Good afternoon everyone,
I am hoping the week will go as fast as it has been. ECLSTS this weekend at York, it will be fun.
Don I won't be attending the TCA meet. This is what I am attending: www.eclsts.com
I know it will be fun. I don't have much homework tonight, so I am going to finish packing stuff for the show. Talk to everyone later.

Evening everyone,
John, yes pictures are allowed. We will be located in the modular hall, to the right of the entrance.
Hope to see you there.
BTW, thanks for the comments on my grades.
Regards, Roy

Good (early) afternoon,
Almost typed morning till I looked at the time.
Don, I didn't start a York list yet, but it will be mostly small stuff, running out of room.
Colin & ATSjer, Congrats on the grades.
Tom, nice to see you post, got to stop working these crazy hours that interfere with trains and forum time.
Take care,
Buckeye, I tried that one...... it didn't work for my wife, doubt it will work for yours. Every once in awhile, she will say something along the lines of "Gee Honey, think of all the trains you could buy with the money you would get for selling some of your guns". I only suggested one time that we sell some of her furniture to buy more trains. I am still recovering from that one. I think the internal bleeding has stopped.
Anyway, y'all have a blessed day.

Hello from the soggy Bluegrass!!
I can't stay long, but I wanted to drop a line to let everyone know that I passed my Hebrew Mid-term!! Yea!!! It wasn't glamorous (75%) but considering the fact that I was sure I failed it then 75 ain't too bad. Right now I'm just glad that I passed, what's more is that it only counts 10% of my grade so it won't kill my grade for the class.
Got a long day still ahead, take care all and keep 'em on the track!

Chuck, Glad to hear you are getting along! Running trains is very therapuetic! I can't wait to get to the new house and start construction...
Classics, I hear you on the 40 months thing. I was at a job for that long when I had to leave for health reasons - stress and the ex had caused me to add 50 lbs to my frame and I just couldn't do it any longer - took 10 months to get straight, divorced, find a new job, and get on with my life. That was 3 years ago! WOW! Best of luck to you and congrats on the promo! Weather to stay nice here in Northern MD through Sunday! Looks like I'll have to mow the lawn on Saturday . Wife wants to paint a wall in the living room, probably start that tomorrow night after work. Also need to replace a couple sections of carpet... any one know how to patch carpet? I have a few 4x8 spots that need to be patched (have remnant that I can use).Brent
Good morning all,
It is rainy and mild in SE Indiana with temps in the 60s today (still above normal for this time of year). My wife and I went for a walk last night to enjoy the nice weather and then I went to the YMCA for weights. I was still tired from the workout I had Monday playing soccer. Tmcc man, good job on the grades! I went over yesterday during lunch to check out where I will be working at the new job. I did a little "meet and greet" while I was there. It will be different, but the pay increase will definitely compensate for it. This may be somewhat sacrilegious, and I do not want to offend anyone, but I made the observation last night to the family that the Israelites spent forty years in the desert, and there are various accounts of people spending forty days in the desert fasting. March 3 marked forty months of me being where I was and now.... (well, maybe it is not the Promised Land, but maybe some better times are ahead). It was just an observation. Some times you have to go thru h*** to get to a better place. If I upset anyone with these thoughts, please forgive me.
I sent the dining car to "Points East" this morning with a load of donuts. Maybe that will be of some comfort. I hope everyone, especially Chuck, has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a nice 57 degrees. Going up to 78 today, with a chance of a thunderstorm, later this afternoon.
Well, we are doing ok. We got thru yesterday. Slept a little better last night. It going to be rough for awhile. Thanks, again to all my friends for your support. Wife says " Thanks " , also.
Today, I have to run a few errands. I need to get away for a few hours. I may run trains later. That does me a lot of good. Takes my mind off of things. Maybe. I will try hard.
Good Morning, Jim..Thanks.
Dining Car is here. Need to eat breakfast. I will save a lot for " points east ".
Y'all have a great Wednesday.
Chuck
Hi GIZ,

Good morning from New England!
What a beautiful day it was yesterday. Warm enough for shirt sleeves.
Chief, your tunnel portal is almost finished. Take good care of our 736. You know that some day, I'm going to make you an offer on that!
Have a great day, everyone. Especially you, Chuck!

Colin - Great job on the grades!!! Obviously you earned them, lots of hard work I'm sure. Hope to see you at York.
Wierd weather here today, high winds, some rain, trees blown over, hail here, and snow 20 miles north. Unusual !!!
Did more amputations tonight, 1 more car populated! Unfortunately 1 poor guy lost his head in all the excitment.

Good evening,
Chuck, Our sympathy to you and the Mrs. We have lost a few dogs over the years and understand the pain.
Dennis, I have a Porter, what do you need to know? Send me an email.
Been a busy day here, first chance to check in.
We are back - kinda.
Our old box control board died, so new box here. But now we have to go back out of town again, so not much time.
Chuck - sorry to hear of your lost!
I am a person with a very active inner child. This is why my wife loves me so. Willoughby, Ohio - the home of the CP & E RR. OTTS Founder www.spankybird.shutterfly.com
Thanks again guys and gal......for your comments. They have helped me today. I just took a walk with Woo. He seemed to stay closer to me. He usually wandered off on his own. That makes me feel better.
Good Night, my Friends.
Chuck - So sorry to hear about Rocky. Losing a beloved pet is so tough. You can take comfort in the fact that you provided him with the best love and care that you could while he was with you.

Yes, I have ravished all the Yankee streams. Buckeye can't stand it.
Chuck, sorry about Rocky. Got one 16 1/2 and he may go any day. They are like kids and are really missed. Tell Mrs. Blueberry how sorry I am about the loss.
Off to go pickup new Laptop. Got aux harddrive for desktop. Download photos and videos into it. Now main computer flies again.
Chuck, I was very sorry to read of the death of your Rocky. I know it hurts to lose a beloved pet. I hope you and your wife's pain soon eases and you can enjoy the good memories of your dog.
Overcast this afternoon but weather channel doesn't give us much chance for rain. May do some yard work this afternoon.
