Tinplate ToddlerStrange that it is called World Series with it being a completely domestic affair.
Not totally domestic. You forgot the Toronto Blue Jays.

Evenin" folks!
Chloe, I could use a refile for my decaf, please.
moelarrycurly4Ray: Enjoy Winton. I got to see Ellis at a small club in New Orleans in June, fantastic!
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestera with Wynton Marcalis was fantantic! My lady friend seemed to enjoy it very much too. We had a wonderful soup and salad supper before we left for Eastman Theater and I had a chance to have a nice conversation with her when we got back to her home. So far, we appear to like each other and get along very well.... I have some good hopes for us. Time will tell.
Only "Trick or Treaters" here tonight were my Granddaughters who were actually on their way to a community halloween thingie over where they live. Nobody in my immediate neighborhood had porch lights on even. Here the city says that only houses with porch lights on should be visited. I stopped buying candy a few years ago when it got so there was only 3 or 4 families that rang my doorbell. A bit different from the couple hundred I used to get back when I was teaching.... The Middle Schoolers knew where I lived! LOL I didn't mind and for a couple years put together some sound clips (I pulled off the net recordings of what scientists believe dinasaurs like T-Rex actually sounded like) that scared the living crap out of them.... (grin) The city council was going to issue me a special permit to house a T-rex in my back shed....
Hope you all have had a great All Hallows Eve and also have a blessed All Saints Day tomorrow!

Flo, gine the gang and I and Dirk his Bullafo Treat
Halloween is not what it use to be for the rather it's better or worse. My wife does not want the kids coming by so we stopped handing out treats 23 years ago. I think next year I may change that. I love Halloween when I was a kid.
Looks like one of my purchases last night went through. So in a few days I will be out of the stone age into 2000's. I will be a hopefully happy owner of a Dell Opitplex 710 DT i5 3470 3.20 Ghz 8 GB of Ram and 250 GB hard drive with Windows 10 with a 1 year warranty. Now if I can remember how to down load programs and reinstall Decoder Pro. Finding the correct USB port stumped me last time.
Best Part of Halloween for me this year? We closed at 5:00 PM today. Nices to get home and beable to see the house!
Later Ken and Dirk say's Woof
I hate Rust
Heck with that. Halloween is fun and I like it. After all the cute little trick-or-treaters come to the door, let's just all be a little bit better ghouls that feed them.
I like Halloween.

Good Evening All,
Both CFO and I got home late so we didn't see much for trick or treaters. Fewer every year anyway and I'll be fine when the tradition finally ends. Left over treats to the shop tomorrow for the Smedleys to finish off or I'll be back up to 200 by weeks end.
Ken - still smokeless? Great will power. Rattie and Bristol say woof to Dirk.
Been lurking but not posting lately. Hit a rut with the layout, mostly motivation. I need to finish some of the structures I started and didn't close out. Large bridge will be first so it looks complete. Need to clean a decades dirt (the track is at least clean) and redrill all the railing holes as half of them are painted shut. The other major thing will be getting the Walthers 90' turntable to power the rails which still don't work after checking and rechecking off the layout.
Ken - I only worry about a couple of things with the 'puter. Will it get me into the diner and will it do E-mail without which I won't have a business for long. I remain functionally illiterate with the rest.
Back to lurking. Ciao, J.R.
Ray I saw Winton Marsalis in the late 70's in Chapel Hill, with Dizzie Gillespie and his balloon cheeks. Winton was the kid, and he could only have been 18 or 19, but he held his own.
I loved Halloween as a kid, got way too much candy, but it has since struck me as odd that it is kids begging for food. A front rolling in ended things early and we did not have the older teenagers in their hoodies costumes.
My SIL left Baltimore on a cruise ship headed for the Bahamas at 6 pm. She is going to meet the front in an hour or two. Her last cruise was in a hurricane. She was so sick, they thought she might had norvovirus and confined her to the cabin.
I've been to the Bahamas, scuba diving. Locals living in tin shacks with goats and chickens roaming the streets while the tourists are in posh hotels. I doubt I will go back in this lifetime.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
hon30critter Make sure you tell his dad how good a job he did of raising his son! Dave
It's so ironic you said that because I already did that an hour ago
I think the same as you do Dave..... I think you think good

Aw shucks!
Thank you for the compliment.
Okay whatever just kidding Dave.
Judy brought home all this exotic cheese that was left in a room factory wrapped
Have you ever had really great cheese This stuff was wonderful but you have to wait for a while when you switch from one cheese to the other cheese or it kind of freaks you out
Okay I'm still working on it..... I don't want to get too cheesy on you guys so I'll talk to you later
