Thank you CJ! Really good to know that.
That certainly eases my anxiety. My oil check, urination, and other is all ok, so hopefully all will be well.

BTW: I am hoping to get something going over here after Thanksgiving. I would like you and the other boys of ARG to come over and have another great time of play, story telling, and of course: EATING! :)

When I pulled the old Gateway monitor out of the closet today it initiated a collapse of a mid level shelf that has a bunch of stuff on it. As it was falling toward the door I slammed the door shut. I hope that when I open it again to continue clearing it out that I remember that and stand to the side.
 


I think Fibber Magee lives here!!:eek::eek:

Did that plenty of times myself, in 3 different countries. So the law of gravity works the same there as it does here. But what would I know. I never studied law.:D
 
I had an unwelcome visitor last night. I kept hearing a tapping noise at the door but when I would look out the window I couldn't see anyone who might be knocking. Finally I just opened the door and in shot a squirrel. Not one of the little gray critters either. This was one of the big red ones. Anyways it ran in and made a beeline for the underside of the layout. Of all the places it could go (including a really hot place that came to mind) why there? I moved several cases of rolling stock out of the way then went under the layout after it armed only with a heavy metal bucket with lid and a 1x2 about 18" long. I located the big bugger behind a box of assorted MR supplies, structures, power packs, etc. I flushed it out and it ran into the bucket but before I could get the lid on it jumped out, bounced off the underside of the layout and landed right between my knees at which time it jumped up and shot out from the layout, down the hall and into the bedroom. Great! I found my furry intruder under the bed. Aha, I thought. This would be a great use for that 'Grip-n-Grab' I bought a couple of months ago. I got it and reached for the squirrel. I should have known this was seeming way too easy. Just as the jaws of the grabber were closing around it the squirrel jumped up onto the jaws then ran up the grabber then up my arm, over my head and across my back. It bounded over the laundry basket at the other side of the room and ducked behind the TV stand. By this time I was feeling like I was the butt of some practical joke thought up by someone with a sick mind. The space behind the TV stand is open at both ends but I can only cover one at a time. Then I had an idea. I placed the bucket on it's side at one end then thrust the end of the grabber in at the other end. The squirrel ran out and went right into the bucket. I dived on the bucket and slammed the lid on it like a wildcat pouncing on a rabbit. Finally I had my unwelcome guest right where I wanted it. I took the bucket outside, set it on the ground and removed the lid. NO SQUIRREL! I went back inside and there the bugger was, on the layout, right on top of Ezra's Exxon station mocking me. I quickly noted that it had tipped over Ezra's house and knocked over a GP7. Now I was mad. I reached for the grabber and with the speed of a rattlesnake striking it's victim I caught the fluffy tailed rodent. This time I could see that I had it. It was right there in plain sight. I took it outside and slung it partway across the yard just to keep it from trying to run up the grabber like it had before. It ran up the nearest tree and sat on a branch and started barking at me in what seemed a most uncomplimentary tone. That was fine by me . I went back inside.
 
Here I am, sweating out the score of the Auburn vs. Old Miss as the 3rd quarter winds down. As the 4th quarter starts, Auburn leads 44 to 17, but Old Miss is driving to a score.
I told my wife I would not relax until Auburn was leading by 30 points. I am still nervous at this moment as they are only 27 points ahead!

No trains today, I went car shopping with my daughter and to a birthday party for the youngest grandson as he turned 5.

Well, Old Miss scored, so I have to go cheer for my team and comment on the idiot TV announcers.
 
Hey guys
Just got back from my kids college. Hard to believe that he's been going there just over a year now, and today was the 1st time we were there. See, his Mother always seemed to be front and center there, and I think Kevin was kinda afraid of how his Mother and me (with Stepmom) would all be in public. This weekend was parents weekend, and his Mother could not attend this weekened, so we got the invite.
I must say, I was impressed with him, and his frat brothers. We had a delightful time, touring the college, meeting the other parents, and his frat brothers. I definately is not "animal house". All the boys have high GPA's and they are a bunch of clean cut kids.
I must admit, I was apprehensive when he called me about coming up tonight to meet the fraternity, but I now think I'l sleep better for the experience.:D

Flo, howabout some pie ala mode, and a cup of decaf!:)

I don't know how many of you remember the Ford transmission linkage fiasco back in the 1970's. I owned a 1970 LTD that had the problem. It would shift itself from "park" to "reverse" when it felt like it. One morning, I pulled out to the end of the driveway, got out, leaving the car running, and walked across the road to get my mail out of the box. About the time I opened the mailbox, I heard a "clunk", then the sound of my car moving away rapidly away from me. I turned around in time to see the car rocket down the driveway, across the yard, through the neighbor's fence, into his pasture. At that point, it went out of sight, but not sound. A few seconds later, as I was running down the driveway in hot pursuit, I heard a "Splash!".
I got to where I could see the car, and saw it had found the neighbor's pond. The back half of the car was under water, the front half was still on the bank, still running, still in reverse. Sigh.
"Hey, Bob! Can I borrow your tractor to pull my car out of your pond?":eek:

I remember those linkage problems. You had to shift the vehicle into park firmly, making sure the lever went as far as it would go. My 81 Dodge van is the same way except that it hasn't shifted to another gear - yet. You just can't get the key out of it until the lever is all the way up and locked.
