Mike.
EDIT: This was in response to Steven NWP going off on Track Fiddler and I. I see he has since redone his post, and the post that I was responding to is longer there.

Who loves you baby. Track fiddler
Yeah whatever Mike. First a friend and then a foe I will keep you in mind for some rivalry later.
Evening diners, I'll take a bowl of chocolate custard...
I am more of a college football guy than NFL... even then it doesn't keep my focus very long, not really into sports...
Ken, a girder bridge sound great!
Sorry to hear about Nancy, may I ask why the management hasn't canned her?
I'm outta here for now I'll stop in again later.
Steve
If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!
Eveing Diners!
Flo, the gang will have a give Rick and Steven a RBF, leave a Stein outside for Ulrich and what the heck, give Nancy a to put out the FLAMES!
Work Front I was well intertained today and enjoyed immensely! Nancy butted into a sale I was getting close to get done. All that was left was to get the price close to what he wanted to spend. He wanted to spend $500.00 and I was at $550.00 so it was just about there. Then Nancy Butted in! Tried to foce feed him a mattress I had all ready showed him for $1200.00 Forced him to lay on it and demaned he give her his car keys 3 times so she could make him lay on them! I could tell he was getting PO'ed from where I was sitting!
Did that stop Nancy? Heck NO! Kept pushing and pushing! Finally he stood up, told his Wife, lets go and walked out the door while while Nancy was saying " Stanely what about the other mattress, I will give you a Great Prices!" He told her you could not give me the mattress for free and then someting about a stupid female dog?
OK, I lost $7.00 in spiff but I really enjoyed seeing her put in her places!
Steven It is a Grider bridge. I really like the looks, but after 8 years well I guess I will never use it.
Later, Ken
I hate Rust
Track fiddlerWhat a mess. Oh well maybe next year. Track fiddler
As a die-hard Packer fan, it's about time you had some stressfull games! I was hoping for ya, how cool it would be to play the Super Bowl in your back yard!
Go Pack!.....
Evening diners. I will take the Canadian walleye fillet
For real I never had a good feeling about this. I was quite apprehensive but just a little bit hopeful. Philly is just to sharp of ball team. I was telling my buddy early November it will be the Patriots and the Eagles in the Super Bowl. I was just hopeful for the Vikings when they started showing some thread.

I just have not been into football in a long time. When I was younger I loved it. I also loved listenging to NBA games on the radio , but I have not paid attention to that in a long time. Baseball is about the only thing I keep up with now. My Hometwon Astros won it all this year ( of course i do not live there anymore, they wait until I leave.)
For all you Philadelphia Eagle fans.
More power to you. Not. I do not have a good feeling about this. I can't believe nobody chimes in, this is very serious football here.
Time to hang up my lucky jersey for another year.
Typically I love Green Machine just not today.
Drove up to the Shubenacadie River to watch the ice flow out toward the Bay of Fundy with the tide. It was a spectacular winter scene. making a nice hot chocolate and sitting by the wood stove to warm up.

Evening diners I'll take some of that tin off the roof.
Great football day. I was sad to see the Titans lose. Wasn't surprised though the Patriots have been a heck of a ball team for a long time.
The Vikings and Philadelphia next. Wow I'm psyched. Great football today.
Tomorrow I have to have my truck to my mechanics at 8:30 in the morning to get a new wheel bearing put in the front end. Hopefully Damien my mechanic gets it done pretty quick in the morning. Afterwards I have to drive up to Wisconsin in a major snow storm up here in Minnesota to pick up my wife and her sister. Looks like I'm probably going to be a bit tired for work on Tuesday.
Hopefully you guys are into football on top of model railroading. I'm hopeful, I just think it would be great if the Vikings could play Super Bowl for the first time in their brand new stadium.
GO VIKINGS. SKOL! Track fiddler
Just made it back home from Orlando. Drove up to visit the remaining Florida Daughters.
.
The air conditioner is running again so I guess winter is over. 82 degrees outside. No more cold snaps on the forecast.
Really beginning to anticipate my annual Superbowl party in a couple of weeks.
Have fun everyone!

Living the dream.
Good mor....... HEY! who ate all the ice cream? Oh well, fewer situps required without it.
Had one heck of a 24 hour blow that now appears to be over all of a sudden and the sun is now out. A big mess to clean up now. The neighbour had a tree come down and take out my fence. I kept telling him to take the tree down because it was dead and told him it will take out my fence if it goes over. So now the tree has done lots of damage to his yard and my fence. Grrrr.
Had a good time with a bunch friends over last night. Our friend with cancer has booked a trip to Disneyland next week. She loves that place and goes at least once a year if not more. She is squeezing it in during the five days she tends to feel better between chemo treatments. She is taking her grown sons with her and that makes us worry that she may be worse off than she is letting on, as we know one of them is really busy right now in his life.
Well, I had better go out and start the cleanup, I hear the chains saws coming to life in the neighbourhood. I'm usually the guy that pulls away any trees that have fallen across the street with my truck. Being off the beaten track we are the last to get help, so we look after things ourselves. Someone always brings out the beer at some point.
Enjoyed the ELP video, always enjoy a good pirate movie as well.
All the best to all.

Speaking of rip roaring and rollicking, here’s my favourite (though it really depends on my actual mood) song from Emerson Lake and Palmer…
Also one of my favorites. I wore out a few needles listening to the Works album years back. However, I never knew there was an associated music video.

Good one moelarrycurly. I can be a little slow sometimes, after I read it the second time it finally clicked.
I got some great news from the wife a little while ago. Apparently the small-town doctor had my mother-in-law on the wrong blood pressure medication. After about 3 days on the new medication her blood pressure is almost normal and she's breathing well now. I'm so relieved things turned out for the best.
Thanks all for your prayers and support Track fiddler
Goodday diners, I'll take a pecan pie custard concrete, thank you.
I see the diner has some faces that haven't been around in a while...
Modeling front, nothing to report...
Well that's all for now...
Working on my Lego Cape Cod roof design this afternoon. This is the third rebuild. As I make significant changes, I do rebuilds. For example, when I install the chimney on the side of the house, the roof will undergo another design change near the chimney-roof junction.
Guys a "tin roof sundae" is on the house , free..... get it tin roof, on the house.
Gidday Chloe, could you please give Trackfiddler a large scoop of my sundae, I don’t mind sharing, but not too much, as I don’t want to be blamed if his good lady finds him “blobbed out” when she returns home. Seriously though, hope there is a positive outcome.
I was right your Sunday was better than mine Bear funny stuff. Now it is Sunday. I slept in I must have needed it. Gameday in Philadelphia tonight. A big one for us Northerners. Skol!
I am also a fan of Emerson Lake and Palmer. I never seen that video. I like Jethro Tull quite a bit too..Have a great Sunday everyone.
Been a long time since I visited the diner. I'll have another coffee and pancakes with maple syrup and a little butter.
Just completed reading the entire thread so I can post a few comments on topics that interested me most.
Music: The past year was my 50th playing guitar and singing. To celebrate that anniversary, I took out my 1975 Stratocaster from it's case and had a local music shop set it up. I put the guitar in it's case in 1976 when my professional band broke up and it has been there for 41 years. You can see it in my profile pic - even has the original strap I used in my band. I am now teaching advanced guitar and play the Strat at a pub with a full band on Thursday evenings. First song I played on the Strat at the pub was Long Cool Woman.
Dogs: My 5-year old husky has recovered well from two TPLO surgeries that began back in July and now has her power back. She is enjoying our winter weather.
Literature: Last week I found two wonderful books on trains to add to my growing library. "The Science of Railways," Marshall M. Kirkman, Volume V., The World Railway Publishing Company, Chicago, 1903, and "Locomotive Appliances," from The Science of Railways Series, Marshall M. Kirkman, Cropley Phillips Company, Chicago, 1910. See a picture of these excellent condition hardcovers below.
Winter: I love our Nova Scotia winters. I regularly go hiking taking lots of icy pictures and searching for minerals at fresh Bay of Fundy rockfalls caused by the cold weather.
Cheers, the Bear.

t would appear that the traditional Tin Roof sundae consists of vanilla icecream, chocolate sauce and a scattering of Spanish red skinned peanuts.
I'll take a large one too, but I will pass on the peanuts with the skin on. The skin is bitter and it sticks to my teeth and the roof of my mouth. Maybe that's the real reason they call it a Tin Roof Sundae!
My favourite ice cream is black cherry, especially if there is lots of fruit! Praline is good too, as long as there is lots of pralines and carmel! Licorice ice cream is great too, although I haven't found it in many years. Then there is plain vanilla with just about any liqueur poured on top! Oh heck, let's get in the hot tub with some licorice ice cream with a little Ouzo on top!!! I'm feeling fat (ter) already!
What are your favourites? (you can list as many as you want!!).
Dave
I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
I sure had a lot of fun tonight you guys all eased my tension I've carried. Thank you, God bless love you guys
I'll take a chocolate chip ice cream with plenty of hot fudge thank you very much!
Well did someone leave the "Sorry We're Closed" sign on the doors earlier? The diners definitely open now and boy is it busy...
