Well I am back. We have had so much rain in the last few weeks that our phone lines (underground) were swimming. I could not call out or receive a call and could not get on the internet. I also found out that even at 3 am in the morning the phone company repair number is "busy". I am going to complain to the proper authorities over that. There is no way that even at 3 am that line should be busy. This whole ordeal is nothing but fishy. [:(!] <br /> <br />Ed [;)] <br /> <br />Thanks for the idea about writing a post in another program and then copy and paste it here. If I continue to have problems I may be forced to do so. <br /> <br />Well I guess everyone got to meet Adrian. <Crazy Kid> He is a hoot though. [;)]He has become the unofficial "fix it man" in his college dorm. For those who do not know much about him here is a little run down. He is about 6 foot 2 inches tall and this is his first year in college. He is a electrical engineering major and is in Air Force ROTC. If you have checked out his links there is a pic of him standing next to his black ford truck. He doesn't look that tall does he? Now you know how big that truck is. [;)] On his floor in the dorm everyone but he and one other guy were put on probation for a "drunk" party. He was able to talk 2 girls who were going to go to that party out of going to that party and one other young man didn't attend the party. They four stayed in Adrian's room and had pizza and cokes. EVERYONE else on the floor attended the party, got tea totally drunk/wasted/pasted out and put on probation. The next day the 3 visitors to Adrians room all thanked him for keeping them out of trouble. So you can see he has a good head on his shoulders. He likes the Lehigh Valley Railroad and trains. He is a young man any father would be proud to say, "That's my boy." <Hope he doesn't read this [:p] > <br /> <br />Actually we have a good many young men in the forums who have achieved some really good things in their lifetimes. Another young man (Chris) is a senior this year in high school. He is diesel qualified and steam boiler qualified (under a regular fireman) on a local short line. He is already enrolled in the Navy, and will be working on the ships engines. <br /> <br />So all is not lost on the youth of today. We do have some good young men in the forums. <br /> <br /> <br />Well Ed sent me his cold spell so now my floor furnance is lit and working. It is about 60 right now and I really don't know how low it is going but now I am ready. [:(] I sure hate to spend that money on heat but heat is better than being cold. <br /> <br />Does anyone have a Christmas layout up and running? I am thinking about doing something. (Ed, a small layout around the tree would certainly be appropriate.) I will have to check into that. <You too.> [;)] <br /> <br /> <br />Oh yeah, I went and rode the River Rail the other night. It definately won't get any speeding tickets and the ride is a little on the rough side but it was still fun. I will make a seperate post about it in the <i>Trains.magazine</i> forum. <br /> <br />Everyone Take Care and Enjoy the Weekend. [:)] <br /> <br />
