Fifey, with all the recent self-rightiousness on the pot, I've decided to keep my more humorous thoughts to myself. And isn't that what you yourself suggested? I'm going to church on Sunday to pray for you and the rest of us CTT bad boys (including The Beav). Bless you, my child, and peace be to you.

Morning all
Off today and going to work on daughter’s car. Looks like a rolling dumpster from the trash inside. A stark contrast from the way I keep my cars. I must of left a negative impression as she was growing up.
Don-Great news about your son’s football letter. Years from now all that will matter is he got the letter, and he will appreciate what you did for him.
Mitch-I’ll keep your mom and the rest of the family in my prayers for a full speedy recovery.
Jumijo-Depending on the size of the job I use my hammer drill with a flat chisel tip if just a little job or rent a tile removing tool if any size at all. The tile removal I rent is like a mini jackhammer. It works great and can be used above finished rooms without making cracks in the lower room ceiling, just keep the angle < 45° and the tile pops off the mortar / thinset.
Chief-That was the spread for several folks, right?
Brent-are you going to put durarock or blue sheetrock behind the shower?
Well I’ve got all the footers and footings dug and gravel ordered for delivery, grade set for the garage addition floor. Looking forward to moving to the construction phase. Got class Saturday. Homework all done and have to give two homilies. Going to be busy day. Got to go
May God bless

Morning!
Teeth cleaned today... All good teeth no additional appointments. Dentist is just as big a sadist as the Doctors...It hurts here? (poking into gum) Here right? Here. Yep. Here? Yep...

Jumijo, Fife: Prayers for you GIZ too! Especially during remodelling! Your tetanus is up to date right? Glad to hear you attend church...and golly, it's not Easter or Christmas or anything!
Don: Great news about the letter!

LOL, Kurt. It doesn't count if I wasn't thinking about it when I wrote it -(channelling Groucho Marx: like much of what I seem to post.) Changed the reference.
Another warm, dry one out there today. Took a nice long walk and enjoyed the weather. Looking forward to 3 days off - is painting a bedroom considered taking time off? Then the dreaded bathroom project...
Only 5 weeks until the next train show.
Greetings for wet & soggy NE Florida (or SouthEast Georgia!!)
I have no idea why any one would complain about this place. I though sarcasim and inuendo (?) was the norm here. Anything else would be just....uncivilized!!!
Train show tomorrow in DeLand!!! THEN an auction a little further noth of that at 4pm...hmmmm think I'm done
OK boys... fight nice...I'll be watching
Mitchelr -- prayers for the fam
Don -- congrats on the sons letter (nice website also)
Til later

ps john....nice Budd cars

I hope to go to the Great Train Show at DuPage County Fairgrounds in another week. I hear there's another show somewhere in Pennsylvania this month - Ork? Bork?
Rain just blew through the city - it is now incredibly humid and hot out (for October) - supposed to top out at 90. Just walked all the way up (and back) State Street - that great street - to the cell phone store to reset an old phone (glad I keep 'em) replacing one lost by the kids. Had to wait while the screaming customer in front of me understood you gotta pay for your calls... No more exercise for me today. Too muggy.
Good Afternoon Everyone !! Great weather we're having here too.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments on my Budd cars. I never thought to turn on all the lights. I was just trying to show what my new bridge looked like !! Behind that one is also the Atlas double bridge, but you hardly see it from a normal view of the layout. Boy, I can't wait to see what my new Atlas steamer will look like going through that bridge !! Another month, I guess.
Oh, Don : I saw your club layout pictures & that is really nice !! I keep forgetting stuff since the forum changed & you can't see all the posts.
Hope everyone has a nice day & Oh yeah, Indians won last night !!
Thanks, John
Doug - LOL! You must have been at Verizon. I went into the store to have my phone fixed (lost two screws that held the LCD screen onto the flip) while I was there a lady came in...'Hello ma'am how can I help you.''You bleeping, bleep, bleep, bleep's charged me $1,200.00 on my cell phone bill. What the bleep! How the bleep do you bleepers expect me to bleeping pay a bleeping $1,200.00 phone bill!''Ma'am may I have your phone number so I can check your usage?''111-111-1111. What the bleep.'
'Ma'am you used 3,000 minutes last month and you only pay for 450 minute plan, you had $1,147.50 in overage charges. I could upgrade you to the 4000 minute plan, it is $149.99 per month? I'll also see if my manager can back date it so you will save $1,000.00''WHAT THE BLEEP! I DIDN'T BLEEPING USE 3,000 BLEEPING MINUTES! YOU LYING BLEEP! LET ME TALK TO YOUR BLEEPING MANAGER! I CAN'T BLEEPING BELIEVE THIS! BLEEP!'manager comes out and listens to her curse up and down... mind you there are families in the store. He asks her to calm down so they can discuss the situation... she continues her diatribe. He tells her that if she doesn't calm down and stop cursing he will have to call the police...BOOM!Talk about a firecracker going off! She really laid into him... he called the police, they show up, tell her she is going to be arrested for disorderly conduct if she doesn't knock it off...She FINALLY calms down and accepts their offer...I couldn't believe it! Someone offers to save me $1,000 no way I'm going to cause a scene like that. Oh and to top it off she walked out of the store talking on her cell phone...
Brent - Good story. I have seen people like that.
She should really concentrate on calling people in her "five", or frends and family plans! She probably didn't have 5 people who wanted to talk to her...especially 3K worth in a month.

So far only ONE good lead (decent commute), a few were down in DC (2-3 hour drive in bumper to accident traffic - with one at the Pentagon, and one at the Dept of Labor), and the best one... relocating to Madison, WI but they would pay for reloc and I could wear jeans to work (wonder if it is a landscaping job)...
Brent: What type of work are you looking for? E-mail me off line if you like.
From what I have seen from IT people in the DC area, pay is very good. Of course cost of living is super high there as well...and the commute can be very long.

Seems like south Florida keeps making the news! Another robbery today in Jupiter FL, held up a check cashing store, four men caught and fifth on the run as of 12:30pm. 10-5-07 South Florida has more than its share of bank robberies and shootings, even shootings at the malls, seems like the Wild West would be peaceful compared to south Florida.
Picked up my Super Street sections today in Jupiter and had to go around the crime scene area, only knew from the radio station that the road was closed. It takes 8 Super Street sections to make a full circle, I only bought four so my layout is 3/4 finshed for Super Streets now, waiting on other curves to come in and power supply cord.
Trying to stay dry lately!
Hey Jaabat can you do a drought dance? lol

Hey all. I missed so much the last week. Lots more work up here in Cleveland doing divisionals. Last night I became an Indians fan. Whoever wins first I want to sweep. Hope all are doing fine. Long night ahead.
Talk to you later. Stay safe!

Afternoon all,
First,csxjohn-Did you send me email? I'm just being careful as I know so little about this thing if it got bugged I'd have to get the DIL to fix it for me.
Took the wife to an ear Dr. today and he ask why are you here, get this she told her new Dr. that her ear pop while we were in the Smokies and he sent her to a ent. I warned her, but.
Well that and Walmart took our morning the "W" has raised their food and drug prices since we were there about six weeks ago. A sinus medicine I've been buying there went up 25% and most of the canned goods are up so we left with very little. I did see reg gas today at $2.73 gal. Lowest we have had for quite a while. Temp at 86 and the same until tues..gonna check on my trains now. Later,,,,,,,Sir James

HA! You laughed when I said I could bring you rain! Who's laughing now, Monkeyboy?
I can do a sunshine dance, but it will cost ya...
P.S. it's more effective and more expensive if I do it commando.
Brent, Fifey, move up here and we can start a train club. It's a well known fact that all the best train stores are up here. We could start MATTS!!
Beav, I had a good size chunk taken out of my left side this afternoon at the skin doc. Are we related? Scallops anyone?

Jim,
I think I have a solution to that problem. You could move to southwestern PA. This way you'd be closer to Brent and fife, and not to mention the fact that there is a small shop in a town near me that is loaded with postwar.

Evening all. Only had two kinds of pork bar-be-que and some baked beans for lunch. Tonight, shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob [I call it low country boil] with fried chicken on the side. Plenty of sweet ice tea. better tell this before Jimbo does. Put business card in pot [I did not know what was going on]. Later after show ended, called all the reps up to the front. Pulled out 5 cards. Mine was first. Then they pulled the 5 out and if yours came up, you sart down. I was left standing. the prise was $500 in cash!!!! WOW They did not do that last week in Dallas.
Mitch, prayers. Marty, glad to hear from you. Did you all scare Lisa off. she hasn't posted lately. Dewey has about disappeared. Rest now and no rush tomorow morning as I have all day to drive home. Later
