HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bob!!!!!! And Many, Many More!!!!!!
Had to go out and get a few things done today, haven't been home all that long, and still trying to get things done.......thought I gave that up a few years ago, guess not!
(retirement/disability ain't what it's cracked up to be!)
Larry, may have to try your system of putting the projects on the computer and keeping track thereof; thought I was finished with "most of" my model railroad projects......until I got a phone call a week or so ago from a fellow "O" Scale friend, wanting to know if I would be interested in taking some stuff off his hands, as he was downsizing. Well, after 8 boxes of Railroad, Model Railroad magazines, "several" "O" Scale car kits and parts along with a lot of other things, I think I'm going to be busy for quite awhile! (anybody got a tender for a 4-6-2 Pennsylvania K-4?; got the loco but need the tender.)("O" Scale 2-rail)
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
I did the same thing (listed them in a database) with my "people." Found out I have some duplicates. Some are OK, but you only need so many "Funerals."
Took advantage of an inventory clearance at a kiosk at the mall today and picked up a couple of remote control helicopters (two for one!). Need to get some place with more room than my house to play with them, though. The little buggers can really cover a lot of territory in a hurry! They are fun to fly, however.
Got a big printing job done today, so now I can relax a little. Have to gin up two reports before the fire meeting next week, and I've got to review the entire year's worth of responses to do so.

Good Friday morning everyone, and an especially good morning and Happy Birthday to our very own Ed Blysard!! May your day be a very good one, even though you're probably "Working on the Railroad" today!! Many happy returns to you, Ed!!
Joe, thanks for fixing breakfast, and Matt, thank you for the New Year's decorations!!
We have 55 degrees this morning, no rain until later tonight, and we'll have a chance of thunderstorms. What a night it'll be!
I will start our new thread, for the New Year, later this evening. Hope we have a very good turnout in here today, so we can end 2010 on a good note.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!
CW - I believe HE is off today, but has to get up early tomorrow for work. What a bite. NYE/birthday and you have to go to bed at 6 pm.
Happy Birthday Ed!
We are really celebrating here - lost our bowl game, 10 above for temps, ice and snow on ground - yippee. But we gladly sacrifice so Houston can have a gorgeous day for your celebration! Enjoy!

Thanks CW,
Working at WoodCraft today, then switching tomorrow, but at double time and a half, I think I can tolerate it!
Besides, most of our industries are on slow down for the holidays, so I doubt we will work all 8 hours anyway.
Now Mookie, if yall had won, then all of the partying and such would mean a big clean up this morning!
10 degrees?
See, there is a reason I live in a swamp!
I am going to spend the evening at home with Aimee and the girls, watch a few movies and such, but for all my forum friends who decide to go out and party, please have a designated driver on hand.
Celebrating and enjoying the end of a hard year is fun, but I really really don't want Tree to have to go out on a run tonight!
Be smart, be safe, enjoy yourself.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes,
Stay frosty,
Ed

Happy Birthday, Ed!
I'm just hanging out tonight, but will have the shoes ready in case somebody decides they really can drive after the party and finds out they couldn't.
I'll second Ed's comment on designated drivers, and caution everyone that even while they're driving sober, be very careful, as there will be people who aren't.
Looking like it might make 50 here today, and the forecast for New Years Day is for rain, not snow. I'm sure Ms Mook's weather will be here sooner rather than later.
.....Some sunshine this morning....Sprng temps. Snow completely melted yesterday.
Your New Year's evening plan sounds like a good one Ed. And enjoy your birthday along with it.
Never did enjoy too much going out on this holiday eve....Always seemed to be a "forced" celebration, and so many of course did it over the top too much....
We wish a good year for our Country, and to all posters on here. May economics improve for so many that have been hit hard. Also, I personally, would like to see us wind down these "wars" {quicker}, we've been involved in much too long. We can't afford to really take on all the "bad people" and solve all the World's problems. If all the free nations of the world would band together, and then try to eradicate some of the major problems....I'd say that would be a worthy approach. But we've done our share, and it's time to pull back and pay attention here at home like we've not done in decades.
Jen....You seem to be pretty close to some nasty weather sweeping across NE. Have heard of no damage in this area from our 3.8 quake on the Richter scale yesterday morning.
Most of the really nasty weather stuff passing this way, fortunately....has been going north of us.
So....Best wishes for a good new year to all.
Quentin
Ed, you're very, very welcome! Hope in the New Year of 2011, you might be able to come in a visit us a tad bit more often! And, maybe, share a pic or two of the grandbaby? Enjoy your evening with the family!! That's the most important thing of all, isn't it.
Texas chili is on the serving station, along with some of the regular Friday Fish Fry, so you all should have a good selection to pick from.
I'll start the steaks around 4, and all the trimmings are just about all prepared, so they'll be ready after 4 p.m.
My hopes for the New Year: May we see some sort of peace come into this world of ours, so our Military Men and Women can come home to their families; Love, Health, Happiness, Friends Aplenty for us all.
P>S> I will start our new thread later this evening, with Ed's Special Birthday Supper.
Happy Birthday, Ed, and for all the partiers out there, don't drink and drive, the cops really hate cleaning up the mess afterwards. The only beer I drink now is of the root variety, the desire to keep my CDL has a lot to do with it (that and .04 is considered legally drunk in a semi). That and after hauling all the beer that I have, I get sick just looking at it......
In the 40s here, rain and thunder going on here, but the bottom is to fall out of the temp tonight, making it harder for the drunks to get home after the roads re-freeze. Going out to dinner with friends later at a place just a block away that has very good fish, will be nice to see them again.
See everyone later.....

Happy Birthday Ed....and a late one to Bob. Misty, Aedan and I plan on a low key evening. We're supposed to get some kind of winter/frozen/whatever falling and freezing so travel is not looking like it'll be fun tonight. I may bring in some Chex-Mix tonight, if I have any left after feeding it to some hungry rails I know. Rumor has it that a 'secret slow order' may be in effect somewhere tonight...
Dan
Just got back in from doing several errands this morning/afternoon, temps in the 60s right now, rain holding off until later today. Took the bike, guess that will be my last bike ride for 2010.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ed!!!!!

Quentin - missed us by inches. We got .7 of snow. But bitter cold for a couple of days. Ah January.
For the rest of you - if I have a Driver the rest of the year, am I the Designated Driver on NYE?
Doesn't matter - not leaving the furnace until Sunday at noon!
