More and more I've been working in THAT department. I think age has more to do with my diminishing incandescence than the job.. who knows ?
I seriously do not know what to do today..

I havn't done laundry in 6 years, I just find my cleanest dirty clothes and wrap them around a urinal cake and leave them on the floor for a few days before wearing.
It's a good system
Oh Randy, again! So you ascribe to "keep your friends close and your enemies closer?" Probably cuts down on both.
If you stand up real close to them, just before they go off, those spray air fresheners in the restroom work pretty good too…time it just right you can do both arm pits with one spray!

There you go , another voice of experience.
Just to ease up on the personal hygiene techniques.
I want to wish everyone in the Cafe a very Merry Christmas.
I will be up at my sister's place with my Mom on Christmas Day.
It has been anywhere from -5° to +5° F here for the last few days, with some snow and Ice Crystals. But the high humidity is the real corker. It is 81% now, and I checked after returning home from a quick trip to the grocery store yesterday, it was 84%. That would be about 60% higher than it usually is at these temperatures. It really makes a cold day much worse.
Everyone have a geat Holiday Season.

Worked with a conductor that would bring in a pile of freshly-washed bibs every Monday. I would yell at him for washing all the experience out of them. Of course I had the sweatshirt that could stand on its own.
Oh yeah, Merry Christmas and all that. By a stroke of luck I have off tomorrow. Was scheduled to work - but a last minute change made my services unnecessary. Although some would probably argue they were never necessary to begin with, but I digress...
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

Not personally, but as with anyone who's been in this business for 35 years, it's hard not to at least know somebody who knows somebody, and I do. What makes this more personal is that we lost a firefighter/EMT in the next district several years ago when an apparently unbalanced person retrieved a rifle from another room while being examined for a reported medical issue, shooting and killing the EMT.
Dispatch audio, including one of the injured firefighters reporting on conditions on the scene and his own injuries, is available on Statter 911.
Not for the weak of heart.

Merry Christmas to all of you (I am posting this just before midnight MST).
After the six p.m. service at our church this evening, I went to daughter Katie's house for a family get-to-gether, complete with supper and opening presents (I was even given a stocking with little presents in it). Tomorrow, after our ten o'clock service, I will go to daughter Ginny's house for another get-to-gether, complete with brunch and presents.
Unless something comes up to prevent it, next month Katie, her daughter, and I will be moving into a house Katie and I are buying. She and her daughter will have the main floor, and I will have the lower floor, with its step-father apartment. This will be better than my living about fourteen miles from her, as I do now.

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Good morning and Merry Christmas all.
And, with a muffled thump, several inches of snow arrived here overnight. I got home from Christmas Eve at daughter's house with no snow in the air, and awake to find that I can once again use last year's new snowblower (which hardly saw any use last year...)
I'll be tooling through the Woodland Scenics website, looking for ways to spend the gift certificate they gave me.
Grandson was a joy, as usual, and completely loves the "Octonauts" toys Papa got for him. The church service was also nice, and the congregation was overjoyed to see their senior pastor, who is doing very well after triple bypass surgery a couple of months ago.
Hoping for a peaceful day today - so if you're travelling, do so safely, and keep an eye on the kitchen so I don't have to come deal with the burnt whatever-you-were-cooking.
Merry Christmas to one and all.
Happy boxing day!! mother nature poised to give us some snow.It's back to work tonight for me.Breakfast is ready.Juice and coffee are ready too.
Stay safe
Joe
Good Wednesday morning, and a Belated Merry Christmas to you all! Sorry about not getting in yesterday. But the girls' Mama brought them over early, and Christmas began here. Joe, thanks for getting in early and making breakfast.
As far as our weather is this morning, here in Shepherdsville, we are getting a mix of sleet and rain. I'm just glad to I'm not planning on getting outside any today, unless there is an emergency. Then, I'll dig my boots out, and walk very, very sloooowly: especially down the back steps.
Hope you all had a very good Christmas Day. Take care, if you have to get out this morning. I know that over in Indiana, they have at least 2 inches of snow in some areas, up towards/in Seymour, IN. At least the drivers who are out and about up there, as creeping along, taking it easy, so not too many problems up there traffic wise.
Take care, keep safe and have a Great Boxing Day.
Good Morning!! And a Happy Boxing Day Madness to all of ye!!
We had a very busy Xmas Day here...what with family, friends and neighbours showing up at all hours...chaos I tell you!! Absolute Chaos!!
Well, my list of silliness includes an iPad and Amplitube 3.7....amplifier simulation program as well as a Peavey Vyper 75 watt amplifier....and a couple of Ethanol Kits...two complete sets ...plus about 4 ATLAS RS3's....plus a mess of covered hoppers...heeheehee....and what about about $400 cellphones? I got my wife a new iPhone5....same as mine

afternoon
well got out before mother nature sent us in.The maw has alot of work to do before it can try to get to the NS exchange in woodburn Indiana.#5(ex sante fe) had to go get #4 (ex sante fe)near jewell ohio and 32 cars as well.They have lease cars and the #16 (ex IC) to pick up in defiance.They also have lease cars and #7(ex IC) to pick up in cecil. They have 1 crew and mother nature isn't helping matters.Back to work for me tonight.Lots of people out today are playing benderfenders and have the ditchfinders on.
It's about to start here - the returns on the radar are creeping ever closer. We'll get most of it overnight, I think, so there won't be quite as many ditchfinders in use.
Boxing Day wasn't bad today when I went to town for a couple of items, including a Bluetooth keyboard for my tablet. I don't plan on doing a lot of stuff requiring a keyboard with it, but it'll be handier than carrying my laptop around when I'm travelling.
Gotta run down to the convenience store for some milk. Second thought - I'll walk...
50,000 (or so it seemed) accidents around here today. Only got an inch or two, then sleet, then rain, and then wind.
Best one I heard today was a call from some snowplow drivers on the turnpike that were doing the "plow train" thing. Apparently there was an impatient 18-wheeler behind them laying on his airhorn. The plow drivers were asking their DS if there was a state cop around that could have a "chat" with the moron.
I drove back to Shreveport from San Antonio today. There was suprisingly quite a bit of snow in the Tyler Texas area....a good 2-3 inches....enough to completely cover the ground.
Must have been blowing good here as well, as a majority of the road signs were obscurred by snow.
morning
have errands to run in town.going to see in the maw will head for cecil ohio today.they were held up in the yard yesterday.then it will be bedtime.back to work tonight.Mother nature is going to open the freezer up.
Good Morning
Well...we got about 8" of the white stuff here...lot of plows are out and about doing their thing....
Neighbour was out doing their's and our driveways...and we are now sitting around the kitchen with the hot choco having a good ol' laugh over this...
Have a few things to do today...better to get after them before wife starts on her list again...
Fourteen (yep, a 1 and a 4) inches of the white stuff this morning, and that's settled. I wasn't up all night measuring it fall.
Not to mention some higher drifts.
Cleared out my driveway, cleared a path around a neighbor's truck (he'd tried to put it where it is to get it out of the way of other snow removal efforts and got it stuck), and cleared what the snowplow left in another neighbor's driveway.
Now I've got the paper, my tea is ready, so it's time to warm up and relax for a while.
The snow's not over yet...
Good Thursday morning all. Breakfast is ready and on the warmer station. Our current temp is somewhere in the 20s, high today is to only around 33? So going to be a really cold day around here. Supposed to have another low front working its way in sometime tomorrow, and we should have some accumulation from it Saturday morning.
Off to check emails, and work my way through them. Everyone take care, have a safe morning, take care and will try to get back in later (girls got up,and said they were going to go back to sleep),so don't know if I'll make it back in or not. But will try.
....Could have been worse for us....Our snow started in earnest about 8 am....Wed., and continued for about 6 hr......including blizzard conditions due to the wind with it.
I had no plans to even think of going anywhere...
Neighbor came with one son, and with a rather new snow blower and did our 70' drive way and side walk to the front door and service door to the garage....and I waded out in my slippers to hand him {them}, a 20, and they didn't want to take it, but I insisted, and finally told the son, consider it a Christmas present, so I finally got it given....Streets are plowed....So today, and now the sun is shining we will venture out. We ended up with 6" total.
Temps. have remained roughly around just below freezing thru this whole mess, so nothing really critical in temps. But we had the wind too, until the "wrap around" which is where we got the snow from....had moved on far enough east, and northeast....and then the wind subsided. So, I consider lucky to have had it no worse than we did....Could have had ice, with wind....and possible power outage, and we have a total electric home...but we had no problems with power. Thankful.

Its cold and 38 here in Shreveport. There is a fair amount of snow to the west and north of us. Arkansas really got smacked good.
If you are out and about in this weather, please be careful!
Millie tiptoed out to two dr appts. Schedule them in bundles - do them all @ once!
30 flakes this morning - more to come tonite, I guess. Streets had some surprises, but overall clear Home now until we run out of milk.
Anyone following the "congressional hearing" on one of the threads next door? Sounds just like hearings in Congress! They can't seem to agree on what day or what gender or what up means..
But - it makes for some entertaining reading on a cold winter day. Until I find a hole in my puter monitor and a shoe lying on the desktop!

I'll second the notion from my esteemed colleague from South Dakota! And I do wish to further unto review an amendment to the Trains.com forum rules and statutes that require the wearing of pants, trousers or pantaloons for all posting purposes.
