Welcome to all the new folks. Sorry I’ve been sorta self centered and breezing along here. I've been kinda busy with some last minute things and well, of course, the tension that I bring on myself. BUT that is all calming down now so I apologize for not being more attentive to my welcoming.
Johnboy- Good to see you again. Ha! What’d we say about retired. My tard has never looked worse. Maybe next year.
OH! Thanks I love that joke. But you haven’t heard the banana in the tunnel joke until you’ve heard it told by the immortal Jerry Clower.(ROFLMAO just thinking about him) Now THAT was a funny man. Funny, funny, funny. Never be another like him.
Ulrich- Glad you’re back. Hope the hospital stay was for something not too serious. I sure am enjoying my tour of your beautiful country. Like I said before, the units I was in, had predominantly Korean ties so that is primarily where I went. A few side trips here and there, but I never made it to Germany. Now I wish I had accepted the one I turned down. Getting married that year you know and figured best stay stateside that year.
Well, I have to continue with my million things project…s. I still haven’t heard from the realtor on a closing date yet. My paperwork says on or before Nov 7th. Buyer said his said Oct 31. I best call the Realtor clown and see. If it’s as usual he’ll say “gee Todd I don’t know. Maybe I’ll check”. Gee, ya THINK?!
Ya’ll have a Great Day!!!

LSWrr Jeff, I sent you an email this morning. I think our conversation is old and might not be working properly.

Good Morning All,
67F and still raining on and off. Still knee deep in it at the shop so just a to go please Zoe.
Ulrich - thanks again for taking us on this tour it is very much appreciated.
Jeff - with all the trees we have wrapped around everything here, when it gets windy I just shut all the 'puters down. Just not worth the risk.
TC - glad you got a placement for your wife. Hope the rehab goes well. Keep us posted.
Sue - that NP coach looks as sad as some of our museum rolling stock. We have a lifetime supply of projects and as usual not enough dosh to tackle them all. Especially daunting are our old Reading coaches as they all have concrete floors. They need a mason not a welder on those.
Lee - I hope you have a lifeboat handy out there.
Catch y'all later, more fun with gearboxes today. J.R.
GMTRacing Jeff - with all the trees we have wrapped around everything here, when it gets windy I just shut all the 'puters down. Just not worth the risk.
Chloe, I plan to sit in this back booth with my coffee and this big pan of cinnamon rolls. Let's see who shows up.
JR, I was wondering if anyone would notice that the NP coach was short something to roll on. Our museum trip photos were taken with a cell phone because were on the motorcycle. If you look at the Beer Barn VI, I posted one of the cabooses.
Ulrich, Glad you are feeling better. I hope these daily tours that you are providing are not covering too much ground. Are there any great rock climbing areas?
Later, Sue
Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Good morning. It's 37 and partly cloudy. The high will be 70 and it will be sunny.I have plenty to keep me busy today. I'll be adding an ounce of weight to my Tyco 'Dutch Cleanser' hopper, a bit over two ounces to the 'Frontier Chemicals' tank car and I have yet to weigh a couple other tank cars. A gondola with truck mounted couplers will be getting body mounted couplers. Several cars need weathering including an old Varney PRR 40' boxcar. Nothing else on my RR is clean so why should it be an exception.
Good Afternoon,
by this time we are on our way to Dresden now. We will spend a few days there before heading off to visit a few narrow gauge lines operated by steam. These lines serve as commuter lines, so steam is the daily fare there.
Just a few impressions from Dresden:
Dresden died on February 13th/14th, 1945, when a fire storm scuttled the baroque city center.
More than 500,000 people had been reported missing after February 14th, as the city was packed with refugees. My family also lost relatives in the bombing.
Let us join in a minute of silent prayers, once we are there.
I hope you don´t feel offended and join me in saying "Never again!"
Morning everyone!
Ulrich, again, such beautiful photos of your country! And yes! "Never again!"
Just a breakfast sandwich and a cup of dark roast to go this morning! I have to figure out how to get a weeks worth of cleaning done by Saturday Morning and get everything printed and packed for the Meet. Why, oh why don't I start sooner....?
Later!

This we need to see. My father was born in Antwerp, but that was before the war (or after the other war) and has been in this country since the 30s. LION has never been to Europe, but did visit Japan, Hong Kong and the Philippines (courtesy of the Navy--during the Vietnam war).
A sneak preview - just to feed the lion!
And this one´s for Sue:
How´s that for climbing?

AWESOME shot! Where is your friend from?
I don't even remember how to post photos here, so I'll be watching for the answer as well!!! lol
Ulrich- I'm really enjoying the photo tour! Especially the sunset shot! Also, I wholeheartedly agree, hopefully Never Again!
Ken- I had to do a double take for your photo with you and the dog on your chair.... How tall does she stand when on all fours? Gotta be a good three feet???!!!! Remind me never to show up at your place unannounced! lol
Barry- speaking of Cat cuddling, as soon as I can remember or someone posts the instructions on how to post photos, I'll have to upload some photos of my cat, Schuadnick ( Russian for troublemaker!) in my wife's lap! Don't tell him, but he thinks he's a dog... seriously! He has growled at the postman, plays fetch, most of the time, and begs for food!

The cat is named Ramu, and lives in the Dakota Zoo (Bismarck). He is laying on a flat glass roof (well, *he* thinks its a nice warm floor) and I am shooting up at him from below.
Ulrich, After the train trip, I will check out the rock. Does it have a name so I can check it out further?
Sue
Morning All
Flo Lemonade please.
Ulrich Glad you are back on the tour!
Tiff is eating just a little bit better, had some more hamburger this morning. But unless we can get her to start taking her dog food again she will not start walking better. Vet appointment is at 4:00 PM.
Sam Sonya the wolfhound in my lap was a small wolfhound. She was only 38 inch at the shoulder. She was the runt of the liter! Good sizes male will be 42 to 46 inch's.
See you later.

the rock is called "Bastei" and is in the "Elbsandsteingebirge" close to Dresden.

Good Morning all. For some of you happy Lunch Hour.
I got to sleep in this morning, Boy did I need it.
Girls, if Breaky is still on, I'll have some Oatmeal and cinnamon toast with a HC. as it is chilly this AM.
JR. I find your quote really interesting. As long as I have been around this stuff I didn't know anything about "Concrete floors in passenger cars" How and Where did I miss that one ? Thanks for mentioning it, I will do a further study. HHHhhhmmm.
Ulrich, indeed a tragety that happened there in Dresden, too bad there could not have been a better way.
Sue, Hope the rock climbing goes well. Lets have a few more pics of what you and Larry are up to. Railroadwise that is................ Ha ha. I do love that creek or river scene on your layout.
BAMA, Congratulations on the increase in Man Power there. Hope all are doing well.
Garry, glad to hear your trip went safely and thanks for all the assistance with getting out the information on our friend Rob. We all appreciate that.
More yard work to do today, now that I have a day off. Also need to get my ears lowered sometime. I am getting to look like Broadway Lion's Wildibeast.
Cape Jim, good luck with those health exams. Maybe next time I am down your way we can somehow get together for lunch.
Jeff, is there anyway of telling how many times that "Faraday Cage" around your trailer has taken a hit for you.
A Big Hi to Jerry and Sallie, Glad to hear the I&S is getting some more territory. Jerry, if you went through that wall where would that get you ?? Besides in trouble !!!!
Wife is calling, so I had better answer that. Have a great day all.

Ken: Sorry to hear about Tiffany. At least her suffering is over.
My kitty sends condolences. (Me too)
CUDA KEN- condolences are in order on the ending of TIff's suffering.
It is late now tonight, but, Tomorrow, there will be an extra prayer candle for her.
Good Evening, Janie - how about an open face roast beef sandwich with some gravy on top, a baked potato, and some asparagus, and a glass of one of your nice German wines, bitte. Danke!
Cool day still, but warming up in Cape G.-land. Kinda cool at 3 C tonight in Deutschland (37 F), but not really much cooler than predicted tonight back home in Cape (couple/three degrees).
On that lions & tigers & bears (oh my) release in Ohio, the news I had heard that first morning was that they guy who had the preserve had turned them loose, and then shot himself. I suspect he was having some serious kind of problems if that was true. Could've been that he was no longer able to afford their food and didn't want to see them put down or get transferred someplace where they wouldn't be treated right (but that's just my guess...)
Galaxy, maybe to get your brother over for the repairs, you could offer him dinner (either in place of payment, or with some payment additionally, according to what you feel is fair). Sometimes home-cooked food will draw a guy better than money. Might w**k... Glad that you're having some easing of your pain with the treatment (and hope - as you said - that they can do as well when they do the other side).
Garry, that's a fair distance to drive - did you and the wife trade off driving? Or was it like one vacation I took when I was married, and by the time we got to where we were staying, it was snap-at-each-other time? (Hopefully not - that was our one and only actual vacation during the marriage, within the last year and a half).
Ken, Sonya is a BIG 'lap dog'! And how's w**k so far?
CN Charlie, any photos of your new layout yet? Your bridge sounds like a good one - I've seen some nice bridges that Central Valley has made, including one that BridgeTom in Calif. has (He actually has several...)
Johnboy - good one there! Hey, you are really getting 'back to w**k', aren't you? As for the next time you are heading toward Missouri, DO write ahead so we can grab some lunch while you're in the area (or just nearby). Even meeting at St. Louis (with some advance notice) is possible for a meeting place (a couple of hours up the road, so to speak). (As for those exams, the re-test showed that we didn't need to do them, for which I'm thankful)
Ulrich, love those photos of Rotthenburg - I've got postcards from there when a friend took a trip there several years ago. Not a lot of clearance going down the streets, as I recall, right? (at least, compared to many city streets on this side of the pond) Lovely climbing rocks there - what type of rock gets that dark?
Bama - Mikayla is already two years old? , I remember when you told us (in an earlier Diner) that she was born. My, how they grow! Started thinking of any boy names yet?
Alright, Lee, you and Galaxy can quit arguing about bragging rights for rain records now! Sheesh, that is a bunch of the wet stuff (for both of you)! Have you had very much flooding around your area, or does it drain off okay? I guess if you keep the boat hitched up, that may answer my question...
Broadway Lion, so long as your friend only wants pancakes (and behaves himself, something we ask of all the Diners), he's welcome in here. Now if he wants some 'meat sushi', he may have to stay outside...
Yeah, Jerry, I was pleased with last night's game, too! (Sorry, Todd, I know you were hoping for a different result). Wonder if anyone will sneak August B. Rally the Squirrel into the game tonight?
I got some more MRR'ing stuff done today. Took the caspia out on the deck (to my spray booth) and hit it with an 'olive' (I guess I'd call it that) green spray paint I got at Hobby Lobby. Also sprayed some desert plants (W-Scenics) that were a bit too bright of a green. I recall cactus in Arizona being a little duller green than 'Kelly' green when I last saw them... Hope tomorrow I can start gluing some caspia branches on my home-made pines and then add some conifer 'foliage' to them over the weekend.
I'll be at the window booth, getting to . Prayers for comfort and healing, and for a good night's rest.
[Edit]: Ken, my condolences for your loss of Tiffy. [angel

1} Jim...I said in my previous post " I even offered him $50 to replace the floor {easy job he fixed it that way years ago, so only need to re-replace with a new piece of wood and retile with peel-n-stick}. Even at the offer of $50 {he is broke- lost a months worth of shop work with teh shop flooded out.} he isn't hurrying over here to quick. I figure I'd pay a handy man at least that for an hour-hour and a half simple work.."
For my brother, either money talks to him or he has to see how it benefits HIM to do something. Dinner is no biggie. He has someone at home who does the cooking. SO cooking him a meal is NOT really a way to his heart. Being he is broke, and if I get a handy man to do it,I'd offer him some money I'd pay a handy man...and I figured he would go for it. well.....we shall see what we shall see when we shall see it where he's concerned... I mean for an hours work to earn $50 ???? his shop is struggling right now, so an easy $50 spot would help.
2} He started it, all his complaining about the rain! bosh! we got MORE THAN HE DID!!! And a major Flood to boot that FEMA is STILL trying to figure out!! NAH NAH NAH!!! {sticks out tongue and blows a rasberry a la Archie Bunker}
BTW GMT RACING- Home DEpot has decided they will re-open!
Well we did errands today and I got plumb wore out at Lowes{last errand}. The concrete floor really does set my lumbar spine nerves on end..even the burned out ones. COncrete floors and me don't mix.
Tired tonight.
SHHH!!!
GOOD NIGHT!!!
Sleep Well!!!
