I have friends who live in Springfield, and my Army Reserve unit was at Ft Belvior just down I 95. However I like Gettysburg better as it is far cheaper to live here than in Northern VA. I used to live in Manassas and Leesburg. VA,
Good morning,
Heavy FOG here, can’t even see Jim’s shed from the house. Will hit 50 today then rain to wash away the salt tonight so they can put down more by Tuesday night.
Welcom back Joe!
Sat. 61/39 but a cold wind was blowing and it felt more like 41. Coldest day so far. Sun. 63/35
Off to church soon
.
Cloudy 35/45 for the day.
Joe welcome home. Va, is a great place to be. I love the Skyline Drive. My cousin and his wife rest eternaly just outside of Waynesboro. We traveled Va. with them N S E & W.
S.J.
59 degrees and sunny. Happy day. Wifey’s cold a little better. Mine the same [but was never bad].
Joe, welcome to REB country. We will have your kids whistleing DIXIE soon. [;)]
Hope all are doing OK.
Prayers for Ray and sister, Dennis and Dougsnotagrump.
Enjoy the day.
Mornin’ boys. Overcast and 57 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Since I won’t be watching playoffs (*Have not watched anything NFL related since 9/24), I’ll be working in the train room.
Demay- Things train related near you. Stop by Ashland, VA. The old RF&P (CSX) runs right down the middle of town. It is the neck of the north-south bottle, so lots of action. Also, check out Doswell, VA, where the Buckingham Branch RR (C&O) crosses over CSX. Might even want to go into the Squashapenny. Annnnd, King’s Dominion is plopped down right between those two towns.
Joe, Fifey is right on Ashland. Worked the Bass Pro Shops there [between Ashland and Richmond on I 95]. Trains run right through the town. Have neat walkways across the tracks so you can go to one side of the street and to the other. Then go to Bass Pro for a visit and a meal [great seafood and etc.].
You CA guys. Just saw a new word on the rifle forum. Pretty good one. Kalifornistan. [;)]
Reason I didn’t do a PS to above. When I typed the 5 on I 95 above, type went to bold. Will not change back. Just love this software.
Mornin’ all!
I hear ya Chief, this forum software bites the big one. Amazing with how sophisticated software is these days how little quirks like this persist.
Looks like we’re getting up close to 50° today: hard to believe considering we were down near 0° less than a week ago. At least this should melt the rest of the snow.
So hopefully get the rest of the Christmas decorations down today. The lights and ornaments came off the tree yesterday, gotta cut it up a bit than drag it to the curb. Hopefully the ground is gonna thaw out, as I have stakes frozen in the ground that I used to put the lighted candy canes out. Can’t put 'em away until I get those.
Have a good one!
Hello there,
Welcome home Joe.
RJ…odds are it needs a starter. Sounds like what happened to me on the way to the beach last summer
been so busy doin nuttin I haven’t taken time to post.
Spent a couple hours two different days introducing new company to former customers. Seemed to be well accepted. Especially the fact that the faces showing up to do the work will be the same.
Also spent several hours relocating a 30amp 3 phase circuit and changing it to single phase for a new (to the school) steam table. This is part of preparation for the lent end seafood buffet. Lent is early this year. Feb 16 is the 1st one. Easter on April 1st.
Now having late lunch. Spent the day at a twirling competition. Grandaughter got a 1st and 2nd.
Best move on.
Prayers for those in need
Evening all!

Banks - congrats on the granddaughter!
Headed out tomorrow with my son for SLC and Park City for a few days of snow skiing/boarding. Meeting a good friend from Paris FR there. Maybe we’ll see Robert Redford. May not be able to post til we get back next weekend.
Good evening all,
Only did 5 miles today. 1:21.10 was the time. Did the first four in 1:04 so I really slowed down the last mile. Got the desk in the house. Watched the Premiere League match on Telemundo. Daughter is doing ok with some minor complications. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Lazy day here. Went to church last night so stayed home this morning. Ate out last night with friend at Mexican place. Pretty plain Mexican food but it was OK. I think we have been there too much. Everything is beginning to taste alike now. Eating at home tonight with chicken, potato salad and cole slaw from the deli at the super market. Easy supper. Cool weather here but sunny. It was a nice day.
Ray
Sunny and warm. Still just hanging around and resting. Wifey still not good. Me not well, but never like she was/is. Mostly hateful cough.
Got a meeting at Town Hall at 1. Then back home.
Specialist apt. tomorrow and see how my special “thing” is going. ??? I really think the strong meds Sat. night made me worse.
Later.
I wasn’t going to post but I saw it’s 13 hours since the last post.
I’m working on my slot car table.
Tonight I go to Christ Powered Recovery sort of Christian AA. I go to a big church and admittadly use church for my social. I have a lot of friends because of it.
CPR started here and is local and this meeting gets over 100 in attendance.
Good morning,
Somehow I wiped out all my e-mails in the inbox, outbox, and trash?? Oh well, I needed to clean house anyway. [(-D]
I see the snowplow brain will show up today so I will install that later. Wife wants to make homemade Chicken soup tomorrow so she is going to get fixings for it. I think she just wants to get out of the house. She is better but has the cough like Chief’s wife that is holding on tight.
A rainy morning but it reached 50 this afternoon. 10 day forcast doesn’t show anything real nasty, that gets us into February and closer to March. Shopping and haircuts today with about a thousand potholes per mile.
S.J.
Good evening,
The weather here has been quite pleasant and I think it reached the low 60s this afternoon. I spent around an hour in the office today and then spent a few hours enrolling the kids in school. The youngest will start tomorrow but the older two will not start until the 30th since that is when the high school here begins its next semester. After meeting with their counselor today, the older two are a bit more excited about this school. It also has plenty of activities and clubs. Tomorrow will be my first full day in the office and I know it will be busy.
Fife/Chief - Thanks for the information. Fife, I have not watched any NFL games since Week 2.
Banks - Congratulations to the granddaughter.
Kev - I am glad you are feeling better.
Major - This area seems like a great place to live.
Good night,
Joe
Good evening all,
Very quiet day at work. Change of plans for the week. Going to St. Louis Wednesday and bringing daughter home Thursday. Hope the doctors do not change their minds…again. Work has been quite understanding, but this plays havoc with all sorts of planning. Ugh. Weather was good for walk today. Got gas at 2.39 before it jumped to 2.69. Yea! I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Mornin’ all!
Raining like a mother up here, may need an ark by this afternoon. Had to walk Corey out to the bus stop with an umbrella because it was so heavy. Tyler didn’t want me to because, well, he’s in high school. Duh! Ah, to be that age again.
Supposed to get up to 56° today: between that and the rain we should see the last of the snow.
Have a good one!
