Chief.....Why on page 35 did you say those horrible, nasty, slanderous and abusive comments about Chuck, Laz, Jon, SP, Jack, fife, Brent, Laz again, rt, Don, SJ, Doug, Rich and Kev?  Whistling

I know, Buckeye.  It has gotten pretty bad with the Chief.  It's the grits and the Eagles Nest (TM) moonshine he calls meds. Whistling 

Last night he had a second post in the works, worse than the first, taking potshots at Brutus, Darren, 8N, Roy, JoeyD, JimSP, Dennis, AF Ray, SubmmBob, Jeffrey, Wes, V8, HudsonJohn, Charlie, Mel, Northwoods, MikeC, JimmyT, Traindood, and even Pat and Banks.  But before he could hit the post button, he dozed off on his recliner. 

After reading the Chief's first post, Jeffrey took action.  He fired up his 1981 UltraLight and flew East under the radar to Roseyville, riding the LA. storm tailwinds at record speed.  When he landed at the Mayors Mansion, the Chief's dogs/security detail were fast asleep in the mud under the porch as usual.  Jeff was able to perform his electrical magic on the internet cable and the John Deere that Chief runs to generate electrical power.  In a flash, he brought down all Mayoral communications except for the carrier pigeons, figuring they were too fat to fly anyway and were probably dinner for tonight. . 

Before Chief awakened from reclinerizing, Jeff had weathered the BOX (autos didn't need it), took recon photos of the abandoned trucks and cars in the yard, commandeered some moonshine from the Chief's still-unsecured open shed to refuel, and escaped back to Sundown LA. unnoticed.

Just got home from the mountain not too long ago. We got about 6" of new snowhio last night. I crashed until about 3PM and the boys had it all plowed when I left.

Here's a link to the clip I made of the Marx clockwork train:

These things can really move. No pile ups but the caboose was on two wheels at one point!

Busy day tomorrow. Time to find a pillow.

Good night all.  Been reclinerizing since 8.  Meds I guess.  Dr. heard gurgling and sent me for xray.  Sent me home.  Stopped and picked up more meds.  Bowl of home made veggie soup and out I went.  Wifey feeling poorly too. [Copy cat] Real warm outside.

Jon and Jack, agree.  Looked like a fuzzy hairy worm wiggling across the floor.

Charlie, they were suppose to hit Sir J's.  I must have given him the wrong GPS.  Next flight will be a load of wet grits dumped on 8N.  He'll call it snow. Whistling  Its really grits camoed.

Roy, thanks for the warming.  Jeffrey, keep your storms.

Got a ribbon cutting at Ophthalmologist buddy of mine who has just moved his practice to Rolesville.  Then house arrest [especially if rainy].

Off to bed I go.  Sleep tight.

I was on the forum last night just before it went down. 

Chief had posted something about consigning some cinder blocks to a friend of his who is a B-52 driver and asking him to make some deliveries in the 'nawth'.

Chief - since my place is much farther away than other points 'nawth', I'm not worried about the blocks with my address.  The grits will have seeped out of them and gummed up the poor airplane long before it gets here.  Good thing Whiteman AFB is 1/2 hour down the road.  Your buddy will have a good runway to put his crippled plane down on.

Laz - you said something about Lionel putting out another K-Line catalog?  I thought they sold that name.

All for now.

Well hello - it works tonight!  I couldn't get into this thread to post last night.  Also I see the locked page is still locked, but I guess that's okay now.

Well, some tiny little metal piece broke on my La-z-boy chair.  It's just a little bent piece of metal with clips on either side, which locks into the track teeth to hold the foot rest.  one of the little side metal bits broke off.  I'll stop at LzB on the way home tomorrow and get a replacement or get one ordered.  Other than that, I'm about brain dead this week with training all day - it's just enough new stuff to make it work and just enough stuff I already know to make parts of it terribly boring.  Oh well, one more day and that's over with.

TARDIS is ready, freddy!  Let's get a move-on.

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Time for me to call it a night. Took my nightly meds plus the antibiotics the doc has me on plus my 100 unit insulin shot. I'm feeling the effects of all that and I'm still feeling strange from this morning so it's time to head for the bed. See y'all tomorrow.

Evening all!

Chief - the resistance worked - it was 71 here at 7 pm. Sending it your way.

Jeffrey - great weathering. Sorry about the storms - unintended consequence of repelling the cold air back north - might be the reason for page 35 lockup also...Laugh

Busy week this week.

Have a great evening all!

Hey its under warranty and there paying for shipping both ways except first time then I paid to ship it there. so they have paid to ship to me 3 times and to them this will be the second time. This time they think its hard drive problems I said why don't you just give me a new putor and use this one for parts lol

I hear that. I had a recurring hard drive problem for more than a month. I took the hard drive out and tested it five times. Checked out A+ every time. Problem turned out to be a loose connector on the EIDE cable. Replaced the cable, no more problem.

Still seeing nasty weather here with more to come. So far we've gotten heavy rain, wind and hail. The hail was pea size so more noise than anything else. More big stuff coming so it's time to duck again.

The weather here is getting nasty and the radar picture doesn't look good. I was outside working on my van seeing if I can get the automatic choke to work properly. I kept hearing this sound to the west like a long train passing. Well, the tracks here are to the east so I knew it wasn't that. One look at the sky told the story. 2:15 in the afternoon and it looked like 5:30. Heavy clouds coming from the west and the noises growing ever louder. I know it's thunder but it's steady. No a good sign. I've got everything here tied down. We'll see how it goes.

Sorry guys, I must confess it was I. Ashamed Black Eye

I tried to embed the clip from the local tv station since the forum software didn't like the stations call letters on the link in my earlier post, K.U.S.I. w/o the periods of course. When it seized up last nite I sent an e-mail notification to Bob so he could inform the tech crew this morning.

It is cold and damp here, rain this afternoon and the snow level down to 3,000 ft level. Local mountains had a couple inches on monday and could see 5+ tonight.

V8 Dennis, I was trying to reply to an earlier post of yours re posting pictures on the new ogr forum but it backfired on me and did not go through.  To answer your question, I tried it once following thier instructions with the help of my son and it worked.  Since then I have been unalble to do it again.  Maybe you will have better luck.

A Yankee I'm sure. Wink  Think things broke.  I suddenly had to sign in again and the message was they were running maintenance.  Hey, maybe site will be faster.  Glass is half full and not half empty. Yes

Extra warm.  Greenhouse fan is running off and on.  Supposed to be warmer tomorrow.  

Still got fishing tresspassers at pond.  Fred and I put up camera [he had been hauling for two weeks in his pickup] so we will see.  Put it where they could see it but think it was looking at deer feeder.  Also has metal case, cable and lock. 

Speaking of cameras, Midway USA has one on sale for $60.  Infrared flash.  Ordered two.  One for the rafters under the shelter and one to go up in the pecan tree behind the Box.  Smile, you are on candid camera.

Speaking of shelter.  Got up at 2:30 AM to pee.  Saw shelter motion spotlights on and motion spotlight at corner of shop [trigers when anyone enters fence].  Jumped into clothes and slipped out.  No wind so had to be a movement.  Could not find anything or anyone.  Now did not look behind things under shelter.  If anyone hiding, they saw the lazer dot bouncing off of walls, trees behind shelter and Box and all over the field behind the house.  They would have gotten the message.SurpriseAngry

Off to Raleigh to Dr. and meeting.

Good afternoon all,

It is slightly warmer in SE Indiana with temps in the 40s.  Been catching up on all the posts.  RI52, when there is just the two of us, the place does not get that dirty that much and so we do not have to clean as often.  That is how I got the free time on Sunday.  Submbob, sorry to hear about the new position, but it is always good to have a plan B.  Work goes well this week.  Lots of good news in the Indy car world this week.  Hopefully Sarah will get a sponsor to run the whole season with her new driver.  Sad to hear Vitor Meira will not be competing full time this season.  Had the pleasure of meeting him once.  Very pleasant person.  TBIL and I can drive after soccer tonight.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Good morning all,

Could not get page 35 yesterday.  Tried to respond to a post by Chief but don't know if it went through or not so I'll try again here.

Chief, I just wanted to say that I hope your blood oxygen level being low is just a temporary thing.  I have one of those devices for measuring 02.  It is called an oximeter and measures pulse (heart beat) and oxygen level.  Mine runs around 95 in the day time but is lower at night.  That is why I have to use 02 when sleeping.  Take care of yourself.
