Brent, 

Whoa, talk about a bad hair day !

[Anonymous]

OK... I've been put up to this by Susan... she has been insisting that I do this for a few days now.... ever since she saw Buckeye's avatar...



She thinks Buckeye looks like the fella in the front row, center...

She also said she hopes our son, if we have one, is as cute as Buckeye in the pic (she hasn't seen a pic of him today, so we'll keep her in the dark!)  LOL! 

.....

So while searching for an appropriate picture of the Lil' Rascals, I found this... took me a few minutes to stop laughing... if you haven't seen this it is a famous pic that has been circulating the net for a few years... rumor has it this is a family from Michigan...

Evening everbody, hows everybody doing?

Jim, where you going fishing?

[Brutus]

Thanks!  I should be back Sunday morning sometime.  I'll take the digital camera, but I'll have to figure out how to stretch the picture to make the fish look bigger and my gut look smaller

[Blueberryhill RR]

Hot in St. Louis today + high humidity!  Getting ready for a couple days off fishing, leaving tomorrow.  Got a new coupler from Lionel in the mail for my LL 0-6-0 today, which was pretty fast service!  Also got my new CTT - looks great!  No nuke popcorn tonight, John.  But, I've got a big bag of Chex Mix, the kind with honey roasted peanuts.

Jim....I hope you have good luck fishing. Have fun.

Kpolak,

I already have an XBOX360. I have the good one with the wireless controller, the hard drive, all those electronic features. I think I might go with the TV, or I think I'm going to get the 120GB Hard Drive.

[kpolak]

Chief, perhaps you can come over to the caboose and say hey, with your southern hospitalitie. Nobody has posted in almost 2 days, seems like people still like the pot........ Hmm well post were you want, but remeber, anybody is welcome the the caboose.

Thanks Dennnis, could you re-send that?  I did'nt get it this time...??? E-mail is kinda wacky...

 Hey all, the following is a short message from my youngest brother.  I was hoping you all could say a little sumthin' for him whilest he's doing his thing in Afghanistan.  It is short term considering..but a little extra help never hurts!! Thanks!

I deploy to Afghanistan this week - with a return expected next February.

Please pray for not only my safety, but also the safety of the 70
international NATO soldiers working for me. I want all of my men to return
alive and healthy by the time our tour is up. I do not wish to lose anyone
under my care / responsibility.

Also pray that I and the other Christians will be a good witness.

Finally - pray that we do our job so well - that we directly contribute to
the defeat of the Taleban. We need wisdom, discernment, and knowledge to
predict what the enemy will do, where he will operate.

Please also pray for our families we leave at home - for their safety and
comfort. We will be gone during Christmas, New Years, special events with
our children and many other important dates - such as my (and Rebbie's) 20th
wedding anniversary!

love, Douglas

And about them Suthern Girls......have I got stories.... (YIKES!!!)

Rich

Rich, there is a disparity amoung suthern girls.  It is easy to tell if you will be met by a top grade Southern Belle, or if you are facing off with the queen of the trailer park.  Just smile, when they smile back, Teeth=Southern Belle, no teeth=Trailer Queen.

BTW, sent you a email about a group with Fire Photos in NJ.

Since Yalls heddin' to Alabamie, and 'll have a hankerin' fer some barBEquue.  Swagger on inta, 'n kick the mud offin yer boots at Dreamland BBQ, in Montgomery.  Sauce and a slice of bread on the side.

Nawthern translation:  Dreamland BBQ has good eats!

Doug!  A daily attender again...Glad things are looking up.  so to speak.

[kpolak]

I'm still deciding what I would like to buy. If I save my money up from working, I could buy a nice flat panel tv, or a newer XBOX360 Elite.

Colin,

We are having trouble with the DVD optic drive again (3rd time it will need to be sent back since April '06) in our 360...Rumor has it that the Elite has the same problems.  Check out the 360 forums before you buy.

Don - Have you been foolin' us 'bout where you live?   Sounds a little like W Virginny to me!!

 Buckeye - Maybe Don B is getting sassy as a prelude to an earthquake.  Dogs and cats supposedly get all worked up before a big one hits.

I think what makes the Chief look so good is that the John Deere tractor is from either Iowa or Illinois where the original John Deere plow was made. Nice to know that the Chief recognizes quality products made in the great mid west, NORTH of the Mason Dixon line!

[ChiefEagles]

Tell me that there is no chance that I will be in Alabama the same time as the Chief.  Everything was going so good and now I learn this.

No, I'm going next month to "fix" things for your arrival.  Have items to round up.  Tar, feathers and a split rail are just a few items.

 

88, I too have wondered why the Chief needs a John Deere.  The 42 goats he owns should be able to take care of his lawn.

My back yard inside the fence is larger than the house lot.  Most folks think my fenced in yard out back [with shop, garden, greenhouse and 5 bay shed] is someone else's yard.  Also, all neighbor's yards to mow.  Now the MAYOR looks sharp on a riding JD.

  

I have been drinking coffee here for over three years. Just because a new place opens down the street, doesn't mean I will just up and move.  I have my own personal cup and chair, and fortunately (or unfortunately) I know the owner of the place.  In fact, I was one of the first ten people to walk into the original coffee shop.  It was a sad day when we abandoned it at the first of this year, but we did get a new one that is much bigger.

Yes, I remember when there was mainly Buckeye, Tom P [Spankybird] and Elliot F [Bigboy] and myself talking to each other.  Posts on CTT were few and far between.  Man, we have come a long ways with some great friends helping us make this a busy site.

HUMM, dog he might be.  Cat, he is not.

Buckeye...Are you saying that Chief..is a Southern goat herder ??

I don't know if he should be labeled a goat herder.  He may have some chicken coops in the front lawn, too.  And of course the pigs that live under the porch.

Good morning all!

Doug - welcome back! Did you get my e-mail about Chicago?

Alabama here I come!!!

 BTW, it was round trip tickets.

Buckeye - roundtrip was not a choice. It is the only way we let nawtherners visit.

Roy !!    How silly of Buckeye to pay for a roundtrip ticket !!  He must have forgotten they will buy him a ticket to get back home with !!  

Thanks, John

Good morning everyone,

It has been a quiet week so far. It's been warm and humid, which is what I don't like. I wish it would cool down a little. 

I woke up late this morning, which wasn't a bad thing, as I have been missing sleep the last few days. I had breakfast, and then hit the weights. I have been watching Top Chef, and some of the dishes look delicious. We had a little rain last night, nothing much. Sadly, it wasn't enough to cool the temperature down. It's really humid here.

I had a bunch of friends over last night. We watched the movie Jack@ss 2, and then watched the shows 401, and Scarred. Everyone left at about 12 this morning, so it was a long, fun night.

I'm still deciding what I would like to buy. If I save my money up from working, I could buy a nice flat panel tv, or a newer XBOX360 Elite.

Well, I hope everyone has a good day.

Gonna be 94 today and sunny. Some t-showers yesterday. None in my area.

Have a great day all!

Morning all.  Got .65 inches of rain.  Most we have had at one time in 3 months.  Some south of us in Raleigh and south got flooded.  Need one of those to fill the pond back up [down about 1 1/2 feet].  Until last week we had not had a total of .6 inches in two months.  Thank the Lord.   Got more to come as front coming our way and may stall.  Got to go to Lowe's and get more paint.  Soundboard soaks it up fast.  Using roller.  Load it up, and only get about three streaks and have to reload. 

Now guys, we have to give the Kid a chance.  Remember one several years ago?  We worked with him and he turned out to be a great guy.  Takes some patience.

Nephew's birthday so off to SIL's this evening for a meal.  Probably deli sandwiches, I'm sure, and I furnish cucs and tomatoes.

YUZ GIZ noticed that Don B has been getting rather sassy lately.  Guess it is the West Bank Fever with all those CA blondes around.

Sure glad to see ole' Doug M back.  Did you say you still had somemore "tuning" of the eye to go?

Time for hotdogs and a Gene Autry western on Westerns Channel.  Then go to Lowe's.  Got my priorities down pat.   OH BTW: Buckeye reminds me, got to book my flight to Alabama too.  Got to go harass Dr. John.
