Now he is MAD. Will not answer his phone at work. He can't say he is working as he just posted on another thread.

Morning all
Beautiful in Southern Ohio! Sunny and in the 50's already. I am off till Monday and start dayshift.
I hope everyones alergies get under control. With everything blooming I can see why they are acting up. Our daughters and my wife have them but I've been blessed by not being affected. Only in the past few years has even poison ivy done anything.
Sounds like York is turning out good for those who are going. Be careful travelling. Going to Cincinnatti for my bride's post op check from her carpel tunnel surgury. She is diabetic so healing is slow and one of the incisions is acting up. While in Cincy we'll hook up with our youngest who lives there for dinner. I wonder who will pay?
Well classes start again Saturday. Glad in a way, getting to see the other guys and all, but not looking forward to the study! Already put in hours of pre-reading before the class starts
Need to go. Take care and God bless

Morning Y'all,
Wish I could be up there with all the Yorkies, but alas, some of us have to stay back and hold down the fort. Please do post reports from the front lines. Build up anticipation for us for a future visit.
Zeke, email an address for me to send that Greenberg's book, or, if you have a local hobby shop near by, they may have one. These are perhaps the best available books with diagrams and information for servicing your trains.
My wife has told me I don't need any more trains for awhile Space has been an issue. I have my son's closet full and the one free wall in the train room is loaded. Until I get the layout completely wired and scenery done, I suppose I should refrain from filling the house.
Well, I must get get back to the kids. Wife is actually working today and so I get to play Mr. Mom for a little while I get ready to head in for the afternoon cases. I never did get to work on the tractor, so I gues either tonight, or tomorrow. I have to take the car in for the MB car clinic. I hope I will have some time to get trains in the schedule.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Good Friday Morning All,
Currently, it's a clear 43 degrees looking for the mid 70's by early afternoon. May have some rain tomorrow. Hope to finish the lower end of the horseshoe bench tomorrow/Sunday.
Hope everyone is enjoying York. I think I'll go to my LHS at lunch. I know it's not the same...but it's a good way to spend lunch.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It's a sunny 40 degrees. Going up to 70, today with sunshine. This is a good start to a day
Today, I am going to work outside. Have grass to be mowed and some trimming to do. I will make a whole day of it. The buds on the trees are getting bigger. Wish the cherry tree would get flowers back. Cold weather was not good to them. I need to get ready to plant a small garden. Last year's came out pretty good.
Dining Car has arrived for breaakfast. I wonder if " points west " has boarded yet ?? Yep, he did.
Y'all have a great Friday.
Chuck
Good morning all,
It is a beautiful sunny day in SE Indiana with temps in the high 60s today. Today is my last day at my current job. I have most of everything packed and done, just a few odds and ends. There are some meetings this afternoon which I may or may not go to.
I did go to the YMCA for weights and treadmill last night. It sounds as if people who went to York are having a good time. Welcome, zeke, to the coffeepot! The title says it all, "Here we gather as friends with trains." The dining car is headed to "Points East". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Lisa,
I've also been having trouble with my eyes of late. They always seem to be red and often there is a slightly painful, burning sensation. My doctor gave me some erythromycin ointment, and it helped some. But now I'm thinking it might be an allergy like yours. When I was a kid, I had terrible allergies - all the same ones you listed as having, but for the most part, as an adult, they seem to have subsided. Maybe now that I'm an old buck, they are returning.
Keep us posted on your layout.
wish i was closer i would have went...sounds like a good time....
Hi Guys,
York was nice today, crowd a little light, but that made it very pleasant walking around. It will probably get fuller tomorrow. The vendor stocks were also a little lighter, I think this is a sign that all of the overstock built up over the past few years is finally being sold off.
Best buy I saw today was K-line die cast hopper cars with coal cars at 20.00 each.
Another good buy was the K-line Suburban 4-6-6 tank engines at 500 with TMCC.
Most of the current items were not greatly discounted.
Don & I started out together about noon and joined up with Roy about midafternoon. The three of us were joined by a friend of Roy's and we all had dinner at the Star-light diner in York. It was a great day.
Atlas handed out catalogs, but haven't had a chance to take a look at it.
Take care,
Bruce : have a good trip & don't get in trouble !!
Thanks, John
Evening all!
It's time for this guy to take a little well deserved R&R. I'll be away from the computer for 2 weeks. While the trains will remain silent for awhile I hope to get in lots of planning time on the new layout. That should give me plenty of inspiration for finishing the attic once I return.
Good hunting to everyone attending York. See y'all real soon!

Lisa - I feel your pain, m'lady. I'm allergic to every kind of tree pollen, dust, mites, etc. We got a hypoallergenic doggie though - she's no problem at all and I was allergic to about every dog and cat I was ever around before. Thanks for the mole info - I'll stop at the store and see what they've got. I bought one trap last year, but it did no good at all. Gonna peorder Hogwarts Express tonight, once I find my wallet! I broke it to my wife last night like this: I think I should buy 3 of the new Lionel Hogwarts Express set, one for me and one for each of our kids so they'll have their own. She didn't think we needed 3 of them! Okay, because I think our daughter would like the Wiliams Girl Train more anyway! How much is that! !!! Okay, I'll just get one HE for me and the kids to share, I guess.... Bwahahaha!
(Doug - our posts crossed - let me know if that stuff works, please!)
Of course they don't have any mosquitoes or moles now, they're still hibernating !
Do a search for "Chase Mole Repellent", I am ordering some to see if it is effective on my MAJOR gopher problem here. Since the coyotes disappeared from the open area behind us it has been miserable with the little critters. It is made of ground corn cobs, castor oil, and a surfactant. One of the gardening guys on HGTV swears by the stuff. My front side yard, a gentle slope, looks as though it has been roto-tilled from the gophers.

Lisa,My wife too is highly allergic to everything... word is still out if she is allergic to me... her eosenophils are through the roof with dogs, cats, dust, pollen, ragweed, dustmites, grass, etc, etc. basicly her allergist told her she isn't alloud to have any pets with fur... so we have two cats, and they like to sleep snuggled up against her or wrapped around her head! In case you were wondering - I don't get to snuggle with her much! So it is lots of fun here! We are having a UV Filter installed in our heat ducts in the new house (it kills all the microorganisms in the air) as well as an electric air filter (this sucks all the dust and pollen out of the air), so basically we will have 100% filtered water and 100% filtered air - whick means I'll be sick every year! Guess I'll just have to eat some dirt every now and again...So getting around to what I wanted to say... I can sympathize with you! Oh and we all missed you... you keep all of us men in line! Or at least the others seem to behave themselves a bit more when you are around! LOL... and yes I'm speaking of that raskle from Buckeye land...
