RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Just remember there are no calories in the first six chocolate chip cookies but they pile up after that!!!
A blessed holiday to all.

Brutus wrote:Sure thing Doug! BTW - I'm getting (got -it's in the hallway waiting to be tested and then wrapped) that MTH 19th C AT&SF set! Did you get that one last year?
Jim, That's probably the same one. It came with two freight cars and a bobber caboose. I got the three car overton set from Just Trains for $99 and the Presidential car on E-Bay to also run with the loco. I need to get a couple more freight to go with the existing two cars, maybe a gondola or two or an olde timer beer reefer. It is a sweet little loco with good sounds and smokes like the dickens, at home I generally turn both down about half and it is still quite sufficient.
Just wish I could find period appropriate passengers to go in them. John, jefelectric, has the set and he was using it like a tourist train. More than one way to skin a cat.

Happy Thanksgiving all.
Hope everyone has a great day. I've topped up the pot with Foldgers finest.

Morning!
Youngest slept until 5:00! Yeah! She was up at 1:30am....Doug, I'm still laughing at that one!
Thanks for all the support on the stay-at-home thing...This year was work. The youngest not selleping thru the night, and needing constant attention, difficult to do anything away from her...Next year should more than make up for it. Dad will get some sleep, and both of them will be walking, so we can spend more time at the water park...SShhhh...don't tell the bride. I can't wait until they will sit still so we can go to the baseball games. I'll lure them in with the carousel at Tiger Stadium...(comerica park)
Sir James: I know...I was waiting for a lurking stay-at-home Mom to blast you! Pot Stirrer.
Dinner with friends today, then off to other friends for dessert. Youngest doesn't travel well so we won't be visiting family, as everyone is out of state.
Thanks again to all my online friends! Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone....
It is a cold , windy 50 degrees. Dropped from 61, earlier. Going to drop to 43, today with some rain or snow.
Today, we are staying home and having dinner for two. A good day to relax. I ordered dinner from a great Caterer, and picked it up yesterday. All you have to do is cook it an hour. Comes complete with pumpkin pie. This way the wife won't have to cook. She is still having a little pain and has to sit down a lot. But, things are healing.
Maybe I will run trains later. Good day for it.
Where is Buckeye today ??? There is a rumor that he has traveled south to NC, to do some " stake out " work. Hmmmmmmm........
Dining Car is here and it's time for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Thanksgiving Day.
Chuck
HI GIZ,
Happy T DAY to one and all.
Going to IN LAWS in about an hour, then to MOMs for rest of weeekend. Then hunting deer on Monday. Hope I don't have to go swimming again this year for buck?
Have a good one talk to you on Monday or Tuesday?

Happy Thanksgiving and be safe to those who are Deer hunting.
Morning all. Warm and sunny. Suppose to have a front come through with rain and cold temps.
As for Buckeye, he will certainly be on a "stake out" if he comes to NC. Right beside an ant hill. We have fireants in NC now. Maybe we wil sweeten him up some with a little honey.
All jokes aside, hope all have a happy Thanksgiving and a safe one for all those having to travel.
God bless

1st and Foremost --- HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!
Lots to be thankfull for here, list is just way too long to include !!!
In the past two years, have been trying to teach Chris a few things about getting a job, and how to hold one when he does get one. My intent just doesn't seem to be working. Everytime he goes on an interview he ends up being hired!! I try to tell him that it won't always be that way, and it is usually as hard to find a job as it is to have one. The most recent is working for the Cerritos Performing Arts Center as part of the stage crew. The center is a major cultural center here. (And only 2 miles from the house.) Major performers and enterainers are regular faire. Tim Conway, Creedence, Bill Medley, Bill Cosby, Andy Williams to name a few. Over 300 people applied and HE GOT the job!!! Found out yesterday. Ended up doubling his pay! So how do I prepare him for disappointment? He currently is working at Sports Authority, and really loves all the discounts, and working there.
Hope I don't sound like I'm bragging, but had to share. Especially since I found out a friend of mine's son, who is 15 has been a run away for 3 weeks. And, a real problem. Been kicked out of 3 schools, 6 months in a "Tough Love" facility, caught shoplifting over $200. Unfortunately, the parents subscribed to the philosophy of no spanking just talking and reasoning to the child. And when he did wrong he was just trying to express creativity.
Prayers for all and esp those in the front lines fighting our enemies and keeping us safe(r).
Anybody got an extra Wii console? Wifey stood in line this morning, but no joy. Of course, it's the Only Thing the boy wants for Christmas.
Don and Nick, I have saved 3 cookies, so the race is on - first come, first served!
Happy Thanksgivings all copied this from another forum (modelrailroader coffee shop) but thought it was cute and needed to be shown here

Jim, The Wii was what my lad wanted for Christmas to. They are not any to be had on this side of the pond ether! Luckly he changed his mind and asked for a Xbox 360 which we manged to locate.
I think Don's going to beat me to the cookies unless anyone knows of a SR-71 heading Stateside....
Have a good evening
