Chief, I think them Yankees are trying to invade! I had sleet and hail. The kids got a kick out of it as it was the first time they have seen any white stuff falling in the yard. Quickly melted and the novelty is over.:thumb: Worked on Doll house this morning and last night. Have a little...

John F., I am up to the third floor! I have the Gables to finish and then the trim, etc. Wife is impressed with the progress, so I am allowed to be happy about it too. Chief, Buckeye, I do check in at the other place from time to time, but I figure it is better to stay away and let the...

Great to see ya back Doug! Glad you are on the mend. Chief, have a great time. I did see the OGR article on the layout up that way. May have to take it in during a visit to the area. Jon, how did the work on the bathroom go regarding the cold? I hope you were able to warm things up a bit...

Howdy y'all! Finished up my case and I hope to be heading to the house. I have some errands to run and must call SWMBO to see what else I have. Sometimes it is good to have someone else running the schedule, especially when so much is poured on one's shoulders. I am making more progress...

Brutus, I really do need to work out the photo posting thing. Problem is with this darn computer...when I try to attach photos, it won't work. I have tried multiple time to send photos to John Baker in England and each time, the computer has a error message and talks about "connectivity"...

Good evening everyone. was a long day with a interesting case...read that, it took awhile. Was glad to get home. Did some work on the Doll house. John, it is really starting to take shape. Kids are having fun while I try not to get frustrated with the help. Got a package in the mail today. I...

Chief, hope they used a different scope than the one they use to check the "other" end.:eek: Glad things checked out OK so far, but I know you want the issue resolved. Doug, hope you and the family are on the mend. We have had revolving health issues. With kids, it is going to happen.:cry...

Good Morning. It was in the high 60s when I came in at 8. Hope it stays on the warm side for a bit. Been raining quite a bit and heavy winds. It was about a year ago that the hospital up the street got demolished by a tornado. They have really pulled together and are starting to build a new...

Evening guys. Congrats Mike. Was quite warm today. Kids walking around and playing on swings with wife. Was about 80 and sunny. I understand we have plenty of rain heading our way. It is good to be off call. I have a few things to get done this week, but the weekend I hope to relax...

Good Morning all! A little bit of a restless night, but doing well this morning. Have a morning case and as of 0730, I will be off call! That should free me up about lunch time to get some work done on the doll house and the layout. SWMBO wants progress! Of course she may also have some...

Good evening everyone. Was a good day at church, but bride had to stay home with both kids who were on the sick side. Both had fevers and son was vomitting. I come home to find them conspiring to get a dog or two. I am just not ready for that yet. Did some work on the Dollhouse today, but...

Good Morning everyone! Marcie, thanks for the condolences and the introduction. Always great to have input from the fairer gender. The fact that I am posting this early is testament to the fact that I have an emergency case to do and have just finished setting up. I hate when one hospital...

Don, I will check, but the source for my Fastrack screws had them at my door a day later and were much cheaper than any place I could find. I inquired with a hobby shop I do business with, he told me he can buy the Atlas track screws for about $20 for 1000, and sell them for $0.50 each. It...

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts. Thanks also for the call Chief. Y'all are true friends. Took the family out for dinner tonight....just to get away, and one of the guys with the movie edit team is in town for the week, so we took him along. They are working very long hours and it was a...

:sad::sad:Sad day on this end. Got a page from wife. Dog died in his sleep last night at the vet's. Was a great dog, had him longer than I have known wife. He was comfortable and I suppose things went as well as they could. At least he didn't suffer as long as other dog that we had to have...

Back at work. Left dog at Vet this morning. Got a call later that he is on IV antibiotics, pain medication. His glucose was down to 33, and they are checking why. That is extremely low. His belly is rigid which is another concern, but they have to get him comfortable before taking X-rays...

Morning all, Got a dog in pain, so I will be heading to the vets this morning and then to work. I'd rather be hurting than to see a child or a good dog in pain. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well. Chief, have a good trip. Dennis

Good Afternoon everyone. Finishing up here at work. Have some last minute things to take care of, then to pick my son up from his sister's ballet practice. Poor kid surrounded by all those girls. In 10 years, he'll be wishing to be in the same situation! I am on call, so we shall see what...

Hey Chief! It was warm here too. In the 70s. I wore shorts in to the hospital. I tried to post yesterday, but my darn computer, or the software didn't let me. Anyway, I will try to remember most of what I was going to say: Roy, enjoy Vegas. We had a great time, even without putting a dime...

Well, I got a good deal of time in on the layout today. :thumb: Ran several lengths of "Star" wiring (12ga) to the blocks of the outer loop. Have a few more on that one and then I will start on three more loops and also the yard. I will be running the yard tracks through switches so I can turn...
