Ken how long is a mattress supposed to last? My wife's, who has a weight problem, side of the mattress has a depression. She refuses to sleep on my side, which means I move onto her side if she gets up to go to the bathroom. It's not really comfortable but I do it to show her I love her.
Adding a sub buss to the turntable and roundhouse, I discovered a lone yellow wire hanging down in my face. I don't use yellow wires. Whiskey tango I have no idea why it exists. I did not take the time to trace it. The buss is white and black, the feeders are white, red and green for frogs.
I have a story about a patient who didn't pee. It did not end well for him as he had something called hepato-renal syndrome. As a med student, I came on Sunday morning and the intern said he didn't think Mr. K peed yesterday, but Mr. K claimed he did.
I checked on Mr. K all day and by 8 pm there was nothing. 12 hours is a long time, so I had to check if there was any in his bladder. I forgot to add this was at the VA hospital. Mr. K had suffered an injury. It was not a "service connected injury"
The agent of evil was a hog, but that is all Mr. K would share with me.
I was adding a sub bus for my TT and roundhouse. Sticking in my face was a yellow wire. I use white and black for the bus. White and red for the feeders, green for the frog and yellow???
I worked with and orthopedic surgeon who was a flight surgeon, who trained on a Stearman. There was an ex-naval aviator who owned a local bar in Annapolis, who also owned a Stearman.

JaBear, thanks for the link to the WW1 birds, I am currently building a 1/14 scale SE 5 and the photos and descriptions were helpful.
Your right about pilots then, my dad's buddy was a Canadian and flew in combat in WW1, he shot himself down 3 times when his prop got out of sinc with his machine gun, his crew chief made him a model of his A.C. from what was left of the prop.
I was lucky, sort of, when I went into the U.S.A.F. I ended up being a recip. air craft mech. and got to work on all the old birds. The first one was 4 years older than me, a C47.
GOAL!!!

I have a comfrimed pee from Sparkie The Rocket Dog! I was really worried about him.

Afternoon Diners
Flo, give the gang and I a Rick a RBF and leave a stein outside for Ulrich.
God I have had better days!
1 Roof started to leak again in Sues Junk Room. Part of the Popcorn ceiling costing fell off but for now the sheet rock is still in places. Going to have that part of the roof tarpped.
2 Worried about Sparkie the Rocket Dog. He can be really sneaky when he pee's so it maybe nothing. But as far as the wife and I know he has not pee for 24 hours more or less. He seems happy and wants food. Tummy did not feel extended or tender. If we don't know that he has pee by Sunday off to the ER Vet we go.
Ed changed the decoder in the Proto 2000 QSI E-7. Still just sit's there and makes sound. The black thing I saw on the board was the jumper and it did a reset when pulled on DC. I am thinking it is a wiring problem and will be opening up the PK2 Armor Personal Carrier. I have been in APC that where not as armored as this E-7!
Well, it has stopped raining, trains are running fine. Now I can see Sparkie Pee life will be good!
Later, Ken

Good afternoon all.
Chloe - A RBF please. Thanks.
Garry - Belated condolences from me as well. Smoking does indeed cause many issues. My Uncle who died a few years back was also a very heavy smoker.
Ed - What did you do to that poor kitty! He looks very upset with you....
Stephen NWP - I like the blue suit! Good choice.
Ken - I know how boring slow sales days can be... Kinda glad my primary duties now are delivery driver. I stay much more busy now.
W*^k - Not sure if my boss was happy, irritated, proud, or all of the above yesterday with me... There was a major traffic collision right in front of the store in the afternoon, and I was quickly out the door and running to the scene. (While not an EMT, I have some emergency first aid training. I have been certified in CPR, as well as training on how to handle broken bones, bleeding, etc...) Driver of car 1 was shook up, but uninjured, driver of car 2 had a head injury, along with a (my opinion totaled) very damaged car after not only clipping car 1, but also slamming into a electric pole, and a roadside ditch. There is a car dealership directly across from where I w*^k and they were also quickly on scene, and on the phone with emergency dispatch. When they said where the accident was, I have a feeling the dispatcher panicked a bit, as we had no less than 4 fire departments on scene within 10 minutes. (The location I w*^k at also sells diesel and regular fuel, as well as propane and kerosene... Explains the large response over a 2 car crash.)
Once FD was on scene, I directed them to the injured drivers car, and got out of the way, and back to my w*^k duties. I was then surprised by the continued response from additional FD's, and my boss was very unhappy with it, as they ended up blocking off our entire parking lot with fire trucks and ambo's....
They transported injured driver, and checked occupants of the other car due to the nature of the crash.
2 hours later, the only way you knew something occurred was the small debris, and the damage to the pole, along with the marks on the pavement and the roadside ditch.
Trains - Had a good time in Kirkland at the show, went with a couple friends and made a day out of it. Found a couple of needed items, plus a few I didn't need....
Weather - Starting on the warming trend. Now if the mud will go away...
Hope all are well, and all enjoy the day!

Well, of course they do. They also have two right feet.

Oh yes they do! Lions can "dance" their way through the forest, jungles, and subways, like NO human can.

First , thanks everybody for the condolences, prayers, and kind thoughts.
We've been busy past two days taking care of things. Shelley's brother lived by himself. He talked with Shelley recently knowing his days were nearly over. He wanted to be buried next to one of Shelley's sisters who died a few years ago at a cemetary near here.
Shelley's brother and the sister who died were heavy smokers. Both died too young from COPD. .... So, Do Not Smoke ....
Ed.... My friend had an owl box. Squirrels took over. The box was filled with acorns. It got so heavy, it fell off the tree.
Have a good Saturday, everybody.

I enjoyed the plane video Bear. Thanks. A lot of Heritage at that Gathering. I checked out the link as well on the various planes. The one that was not wrapped in canvas that showed the construction was interesting. Fragile looking to say the least. I wonder what kind of wood was used to build these planes that have lasted the test of time.
Nice suit Steven. I'm glad you had fun at the prom.

Hey everybody!
Settling down after getting home from prom.
Had a great time, danced the best I could, talked to some girls, it was all great.
That's a Jos. A. Bank suit, I think the floral tie was the piece de resistance of the ensemble. My momma didn't want me to buy the tie but I ended up getting lots of compliments about it so I guess it was a good move!
Well I beat so night all!

Garry,
Condolences to you and your family----
Ed,
Your Owl box, if placed near a flowage, or pond, would probably attract wood ducks, it appears to be the same in conformation.

Todays highlight was talking with Ed on the phone.
Working on my day off was a waste Company would have been better off leaving the store closed. Had a whole two customers and sold a whole $237.00 in sales!
Trains are running just fine so it was a good day.

That is great Ed! Hopefully you are not too late to get a pair.

That is the fowlest looking expression that I have ever seen on a cat! Are you sure you didn't step on it's tail?!?

Good morning from the sunny West Coast. We have had a small fraction of precipitation of what we usually get in the last two months. You can see the difference in the vegetation already, nothing is doing as well as normal. Very foreboding.
The kid just landed in Calgary for his connecting flight to Edmonton for his hockey tournament and he feels like crap. I looked up to see where there were showers at the airport and sent the link. I have racked up more brownie points as he has a two-hour layover and a shower made him feel way better. Beautiful showers in a Spa he said for only $10.00. I hope he feels better by game time.
gmpullmana swarm of honey bees moved into a vacant hive we had on a nearby hillside! That was great news.

My wife has been taking a what seems to be a rather long intense beekeeper course. With the worlds Bees dying off at alarming rates we won't be far behind. She is going to do her part to help.
All the best to all.

I hope we are not too late in the season. My nephew gave it to me as he is moving from a rented house in a wooded area to an apartment.

The same day I put the nest box up a swarm of honey bees moved into a vacant hive we had on a nearby hillside! That was great news. This has happened to us three times recently.
Then, if all that wasn't enough, our stray cat, Spike, who has ALWAYS visited in the cover of darkness over the last eight years or so, came out for a visit in broad daylight.
We offered him some canned Friskies instead of the usual tuna. This was his reaction —

maxmanIf they were so smart, why is it that after traveling a million light years they have to resort to that colonoscopy thing to get whatever information they're looking for? Do they think we are all politicians?

howmus"Perhaps we've never been visited by aliens because they have looked upon Earth and decided there is no sign of intelligent life"
I have read on the internet (so it must be true) that many people have encountered aliens and lived to tell about it. But based on their reports, I would not credit aliens with much intelligence.
