All the people I knew in the attack were lucky and got out. I am overjoyed that we have removed this threat from the world and pray we are vigilant and already zeroed in on the others that would plot and kill our friends and families. God bless the Navy Seals who were involved. I hope the weight they put in the sack with his corpse was a millstone. Stayed up too late talking with my wife about this, but I'll sleep good tonight!
TARDIS is ready and RT is already here and rewiring some switches in the control room - something about automatic routing??????
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good Evening

After the grass cutting I got lazy. Enough said. Banilla is waiting for the thingy group and I guess some rootbeer could be had..S.J.

Good evening everyone. I too have mixed feelings. In some sense, it is closure to a number of open chapters of friends who have died, both on 9/11 and in the fight since. On the other hand, the fight is far from over and I know that many will have to continue to fight and the world in which my young children are growing up has drastically changed from what we had to grow up in. I am extremely proud of our military for a job well done. Just up the road from our house, a 17 year old girl and someone else were killed in an accident yesterday. Sad.

Have fun with your trains

Blueberryhill RR Good Morning from Blueberryhill.... It is 60 degrees and cloudy. Rained last night. Going up to 70 today with more rain coming. Today is a busy day. I have several errands to run and the usual chores to do. Maybe a nap, later. LAZ... I feel the same way about Nascar as you do, about baseball. I used to love to watch Daytona and Taledega races. Now, it is nothing more than two cars pushing each other around the track. Those restrictor plates really keep a driver from racing. Dining car is here with Cheerios for breakfast. Y'all have a great Monday. Chuck

Chuck - I agree with you on NASCAR. On most races, especially restrictor plate races, I don't watch until the last 40 laps. No excitement before that.

Lunch Time,
Today is bittersweet for me. I am glad that we finally got Bin Laden but it is also a time of reflection. I remember 9-11-01 too well. Our garage is not far from NYC. It is in a flight pattern to the NY area airports. Everything was quiet for days. All we saw was military aircraft. The Vol Fire Co that I belong to was dispatched with the first wave from Jersey. Families that I know lost loved ones. The smoke extended down the Coast over 60 miles. When the first plane hit, I just finished my first pass on a welding recertification test. I thought it was an accident. When the second plane hit I was on the second pass. Then we knew there was trouble. Also remember those that lost their lives in the Pentagon hit and the brave souls aboard the plane that crashed in Pa. Remember the words, "Let's Roll". Time to stop and reflect and remember those that were lost and their families.

Good morning all, watched the news last night. I agree that I did not feel like cheering but glad justice was done. Nothing can ever compensate for the brave and innocent that were lost. Thank God, he can't plan anymore terrorist projects himself. We must still and always be vigilant against these bums.
Nothing much going on at the Pat and Ray cooking show this morning. I finished off some pulled Pork from Costco yesterday. Man, that was really bad. Won't buy anymore of that. Nothing like real Carolina Bar-B-Que. Had first of the season corn on the cob with sockeye wild caught salmon last night. Yum, Yum!
Train meet yesterday. I took one item to sell on friend's table. It was a new in the box Railking graduated trestle set. Wound up giving it away so I would not have to take it home. Even had trouble doing that. Had to ask several people before I found a home for it. Glad I did not pursue sales for a living.
Have a good week all,

Good morning all,
IIARDISEI (It is another rainy day in South Eastern Indiana, might as well as use another acronym as the first one will probably never get used again). Perhaps the recent events will yield even more positive results down the line. Will Power wins soggy Brazil. Team Red sweeps top four positions. Why do I even bother anymore? I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
traindood No, there is no joy here today, just a sense of perspective of the events that led us to the only conclusion possible. God bless America, land of the Free and home of the Brave!
Listening to all the news and reports, I can't find reason for celebration either. I SURE APPRECIATE YOUR POST, IT REFLECTS MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY !!! Prayers for all the families that lost so much!! .

Think good thoughts, do good deeds!
Good Morning
cloudy and 50
I just finished cutting the grass for the first time this year. I gave up waiting for it to dry. Had a big breakfast so that means no lunch. Have a great day...S.J.
Aloha. I see the sun here which is a nice change. It was a busy weekend - watched the pastor's little kids Friday night, visited with friends Sat, and worked three services as video director, then saw a play with the bride. Caught up with the latest Doctor Who show too. Teen cut the front lawn - just to top off the sea of dandelions. It's a relief being back at work.

HI GUYZ,
A VERY GOOD MORNING!!!! They finally got him!!!! USA! USA! USA!. Way to go SPECIAL FORCES, WELL DONE!!!
56 and another rainy one on the way. Ran trains for 30 minutes last nite, NO PILE UPs.
DENNIS, go for the class 3 license, more fun to shoot. If you ever get a chance to go to a NRA convention, check it out. One of the best gun shows ever.
Stay frosty,

Good Morning,
I test ran the engines that I got back from the Train Room, excellent repairs. I definitely recommend them.
Dennis, I totally agree with the Heroe bumper sticker.
SJ, 8 year old battery. I think you got your money's worth.
Everyone have a great day,
Morning to All
Busy, busy weekend. Richmond for the NASCAR race on Saturday. Gordon really took it on the chin. Had a top 3 car all night and then got wrecked in a pack of slower cars. Sunday we drove back and stopped in DC where we met my son for a Nationals game. Very enjoyable, my son bought some great seats for us. Of course then we fed him and kept him hydrated which at $8.50 per beer probably cost us more than the tickets. Still had a great time. Weather was a little iffy with light sprinkles off and on.
Well I better get going.
Take care,
Mitch

Hello all
Long weekend here @ the 'scope operating and trying to solve this crane issue. Believe we have come up w/ a plan, informed all the bosses, and now we just have to do the easy part, do the work. Oh yeah, I do have to be on a conference call about it at 8AM, when I got up yesterday @ 3PM. Sleep is overrated.
Phish - great news on your house and camper!
They are serving grits @ McDonald's? But, the new Kato Unitrack already has ballast built in...
On the train front, I resubscribed to Trains and decided to try Model Railroader for fun.
Hope everyone has a good week

Congratulations to all concerned.
Everything has a price. My sympathy and condolences to the people killed and hurt by the Tornados.

Reclinerized. Woke up and the 11 PM news was an hour late. Some sports thing took precedent over everything. Was great news. Now expect some action in retaliation. Off to bed.
Sleep tight.

We finally got him boys.. Bin Laden is dead!
Charlie a.k.a. MichiganRailRoad714 (Charter Member TTC)
Good Sunday Evening, Guys!
I was just about to type in when a friend texted me that Bin Laden has been killed by our military! Revenge for our murdered brother and sister firefighters and countrymen. We can only hope now that "the head of the snake" has been chopped off the body will die and quickly.....
Just got done with the fire house banquet hall set up for a function tomorrow. It was such a nice day, the Daddy Wagon and I burned some $3.79/gallon regular and took a trip through the Pine Lands of New Jersey. Windows down at Mach 7 with Def Leppard crankin' on the CD player. I had a good time at least...
Just paying some bills now then off to la la land. Have to make $$ money for our retired buddies.
Good news before bed...love that!!!
More tomorrow...!

Cool, cloudy day today. Maybe made it into the 60's, with rain drizzle at mid-day. Didn't have to water the new veggies today.
Stripped paint and primed the trim on a doorway. That took most of the afternoon.
Real quiet day today.
Happy Mayday! It actually looks like spring and BBQ season is here
Lots of good thoughts about food and exercise this week but here's my take, never trust a skinny cook! It's also why I go to the Y 4-5 days a week to pay for my transgressions. In my storage bldg. I have 160# of wood charcoal ready for the smoker, hope that lasts to July 4 ......... bring on the BBQ, every ones welcome, bring your own cholesterol pills -- I don't share

So many roads, so little time.
It did make 71 today. The boat is out front now but I need a new battery, kept it charged during the winter but its 8 years old and just barely lifted the motor. Brutus offered to buy it for a hundred but backed out when I told him shipping and handling would be six thousand. I'd also have to add a gas surcharge. Get ready for Monday or the Tardis whichever comes first..Banilla for all..S.J.
Good evening guys. Church was great for both services.....except my back was hurting as I was on Camera 1. Eventually, my left leg went numb as we stand the whole time. I'm in badddd shape! I really need to get back to the gym.
Laz, I have not been to a good gun show in years. Most are selling old junk, or over priced items they can't sell in their stores. Contemplating going for my class 3 license and getting some more interesting items in my safes.
Chief, sounds like you guys have been busy up there. We have been dodging tornadoes and storms and have been lucky so far. Several folks from our church are on the Georgia Baptist Disaster team. They are up in Birmingham now, having already worked in Ringold, GA.
I read a great sticker on a rear window of a SUV after church: Some heroes wear capes, mine wear combat boots. Was a classic statement that helps start a good conversation with the kids. They can watch TV stars and sports stars, but we need to look to the folks putting their lives on the line so that we can have our freedoms.
Pray that each of you have a blessed week ahead.Dennis
(compatibility mode engage!)
Right, well I got up this morning expecting all day storms. The sun was out!!! After getting something to eat and letting it settle, I spent a couple hours mowing the lawn down to the trees and then put down some mole repellent stuff around the house and along the tops of the front and back hills. Took a shower and later we had just a little rain, so that will set that mole stuff I hope. I have more in liquid form to use with the hose, but wanted to put the granules down in certain areas. I still need to fertilize, but with all these storms I thought it would just all run off. If we have a couple days of good weather, I'll do it after work tomorrow night.
No trains today, but did admire the DC, which I have set up on my desk so I can look at it all the time. Really has a lot of great details
Chatting with RT about good stuff!
TARDIS is ready, so let's hit it!
