Good evening everyone. Long day. I was on my way out the door when one of the neurosurgeons asked me to help him out on a case. Well, five hours later, I finally get home. Anyway, I did get some time to work on some research I am doing for a project we are working on. Getting some good data now, but the real fun...not, happens when we have to crunch the numbers and do statistical analysis.
Ray, I had ment to tell you last night that your friend would be tested for nine hours if he was admitted for chest pain. They do a series of blood tests every three hours for a comparison of three different runs. If that were the case, he would not be able to call you in most cases. Besides, they try to make folks somewhat comfortable, so he may not have been able to put two words together. Regarding his 17yo bypass, yeah, that is awhile. Most vein grafts (the conduit they take from the legs) last about 8-10 years. Most internal thoracic artery grafts last about 15 years. If folks behave, don't smoke, keep their cholesterol down, and take their medicine, they can stretch the years out a little. Some folks with bad genetics will have a shorter longevity of their grafts.
RT, happy birthday to you sir. May your day be filled with blessings and good food and friendship.
God bless, dennis
PS: DougDG, don't be afraid to remind me about that instruction sheet, as I have a few things going on, and I don't want to forget.
TCA#09-63805
Cloudy and low 60's today. Sure seemed strange. Knowing that it is the end of January, I was expecting cold,nasty weather when I stepped outside at lunchtine. Really suprised by the warm air.
Doug M - some years ago, I happened to be in Frankfurt at the same time a G8 conference was being held. We were out walking looking for a place to eat when we came across one of the motorcade routes. The street was lined both sides with policemen, all armed with sub-machine guns. Quite a sight. I wonder what kind of security Chicago is going to provide?
The other thing I remember about that trip was a stage was being set up for some sort of protest. The police had ambulances staged about two blocks off of the square where the protest was being set up. That made me just a little uneasy. I gathered the group I was traveling with at the side of the square, away from the growing crowd and sugested that we find somewhere else to go.
All for now.
Closing up early as I'm not staying up till midnight.
Kev, that is your Yankee doctors for you [couldn't resist].
RT has a birthday??? Should I? HUMM Maybe???? I could?????? Well, don't know???? Guess I'd better. Happy Birthday
Chamber banquet was great.

52 degrees right now. We took advantage of the warm day(for here)and went shopping. We have a couple of list for different stores and today was --day. We got everything we went for. That's kinda unusual...S.J.

Joe, that was the point, to make light of it. No problem here I just hope the next visit brings better results. I think we have all felt the same thing after a visit to the Dr. After all it is something to laugh at. Kev.

I am having a quick coffee break at work so I figured I would get my last post in the January pot. I had a great three-mile run this morning. It was very chilly which I enjoy and the new running music I downloaded to the iPod really helped my pace. I have the usual paperwork to handle at the office today.
Jeffrey - I hope the MRI result moves your healing process along. I should have known you were a rap fan with the way you used graffiti on that F2.
Kev - I know I shouldn't laugh at the conversation you had with your doctor, but I did. I have had similar conversations.
SP Ray - I'm glad you received such great news. I pray the healing continues.
Happy Birthday RT!

Happy b-day, RT! Jeffrey, 71? I'm always jealous of my Southern and Cali buddies this time of year. But it got to 59 - and in Chicago, that's close to paradise. OK, where's the Tardis?

rtraincollector Well first SJ you asked if they actually had sidewalks in roseyville well the truth is not as we are accustomed to as there actually what we would call dirt trails but they do go along the front of buildings and homes there so I guess you could call them sidewalks but there made of dirt ( cheaper than paying for all that concrete and just take a small tractor with a scraper blade and you flatten them back out ) Thats why the Yankee the chief said was driving down the sidewalks didn't know it wasn't allowed as he didn't realize they were side walks....... ...........Well tomorrow is the big day for me.

Bobs new office is a little big for the job but they do make smaller ones that would work.
Bob when I saw the straps on the front of your new office reminded me of the one I use to see on the outskirts of Tallahassee, FL. except it was built to be towed never had a motor in it, it was towed to do its job. It must of been one of the first ones as it was really old and just on display.
Well I hope to make it to York in April so looking forward to that. I was informed my request for off during that time has been approved. ( we had to put in for leave for the whole year by the end of Dec) so I did both York dates hoping to get approved for one or the other well actually got both but can't afford to go to both so will try to go in April. Not planning to get anything really just want to go so I can say been there and meet some of the gang. But will be looking for a junk shell for a PA-1 especially if its NYC need the parts that the number boards go in and Lionel never sold them as separate sale but they sold the shells with out them as separate sale makes a lot of sense to me.
Talk to you all later hope you have a good evening.

cnw1995 Wow, it's hot out. I love saying that in January!
Wow, it's hot out. I love saying that in January!
Got the MRI out of the way. Guess I'll find out what it has to show when I go back to see the doc on the 7th. They had me wear headphones while the MRI was being done. Not bad as they muted the sound of the machine. What was bad was what was coming through those headphones. Rap! Oh man! I was about ready to scream! I had them change it to a classic rock station.
Wow, it's hot out. I love saying that in January! Ray, that's great news about your friend and your sister! Jack, that photo reminds me of a Metra poster campaign that features a different railroad security dog each month... Maximus would fit right in
Holy smokes.....I miss a couple of days and find myself 9 pages behind!!!!!!!
Buckeye........you live dangerously with your foray into Roseyville. I loved every update AND the photos!!
Kev and Jeffrey.......add in my aching knees and we have most of the leg covered. I can't narrow things down to a causal event. They've got me limping pretty good, the dog must have run into them as he has a tendency to do when he gets happy and excited, which is a lot.
RaySP......prayers for your ailing buddy. And the good news on your sister is upliting. Prayers for her continue.
Chief......if there is anything I can do to aggravate you, please let me know what it is and I will be happy to comply. That theft of your stuff angers me. You need to round all of us who have dogs so we can come on down, track the thieves down, and administer some rough justice.
Colin.......you escaped. That is good news.
Dennis.........hope your back stops barking at you. I took a whole bunch of photos at a dog training event with my new Nikon D3100, posted them on the trainer's website. Photos came out exceptional. Now I have everyone and their brother asking me to send them digital files, which is no problema.......except some of their handwritten email addresses are total chicken scratch, and I can't decipher their alleged handwriting. The emails to them with the attachments keep being returned to me "undeliverable" and "not our customer."
JoeyD.......thanks for your UTBRR video!!!!!!!!! Love it.
Later, gang.
KRM .......I have given up on the self-healing hope for my foot and am going to the foot Dr. tomorrow to see what the heck is wrong. I can barley walk and the top of the foot is bruised and it feels like it was run over by a truck. Twice the size of the left foot. ....... Kev I have the same problem but resolve it by removing one foot from my mouth and replacing it with the other. Jack

Good morning all, had two pieces of good news this morning. First of all, my best friend survived his heart attack. Finally found out from his wife last night that he was admitted to the hospital yesterday. They are running test today to determine how much damage. He had a triple by pass 17 years ago but said that they don't expect them to last that long before you need another one. I was able to talk to him this morning on the phone when I inquired about visiting hours at the hospital. He sounded good and was just waiting for the next procedure.
The second good news was an update on my sister in North Carolina with the cancer. The oncologist said that she is doing so well on harmone treatments and bone treatment that she can hold off on doing any chemo for a while longer. Meanwhile sister is ambulatory and having a good quality of life for now. Thank the Lord.
Getting ready to go with wife to her doctor appointment for check up on GI problems. New office so I have to show the wife how to get in there.
Have a good day y'all,
Ray

Mornin' All.
Don, Welcome to the club, I'm always confused.
Dennis, If you can scan and e-mail that would work. The instructions that came with my K-Line Mikes were very generic. Check the thread "K-Line Pacific".
Insomnia was about this morning, as usual woke-up about 4:30 and not able to get back to sleep. Finished last nites KP and got the dishwasher going, then started the betterhalf's coffee.
Anybody seen the MTH M&M's Handcar yet ? Was thinking of picking one up with Valentine's Day & Easter just around the corner. Should be an absolute hoot at the museum.
John, Kyle's situation hit kinda close to home. I lost a nephew to cancer some years back, no matter the age parents are not supposed to outlive their children. Continued prayers for Kyle and his family.
Prayers for all to recover from their ailments.
Later gang, need to get my rear in gear and run some errands.
Remember the Veterans. Past, present and future.

Buckeye Riveter Laz....Just remember I get a cut if you sell that stuff I brought back from NC. I thought the Chief would like the forum to be slow. Everything else in Roseyville is slow. It has occurred to me that I'm now a wanted man due to my visit to Roseyville. Mmm.....this might make life interesting.

Foot doctor appointment!!!
Enter:
Dr. so your foot is hurting you.
Kev. yeah that is why I am here.
Dr, how bad does it hurt?
Kev, like somebody has just stomped on it.
Dr, does it hurt like that all of the time?
Kev, mostly when I try to walk or stand on it.
Dr. what is that bright rash on top of your foot
Kev. humm that is why I am here
Dr. you have a very high arch
Kev, I know so?
Dr. I do too, do you keep your shoes tight.
Kev, yes, I don’t like loose shoes.
Dr. maybe they are pinching the nerves on the top of your feet and causing pain.
Kev, maybe?
Dr. lets loosen up your shoelaces so they don’t put pressure on the top of your foot
Kev, okay but never had this problem before.
Dr. start taking the same medication I gave you for the Gout and put some of this stuff on the rash.
Kev, okay why?
Dr. it may help
Kev, may help? fine, I will
Dr. plan on seeing me in two weeks but if it is not better in a week call me.
Kev, fine, I will, doubt it will get much better, it has been this way since November.
Dr, we will see, it may take a long time to calm the nerve. Have a nice day.
Kev, you too.
Secretary, $$$$$$$$ here is your new appointment date. $$$$$$$$
Kev, thanks.
Exit
To be continued Kev.
To be continued
Lunchtime,
A beautiful day in NJ. Sunny and temps in the 60's.
Kev, Jeffrey, good luck with the foot problems.
SJ, Hang in there and just ignore and laugh off the remarks.
Kyle is still hanging in. We have not heard much.
Dougdagrump, Thanks for the package. I am sure that it will put a smile on Kyle's face. A friend of ours who is a close friend delivered it for us. Thanks again.
The best of health for everyone.
John
Doctor appointment went OK. He checked out the pressure wound on the side of what used to be my ankle and could see no sign of infection. He did a culture swab on it to see what may be living in there. No matter how careful you are there's always something. He also gave me paperwork for an MRI so we can see what's going on in there with the bones. I almost have the paperwork completed.Seems I was supposed to get the MRI done this morning. Nobody said anything about that, just that it was being set up. They're rescheduling it now. This is why it's important that communication be clear.I'm getting my checkbook warmed up for the bill paying marathon tomorrow. I have to do the face to face thing at a couple of places. Some people insist on operating in the stone age still. The others I can pay online and a couple are automatic. Also have to get the first half of the grocery shopping done. The cupboards are almost bare.Just got the call about the MRI. I can still have it done today so I'm leaving at 12:30.That pretty much shoots my day into tiny pieces and tomorrow will be busy too, and then I have an appointment with my primary doc on the 2nd. No rest for the weary.

dbaker48 sir james I: 41 degrees now, this is going to be our 58 degree day. Don B your post was funny but removing it was probably a good idea as the e-mails fly fast on here. Just like a bunch of women at a beauty salon...Had a long chat with Brutus and Charlie last night...S.J. I'm confused! My decision had nothing do to with any emails.

Whatever your reason, it was still a good idea to remove it. As I said above , I thought it was funny.
Good late morning all. Had to work all day yesterday and got called back last night. Glad they let me sleep in. DougM, thanks, my back is feeling better. Funny thing, once I stood in position behind the camera, my legs and back got numb. That lasted to the end of service and when I tried to move, all the pain hits at once. I looked like I was well past my prime and would need assistance.
DougNAG, I have a K-line Mikado with TMCC, would those instructions help? Let me know.
Chief, sorry to hear of the theft. Hope you are able to get the items back.
Bob, that is a great office, they going to let you drive it home to use on the weekends to make some side money? Just kidding, I am sure you would not want to drive it too far, and I wouldn't press my luck about using the equipment off work.
Rich, most of the relief Association stuff, would go through the union bosses. We had a great guy as president of the NJIAFF who was on the job at HFD, but he died last year LODD. My dad retired from a volunteer dept and I have the instructions on his death benefits, I believe they are 9,000.00. But nothing else. If you have a specific need, email me and I will try to contact some folks to get the wheels turning.
Wife is packaging up some gifts to send to the kids we are adopting. It can be both a thrill and frustrating in having to wait for two countries' governments to deal with. Believe it or not, China is easier to work with than our own county for many of the items.
Well, gotta run. Have a Blessed day!
Dennis
YUZ GIZ!!!! Got to run. Town stuff and County stuff all morning. Cleaning out the Box [carpet and all]. Afternoon full of meetings and tonight a Chamber dinner. Later
