Texas Hobo
Well Known Hobo
Good morning, all. A pretty nice day on tap. It is warming up again, however the humidity is down. I have a few monthly chores to do day. chlorine in septic system, test run the generator and I think the well is water logged. Not a lot happening on the layout.

It sure seems like there is a wordy bunch in the diner this morning. So let me add.
Three model railroaders go to a train show. It was a large show and they stayed late. Rather than drive home they decided to go to a hotel. The desk clerk told them there was only one room left at $30. Each of the modelers came up with $10. A few hours later the clerk realized he had over charged the men and called the bellboy. "I over charged those model railroader, please bring this $5 up to them". The bellboy, on the way up, thought that the three modelers couldn't split the $5,, so he pocketed $2, giving each modeler $1. So now each modeler had paid $9 dollars for the room.
So, if 3 x $9 =$27, plus the $2 dollars in the bellboy's pocket = $29, where is the thirtieth dollar?
