TIPTON IN

Howdy all!

May, goodness, I turn 18 this month, kinda scary.

Good Morning

We will be seeing some sun, some cloud…probs more cloud around here…and a high near 70F…more outdoor gardening time!!

The Spring Peepers are singing, the Robins and the Cardinals are singing…plus numerous other critters…good time to be up and getting ready for wk at wk

Have a good day!!

Oh NO!

ANOTHER legal adult!

I am surrounded by them…

That IS scary!

[bday]

But now you gotta wait for the next BIG one…til 21 to have this: [B] or [D]

[bday] anyway!

Actually, here in Australia that is legal to have a drink at 18. Thanks mate![:D]

Good morning.

Alestan: [bday]

Feeling OK this morning. Some more work this evening, but it seems like it won’t be like last night.

Happy birthday Alexander. [bday] [^] [G]

It’s my youngest son’s Birthday today, too! Holy cr_p, he’s turning 33, that means the older son will turn 35 in June! Life goes far to fast, once you turn 30, enjoy your youth, Alexander!

Good morning diners!

Another warm day here in WI. Windows open and fan running last night, and it felt good. A repeat for today, than the change…back to spring…early spring.

Happy birthday to you , Alexander, I share NP’s thoughts on how fast time can fly. It seems to get quicker and quicker. 18 for me?..well it seems like yesterday…well maybe last week? Just glad it wasn’t, been there, done that, and besides, I’d be late for work already…lol…( OOPS…I mean w**k) and certainly wouldn’t be typing on a computer key board while on the …inter-what???..the world net??? uh?..[*-)]

And a happy birthday to your son, too, NP. My youngest son turns 30 this year.

Have a great day everyone !

Mike.

Happy birthday to your youngest son. [bday] [^] [G]

Good morning. It’s 65° with 99% humidity. It’ll be cloudy with showers likely. The high will be 82°.

Shopping will be the prime activity today. I need to do the first half of the grocery shopping as the cupboards are somewhat bare. I also need to get more gauze pads and tape for my foot. I may work on the layout later today.

Good Morning!!!

Coffee and OH! Some of those leftover chicken wings would be tasty.

Sunny, with a high near 83.

CDN Dennis- [(-D]Oh I just have a regular subdivision lot, oops, sorry Estate [%-)] Lot’s a little bigger but mainly pay more in taxes. I make it sound like alot because I’m going for the sympathy vote[(-D]. I do use the tractor for more than just mowing otherwise I would just stick with a push mower. Not MUCH more, but more. And since I don’t have to take care of my Mothers yard, which was an acre, I truly thought about not replacing the thing. This push mower I have now is self propelled so I’m just pretty much walking around the yard. But the wife……well she wants to be able to mow as well[Y] and oddly enough she just can’t seem to get a push mower started[^o)]. Never could. But a riding mower[:D], now she can use one of those[Y]. Usually doesn’t[:-^]….but could.

Alexstan- Your B-day today? Or just this month. If it’s today….[bday]. If later, I take it back and save it for later.

NP2626- Boy you ain’t a kiddin when you say life speeds up after 30. Whew![:|] Hope your boy has a happy birthday as well.

Looks like heading to Nebo today so Brenda can see my Aunt. I have to get the old Cub outta the shed so I can get the new one in before tomorrow cause the rains a comin. Maybe a few storms.

Ya’ll have a good day, ya hear!!!

Um, not to get my nose in anything, but someone asked Jeff a computer question in the other place, can’t remember who. Maybe he’s PM’d you maybe not, that’s not why I mention this.

Why I brought it up is as a helper, around here when we mention someone we want to see something like as in a response or a statement, we highlight and/ or bold the name so it jumps out at the reader. Especially Jeff if he’s not feeling well or if his eyes are giving him fits, he may just skim for his name…or…he just doesn’t wanna answer. But I doubt it, I’ve never seen him refuse to help someone. And, there are other skimmers too, especially if they’ve been away for a bit.

Speaking of away for a bit**…Lee**? You out there? Bet he’s got a few bridge issues.

[bday] to him too! Yep, time goes exponentially faster the age-ier one gets!

Well

Went to the store…no food stamps…had to put the food on CC. Have a call into DSS to find out WHY. Lets see “your call will be returned in the order in which it was recieved”…I called at 8:35, they start taking calls at 8:30, let see how long it takes them to call me back!!! They think if you get services, you have nothing to do but wait for them to call you…

Well, today is free bread day too, they will call while I am getting THAT…

MOH got called in for orientation today…earlier than the tomorrow they wanted MOH. SO we will see.

well of fo my chores.

Alexstan- Your B-day today? Or just this month. If it’s today…… If later, I take it back and save it for later.

[bday][bday][bday] Alex!!!

NP2626- Boy you ain’t a kiddin when you say life speeds up after 30. Whew! Hope your boy has a happy birthday as well.

[bday][bday][bday] to your’s as well!!!

YIKES! And I turn 65 next month!

Where does the time go?

When I was 18, I joined the Navy and went to sea on an aircraft carrier. I saw a lot of Japan and the Philippines, but mostly we were off the coast of Vietnam.

Best of Luck to you and enjoy the next 60 years!

ROAR

WAS JEFFERY in Bismarck Yesterday?

I was at Lowes to get some Masonite so I could start building fascia on my layout, and there in the Parking lot was a car with the license plate L&A 4

ROAR

Most of the time I do just skim over the postings as I have very bad dyslexia, possibly worse than Galaxy’s and there’s a good possibility I’ll miss something meant for me if it’s not highlighted in some way. I take the time to bold and highlight someones display name as I assume they’ll probably be skimming as well. On helping others, I’ll help it I’m able to. If I don’t know about what their asking about I’m not going to pretend that I do. Either I know about it or I don’t. I’m not going to lie about it. Some questions I get are computer related, some are decoder related, some are related to things I’ve done in rebuilding a loco or building a Frankenloco. Sometimes I respond in the thread, other times I respond via PM.

Nope, not me. Mine is a big black and white van with a red and white firefighter license plate. The department let me keep my badge and firefighter status after I retired, a sign of respect for my many years of service.
