SHHHHHH!!!!!!
Now Lisa, you are too "old" to be riding on the back of a tractor. That is for the Grandson. Hubby broke bones and you don't need too. Who would look after you??
Packed and ready for trip to Yankeeland. Raiding up there for a few days. Got Southern sympathizer I am meeting up there. Popcorn and off to bed. 4 AM get up to make it to airport. Then I will be there way too early. Better early than late as the unexpected could happen. Later.

Wow!! What a great idea!! The Roseyville Railroad and Hobo Festival would be a great event, however, how would you tell the hobos from the citizens?
Lisa, glad you are okay.

Don - Wasn't using the tractor to "track" the deer. My son shot the deer about 1/4 mi. from his house. We drove the tractor down there to carry the deer back to the barn from the edge of the woods. The tractor has a set of forks on the back with a small pallet which we were standing on. A fallen tree limb caught the pallet and pulled it off, taking my feet right out from under me.
What can I say? Lesson learned.
Thanks Chief, for reminding me of my age.
Lisa
Thanks guys! I can't think of many better ways to end a birthday than sitting here and reading all these kind words from such a great bunch of friends!
I might not be a turkey, but I'm stuffed! Went to lunch at Houlihans with Jeff, buddy at work, and had a small steak and a cold beer (Bud LIght in honor of Nick in England). Then for dinner tonight we went to Bandanas, a local BBQ place, and had chicken nachos with another beer!
Lisa - ouch! Hope you are feeling better! Hope Fifedog is getting better, Kurt's baby, PK's friend, and pray for Mrs. Blueberry (Thursday, right?) and RT (Thursday) to get good news and the best care, too!
Laz - I got the Hogwarts Express set for my birthday ( a little early). Honestly, I nearly got the thomas set yesterday, but the guy wanted full price, about $40 above prices I've seen online and around other places [eek], so I was good and let it go. Kids want to buy me a little something and got a couple $$$ from my folks too, so will stop at a LHS this weekend and see what grabs me!
We have cake and ice cream left over, so come on over any time! If I'm not awake, just knock "My Dog has Fleas" and Chewy will let you in. Be careful, though - don't drink out of her favorite cup or you'll get the Chewy Curse like Sir James
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Laz & Chief - Looking at the pictures of the Big Boys, looks like Laz got #4012, and Chief got #4014. Am I right? Hard to make out the detail. Did they say anything about Legacy, is there a post card or something? And the stack cover, I assume it must be removed if the smoke is turned on right???
Since I'm asking questions, would someone explain what is "Derail" ? Usually seen on those rectangular signs along the track. I think that it indicates that an opportunity to Derail is coming up. But why would someone want to "derail".
Also, I talked a little about Cal-Stewart meet this past weekend. Allegedly, the "biggest" train meet west of the Mississippi. When I attended it 25 years ago, it WAS big! And it would alternate between Pasadena and San Jose. One year here then next year up there. Now it is held in both venues every year. I've attended the past two years, in Pasadena, getting more disappointing every year. This year Lionel and MTH both had booths, 1st time for MTH. And, Neil Young was even there on Saturday. Cost to attend was $30 IF your a member of TTOS, or TCA, if not you have to join. Then parking $6! Sunday afternoon it is open to the public for $10. ($30 member included spouse, and children under 21). Anyway, maybe 3 or 4 train shops were there, but the rest was individuals selling their pieces. 2 "parts" guys. I don't even think I will go next year. After attending York in April, this show was a "non-starter".
First picture is the "White" Hall, MTH was in booth in the Left Corner against the backwall, and Lionel was in the Right Corner of the back wall.
Same room, turned right to pick up other corner.
There was another building that had about 20 tables, optimistically, ("Brown" hall), that building had 3 layouts, and a race track for the trains. (Drag Strip). They also have a Demolition Derby. (I didn't stay for that it would have been too painful).
End of my report.
Don
Ms. Lisa: Glad to hear you're OK! Sounds like you need a 4-wheeler too, or your son needs to bait closer to the house, and shoot from the porch! I sure hope he's cleaning it!
Don: That must be some view from the train roost! Does the Big boy even fit in that thing? Nice show pics!
Youngest slept from 2:00pm-7:00pm, and back down for the night (still sleeping) at 10:00am. I think the fever broke last night. Glad we're over that.
Kurt
Good morning from New England. 29 degrees this AM with a high only of 45. Time to head to Florida and shack up with Lee and his 10,000 cats for the winter!
We didn't run trains yesterday. We didn't work on trains yesterday. Instead, my daughter watched a DVD of her kidergaten graduation and the boys and I watched some old Flieschman Superman cartoons. None of the kids is acclimating to the whole time change thing. They all zonk out around 7:30. I'll enjoy it as long as it lasts...
Prayers for Mrs. Blueberry. Hope all goes well and that she heals fast.
Chief, go easy with that maple syrup. Just a little behind each ear is all you need. Did you ever install that Dukes of Hazzard horn in your wife's new SUV?
Lisa, the only law one cannot break is the law of gravity. So stop trying to break the law!
Aren't all the colors pretty?

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cold 30 degrees. Going up to 50 today with cloudy skies.
Today, is the wife's out patient surgery. Noon. She should be home this afternoon. Then, she will sleep the rest of the day. I'll be glad when it's all over. Left foot will have a small pin in the side, like the right foot. Right one has healed great. No time for trains today.
Jumijo...Thanks for your kind thoughts and prayers.
Thanks , also, to everyone who has wished the wife well.
Dining Car is self service for a few days. Breakfast of Cheerios.
Y'all have a great Thursday.
Chuck
Hi GIZ,
27 and cold with lots o frost today. Got a shop teachers conference to go to today and tomorrow, we're going to compare our tools?
CHUCK hope all goes well for the MRS.
All B safe.

Mornin' boys. Hey, mornin' Lisa, why don't you grab this stool next to me? Oh, can't sit ...? Chilly hear in the Mid-Atlantic region. Not everyone gets to jet off to Florida...
Brutus - I can think of one thing better to wrap up my brithday with...No, make that two...
dbaker48 - $6 for parking would end my YORK adventures.
88 - to your lovely bride. Just curious, can't you page back and save the images you posted on the CTT boards? At least you'd have something. Still a bummer. I'm old fashioned and still draw everything by hand (as you know) because of such horror stories.
Buckeye - I think a special BLUE RIBBON delegation should be dispatched to Roseyville to investigate.
CSXect - My diet consists of NO FRENCH-FRIES 'til NEW YEARS.
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 50s. Lisa, glad to hear you were not seriously hurt. Chuck, hope your "waitress" recovers quickly from the surgery. Chief, have a safe trip. Brent, sorry to hear about the computer issues, but send my birthday wishes to Susan. I was really busy last night. I did weights and a 20 minute jog on the track (usually 15 minutes). Came home, ate supper, and then loaded train boards, track, and roadbed to take over to my dad's so I can work on it over there. I got all the track laid out and marked it for the roadbed, and then I got tired and came home. I had biscuits and bacon on the dining car this morning along with a little Cheerios as well. It will be a very busy day at work as well. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
I worked out last night too. Some pushups and abdominal crunches. I'm trying to lose some of my spare tire. Tough to do at my advanced age. I did 2 of each. No pain, no gain!!!
GOOD MORNING TO ALL
Kurt- sounds like things will be a little quieter now. good luck.
Lisa- take 2 asprin and call the chief in the morning.
Brutus- sounds like you had a really good birthday, friends and family can't go wrong. The plus side of the Chewy curse is i'm getting a great collection of hubcaps from chasing cars. getting them off while moving is tricky but i'm learning to break dance.
y'all have a nice day. Sir James

Morning all
Chief- Congratulations on the victory. While you are up north you are welcome to stay over at my place, the train room is also a bed room.
Doug- Give your bride an ATTA BOY for stepping forward to help. All too often, people do not want to get involved. Your wife showed compassion in helping.
Lisa- Hope the aches are better from the tumble off the tractor
Don- that place is huge.
Chuck- prayers for quick healing for your bride
Jim- pace yourself with the exercise program
Brutus- happy belated birthday
Been busy and computer server went on the fritz. I've got the cap block laid for the garage addition. Got to freezing temps but should be OK, was not a hard freeze. Hope to start framing in about a week.
All take care and may God bless

Just back from my lunchtime walk. It's brisk out there! 45 degrees tops! No pole climbers today. Just lots of people raking leaves out of their yards.
Doug - the MLB GMs are all down in Orlando for meetings. If you see Theo, tell him I said hello!
Wifey will be home tonight. That means meatloaf beatloaf most likely for dinner...
On the other hand, the LHS called to tell me my K-Lionel freight cars are in. And only 8.5 days until the Greenberg train show!
Brianel of 027 fame posted a link the other day to an Industrial Rail reefer. I sure am liking the Santa Fe version. I'll be looking for one at the show. November could be an expen$$ive month!
Six, two, and even. Over and out...
Brent tell susans sorry to hear about her uncle best wishes on her birthday even if she's only 13 going on 14 .
Well all went well at the doctors office he had them draw blood to check a few things out (will know in a few days I guess) the doctor that does the thing with my difibrillator did see where the lead is fine but my heart has been doing a jump quite often so need to figure whats going on there with some other test with the blood they took today. I'm supose to do another stress test as soon as my insurance kicks in so thats after the first of the year acually wanted it sooner but kinda expensive so I just have to live with whats what for a while.
He didn't seem to concern with all that I told him but the doctor with the test equipment was a little concern that I drive with this in me. But told me and gave me a paper with warnings and what to do if driving and I get any symtoms of heart beating fast and all.
Well I guess all is going to be alright. Still don't know whole bill for today but I do know that its up there now some of it is doctors visit and some is test and then there is the reprograming of the device . By the way he said my lead is fine. But we need to keep an eye on it just incase so I need to go see him about every 6 months.
Well now I can look at taking pics of some of the trains I want to sell for xmas money (I do this every year) i try to buy at a good price and sell just befor xmas for xmas money
That and I have trains that I don't see having anyway to use os display so I guess they can take a hike also. (need to get some standard track to put standard set around xmas tree this year)
Well thats about all for today talk to you all later.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne
