The most work I'm doing tomorrow is hiding easter eggs around a hospital room! That should pick up his spirits, huh?
Happy Easter Everyone!

***Alex, there is something disturbing about that bunny.
Here is a painting I did some years back. Closest thing I have to Peter Cottontail, although this one was actually a Marsh rabbit, if memory serves me. Looks much more real in person than in this pic.
Happy Easter, folks. For some reason this DSL is like dial-up tonight, so although I'll be in the corner booth eating, I will be off-line.

Hello Mike, welcome to the Diner. I'm sure you'll find lots of help here. Hey, I know what it's like working nights, I worked graveyard shifts for 15 years straight. Things like putting out newspapers, security guard, store clerk and various other occupations until I was forced into medical retirement. Now I have all the time I desire.

Merry Easter Bunny to all!
Good news: (as most of you know both my kids are severe to profound hearing impaired) my daughter Samantha made the Dean's List last semester!! William is looking into going to New York this summer for a week....to RIT. (Rochester Institute of Technology) He is interested in engineering!
Jeff, I think that WM boxcar is my favorite weathering job on your line.
Goofymike01; welcome to the diner! What scale is your layout? I think if I built a 4x8 layout again I would be tempted to buy the Woodland Scenic's kit.
PC, good luck with your Easter egg hunt I'm so glad you and your family can be together today, something I'm sure you're truly grateful of.
Happy Easter to all of you from all of us at the L.S.&W,

WELCOME to the dinner GOOFIE MIKE, I'm a Mike also and building an HO layout on the 50's. Your job sounds like an interesting one. Hope you enjoy all the visits here.
An early Easter this year
Easter this year is: Sunday March 23, 2008 As you may know, Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.
Here are a couple of things you might be interested in:Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier!
Here are the facts:
The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228(220 years from now).
The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).
The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now).
The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!

Good morning everyone!
Happy Easter!
I hope this wonderful news finds all of you well.
Don't worry, I'm not going to launch into a sermon (though I'm so excited that I could).
Hey Mike, welcome to the diner! Come on in and sit a while! Small world.....my father was on the design team for the original B1a. That was like a lifetime ago!
Getting ready to head back to the hospital. Seems a certain bunny was here last night and so I need to make a delivery!
Oh, and check this out! I flipped on the TV this morning and one of my all time favorite movies was on.....Mars Attack! Love that flick! A classic B movie spoof. Watched it for a while while I let my daughter sleep in a bit. She's been working long hours and then doing the hospital thing, so she needs the rest.
Well, the report from the hospital is looking tough. The pain levels are going down, but some new complications have risen up. (I just got the call as I was typing this.) They're working on it now. I'm hitting the door here in a few minutes. Just waiting on my daughter to get ready.
And with that, I'm gone!
Poof!
I'd like to wish a Happy Easter to all.
Welcome Mike, gee, when some of us get done with you, I bet you'll be running out and putting that slab down for your out building real quick. I assume you model HO. Well there's a lot of great, knowledgeable guys here. Interesting job you have there. I was Navy aircrew P-3, chased those nukes around the Atlantic back in the 70s.
Philip, I hope you can make the best of the holiday at the hospital. I guess all that counts is your son doing well and having the family together. Special prayers for you today.
I have to get going soon, really tired. Sunrise service today was nice. A good rememberance of my wife who loved going every year. What a view of Boston from the top of that hill at sunrise.
Now it's off to church. My daugthers have continued the tradition of the narthex Easter garden. What a beautiful job they did. April had them help her when they could barely even walk. Now 23 years later... where does the time go.
Enjoy the holiday.

Hello everybody ...
Happy Easter. He see the chapel car spotted at the diner for Easter services as well as prayers for all with needs.
Hello Mike Sounds like you have quite an interesting job there. I recall some 1980's era MN railroading myself. CN's subsidiary, the DW&P had its yard terminals in Duluth area. It's then-new yard was next to Superior, Wisconsin close to Duluth, MN. Duluth had plenty of train-watching available.
PC ..... we'll be thinking of you today.
Bobk .... good to see you
Lee .... Yes, I recall your telling us your kids were hearing impaired, and the doctors' efforts to restore hearing. Sounds like you have ample reasons to be very proud of your kids!
Inch ... That's interesting info on Easter. Do you have any plans for the next early Easter that's 220 years from now?
Looks like Ryan planned a great menu .... Thenks Ryan.
Blessings

Welcome Mike, modeling can be quite fun! I wish you luck on your future layout!
So far my little brother is finding the eggs, and I'm fine with that.
Last night I had dreams of my big boy and challenger... So I guess the anxiety has increased a bit eh Rob?

LEE: Congrats to the kids from me, also!
PC: We're all pulling for you and yours!
ROB: do you have an online gallery or a spot I could see your stuff? Robyn liked the bunny.We've got some Redlin, Bev Doolittle, Chris Cummings,( great big white horse) Van guilder(loons eating minnows/wolves), so yes we like wildlife art. The guy I'm doing the work for also is big into Redlin,et al., as are some of our biker buddies.I'd like to see more of your work.
(The loon isn't eating the wolves,2 seperate paintings)
,GoofyMike! What part of MN. are you modeling? I grew up in South St. Paul, home of the SSP packing plant.Seemed like everyone worked for Hormel or Armour's back then.At one time ,only Chicago was bigger.Plus, 3 -5 railroads served the area,IIRC.
That's about it from northern Wisconsin,on our way for brunch.

Hi Gang:
PC: I hope that evrything is all right. Drop us a line.
Not much going on right now. After breakfast I went down and did some more cleaning of the area where we've been feeding all winter. Boy, what a mess. I'm going to go out to the barn and fix the truck for the narrow gauge gon that has the broken axle. Mary Ann has fixed diner for the family. Baked ham. John and Diane and Lara Elisabeth are coming over around 1pm.
Welcome Goffymike. I'm modeling a freelance iron ore hauling RR in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
The kids just arrived so I got to go.
See you all later.
Just don't leave any candy bunnies alone... or you'll never have to restock for Holloween again. They;re as bad as their counterparts.
hey Mike!

Interesting we have people modeling ore railroads from the Lake Superior area, Your modeling hauling the ore to the ships in the upper Great lakes and I'm modeling a railroad that receives iron ore from ships in the Lower Great Lakes and hauling coal to be transported by ship to the Upper Great Lakes. ( I need to get the mainline done, last year we received 750M tons of the stuff)
Our first Polish Vessel should be in town this week (weather permitting) to drop off nickel and steel.
I hope everyone had a good Easter. Thoughts and prayers to all.

Afternoon all another irish coffee please Janie.
Got home abit ago from the Easter at #1 son's house and we had the egg hunt during a light snow.
This left me with a QUESTION, The old saying goes, if you have rain on Easter Sunday, it'll rain for seven more Sunday's [which holds true most the time].
Since we had snow today is it going to be snowing on Sunday till MAY ???
Good afternoon. Happy Easter.
I thought that I would share my riverbed progress.
