Good morning all,

It is cloudy with light Shohizoing in SE Indiana.  Happy New Year to all, and a year full of trains and well-being to all on the Coffeepot!  May 2013 be better for all of us.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Happy New Year to Everyone

And... Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR....

It is a cold 30 degrees. Going up to 35 today with a few snow flurries.

Today is an easy day. I plan on relaxing and doing some reading. A few chores to do. Lunch and a nap will be nice.

Dining car is here with Cheerios for breakfast.

Y'all have a great New Years Day.

Chuck

Good morning. Happy New Year. It's 51° with 100% humidity. It's going to be a wet one today. The high will be 52°.


Looks like there will be plenty of rain today. Maybe the first day of the year will also be the wettest? Later I'll see what the rest of my family is up to. There's usually a New Years dinner or some such thing going on.

Happy New Year folks; although you all were late. Smile, Wink & Grin

My last day of vacation went by fast.  I built the table the wife requested, but I still need to stain and seal it.  That may be an ordeal since none of our base stores carry those items and finding it off-base will require some translating.  Oh well, that's part of the fun of living over here.  I was able to catch the end of some bowl games earlier this morning as well.  I'm looking forward to seeing some of the games while I'm at the office tomorrow morning as well. 

BOC - That is terrific news. Yes  I hope you have regained some of your weight.

Dennis - Yes, silence is always a sign something is afoot with the kids.  You were fortunate this time as anytime diapers come off there's no telling how ugly the situation might turnout. Ick!

Sayonara,

Joe

Happy New Year To all you Pot heads. Laugh Coffee pot that is.

18 Degrees but the sun is out. Going to 23 today.

Best wishes to you all for a safe and healthy new year 2013.

 Great news BOC Yes

 Potty trained is a wonderful thing when it comes DennisD.  It seems girls are faster at it than the boys.

 I hope you don't get washed away Jeffery. Boy we could sure use any form of H2O around here. The ground is still pulled away from the foundation on the house from the drought.

No big plans for today, just working on an idea for the hobo camp site.

Happy New Year boys!  The natives behaved themselves enough for me to get home to the wifey in time to see the ball drop.  Poor fifepup had to work the graveyard shift at the supermarket.  I shall spend more time wiring up buildings on the new section today.  I installed the K-Line front end loader in front of the rotary coal dumper, to "scoop up" any wayward black diamonds.  Will be looking for the K-Line operating dump truck at YORK.  Still need to install the bathroom sink under the benchwork.

Enjoy your day.

Oh, IdeaCool almost forgot, Demay since you are a day ahead of us, could you kindly reveal the 4-digit lottery picks...?

Hello all,

I'm still way behind on the Pot but I wanted to wish HAPPY NEW YEARS to one and all.

Thank GOD for the help he gave us in 2012 and may 2013 bring us all joy and happiness (and some new to us trains)

Much to do to prepare for the family pork & sourkraut meal at Dad's house so I gotta run

Prayers for those in need

Happy New Years day gang.  Eat plenty of blackeyed peas.  The more you eat, the richer you will be.  Never have been able to eat a million on New Years day. Confused

Happy B-Day LAZ, belly up to the bar boys. Beer  And many more.

New Years resolution.  Go visit Pat in VA.

Buckeye, smart Grandson.  Takes after his GrandMOTHER. Laugh

Fifey, give us some photos of the rotory coal dump.

Hunting news.  Fred shot a buck yesterday AM after I sent him to the canal stand.  Actually shot him by moonlight.  A few minutes before legal shooting time. Whistling  It was real bright with clear skies, cold and moon was high.  I was in the woods at 5:30 and could see to shoot then too.  No hunting today [last day of season] as light rain.

Enjoy the day.

PS: yesterday was the first time this winter we had mud holes that the water was frozen.  Unbelievable.
