Gooood Morning, it feels so good to get woken up by Petra with a kiss than by that wooden nurse just switching on the lights. Did I say that I have developed a strong dislike for hospital staff? Maybe it´s because I spent to much time in hospitals. Well, it is a sunny day, highs are expected to run up to 20°C, a temperature I feel quite comfortable with. It´s not only Ascension Day today, but also Father´s Day, so Petra surprised me with a little gift - a box of catenary poles for my layout! She is my girl! After all that dreaded hospital food, I´ll go for a real breakfast today. Janie, I´ll have that holiday special breakfast, with hot cakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, buttered toast, jam, OJ and a gallon of coffee, please. Hold all that low calorie, low cholesterol stuff - I am going for the real thing today! Barry - interesting piece of machinery! What is it - a ship´s Diesel engine? I can hardly wait to see John producing an N scale model of it! dngnrr - a belated [#welcome] from the other end of the Big Pond! Like Todd already said, this place is the best part of the forum. I spend more time in this place than in any other part of the forum. Although I have never met any of the gang in person, they have become close friends of mine,. Their care and support have guided me through some bad days in the last two years and I do cherish their friendship. It is a little like in a marriage - "for richer or poorer, for better or worse". In fact, I am inclined to say that this place is the best of the Internet! Jeff - "beam me up, there is no intelligent life down here (in Germany). There is still a fairly closed-knit community of trekkies here, but gosh, it is an aging one. On that picture you posted - must be France in 1941. did you spot the guy wearing a Wehrmacht helmet? Johnboy - I am not sure whether they let me out early for good behavior or misbehavior. I guess the nurses were just tired of me mumbling and grumbling all day long. I think I am not really an easy patient [:-^] Curt - the cake´s nothing special, just an ordinary almond butter cake. I like it very much, it has a certain moisture to it and a good taste of almonds. I am blessed with a wife who still loves to cook and bake, fast food is off limits in our household! Ken - it must have been one of those days for you. I am sure there will be better days coming soon. I have ordered them for you! TSF - I would not second your statement that German medical technology is ahead of the US, but the technology we have is available to all the people, although the cost for that is killing us. No further comment on this issue, I see Chloe picking up the soap box and Vinnie batting an eye at me. Chris - that´ll be a perfect story for "a day in the life of Chris U." Frank Zappa would have made a song out of this. NERM - good to see you back - you were on the MIA list for quite some time. Well, that´s all from me this morning. I am going to do some serious MRRing today. Maybe I  have some pictures to post this evening! Have a good day!
