Hello there,
fryed eggs, toast sausage and scrapple for breakfast.
Winter won't let go. Dusting of snow over night, mid 20s with a stiff breeze this AM. Posed to get near 40 today.
Got lots o outside stuff needs done but it's always raining or snowing. Hope it warms up for York.
Got my new TCA card and York badges in the mail yesterday. Looking forward to shaking all your hands.
Between doc appointments and viewings this week the only thing I got done was filed the Federal income tax. Still need to do State and local. Maybe today .
Grandaughters soccer game canceled today due to mud and cold. Twirling competition tomorrow.
Best get on with the day.
Prayers for those in need

Mornin' boys. Cloudy and 37 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Couldn't keep my eyes open to finish watching the O's-Yanks game. Slept good, after not sleeping at all the night before. Just 2 trains this weekend.
Banks - I hope to be in York. Sent my form in.
Good evening all,
Very quiet day at work. You know, you read stuff on the web and you just shake your head. One person does something incredibly stupid and a whole group wants to form a boycott just to promote their set of opinions. I do not want to get more specific or the post might be deleted. Sometimes......I just do not know.... TK is starting 9th for AJ tomorrow night ("Matt" is 16th). I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

Mornin' FellasLast Saturday I decided to try and get the massive leaf piles that built up around the West and North sides of the house foundation. We got everything pulled or blown out and went to start the John Deere to mulch and clear them into the woods, only to find that the battery was dead. Put it on the charger and it got to 50% and then drained to 25%. Ordered a new one from Advance Auto (order went to CarQuest) only to find out they are both only open till 3pm on Saturday (WHY????), well I haven't been able to get to the store to pick it up and we had high winds on Wednesday. Well Mother Nature was kind enough to blow the piles on the West side back against the house, but the massive pile along the North side was 80% gone yesterday morning. So now it is raining and we may get some white stuff... I love trees, but dang they are a pain Fall through Spring!

Good Evening from overcast 39°F Southern Ohio,
I was nice but breezy today. I slept well, from 7:45 am to 2 pm. Got up and messed around the yard some before coming to work. I was able to catch an inning of Gabriel’s baseball game. A real advantage when the field is right next door. Hopefully over the weekend be able to take care of more brush piles. They are calling for drizzle and rain possibly snow on Saturday, so a fire would feel good.
Dennis – Happy Birthday
Good Night and may God bless
Jim
Dennis...........belated Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!
FIFE............you gonna make YORK??????????
Off t bed......
Happy Birthday, Dennis!!! Brent, as you described Christina over the years, I thought to myself how intelligent she must be. Her latest career aspiration only confirms my thinking. #14 is also my number and when she makes it to the pro level or the national team (or both!), I will do my best to attend one of her matches. Maybe by then the Chief will have changed his mind about that All American sport!!!!!! LOL I hope everyone has a good day.
Prayers for Hudson John's Wife Doray today!!
God's speed.
Evening all!
We hit 70 today. Warmer tomorrow and then a big front Friday night taking us into the high 30's. Whoa!
Don - prayers for you, Kay, and the inlaws
V8Vega - Any left?
88 - Big CONGAs to the Q!

Buckeye Riveter Dear Don, My cousin works for the IRS in California. Think about my reception and your future.
Dear Don,
My cousin works for the IRS in California. Think about my reception and your future.
My Dear Buckeye, You REALIZE of course, your talking about CALIFORNIA here, and your cuz works for IRS who? We pay them no attention here, we make up our OWN rules. And IF they were to get in our way. We would just bury them in Daisys and protest signs.
Boy did I ever come across a great deal! Found a MTH DCS system with the handheld for $50. Makes a great back-up.
Situation with In-Laws about the same, he is still in the VA hospital, she is restricted at home. Kay is running back and forth. Investigation is ongoing for a longer term solution. VA will probably keep him in an on campus residence for PT, before releasing him.
Hopefully the weather on the East coast will lighten up and turn to spring SOON.
Take care all and stay healthy!
Don
Happy Birthday Dennis!!

Hey, Dennis!!!
Happy Birthday!!!!
I am the monster in your head...And I thought you'd learn by now, It seems you haven't yet.I am the venom in your skin --- Breaking Benjamin
Sunny but cold! Again!!
Mornin' FellasDJ - yeah looks like Saturday is going to be lots of 'fun'. They're starting to talk of some significant accumulation here as well. I'm hoping for a repeat of Sunday night into Monday where they were calling for 2-4 inches and we got nothing!If it does snow, Christina is going to be very upset because it will be the second year in a row they will cancel 1st game of the soccer season. They had their first practice last Friday, it had rained (fine misty soaking rain) since Thursday so the field was a bit mushie. They kids were having a blast till the temp dropped 10 degrees in what seemed like seconds. Then there was a lot of 'I want to go home, I'm cold!' so they called practice after 30 minutes and handed out the socks and jerseys. Christina was happy as she got her #14. She has the same coach for the second season in a row as well, and she just loves him! He had her helping him show the other players moves and techniques. After practice TheQ and I were informed that Christina plans to play professional soccer when she grows up. Nothing like setting some really high goals for life! LOL! Dennis
Morning. Chilly earlier. Warming fast. Chores here today. Headed east tomorrow to farm.
Happy birthday Dennis.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENNIS!
Cold weather for walk today. Mostly quiet day at work. Brent, congrats on Q's promotion. Some much needed good news. I hope everyone has a good day.
A sunny but chilly 60 degree day. 70 tomorrow. Another front Friday night.
Sorry about the never ending winter up east...
Brent - I will be at York also. The NJ gang also plans to attend.
As Banks noted, it is looking good for the entire gang to meet at Cracker Barrel on the east side of I83 just south a couple miles from hwy 30 intersection. RoC has been extremely crowded last couple of Yorks due to a remodeling (in pieces as they stay open) and the NY TCA York bus crowds stopping there.
Sorriest ^~#$ software. Had to copy and paste quote. After reply with a quote, no curser. Refused to show.
Buckeye, I'll send him a bowl of nice hot grits and he will be fine.
Neighbor Butch and I drove to the WeatherTech Factory store in Bollingbrook IL today and we both got a set of the no drill mud flaps....Nice stuff for the $86.00. I am looking at their bed cover, but it is kind of costly compared to the Fold-A-Covers I have had on the last two trucks. Still don't know what I want to do there. All in all a fun time to two old farts.
Woke up to a cover of white stuff. It will only get to 40 today. That should get rid of that.
DJ, good luck on the lights,,,,must be the season for car problems!
Brent, congrats to your wife! Now you can lay back and be a house husband.
Thinking of just sitting on the fence with wife's car and saving up for a 2020 Ford Bronco. I am sure I won't get crap for it in trade the way it is. So just drive it. Too bad the stock market is in the dumps and I don't see any daylight there with the things being run the way they are. So I won't be able to pull a replacement car out of that anytime soon. Guess that party is over.
The good thing is we have the new Colorado and the old Ranger we can use and wife is no longer driving that 100+ miles a day to and from work. So we will get by.
Best get going.
