ns3010 teen steam fan: That's my English 3 class for me. Almost did that a few times during Edgar Allan Poe, but didn't. Thought of having my contacts wreck my eyes kept me awake. Barely but still I love my English 3H class. Our teacher is a nun (just saying). She goes off on tangents every three seconds (and we don't even need to help!), and we never learn. We've been on Lord of the Flies for two and a half months now, and it's not even a long book at all. That class is so easy. You don't need to pay attention, and you still get a 95, as long as you do all the homework.

I love classes like that. they always seem to be the best until you get that sub that crams the information you were supposed to learn last week down your throat.
If you can read this... thank a teacher. If you are reading this in english... thank a veteran
When in doubt. grab a hammer.
If it moves and isn't supposed to, get a hammer
If it doesn't move and is supposed to, get a hammer
If it's broken, get a hammer
If it can't be fixed with a hammer... DUCK TAPE!

Evening folks!
Flo just a cup of decaf for me at the moment.
I have spent almost all day doing stuff at the computer. Printing up stuff for the Deacons Meeting tomorrow, printing up stuff for the mailing THAT should have gone out to my NMRA Members a week ago, printing up stuff for the MLK Committee, doing banking for the MLK Committee, Printing envelopes, moving the cats off the keyboard and correcting the strange typing stuff they do, and dealing with about 100 emails (no spam either...) just stuff!
I guess it's THAT time of year.........
I'm going to head back to the stove in the back and keep warm and enjoy the new coating of white stuff THAT is now covering everything outside my door. Just enough to work the magic.
Later!

ns3010 Evening all. Robby, I know of a road that is exactly like that shot you posted: This road was build alongside the tracks, partially ON the ROW, WITHOUT permission from the railroad. Then, when the railroad got federal stimulus dollars to rehab the branch, the township was unhappy because it would mean increased train service that would be a danger to kids in the park! But they were the ones that built the road illegally!

Gotta love politicians. I, for the life of me can't figure out why someone with government power would break laws and do something like that.
ns3010 Evening all. Another looooonnnnngggggg day at school. I don't think I actually fell asleep in double english, but I don't remember a thing she said...

Galaxy, best of luck, hope everything works out for you.
Ken, still nothing on the job? Hope you get a yes tomorrow.
Well, I had planned on doing some of my Spanish project tonight. Then I realized I left the book in school. D'OH! So I guess I have a free night!
But I don't know how much longer I'm gonna last. I need to get to bed early tonight... Still not caught up from break.Night!
Todd: Sorry to hear about your mother. Sorry I didn't post it earlier. I've been wrapped up in my own problems here.

Flo please.
Pretty much a dull who cares day here at the Cuda Ken house hold. Did finally get my one and only check from Ashely today, only 5 days late.
Got Microsoft Train Simulator loaded on the new computer. My original second disc got scratched to heck and could not get it to loaded. I bet I spent 2 hours trying to get the scuffs off. Then I had the bright idea to use my thumb drive and take it off my laptop. Worked like a charm. All so found the site for free upgrades and will try loading them Wednesday.
Wish me luck, I bought a ILL Lotto ticket and payoff is $355,000,000.00.
Think I will load Test Drive 6 now.

Robby P.- College BOOKS always were/are big, often heavy, expensive and required for college courses. Then you throw them away at hte end of the semester unless you get in quick enough to sell them back to the bookstore, or are keeping them for future reference.
Todd_ great you found it of comfort.
Well surgery for the other tumor in the left side of my back is scheduled for the 17th, WIll need thoughts and prayers for myself then!
Have a great evening!

At the high for the day here, 34°F and gray skies. may have some little white thingies falling on occasion later. Partly Cloudy tonight with an accumulation of 1" to 2" of "Partly Cloudy".
Brakie, I used to "harass" a young law enforcement officer here in Geneva who is the Youth Officer and does the DARE program at the elementary schools. Every time he would walk by I would sniff the air and say, "Donuts, I smell donuts..." He got back at me a few times... One was when I was on my way to do a sound gig over in Seneca Falls. Got stopped in a sting operation. He sees who it is and waves the other officer off and comes over. I got the 3rd degree on everything. Checked my license, registration, insurance card, and then wanted to know where I was going and for what purpose. Wanted to know what was in the trailer, and why I was pulling it. Then wanted to know the relationship between me and the high School kid in the truck who was working for me was....... He knew both of us.... Did all this with a huge grin on his face, and finally said, "Get outta here!" (Grin grin)
Ulrich, beautiful Church!
There were a lot of others I was going to comment to, but I can't remember what it was..... Started this post and got interrupted twice... So, I best get doing some things that were supposed to be done last week!
Good Morning All!Not much to report from the land of Buckeyes on this sunny Tuesday other then I made my monthly stop at the local donut shop for 2 jelly fills and I told the lady behind the counter I was playing "PO-lease" today and needed some coffee and donuts and I heard a chuckle behind me and when I turned there stood a Ohio State Trooper that look like a professional weight lifter. Glad that trooper had a sense of humor.No big plans for today other then rethinking Slate Creek benchwork-conventional or something new?I shall have a cup and look over da forum.Have a good'un!

Good Afternoon Folks,
well, it´s been a dull day so far. Temperatures around freezing, which makes driving the car a gamble. No sign of improvement, yet.
Janie - a mug of hot chocolate, please, spiced up with a little something you know what - the sun has already set at this side of the Big Pond.
I cannot get my mind of trying to figure out, how I can restart my MRRing activities, with no space and literally no money. Checked for model railroad clubs in the neighborhood, but the nearest one is 35 miles away and has annual club dues of about $ 150 - too much for me. If I had that amount of free cash I could do a lot on my own layout.
Todd - we lit up a candle for your mom and for you in our church.
The church was erected in 1878, succeeding a wooden church dating from the late 800´s. Its altar dates back to 1480 - long before the Mayflower sailed to Plymouth Rock.
It is not a spectacular church, but it gives a feeling of eternity.
Robby P. Barry..........Its just your basic community college, really no student housing. The Youghiogheny River Trail (YTR). The YRT North is a 43 mile limestone surfaced trail built along the right-of-way of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad tracks between McKeesport and Connellsville. This section of the Great Allegheny Passage is open and free to the public. A lot of people bike the path, and some points ride a horse. I've always wanted to ride a bike on the trail. Start in Connellsville (big CSXT yard), and stop at where I got the shot from. Talk about a work out!! Then you still have 100 miles to go if you want!!! No way, not me .

Aaaahhhhh...OK...then. that sounds like a fun little trail...almost like the Hamilton to Brantford Railtrail that runs along the former Toronto, Buffalo and Hamilton Railroad ROW between Hamilton and Brantford....mmmm....now I'm thinking about something along a bike ride as well.... That one is 'only' 20 miles long...although it does go up the escarpment..

Guys- Thanks for all the condolences and prayers. I've given them many times and often wondered just how much just a few words said by someone you've never met and only know through typed words in a forum could really mean to them. I can now say without a doubt, a lot. And I do mean a lot. You are indeed some of the best buch of folks out there and I feel honored to be accepted into the Diner.
Thank you very very much from the bottom of my heart.
Getting a bit misty eyed and have to get to the funeral home for arrangements.
Thanks again for you support through this difficult time.

Ken: Checked your PM's lately?
Robby: What school is that near? We have a few tracks fairly close to student housing up here but nothing that close...

We got a dull morning with a about an inch of snow on the ground now--getting another 2" by tonight though...which will replenish the 10" on our backyard...
I'm doing the visit friend in hospital thing today, guy ended up breaking his hip..then they find bone cancer...now he has fought off a superbug...sheeesh...
Flo, i'll have a coffee and a breakfast bagel please...I'll be at te RC for a bit...
Good morning.
Finally got my books yesterday, and found out I need one more!! By the time I get what I need I will own a library, and that's just for one semester.
I know the mega millions is worth $330 million so I might buy a couple of tickets, will I win...I hope!! Are the chances good?.........HA!!!!
Not much planned today. I've worked on the layout some but not much. I think having to go back to school has me not wanting to do anything. Maybe I can still work on it ever now and then. A small railroad is below the school, and I got a chance to get some pictures yesterday. I was getting some hopper shots, when the train came by. Its a small name RR, but at least I got a chance to get it.
Ken....... I hope you get to feeling better.
Vincent....Sawyer........The NFL posted next years schedule. You might wanna see what the Packers have going. They have the Steelers going all over the place. To Texas, San Fran, Kansas City. They haven't had to go that far in awhile. Of course they did have the Patriots coming thou!!!
The engine shot. And yes the walking track is that close!!!!!! Nothing like walking and having a hopper sway back and forth!!
Todd, as all the others here I am sorry for your loss. If there is anything you need help with let me know. I am not that far away after all.
Flo, some like please.
Finally got the phone back on last night around 6:30.
Feeling pretty bad this morning, sick to my stomach. Did not sleep that great either, had to sleep sitting up because of acid reflux.
See you all later.
I am very sadden by the news, my sincere condolences to you and yours .

Wow, did I pick a bad good time to poke in. Just in time to offer my condolances for Todd and his family. May your local support network be as open-armed as mine was, you know we're here for you!

Todd - I am very saddened by the news about your mom. Please accept Petra´s and my sincere condolences. I wish I had better words of comfort to you and your family.
We will put up a candle for your mom in our little church.
We just returned hom from almost 2 weeks visiting in OH and MI. We were sick practically all the time, and we cancelled many of our plans. Sad to report, I could not meet with Duke as I hoped to do.
I'm behind reading diner posts in December and now in January. Perhaps I'll catch up in a few days. This will be a busy week.
Scanning through recent posts, I'm sorry to learn Todd's very bad news. Todd, your loving care for your Mom through her final moments is commendable. Prayers for you and your family.
JimCG ... Congrats on your new grandson! Keep on telling us about your grandsons.
Everybody. Happy New Year!
