Laz,
Sounds like a plan!  We can get together for some drafting sessions involving beer and train running!  Wink [;)]

Well I'm in between jobs right now. I'm waiting for the paperwork and background checks to be completed on my new job. The days are now long and I have to spend the day with teenagers. I hope I can get into the new job by the middle of the month.

On the good side of things I have completed some more detail work on the layout. So far I have finished two portals and started the detail work at the base of my many peirs. It is starting to look nice.

We had a very good rain yesterday and had over one inche in the water gauge. That will make the corn grow not mention the grass. 

I did order another train yesterday. It is a Candian National non power unit from MTH due out in Novemeber from the #2 catalog. 

I wish all those with problems the best.

RT - I must have missed something... what happened?  Sounds like you were let go at work?  That sucks!  Hope something comes your way soon!

Laz - I have a new project on the horizon... maybe I can contract out to you?  I need a custom built entertainment center for the family room.  Needs to accomodate a 55inch HDTV, have storage for CDs and DVDs and house the audio/video equipment.  My plans so far are 110 inches wide, 24 inches deep, 84 inches high.  Have it designed to be in 4 sections... bottom (just the riser) will have space to set the sides in place, two side units containing the CD storage in one and DVD storage in the other, then the top which spans the whole width 'locking' the sides in place.  The sides are actually three sections, think storage shelves three deep.  Outer shelves will be in a deep door, that when swung open you see the next set of shelves, behind this is a pullout (from the side) on pantry extensions.  Maybe I could get you to build the raised panel doors for me?

A quick stop.  Hope all is well.

RT, sorry for the news.  Perhaps God has a better job around the corner for you.  Will add you to the prayer list.

Zeke, hope you are progressing well.  I am sure you will have a few more visits after you leave the hospital so they can make sure all is as it should be.  You have a special girl in Jenny.

Chief, good luck with the mayor thing.  Perhaps you are taking on quite a load.....hope you don't have to start being nice to Yankees as part of your job.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great weekend.  Have a few long cases today and time to start.  Take care and God Bless,

Dennis

Cloudy.  Does that mean rain?  Who knows.  So dry the frogs and turtles at the pond are carrying canteens. Shock [:O]  Pond has dropped 2 feet in the past week.  Others around look the same as they are down too.

Got email from Dr. John.  He has added Zeke to his prayer list.  We need to remember Dr. John too.  His Mom is on the "down hill" side.  Lots of strain on him and his Dad.  Then  he has all the Church stuff too. 

Speaking of Zekie.  Anyone heard anything today?  Hope no word is good word.  Maybe he will sign on soon.

No. I must be doing something wrong. I can only get small applet windows to pop up. Nothing more. Screw it. Does anyone really want to read my unfiltered ramblings? I didn't think so.

Jim.... I have been on the chat site for the last few Fridays and have had no trouble getting on. Do you get to the page that wants your password??

Yes. It asks for username and password (if registered). Where do you register? So I type in my username and password, and then it does nothing.

Certainly you can't be serious about not posting?  You are going to leave us to the wit and humor of one southern mayoral candidate?

Fife - yes I've met the Mrs... Whistling [:-^]  I've always been partial to legs... when I was in San Antone in the Army my parents came down for my 21st and took me to The Old San Fransisco Steak House (where a scantilly clad lady swings on a red velvet swing till she can kick cowbells on the ceiling).... mmm mmm mmm... any way, my Dad says, 'WOW she is really put together!  Nicely proportioned upstairs.'  Mom says, 'Brent wouldn't know anything about that.'  Me, 'Nope I haven't made is past her ankles!'  I gotta get back there someday... LOL!

No progress on the house last night.  Got home, read the mail, opened a package from JF (thanks John - you have mail), wife got home, made dinner, watched the news, hung some pictures in the upstairs hall, hung some junk on the walls in the master bedroom, laid down, fell asleep around 7:30pm, woke up at 5:30am... 10 hours o' sleep!  I'm tired...

Good morning all,

It is a foggy morning in SE Indiana with temps in the 60s rising to the 80s.  I did weights at the YMCA last night.  Work has been busy.  Will be busy this weekend.  Daughter will be down tomorrow with two of the grandkids so I have to get chores done tonight.  My wife is going to Bloomington today to help other daughter do some house cleaning after moving back in.  I have Lucas doing a little more than normal in the yardcutting so I can get the house swept as well tonight.  The one granddaghter that likes trains is in the bunch that is arriving Saturday so I plan to have several temporary layouts set up for her.  Sunday I have a double header in racing on TV as both the F-1 and IRL races are on network TV at different times.  Maybe, just maybe, one of the good guys (or gals) will win.  I see where the dining car is here from "Points East".  I hope everybody (especially Zeke and Jenny) have a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....

It is a foggy, 60 degrees. Going up to 85, today, with lots of sunshine. We have had enough rain for awhile.

Today, I will do a few things around the house. Wife is doing better. She took it easy, yesterday, and had a restful night. Ran trains, yesterday, for about 2 hours Took some pictures, and made some signs to go on the layout. Look good. Need to do some serious dusting. I will be mowing grass this weekend. Starting to grow again.

Jim...( jaabat )...Were you denied underwear as a child ??Whistling [:-^]

Dining car is here and ready for breakfast. Later.

Chuck

Y'all have a great Friday.

Good morning from New England where we got some more rain last night. Not complaining though. Some parts of rednecknation are flooded and others can't seem to buy a drop of rain.

I rubber stamped a cab number on my 2025 last night with ink bought at a craft store. Still not dry this morning. I'll remove the ink tonight and restamp with silver paint (Testors).

I'll try to remember to visit the chat room tonight. Need to load java on the laptop first. I'll be the guy with no pants on!

Morning all,

Got another rain yesterday late.  Grass and garden perking up.

Commando Friday?  Maybe when I get to work and get into my coveralls.  Folks who go Commando wearing coveralls are called Swingers. 

Trees for the empty holes on the All Aboard panels came in yesterday.  Should make a big difference in the appearance.  

Jim- Like Jim said, a trip to the machine shop to press the bearing is worth the time and money.  Part won't get damaged and neither will you!

Time to go to work

May God bless

Jim
