Congrats on being off for the summer; I know the feeling. A mandatory retreat end of the month and classes in Sept. How do you think you did on the finals?
As far as fishing see if your friend who invited you has some extra tackle and would be willing to share. Just offer to relace what gets lost.
RT hows the job hunting going?
All take care

Hourly wages start at $7.50 an hour, you would think with all the extra costs employers would give you more an hour, sometimes all you get is just the hourly wage-NO Benefits-not even paid sick days!!!! How yucky can a state get!!! I guess it is NO wonder that Florida leads the nation in corruption!!Lee F.

Even walmart will have good brands of tackle and rods. Not sure if the Delaware is salt or fresh, but if its fresh, you have come to the right person. I do salt fish in the marsh off the coast of Georgia, catching spot tail and flounder, but im a river and pond fisher. The property I live on in Georgia has 700 acres of unspoiled hunting land and 7 ponds. They have catfish, Georgia giants (they're a hybrid thats similar to crappie and bluegill) red breasts, and largemouths, as well as one having plenty of crappie. I buy most of my stuff from local bait people and sometimes the ol' bass pro shop in Savannah. I also fish the Canoochee river, a small freshwater river. But the Deleware, hmm, I dont know how to fish there.

Sir James I: That Sounds good. We have an OK meet in Ann Arbor just before Thanksgiving, right after the Lansing meet. Last year one of the venders spent too much in Lansing, and marked 30-new lionel cars at 1/2 price. I picked up a Christmas Present Dump Car MIB for $40.
Keep me posted.

Evening All
Hope all is well.
Buckeye-I didn't know you were in the movies
I bet Cheif was too as some point.
Had Grand kids this evening, no trains, just lots of playing around. Daughter's car broke down again, so lending them my Civic They think of cars as rolling trashcans, and I admit I am OCD when it comes to my cars!
Any ideas of things to see in Huston Tx? My wife and I are going down in the middle of August, should be nice and warm.
G'nite all
Kurt,
I was working out the details of our meet with my friend. Maybe Gratiot Valley meet, first Sun. in nov. in Warren. Toledo has a very good zoo. enjoy.

Sir James I: Sorry I'm going to have to back out of the NMRA Convention at COBO. I just received e-mail that Saturday is Go Diego/Fischer Price day at the Toledo Zoo. I'll be busy. My daughter is crazy about Dora, and Diego.
Good thing I didn't register.
Is anyone a member of NMRA?
Lee,
I would love Florida in Jan.&FEb. I've lived my life where it snows and boy am I tired of it, but Fla. not for me.some place with a short winter would be nice but my kids and grandsons are here and I would not move away.Except for jan/feb and I would take my time coming back.Lowest gas price I saw today reg $3.15.
Evening everyone,
Stopped at Cool Trains and picked up the Lionel Burro Crane that I had preordered. It's PRR and looks nice, didn't try to run it yet as I have to clear a loop since it is conventional. Thinking of puting electronics in a work caboose to run it with TMCC, only problems is it has a pullmor motor which requires a bigger board.
Also picked up 4 Weaver fishbelly 40' flats. Nice, now I have to make up some more loads.
Take care,
evening all; Saw the picture of buckeye"front row center" was suprised. somehow he sounded taller to me.
Again rain all over the place but not here 40 miles away1.5in. 5 miles away its pouring now. Didn't get to trains today, instead went to the grocery store and after looking at beef prices I cried all the way home. I know feed prices have gone up but like gas my buying is going down.So nobody wins. REGARDS, Sir James

OK...That was before I had my fashion sense...
Seriously. I think I went to highschool with the girl in the picture...Is it OK to say girl...we were still in high school.
Do you have any more information on the photo???

Brent, this new software is the pits. If it wasn't such a great site with the folks (most of them), I wouldn't bother. Besides, since the stars are gone, posts don't matter.

Rich, sent the link again. It is worth checking out. PS: LOD for a RPFD ladder man who died after a mutual aid call to Bogota.
