BigDaddyI didn't think I overate yesterday, but I had some fierce heartburn last night.
Same here. I kept my portion sizes small, but about two hours after dinner I felt like I had eaten way too much and the heartburn kicked in.
I just ordered $150.00 worth of products from Kadee on their Black Friday promotion. I was not going to order anything this year, but they had a great price on #500 truck assemblies.

Prayers and condolances to all who have lost friends, relatives and pets. Pets are family too.
I didn't think I overate yesterday, but I had some fierce heartburn last night. The gravy was extremely salty. Someone else made the gravy. My wife listed to Paula Dean instead of me and the crust on the pumpkin cheese cake cemented to the bottom of the pan.

hon30critterWe could be totally irreverent and go to Cincinnatti,
All fair warning...
I used to hang out at the underground Punk Rock houses on the Cincinnatti waterfront back in the 1980s.
These were the ones where you need to know someone, and get the codeword, to get inside of. Real hardcore stuff.
If we go to Cincinnatti, it will bring back all these good memories of my late teens, and there is no telling what I will be putting into the juke box.
The diner might never be the same.
Everybody have a cup of coffee on me... Chloe, please refill everyone's cup.
25 years old, but still a classic, Coffee Mug by The Descendents:
Bacon, eggs, & coffee, please. Everyday.
Today I hope to finish the model Dairy Queen for the layout. My wife gave it to me. I don't mind the model, but it takes some of the fun out of it since I like to scratchbuild things.
This month went quickly for me. Thanks, Bear, for all the New Zealand train pictures and videos.

Italian roast coffee in a Union Pacific mug, please.
I am regularily visited in dreams by both lost loved ones and pets. Often wake up before getting to converse with the relatives, but they are definitely present.
Hope to get down to the train room later today, but I get so dang tired it doesn't happen much now. Trying!
Have a great day everyone. Cheers!

hon30critter Hi Gang!! Wow, it's only three days to the end of the month! We need to decide where we are going to spend the Christmas Holidays. It has to be some place with a reputation for growing good turkeys! Okay, ummm, I guess that doesn't narrow the field very much. Everybody has good turkeys. We could be totally irreverent and go to Cincinnatti, Ohio where Les Nessman of 'WKRP in Cincinnatti' fame arranged to drop frozen turkeys from a helicopter over a mall parking lot as a promo for the radio station. Okay, forget that one too - the occassion was Thanksgiving, not Christmas. Come on guys, help me out here! Where do you want to go for Christmas?!? Cheers!! Dave

They were live turkeys, don't you remeber Mr Carlson stating " With God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." at the very end of the show.
Condolences for all who have lsot.
Good afternoon all. The household jobs are done. Now to make some salad up for lunch.
With a little luck some runniing of trains may take place.
It is Friday. Friday is 'Burger Friday'. On the menu tonite is Vegetable Burger with wedges and a side dish.
Thoughts & Peace to All who require.

Sorry to hear the sad news herrinchoker. My thoughts and condolences to the families affected.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

Well,... I never realized the Christmas time show
Judy is snoring like a lumberjack on the couch as I'm watching the Griswold family Christmas she put in
Actually is utterly delightful
I'm laughing like a Mad Max from Thunderdome

SeeYou190He saved all the Kadee couplers he got without springs and is now selling them because he has never been able to successfully install a knuckle spring.
I'll bet he's tired of moving to a new house every time a light bulb burns out
Ya just never know
Sad to hear about the tragedy, Herrinchoker. Seems like every tragedy has so many elements that add up like that. The fuel, the haul, the rogue wave.
So close to Christmas, too.
Regards, Ed
A Turkey is a funny bird His head goes wobble wobble.
All he ever has to say is gobble gobble gobble
I just ran across one of the best ebay auctions I have seen in a long time.
A guy is selling 15 pairs of Kadee HO scale couplers. They are all missing the knuckle springs. He saved all the Kadee couplers he got without springs and is now selling them because he has never been able to successfully install a knuckle spring.
herrinchokerLost another boat in the gale the other night, 82 foot dragger, hit by a queer sea and sunk, all hands gone. They had been having trouble with the diesel return lines not working properly, returning the fuel to one tank only, throwing the stability of the boat off, and reportedly had hailed a large catch of pollock, the added weight would throw the stability off. One of my young friends came by to wish me a bird day, and said that he had seen them off in Portland at the start of their trip, sad times--four more names on the memorial.
Herrinchoker,
That is really sad news! I am in awe of people like you who make their living from the sea. You are so strong and brave! I wouldn't last 10 minutes on a rough ocean.
My condolences to their families.
Jeremy,
Condolences on the loss of your friend---it does leave a deep hole.
Bear,
Thank you for the receipe, I will be trying this---will substitute cranberry cooked with maple syrup and honey with orange zest for the passion fruit pulp.

The creosote soaked ties aren't there to walk on anymore. The growth of the trees on the sides took over not to allow the bright sunshiny day of our childhood to still shine in
But the step down from The Trestle to the lower track is still there
Even though it was deleted by the railroad because they didn't need it anymore
Christmas music season is here.
Let it rock... Dee Snyder style!
As I said in a previous post, the great thing about Christmas Music is it really lets you compare one band to another. This version of White Christmas really proves that Dee Snyder can sing, and that Twisted Sister is a very capable band.
Rock on...
herrinchoker...what is the orange ring that looks like ripe Salmon Eggs, or perhaps Frog Eggs, and what is the cake made out of??
gmpullmanThis has to be one of the most compact compounds anywhere around!
Now that is a sharp looking small steam locomotive. She sure is a beautiful thing.
This isn't good that someone lost another pet.
I am sorry for your loss Jeremy. That's my son's name, Jeremy.
It's my experience, the loss of a pet is just like losing a family member and sometimes even harder
It took me three years to get over the loss of my Nellie and I still ain't over her yet.
I have dreams at night that she is still there and wake up looking for her half asleep.
I took Nellie everywhere I went from when she was a little puppy. Work, the grocery store, wherever.
She still comes to me in the night in my dreams and I feel like I had a conversation with her the next morning.
A loss of a pet has a really tough road to follow.
I am sorry for your loss of your pet Jeremy. Those ones are really hard
Jeremy ... Condolences to
you for loss of your cat.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your cat, Jeremy. We had to do the same thing about a month ago. It is heartbreaking but it is equally sad to see a pet suffer, too. Seventeen years is a pretty good run. Our oldest cat, Whoopee, is fourteen. I remember and dearly miss all the pets we've had over the years. Still, our lives have been more than enriched by their companionship.
Your donation will be a great act of kindness in memory of your cat.
I hope everyone is doing well tonight. Sure feels like a Sunday to me — even being retired
This has to be one of the most compact compounds anywhere around!

JeremyBtoday I had to have my cat put to sleep.
Hi Jeremy,
Sorry for your loss. Pets have a really annoying habit of getting inside our hearts, but what else are they there for but to add enjoyment to our lives? Obviously your cat lived a happy life, and I'm sure she would want you to continue to do the same.
Hi guys
i hope all my friends to the south are having a good thanksgiving
today I had to have my cat put to sleep. We have had her for 17 years and we gave her a spoiled life and a awesome life. house Feels empty without her. ive never lost a pet before so am completely heartbroken
we got her from the pound so tomorrow we are taking the leftover food she had ( almost 65.00 a case and we have two ) they will be thankful for the donation. I think my kitty would have like that idea

We really enjoyed listening to Alice's Restaurant as we didn't last year.
Well, ...Everything was going great until my brother called.
I love my brother and talked to him for about 2 hours. This Corona crap is really unsettling and I wish I could have had him over for Thanksgiving dinner.
After I talked to him for two hours Judy got on the phone with him and I told her the turkey's done the turkey is done.
I did the only sensible thing and shut off the stove but after about two hours of her talking to my brother, even though the turkey was cooked upside down it came out of the oven dry
Like I said before it's all about the togetherness. We did the best we could do this year and I don't regret anything.
The turkey was dry but the gravy kind of made up for things. It was really great talking to my brother even though he could'nt be with us.
Although he kind of was and I will take dry turkey and some time well spent with my brother over dry turkey any day.
We did not nail it this year with the main course But then again we're used to a big family get-together with an 18 - 20 lb bird. A five and a half pound bird. I probably could have took an Ohio Blue-Tip wooden farmers match and held it under the bird for about 15 minutes and it probably would have been done
