    A quick post and then I have to head in. Chief, great job on the school land deal! I can see it now, a new movie "The Negotiator". Small town Mayor Chief stands up to School Board and wins. Wins not only for his town, but for the school board, the county, and the kids. Coming soon to a theater...

    Brutus, I finally took the plunge on an opportunity. I had gone to ToysRus to get some supplies for a mother in need through our church's outreach program. When I walked in, they had a sign, "One Wii Available", I went in and picked up the ticket. Got information on the extras I need for it...

    John, great news on Barry. It may be awhile before he is ready to return to the sand box and play, but it is perhaps the best outcome. He will probably have to get a implantable defibrillator put in soon and have some extensive follow up for the time being. He is fortunate that he was so...

    Congrats on the Baby! New Dads are easy to spot, they have that exhausted look with a huge smile:thumb:. Chief, skies look clear here, so I hope you do get some water for the plants. Had considered doing container garden for the veggies, we will see. Have the land, just not the time to work...

    Had a great night, went out with a couple that we are friends with. Came home to watch some slide shows of the movie making and then they had a book of photos from their Africa trip this winter. Well, night is over, time to get to bed. May you all have a blessed weekend. Dennis

    Did someone say "Toot"? Anyway, hope everyone is having a blessed day. I have a few things to take care of, but should be a good one. Plan is to do some layout wiring and diagram writing. I have to look into buying some TPCs and perhaps a few other control items. Gotta run, God Bless, Dennis

    John, certainly was a busy day for you. It sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for the report and I hope you have even more information come Friday. Hope everyone is doing well tonight. I have been trying to catch up on my rest and also trying to read up on some information. Got a book in the...

    quick stop by to say "Hello". Not much happening. Case was cancelled this morning, so I am off to Hobby Lobby to see if we have any additions to the offerings. Usually they have a few houses or built up layout items from Cornerstone. Perhaps I will take my daughter out for a Daddy/Daughter...

    Good Morning all! Well, we have a few big cases today. I see the temps have taken a nose dive in most regions of the country, including here. Was in the high 30s when I left and should get back into the high60s this afternoon. Perhaps that will keep the mosquitos down a bit.:cry: I know the...

    Good evening. For those who asked questions of me, sorry, I tried several times to post last night and it just wouldn't go through. Now memory has failed and forgot who asked what and what the answers were. This computer is not too user friendly. Had a great day yesterday at church. We had...

    Well, I'll try this again. We interviewed a nanny for the kids this summer. She is a student who is trying to get into foreign missions and has plenty of experience with small children. Looks like that is taken care of. We then tried out a new restaurant. Has Blues and Barbeque. The ribs...

    I survived the night out with my son and about a dozen other kids. Didn't get much sleep between the hard ground and the noisy kids, then, when I was eating breakfast next to another father who is in his 19th year in the Marines, I realize I have nothing to complain about. I was here with my...

    Tom, sorry to hear of your children's misfortune. Not sure what to do with the daughters "friends", but with regard to the boy's "friend", I would not say or do anything prior, but when he comes over, you could pull him aside and tell him "We have evidence that a certain individual has removed...

    Good evening everyone. Sorry I'm so late getting here. Had to go in emergently this morning to handle a case. All fine, but it does tend to set you off for the rest of the day. Was busy with that, then did some work on friend's new house. Moved a washer and dryer as well as did some fixes...

    Sir James, great report! You must be doing something right. I have nothing planned for tonight. If they leave me alone, I will spend some precious time with the family and then get to bed early. Don't dare go to church or any other plans when I am on call, that is asking for trouble. Hope...

    Good morning, been real busy. Already onto 7th case. I had one of the Ortho guys check my thumb. If it is not better in the next few days, may have him work on it. Don't want that as it would put me out of commission. Weather wise, it is supposed to head to low 80s today and by Friday, it...

    Good Afternoon! We are getting ready for yet another emergency. They usually come in threes, but I think we are getting into 10s now. Lots of action to keep me out of trouble, yet also keep me from trains. Chief, glad you didn't have to put the suit on again...so embarassing... I know, the...

    Chief, best wishes for Frankie and his dog. Having been through a lot with our dogs this past year, it hurts when they hurt. Like our kids. Good luck with your appointment at Doc's. Enjoy that grand opening...they aren't going to make you wear that silly outfit again are they? God Bless, dennis
