Hey RT, reported to the gang you had found and bought a place in Tenn.  Good luck on the job search.

Well, since Buckeye with drew from the Mayor's race in Roseyville, I have won by default as no one filed against me [filing ended at 12 noon today].  Election is first Tuesday in Nov.  If I get one vote, I'm in.  Do I want to vote for myself? Wink [;)]  Town staff called and wante dto know if thye are now to call me Boss Hog???  Told them to find my white caddy with the horns on the hood. Laugh [(-D]

Rain has still not gotten here.

Later

Morning all.  Someone must have read my post on software.  Running good.  I'm on Road Runner and Time Warner keeps testing my cable and OK.  I even check my speed and it is fine.  Thought it might be the new anti-virus software I'm running [CA from TM and free, works great] but got different software on laptop and it does the same.  So much for that.

John B, good luck.  Nick, building going up great.  Dennis, hope you got a big bag of GRITS to take along.  [don't let anyone know about your covert mission while Nawth of the MD, you are one of the special teams [like in Nam that went across into Cambodia].]  Sprinkled some a few minutes ago.  Hope the rain gets here as forecast.  Need some good down pours.

The Roseyville Div of the NS will be O/A for a while. Sad [:(] Frankie can not help me put down soundboard.  Will do it my self.  So, will shut down one complete side, do it, then move to the other and finish in the backroom.  Kind of sad but will be back up real soon.

Have a great day.

Hey Guys.   Tried to post a few times last week but for whatever reason none of them would post.  Took advantage of the "Polar Express" deal on the OGR forum so I'm waiting on that to come.  I wanted a plain old PE engine for my setup since I modified the original one with the ERR cruise commander. 

 Another pot type thread huh?  Geez I can't keep up with this one.  I wish them well but my mug is hanging on the wall here.  Been in and out of LA a lot.  Came back yesterday and going back tomorrow.   

Like I said sorry I haven't been able to post but it hasn't been for lack of trying. Stay safe all!

Good morning to all.

Kurt,  10 mins of rain won't do it, your going to have to do better than that.

On the medical thing,   the Detroit area gets a lot of people from Canada for treatment even though most have to pay out of pocket. It seems to be that people in real need have to wait to long for treatment there.

No train plans for today but I do have CTT to read.

                 Lots of good post today.              Sir James
