Brutus!
Congratulations Mayor Chief!

Chuck (Blueberry): Dora the Explorer needed to get Blueberries yesterday...where do you think she went???
Ms. Lisa: Sorry to hear the bad news...you have our prayers.
Got 6464 M & St L operating car complete...Boy I got the whole gammut on what to watch out for at shown on this one. Walkway ends broke, shell crack, incorrect metal frame, PW truck frames on repro truck bodies, 4-broken wheels that were freshly blued...Good thing I only paid $10, and had parts. I did see most of the problems before I got home. I won't plan to do much shopping at shows when I bring kids, too hard to concentrate. Got everything working, and it scares the oldest when I activate the door. Interesting that the operating man in the door frame will work will all single door 6464 cars...the arm on the door is on all of them.

Mornin' boys. Mornin' Lisa. Cool, crisp, yet beauty of a day here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Lots of yard work to do between now and Friday.
Jumijo - I thought that "office" was one of the two polling booths that Chief was talking about. Also, you have Roland Hemmond (former GM for ORIOLES) to thank for Kurt Schilling. He was the doodle who orchestrated the worst trade in Baltimore's history (the Glenn Davis deal).
dbaker48 - I just had to respond to Lisa's post...and your name just popped up, sooooo under the bus you went. Plus, I figured that you would have to travel the farthest to kick my tail. All in good fun. BTW, love your new "living quarters"...
FJ&G - Thanks for the "health" report. I'd like a double-whopper, thank you. With cheese, thank you...
Chief - Good thing PEEKS got that reprieve....every vote counts. CONGRATS.
mitchie - It hurts when I do this. Plus, there's still a shard of glass in the back of my noggin'...(kicked open the barn door on that one...)
BRUTUS ---> Go ahead and have two scoops of ice-cream. I've recently read where a little beef around the middle is healthy.

Congratulations to the Chief for his landslide victory.
Lisa, my condolences to your family.
DBaker... You Californians always are always the first to try something new. In this case

Kurt,
That's why I go to shows alone the first day. All the kids want to do is get a box of pop corn and a soda. Then look at the Lego layout allllllllllll day. What is wrong with them???!
Seriously, I do go to shows alone the first day so I can see and buy what I like at my liesure.
There is a show coming up on the 17th and 18th and I have been invited to run some of my trains on a club's layout. I'll do that only AFTER I've poked around.
Modeling the Baltimore waterfront in HO scale
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 40s. Spent yesterday taking Lucas in for a four month checkup. Everything is ok. His math grades are another issue...again. We'll just have to work on them some more. Congrats to the Chief on his win! We had some elections up here and the incumbents lost. The race in Greensburg was not much of a surprise even though the current mayor was the one who was here when Honda announced they were locating here. There were several incidents and other statements that occurred that probably led to his defeat. The big surprise was in Indianapolis where a relatively unknown candidate with roughly $50,000 and no political support from even his own party defeated the incumbent who had a $1.5 million budget. The good thing is that he owes no one any favors. It is good to see a situation where money does not always win campaigns.
Happy birthday, Brutus! Condolences to your family, Lisa. Doug (cnw1995), enjoy the time off. Worked out at the YMCA with only a 20 minute jog last night. The track was getting too crowded with too many "Milka Dunos" (i.e. moving chicanes) and I was getting tired so I packed it in early. I saw where Helio survived another week on "Dancing with the Stars". Most of the weaker competitors are now gone so it will really get tough now.
I had an extra doughnut on the dining car along with the usual fare. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
rt - It sounds like you need to seek out a firm that is putting together a CLASS ACTION.
cheapclassics - I'd be willing to follow Milka Duno around the track. ...and through the garage area ...and to the grocery store

Not me I wouldn't do anything like that
GOOD MORNING
A cold 32 w/clouds, another not a nice day. I know I live in Mich. but why does winter have to be ten months long. Of course it's not but it seems that way.
Brutus-HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
It appears some are complaining about the HWX set so maybe by the time they make one for me the problems will be fixed.(i'm at the end of a long list of preorders)will wait as I want to buy from my favorite local. I saw one running at the show sunday at it didn't seem to have any trouble, good smoker. Sir James

All rise. Now bow. [Playing in the background, Hail to the Chief]
Morning all. Headache from all the Champagne and smoke filled room. Actually went to bed early and got extra sleep. Wife drove her 4 Runner to work this AM [first time she has driven it]. She loved it. Been typing letter to Regional Transportation Committee. This reminds me of my old job. Have a good one. Got to pack for early flight tomorrow to Yankland [CT] for Cabela's Grand Opening. Big seats from Reagan to CT. Little jet from RDU to Reagan. Later.

I will grant that she is semi-attractive, but fast????
I had no problem getting on to the forum this morning at 6AM.
Brutus-Happy Birthday!!
anjdevil-had a great visit with you Saturday. Look forward to more chats. Maybe we can get together at some point.
Haven't done much with trains for a while. Too much else going on. Classes, grading papers, choir practice, church, watching the Jaguars through my eyelids at the Church of the Holy Recliner, medical tests, and on and on.
Now I am being asked to build a cat house!

Roadtrip, Fifey?!
Back from my walk and it feels like November out there today. Temps in the very low 50's at best. I watched some utility worker on a pole work on a line a good 50 feet up with no harness. He never fell so I kept on walking. He was still up there when I came back so I watched some more. He never fell so I kept on walking.
Back to making money for a few more hours.
Cool & Crisp for my FRIDAY!!!! 2 days off!!
Lisa - condolences...
et tu, Brutae?
MISTER Mayor!! Congas! And the new First Lady of Roseyville gets a new SUV..... and nice new digs courtesy of Jim...
Mel-- good luck on the CatHouse!
Later!!

Brent: Package arrived safely! What a bunch of beauties! Thanks again!
Daughter is finally crawling around the house...very clingy most of last night...we spent the night on the couch, she sat up in bed at 3:00am, and wouldn't stop crying screaming. I had to carry her around most of the am...she didn't want to eat... Gave her some manderin oranges and tater tots for lunch. One hour and 5oz of formula later she's happy! She had a slight fever last night, and today, so we think she's fighting off some virus...oldest too, not quite right.
Mel Good luck on the CatHouse, as well! Hubba! Hubba!

Hmm.....The Chief is just elected Mayor of Roseyville, the wife has a new SUV from an out of town dealer, he has a new Lionel Big Boy, another fancy car is on the way, and he is flying the big seats to Connecticut. Now it is time for Roseygate!!! Woodward and Bernstein obviously are heading to Roseyville to sort out the corruption for the Washington Post.

Congratulations Chief! Hope they don't take too much of your train time away for civic duties.
Lisa, sorry to hear the bad news. It is a good thing that you were able to be there for the last days. You truely have the angel of mercy spirit of the nursing profession.
Got a package from the train station last week with some older OGR and CTT magazines in it. One is the All Star Trains, first edition sealed in the wrapper. I already have one, but I am sure I will find someone in need. Also, lots of great information about building control panels, etc. I will have plenty of reading to do.
HOpe everyone has a blessed day,

Have a great time in Orlando, Doug! It was mighty chilly waiting outside for Julia at school this afternoon! Time to get the snowblower tuned up!
Hey Dennis, I've been looking for a copy of the First All Star Electric Trains! I never got one.
Hey guys! Only got to read the last couple of pages. Thanks to all for the kind words and condolences.
So..... Let's see if I got this right.......
The Chief is now Mayor Chief (or is it Chief Mayor?) and already an investigation has been launched less than 24 hours after the election.....
DonB is living in a doghouse...his trains are in a tent on his roof - that must be one steep grade!
DougM has left Chicago for Florida and he's not yet old enough to retire....
JimA is trying to knock workers off of power poles by telepathy......
Brutus is another year older.......
Brent sent Kurt some kids by mail............
RT is suing his heart wiring....
Man - I'm tired just trying to figure all this out
....And then, I took a nasty tumble off the back of a Ford3600 tractor Monday night. Was out with my son and husband tracking a deer my son had shot. No real injuries but I hurt in a lot of places I didn't even know I had!
Lisa
Greetings All
Happy Birthday - Brutus !!!!
Doug hope you and your bride get some fine time during your trip!!
Congratulations Chief - MAYOR - That's good ! As I understand it, one of the primary tasks is raising the standards on crime prevention and investigation. That's going to be tough! Trying to solve all those cold cases, given that everyone in the south has the same DNA and there are not any dental records.
Negotiations are on going here, (wait till she finds out my Big Boy arrives on Friday) coming up with some secret plans. Everything should work out!!!
Lisa - Just saw your post, Thank Gosh your OK!!!! I didn't think you needed tractors to track deer! Sounds like a wagon is needed!!!
Don
Still sticking to optifast diet so far and feel energetic and lighter.
Lisa sorry for your loss and hope you are not seriously hurt from fall off of tractor(I fell off a fork lift once I guess that is why they have safty belts)
Chief as mayor maybe you could collaberate with NS to establish a Railroad festavil in Roseyville.
Brutus- we allways knew you were a turkey My youngest sister has her B-day thanksgiving.
Job is getting better everyday as I grow used to the processes.
