Hadn't heard the Grovetucky moniker before but that is really funny!
Off to WalMart to cash a check so I have money for the train show in Saline, MI tomorrow.

Evening all. Sore eyes. Sun came out and things began to blosum in Florida [right below their shoulders ] I tried not to look. Now to the room to relax. Was taking one of the managers out to dinner but we both agreed we were too full from lunch [us Southrners call it dinner and the night meal supper]. BPS fed us bar-be-qued pork, chicken and beef ribs with all the trimmings. Dare say I did not eat much. Only two pices of chicken, two big ribs and a half of a plate of pork. All with baked beans and potato salad. Had only two Krispy Kreme Donuts for desert [no nana pudding ]. Two big glasses of sweet ice tea to wash it all down. Fishermen will know this. Hank Parker's son Ben is now working for the competition. Ben and I have hit it off as friends. He tells everyone how good my chargers are [hope his boss doesn't find out] and sticks to selling trolling motors and depth finders. Neat yong man.
Fly out of here at 3 PM tomorow. Early for a change. All the later fligths were booked when I booked this one. They are usually full of kids and parents going home from Disney.
Microwave Popcorn time. [John S, you're still my buddy so I will save you some].
Goooood night.

Good Saturday!
Ended up with 24.5 hours overtime this week! Got a dusting of snow today. Wednesday had 7 inches of snow......a far cry from the 20+ they were calling for over a few days!!! Going to the train show in Saline, MI tomorrow.
Chief! You know it is against forum rules to mention HOT CHICKS and not post pics!Fife, I took your advice, packed up the car, and talked the wife into going for a 'drive to see snow'... we ended up in Thurmont at a nice little train shop called Canoctin <sp> Mt Trains... when we came to the stoplight and she saw the sign she says, 'Hey there is a train store across the street. Do you want to stop in?' Ended up with two MTH cars, NYC Flatcar with 1949 Cadillac Coupe DeVille and a Sunoco Tank Car...
Good afternoon all,
It has been SNOWing all day in SE Indiana with temps in the 20s. Got the housework done, went to Wallyworld and got some shirts on clearance. Renewed my driver's license so the streets of Indiana are not safe for six more years. I went to the YMCA as well. Last night I was pretty much a slug and we watched "Close to Home" and "Numb3rs". I would hate to see the Chief leave the forum because we would lose our source for GRITS. The dining car rolled in from "Points East" for breakfast for a change and we had bacon and bagels. We called the daughter in Virginia to wish her a happy birthday. She is 25 today. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Got a good deal for some of my friends on the Pot. Today, I got the flyer from the Train-Station for the President's Day Sale. Not going to get into all the items, but one of good value is a LionMaster CP SD-90 and Caboose with TMCC, Railsounds, Odyssey, smoke, crewtalk, dual motors, electrocouplers, etc for $299. The regular price is $489. It is too modern for my pike, but I know some here like CP and the new motive power.
I don't normally post such things here, but wanted to share what to me seems like a great deal. I don't have a stake in this, but I do know one of the owners of the store. Enough of the disclaimers, if you like the above, by all means, go to the web site.
Thanks,Dennis

Man, you are just WRONG for that! It seems that the Honorable South has remained the same, wonderful place to live, it is the rest of the country that has a trouble of honor.
Dennis
So the Chief reappears - as they say - the South shall rise again! Must be the GRITS!
Beautiful day here! 60 and sunny! Time for a warm-up!
Doug - V-Day fiasco?? I hope you have recovered?
Our son's Jr. high had their V-Day dance last night. Man - he put on slacks and a TIE! Dances at our jr high are scheduled so they end by 8 pm (teachers want out asap!) and then we took the boys to meet some GIRLS at Chili's for dinner . Of course we had to sit across the restaurant out of sight
Have a great day all!
Regards, Roy

Oh gosh !! Poor Bruce & Fife are not in good with The Chief now after what they said about him !! I'm glad I didn't say anything to offend him !! Well, maybe he will get over it & still talk those guys, I can only hope !!
Good afternoon,
We are having a heat wave. Already 36, was only predicted to get to 33, we'll take it.
I've been working on a few projects at the bench today. Flat car load, office interior & billboard sign.
Plants in the green house are comming along. Geraniums are getting first geranium shaped leaves with some color in the center. The impatients are starting to come up. As soon as it is safe to take the geraniums off of the heat mats, I will be starting some other seeds. No sign yet of the early tomato seeds sprouting. I used some left over seed from last year, hope they come up. Old seed is not usually a problem with tomatoes but you never know.
Good Morning All from NE Ohio
where the temp is a brisk 20 degs with light snow on the way.
Jim - I took some pics of one of my MTH 4-4-0's going thru the last Lionel switch on my layout (its in the yard). There is lots of room so I believe the Ten wheeler would be ok.
Jim, I hope this helps.
Well the strom of this past week keep us at work, but now next week we will be back in Grand Rapids for most of the week.
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
Morning All,
Working dayshift weekends this week. On break and thought I'd check in. Cold and snowy.
Trying to figure where to put the 752 coaler on the layout. I'm thinking beside the 785 coaler. my idea of running the two coalers off the same switch on the control panel and putting a selecter switch in the base line to determine which coaler operates works. Next day off I'll wire it in.
Chief, glad you're back, grits and all. Besides, I like grits, comes form my heritage of the hills of Kentucky!
Take care all, prayers for those in need going out!
Jim
Morning GIZ,
16 and cold here to get some SNOHIO this after?
Going to populate the town today and maybe make KWIK KARLS USED CAR LOT?
Bough Alaskan King Crab Legs for my wife and me. GOOD EATEN!
Later.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cold, cloudy 10 degrees. Going up to 25 today with a good chance of snow. Winter is still here.
Today is a stay at home day. Have a few chores to do and then , maybe , I can spend some quality time working on the layout. Need to run trains and do some dusting. I'll be glad when this new section is finished. It's been a lot of work. Should be fun to run.
Well, looks like nobody is up yet. Dining Car just rolled in and it is ready for breakfast. Talk more later.
Y'all have a great Saturday. It is Saturday.
Chuck
Received notice this week that an order placed from the previous Lionel catalogue late last year is finally being shipped next week. Hopefully it has some goodies, other than track, etc., that'll help fill the shelves at the store. Things are getting a little sparse in some sections.
He'll be placing the orders out of the new catalogue before the end of the month. If the preorder form is honest some engines and rolling stock could be available by April.
Thanks for the info, John on that MTH locomotive. I've got those evil O27 Lionel switches that stand up really tall and I suspect that might be a problem.... I'll email Tom. I wish he could post more, I love looking at his stuff and stealing his ideas! Wife's scrapbooking for the weekend, except tomorrow afternoon for a couple hours we are meeting up for Cecilia's birthday (friends' daughter who was a preemie - wow, 1 year old! That means I've been posting regularly on here for over a year, since I was asking you guys for your powerful prayers!)
Switches are running good, except one seems to buzz a lot and doesn't want to throw as well as the others. I'll have to check and see if there is something sticking or touching that shouldn't be there? I'm just learning this stuff as a I go along.
You guys might have guessed I love SCARY movies! Well, I rented The Grudge 2 and it is CREEPING me out! Need another beer to help settle my nerves.... TTFN
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Well, got back from the Chinese New Year party......nice gathering, but nice to be home. I am tired, been a long week. Getting cold here, down to the 20's tonight. Had a humbling experience last night. One of the surgeon's wife who is a nurse asked me to help in teaching a guy take a Nurse Assistant class. Thing about this is that the guy is homeless. Very respectful, nice guy, just had some hard luck. Anyway, when we were done, we dropped him off where he was staying. He lives without electricity or heat, has a small kerosine heater and a flashlight that he studies by. Then turns both off and goes to sleep. This with temps in the 20's. I have a problem with able bodied people who don't work, but when someone like this is trying to better himself by going to school, well, it just makes you think about how much we are blessed. Anyway, I had a tough time sleeping last night as I think about this guy in the cold while I am in my warm bed.
We are hoping to stay home this weekend even though I am on call. Plan is to get some wiring done, maybe all of it. I have more than enough of everything and after the experience yesterday, it makes me want to spend more of my money on the really important things. I know we need to have our outlets and passions, but healthy temper towards the bigger things is good.
Hope everyone has a safe and good weekend. To those in the really cold areas, hope you get warm soon.
