Buy Frank's F3s, Dennis. Let's just say I am no longer shopping for those!

SHHHHHHHH!
I am going to try to post a photo of Laz's bear. A friend of a friend got this up in Canada.
It shows on my computer, but it may not on yours (has done this to me in the past)

Philly, I asked the waitress yesterday if they served grits, and she said no. I said good! The Chief was crestfallen but lapped up ALL that New England maple syrup on his waffle!
Point goes to the North!

Back from spending 3 and a half hours on the L... Dennis, I thought you were on train-restriction.Glad the Chief made it home ok Brent, that just about sounded like our move of 7 years ago - still burned in memoryMitch, I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. Not many of his generation with us anymore.

Jaabat,
I may send you the Blue Bird of Happiness for your next B'day party instead of sending you the Distelfink(need to be from Berks County PA to understand about the Distelfink) as I was planning. Thanks for wishing me a speedy recovery!
The word Gomer if I am correct comes from the Andy Griffen show, Gomer Pyle. Gomer and Goober seem to be nicknames for two of the caracters on the Andy Griffen show.
Jaabat I think one bad thing you could do to the Cheif or his friends is to put sugar on his grits instead of butter.

Howdy boys. Good to see Chief made it home safe & sound. Good thing he didn't take United! Don't hear any Rebel Yells or chants of "Frederickburg!" Hard to tell who won.

dbaker48 - please clarify "gritification". Is it A) Placing grits ON ^~*#, or B) Dumping grits down your tighty-whities and kinda squishing around in them?
mitchelr - Sorry to read about your Uncle. Some organization is scurrying around lately trying to get some of these remaining GI's to open up about their WWII experiences.

Beautiful day in Buckeyeland.
Finally finished three weeks of training on the new bridge design specifications. INTENSE!!
Mowing grass today after a great rain yesterday.
Is the Chief back in NC? I hope he behaved himself while he was in the North.
Not much news. Been too busy with training.
See ya down the tracks,

Rich
Yeah Rich, Tommy Canz, a top guy. He was a FF when I was there, been a long time, almost 20 years. He was in good shape, but had suffered a aneurysm to the brain, they clipped it and kept him in a drug induced coma for a few days to keep the swelling/pressure down. He came out of it OK, and a bunch of the guys went down and he cut up with them. Then he had a heart attack a few days later.
After 7/1/88, the Ford Fire, he was the IAFF rep and really pushed for improvements in the dept. Made a lot of changes and eventually became state rep. Helped a lot of guys in a lot of different ways....kept some from trouble, and got better benefits for all. After he had the aneurysm, the Chief put in his paperwork for retirement for him (once it is filed, he/his widow would get all the benefits, unlike the one payment for a LOD death).
Hello again..Rained big time yesterday afternoon and in typical Florida fashion, everyone panicked!! FLOOD!! Upper 80's again today more BIG RAIN this afternoon.
Haven't looked at the railroad lately, having to move and looking at a '66 Dart(like my first car) to play with. I did use some of that pink foundation foam someone suggested on the ogrr site. Even on my foam insulation, that Fastrack got REAL quiet. Even SWMBO concurred(wow, she agrees with me? will miracles never cease?).

Good Morning, Y'all!
Chief, sounds like you and Jim had a good time. I will keep the secret weapon you planted a secret. He'll never know what hit him.
Mitch, sorry to hear about your uncle. They truly are the "greatest generation". While our soldiers are just as great today, you don't have the sense of duty from most of the country.
Laz, I got my running shoes in the mail yesterday, came directly from China, made in Vietnam. Nike Air Max. Had a pair that a friend in the Army gave me...best running shoes I have ever had, wore them out and had to get new ones.
Home with the rugrats this morning. On call and will go in soon. Really have been blessed with the hours I get to spend with the kids and wife. It is important, they don't stay young forever. Before I know it, they will be asking for the car keys and a spending account.
Have some new aquisitions that are due to arrive this week. Got some great deals, but SWMBO will still frown as space is at a primium.
Have a good day!
HI GIZ,
laz CAMP at 0530 today did a nice easy 4 miler and now weights. Got half inch of rain last nite, cooled things down. Cut grass today first time in two weeks.
MITCH sorry to here bout your uncle. My DAD was in WWII ,like your uncle he didn't talk too much about it except for the good times of drinking and he too met up with his brothers over there and was allowed to catch up for a few hours. Small world?
FIFE, you are getting TREMBLY for manager. Good GUY, he managed the HARRISBURG SENATORS to a championship here a few years back. Maybe he'll straighten things out?
JAABAT, glad you and DA CHIEF had fun, but watch out might have left a GRITS BOMB somewhere?
STURGEON, thanks for advice on soldering but going to leave it up to the pros, plus I need him, to get some other work done.
All have a good one.
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the low 80s. I used last night to catch up on some sleep and open the windows to let fresh air in. It was good sleeping weather and I needed it. Tonight is soccer and tomorrow night is the last class. My wife is spending the week at my daughter's place, helping her with the newborn grandson. All appear to be doing ok. Lucas and I are "baching" it and so far we are doing ok. Jim, sounds like you and the Chief had a good visit. The dining car was loaded down with bran muffins again this morning for "Points East". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
well good morning everyone ...and good night...the zekester is signing off...but dont be to disappointed....i will be back

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a sunny 57 degrees. Going up to a sunny 80 today. A little cooler, but great weather for being outside.
Today, is the weekly grocery shopping day. Hope to get it over with early, so I can have some time outdoors and enjoy the weather. We had some rain yesterday, and everything got a good soaking. Garden is taking hold and we have some nice tomatoes. I think I will take an hour later and run trains. I like the way they look, going over the blue bridge.
Well, Dining Car is here and ready for breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Wednesday.
Chuck
you kill me jim you really do....sounds like fun......as long as he dont drive then your cool with me...lol
Zeke, I see that you are using a photo of the Chief and I riding around looking for trains as your avatar! That's him asleep in the passenger seat as I haul his butt around our beautiful New England. We visited 2 states and let's see, 5 train stores. One sold guns as well! Yeeeee-haw!!!
jim sounds like you two had a blast. Its great when members can hook up and hang out and talk shop....I was thinking of dropping a line to someone south of me and seeing if hed like to hang out for a day...or?....
i really want to make a big event trip like new york...that would be killer....
well off surfing for some couplers i recieved a few broke in the mail....go postal...weeeee
Good morning from grits free New England!
I spent much of the past 2 days with the Roseyville Rascal. Monday night he visited my home and we had a chat session while I held a painting clinic at the kitchen table. In a display of weakness, I donned my eye glasses to see what I was doing. Fortunately, the Rascal did not take advantage of the situation.
Yesterday we hit several train stores after dining on a grits-free breakfast! But the Chief ingested a goodly amount of New England's finest maple syrup, so score one for the North!!!
My wallet came away unscathed, save for a few bucks here and there. Hey, I even got a pristene 726/736 steam chest/pilot for free at one of the stores. They had a junk table with lots of great items, like post war tenders, rolling stock, etc for cheap cheap cheap! The pilot didn't have a price, so the lady told me I could have it! It makes a nice paper weight!
My honey with the big gozongas wasn't at the store when we went back yesterday , but I did manage to score a few much needed 0-72 switches for the Chief at great savings. Twernt nuthin as they say down South!
I had a great time. The Chief is like a big brother to me and when ever we hook up it's like we've known each other for decades. So we just bopped around yesterday in a new red Grand Prix raising cain and hunting trains! Northeast Trains was a cool place. My first time there. Won't be the last!
Chief had such a great time, he decided to stay an extra night up here in God's counrty! Little does he know I planted a tracking device on him before we parted...
