Mitch, get the phone service too - you can talk all you want to Chief and it doesn't cost any extra! Just remember that time zone!
Chief, you are a real gentleman in person too - didn't even cuss me for calling so late!
Nice video Frank and pics Tom and Jeffrey, thanks for sharing!
Don- that is really great, be proud of your son!:thumb:
Cold today and for some reason we are having sleet and freezing rain, guess there is a warm air mass involved - great fun driving home from work in the dark. Lucky I put a bunch of sandbags in the back of the truck yesterday.
Had training today plus a party for my friend Dave Kempf who actually retired a couple years ago. He came back for a year on contract, paid his old salary but still drawing retirement too, and used the money to put a big addition on his house and stuff, so it was basically free! He's a good guy and very smart. Anyway, he paid off the work and decided not to renew the contract - going back to being a full-time retired. He said he is so busy being retired he barely has time for work!
Got my reindeer car - the last preorder item from earlier this year. Also got a few more pieces of gargraves flex track (phantom tinplate) and a gg operating section/uncoupler section with the uncoupler up at one end for in front of a lumber mill in the near future. No OT so plan to go to a TCA train show Saturday, pay my local dues too, and maybe also check out a store called Marty's that is apparently pretty close to my house. Then I want to work on the Christmas layout with kids, so need to go to Michaels. Finally I need to get back to working on the basement. I intend to put up a bunch of insulation. We'll see.
