Just curious, has the Chief been delivered to Nawthern hands as of yet...?
No, but we are working very diligently to that goal.

I long forgot about it till you reminded me of ft lee ....i will post som pics, you shall all get quite a laugh...not sure how old you are but, some advice get all the schooling you can while you can. I missed out on that. I couldnt i was being deployed somewere every other month it seemed or in the field...
jefelectric--thanks but id rather guys here get this free stuff...hint
fort benning--- home of the infantry
you guys are making me home sick, i really miss the service I have my meorys and pictures though. Its a good thing for pictures cus this tumor is eating my memories away.. I could go for hours and hours on army stories...ah
dennis--- there is a part on ft benning were you can find a fight club, i never did that, only cuase i loved my job, and the mp's really crack down on the stuff now a days. 20 yrs ago im sure the military was tougher, now though they arent even soppose to cuss.. I joined when the drill sergeants were still beating on ya, they cant touch you anymore, its kinda gone soft on the aspect.maybe thats why there are fight clubs..oh the memories....

He said he was glad his kids came . he cried telling me thank you. tell you something, i dont shed tears easily but when that man of 85 yrs young looked at me a cpl came out of somewere(i told him it was allergies). He said he didnt ever think of them coming, he said it was a wonderful surprise, I am glad i got them to come i made his day for sure. He means alot to me even though i just met him. I told him about all you guys and he said thanks for the prayers.
well the zekeman will be up for awhile so cathc you all later
Hidey Ho everybody and so to the end of another Father's Day. 88 - glad to hear you are moved okay and had a good anniversary. Hope your mail is showing up at the new house already! Lisa, I pray your husband will be healed soon. Got a dvd recorder and my son is overjoyed that he'll be able to record all those great episodes of pokemon (groan)! Needed to hook to cable with composite cables - okay, except then this device has to be on for signal to go through. I ordered some RCA Y cables to split this off through Amazon. Of course, they didn't have any at BB unless you want to spend $60 to hook up 3 cables. Also ordered the CTT book on modern train maintenance and repair with 2 day shipping. BTW: Thanks for the info RT, I'll look into that - got your email. Took kids to see Fantastic Four, which was pretty good, although I expected Galactus to be more anthropomorphic. Then we had a pizza party for just the 3 of us. Oh, and I order the plasticville library for my rrtracks program. Anyway, a great day, except that my wife is TDY to Washington for a couple days
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Ah, now your question makes more sence. AIT now means tech school. I did go to Basic Combat Training.
Happy Father's Day....Y'ALL! Wife made some wonderful Biscuits and Sausage Gravey this morning...YUM, YUM! Then to church and out for lunch. I slept a bit this afternoon and am all recovered. I changed two of the bathroom light switches to switches with a dimmer attachment. For those who have to wake in the middle of the night for a trip to the restroom, you will appreciate these. Lets you do your business without the blinding light.
Reggie: Congratulations on your first Father's Day! Please post some photos of your little girl.
Zeke, speaking of places that lend themselves to trouble, do you remember a place by Ft. Benning called "Memory Lane"? Anyway, it was often the scene of fights amoung military and locals. The base commander ordered it off limits and it has since closed. A few other spots have met the same fate. Columbus used to have the most strip joints per square mile than any place in the country, but they have passed some laws and put most out of business.
Don, I need to talk to you about a Epson printer and the driver for the computer. I will email you. As for your track, from what I have heard/read, you shouldn't need to remove the black on the center rail of gargraves or atlas, but most folks had problems with MTH's black rails. It has to do with the blackening process, but I don't recall the specifics.
Lisa, good to hear from you. Will keep you in my prayers for hubby to be recovered soon and for you to be blessed in all ways.
Misty, Thanks for the kind thoughts. It is really special being a Father. To be loved so much by our children and to know that they look up to us and to us for everything.
Hope everyone has a good night,
Dennis

Do you ever attend the train show in Tinndimoniam (sp?) Maryland. The Great Scale Train show I believe it is called. I went to it after not attending a show in a while. Made up for lost times and bought lots of trains including a 2333, 2328 and a Williams Wabash FM. Nice show, lots of opperating layouts. Congrats on the 1500 posts.

I was 1st Infantry at first stationed at fort benning i was in a support infantry division. Then went to 3rd Id in fort benning again. Thats when we got attached to 77 f unit, i cant rember right now but we gaurded their fuel training facility . We Gaurded thier 5000 gl tankers, i mainly gaurded an area were they main fuel lines and then like 6-8 running off those...been almost 11 yrs , memory isnt to sharp. i have some pics i will send ya. if i can find them. The roach coach came threw frequently. Thats also were i trained to be a parachute rigger I believe, sometimes part of my military carrer is a blur, i been on quite a few bases, been attached to various differnat units.If i find them pics im sure i will rember more.
one word of advice, on the weekends when the ait students are free running around, dont hang out at the bowling alley. I lost a rank there. I was just there bowling by my self and som ait kid comes b me and started a fight with me. Just walked up and punched me. Didnt know him (only been there half a day at that point) So being hot tempered when i was young i fought back. Bad decision. Gets rowdy there. They dont like fighting, go figure...

I agree. This is my first duty assignment. Was at Little Creek Naval base for AIT training in Norfolk. Kind of like it here, kind of lazy, gives me more time to work on trains.
Happy Father's Day to all you Dads.
Been pretty busy and worn out from taking care of the garden, house and the hubby with the broken hip. It's been a really LONG Four years oops - I mean weeks. Have tried to keep up some but no time for trains or posting.
Chief - I think I may have missed your birthday - Happy Belated! Have a safe trip into enemy territory.
Dr John - Great news about your wife.
ZEKE - good thing you did for your new friend - sometimes you just gotta get in somebody's face to get them to really HEAR you.
Chuck - Good job on the bridge - can't wait to see it installed on your layout.
Brent - I know you're glad the move is behind you even tho' you have lots of work ahead. Nice thing you did for the wife for the anniversary. However, I'm sure you had an ulterior motive
Hope all have a good week!
Lisa
brent- glad the move is almost over, now just unpacking. The fun part, see what got broke, hopefully nothing espacially the trains....
moving brings out them muscles you never knew you had...
the pool is ok is 4 ft deep, but i am having a problem with the pump, its stubborn, might have to buy one, but still its nice. Got some friends coming over with thier little ones and we are getting ready to grill out, so catch you all later....
Just checking in... the move went fine! I am very, very, very sore...Happy Father's Day!
I am checking in from FiL's - on INet access till tomorrow night...We are all moved in, now unpacking. Picked up new grill today - but no propane - That will be remedied tomorrow.Took lovely bride out for our 1 year anniversary last night. Had a 1947 Rolls Royce pick us up and take us to Flemming's Steakhouse for dinner, then Vaccaro's for dessert. We were happily full of food and wine! So all in all a very nice weekend. I'll post pics of the Rolls and the train room when I am back on-line...Zeke - congrats on the pool! Wish I had one!Buckeye - Dr. John - Glad your wife checked out OK! (I think it was Dr. John) - or Dennis - either way glad she is OK!Glad I missed Jim's Commando Friday! Well I'm off - back to unpacking and finding how many more muscles I can upset!

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there !! Just home from work a bit ago !!
Don : I have never had to remove the black from the center rail on Gargraves Phantom track ! There are some that swear you have too, but I've never had an isuue & run at least 200 feet or more of it, in my 3 loops.
Hope Buckeye has some good popcorn for the movie tonight, The Chief hasn't been making any lately !!
Chuck : we're all waiting in much anticipation to see that beautiful Yankee Blue bridge in place on your layout !!
Hope everyone is having a nice day !!
GEE Roy, I'm sorry you had to start Father's Day off with grits.
Tired today after working the City's festival. Watered lawn today and sprayed for ants.
Tonight is the neighborhood movie. We put a screen up on the side of my house and the neighbor with computer projector loads it up and it is movie night.
Cool under the bridge today.
See ya down the tracks,
