Rats got into my bottom metal drawer at work. They ate 2 dark chocolate bars but spared my Kipper snacks (sardines in a can). Don't know how they got into the drawer?

Same thing happens here, Dave. They get into locked metal desk drawers and eat the chocolate, but leave the other stuff alone. Good luck with the athelete's foot. That's almost as bad as painful rectal itching. Not that I would know first hand.

Don't be so paranoid, Dave. I'm the resident A-hole here and I'm not going to call anyone. Now look up at the sprinkler head and wave for us, Ratboy.

I like the wrap-around look.Don, I like the extra space you've added to the latest plan. You won't regret being able to move around more. I understand those bridges 'flip-up' instead of duck-under.

First time he has ever told the truth.
Phew !! Made it back from the dentist As expected he got his revenge, what was suppose to be a checkup, ended up as a root canal. I think the left side of my face is dragging.
Did get some good news, MTH is going to be at the Cal Stewart meet this year. Small in comparison to York, maybe equivalent to 1 hall or 3/4 of one. (Smaller Ones)
James, remember if your going to stay on the Pot all day, you gotta maintain your balance.

Good afternoon all,
Twice in two days I have forgotten an item I was going to mention. I came home yesterday and saw that the utility company had really whacked on a couple of our trees which were near some power lines. Normally I do not mind as they are trying to prevent outages, but what they did yesterday was outrageous! They must have cut more than 15 feet away from the lines on the part of the trees that was parallel to the lines, but did not touch the branches immediately below the lines. In fact a few branches appear to still be touching the wires!?!? Some of the cut limbs were growing in a direction AWAY from the lines. Adding insult to injury, they left some "logs" on the ground!!!!! I talked to somebody I know from the electric company and he said he would get a name of some one for me to contact. As I was writing this, I realized the electric company was Duke Energy, which is based in.....North Carolina. (Hmmm.... I wonder if this is a GRITS retaliation for my family's raid into northern Kentucky a few weeks ago :-) ) In any event, I hope to be able to get some sort of apology for such behavior. It is ridiculous what they did. They might as well come in and take the one tree all the way down. There might be some other home owners who are equally irate as well.
Thanks for listening and I hope everyone has a good day.

Hi all, Hope every one is OK. Hershey bar....hmmm that reminds me I have one left that my cousin sent over at christmas. One has to have a emergency stash of US goodies. Hopefully in a vermin free location.
I was travelling back from London late last night from a job and caught the Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie show on BBC Radio 2. They played a Neil Young song and afterwards were discussing Neil's new album. They also mentioned Neil's interest in trains. I was waiting for Lionel to get a mention but the guys couldn't remember the name! Its not Hornby but the other one, the No2 model train firm in the world... was how the conversation went. They also mentioned Neil's layout in a barn at his home. They want to get Neil on the show so hopefully he will go on and set the guys straight.
Tammy is off on a Hen weekend to Dublin (there I have warned you should you be in Dublin and see a group of around 20 women with matching T shirts acting crazy). So little lad and I are home alone this weekend. I feel a trip to a local preserved railway may be on the cards for Sunday
Have a good evening

Thanks everyone for the prayers and well wishes. Bride is home after successfull laproscopic surgery.
I'm not sure about this outpatient surgery stuff...she's pretty beat-up. I guess she can rest at home just as well as at the hospital...? Especially with 2- young children vying for her attention...Chilrden are with friends for a few hours. Dun...a... dun...a... dun-da, dun-da, dun-da...
Bride complained about something in her eye. Dr. Fish was on rounds...Anesthestist...It seemed funny at the time. Dr. Fish, not a Surgeon. Surgeon.... Fish...?? Oh nevermind.
8-mo kept us up until 4:30 am, no need to go to sleep needed to be up and out to the Hospital at 5:30am. See what happens when I don't get any sleep?
Thanks again,
Kurt

Afternoon all. Prayers for Dr. Johns mom. Hope for a quick recovery!
I thought about a hinged shelf a few times for the transformers. I finally finished the tunnel. Turned out OK.
Have a great day all!

Rich, this isn't 1978. The Red Sox are all but destined for a playoff spot. I read in tonight's paper that they don't care about winning the division nearly as much as resting the pitching staff and setting up the rotation for the post season. So after that was explained to me, I stepped off the edge of the Tobin bridge and unhooked the chain and cinder blocks from my neck. Let the Yankmees shoot their wad trying to win the division crown.
Still, it would be nice to finish first.

Dr. John Yes Hope your Mom Does well shes in our prayers here.
Got my ZW in today there seems to be a problem with the U post above the D Post. as the D works If I hook to the U post above the C post so guess wire loose inside. Other than that its seems to be great. sure has the power (I'm use to the little ones they give you with the cheaper sets lol. ) Will need to put a new cord on it also as it has a cord I'm not to thrilled with lol. ( 2 twisted wires going to a plug that you put the wires under a screw )
Not to much going on here
Did run some traions again tonight wife hasn't said track needs to come up yet so I'm pushing it as haven't had trains in a long time

Good evening everyone,
I've been so busy the past couple of weeks that I feel like I am out of touch. All the best to Dr. John's Mom and any others that I have missed. I didn't know that Jim was away, but welcome back anyway. Don, Sounds like the dentist had a few payments coming due!
I only read the current page so I probably missed a lot. Hope everyone is in fine health.
Take care,

I think you should apologize for being a Yankee. We will accept it. Really, I called Duke and told them to "fix" you up.

Do not know what kind of ZW you have. All of my U posts are connected by a common bar and it does not matter which one you connect, they are all common. Could be the nut [rivet] holding that post is off. Then usually the post will trun freely. Wonder if someone tried to glue the post on. Take shell off and look. Four top screws is all you have to remove [nothing tough to remove]. Then you can look right down at the back of the posts. I had rather work on a ZW than any other transformer.
Came by home from meeting and to SIL's husband's B'day party [2 big meals in one day] in neighboring town. Trains time.
Later.
John F, you probably missed this one. The best and now declared the top of the top ten post on the Coffee Pot, ever. Buckeye was down South this past weekend for the BIG wedding.
