In order to keep my position as Master and Supreme Ruler of the House, I don't argue with my wife.
I'm a small town boy. A product of two people from even smaller towns. I don’t talk on topic….. I just talk.
Good Morn..... oh boy,.... Afternoon folks. Herbal tea and an english muffin please.
Sinuses are killing me, stayed home from work.
Gonna miss going home to see the folks for holiday dinners. This was the first... first of many. Going to take time to get used to it....
Maybe I'll go do some structure work...
Later, Eric
Largest UNION PACIFIC mug you've got filled with premium Columbian coffee, please & thanks.
Hardly slept last night with the howling wind and thoughts of MIL possibly coming back out here. That and the power switching on and off most of the morning hours. Anyway, keeping an eye out for the Farrier and the UPS guy, both are welcome visitors to the ol' farm.
Will be in a corner booth working on this coffee.
Hope everyone is having a good day.

It's raining like crazy here, and I just washed my car yesterday . I'm just waiting for 10:55 to roll around before I go to my next class and then go home and try to do my taxes. Right now I'm just reading up on the last few pages.
Yesterday wasn't much of a holiday for me. Had to go to work, then when I get back home, yard work, then I worked on my car by washing it and cleaning the air filter. I still have to change the oil, don't think that'll get done today with this weather, maybe tommorrow.
Sawyer, you haven't heard of 24? What's wrong with you? (BTW, I really like that show, comes on tonight too)

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Mornin' everyone!
I'll just have a big mug a dark roast coffee in a FGLK Mug and a bowl of raisin bran of you please Zoe.
I have a lot of odds and ends to get done today, but no absolute deadlines except to pick up the entries for the convention. Probably will do some stuff outside like cleaning up where I was splitting wood last fall before I mow later this week.
Currently 37°F under sunny skies here in the Finger Lakes. Going to get all the way up to 48°F this afternoon. Guess I can get away with the light jacket rather than the Winter coat............
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
Mornin' all. Just coffee please. Brain still hurts and the ole mouse hand is a bit stiff after Jeff's little Easter hunt last night. I was thinking as if it were something about the prototype not the model type. If I'd have known that then well I would have got it right off the ba......(sigh) No I wouldn't.
Dreary day today so I don't know what I'll do. First the bookwork for the Church, then probably pay the taxes (sob), then maybe take a look at the wifes car. Hopefully just needs spark plugss. It idles fast at times. tries to go to proper idle but wants to die so the puter brings the idle up. 45,000 on the plugs so.... Then, and it's a big hope, head to Toddland (of which I'm King). Still putting shingles on the Farmers market. So far so good. And a bad spot where the track goes from a switch that's flat on surface to a slight grade onto raised track bed. wants to derail a couple of cars. If I raise the track just awee bit I think I can get rid of the dip that the crs want to "float" over when backing up only. Doesn't do it going up the crade just down (backing). I don't usually back at that spot but I noticed it when I had the trains going counterclockwise for that short bit. Oh well. Bulletproof the track laying turned out not to be.
Have a great day.
Morning all!
Now that the Easter dinner with the in-laws is over, whew! Next is MIL Mother's day and MIL Bday.
Going shopping for a new computer chair today. This one is kinda beat and the wheel keeps falling off.
Wish I was shopping for a new loco, but *alas*. Looked at the layout after getting into the room yesterday. My, my has some dust accumulated in there. Still can't find the room, yet though!
jeffrey-wimberly galaxySee, Jeff! WE knew we could make you talk! Not that at all. I'm getting ready to sign off for the night and I didn't want you guys to scratch your heads bald trying to figure this out.
galaxySee, Jeff! WE knew we could make you talk!
That would kinda assume I had hair to scratch off or pull out. Since I have little hair left.
Well have a great day everybody!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Good morning. It's 55 and very foggy. The high should be in the upper 70's and it will be partly cloudy. Went to lunch yesterday with my sister and had a very good steak and chicken meal in spite of the fact that the weather was severely ugly. Came back home then attended an Easter celebration and birthday party at my niece's home. Railroadwise I installed DZ125 decoders in a pair of GP40's that are now electronically and physically MU'd together. We dodged the bullet on the weather. The worst of it went to the north of us but that's not saying that it didn't get bad. It got downright nasty! Just thinking about how many limbs could be down on my parents property gives me some hesitation about venturing out.

Good Morning---and I see PC got the top so I'll have a 3 egg over easy breakfast with the 3 of ham, sausage and ministeaks as well as a large serving of those homefries please---and the bucket of chipping hammer coffee as well please.
We's gettin' up to 13C today in the sunshine---tomorrow will be our rain day. The lows this week will stay above zero for a few days which is a switch from the freeze/thaw cycle of last week
As for the 5/6 page writing binge---we can sort of blame that on Jeff, Todd and a few others getting into a guessing match!!---not that moi was totally out of this, mind.
I got today off so I'm going to do some back yard work in the sun----start the ol' tanning season on some kind of footing-----

What is this? Like 5 pages yesterday alone? Oh man, I've got some reading to do!
Fortunately, I'll have plenty of company while I do it. I know all the chow hounds will be coming in now that I have top of the page!
EAT UP!

Tall glass of cool lemon water, please.
***Ray, does Bilbo have a precious toy he's very protective of?

Good Night y'all.
Heartland Division CB&QHey, I figured out what save the captain from pirates. (Are you ready for this?) It was Easter Seals.
Well, it sure sounds like they knew how to "reach out and touch someone this holiday"

HAPPY EASTER!
Now that we got that out of the way---heeheehee---I always knew that---yeah right!---we can let the poor server relax------again-----yeah right !!------I'm still awake and piculous-----think I'll play with the already piculous 'Spring'
BTW---RAY----wonderful cat there!!
Now that we got that settled, I thought I would share a photo that my sister took with my new camera after we got back to her house after dinner. She was trying it out as she has finally decided to get into digital (since she can't find film anymore and hates what the only places she can find are doing to her photos when she has them developed....). Anyway, the photo is for all us cat lovers our there. The cat is called Mr. Bilbo and belongs to one of her neighbors. It has adopted my sister as one of his servants.....
Hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter!
He is Risen (He is risen indeed)!
He's all heart. My mouse finger is numb. I'm gonna head for home myself.
jeffrey-wimberly Since nobody can seem to get it I'll just have to tell you, and I thought this was a really smart bunch. The shell is new, from Bachmann.

* Undeterred by this minor setback, Bauer calmly re-fires the torch.
"There's more than one way to fry a DCC decoder..."
Bauer then realizes the Chief Jokester has revealed the secret. He extinguishes the torch.
"Sorry" he says to young Sawyer as he silently exits the booth and makes his way virtually unseen from the Diner.
Aaaand Jeff ducks out the door laughing. Leaving us like kids with our tongues stuck to a frozen pole. With the date 1976? still on my tongue.
