fifedog What a joke. Can someone please help me find those last 4 hours of my life. I'd like them back. There were 42 other drivers, but FOX would have you think otherwise. Gonna have to find something else to do on Sundays 'til September. BTW, Johnson in the #48 won.

Fife,, Correct! I would be hard pressed to find someone who could say that Jimmie Johnson is not the best of the lot the last 10 years. JMHO
All in all a good race.
BTW FOX=

Good afternoon all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 30s. After the Danica 500, I went outside and cut up a large tree limb that had broken off the tulip poplar tree. Princess Sparkle Pony did ok. Probably will not watch any more races. They talked about all the lead changes, but was there ever one on the track during a green flag. Maybe a few as one lane was faster than the other. Finished up the puzzle we were working on last night. Good to hear from you, Dennis W. TBIL and I can drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
It's a gloomy 37
I watched the last 6 laps, saw whats her name come in 7th, not a bad finish. Granny's at church and I'm gonna go watch TV. Banilla will be waiting for the Tardis..S.J.

Just home from MPLS visiting our almost five month old Grandson and Grammie who took care of him last week and will next week also. Really had a great time but driving from DM to MPLS is sure boring and that's a good thing at this time of year.
So I DVR'd the race today ........... should I watch it or just hit delete? I did have a good visit with Mr. Eagles on the way home, we did solve a few world issues so improvements will be noticed soon in everyone's neighborhood, you may not notice them at first but just be patient.

So many roads, so little time.
Sunny and about 40 today. Rumor has it that the snow cannon is pointed this way and the trigger will be pulled tomorrow afternoon again.
Watched Daytona today. The new cars look like they have different dynamics than the older ones. I'll bet that the teams are still learning about them and the 'look' of the racing will change as the season progresses.
I picked up the 2013 RTR catalog yesterday at the LHS. I need to figure out how to get a hold of the hopper in the Rock Island freight set. The new remote control system for the starter sets looks interesting. I suspect that the manufacturing costs for it is lower than a CW80.
All for now.
Hello all
Cold and windy here in the Ol' Pueblo tonight.
Sitting up in the dining hall and I'll have to make this quick. The pre-Oscar's are on and I'm about to hurl
Well the Corvan is now over here at the house. The management approved and my friend Ron and I tried out his new (to him) car dolly and variable displacement Dodge hemi. Both
Hope to organize both the storage unit and the inside of the van tomorrow if the weather isn't too bad.
May run the Marx 999 after the meeting tonight.

Home. Will not go into the "blonde" thingy my Wifey did about picking me up. Will explain later. Has to do with not paying for her gas nor her IPhone [I do both]. I will go into it tomorrow. She is off the hook for now as she cooked me her great chilli. I'm going to eat.!!!!!
All you NASCAR male shamanist better be quite. The lady did good. Probably would have passed some at the end but the wreck stopped that. After all,she had the fast car. Finishing 8th at Daytona and never run that race before, is really good. Now NASCAR is not a male dominated sport. If you want to argue, I'll call your wife tomorrow and tell her what you are saying. Sleep in the dog house with no meals for a few.
Later.

Well put, Chief. I agree with you. Danica deserves the credit she earned.

Only cats and bachelors here.....Ms. Patrick did ok from what little I saw...in between Lawrence of Arabia and the old school Mission: Impossible. 8th place at Daytona is nothing to sneeze at. Kept her nose clean and out of trouble. On the Super Speedways, she will have to be reckoned with...we'll see about the short tracks.
Devils loose........didn't see the Arizona Nationals...but it's looking like Girls Day at the racetrack as Ms. Enders wins Pro Stock (Chevy...)

Got my laundry done this morning, had some pizza for lunch, did a little work on the layout then went to dinner at KFC with my father and his new companion.Time to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
Howdy guys! Well, I finished the wiring in the basement bathroom today. I dropped one of those porcelain lightbulb holders like builders put in and it shattered into a million bits. So I found another one and put it on - dropped it too! Third and last one was the charm - all out of those things now, lol! Also I drilled some skin off the palm of my left hand - yikes! Bit slipped and got me pretty good. But all the switches work and the light and outlet work, so it's all good! TARDIS is ready, but I'm just gonna eat banilla and watch the Oscars, so SJ or Mike can drive!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Brutus but I'm just gonna eat banilla and watch the Oscars,

Good morning.
School today. I'll buff the P-38 when I get home, and maybe some layout work if work doesn't get in the way this evening.
ChiefEagles Brutus but I'm just gonna eat banilla and watch the Oscars, You mean the commercial marathon. This was drawn out to well past its welcome. Unbelievable. Great show except some of the jokes were not jokes. Could not believe how long it went on.

Good Mornin' Y'all From Crystal Clear Cape Ann Taxachusetts,
The storms moved off overnight, and I dodged a bullet, only 2-3 inches of the white stuff here. Points 50 miles West and 30 miles Southwest of me got 6" to 8" while Southern New Hampshire 40 miles to the North and up into Maine a tad more......8" to 12". Definitely not deserving of the massive weather report overkill we were subjected to in the days leading up to this. Had the temperatures been 5 degrees colder, we would have gotten a lot more snow versus the rain which preceded it.
I will let the Lord do my snow removal on this one as the temps will lip 40 today. weather misforecasters already beating their drums for the next storm Wednesday.
Later, gang.
Jack
Good morning all. Still no snow here. Might as well just move onto spring.
I have nothing major on the books for work today, just a smigion of paper work, and what ever customers shuffle in. Makes for a slow day. In another month or so, it will break loose once poeple start the "Spring Cleaning " process
Hopefully construction picks up around here this year to generate scrap materials.
we'll see what happens.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR....
It is a cold 22 degrees. Going up to 48 today with sunshine.
Today is a busy day. Wife is running errands and I am doing a few chores. Then, I have a project to work on. Busy until lunch. Then, I can take a nice nap.
Dining car has rolled in with Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Monday.
Morning...
We have freezing fog here with a bit of sun peeking through the clouds every so often...
Have some things need doing today...again....dang bloodwork for vampire visit and other med appointments as well....sigh....

Morning. Off to a meeting. Back this afternoon. Death in Church family delays the trip to the lake house until later tonight. Visitation first. Later.
Hi GUYZ,
Great race yesterday. I think it would have been a lot better if there wasn't that wreck at the end. But DANICA DID finish 8th and thats great. I think I have a favorite driver now? DANICAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Ran trains last nite for an hour NO PILE UPs!!! Then watch Finding BIGFOOT. They didn't find him yet? Maybe next week? They will be in PA.
FIFE, yeah but she is good looking. Novelty for the race and the big story of the week. She finished and wasn't in a wreck.
Stay frosty my friends,

Aloha. Sunny and cold. Looks like snow tomorrow and overnight. Estimates all over the place. Looking forward to spring springing. Celebrated 'Tardy Christmas' with my brother's family yesterday. Caught the end of the big race, and watched a few 50 year old Doctor Who episodes instead of the awards. That P-38 model brings back memories of spending my allowance each week on a different Revell or Monogramm model - cars, planes, ships! Over the summers, I would generally blow them up.I still have a F-4 Phantom and A-36 Invader in my office...

Good morning. It's 61°F with 100% humidity. The high will be a wet 72°F.I'm still waiting for the last Atlas FP7 I ordered. The delivery estimate was between the 19th and 27th and that time is rapidly running out. There's no tracking number indicated so I can't tell where it is at this time. Maybe it'll come in today. If it doesn't no great loss. I only paid $20 for it.The possibility of any outdoor work today is pretty much nixed by the weather. The weather guesser says 80% (or more)chance of severe thunderstorms. It ought to be interesting.Layout work is on the agenda today. If I don't get it cleaned up a junk dealer will probably move in and take up squatters rights! There's locos, cars, cameras, tools, bits and pieces of projects and assorted junk all over.

Laz: Nothing is so good looking that I can stand to look at it for 4 yours. I agree with Fife. I want my 4 hours back! Spent my time reading wood working forums with the race on and didn't miss a thing. A few recks and Fox had to spend that time covering her. FOX must be on her payroll. As Fife said, after two more races you will ask "Danica Who?"

Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 40s. Quiet day at work. I do not mind. I can bad mouth the Princess all I want as the "saucy wench" does not like her either. She did about what I expected. Ran well and kept her nose clean. Did the same thing in Indycar. Occasionally she was competitive, mostly on ovals. Despite a road racing background, never really set the world on fire in that aspect. Wife watched the Oscars and I was on the computer. TBIL and I can drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
40 and Sunny here!
Just some running around to do today. Went for a nice long walk with the dynamic duo and the 2 of them behaved the entire time. Chester did not even sneak off to torment a dog that was barking from a picture window. Now the dining car arrived with the Frosted Flakes.
Ryan: That 3 1/2 legged cat is probably scared. It may warm up.
Kev: It is Ray's #1 Daughter who is expecting and they did not have the sex party yet. Ray wants to be surprised but knowing his family they will tell him.
Have a Great Day!

Temp is 34 with full sun. Everything changes tomorrow depending on whether we get more rain than snow. Out this morning to pay house and car insurance. Stopped at Walgreen's for milk and now you have to have another stupid card to carry around if you want the sale price. Idiots. That's my morning so far...S.J.
