Morning guys
went o the doctors about the nail I stepped on. She figures it went in about a inch. Th nail was from a shed that was over 30 years old and the nail was rusted. Would that be a steel nail then instead of galvanized. Anyway I do have a infection in my foot so took today of work and will go back tomorrow. My job is a lot of lifting of stuff over 50lbs so that should be fun. Can't believe the thing went through my shoe and into me. But then again it was still firmly in the wood so it was all my weight right down on it.
funny thing is it bled very little I wonder why??

That's the nature of a puncture wound. Now, if it had hit an artery or a major vein, that would be a different matter.

Ken I like that gravelly wall
Jeremy don't rush things. A foot infection can be very serious especially if you are a diabetic or a smoker. Even if you are not, feet don't heel very fast because we are always walking on them and our feet are hot and sweaty. Keep your foot propped up above the level of your heart today and stay off of it. Keep an eye on it if it looks like it's getting worse, call your doctor.

Hey all
Recieved an email from my Grandfathers brother this weekend, He is a retired colonel from the Airforce. He flew over Vietnam. I was surprised to hear from him that during the cease fire at the end, that the North Vietnam fired at their planes as they flew recon. I also found out that we lost a family service member in Italy that had been unkown to me.
Alvie - Just curious why are you going with sergent vs. Kadee ?
Mr B - careful. Did you ever hear about Lorinia (sp?) Bobbit ? Better sleep with one eye open
Angel - Did you find your BNSF Coal porter ?
Ken - How is it going working with Nancy today ? Considering the three foot holes the Lowes price sound reasonable.
ATSF Guy - Some kits are fairLy simple blue box while other kits are basically scratch built kits with the parts that have to be shaped molded etc...these can be very tough to build
Ricky - LOL "enjoy his vacation..." I understand that one !
Henry - We here in Va understand the horrors too. While I was not here during the civil war and other skirmishes there is abundent evidence all these years later for one to see. When Sheridan went through the Valley he burned everything, he burned the homes of the women and their children lived ( men were either dead or to old to fight ) and then robbed them of thier provisions and live stock. A crow truly would have had to "carry its provisions to fly across " this area at that time. Every where you drive here you can still see the chimenys standing alone where the Union burned the homes to the ground. They decimated the people here.
Frank - Thank you for your service.
Jim - Isnt that something start mowing and it rains a gully washer ! When we pour concrete slabs it can be a sunny day as far as the eye can see. As soon as the last yard of concrete is poured - boom - out of nowhere a storm cloud shows up and just drenches the freshly poured concrete !
Garry - Your cartoon reminds me of a photo shown this weekend at church. It was a photo of a soldier handing a little boy of 8 or 9 years old the flag from his fathers coffin. The soldier nelt down to hand him the flag and the boy bravely reached out his hands to recieve the flag. Tears streaming down his cheeks. Very difficult to observe.....
Richard - You are going cycling in 134 degree heat ?!
Ulrich - Wow that entire z scale will probably fit inside the cattle car in the left back ground of your photo
Jeremy - Glad to see you back in here. I agree with everyone. First thing you need to do is go and get a shot. Especially if you have not had one recently. That is nothing to fool with. When I was a kid and did the same thing my mom soaked my foot in warm water and epsom salt.
Steve - LOL ! Guess they will never get on that train !
V8 - You may want to break out teh heating pad !
Howmus - Can you write Galaxy a letter if you know his address ?
Seems I missed the dust up this weekend. I was busy doing w**k around the house this weekend. Cleaned out the garage, Washed teh front porch and cleaned it off, mowed all of the fields, hired a couple guys to clear out about a thousand feet of overgrown wood fence...I was amazed the guys cut up 6" caliber trees, honey suckle, Poisen ivy that had vines an inch thick, chiken wire that had been stapled onto the fence ...They cleared it all in one day ! Unbeliveable ! Just three guys ! Looks so much better now
Howdy to everyone else - Lion, Reinhard, DER ( where are you ?) .....
Gotta git back to w**k

Steven Otte"It's very good jam," said the Queen.
Steven Otte"No boom today. Boom tomorrow.
I think you should consider not leaving your day job!
Hi Gang,
Just an RBF. for me today Flow, and maybe a cheese and onion sandwich, thanks.
I was just remenising here and was thinking it would be great to hear from David Parks again. I don't think he has come by this way since Jeff passed away. There are so many others that come to mind as I have mentioned before, Like Larry and Sue, Paul in Nevada, Chuck in Texas, Cajun Ryan in the Carolinas, Thank goodness that Flip from Florida stops in every once in awhile. I also feel blessed to get the odd E-mail from him. Also Seamonster from Winnipeg has been very quite lately. Not to forget Fergie and of course Galaxy ????
There are many more that we shared a special Kinship with here that is hard to forget.
We wish you all well and hope you have stayed in the MMR community and hope you will decide to check back in with us here and join the crowd once again.
WE all can have our differences from time to time, but we can always agree to disagree on those things and keep it civil and in the rules of the forum Providers. It does not mean that we are not Friends and still care for one another.
Going down to the LM&E and do a little railroading today before back to work for a couple starting tomorrow.
BTW. I got our little garden planted yesterday before the rain, so Wifey is happy.
Prayers and blessings for those in need.

Thanks guys
i did have tetanus shot a couple years ago so she said I didn't need one. she put me on some antibiotics to help with the infection. Not too sore today so will go to work tomorrow I think. If it gets to sore I will come home.
i also have been wondering where David parks has been. Also has galaxy been it lately?
Evening Dinners
Flo, beer please.
More than likely I will be the last poster tonight so I won't type much. Tonight is a night why I wonder why I like trains! Nasty train wreck, I have 5 cars on the RIP track from the wreck.
Later Ken
I hate Rust

You may want to get tetanus booster ASAP, just to be safe.
EDIT: I just saw the post where you said your GP said not to bother.
Sorry Ken, Maybe I'll be the last poster for the month of May.
I wonder who is going to step up and move the Diner into June this time.
Maybe, Ulrich or Br. Elias, or will Galaxy surprisingly show up. How about YGW.
or Ride on Road, he is usually up early. I know one thing for sure, it won't be me...
Night all, Sweet dreams of shiney rails and bleching smoke in the moonlight.
