    Jeffrey, glad you got your eyes on. Sounds like a good job you did for the sister. Other place is down? Nothing much going on here, watching some tv and then have chores and work to do around the house before the weather changes again. TTFN

    Merry Christmas! Watching Christmas movies all day, cooking a roast and sides of dressing and mashed potatoes, but no deserts? Oh well, we have cookies and stuff left over. Hope everyone has had a great day!

    Good morning - thanks for the picture, Jeffrey! Glad to hear that your infection is cleared up. Did you get your glasses yet? Ice and snow here in St. Louis, so kids are off school. My turn to stay home - yay!

    Tired after a long day. Worked 6 hours (yay) then spent the OT money already on Christmas presents for the kids. I did spend a little time working on a layout plans for the future though. Good night! Chief's here, so I know the bed bugs will be scattering again ;)

    We will get up to 50 on Saturday and then sleet/snow/ice storm for 3 day? Yuck! Son got a 2nd place ribbon on his logic circuit computer, and that's great because most of the 1st and 2nd places were obviously done by the parents and he did like 95 percent of this except for some...

    Keep up the good attitude, CSX! They just did a news story here about working on resumes and trying to find jobs that are maybe different but use your job skills. Jeffrey, good news on eyes and all! 28 now in St. Louis. Lost out on a camelback loco on ebay, but another will come along for...

    I've got one friend who was telling his son that WWII was in like 1900 or something. I corrected him and got a big ole pile of attitude from the Dad, though the boy seemed interested to know about it. Back from KC and had a nice visit with family. Glad to be home, though!

    Les - very neat solution! Jeffrey - I had to have a catalytic converter replaced once and it cost about $350 I think. That was about 8 years ago, so it's probably more now.

    Guys, my Mom had a knee replaced a couple months ago and she is doing great now - but, it was pretty rough. Snowed here, but just enough to cover the lawns a little. Roads were wet, but not too bad when I went to work and when I came home. There were a ton of accidents due to ice on...
