problem MTH E6 units today and they ran good. Responded to all commands in DCS except all lights are out now. I replaced a lighting board once already for $200. Don't think I will do that again. I'll just run dark if I have to. Might be able to wire lights to pick up roller in the future.
TTOS train meet coming up this coming Sunday in Arcadia.
Later,

Good evening all,
We had some terrific weather today; it hit 75. The family and I were in OKC today so the older two kids could undergo round two of allergy testing. The results were what we expected: both of them have some allergies and require regular allergy shots. The boy is still allergic to peanuts, but our daughter has already grown out of her wheat allergy. That is significant as now the wife does not have to plan so many wheat-free meals which can be quite the task. We had lunch at a great pizza place and then came home. The daughter had ballet practice and I had to take the boy to get a toy since he took all the allergy testing shots so well.
Chief and CTT - Thanks for allowing the pot and forum. I have been on for about over a year now and have learned a great deal.
Good night,
Joe
dwiemer RT, hope you are feeling better! Don't mess around, if it stays for more than a few days, go have it checked! Some nasty funk has been making the rounds. God Bless,Dennis
Called and left message for my Doc at the V.A. as was told in the past witht e meds i take don't use sudafed/actafed. but there allowed up to 24 hrs to answer you. so I got no answer today. And I now feel it moving down into my chest which I figured it would. Probably won't go in tomorrow as affraid i would spread it and I'm off friday thru wed. don't want to spread it seeing I work at a hospital and I see most paitents and don't want to give it to anyone else so may have to call and talk with them tomorrow.
Did run trains some today but really wasn't into it. hope all is doing better than I and hope you all had a good day
Evening all,
Just checking in from PA. Not much going on, just finished up some school work. School has been pretty light on work lately, but it's probably going to pick up sometime soon.
I was contacted by Youtube today because one of my videos has become extremely popular! They want to run ads over my videos and with each valid click on an ad, I get a percentage of money from each click. $100 is a minimum balance I need before Google pays me. It's pretty cool to be able to make money just by creating railroad videos!
I hope to check in more often, as trains are coming back into my life! I'm in the planning stages of 2 railroads right now; an HO scale layout in the basement and my garden railroad. Since I'm staying home for school instead of living on campus, I need something to entertain me. Like my parents, I'm probably going to move out once I get married. That way I have a good down payment for a house and my VW Jetta GLI or my Audi RS4.
I'm gonna go read a little, I had a pretty busy day so I feel like putting my feet up and relaxing!
Colin
I hope you feel better soon, RT -- colds suck
Thought I posted the post last night, but guess I didn't hit the button or something? Char had a really good doctor visit. First, she drove herself to the doctor - the building has valet parking for the patients. Her numbers are all good except for one single liver number, which is still in the "H" high range, but it is now coming down too. She told the doctor that she was able to go down and then come back up the stairs during our tornado scare the other night, and he was very pleased.
She has been able to drive around and get the kids from school, etc. He dropped one of her medicines and it looks like she is on track to be able to go back to work late this month? She would only be able to work half-time for now.
Nice chats with the guys the past two days. TARDIS is ready, so let's hit the road
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Sunny and in the 50's today.
Brutus - great news about Char.
Got a box of goodies the other day for my Frankenstine 4 motor 200 series Alco ABA project from DigiKey. Though, with my wife's knee recovery, I hesitate to dissapear into my shop in the basement for extended periods of time to spend much time working on the thing.
Put some Boy Scout and Harry Potter items out of the 2011 RTR catalog today. They will get here someday.
Good Morning to All,
Chilly here in Gettysburg this AM. Had a late night last night, then wife and I had dinner out. Didn't get in the house until 8:30 or so. I had a crab cake platter that was mighty fine. We used something called a Chewpon that my wife bought on-line. Paid $15 for $30 in restaurant credit. Went to bed at about 10:00 now I am up very early, couldn't sleep, tossing and turning over some work related issues. Hope things settle out soon at work.
I too appreciate the generosity of CTT for hosting the Pot and cherish the camaraderie and friendships developed here. Received my York materials a few days ago. I had registered on-line, very quick turn around. The thought of Chief and Buckeye at the same York meet brought a smile to my face. I always enjoy our little meet up on Friday afternoons at the CTT booth.
Well guess I'll close for now and wander out and put on a fresh pot. Stop in for a cup when you get a chance.
Take care,
Mitch

IIABSDISEI with temps in the 40s. Got caught up on lab reports yesterday and started doing case reports. Not too terribly many of those and may get those done today as well. Hoping to start taking care of "details" at home as well. May have an offer pending on dad's already, which kind of good and bad. Good in that we could be done with the estate sooner, but bad in that we may have to hurry in moving stuff out. We shall see. Chief and CTT, I echo the many thanks already expressed here. Not sure what I would have done the past few years without this group. No "Glee" last night, but did watch V. It was a little different. I had the regular fare on the dining car for breakfast before sending it on to "Points East". Might want to check A J Foyt's website. Very cool retro paint scheme for his car this year. TBIL after soccer tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
