Doug,
What city was the camp close to? I can tell how far away it is from Greensburg, but I don't know of any real close to here. There used to be a Boy Scout camp close to Madison, but I don't know if it still operates or not.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Laz57 - thanks, brother. Just can't get my day started without reading how "Laz-camp" went.
88 - thanks for the links,B.
dbaker48 - Mrs. fifedog does read 88's "to do" list. AND she has visited El Rancho Liester, to witness the progress first hand. I had to stop somewhere and get her a double-dip icecream cone on the way home, because all I was hearing was "Brent does this---Brent does that---blah-blah-blah..." Gotta hand it to him, he tackles every task first rate. When he does get around to that layout, watch out!!!

Good morning everyone,
Brent, congrats on the hopefully new person in your life. How much is that surge proector that you looked at for your computer?
Well, it is going to be a really hot day here. Another day that I will not do outside work.
I hope everyone has a good day!

Glad to see you are back up and running... now go get a high quality surge protector and protect those electronics!
Brent - You gotta slow down your wearing me out, with the shed, all the projects done, etc.. Your setting that bar to high!! I'm glad my wife doesn't read this forum.
BTW advise --- next time you make a list of projects, start off with at least 15 or 20 that are already complete, that way you get a sense of achievement lot sooner.
SLOW DOWN

Yes! 1978 all over again!!!! It's like a Nam flashback for Pete's sake!
No need to apologize for being a Yankee fan. People can't help the way they are born. We are all God's children. Even Yankee fans.
Chief, drink plain water. Better for you in that heat. And hey, it could be worse. It could be me in that heat!

22LR, 22MAG or .17HMR works better.
Morning all. Today will be a day of peace and quite. Jimbo is in a training class. Wonder if they give him treats after every new trick he learns? Isn't that what you do when you are training a DOG? Hey Flordia Gang, think NC is going to be hotter than you all. Triple digits again today. So hot and humid this AM you can see it. Smells damp but no rain. Got to cut soundboard outside so the sweat will pour. Sweet ice tea time. Doug, thanks for the tip on the wallpaper glue. Got two big bottles of the Elmers I bought when I got the lumber two years ago. Time to hit the heat. Have a good one.

HI GIZ,
Hot and muggy again to get to 95. Early this morn about 4 got a t storm and about half inch o rain. Didn't get as hot as they wanted yesterday only 89 but dew point of an opressive 79 degrees, like the weather guy TOM the WRONG said feels like a rain forrest out there. Still nursing my oblique muscle, slept pretty good last nite, getting better.
BRENT, CONGA on the news. Got to get another TCA membership form?
MITCH, nice pics on the school. good luck.
FIFE, glad your running again.
Stay cool.

Fife - I got it! yes they do. Check out BestBuy.If you have a home theater, I highly recommend the Moster products as they provide a warranty for the components. If you can splurge a little a line conditioner, which regulates the power more cleanly and removes the RFI and EMI from the current, will provide a much crisper sound and video. I'm asking for one for X-Mas this year! This is what I want for my home theater...http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8296952&st=surge&lp=4&type=product&cp=1&id=1172881564111This is what I want for the computer:http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BR1500
Finished 2nd table last night, oldest came home, the girls are "away", helped finish up the table says, Dave & Busters eat & play deal all night tonight. Off we go, nice waitress spent $40 on dinner and play cards. Home by 9:30
Shootin' for a record today was 100 may get there today...90% humidity. Thank GOD I don't work outside like I used to! Stay safe cool y'all

88 - Here, have another cup of coffee dear...'cause that last one went right over your head...
Thanks for the advice, but unless they make surge protectors for phone lines...and the way that bolt ripped up the earth around the tree, I'm just glad that's all I lost.
Mornin' boys. Back in business! Saucey outside already. Let the collie out for 10 minutes;came back in with a "that's all I'm doing today" look.
mitchelr - my middle daughter uses the term e-ddicted. Nice school photos. BTW, did you visit Romney yet?
POLAR EXPRESS fans, listen up! I went to my local Michael's this weekend, and of course they already have their Halloween stuff on display already. LEMAX has an item called Halloween Wolf Pack ($19.99). It has 5-6 wolves perched around a den cave, and is lit up with a soft blue light. It is a must have for anyone doing a Polar Express themed layout. Check it out. I was almost tempted to purchase one myself, but went for the trashcan bandits and Gazette paperboxes instead.
88 - gotta ask...Which work do you need the break from...?

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a warm 76 degrees with sunshine. Going up to 93 today with sun and a chance of a later shower.
Today is grocery shopping day. I will drive to Cambridge and see how the prices have gone up in the last week. Gas is still at $2.78 a gallon there. The price in Caldwell is usually 20 cents higher. Only 15 miles apart.
No time for trains today. I need to finish up the mowing in the front yard. Got the rest mowed, yesterday.
Dining Car has arrived and breakfast is served. Usual menu.
Y'all have a great Wednesday.

Good morning from New England where the news is grim. The Red Sox lead is down from 14.5 games to 5. Word is, the team will relocate next year to the Phillipines and be named the Manila Folders...
Aiy yiy yi!

Up at 4:00am...youngest was hungry. Got new ceramic smoke unit into the 2025, and made a pot of Gaspacho. Hopefully I will have time to put those new rectifier disks into the ZW today...
Morning to All.
Just made a fresh pot. Heat & humidity continues unabated. I just love August.
88 - Congrats to you and Susan. Enjoy the graduation. Hope the sailing gets gets smoother. The shed is moving along really well.
Fife- "e-purgatory" LOL - the Mrs. about went crazy when the computer and internet was down. When I first got a computer years ago, I couldn't get her to use it. Once she started, I now have to beg for a few minutes on-line. My son is a total addict. He starts hyperventilating when he hasn't been on-line for 30 minutes.
Chief - Hope you have a great visit with Dennis and Dr. John. This is your first travel in a good while isn't it?
I have included a link to a little web page I created to show some pictures of the new school. Nothing fancy, but thought I'd share.

Hi everyone !! Just home from work, headed to Jim's, since The Chief probably finished off all the popcorn !! I'll pick up some treats for Chewey !!
88 Brent : congratulations early too !! We were married for almost 2 months & the wife got awfully sick, took her to the emergency room & that's when we found out she was pregnant ! We couldn't believe it, since she said a Dr. before told her she would never get pregnant again !!
Well, good night everyone !!
Thanks, John
Evenin' All !
88, Congrats , it has been a long while back but my wife went thru h**l initially. The only thing she could keep down was BLT's and wouldn't you know it all kinds of family came down to visit. Of course they all had to take us out for dinner, here we are all eating all kinds of hi-end foods and she has to get a BLT. We both agree that it was truly worth it. Especially since we have a grandchild who is an absolute joy. He will be spending the nite with us on thursday so we will be sharing a pizza and watching the garden train run.
Chief, Got a suggesstion for your soundboard, instead Elmers glue how about Vinyl Wallpaper Paste.
PS- DougM, that deep dish pizza looks darn good, I haven't made one in a long time, think I'll dig out my bread making cook book.

Well, Hot Fuzz was pretty funny but BLOODY! Lots of character actors you've seen before plus Timothy Dalton - didn't know he was in it. Prayers for those miners.
We've had 100 degrees each day and supposed to be that way until the weekend, when a cool wave moves in and we get down to 98....
Oh, Blueberry Hill - those Docksiders are very nice locomotives. You won't be sorry if you get one! I've got 3. One came with a bad coupler, but Lionel mailed a new one and I had it in a week.
John S - there is left over chicken in the fridge, but getting low on treats. I think there is a bag of popcorn left though!
TTFN
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Evenin' boys. Just dropping in again to check the board. Missing the coffee pot, but I've been spending my time in e-pergatory working on the layout. I have mocked up some of the town and finished the Eckhart Jct. bridge.
Thanks for the "basket of cheer" cnw1995,mitchelr,laz57,et al. Ms. Kelly installed the new modem tonight, but tells me the Dish DVR is also acting up...fun-fun-fun.
88 - my shed is looking good. Oh, and BTW, nice shooting partner...
OH NO!!!! Another Brent coming into this world.
Evening all. Finally got three sheets [5X4] of soundboard down to get one layer on right side of big room. Used big bottles of Elmers waterproof carpenter's glue and put big box in middle. 30 minutes later, stuck down good. No screws. Kept getting phone calls every time I came in the house. Now got two meetings Thursday AM. Sure was hot today. Guess the phone calls gave me time to cool down as cutting sheet outside. Could cut them with sharp utility knife. I did some trimming with my floding knife I carry on my belt. Main problem is getting sheets upstairs and in doorway. Setup saw benches and Craftsman roller stands. Put sheet of plywood on sawbenches to give support. Cuts with fine toothed jigsaw blade. I did cut upside down to insure smooth cut on up side. Hope tomorrow to get lots done. Think I will turn phone off. Popcorn time.
Brent: That's great news! We (she) just had our second...about 6-months ago. Still not sleeping thru the night.
My wife had the nausea, but not the cravings. We'd be off to a party or something, she'd get sick in the hosta's next to the car and say, "OK let's go!"
Good luck to the both of you!...Let's see....that would put you out about March 17???
