Johnny
I love Johnny
I would like to think this place was operating while he was still alive because I have always loved Johnny
Johnny gave consideration for people born into problems.
Johnny understood why bad people ended up the way they did.
Johnny Was A really Good Man.
Yep..... they do better than that here Steven..... they chop roofs off of buses and drive you into this place. Because parkings a B Wifey has pictures of that on her phone but she's not stirring right now, I will transfer those images to the front tomorrow or the next day here.
TF is that a Dodge cargo van turned pickup truck/convertible in the background of the picture of your wife?

This of course is where Track Fiddler wanted to eat but it was just too busy and crazy so I moved us down the strip
Now this is more like it. it's kind of old school, the kids forgot about it. It's Melo, easy going, we had a good lunch here
The View out to the North after lunch. I'm sure you and the wife had a great time in Nashville Garry, Judy and I sure did.

Evening folks,
Ulrich, I'm going to send you a PM I have an idea for your situation, I'm not an expert on the subject but it's worth a try.
Nothing else to report, they ended up tearing out the track I laid, they decided to level the roadbed properly, using plaster to fill the dip.
Well that's all folks!
Good evening Diners,
Brunhilda, I'll have a calorie laden RBF, please. And, set the gang up with their favorite beverage.
This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending one of the "Worlds Greatest Hobby Tour" shows in Schaumburg, IL. I had a good time. Didn't spend much money. Just got a little board book for my granddaughter, but there was plenty there to spend money on! MR had a booth as well as some of the more prominent mfrs. Got to meet Hal, MR's Editor, a lady named Linda, and our slightly fabulous moderator Steve O. Nice people all. Ok, I borrowed the "slightly fabulous" line from an old Limelighters LP.
there were also several modular clubs running full layouts and in about every scale, too. There were 3 or 4 HO clubs, about the same number of N and O clubs plus large scale, and one S scale club. There was even a group of Boy Scouts who had a modular layout, and there was some very good modeling going on there, far beyond what I could do when I was that agE, or even now for that matter. It would be tempting to consider getting involved in a club. One I checked out had memberships available, but it was really more than I can afford. I have also toyed with the idea of switching to S guage/scale whatever For some time. Probably the only reason I don't is the sentiment for my HO stuff that I've been collecting since 1959, and S equipment does cost more. Dunno! Thoughts and opinions are welcomed here.
Hello to everyone, and I hope everyone is OK, safe, and warm.

Flo, give the gang and I a please.
Ulrich Soory to hear about the sad state of your nation. I am glad someone stood up to the thugs! If one person will do the right thing there still hope!
Henry Hope things work out for your SIL.
Still sick and closed the store at 6:00 PM. Beside feeling bad this company is driving me nuts! The out right stupid stuff they want me to sell and then thorw in the Stupid Queen Of The Dingbat Demands like hanging posters of stuff we no longer carry on the walls did me in. I am so close to being done with this company. But on the other hand it is a easy job and I am off my feet?
Later, Ken

Ulrich my prayers for your friend.
With no politics whatsoever, there is no shortage of violence in the US. A teenager, a 20 yo and and third person carjacked someone at 4 am. The police found them, watched them throw a handgun out of the car and caught up to them as they bailed out, hitting the car and one of the bad guys.
Now there has to be an investigation regarding why one died. The investigation ought to be why parents let their teenager run around in a stolen car at 4 am and why one got away.
I led a sheltered life. I don't know anyone who thought it was fun to steal a car, much less car jack one.
My SIL does not have recurrent breast cancer, but will need an excision for atypia. She is leaning toward a mastectomy because of her prior history and multiple other biopsies. She says "I am done with these" From a body image standpoint, that is quite a statement. My cousin and a good friend had bilateral mastectomies without any reconstruction, when they were a good 20 years younger than my SIL. What a hard decision that must have been.
I finally noticed that I DVR'd a bunch of Red Bull Crushed Ice skating races and the banner showed Belfast 2015. Apparently "the sport" is still alive, but they are showing 4 year old reruns. hmmph
I stumbled on the MR Reader Choice Awards for 2019. I don't know if you are allowed to skip questions. Some of these surveys insist that you answer question 29. In this case, there are pages to be opened as one works their way through 58 questions. 58? In truth, I am not familiar with all the models they asked about, so it's probably just as well that I gave up on page 3.

Ulrich..... I am so displeased to hear about your friend Frank.
Things change on a dime. Yesterday we were all laughing and having fun......now this.
I do believe in the Power of Prayer. Prayers in numbers even more so. You have all your friends here pulling together for you and your friend Frank.
I believe the Man upstairs will somehow make things right.
I do believe that
I'm thinking about you Kid. Try to hang in there.
I just got an update on Frank´s current situation. He is still in a coma, which is fortunate for him. The good news is his skull is not fractured, but he will have to live with a number of impediments. The police states that he escaped death by a thin margin, due to a construction guy stepping in when the terrorists started to kick his head while he was already laying unconscious on the ground. Most likely he will not be able to resume his mandate as a member of our parliament in Berlin.
This is not the first terrorist attack, but by far the worst in decades. A few days ago, a bomb exploded, demolishing an office. Add to that numerous acts of vandalism.
Petra and I are terrified.
Happy times!
Ulrich (aka The Tin Man)

howdy all.
day 2 of unemployment is driving nuts. Well, tomorrow I'm going to a sort of temp agency, called "career links". Theyll do it all, hekp you sign up for unemployment, help write a resume,etc. I'm going tomorrow to take the career aptitude test they offer....tired of bouncing around with wrong jobs. So wish me luck I'm able to find something to my strengths.
Well, the T trak group I'm involved with had a great first outing(minus my module, ehich I'll explain below). as co chair, I should have gone, but I was helping with the last weekend for our club open house . We probably got 3-500 people in our doors this year. we also have our annual train sale and show at the end of the month. Plus we got three new members this year.
Now dpr the Module. For. First time wiring and doing anything track laying, it wasnt terribl, but I got the wrong size rail. thry wanted code 80" but the track turned out to be 55.... ordered from micromark. Oh welll, I got more of the correct size coming and a few more track connectors in the mail. Otherwise, everyone loved it as a display.
Ulrich, my condolences fpr your friends situation. I hope he pulls through, and you guys stay safe.

Tinplate Toddler Good Morning! We under a storm warning, but while it´s still quite calm, St. Peter is dumping bucket loads of water down on us. Yesterday evening, a friend of mine from my political days has been attacked by a troop of Antifa terrorists. The attack left him severely injured and there is only little hope he will survive the head injuries the attackers inflicted. Frank M. is a 66 year old father of six children, a very quiet, well educated man. Please include him in your prayers! I was hoping to be able to arrange for an "orderly retreat", but I am afraid that Petra and I wll have to get out of here real quick.

Ulrich, that is truly terrible news. My heart goes out to you and your friend and his family.
Forum rules prevent me from expressing my true feelings.
Stay strong Ulrich! Your friend would want you to do that I'm sure.
I sent you a PM.

Precisely! You can see where the light is concentrated around the anvil and the hammer.
Feel better Ken.
The wife and I got a strand of some nasty crap that's been going around last month.
I hope you and the wife feel better soon.

Well interesting thing happened just now, I checked one of my social media accounts and saw that I had two messaging requests, from two girls, I checked their accounts to have an idea of who they are and needless to say I quickly declined the requests due to the descriptions of what they're looking for in their bios. One can only imagine what sort of manure they were trying to send me.
Some strange people out there.
Anyways, Ray I actually tried setting up a dating account this evening on one if the more reputable dating apps. Trouble is its 18+ so I've gotta wait a few weeks before using it.
Social media is a blessing and a curse, so I was scrolling through my "suggested profiles to follow" and came across the girl I've been trying to talk to at church, an opportunity hasn't shown itself so I haven't approached her. Well lucky I didn't because she has a boyfriend, which I discovered by stumbling upon her account, so in this case it's a blessing that I didn't make a fool of myself.
Flo, the gang and I will have a please and I will thake a few Vitamin tablets C's as well.
Looks like the wife and maybe I have something nasty. Wife went to her PA and she was just a tad from having Pneumonia and has been placed on Antibotics. I felt some what better today at work while I was poping Hall's Vitamin C's tablets.
I am beat so later.

Yep.. the marathon John bar. With quik claude and the Bear that comes in through the cold drafty door.

Evenin' Folks!
Uhhhhh? How about some more photos of rain wear?????
On second thought, better not..... I have been spending way too much time interacting with some lovely ladies on line at that Silver old folks dating site. Yep took the plunge (one of my New Years resolutions to see what's out there....) and filled out all the forms and questions and stuff.... I seem to have been found by a good number of very nice and quite pleasing on the eyes older ladies (my age) that are also trying to find that perfect person. The first one that sent me a Smile was very attractive and had all the qualities I might like. She has been a widow for 30 years and decided she wants to find someone to grow old with. She sent me a message asking if I was from Geneva, Ohio (she lives near Cleveland). Of course I had to let her know I live in Geneva, NY and that it might be too far for us to meet in person..... She wrote back that she was "Very Dissapointed...." So was I.
I spent last night talking on the phone to lady who lives about 35 miles South East of me, who has the most beautiful Blue eyes I have ever seen. It seems that she once lived just a few miles from where I first taught and we have several common friends.... She has a sense of humor and several college degrees, intelegent, and we have several likes in common..... Just exchanged emails with her before stopping in here.
Of course I already have one lady upset with me because I didn't return her smile.... She lives about 200 miles to the South of me and Claims to be "Full Figured...." From what I can see of her photo, I would say that is pretty much accurate and maybe a bit more. I did send her a reply when she sent me a bunch of sad faces and let her know she was, "A bit out of my range..." Yep that about covered it.
Anyway, I have been having fun and hope that one of the many ladies that have visited my Bio may turn out to be "The One". The scales this morning told me I have lost a couple more pounds so I now tip the scales at 195 lbs. Last time I weighed that was the beginning of my sophmore year at college.
Got to find some time to get some railroading in the schedule... Have a good one out there!
