NWP SWPI cut/hit my head digging a post hole
Can't quite figure out how you managed to do this. Improper use of the post hole digger? Operator error?
NWP SWPI will be complaining to the DMV,
That's the one thing you don't want to do, at least until you get your license. I don't know how many instructors there are, but they will stick together. So a complaint about one will potentially cause all of them to take offense. And if that happens none of them will let any mistakes slide.
Alright, I got four staples, in my scalp, without a pain killer no less.
I'm on concussion watch for the next 24 hours, so yeah.

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!
Hey guys,
I am writing this from the local ER waiting room, I cut/hit my head digging a post hole, the bleeding has stopped so that's good.
We left the ER and now are at the after hours clinic, the wait here is still long but the wait at the ER was really long.
Hopefully I don't need stitches!

Evening diners.... I'll have two aspirin and a Coke please.
maxman I'm sure that one above was for me last night. I did bust a gut when I seen it. I had that one coming. As my dad used to say "If the shoe fits wear it".
Yeah you'll have to excuse me. I got a little out of the box. I don't know where that lovey-dovey crap comes from. It's better than getting mean I guess, but not much.
Painful day at the office. I was sweating bullets framing a deck. Those green treated timbers aren't getting any lighter as I'm getting older. It's hard enough work under normal circumstances.
Well... my way of humbly saying pardon me.
Thanks for listening...Track fiddler
Good afternoon ...
Lion ! .... Nice to see you ! .... Roar !
Steven NWP SWP ..... I think you handled that well. Don't let it bother you, and forget about it. ..... You have two ears for a good reason. You can let it in one ear and out the other !
Speaking of Colorado, a great train between Denver and Dallas was the Texas Zephyr.

Hey Steven....
NWP SWPI tried to be curteous in an effort to improve her mood, no luck, I will be complaining to the DMV
Ya done good, kid! Always remember: "Never argue with an idiot, people watching may not be able to tell the difference!" And a line from an oft used dismissal in my church, "Return no one evil for evil." Even be very nice when you complain to the DMV... Do remember that she may just have been having a very bad day. (especially having to deal with ........ Teenagers!!!! LOL
I have been setting up the dining room/computer room here at my house for a Youth Protection Training session for the Pack and Troop leaders where I am commissioner. Expecting about 7 people plus the trainer. This is a new and different training than the one they were using and includes a lot of new appropriate information for the changes happening on Scouting. I took it at the last District Roundtable, so I am just hosting it. Got lots of snack stuff here for everyone too.
Hey Brother Big Cat, have a great vacation! I look forward to the pics when you get back.
Have a good one out there!

Afternoon diners,
Had my third day of driving today, different instructor today, she does not like teenagers, she had an attitude that would get most people thrown out of the car, I tried to be curteous in an effort to improve her mood, no luck, I will be complaining to the DMV, she was yelling every time I made a mistake even if it was a small one, which I understand her needing to correct my mistakes but yelling is not acceptable nor necessary.
A very merry vacation time for our feline friend!
Spend an hour watching a trio of deer grazing on the meadow behind our house. What a serene and beautiful sight! If it weren´t for man, the world could be a beautiful place...
Happy times!

Look! Here is the LION.
Look FAST, him is going on vacation tomorrow, and the first stop is Eau Clare Wisconsin, Him will visit Toy Train Show sponsored by Menards and MR. Hope to see some MRites there.
From there him will go to Duluth, I'll stay with the Benedictine Sisters there, and will visit rail, and ship museums, and also the Duluth Zoo which has an African Lion that I want to see.
I'll return along the northern border of North Dakota, and will spend a day at Lake Metigoshe.
Final stop on the way back to the Abbey will be at Cartwright ND where the Great Northern built a tunnel and drawbridge. Their plan was to relocate their mane lion to a more southernly route. Army Corps of Engineers had different plans, they flooded the Missiouri River to create Lake Sakakawea.
Oh Well...
Have Camera will Travel... Photos forthcoming when I return.

Maybe a metal washer will do the trick?

Good morning ....... Coffee and a donut, please.
Bear.... That's funny.
CN Charlie.... Pet health insurance ? ... That's something. Sounds like it is worthwhile in your case.... I hope thye can cure your dog's disease.
Ed .... I like the post card.
We figured out where Lion is. Now, where is Galaxy? .... and several others ?
This is another photo from the CO Amtrak trip. Looking back from the window of the rear door, we see one of many tunnels as the train climbs up the Eastern Slope.

Yeah I get it
A little bit of nice goes a long way.
It's tough going to back work after a long time off. But it gets even tougher if you don't.

Another restless sleep night here Ulrich. This chair unfortunate enlightenment has saddened me. Let me know if I can help and I will how I can.
Good morning Ulrich
I'm glad your morning started decent. Those careless people throwing cigarettes starting fires is much unwarranted.
I can say that because I don't smoke anymore. I was never idiot enough to throw live cigarettes out the window though. To bad our wives can't join our quit smoking team.
I need you to say a prayer for little Robbie, CN Charlie's little dog needs our prayers. I know the other Forum members will join in.
I'm a little late praying for Sparkie the cat I just got wind of that from Reading Eds post.
I'm up too late. I got to hit the rack. Work tomorrow
Take care and have a great day.
Tinplate ToddlerThe fire department is on alert - yeterday, they had to put out quite a number of little wayside fires
Fortunately, those were little wayside fires. This youngster destroyed 47,000 acres in a fire that burned for three months.

Good Morning, America! How are you?
It´s a nice day again. Right now, the fresh morning air makes it pleasant, but temperatures will rise beyond the comfort zone for me in a couple of hours. The fire department is on alert - yeterday, they had to put out quite a number of little wayside fires, caused by beep (expletive, deleted) sons of beep (expletive, deleted), throwing cigarette butts about!
My new office chair is giving up its ghost. The ditributor is sending a new pneumatic spring, but that won´t solve the issue. Although supposedly designed for heavy duty use way above my weight, the spring won´t hold it. I guess I have to order a new chair, which will put an end to my layout building activities for a much longer time than I was afraid of.
Well, this is life! when you thought your head is above the water, someone empties a bucket load over you!
Evening everybody,
Well I've had a pretty decent Independence day, hope you guys did too.
After a long while of having lost interest in aircraft I've finally gotten reenthused about flight! I'm considering buying a BNF P51 Mustang RC next paycheck, I'll also probably be buying a small gopro to shoot some aerial footage.
Well that's all from me.
CN Charlie.... I've said before.... Pets Are Family. Very important here. Your little dog Robbie is in our prayers. I know other Forum members will join in.
Karma has a way of coming around. All positive energy given here, little Robbie will come around.... stay positive.
PS.... You spoke of Winnipeg. There are a lot of good Canadian people on the Forum now praying and pulling for little Robbie too.
Hello, folks.
I hope everyone is safe and well...
cudakenEd Good to see you posting again and thanks for the photos! Have you PM me yet on the cost of the passangers yet?
I may have slowed down a bit, Ken, but I'm still here
You won't see a bill anytime soon— please use the extra funds toward Sparkie's meds. Package WILL be in tomorrows mail. Finally.

Evening Diners
Just stopping in again to say happy 4th. Fireworks starting soon here. We seen them last night, not in the plan tonight.
Back to work tomorrow. We went out today, met a few friends, had a few beers and got home in time for a late dinner.
Judy had found some red white and blue taco shells earlier in the week and surprise me with them. We had our Star-Spangled tacos. Go figure! It was kind of fun.... made me chuckle.
Yes we're quite the exciting folks tonight. We will watch the fireworks on the 10 o'clock news and hit the rack.
I hope you all had a great safe 4th.... Fun talking with you all

Flo give the gang and I a and I will take a slab of Ricks Ribs! Rick and Steven tap is on me.

Work Front Yes I had to work today and it was a waste of time. Only 2 customers and only 1 bought for $375.00 and they had to come in 15 minutes before closing! Got out a tad late but not that bad.
Ed Good to see you posting again and thanks for the photos! Have you PM me yet on the cost of the passangers yet? I checked last night I think and did not see a new PM.
Train Front Found the problem with the PRR M1a Heavy Weight Coaches coming un-coulped. Seems the Centfaun 10-1-2 sleeper coaches couplers is saging. The bracket the holds the coupler box is sort of Z shaped and held to the coach with a screw. If I tighten it up, will not swing well. Maybe a metal washer will do the trick?
Later, Ken

Good evening diners.
Zoe - A Coke float for me please, to go along with the Apple-wood smoked ribs I brought to share.
Everyone dig in!
I will check back later.

Good Afternoon,
It has been a while since I was last in and nice to see so many diners in the place today.
We have been fairly busy here but not in a good way. Our little dog, Robbie, was in for a liver biopsy yesterday. We won't know the results for a few days but cancer is likely. Depending on the type it could be treatable with surgery. I'm sure glad I bought pet health insurance as the bill is up to $2500 so far what with ultrasound and the biopsy. We are very worried as he is only 9 which isn't old for a Westie.
Our Anniversary was actually yesterday, year 36, but given Robbie's surgery we celebrated on Saturday. We had a wonderful meal at a place called 529 Wellington. I had beef wellington and it was truly amazing.
Not much happening on the RR front. I did run my Pacific with a couple of heavyweights for my re-creation of a local beach train. When I was a young lad CN ran a daily train out to a resort town called Victoria Beach that is on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. It isn't a beach resort like most as there isn't a hotel, motel or restaurant. It is stricly cottages and in July and August motorized traffic is prohibited. Needless to say there are lots of bikes. Anyway back in 1957/8 the daily train arrived at noon and was the highlight for the day. It was turned on a wye for the trip back to Winnipeg later in the day. Sadly nothing remains now, not even the station. The train was the only way into the beach for many years until the mid-50s when a gravel road was built.
Well time for dinner

I have never won a game of Scrabble. I also have never lost a game of Twixt. I win Carcassonne and Catan about 80% of the time. I am the worst Chess player on Earth, but it is hard to find someone that can give me even a pause in Checkers.
It has rained here all day. I seriously doubt there will be much celebration outside tonight. The weathermen were right, but predicting the weather in a Florida Summertime is really easy. It is going to rain, and it will be hot and humid. Low of 70 something and high of 90 something... six months straight!
