    Good Afternoon, Y'all! Sorry it has been a little while since last checking in. Seems it was a whole thread ago. Work situation has been a bit crazy and I have had to pull some extra call and now am looking for another partner to fill the position. Anyway, hope to check in more often...

    Opelikabear, I used to live in Columbus, GA. Little bit south of there now. Shame about the lack of good train stores in the area. Great to have you on board. dennis

    Good Morning. Not much happening on this end. I am home alone and will be checking out some movies that are a bit too much when the kids are around. Going to start my little project with the layout today. Also have some honey dos to tackle, just hope they don't call me in to work. Hope everyone...

    Good afternoon everyone. Sorry to hear about the boy scouts, but the boy scouts as a whole were lifted up by the efforts of the rest who helped the injured. Madhatter, that is a beautiful child you have there. God bless you and your family. Looks like I will be taking on more call for the...

    good afternoon everyone. Just enjoying the afternoon as it is a quiet one at the hospital and I hope it remains so. Have a few big cases tomorrow and so it is good to be well rested. Just finished the final details on a trauma cart for when one of the locals gets a bit crazy...happens all too...

    Logicman, all I have to say is "YYYYHAAAAAA!" Down these parts, a traffic signal is just a suggestion. Biggest thing to keep in mind, a tractor always has the right of way....they are just a lot bigger than a car! Hatter, congrats on Seth. Still remember the birth of our son, and so does...

    Good Afternoon everyone! Trying to catch up on some of the past few day's posts. On camping, do it most years in Colorado for Elk hunting. Not too bad, but has been known to go from 70 degrees to -20 in one day. Have had wolves come through the camp and a bear, but that is rare. The one...

    Glad you made it safely Chief! You were right, they do have some good food down that way. One reason New Orleans has had the highest over weight per capita than anywhere else. Was a quiet day. I really want to watch some D-day programs, but with two crumb snatchers, it may be tough. My...

    Hello everyone. Hope all is well for the gang. Have been thinking of breaking out some of my old HO items to use in background scenery and possible another loop of HO for forced perspective. God bless, Dennis

    Happy Birthday to the Chief! Not much to report. Had a salad at the hospital and it didn't seem to agree with me. Tired and not feeling that great. Good thing I have a private duty nurse at home to take care of me. Hope everyone has had a great day. Dennis

    Just a quick stop by before they bring the patient to the room. Was a nice night with the family. Took son for swimming lessons. Daughter doesn't want any part of it. Watched Star Wars I. Then worked on my "project". Hope everyone has a blessed day. Dennis

    Kim, I am sorry to read the news about Shane. You have my condolences. Chief, make sure you take care of yourself. You are more prone to getting pneumonia, so get checked. (and you call Pam stubborn). Don, great shots of that steamer. I remember many times seeing the American Freedom...

    Brutus, Every man needs a good throne to sit upon. One friend has a son who was an apprentice plumber. For a Father's Day present, he installed one of the "Turbo Flush" toilets that had a high pressure flush. Sounded like the ones on a airliner. Needless to say, you don't flush while on...

    Good Morning everyone! Got a bit of a headache this morning, but that is not too unusual for me. Was a nice night at the house, played Lego Star Wars with the son and made some homeade pizza for dinner. Chief, when you talk to RT again, please pass along my congratulations! His has been a...
