Morning from Sunny & Smoky NorthEast FLA. In the 80's today. After alot of poking and proding, the MDs here can't figure out what wrong with me. Maybe my Yankee body is finally rejecting my Rebel habitat(yup, that ought to start something...) Thanks for the nice comments on my video. I actually put my camera on a flat bed on the NYC Flyer and ran the Pennsy on the next track. It was pretty funny. The NYC just barely beat out the Pennsy. You can just see my CNJ Beep just as the video starts. The layout has changed since then, I put risers on the outer track at the rear of the layout. I'll try to get some pics or videos of that sometime in the future.
Have a great day all!!

Mornin' boys. Sunny & cool here in the Mid-Atlantic this morning. Swell evening at Mom's yesterday; dined on roast beast & seasoned shrimp (11-15 count).
Laz57 - Hey, they killed off Christopher and Paulie's aunt/mom in the first 10 minutes...what constitutes fast for you?
Chief - if you really like the TUDORS (and the chap who plays Henry) try renting the movie MATCH POINT...
Morning everyone. Hope y'all had a great weekend. Zeke, I listened to all those, plus the Who, and others. Skynyrd was my favorite. I am finally off call and I feel exhausted. Not sure why, but I hope to be full of energy later.
Don, and others with G gauge trains, Trainworld sent me a email about a sale they are having on LGB. Most is half off. They mention about LGB having financial difficulty (were they sued by MTH too?) Anyway, perhaps they have some deals for y'all. At this point, I am all O, but if the bride gets her wish and we get a built in pool, I can see a G running around the backyard.
I will try to catch up on the rest of the posts, but it seems they fly by at warp speed these days.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a sunny 40 degrees. Got cool last night. No frost. Going up to 82 today. Should be another beautiful day.
Today, I have a few errands to run. Not going out much, anymore, with the high price of gas. Grass is all mowed. I ran trains for a while, yesterday. Was nice to sit and relax , while watching them run. One of these days, I need to spend a few hours working on layout.
Well, I will board the Dining Car for breakfast. " Points West " has not been up yet, I guess.
Y'all have a great Monday.
Chuck
Good morning all,
It is another beautiful sunny day in SE Indiana with temps in the low 80s. The granddaughter and her mom and dad were here yesterday and I ran the Alaska set for her. It was a nice day then as well. We went outside for a while as well. After they left, I did some errands and got gasoline at 3.36 a gallon. Ouch! At least "Desperate Housewives" was good last night. Some of my favorite drivers and teams qualified for the Indy 500 yesterday as Manning got one of the Foyt cars in and AJ IV and Sarah Fisher also made the show. Next weekend will be interesting as well. Dining car is headed for "Points East". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
zeke,I remember those days... staying up well into the wee hours of the following morning... can't do that much these days, I was up till 11 last night and I'm beat today!Keep forgetting the cheap redheaded stepchild from MA doesn't have a 'puter at home... I could build him a cheap one so he could at least get on and chat with us... trade him one for some trains... :) How about a set of postwar Santa Fe F3s? No email yet from the TCA member... guess I'll call him later if I don't hear from him by noon.32 days...

Went to sisters house for a Mothers day cook out......was suprized that brother in law was grilling tbone stakes. Mom brought a pound of smoked salmon which was also good.
Zeke you have done are country a great service and there are those of us who do appreacate it when I was at Devry back in 88 thru 90 I almost signed up with the CIA because the recruiter made it sound like such a great deal and that after you have served your time they set you up with a good comercial job then they said something about the possibility of climbing radio towers in hostile areas and I lost interest. Much later in life I worked with a bunch of veterns 2 Marines 3 Airforce and one Navy submariner. They were a fun bunch to work with even though they would irratate me sometimes They all tried to get me to inlist but I was so far out of shape and old to boot. I almost choose the air national gaurd but went to colledge in stead.
I like old and new muscle cars even though I do not know how to work on them, I(my family actualy) had a green grand torreno that got past around from family member to another, got to drive it once before dad got rid of it due to steering problem. I used to make fun of rednecks that drove old cameros and trans ams but when I saw the 2000 Trans Am w/ram air I just had to have it If money was no object I would get a dodge charger, a Ford T-bird and a Dodge viper. The first car I ever bought was an Egale summit, I now have the Trans Am and a F-150 crew cab pickup.
When you publish your book be sure to announce it here so that we can all find it.

Howdy Y'all. Well, I had a late night with the case and follow up. Then had to get up early for Pastor's Prayer partners meet at the church. I quick went in for rounds at the hospital and then back to church. Dr. John, we too had baby dedication. One family was shipping out right after service to head to Okinawa (we have a Marine base here).
I did not get any rest though as when I got home, my wife called and was almost home. I stayed up and then did a few things around the house. Then it was time to head back to church where we had the Univerity of Mobile (Alabama), a very talented music group called Ram Corps. If you ever get to see them, they are impressive.
No train work today , but I am off call tomorrow and hope to get some train time in when I get home. Hope everyone has a great day.
Dennis
PS: Zeke, remember, what hasn't killed you has made you stronger. You have a lot to offer and I wish you well in your future. Really glad you happened upon this forum and joined our "Family".

Trains are very therapuetic, as many of us on the boards can attest. Your resillience and strong will, will lead you places, be sure about that! You my friend, are an inspiration to us all, you and our friend Reggie - where ever his roads have taken him...The comraderie here on this board is something I have not seen since my military days, that is one of its aspects that keep me coming back...God Bless has blessed you, you may not realize it but he has... your mission in life has not been fullfilled... HOOO YAH!
you know your right about the comraderie on the board...i noticed it right away....thats awesome....
one time i had the perfect life it thought...a wonderful family, a loving wife and kids, the best job ever. Then one day its gone....all of it... at first i was mad at everyone...but then i remebered something my mom told me when i was younger in search of friends and materialistic things....
" Its not who you have around you, or the things you have that deciedes weather your life is good or not. But were your heart is."
and that always made me think and always made me strive to be a better person. Its words like that that makes me miss my mom, but also pushes me to be a better person...
Mothers are very wise, we may not always see it or think it at the time.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

lol sounds like a plan.....i believe in seatbelts for the record...i just drive these cars slow and very cautiously so i dont think about getting creamed...but now i will...after i got shot in the heart i died for 6 minutes....after that a comma for a week...suffered 2 heart attacks....all before i was 30...so i thought i was living on free time so to say...so seatbelts werent a concern....but now since i care about living again i will wear them......thanks everyone....you dont know it but you all have helped me overcome some things in the short time i have been on this site....thanks!
and i wish a happy mothers day to all mothers!

Thanks to all for the Mother's day wishes!
Zeke - like the others have already said - you've been thru more than your share and still have a great outlook on life! Hope you stay that way! BTW - Nice wheels you got out there! Let us know when you get that book published - Would love to read it!
Dewey - you take care up there in the mountains climbing those ladders - enjoy your applesauce! Hey - some GRITS would add some variety to your soft diet!! Thanks for the additional RR info.
Son and his family have been out of town since Thursday at a Bluegrass Festival in OUR RV. Meanwhile, I've been looking after 2 birds, 2 rabbits, 10 beagles (6 are pups), 4 other dogs, a horse and a sick cat. AND watering the DIL's flowers and herb garden - since we haven't had any rain!!! So much for a really nice Mother's Day. Just kidding - loved every minute of it - well most of it!
A lot going on on the pot - hard to keep up. Wish all a very safe and blessed week!
