Richard ... It is called ICARE Health Monitor in the App Store. I have not asked my doctors if it is okay, but it seems to match what I get with the cuff blood pressure check.
Mr. B .... Your news is sad. Unfortunately, divorces affect many people in addition to the divorcies. Affects can be felt in subsequent generations. Please know your friends in the Diner care about you. So please continue to particpate when you can. .... Regarding, heart disease, of course it is best to lead a healthy life style, but there are never any certainties. ... I did all the healthy stuff until a drunk driver broke my back. Thereafter, physical actities were limited. ... My heart failure had nothing to do with living a healthy life style or the accident. It resulted from a virus which damaged heart muscle. My arteries continue to be normal. ... There are numerous examples of people getting heart disease in spite of getting regular exercise. I have heard of joggers dropping dead while jogging who did not know they had a heart condition.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
I an not sure that Ulrich has the same options as we have here in the US. Dick Cheney got a heart transplant an he was what, 70 something? They didn't have anyone younger that needed one? And Mickey Mantle got a precious liver transplant even though they knew he had liver cancer? Socialized medicine isn't so generous.
Icare app. I have no idea how they are relateding capillary blood flow to blood pressure and I went to medical school. Capillary blood flow can decrease just because your hands are cold. That doesn't mean your blood pressure changes.
It also measures blood viscosity. That's a worthless thing for an average person to measure. The only to readily change it is to give the patient blood or take it away. Either way you have more problems than viscosity if you go down that pathway.
It also claims to measure blood lipids. I'm just shaking my head.

Henry. I only look at the two blood pressure readings and they are close To cuff readings. I don't know how it works. They have something in there about emotions but I definately ignore that. ... Now that I'm over 70, I suppose I won't be allowed to have a transplant if needed. Not fair.
Heartland Division CB&QNow that I'm over 70, I suppose I won't be allowed to have a transplant if needed. Not fair.
On the other hand, in Massachusetts I'm exempt from jury duty now that I'm 70.

Flo Jan and I will have a and if Ed makes it is, give him one as well.
All I can say about today thank goodness man figured out how to make BEER! I really don't know why I went to work, 2 people came in and spent $50.00? Did not get better when I got home. Trains Just Hate Me Tonight! All simple problems, but ever train I have set up to run had problems.
Jan I am sure you know I was at Ft Bragg as well. When did you get out? Spent a lot of time on Pope, our impound lot was there. It is now Pope Army Air Feild not a AFB.
Mr B Not sure what to say, I guess Congrats from your other post. But sad to hear about the house being lost.
Getting old sucks.

Heart issues are not a fun thing for the individual with it or for the family memebers that have to deal with the effects. My grandmother (the one the F7A and the pink GP20 are numbered for) had Congestive Heart Failure. It was a peoximate cause to her actual cause of death: Renal Failure (effect from the medication to treat the CHF.).
Hobby Front: Not my usual thing to post projects on a Saturday but this is one that was worked on at home. GN/BN caboose. Athearn BB with two changes. One: Smokestack moved to other side of cupola per prototype. Second, road number changed to BN 10077. Weathering using PS GN Big Sky Blue (yes, I still have a few PS paint bottles), and Humbrol Black and White. Microscale decals for renumbering and ACI label.
Still working on other projects but this one was a fairly simple one.
Ken,
Wasn't sure if you were at Benning, or Bragg. I left there just before Kennedy was killed, was transferred to Ramstein in Germany. I was discharged from the 7030th. COSWG in late 65. I have done the google earth and found that our section is now a vacant lot, and the area I used to hunt doves on Eddie Goins farm, west of base is now some type of business. There was a restaurant just outside the west entrance that looks like it has been added on to, and is now a road house. I used to spend some time at McKellar's lodge, and the Pine Tree Club on Bragg. The cotton mouth skin behind the bar at McKellar's lodge was a donation I made, was fishing just below the dam on the Cape Fear River outside Fayetteville with a Msgt. Corpsman from flight ops when we saw what looked like a real large turtle in a tree about three feet above the water. I always fished with a squareback Remington 12 ga. used that to harvest the cotton mouth. 6' 2 1/2 inches long. Sgt Duvall suggested it be donated to the lodge. After it was skinned out I believe they had a "snake fry" Some fond memories of that area. You are right, getting old sucks big time. gotta dede mau Jan
Late night diners,
Ulrich- Thanks for the video. I heard and read about the India railroad but never saw it.
I was watching some old Southern Pacific videos. It's nice to see old railroads before the modern merger era (1995-1996).

cudaken Mr B Not sure what to say, I guess Congrats from your other post. But sad to hear about the house being lost.
I don't mind, really. It's just a lot of effort. The layout can be disassembled and moved pretty easily, and re-configured if necessary by doing a bit more work. The house, once again, is way too big for 2 people, let alone just one. It is simply too much to maintain, heat and pay for.
Eventually, when my old body can't play hockey and ski anymore, I would rather be in a climate where I can bicycle more months of the year. Those are the things that tie me to this area. When I hurt my knee just standing up from the dining room table last year, I realized that I'm old, too, as much as I fight it. The doctor told me I have some arthritis already in my knee, and may even need a replacement in another decade or so. (I'm 70 now, so I've already got a high-mileage body.)
My daughter has moved to her own home in Maine, and most of my local friends are people I've met at the bar over the past couple of years, hardly long-term friendships.
Starting things fresh will be good for me. I'm not going to spend much time looking in the rear-view mirror.
Thanks for your concern, all of you.
Herrinchoker & Ken - This is the only Airborne story I have, but one I thought was hilarious at the time. During basic training at Fort Gordon in January of 1966, we were out in our field cycle. Remember the 2 man tents & the cold ground? Anyway, the DI's marched us out one morning to a little outdoor stage that had a small roof over it. Here we sat in the bleachers for about 2 hours in a freezing rain. I kid you not, we all looked like popcicles. And we were very hungry & tired.
Out of this little shed steps a SFC from the 101st. He was beautiful in his tailored dress greens, jump boots, ribbons & patches. Would have made a teriffic recruiting poster. He went on to explain what a wonderful life was if you were Airborne. In our condition, it sounded like a fairy tale. I was amazed at the number of guys who signed up on the spot. But the next morning, all I heard was "What the hell did I do?"

Hi Mr. B,
You should go and take a look at Laurel, Montana. It is a great place, lots of railroad action, but a great safe community. Good LHS. in Billings, just east down I-90 about 10 miles.
Great skiing just a few miles south at Red Lodge, and wonderful rolling hills for biking just north of town, or in Yellowstone Park, a little further but easily accessable in the warmer months. Sounds like it was made just for you.
I know you are familiar with Laurel from your Sig. Line. you must have studied the area earlier on.
Sorry to hear of the situation, but I know you will make the most of it.
Good Luck in your future endevors.
You know, come to think of it, thats not your sig line, I think that belongs to Bruton from Minnesota. But what I said still fits you well. Go for it...............

I've skied at Big Sky and really liked the area. Again, though, it's a long winter and short summer. And my girlfriend hates the cold...

Flo, Jan and I will have a please and give Ed one if he every makes it back to the dinner.
Jan Yep I have been to McKellar's lodge a few times and one was not to pleasent! Why the Army would think it was a good idea to have a Bar and a Gun Shop in the same buliding was a good idea is over my pay grade!
McKellar's lodge had a pistol range and a E-6 with the Gloden Knights pistol team had just finished practicing with the team. He was enjoying a few with is team mates when is soon to be X Wife came in with her Girlfriend! Now when I said Girlfriend I don't mean they where just friends if you know what I mean.
Witness Told me she was loud, drunk and bad mouthing him. Was saying he had a small weapon [not his 45 or M-16] and her Girlfriend was more man than him! This went on for a hour from what I was told and she got louder and more rud as the evening went on.
Around 6:00 PM the E-6 got up and went to the gun store in the Bar. Bought a box of 45 amo, loaded a clip and went back in to the bar. I was told she stood up and was now yealling he is "Not a real" and that was all she got out! Nailed her 2 times in the chest and 1 time in the forhead. Dam he was a good shot.
Only murder I was involed with thank goodnes.

Tom Yea right!
See you in May, Ken
cudakenand give Ed one if he every makes it back to the dinner.
I'll stop in just to get my free beer! Thanks, Ken. I was just here a few days ago, you must have been sitting in the back and didn't see me.
Busy day today. I had done some tractor work for a neighhbor last fall and he gave me a generous gift certificate to a fancy, downtown Cleveland restaurant.
Mrs. Pullman arranged for a day out with our son and DIL, to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, then the restaurant.
Very NICE but quite a full day. We very seldom go out to any restaurants but this one was very trendy... and spendy! The Botanical Gardens were spectacular.

Well, I see the folks packing up the pots and pans for the move west.
My thoughts and prayers to all in need!

I like the plugs for Montana. There are winters where the weather is cold with lots of snow but others where it is very nice with almost no snow. It's quite hit or miss. But it is oftern said that winter is the time to model railroad.
If we're on the same page, the hobby shop that is mentioned is a very good one. I been in the shop a few years ago (2012 if memory serves). A GOOT (Get Out Of Town) day that I went to Billings. The shop does mail order. Also when Mom goes to Billings, I can pay for items and they hold them so she can pick them up. (She offers. I don't force her to do it.)
