Jeff .... I like the green loco. Looks like a high hood GP40. Do you need some John Deere decals?
Rob .... Did you catch the Big Boy bug from Mark? It must be contageous.
Terry .. Yes, grandkids are fun. Looks like an old manual typewriter.
I'll be working oon the layout today.

Mornin' all!
Not much goin' on here.....and I plan to keep it that way!
It's supposed to hit 60 degrees later, so I might just have to take the little lady out or a stroll. Then tonight, we hit the church to hang out with friends and listen to another great sermon. Can't wait!
Check ya later!
Columbianin a soggy Southern mug, thanks.
Hope everyone is having a good day. Rob
Good afternoon to all, cloudy again here today but at least it is warmer (47F) than yesterdays raw 37F. The head cold is in full glory, now I have a cough to go along with the stuffy sinuses, that is usually stage three. And, I am lector at 4pm church service today, I ought to sound real good, like talking with a tin can over my head. LOL
JEFF: You are the speed demon of decoder installs, I think you should open a business and make some money on the side with your talent !
PC: Today it is Acts 2:14, 22-33 and 1 Peter 1:17-21. I hope my voice holds out.
Later,
refill and make it a strong one, please & thanks.
After feed rounds and a trip to the PO, been back at work over in the cabin. Also trying to consolidate all the Inlaws stuff in one location (mostly large plastic containers of stuff). Need to spend more time at the easel, too. Wife is working endless 12 hour night shifts these days and it is taking a serious toll on her. Hate that.

Evening, Janie - a cup of hot cocoa in a go mug, please. Thanks - might have to head out on short notice.
Chuck, good to see you back in the Diner (and Mike too - loved your story!). Wish we could send you folks up there some of our nice weather we had today. Our weather today was really good - 62 F for the high.
Hoople, congrats on the grades - we expect to see that trend continue, young man! Oh, I understand you've been infecting some Diners with the BB bug, huh?
RT, will you need a FRED on the back of that mobile home? Hope you hear definite word soon on the new job.
Looks like some of you have had the nasty weather lately. Glad everyone seems to have made it through okay so far.
I saw my deposit was in the bank, so got some money and I was going to open my account at yon credit union, but found out I have to come in Monday and do that inside instead of the drive-up window. Ah, well... sorry 'bout that delay, Dick! I'll get there Monday, for sure! Got some groceries and fixin's today for making beef stroganoff, put some gas in the car's tank , and paid my PO box rent (and picked up my current issue of MR, which had come in).
My SIL Andy called about 10 till 7 this evening (after I got back from church). to inform me that he and my daughter (Sarah) are at the hospital and I think he said that labor's started. Might not be too much longer until young Drew (not Andrew - that's his dad's name!) arrives. I may have to go find some food at a fast food place - I was thinking I might hear something already, so I didn't start fixing my dinner. Now I'm thinking I should have. That, or Janie, maybe I'll take a plate to go.
Well, better get my go plate and get back by the phone. If I get any pics once Drew is here, I'll see about posting them (unless Sarah or Andy vetoes the idea).
Blessings and prayers for healing,
Jim (future GrandDad) in Cape Girardeau
Evening Gang: I spent the day over at Terry's track with my tractor. The old Kabota with the loader. I cleaned up the burn pile and then Terry wanted to re-arrange someof the sceanery. I'm going to give up the 7.5 inch gauge. It's a whole lot easier to do hills in HO then move a bunch of dirt. Running that tractor is work and don't make any mistake about it. I'll be going back tomorrow to finish up, I hope.
John finished up the painting in the living room and front hall. I don't know exactly what he'll do next. I'll be glade when he's done down stairs and can get working on the bathrooms up stairs.
Hoople congrats on the grades.
I'm really bushed so I'll head for bed.
Good Night All
Good Evening All,
Chloe, I'm just finishing up work, so I'm phoning in ahead. Could you please have a BLT Club waiting for me as well as a root beer float. Thanks loads.
Hoople, What did you catch the teacher doing to get marks like that... WOW
Lookie Lookie, Cape Jim is going to be a Grampa........ Many Congrats to all.
ROB, Sorry to hear about the little goat. I have a friend in Alberta who raised them for many years and I know how attached you become to them. Always very sad to loose a dear pet.
Had a good time today at the Train Show at the Western Developement Museum in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. It is on again tomorrow, those of you who missed today, try and catch it tomorrow. Renewed some old acquaintences and gathered up some goodies.
Some wonderful layout exhibits were on hand and some good buys from the vendors.
Thanks for the email Jeff, that's a great help.
Prayers and blessings to all in need
Can't Complain about the weather, I think it is finally spring in the prairies.

Good evening all,
Garry you were right I did some work down in the train room tonight finished laying the turnouts and road bed for the west end of the yard and the approach tracks to the round house. Now I need to start on the east end of the yard and figure out where the ice house and icing tracks will go.

Lee .... good to learn about all that progress! You did a lot. My ice house is crouded in next to the meat packing plant. I did quite a bit on the layout today, also.
Jim CG ..... I recall that you had said you were expecting to be a grandfather, and I'm certainly pleased it's about to happen!
Johnboy ........ sounds like Moose jaw is a great place! glad you could be there.
Paul ....... that sounds like a lot of tractor work!!!
Happy Model Railroading!
Cool tall glass of water with some melatonin, valerian, Kava Kava and Chamomile on the side, thanks.
My Challenger is sitting at $50...argh...but there are half that many folks watching it, so I'm not worried...yet.
Hitting the hay. Rob

Went to the Euclid Police range this weekend to renew my qualifications; scored 45 out of 50. I was very impressed with myself.
Mornin, an irish coffee please Janie.
A ridge will build over much of the eastern United States, leading to the warmest temperatures of 2008, thus far, in the Wabash Valley for early week. However, two storm systems may bring more rain & the potential of a few severe storms by mid-late week. I am tracking these two storm systems & will have an updated look on just how warm it will get this week on News 10 at 6 p.m. in Indiana, 7 p.m. in Illinois.
Becoming Mostly Sunny. High 70. West Wind 7 mph.

I've been around, just not much to say. Snows seem to be done finally for the spring, the ground thawed, and starting to settle some, to where ya don't sink 2" deep. Even the temps are warming. Still to wet for spring field work or planting to start. And the 30-day weather forecast saying above normal rainfall continuing, looks like it'll be a while yet.
JIMCG,
Did ya gets that new grandbaby yets.
Here's a video of when Bill Geist [CBS Sunday morning show] was down to Moon Shine. Debs in it wearing a pinkish jacket [standing behind him] and the big guy he's talking to is Jim. He lives next door to us.

Best gets round on some chores, hope ya'll has a gooden and thoughts for all those in need.

Mornin', Janie. I'll have a cup to go, and a glass of Ed's OJ for here. Nope, still no word on my new grandson yet. Hope it's because they all were sleeping, rather than the labor is still going (like the Eveready bunny? ).
Well, Diners, still haven't heard, so I'd better get going and try to call them up. Would like to know. Once I hear for sure, I'll post either a pic (if I get over to the hospital and use the cell phone's camera) or a link (if they have it posted on the hospital's baby webpage).
Blessings, and prayers for a productive Sunday for you all,
Jim in Cape Girardeau
Jim CG ..... Hard to wait, right?
Inch ...... Hamburgers sounded so good I went to MapQuest, but I got the following result: The city of Moon Shine was not found. This map shows all of Illinois. Oh well. I did enjoy watching the video becasue it reminds me of the part of Illinois I like best. It's called the Prairie State for a reason. I grew up near Chicago, but it would not bother me if I never returned to Chicago the way it is now.
Lee ... good shooting at the range. We'll have to call you "Dead Eye" .....
Jeff .... No, I don't have any MKT decals. My small amount of MKT stuff is from 1950's so If I had MKT decals, it would not be for the green colors. I do like your green locomotive.
Good morning everyone, how is your Sunday going for you? Cloudy again here today with a cold Easterly wind at 10 mph, rain due here later today. We might see the sun later tomorrow if we are lucky.
I just watched Mike's UTube video on the best Hamburgers in the world, and now I am hungry as a horse. My head cold has not dampened my appetite one bit. More paper layout work today, sometimes I feel like I'm trying to start an old engine with a hand crank ( remember those guys? )
MIKE: Now we all want to know Mike, how many burgers "you" have eaten there? Come on now, cut the crap, be honest !!!! And, where is this little town of "2" on the map in Illinois? Maybe we ought to have a Diners meeting there someday, it seems like it is centrally located for just about everyone from New England to Oregon to Mexico and Florida, as well as Ontario and Saskatchawan......Nova Scotia, a little further guys but very nice trip.
JIM: A grand dad soon I see .......better go get a Thomas the train set.
Good morning All....Sunny and a little warmer here....I'lll have coffee and a sweet roll please...Thank You...
Garry...The hamburgers and cheese burgers at Moonshine are great and folks from all over the world come there...but there is No town called moonshine its just a old store building out in the middle of nowhere...Its south of Casey...North and west of Robinson...and not too far from Belair and Annapolis.....But thats not much help cause those last 2 probaly arn't on the map either...If you ever get in this area you oughta try Richards Farm at Casey they offer a 1 pound pork chop and persimmon pudding {when its in season}
Jim...Is your grand baby here yet?....
Jeff.....Saw you photo out on the thread....I have to say you are a bigger feller than I thought...If you don't mind me asking how tall are you? I was going by your photo you use to have on your posts and I guess you must have been setting down in tha photo?...
You all have a good one...Jerry
in a UNION PACIFIC mug, thanks.
***Lee, nice shooting. But what happened to the other 5?
***inch, neat video. I would go there just for the 25cent coffee, what a deal.
Would someone else please take top of page honors...I've got zebra skin from doing dishes every night.
