Welcome!
We are in the Pacific North West!!!
[8-|]
Thanks, Galaxy …
Welcome Diners!
English spoken here!
I have: spit polished the Rivet Counter, Lubed all moving parts, Cleaned out the ice machine, Finished the dishes that weren’t broken inthe move, Waxed the Floor {Oh, My, I forgot to put out the “Slippery Floor” sign!!!}, polished the vinyl booth seats, and filled the coffee urns with fresh coffee!
Whew I am exhausted!
I figured we haven’t really been to this part of the USA, so why not?
[8-|]
Decaf coffee in a STORMY SOUTHERN mug, please.
Pacific Northwest, eh? Well, I see my sister out gazing at the falling snowflakes, but they are not sticking. Oh, and my Dad celebrating his 88th(?) birthday on his new electric wheels.
Thunder boomers are here. Just a little orange blob on the radar…yawn! Already grabbed a shower so if a tornado did blow me away, the search dogs wouldn’t turn up their noses when they found the body.[(-D]
[C):-)]Rob
Hey guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah crash
[B)] I’m ok.
Started filling out FASFA stuff online. I really don’t want to go to college, and alot of teachers are shoving it down our throats. (Not going there) All I want to do is get my welding certs.
TIG welding’s actually not bad. it’s one of my favorite methods.
Terry- I don’t suppose that you would mind if I brought my snowmobiles up there would you?
Rob- Yikes. twisters already? I can wait for that up here.
Backs- I feel sorry for you guys. I try and take care of my back, in all reality, I’ve only got one and the Germans haven’t made a whole back replacement yet. Hey Urlich, aren’t you guys a good 10 years ahead of the US medically? I heard that somewhere.
Pacific Northwest huh? As long as we aren’t in California I’m good. Feels good to be back in the US of A
Evening All,
Had computer problems earlier but MOH fixed them. Somehow my internet connection was turned off
. I laid the track today and it works 100% better, I can run a K4s through the entire siding at speed without any derailment problems, so that makes me 
.
I do have a issue though with power. When I put either of the double turnouts in the diverging route the power goes away in the turnout. This is the same for both if them. I’ve asked a friend to come look at them to try to figure it out.
Terry- Yikes with the snow. I’m with Jeff on the snow.
Rob- Glad your back is doing better.
Everybody have a good night,
Hey all, I see there were no takers on the down under trip? Maybe for April… It will be lovely Autumn weather…
Time to call it a night. See y’all tomorrow.
Good Eveniiiiiinnngg!!!..CRASH!!! tinkle pop …[B)]
OK!!!
Who put the tomato on the floor right by the cash register???
Brushing off the stuff off the back of my shirt and pants…[|(]
I spent some more time today reinstalling 5Gb of samples into my DAW…hopefully they will be reauthorized tomorrow…[|(]
I’m going home now to clean up after this wonderful surprise…[:-^]
Evenin’ folks!
Well… here I just got so I could converse a bit in Japanese, and galaxy brings us back stateside. (I don’t don’t think he ever did learn any of the language over there… Otherwise he would have been upset with some of the stuff I said about him…) [:-^][(-D]
Oh, Janie, place looks good, i see you took down all the decorations we had over across the pond… Just a cup of decaf please.
I had to speak Canadian all evening… I was the only South of the Border guy that showed up for the Board of Directors meeting. We got a lot of w*rk done and it was a very productive meeting. I’m looking forward to working with these guys for a while. I also managed to get another Fast Tracks turnout almost made and some cork roadbed laid today.
I’ll go back and sit by the stove in the back and get warm for a while.

Ray: … Eh?
Eh Fellow Dinners, Eh.
Flo Beer Pleases!
Will tell more of the saga of I am the Larry I can do anything I want Thursday, my day off. But I am sure he will self destruct and I don’t think it will take that long! [swg][Y]
Well, cutting it short. Late customer so I got home late, and I want to watch NCIS on CBS.com.
Ken
Good evening everyone. I love the Pacific Northwest, even Nor-Cal.
I’ll have an Apple Pie ala mode with whipped cream and a cafe mocha to accompany please?
It’s two minutes after 12am, March 1st, in lovely Lancaster PA, and I do not work until 6pm tonight so I get a whole day to just relax woohoo! I may job-search, read, work on a freight car kit, I don’t know yet.
Alvie
Good Morning!
I got up in the middle of the night, just to perform my duty of moving the Diner to its March location. I took that supersonic flight to Japan, only to found out the Diner had been moved already!
Not a bad place, the Pacific Northwest. Certainly had the best time of my life while I was there as a kid of 17. Bainbridge Island was the place, surrounded by the waters of Puget Sound, just opposite of Seattle. I have lots of fond memories on taking the ferry to Seattle and watching schools of Orcas plowing through the water, memories of wonderful hikes through the Olympic Mountains … Those were good days!
Thanks, Galaxy, for moving the Diner to one of my favorite places in the US!
Ken - I am keeping my fingers crossed that your work issue will be settled and this Larry gets what he deserves. Unfortunately, it´s those sneaky creeps who often win - what a world!
Jeff - I love that rail bus! It was introduced in Germany in the early 1950´s to make branch line passenger service more economical and was actually quite effective, though not really comfortable. They were built like buses and had a simple truck diesel engine for power, giving them a unique sound. They disappeared from German rails in the mid 1980´s, many of them were sold to countries ll over the world. The East German Reichsbahn built a copy of it, which was appropriately nicknamed “Ferkeltaxi” or “piglet´s taxi”.
Have a good one!
Ulrich, as far as I Am The Larry Show I think all I really have to do is sit back and watch him go BOOM! If I get the chances, I will throw some gas on the fire.
Night
Good Morning! from Tipton IN.

TIPTON
GOOD MORNING!!!
Today is Thursday, March 1st, 2012!!!
Top o’ the mornin’ to ye!!!
Beware the ides of March!!!
{A little early to practice the ol’ Irish brogue, but St. Patty’s day…she’s a comin’!!}
[8-|]
Why, ULRICH, you are welcome!!! I just thought I am not sure when or IF we were last in this part of the country, so I thought what better place than here!
Sorry if I “stole” your thunder, but you WERE able to lock the old diner for me, er US! Just t hought it was getting late and time to move on!
RAY- I spoke all the Japanese I know, then some!!! I don’t know if when I will ever be there , MOH would dearly love to go, but I have no desire, so I don’t know when I will need more Japanese!!
Wintery mix out there this AM…careful and steady as she goes!!!
[8-|]
(flings door open) OK!! LOCK the bathroom door!! NObody let Ray in the bathroom today. No WAY! He goes somewhere else. I saw what he ate before he left Japan. We won’t be able to use that bathroom all month. Super great guy and we love him to death, but we have GOT to draw the line somewhere.
Good Morning!! Coffee and a waffle please. With real butter and maple syrup of course, oh and could I have a couple thick slices of brown sugar bacon. Thanks.
Sunny, with a high near 54
Happy Mar 1st. Sorry I didn’t get any cards[:-^].
Never been up here wester than Wyoming or norther than California. Death Valley actually. Only the Army would put a post in Death Valley (shakes head). Of course, The Marines have one basically across the road, but at least they picked the side with trees. Well…, only 29, but still…. I remember the most important thing of all about that place. Don’t touch the frogs. They’ll pee and die. Yup. “they’ll pee and die”. You just can’t make stuff up any better.
Well like some of you, I celebrated my extra accumulation of time in the form of an extra day doing what all people on a holiday should do. Nothing[Y] [8D]. Yes folks I admit yesterday I…did…NOTHING! I sat at this computer and watched Ziva[:P], then sat in my chair and watched who knows what on TV until one[|)], then Ziva again all afternoon[:P]. Felt good actually. Kinda guilty but good. I could have gone in the train room I suppose, but I can’t do anything in there really until I clean it up and that is w**k. I think Leap day should be a holiday. Now THATday only comes around every FOUR years. I think I’ll make it one here.
[pi] [^] [<:o)]
Ya’ll have a Great Day!!!
Not my day today.
Went to a job interview this morning, but failed the medical. I was kind of expecting this, but I was still hoping to pass.
Seems as if I have run out of luck these days.
I was just wondering when I had laughed the last time, must be ages ago.
Better to leave now before I start to pull you guys down.
