Good evening all,

It is back to rain in SE Indiana.  Brazil Indy was a freaking wet disaster.  Both Vitor and Swiss Miss are out of contention already.  Spent more time at house today.  Wife and I went to see "Water for Elephants".  Wonderful train scenes and a good ending.  I had cinnamon rolls on the dining car.  TBIL and I can drive.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Afternoon All.

Veg out day, two long days at the museum and I am pooped. Regular run on friday and "Kid's Club" program on saturday. Dead Kicked back w/coffee and watching Padres/Dodger and Cubs/D'back games.

Still hard to comprehend the amount of damage done by the tornadoes. Now they are trying to figure out who to damge more with floods, farmers im Mo or residents of Cairo, Il. 

Y'all ready for Mother's Day ?

Had to cover fishpond, as a blue heron has discovered easy pickings...

LOL, I had a small pond filled with gold fish in the back yard when I lived in Seattle. Only problem was my Black Lab decided he liked the taste of the gold fish.

Dennis - When it comes to our health we always consult with a doctor. Our problem in the past 40 years, all conventional doctors, including internists, didn't test and explore the whole body, just teste for  your complaints. Things turned around when we found a "functional" MD.

The internist I had did come close to the "functional" doctor.

Fife - are blue herons protected?

Too busy boys.  Cut Grass.  Changed oil.  Laundry.  Did get down to yatchet yesterday afternoon.  Fifepup and I put the sails on the spars, and installed new hardware in cockpit.  Looks sharp with all its Pacific Blue trim.  Had to cover fishpond, as a blue heron has discovered easy pickings...Surprise

None of that 4 letter word that rhymes with well I can't say that here. anyway that stuff we Yankees use to glue items together and use as a base for road bed.

Morning all.  Wifey and I over slept this AM.  Probably go to gun show [free pass from David, Hunters Haven and my contractor].  Got one of Pam's former co-worker's Dad's visitation later this afternoon.

Busy wek ahead.  County Commissioners and Town Board tomorrow.  Probably run to lake house Tuesday and mow and come right back if not raining.  Wednesday is League of Municipalities Town Hall Day with General Assembly [all day thing], Thursday to Mayor's Prayer Breakfast in Rolesville and then 40 before 40 Award Luncheon where I nominated our Town Atty [she won].

Have a great week and month.

Hi GUYZ,

  Got home yesterday from the 140th NRA Convention out in PITTSBURGH,  WOW what a great show!!!!  Spent friday and saturday at the convention center hold guns fro a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.  No lie, you can pick up any gun from all the major and minor manufactures and try them out.  Firing pins were all removed and all for safety.  Nice time about 70,000 people were to show up this past weekend.  Lots of celebrities from the shooting world were there along with DONALD RUMSFELD, TED NUGENT, BROCK LESNER, members of the OLYMPIC BIATHOLON TEAM, GUNNY EMBRELD, the GUYZ from ALASKA GOL RUSH series on discovery channel,  just a whole bunch there to be on hand to talk to.  Pretty cool stuff, if you are into hunting or shooting and ever get a chance to go, by all means check it out.  If you are a NRA member it free.  NO COST!  Just show up and walk the 4.5 acres to see lots o stuff.

Slept well last nite now to get grass cut before it rains again.

CHUCK, YEAH for THE TRIBE,  I still follow them but not like I use to.  Free agents and owners, and commissioner, is killing baseball, and my interest.

Stay frosty,

Good morning, 56 and sunny going to 65.

Picked up my engines from The Train Room in Point Pleasant, NJ yesterday. Did not have a chance to test run them yet. Definitely later today.

Time for some yardwork.

New month and corrected number of years.  Seems Lucy [Shake and Bake] forgot that April 1 is always the anniversary date of the Pot.

Busy day for me.  Gardened and then had Child Abuse Prevention thing and candle light ceremonial.  Cold about to get me down.  Watched some of Gods and Generals and got mad all over again.  Took cold meds and reclinerized.  Do now have water in kitchen [new granite counter tops look great] and bathroom.  Still have to go upstairs to pee and shower. Confused  Gun show tomorrow.

Sleep tight.

BTW: IE9 has compatibility problems with CTT software.  On the "banner line" where it reads www.cs.trains.com, look to the right.  You will see a symbol looking like a torn page, click on it until it turns blue.  Then post.
