Evenin' boys. Cold and rainy here in the Mid-Atlantic. The nice weather was just a tease.
jaabat - Erin go thong-less...?
88 - I don't think so, he keeps the dynamite in his tackle-box for them slow days.
BUCKEYE - We can't throw a toga party, the Chief said we are on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION, whatever that is...
Yes Buckeye! Starting lots o' things. I like the tracked drilling unit. Cab you bring it down for my foundation - the must interesting part it is looks substantial enough that I will not need to take down my neighbors fence as the drilling unit will not be impeded by it.
As I have mentioned earlier - it is Spring Break here for the kids. A neighbor and I took our boys to the movie "300" this afternoon. The good news is this is NOT A CHICK FLICK and there is no mistaking it as such. Thus you men out there can go see this movie with absolutely no fear that there will be any teary eyes. No kleenex required. You also will not need any ketchup for your tater tots or french fires.
Regards, Roy

Oh NO, I hope not. I was just getting ready for a peaceful 3 days. AND, don't worry about Chief getting snowed in, in Boise. They will deport him back to N.C. Three days of the famous " Mouth from the South" and he's gone.
Installed a Lionel balloon ride on the layout today, neat. It'll add a little more action and it fits right in with my semi-high rail scheme. I installed the base on the floor at an access row so that it isn't visible to observers and its set up that the two balloons aren't visible at the same time. Instead of the black cord they supplied to connect the two balloons I used clear fishing line, much less noticable.

Good afternoon,
Brent,
Chief, Have a good flight & don't get yourself snowed in, in Boise.
Buckeye, I'm glad to hear the big prize is still out there, it is probably in my, soon to arrive, truck.
Don, Nice to hear the surgery went well, JD is a proven antsthisia, but did you remember to give them a bullet to bite on?
Take care,
I'm getting ready to head out and pick up my daughter at school. We might be getting a foot of snow tomorrow, and if we do, I'm going to hang out at home and make it a 3 day weekend. So in case I'm not here, have a great weekend and a Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.
Happy B-Day, Brent!

Gee, Chief I'm sorry you only received $5.00 in your truck. Your jealousy is not becoming to a so called Suthern Gentleman. Have you ever thought of seeing a therapist to work out your jealousy problem? Ask your dermatologist if she has a sister who could help you.
Today I arrive at work and guess what, another party day. It is the Ides of March. Toga, toga, toga........
Ten years ago, on St. Patrick's Day 1997, I bought my current car. I've driven it 150,000 miles and still love it. I've even told my wife that if we ever won the lottery, I'd still drive the same car.

I think she was the main reason I loved watching "Buck Rogers". She could make a young boy dream big.
I guess with all the PI Partying going on, no one has cautioned "Beware, the Ides of March" today.

I got mine around somewhere. I would like to find it as it would be good to show my son how we used to do things. As an aside, one of our anesthesia guys went on a mission trip to India, when they got there, all the electronic equipment went on the blink and they had to do calculations the old fashion way. Still is great to be able to do.
On to less exciting things, just waiting around till we can start the first heart of the day. A little administration meeting can really slow things up.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a rainy, 39 degrees. Going up to a rainy, 48 degrees. What wonderful weather. We had a lot of lightining and thunder last night.
Today, is a stay at home day. After a few chores around the house, I will spend some time in the train room. It's time to clean some track and dust a few cars. I found a real neat brush for dusting small. hard to reach places on cars. Works great. I need to run trains today.
Dining Car is here from " points west ". Breakfast is served.
Y'all have a great Thursday.
Chuck
Ooooh, your gonna catch flack for that comment! (What about Christmas?).
I will be at the St Patty's event bright and early at 7am. I'll probably be seeing double by 11. I'm not driving though.
So I just got the final word that I am going to the Philippines in April, for work related stuff. I just looked at flight information, and that is a 24 hour flight...That doesn't sound like much fun at all. I start getting uncomfortable after about 4 hours on a plane accross the country. Because of the international time line, I arrive 2 days after I take off. I think I'm going to have to take Nyquil and sleep through as much of it as I can.
Oh well,
Wes
Good morning all,
It is a wet and windy and cooling day in SE Indiana with temps falling thru out the day into the 30s. It was an interesting drive into work for sure. All this talk of slide rules and calculators reminds me of a lesson learned in college. I used a slide rule in high school physics, but when I went to college, the first hand held calculators were becoming available. I brought one to the physics class when we were choosing lab partners, and one of the prettiest girls (and smartest) came over to me and asked me to be her partner. Right there I learned that geeks and nerds still had a chance with the ladies as long as they had the right CPU.
It was a good evening last night. I did weights and kicked the soccer ball around at the YMCA, and ran the 318E set. I watched a little bit of "Lost" and taped the rest. I had some bacon and biscuits on the dining car this morning and there is plenty left for "Points East". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
