Yeah, internet withdrawal symptoms are rough.
Humm, RT how has it been the last couple weeks, lets see. Peaceful, Quiet, Relaxing, Tranquil, Calm, Placid, Serene, Even-Keeled, Steady, to name a few.
Glad you back, [(-D] [swg]
Kev.
Welcome back RT.[Y]
Good early evening. I am wiped! Woke at 0500, so after my reading and prayers, did a bunch of work on some buildings for the layout. Had to cut up some trees from the storm. My back doesn’t like hauling logs anymore. Then, had to plant some trees. I still have five to plant, but they will have to wait.
Making some good progress on the layout. I still have to glue some supports for the elevated rail and another bridge, but it is progress. My wife is loving the fact that we can get rid of the boxes of buildings as they are completed. I found plenty of items I didn’t remember having, so I will be holding off any purchases for the time being.
Joe, Doug, thanks for the thoughts about the movie. It is amazing the lives impacted and the stories told. I am blessed to be a part of it.
Hope each of you have a blessed week ahead

Good afternoon all,
Went to Local TCA meet today and chatted with old friends. Saw a Flyer water tank for $45. Thought about it but passed. I already have two Lionel tanks on the layout anyway. There was an auction after the meeting with lots of MPC era freight cars going on the block. All were like new in original boxes but were only bringing between $7 and $10 each. One or two went for $13 and $16. There were so many that it was taking up all the auction time. I finally left about 1:15 PM. Couldn’t take it anymore and didn’t need any cars.
Had a late lunch at home and now am falling asleep over the computer. Wife was watching a rerun of the Republican debate on TV and that really put me to sleep. I already had seen it.
Hope the Chief and Buckeye have a good get together in Roseyville today and bury the hatchet for a while and not in each other.
Dog across the street is putting out a warning bark. Must be the mailman coming.
Beautiful weather again today but a little windy at times. Blew hard last night.
later,
Ray
Good job RT on getting a lap top! Once you have a lap top you won’t go back. All I’ve ever had was a desk top (which I still have but rarely use) but since I’ve had my MacBook Pro it’s all we use. Just being able to sit any where in our home and use the computer is a very nice perk [tup]
32 degrees now, lite snow today nothing on the ground.
Busy day tomorrow, setup and operate the module layout at a show…S.J.
Not sure jon as I like my bigger screen with the dessk top but this will come in handy as I do plan to put all my military records on it.
Well will try this again I clicked the torn paper but still didn’t get it to post so may be having to switch to firefox myself.
RT, you may be able to hook you laptop to your tv. One of our Dell laptops has a bad screen so we do that.
Doug, I got the magazine at Books A Million, this is the first time I have seen it there. If you have a BAM near you, may be worth the trip to check it out.
Well, heading to bed.
God bless,
Dennis
RT – just you wait and give it a chance, I NEVER thought I would like this lap top this much, it’s the bomb!!
HE ESCAPES!!! Funny, lady PD who did the DWI video and I had a plan. After dinner, she was coming to the house and catch Buckeye before the drove off. She was to handcuff him for a photo or two. Just before leaving the restaurant, she got a call along with the other officer and the Sgt. Earlier, I was going to get the other lady officer to do the same. While she was talking to us at the PD, they had to rush off with the Sgt. to apprehend someone [I think one of the Jones boys who has an outstanding warrant].
Great time we have had. Everyone at Miss Edna’s loved him.
Now for a plop plop fizz fizz as ate too much.
Hello all,
A great time was had by all as we played and watched the trains at the http://www.altoonatrain.com/ Spent about 2 hours there. We usually get there a couple of times a year. The rest of the day was spent on miscellaneous stuff.
Sounds like the great raid was a success.
The christmas tree will be removed tomorrow [:(].
Now off to bed
Prayers for those in need
Time for me to call it a night. See y’all tomorrow.
THE GREAT RAID and THE GREAT ESCAPE
Several days ago, Chuck said, “Buckeye you need to be careful when you head out on the Great Raid. No one has ever attempted a mission to Roseyville.
Buckeye, “Don’t worry Chuck. This is just like the Bo and Luke Duke dealing with Boss Hog”
A worried Chuck then said, “Now Buckeye that was a long time ago and the Mayor of Roseyville and his police force are a whole lot smarter than Boss Hog and Rosco P. Coltrane. You need to be prepared for a very sophisticated trap. You need to hook up with someone like Cooter.”

As I drove north today towards Roseyville, Chuck’s sage advice raced through my head. I was now within the town limits and decided I should scout out the Mayor’s mansion. Fortunately, I did not see vicious dogs or armed guards on the grounds. The BOX appeared q
Congrats to Buckeye on the successful Southern Raid!
RT and Roy -GOOD to see you back…
Windy again tonight, it says 46, but I don’t believe…
Just trying to get my paperwork in order, I have another meeting tomorrow.
Firehouse is back to normal and all the broken lights have been “recycled”.
SubBob - NICE tale…totally relate!
Off to bed… more in the morning.
Yay RT - totally agree, you will learn to love your laptop! We got rid of our desktop after a couple years of never using it.
Man - sat down to watch a movie and slept for HOURS, guess I was behind on my sleep. Now I need to watch the movie again! Sorry I missed you guys on the messenger thingie, I’ll catch you tomorrow night.
Bob - I totally related to your story [(-D] Glad you got it working now [tup][tup]
Okay, I sprayed off the TARDIS and it’s good to go!
Evenin’ Dudes & Dudettes.
Buckeye, Hope you took your acquisition with you, never know someone might try slipping some grits in the package.
Bob, That tale of woe applies to more projects than trains. [banghead]
Been dead on my butt most of the day, after a very long day at the museum it was time for the munchkin to spend the nite with Grandma & Grampa. Stayed up past his normal bedtime to watch Kung Fu Panda, actually he and I both watched it. [:D] So you know what was next, he was brite eyed & bushy tailed at 4:30 am needless to say I wasn’t. I ended up rattling around the kitchen a little after 5 trying to get waffles and sausage going for breakfast. A little after 7 I crashed til 11:30, the Better Half expressed some concern because my BP & HR were a bit low but I believe I was just plain pooped from getting up early & the runnin’ round.
John, Hope Kyle gets a smile out of the goodies, prayers continue for him and his family. [angel]
In my case I guess you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, I’ll keep my desktop. The biggest benefit is there is absolutely no risk of me falling asleep and dropping it from my lap onto the floor. [:-^]
Don, Great photos ! [tup]
