Sounds like Shennanigans, Chief! Demand a recount! For her, of course! Anyway, Congrats!
RT - God bless and keep us posted.
Lisa, sorry for your family loss and hope things will even out for you now! Sure glad you could help out and I'm sure it was appreciated!
Banilla - Man, I'm all over that! I'll be over in just a little bit, Sir James. Can't stay late, though as I have to work tomorrow. Should have taken off, seeing it's my birthday, but gonna take a long lunch and enjoy a steak and a beer with a good buddy and that makes it worthwhile. Already got my present (to me) of the Hogwarts Express anyway!
Maybe CSXT30 will post on my birthday?! (HINT)
Brent - thanks for sharing the pics, you do good work man!
Kurt, I've got the Lionel sawmill that makes sound, but not the one with the spnning blade and flashing lights - it sounds like a sawmill sort of, in a toy-ish way.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Bad part is Rolesville is now split into two voting places. The voting officials sent a lot of folks to the new polling place. They did not go, but went home. Only a little over 11 votes cast in that place. SO, one subdivision mainly put her in office.
CONGRATULATIONS...Chief.
Can you have a Limo ??
Congratulations Chief !!
Thanks, John

Evening all,
Quiet day here, clear and COLD. Only left the house to vote and do a little grocery shopping. Making dinner tomorrow evening.
Take care,
John
Helloooooo,
Lisa- sorry about your family loss,now take care of yourself, and of course whats his name.
Nasty day here,41,winds 25/35 all day,showers but no snow here. I did see some on the local news though. My train friend stopped by for a little while. He is going to paint a dual motor F3 frame in NYC gray for me and I am going to install a lionel horn in his MPC B & M. We seem to have something going on most of the time.
Brutus- better grab some banilla tonite as the grandsons are eating it faster than I can stock up. I'll drop back later,,,Sir James

Lisa-I will keep you and your family in my prayers for the repose your husbands uncle. It was kind of you to help ease his last days.
Got about 1/2 the block done before I had to go to work. Hope to finish it Wednesday weather permitting. It was actually pretty nice working outside today.
Got to go
May God bless

We took the kids to see The Bee Movie Saturday afternoon. It wasn't bad. I just saw the ad for it on tv, and it reminded me. The kids loved it.
I went to McD's on the way home. They were unable to take a credit card, so I went next door to Wendy's. The food is better there anyway, so I didn't mind at all.

Lisa so sorry to hear of your husbands passing but maybe its for the best now he's in peace. I goto the doctor thursday to find out whats what with all thats been going on with me. I told wife if I can't get back in touch on my own (ie I'm in hospital or somethin )to call chief and let him know to let everyone know but expect I will be on thursday evening and telling you all whats what that I know.
I was off today trying to see if I could get medicaid help pay the doctors (as I don't have insurance yet because new job and couldn't keep mine from last job as it wouldn't pay here in tn. ) visit but was told don't count on it they normally don't help adults. So I'am being stuck with a bill for something that should be paid by them that supplied the unit and leads.
Any way guess life still goes on and I still feel I always gettting $&!# on again lol.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

Temps in the 50's, strong winds here today, but sunny. Haven't been able to keep up lately, hope all is well with everyone. Hope you guys have been behaving.
Been busy looking after my husband's uncle. He passed away Monday at 12:45pm. I was with him. Thankfully he had slipped into a deep coma and went peacefully. The last couple of weeks had been rather painful for him. Have a lot to do around home to catch up.
Well, it's election day so guess the Chief is out campaigning for those last few undecided voters and it will be official by this time tomorrow. Best wishes CHIEF!!
Hope RT is getting his "leads" replaced and is doing OK.
Lots to do!
Later,
Lisa
Back from my lunchtime walk and it is pouring out there today. But the air is nice so I walked laps around the parking garage. Tomorrow is supposed to be clear and cooler.
Almost time to dig the Polar Express coaches out.
Not a heck of a lot else to talk about. Quiet day here in New England.
I'll bet the kids will appreciate some McD's for dinner tonight.
Old saw mill and can not remember if it has sound or not. Haven't run wires to back room yet. All I know is it worked great when I stored it in 85.

We use an air purifier with fan in our bedroom during the winter. Fan during the summer. Wife has to have the "little" nosie or she can't sleep.
Thanks for the support GIZ!
I have a hunch...looking at what's comming out the other end (I apologize for the crudity).
We are switching to formula, a little at a time, and out first needed the pre-digested formula...So I think this one is experiencing the same problems with the powder formula.
Youngest asleep! Today is better than yesterday. I think our company really took it's toll on the family. Things are getting back to normal.
Chief: You have a new Sawmill w/ sound right? Are you happy with it? I'm thinking of putting this on the Christmas list, but would like a review.

Greetings from a cold and sunny Chicago where it is barely 42 and I am looking forward to going to Orlando tomorrow for some conference.
Unfortunately, I don't get sick time to amass but can only roll over 70 vacation hours into the new year. Looks like I'll be doing a bit of what Jim suggests, enjoying the rest of the year by taking every Th and Fri off from Thanksgiving on or maybe I'll do Fri and Monday since I already work home on Th. Of course, I'll have to keep eyeballing email so as to not be buried - ah well. Just finished a nice little book on the history of Bristol Road Shed during the days of steam. I'm continuing to enjoy trying to decipher the differences in rail language and practices between the US and England.Kurt, hang in there with the baby. Each time, I was very aware it would be one of the last times I'd be getting up / pacing, etc. with our now-5-year old. I appreciated it!
HI GIZ,
43 and rainy here today. Put down winterizer on lawn yesterday, good rain got soaked into ground.
No trains last nite read org magazine.
All B safe.

Good morning. A quick stop before the case gets going. Chief's right about Grits. Another note for all the new fathers (or, soon to be). One method of getting kids to sleep is methodical noise.....like letting a train run the rails of a loop. Other methods are running the vacuum, but I go for the trains!
Hope everyone is doing well. Had a good night of filming and a busy week ahead. I will check in soon.
God Bless,
Dennis

MORNING ALL
Cold 34 this am with rain and s%#* mixed, not expected to stick. Kurt, it's no fun being old but I think it's better than the baby thing. Did that already and you have my sympathy. But I have the quiet.
I don't have any outdoor plans so I guess train time today. Later,,,,,,,Sir James

Heading into a new direction!

Since you posted after me, you most likely aren't affected. The entire Trains.com site is unavailable until ~ 7am (EST). Maybe that's when maintenance or something is going on? They should consider doing it earlier, like 3am!

Mornin' boys. Raining & 50 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Ravens must of dragged this miserable weather away from Pittsburgh with their sorry butts.

Morning all. Wife stayed home today [can't sleep as she is making noise]. Selling her car at lunch to some nice guy. Then she will escort her boss [Gail, our friend who moved back to NC from DC] to look at Toyatos. Going to go vote this AM [to make Mayorship official]. Got to harvest all my tomatoes [ripe and green] and peppers. Finally going to frost and freeze tonight. Later
