Evening all from sunny and mild San Antonio, Texas - home of the ALAMO and birthplace (well one of them) of the Republic of Texas.
Chief - get better soon.
Not much to report - sitting in meetings all day. They did provide breakfast and lunch.
Reggie and CSXest - good luck on those job searches.
Regards, Roy

He was built like a football player as wide as he was tall but not fat. Not many get say they made it to the pros in sports. Good luck with finding a new carrer, I am looking for work myself perferably something part time permanet in the electronics field. I just finnished a B.S. Degree in technical management in June. You may want to try some more colledge as well. Online courses are great.
i graduated from the university of alabama in may of 2002. with a b.s. in human environmental sciences. took me four years year round to do so. i dont think i will be returning to school to pursue a masters. my thing is they say you dont have enough experience to get the job with a b.s.. so you go back to school and get a masters. you reapply for the same job in a few years and then they tell you you have to much experience. so you are in a win loose situation from the start. my thing is its not about what you know its who you know in this world. because there are people out there who dont even have degrees in the field they work in but get the job anyways because the mom/dad knows the owner of the company they are trying to work for. now do you think this is fair for the person who payed for school to get a degree and not get the job. i witnessed this with my older brother. but not all things are fair in life. as for i was released from the bengals for getting into a fight with a teammate. now i was released and they kept him to the end of the year. the reason they kept him is because he played for the head coach on another team and there was favoratism. which goes to say its about who you and not what you know.
Good evening,
Hope I can remember at least a little of what I just read on 3 pages.
MAP, I will work on that over the weekend and post.
88, Congrats on the new house.
Chief, Get some rest and let things ride a little. Of course you will be off traveling again tomorrow, but try to take it a little easy. That shot should help a little.
Found a package when I got home today.
A Lehigh & New England Beep from Jeff Trenholm at Mega-Steam. He had a special run done of these. It is pulling two diecast hoppers and a heavy MTH caboose. Real nice slow speed operation. I am going to add TMCC to it.
Reggie, They had someone on TV from Union Pacific a while back and they said they were going to be hiring for the next 10 years as a lot of their current employees will be retiring during that time. Also will be adding addional people.
Lion, Mt. Airy is not that far from Lisa and Dewey. CSX, you are a hoot. That is two owls on a tree limb, right? I think once you have had your bre astbone sawed open, it will always give you a different feeling. I have a buddy that his still hurts if you push on it. Mine gets tight [could also be the arteries they used that were in my chest]. Some codeine and off to bed. Look at it on the good side, hole in hand is healing and has only a big bandaid on it. Thank God because there is always someone in worse shape that you. Good night all.
PS:
That jsut might do it. But if the wife caught me, I'd really be in worse shape.

Buckeye Don't forget to top off the spark in the spark plugs!
My friend's 3 year old told me to do that when I was working on his tractor!

Cheif I am just getting over a cold myself just in time to starta new job(temp job 4 weeks total) while I am waiting to hear about a job with Franklin international they make all kinds of adhesives and concrete and blacktop sealers.
What you need is some homemade broccoli soup and a good home health nurse I recomend Nurse Betty(DVD)
If you are ever on route 23 heading north to or through Columbus and am feeling under the weather stop at Ohio Deli corner of Highstreet(R.23) and williams and try their loaded potato soup anything you can imagine on a baked potato is in this soup and they give you a big helping. They also have an awesome Ruben.

Fighting this cold. Got to get moving early tomrrow. Geroge W coming to RDU and then north to ajoining county. Close everything at airport [have to get rental car] down before he gets here and before he leaves. They think that other folks don't count. Seen this over and over. We wish he would stay out of NC. Wish he would stay in DC. Or better, send him back to Texas. They love him. Thought one time he might come through Roseyville. If so, was going to tell the police chief to block the highway. Let him through when he said he would give funds to do the by-pass [as its a US route].

That wouldn't happen to be at social security? Used to live down Mountain Rd. in Pasadena, neighbor worked at SSA. Our daughter still lives in Elkridge. We get up there at least once a year.
RE: layout for client. Finally totally operational and debugged. He's finally cleaning up the room, hanging pictures and for the first time left the engines on the layout when I left. With a little instruction he's done a pretty good job of land scaping. I still have a couple of buildings to finish designing and scratchbuiding but nothing to stop him from running trains other than self confidence.
Got home from school today and was nice and warm about 46 ran a nice easy 3.5 miles. Then took dogs for a 45 minute walk felt like spring.
40 degrees this morning and still plenty of snow on the ground! Supposed to be above freezing all week!!!!!
fife,No problem.The commute to work isn't bad as I work on Security Blvd... large office building complex along 70... if you know where I mean? Will only be 30 minutes or so, much better than the 1 hour commute I have now.Brent

I'll never forget when I first started on the RR, guys had bottles hid everywhere in the shop area ! LOL !!
Thanks, John

well anytime someone tells a story to me about there personal life to try and help someone else cheer up. it always has a meaning to me, and should to everybody else, but i'm not everybody else. i appreciate that, and it made think of how blessed i am to have even got this far in life with my dream. i shouldnt worry because GOD will take care of it like he always has done.
Fife,The new house is in Mt Airy.You could head West to New Windsor, then we could head North and pick up Mitch for the March 24th Gala! Wish I had the RAM, but the Bimmer will seat the 3 of us rather nicely...btw - the app is in the mail!Brent
CHIEF: It seems to me that you have been down in the dumps ever since you appeared on the cover of CTT. What gives. Anyway hope you are feeling fine today. Even the Yank's are worried about you.

I got the same UP patch flyer, Doug. It's in the circular file!
Jim
Too back Pennsy is so far away
Good morning from a sunny and warming Chicago where everything is mushy from melting. Had a good night last night in class. Hopefully a good workday today. I got a mailer inviting me to buy overpriced UP patches but I can cut out the heralds to decorate something on the layout. Also an invite to re-up the Williams Platinum club - maybe I'll do it just for a new boxcar.
