Evening.  Watching Big Love.  OH WELL!!  Interesting over on another forum.  A guy has threatened Jim A and some others [if I read his junk post right] and thir families.  How does that happen and he keep posting.  Post refers to a ZW.  Must be full moon lately.

County Commissioner meeting was something.  Caught the School Board playing games again. 

Later. [go see if the nut has threatened me]

John, I was off today with my son and we ate out - double cheeseburgers for lunch and dinner (really bach-ing it) and blizzards for dessert tonight.  I'm stuffed!  I've always got a bag of official boyscout popcorn ready for you though!  Just say the word and I'll set the atomic batteries to power and the turbines to speed - have it popped in a sec!

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

His threats have been deleted by the moderator. He got mad about a month ago and said he would never return to the forum. Nice guy sometimes but I think he has issues.  Mi. Jim

Hey, the "Police" deleted my post when I quoted the guy and said the Feds might be interested in this threat.  They deleted his threat.  Did they pull his posting previlages?  What's up with those folks.  Yes John, his mouth got him in trouble again.  His comment reads real simple but him and that guy have been at odds for a while.  Guy got mad at him and made comments.  Then pretended to have his girlfriend post [we've seen that before] and say he took a hammer to several thousand $$$$ worth of trains. Laugh [(-D]  Guy ran off his mouth about being Italian [I guess he thinks he is Tony] and then went at it saying a man with a family should be careful and it got worse.

So much for that.  Watching Mr. Baseball with Tom Selleck.  Love that movie.

Jim, that is a nice BM you made there.  You say it is a Constitution, is that a daily constitution BM?Wink [;)]  Anyway, meeting with the commissioner went well, I may be on a committee, vote is tomorrow.  On the way home, HEAVY Thunderstorm.  Hail, rain, wind.  Trees were down, had some on my land down (one took a deer feeder with it).  Also had lots of flowing water across the property.  It was above my ankles in the driveway.  Then, had to change and go out for  a meeting/dinner.  Nice gal with some good information.  We pride ourselves on having the best equipment and giving the best operation anywhere, but some of what this rep had could be a benefit to our patients.  Just have to get FDA approval.

Hope everyone has a good night.  Tomorrow looks like a long day for me, so I may not get to check in.

Take care,

Dennis

Happy Birthday Thor!! Happy B-Day [bday] Wishing you many more wonderful years.

And now some news from Canada. 

That is Walleye on that stringer with a few Smallmouth.   The morning we caught these fish we awoke to a temperature of 38 degrees.  Notice the coats even though it was very sunny day.  If one of the Chief's chargers had been on board, we undoubtedly would have caught more fish. Laugh [(-D] 

We caught our limits and had fish for breakfast everyday.  You are only allowed to have four walleye in your possession and the Ministry is very strict, especially with Yankees. (Gee, if the Chief went north, he would be considered a Yankee, too.)

While I was gone, I want to thank Chuck for keeping the Chief in line.  It is a hard job, but the pay is great.   Check is in the mail, Chuck.

Speaking of rain, we were pounded with hard rains up north and the weather was real cool.  My favorite time of the year in the North is when you can see the Northern Lights.  It is truly impressive.

Jim A. great looking Pacific.  Bow [bow]

Does anyone know of a special Baldwin 6000 exhibit in Philly?

Life under the bridge goes on.

See ya down the tracks,

Don - missed your post earlier- Welcome back!

Buckeye - if we tied 3 of the bass we caught nose to tail - it would equal one of your walleye's (in length - not weight). The drought and heat in Tenn has taken a toll on fishing this year.

Zeke,

         I was starting to think that I was the only person still awake.  I've been surfing the net while listening to Cass Elliot's "Make Your Own Kind of Music", I just figured I'd listen to it one time; that was 3 hours ago.  See you tomorrow.

Thanks everyone! It cheers a fellow up to get a bunch of Happy Birthdays first thing in the morning! I get onto CTT the moment I have my first cuppa of the day, the only time I get any peace. I'd have done the same for you if I knew when your bdays were!

Good morning all! Yesterday, I was at jury duty and seem to be paying for it here today. Busy busy busy!

Thanks to all for the nice comments on my B&M steamer. I bought it last year for $65. It was kermit the frog green (holiday livery) with a blue tender. Now it is one of my favorite steamers.

Spent part of yesterday cleaning and polishing up my post war 2343s. If I get a chance later, I'll snap a few photos. Show y'all what they are supposed to look like! Wink [;)]

Back to work, I guess. Have a great day!

Good morning all,

It is another beautitful day in SE Indiana, and I would have said that despite whatever the weather was.  My Norwegian soccer friend showed up at the high school soccer practice last night, and I had a great time introducing her to some of the kids.  She showed them some drills and we got to scrimmage against some of them as well.  Despite claiming to be out of shape, she still showed them some moves.  Not only that, but she will be at my game on Wednesday to watch me in action.  And (as they say on TV), it only gets better.  She will be in Seattle for two years to get enough work experience to start on her master's degree.  Can you say road trip?  My wife and I have talked about going thru the northwestern section of the country and now we have a destination as well.  I came home and my wife saw my "dopey grin" (which I still have on my face today).  It was a very good day.

Lucas spent hours on the phone talking to someone he may go out on a date with.  I am so glad not to be his age.  I sent bran muffins on the dining car to "Points East" this morning to help out with the self-service.  I hope everyone (especially Zeke and Jenny) have a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....

It is a sunny 66 degrees. Going up to 90  today, with sunshine. It has been a hot, couple of days.

Today, I am taking it easy. Been busy, the last few days, with mowing grass, taking the wife to Doctor and grocery shopping. Wife checked out good at the Doctor, yesterday. Has to go back in 3 weeks for xrays. But, all is healing well, and she can resume normal living. The pain is much less.

This afternoon, I will spend some time in the train room, enjoying running trains and doing some cleaning.

Belated Happy B-Day [bday].. to Thor.Hope you had a good one.

Dining Car has arrived from " points west " with bran muffins. Time for the breakfast. Later.

Y'all have a great Tuesday.

Chuck

Morning all.  Another 90 + but temp is suppose to drop after today. I might try to sell my lawn as hay since it does not look like grass anymore. My friend at the train store tells me nothing exciting going on there. No new items of interest have arrived. He goes everyday and then I check with him for a report. Well I'll drop by later and see if anyone got themselves in trouble today. It's still early so there's lot's of time.       Mi. Jim

Jim,
Like that Steamer... you got mixed up with the livery though... should have been a B&O! Smile [:)]

Well wife and I got the spare bathroom partially painted last night.  I have to put the second coat on the ceiling and do some touch up, then hang the vanity light.  Got the faucet, towel bar, and toilet paper holder off EBay so will install them when they arrive.  Just have to remember to get to Lowes for the supply lines.

Those interested, you can see pics at: http://www.distorteduniverse.com/house/gallery.asp That's my company website that I never finished... got to get a new Domain name so I can turn it into a better site, company idea kinda fell through... LOL!

School starts today, so I guess I should head over to the site and introduce myself... Can't wait to be done with this... 5 classes to go... this one is paid for by the company I work for, then have 1 to pay for myself, then 3 more for next year the company can pay for again... Smile [:)] just have to determine if I want to pay for this class this year or next...

Have to dismantle the platform I used to install the foyer light on Sunday and get the lumber into the train room.
