Fife, all those Heritage schemes seem to come through Chicago sometime. Sorry I missed it. Just yesterday I saw a ratty patched SP unit run light through Crystal Lake - not too many of them out here - there was a beautiful orange and black GP20 in the CL yard a year ago to run the local switch job. Lots of Armour yellow and grey these days

Nope. Tought Men's class for years before I retired and started traveling. I'm pretty good on Biblical History. Something I love. Love watching the History Channel when they feature that. Tought a Sunday School class one morning at a retirement home. It was on Jacob [Israel]. Called him a lier, cheat and a scoundrel. Then said he was forgiven and became one of the Lord's best beloved and father of God's chosen people. Afterwards, lady came by and said, "New twist on Jacob. Never heard it told like that." My reply was, " The truth. Shows even the worse can be forgiven and great with the Lord."
Later
Afternoon. Busy morning. Went out to water [high temps and low humidity sucked up the .2 inches of rain fast] and ended up spraying an invasion of little Japanese critters. They were eating up the world since last night. They are sick now.
Jim F, heat up a little bacon with a flame, stick it on a mouse trap and watch.
Brant, some folks comments I ignore.
No on takes Jim A for serious. Really, my trip to New England was to get him out of the "nut house". His wife would not get him out. Felt sorry for him so I flew up and signed him out. If he does not behave, I will revoke my signature.
Wife leaving for beach. Bad thing is I have to teach her Sunday School class. The eldery ladies. Will get some train things done though.
Lunch time.
Mornin' boys (well, still feels like it...night shift). Sunny & pleasant here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Lots of posts to get caught up on, YOWZA!
Sir James - I read all the posts (except a certain O27 who looses me after the first chapter ). Trust me, if they still talk to me, they'll talk to you. BTW---don't forget your pic-a-nic basket!!!
cnw1995 - It was the Southern Pacific Heritage unit. Can't imagine we'll ever see those SD70ACe's east of the OHIO. Unless Uncle Pete gobbles up NS...
All this talk about killing varmits sounds like a 6-pack and a bug-light would be a good time in Buckeyeland.

Good Morning all, (late morning).
Happy Anniversarry George and Pam...
Chris spent the night at Disneyland, Grad Nite. Most of the evening dancing. The park is open only to local High Schools, they jam as many as 4500 to 5000 kids in. The kids are there from 10pm to 5am. Pretty much a local tradition.
This week has had about 3 Friday nights, I am SOOOOO glad its FRIDAY for real.
Had a real challenge, trying to make my INPROCESS train room look presentable, and of course had to have a demonstration capability. It all went pretty well. My Grand Nephews, 4 and 5, really were interested, and WOW did they have the questions. We ran EVERYTHING ! Great fun!

Blasphemy!
Happy anniversary, Laz!!! You say you've been happily married for 11 years. How many total?!
I guess we all know what Laz will be doing tonight! Eating crab legs with Pam!
Good Morning from the Bluegrass
Well, its overcast here right now, probably gonna be another hot one. We're still way, way behind on rain, we got some the other day but its so dry that it never made it to the streams and creeks.
Gotta run my wife to an appointment in Nicholasville this afternoon, then tonight we have Relay For Life. So I doubt I'll get to the caboose today.
BTW, Happy Anniv. Laz!! So how long has she been picking up after you? *nevermind* would have helped if I ready your post. 11 years eh? My wife and I celebrate 11 on July 27th.
Morning all!
Laz and Pam - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Jim A - post 'em up buddy!
Mich Jim - I have been to Traverse City a few times for work (ugh). BUt if you gotta work, what better place. I have biked the Rails-to-Trails line there (forget the name). Lot's o' fun! Nice restaurants there. Nice folks.
Mike C - Grits from the sky - you got that right!
I still owe my wife a dinner from our 21st on June 7th. We did the "all family" dinner. Been too busy to get out recently.
Have a great day all!
Doug, Arthur Fiedler was a Boston institution until he passed away. He's one of the all time great decomposers now...
Which reminds me...what's brown and sits behind the piano? Beethoven's last movement!
The Boston Pops are usually broadcast nationally on July 4th and at Christmas each year. I believe A&E broadcasts the Christmas show. Not sure if they also show the 4th concert.

I didn't miss that comment, Brent. I was laying low hoping no one else picked up on it!

Happy Anniversary LAZ....Pam must be a great Gal.
We have a peace accord? I thought they threw grits and we threw buckeyes.
jaabat, I like your post on OGR read them all the time. Even toss in a few rounds myself sometime. I use a different Handle there. But this is different, we can talk to each other I assume we have to mention trains once in a while. No problem for me I love toy trains an don't care what size they are. Low 80's today but next week back to the 90's. Everyone enjoy the days we have. REGARDS to all, Mich. Jim
