Brent,
I haven't moved. I've just been real busy with college work lately. I haven't been able to post here much because of it.

Morning All,
I think everyone should read BFs thread,while it doesn't bother me at all I fear someones fellings are going to get hurt. And thats not the coffee pot way.
Sunny this morning, 80s for the next few days. John you folks going to the train show want to send me $10.00 each I'll try to get your tickets.no guarante, no refunds. Oh where's the show.
I've been looking at the E lately and noticed shipping prices are rising much higher than actual cost. I don't mind paying a little extra for handling but some are to high and I won't bid. So if you sell there please keep that in mind as I consider s/h as part of total cost of item. Just suggesting. I also have sellers that don't post feedback, whats with that?

bfskinner - Double-speak is our specialty. I do remember that froicous over "Bimmer-gate", but that shouldn't have kept you away. However, I gotta admit it has been rather RAN-DEE as of late, but it should tone down.

Ran-Dee? That's because I'm back. My bad. I too will be at church Sunday, praying for my very soul.
John, Ask the dry ice people the best way to store it. Who would know better.

Anyway, for a 24 hour period is the referigerator okay or should I put it in the freezer?

Freezer! Transport it wrapped in brown paper inside of a cooler. Handle with leather gloves or tongues. This stuff will burn you!
Dr. John, I have a recipe for instant Ice Cream if you (or your wife) is interested. Involves liquid nitrogen, and a Kitchenaid blender.

Afternoon all,
Got off this morning at 7a.m., took a bit of a nap then got up to return my sleep to "normal" tonight. Got to love shift work
Dr. John, at work we store dry ice in a freezer and it will last a bit. Chunks last longer than pellets, and the denser the longer it will last. Like already stated wrap it in a paper sack or towel and avoid placing the ice directly on plastic like a cooler bottom as it may crack the plastic.
Wish I could come up to the train show this weekend, looks like you will be having a good time. When you see the American Flyer stuff, think of me.
Missed out on the 740 handcar and the 5300 tipple set on the bay, did not have deep enough pockets, maybe next time, there is a 336 ?$?$?$?
Well going outside for a bit, will check in later
May God bless

How did I get associated with these "misfits" ??? I'm just out here aligning track and punching buttons? And the only blue air in the room is from engine smoke....... Go figure......
Oh well, another false indictment, I can handle it.

Sir James,
From what I have been told, many sellers have high prices on shipping as Ebay doesn't take it's cut from that. The fees for listing and the percentage of the selling price can add up. The sellers are trying to increase the overall profit from the sale. So long as you are aware of it, you can deal with it. Just don't bid any more than the value of the item minus the shipping and make that your high bid.
On other subjects, all this talk about "universal health care" and the promisses of those wanting to inhabbit the White House is making me ill. We already have universal health coverage in this country. When I get called in at 3am for a stabbing, I come in along with everyone else on the team. We rush into action, save the live of this person, and treat them as if they were a member of our own family. The fact that we have spent over $50,000.00 of costs saving this person's life is not predicated on them having insurance, not being a member of a gang, not being on drugs, or any other factors. We have had all of the above and even worse, but they all get the same care, nothing held back.
Ok, off and back to trains. I saw a neat show on Freight Trains on Modern Marvels the other day. Amazing how the new generation of locomotives are made. Using air cussions to move these bohemouths around and all the latest technology in these makes your head spin. They also had some great vintage photos as well.
Hope everyone has a blessed day,

We don't!!!!!!! OH, your definition of regular is different from most. Now say three "Hail Marys".
Evening all. Long day but good one. Lunch/dinner in the South [free] was country style steak and gravy, rice and gravy, butterbeans [Southern style = seasoned], ham, cole slaw, banana pudding, cherry pie, apple pie and plenty of sweet ice tea. Dinner/supper in the South, 5 kinds of wings, sausages in honeymustard, meatr balls, raw veggie tray and lots of boiled peanuts [Yanks do not know boiled peanuts]. Dr. John, you will have to shake your head and call my Mom. As a Baptist, I had one small scotch and water [which is very seldom].
Now relax until tomorrow AM.
One observation: I came in tired and read the Coffee Pot posts since I left this AM. I found myself laughing and relaxed. Thanks gang.

Chief, does your Cardiologist know about this?
Sounds great Chief! I've been looking at a catalog from Swiss Meat and Sausage Company in Hermann MO. Man, looks like some great meats! They were featured on Road Tasted. Might have to make an order - it's a little too far for a road trip with the kids and all....

Dennis - You are 110 percent right. None of these politicians is lining up to give anybody anything, they just want to get control. It's all about power. One good thing, if they legalize all these guests in our country, is that the guests might get regular healthcare instead of overloading the Emergency Rooms (the most expensive healthcare cost-wise) for their free care. A buddy works in the healthcare industry in Texas and there are hospitals being dragged down to closing doors by the costs of the free healthcare they have to give undocumented sickos. You'd think they would all get a clue and start swimming to Cuba for all that great free commie healthcare I've heard about recently!
Touched up the paint on the windows as the sun was going down. Also fed the Skeeters. They are fat and happy, man!
