Happy New Years!!
Boy...Remind me never to go to the grocery store on New Years Eve!! It was nuts out there!!
The traffic was nuts. The people in the grocery store were insane. Some times I wonder about why I do this to myself
BUT!!

Happy and Healthy New Year to all.
Good evening all,
Well said, Dougnotagrump and Buckeye. Chuck was a true gentleman and one who could be counted on to soothe things down here when needed. Wife and I went to see Star Wars. They did a nice job with it. Got the chair for my desk fixed as well. No water under the house. Normally we get together with some friends as we have the past 20 or 30 years, but they were both too ill to attend. I wish all of you the best for 2016. Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
We did lose some great friends this year Chuck at top of the list and we also lost Boxcar bill just recently unexpectedly to us. We need to look back and look at the past year the good and the not so good. Count our blessing and look forward to the new year as to our plans continue thru the new year.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

The Train

At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of our life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum.
Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.
Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey for 2016 on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey.
Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.
Happy New Year !

Afternoon all from Southern Ohio
Still overcast and low 40's. Feels colder in the garage working on the truck.
SJ-Don't worry about running the bid up, my limit is not too high.
Chief-The software for the pot does seem odd. After just coming back a month or so ago I noticed it was different but I did not realize it was a newer format as well. It does not seem to work as well as I remember the old format or the diesel truck forum I frequent.
My new year's plan call for going to be before midnight as I start dayshift Friday which means up at 5 am.
All stay safe and have a blessed new year!
Jim
ChiefEagles BTW: this software is horrible. Why I don't post here much. Changed size and will not change back.

Chief, I find that happens to with some stuff I try to cut and paste here. And I have to do that because there is no spell checker on this software. Seems I can paste okay from MSword but if I cut and try to paste from anything internet it will not allow any changes. The strange thing is if you go into a PM Here everything works fine even spell checker???? Who knows?
I had the same kind of thing with the guy who put in our driveway and foundation dig work. I asked and asked for a itemized bill for two years then just gave up. I had already given him the 15K he said it would cost. The next year at Christmas he sends me a bill for another 9K with a letter from his laywer. I told him to bite me, He settled for 5K. I had to sell my 1968 428 Fairlaine to pay it off.
Sent the wife to town for meds. Hope they work.
Happy New Year!!!!!

Happy New Year all,
started the day with home made ham,cheese and egg bisquits. Yum yum.
All set for the rose bowl tomorrow and the parade in Pasadena. Will watch it on TV. Probably will be cold for the people who stay overnight on the sidewalk. Good luck!
Wondering son is back home for the holiday. All is well.

Afternoon all. Still raining. Inches in the last few days. Warmest December and wettest since 1887. Woods flooded down east. Have to wade to deer stands. Going tomorrow morning early. Last day of season.
Hope all have a great New Years. Suppose to eat pork, blackeyed peas and collards. Better eat a lot of blackeyed peas. Suppose tog et a dollar for each one you eat.
Interesting situation:
Guy put a new heat pump/A/C unit in the Train Box three years ago. Never billed me. I kept going by and asking his wife [she is bookkeeper] for a bill. She said hubby had to do it. Did this about every two months for a year. Nothing. Next year I saw him in restaurant twice. Said, "Nice of your to give me a free heat pump." His reply, "OH, I'll get you a bill." Stopped at the office once again and asked. Nothing. Well, this year [number 3] I quit asking. Last night I get a text. "You had asked me for an invoice for heat pump many moons ago." "I found an old one." "It is for $3,600." "If I get it to you tomorrow, will you pay it then." My reply, "No, I will after the first of the year." "Just paid property taxes on home and farms." Should have told him, will in 3 years. But a debut is a debut. There goes my guns and trains funds.
Will try and get a new Pot for a new year started tonight early.

Happy New Years Eve all!
Partly sunny/hazy and might hit 50 today. Back to low/mid-40's tomorrow.
Small gathering for food and adult beverages at our house tonight.
Have a great day all! Be safe!
Regards, Roy
Good moring from overcast and 40F Southern Ohio
Its dry right now. Going to Mass this afternoon but before that going to get back to the truck injectors.
I've got a bid on a pre-war AF set, I'm not going to go crazy right now money wise. Christmas is all paid for, but untill the job status firms up we'll be prudent.
Got to go.
May God bless
Mornin' boys. Clearing and 48 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. We had 10 straight days of rain, and it does weigh on folks. I managed to skip away again to visit my folks in WV. Ate well. Then returned for my baby-sitting duty, but princesses are being a big help.
Certainly hope '16 brings changes in latitudes (or in our case, altitudes...)
Dull dull and dull is our word for today. Supposed to get to the mighty goose egg then fall to 26 by evening here...oh...a 40% chance of little tiny snowflurries as well.
Tonight both of us are heading to church and getting home in time for the Potluck here...this year our neighbour to the north of us are hosting it...
I got up early this morning because I still have things to get for tonight...sigh.
Chloe, I'll have a couple of eggs scrambled with some potatoe wedges and coffee please...I''ll be at the RC for now.
---------------------------------------------
Guys...this --ern.-- cold will want to stick around. I have had this going on to 5 flipping weeks now.
Evening all!
Staying pretty busy the last few days. Weather here has been pleasant but cool.
Our old mutt still hanging in there. Losing some control of her back legs. She has lasted a lot longer then the vet predicted.
Have a great day tomorrow all!
Quiet day. Paid the Visa bill and got the water from under the house with the sump pump. Woo-hoo! Did very little else. Did run the HO train a bit tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Evening all from warm (40'sF) and dry for now Southern Ohio,
I worked on the truck today and got the fuel injectors on the passenger side in and will get the valve covers and all the stuff back on tomorrow hopefully then go on to the driver side. I start day shift Friday so the truck work will pause till I get off Monday.
Hope you guys start feeling better soon, try drinking some apple cider vinegar in water. It will help you kick the bug.
Time for bed, goodnight and may God bless
It's been about 2-3 weeks here also. With the cough hack etc.
And rain all day didn't help and having to have to go out in it. Want to do some wire wheel work on a couple of things with the dremel but need to goto the garage to do so but with this weather and the dampness no way with this cold I have. Looks like maybe Friday or saturday. Thats fine I have other work to do ie put a new smoke unit in a 675, rewire 3 whistle tenders and test them to see if they even work.
Have a good evening
Sounds like I'm not the only still fighting a cough and hack... going on 3 weeks for me fellas! The past two days I have finally seen improvement.
On the good news front... I have lost 20 lbs since I have been working from home. Guess eating out at lunch wasn't such a good dietary choice? LOL Also think not having the stress from driving is playing a rather large role as well. Can't tell you how much happier I am.

Sitting sick in front of the darn tube today. Hack, hack. It just makes me sicker how the constantly running media mouth can focus on the TV sitcom guy’s B.C.'s sex scandal thing more than the victims from the storms, tornados, flooding and lives lost all around the rest of the country in the last week. Just wrong! And is that news??? Not to me. Cough, cough. sorry just had to. Hack.
Got a couple of things done this week. Ordered new gates for my driveway and today ordered new drapes for three rooms. Not cheap but overdue.
Wife is due for a permanent this afternoon so maybe I will get some free time while she is there.
Beautiful Weather but cool. Maybe a shower on Sunday.
later,
KRM Long day yesterday, just hack hack cough cough. Did not get much sleep either. This sucks. I would not want to be around me. Feel like someone kicked me in the chest. I did not know I could spread it through this forum but seems like it. Sorry Buckeye.

Thanks.......I know how you feel. Hack, hack. If you can get sleep it is the best thing. Cough, cough.
Blow out we have two solid black cats one is 21 years old now the other is about 11 and is my little princess she sleeps on my arm at night. She is daddy's little girl. for the longest time Donna (wife) could not even touch her she would slap at her. She is very possive of me. She won't let the other cats in my room it is funny. I brought her into the house and she has been grateful ever since.
Not a lot going on today as Kevin was say I picked up two K-line S-2 last night for $30 and a set of Santa-Fe SD-18 for $30 also when there giving them away you can't turn them down. and they stated tested and ran fine.
Morning guys,
28 degrees with a fresh 1.5" of snow on the ground.
Wife is still sleeping, bet she is glad I got up so she can get some quiet.
Lucy is a nice looking cat BOC!
RT, nice scores on the Bay! This is a good time to shop there. I had to quit, I still need to pay for the re-chrome on the T160 Trident header.
Buckeye Riveter KRM Hi guys, Cloudy and cold is the word but better than yesterday. A case of the crud is setting in I am afraid. Cough cough hack hack!! DITTO for me too.
