I've been waiting for years for the meteor strike that will wipe them out.I hope nothing bad happens with the Kardashians now...
Unfortunately it will probably wipe the rest of us out, too.I've been waiting for years for the meteor strike that will wipe them out.

I'm at a very low point in my life and I don't know if I have the strength to continue on since hearing of Brad and Angelina's divorce. I may not be able to work my way out of this one.
I hope nothing bad happens with the Kardashians now...
Simply devastating...BTW: who are they???
My life hasn't been the same since the Liz and Dick split. Always disappointed that she didn't seek me out!

Reminds me of something I saw yesterday on Fox News, someone did a "person on the street" Q&A on a northeastern college campus. Here are the questions and results:
1) Who is the Vice President? 0/5
2) Who did we win our independence from? 0/5
3) When did we declare our independence? 0/5
4) Who won the Civil War? 0/5 - Although one responder said "the Confederates".
5) Who are Brad & Angelina? 5/5
6) Who was Brad's ex? 5/5
This is a college campus of today!

According to sources at my supermarket checkout counter, Brad's other "ex" has been pregnant for the past 10 years!
Afternoon All,
Did a couple of outside chores today before the temperature reached the melt setting. Tomorrow I'm heading up to Jon's and Phil should be there. Today MRR wise I painted the trim and window frames for the weigh station. The roof will be black, The trim is dark green and the walls will be gray. I also painted the wood flooring that surrounds the track. When I mount the structure on the base I will add a couple of people inside and put a light in it.
Sherrel- Good one. With everything going on in this country and the world it amazes me how anyone could possibly care about them. Just 2 more overpaid prima donnas that think their views and morals are better than mere mortals.
I hope everyone has a good night.
Morning Everyone! It's 68 headed to 82, I believe. Put this in your almanac! It rained a pretty slow, steady rain yesterday for most of the afternoon. First moisture we have seen in over 130 days!
OK, GUYS - No surgery at this time. Yesterday was a scan and an esophagogram which will be sent to specialist vascular doctors somewhere in LA where I will have to go IF I have surgery on the aneurism. By the time I returned home from the tests yesterday, I have never been more sick in my life. I had to drink about three pints of some god-awful-tasting stuff from a straw while the test was in progress. Needless to say - I did not make it from the car into the house before the explosion happened. I don't want to say anymore .. but spent most of the day in the bathroom.
I certainly PRAY that none of you ever have to experience that.
Please be advised that I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your thoughts and well wishes!
Howdy everybody.

This last one is a picture of all eight of the air conditioner/refrigeration units that came in the Cornerstone kit, before I painted any of them.

Magnificent, truly a master piece!Louis ... I think your son and his wife made a wise decision.

I'm not against the technology, but I don't want to spend that much time in my vehicle to appreciate it.Good morning. 45 degrees to start off the day with scattered clouds. Must have had a shower not too long ago as I had water beaded up on the car.
Louis - I can relate to your experience with the Impala. When we went to the National Bowling tournaments last summer, we rented a large SUV and ended up with a new Chevy Suburban which had every possible bell and whistle on it. My buddy and I split the driving, and the one who was not driving operated the numerous electronic gadgets. He happens to own a new Impala and he does admit that he really dislikes the lack of buttons and switches in the Impala. His wife hates the car because of the touch screen. You have to take your eyes off of the road too long to do what would be a simple operation with conventional controls. When I was in Daytona last spring the Ford Fusion I had was also a pain. Being alone, I found myself pulling off of the road and stopping to peck through the touch screen to do what would have been a minor task with buttons and switches. In the suburban it wasn't bad because the passenger could operate the touch screen. I have totally given up on buying a new vehicle because of all of the technology that auto makers are putting into cars that are new standard in just about all new vehicles that I really have no use for but am expected to pay for. I am lucky that I probably have enough vehicles to drive that will mot likely be around long after I croak.
Guess I'll post one and get out of here. A heavy Mike crossing the Gallatin River.

Louis: The Impala is a great car, with a lot of power. The Equinox doesn't look bad either. Nothing wrong with having a fleet of Chevys around.

Taken by WJ McCurdy in 1972 or 1973, the Electric Locomotive Shop at Wilmington, DE, then still under the Penn Central. It was truly amazing what was accomplished in this building. Note the small details.
I was always a Ford man when I was buying cheap used cars to repair and drive. When I started buying newer cars I went to the dealer where my cousin Cindy worked. I believe in family loyalty and like always; do something nice for others and I find reward for myself. Chevy has been great to me and my kids. I am a proud Chevy man now!

Accidents are always frustrating and time consuming, nobody wins. I am sorry to hear about your troubles, but it sounds like some good driving to have prevented it from being even worse, well done. Great job not to have lost your temper, getting locked up is never good.Good evening. It's cloudy and 77.
I think a few days ago I mentioned something about the fact the city is trying to repave the road in front of our house. One of the ID10T things they did, was place orange barrels in the road, over the top of the exposed manhole covers that are now sticking up out of the street. This effectively blocks lanes randomly all up and down the road, and forces people to drive around the barrels into the face of oncoming traffic. The predictable happened on the way home from work, and another truck drove nto my lane to avoid one of the barrels. I now need a new driver's mirror. I turned around and gave chase to the other truck, and after suitably impressing upon the driver the folly of their attempting to leave the scene of the accident, we exchanged information.
While not a catastrophe or disaster, it's still a PITA.
Good morning Everybody!
It's 70 with 85% humidity under cloudy skies in southeast Baltimore.
I spent the morning at the Koon's Chevy again. This time with my son and his wife. My son is smart and thoughtful, he traded his 2013 Camaro in for this 2017 Chevy Equinox it makes much more sense for a married man.
This thing is loaded with bells and whistles, so many that he keeps finding news ones. It's good for him and his wife because they like that stuff.
It looks like a satellite Chevy dealership in front of my house now.
Have a great day Everybody!
Thank you Karl, but I thought the recommended oil change interval was 5000 miles, is it higher? I'm still a firm believer in 3 months or 3000 miles because of all the humidity we live with in Baltimore. I worry about condensation accumulating.Nice Rides Louis!
Do yourself a favor, and also tell your son. Place a piece of black tape over the "Change oil soon" light on both the cars. I don't give a Rodents posterior what the dealer says, or for that matter what GM says. Change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles with the Dexos semi synthetic oil it was born with. The achilles heel of GM powerplants these days is the timing chain system. Undersized oil passages, and multiple chains driving twin camshafts with hydraulic tensioners are a bad mix with dirty oil. I've got 1 tech that makes a pretty good living changing them, and they are not all under warrantee. It may seem like folly now, but in 80,000 + miles you'll thank me.
Garry, you mill shot is amazing!
Well the hours are counting down to blast off! Catch y'all later from the wifi at whatever hotel we land at!

Note, the PC ARS18 (ALCo RS11) in the background. PRR/PC also maintained diesels inside the same building as the GG1s.
Boy I bet that was. During my career, I was involved (planning and observing) in several very heavy machinery moves and repairs, and some of it was amazing.Willie: What was more fascinating, was how the derrick was rerailed.
Depends.I certainly PRAY that none of you ever have to experience that.
So, I got home, ate supper, and decided to play with my trains.
First, I got out a new in box Bachmann 70 ton switch engine I got a while back, put it on the track, and tried to run it. "Clunkclunkclunk...." Both axle gears in the rear truck are broken. So, I submitted a repair request to Bachmann, and printed out the shipping label.
Then, I got out the BLI Paragon 3 I1Sa I've had for six months or so, to install a replacement for the defective decoder (sigh). The tender shell was stuck, and I applied a little more force than usual to remove the shell. When it popped off, both sets of rear steps popped off the frame, as well, flying off into never-never land. (sigh)
I pulled out the old decoder, removed the new decoder from the anti-static bag and-- WTH? They sent me the wrong decoder. It doesn't have the same number of plugs, the ones that are there have different wiring configurations, as well. (sigh!)
At that point, I decided to sit down with an adult root beer (did y'all know they made such a thing?) and not touch anything else for the rest of the night. I removed the cap on the bottle, sat down, and proceeded to dump the stuff all over my lap. (sigh!!!)
Stick me with a fork, I'm done for tonight.
