To My Friends....

 

After serious and cautious consideration, your contract of friendship has been renewed for the New Year 2010!

 

My Wish for You in 2010

 

May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts.

 

May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills.

 

May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!

 

May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be those of joy.

 

May the problems you've been having forget your home address!

 

In simple words...

 

May 2010 be the best year of your life!

Carl:-

Whadda great list of sentiments.  I'm severely, sorely, and terribly impressed - my highest accolade!

Cheers to you too!

Happy New Year everyone!

I will keep this brief since my right hand is still messed up from the fall I took on Dec. 10.

I will have to unpack my clutter that was packed hurriedly after the flood in Nov. so I can de-clutter my clutter and then repack said clutter in a more orderly manner.

Curling is now a bust for the rest of the season. I will have to leave the realm of participant and join the ranks of couch potatoes and watch it wherever it occurs. TV, streaming video or whatever.

Interesting story:

I guess the incident happened last summer. The CP train terminated at Bensenville.

Anyone care to list any 'resolutions' they might have?

Sure.  Burn through the last of my 35mm Kodachrome before I can't get it developed anymore!  Other than that, be a little safer in my everyday activities than I was last year.  

HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone!

I have one:

1) To not make any New Year's resolutions.

2) To not break my New Year's resolution.

 

Wait a minute........

I'm a poor de-clutterer, so I'll try and restore the clutter into a usable, organized, entity in the dungeon.

Organized confusion?

Happy (and better) New Year to all!

Lose the fear of retirement.

 

Don't see why you fear retirement Carl......You live right in the heart of railroad land and and other aspects of it surely are secure.....I will admit it really took me most of one year to really finally "do it"....But haven't looked back.

I have a few...

Restore (with help) my health. Outpatient heart surgery in two weeks will be a start.

Lose the fear of retirement.

I'm a poor de-clutterer, so I'll try and restore the clutter into a usable, organized, entity in the dungeon.

Get back to freight-car research (and dissemination) that keeps pace with the sightings.

Keep in touch with the friends I've made on this Forum--and hopefully meet a few more!

I have a ton of "decluttering" to do.

Here's the obligatory link (http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/p/159482/1825209.aspx#1825209) to the last version.  Welcome 2010 (in a couple of hours anyway lol) and I hope it's a good one for everyone.
