BATMANHow is this for incentive Kevin? All the guys in the diner will each send you $10.00 (USD of course) if you post a video showing fifty pushups and fifty situps (without stopping) No tricks! You have to be honest and not be able to do them already.
How can I post a video if I am not able to do them?
Confused...
-Kevin
Living the dream.
That's the incentive, you post the video when you can do them. We'll wait.

There's an incentive if ever.

Oh, I already can do them.
I used to do 4 sets of 50 push ups per day, but changed it to 5 sets of 40 per day when the last ten started to really hurt. I can still do 50, but not worth the strain.
I just want one of your Royal Hudsons.

Yea! Good man! Now what to do with the $10.00 I saved.

Use it to pay part of the postage to send me a Royal Hudson?

Send him a Royal Hudson!

NO WAY! I would send him Meryl and the kids first.

That is too funny.
A new building, where is it?
Hey, wait a minute.
How do I get a piece of the action? I can do quite a few sit-ups and push ups. (Right now I can do one sit-up in the morning, one after my nap, and one when dinner is ready. I can do one push up if I fall on the ice.) How much do I get for that?
The nearest Harbor Freight to me is about 50 miles, so I don't get there too often. A lot of my tools came to me when my father died. I had to clean his garage and basement. I took what I wanted, and then I told his neighbors to come over and help themselves.
Speaking of tools, I have my father's Vise Grip. That tool was invented and produced at a factory about 60 miles from me by the Petersens. He was an immigrant from Denmark. That plant is now closed and production comes from overseas. The quality is not the same. My father's Vise Grip still works like it did brand new 50 years ago.
Edit: Top of the Page!! It's happy hour in my time zone, so everyone can join me with a beer of your choice.

BATMAN A new building, where is it?
Definitely in Canada somewhere because of the small print on all the signage gives it away.
My guess would be Calgary in Alberta. I have certainly been known to be wrong but at the very least they should put some lights on that Christmas tree on top
Wherever that building is the Stoney Creek Bridge in British Columbia that the Chinese helped CP build sure is cool
Fuzzy picture but still gives the gist of how beautiful it is and how tall the Pines wish to grow

York1Hey, wait a minute. How do I get a piece of the action?
Well, apparently Brent is paying people for videos of them doing push-ups.
Not sure what he gets out of it, but he has all kinds of stipulations that make it dificult.
Oh... if you call it a "bet", he could be more acceptable to your terms.
Ray ..... Thanks for the reply. I hope your grand daughter gets over her cough soon. It sounds like what I had, but my Covid tests were negative. .... Our grand daughter still has no symptoms, and we think she will be okay. .... I will not hestitate to have the vaccine when it is available.
Everybody .... Have a good evening.

CBS Sunday Morning or maybe 60 Minutes did a show on the vise grip factory years ago. Vise grips were used like push pins, clamping notes and stuff around the factory.
Dave good luck with your test
Ken sorry to hear about your daughter. I have one friend who got a winged scapula from MS. That means you scapula sticks out. That has been her only symptoms. I have had two other friends with it and they have had more progression than that.
The Chief of Neurology at Maryland, was certain that a cure was imminent in 1973. He was wrong. However they are actively researching new treatments. Praying for her.

Got the new part but did you ever try to squeeze one of those hard rubber grommets in with your thumb even after you warmed and soaped it up?
I haven't been fitting in anywhere today, ...Not even here! Maybe I messed up and I'm carrying some bad karma with me. I better hit the power button!!!

Bear,
At first I thought that group was an out take in the bar scene from StarWars.
Ken,
Sent you a PM
SeeYou190Well, apparently Brent is paying people for videos of them doing push-ups.
Got that right, have you seen some of our newest members?????? HUBBA!
If I recall you asked for something if you did 50 pushups. I am a trust but verify kind of guy. Do you really think I want to watch some sweaty guy doing pushups? Now bring on those new members.
Talking about the Hudsons I went and ran one along with my two RDCs, FPs and BS 4-4-0, I really like that little engine. I had not run a train for a long time with all the disruptions in the house and the trainroom being full of kitchen junk. It was a flawless session. I need staging though, parking is becoming a problem.
TF, the new building is not Calgary, but good guess. I'll wait a while longer for Ed to chime in, Ed knows everything.
The cabinet installer is back tomorrow, I'll be so glad when all this is behind us, not having a kitchen is just a pain.
Daughter is writing two exams tonight (biggies) I hope the fact she is having surgery tomorrow doesn't throw her off. I doubt it will as she is one cool cucumber, nothing fazes that kid.
I think a monster bowel of popcorn is in order dripping with butter, now if I can find the hot air popper.
All the best to all.
I just got a bottom-screen-pop-up ad for a diner in Toronto! Supposedly the best coffee in Canada.
OK... I really need to know how these are being targetted to me.
Of course they are!
Did you buy some coffee online Kevin while shuffling around with the Canadians here?
Artificial intelligence Internet robots
Track fiddlerDid you buy some coffee online Kevin
Nope, I only buy coffee at Publix. I do watch a lot of YouTube videos by Canadians, but I have never expressed interest in a cup of Joe in Toronto.
Now I have a bottom-pop-up ad for Duffy's Sports Bar. I don't like sports, and I never go to bars. Never been to a Duffy's, nor would I ever plan to.
Edit: Now it is for Ugg boots for women.
How completely random.
Howdy, Everybody .
Brent ..... That is a great photo of old cars with the CP Hudson behind them.
Kevin .... Must be the advertisers think if you hang out with Canadians in the MR Forum, you must want coffee in Toronto.
Heartland Division CB&QMust be the advertisers think if you hang out with Canadians in the MR Forum, you must want coffee in Toronto.
That must be it.
Maybe I am missing out on something huge. Is the coffee in Toronto really that good?
That's what I was saying!
These artificial intelligent robots that scan the internet will put you together no matter what you do and it's going to get worse!
You better learn to deal with it or just throw your mouse away
Oh and yes if you make it up to Canada the coffee tastes way better up there because it's made with Canadian water
I had it in Sioux Narrows Ontario a few times
York1(except for weird music videos from Bear!).
I guess you had to be there at the time!!

Hi Bear.
I seen you strolled in and just wanted to say hello
I did appreciate the Christmas music
Thank You and Happy Holidays to You and Yours
Track Fiddler
I noticed Schwarzenhammer got bumped to the next page and I did not appreciate that one bit.
I said it before and I'll say it again!
We could use a good Schwarzenhammer around here
I only knew one Schwarzenhammer and I liked him. I think the second one would be much more better
Track fiddlerI did appreciate the Christmas music
Excellence Bear!
You outdid yourself finding that one. Anyone that can play a flute like that is comparable to the flute player of Jethro Tull.
And the architecture in that church overwhelming. I looked at that architecture in that church like I look at Bridges
That was good enough for me to write home about
I would like to thank you for that one
Extremely Nice!
And I had to watch it again.
So soothing to the soul for me.
Was that Greg Lake from Emerson Lake and Palmer? Do I even need to ask that?
Perfect!
