Good morning. 33°, and sunny. I wish everyone here a Happy Thanksgiving Day. Safe travel to everyone traveling this weekend.

Eric: Hang in there buddy. Hope things get better for you real soon.

Bruce: Protoville? Really? That's cool. Bottom line with all of this is your choice at your pace.

You like? I just came up with it this morning and it is what I'll name the little town where my industries will be!
 
Good morning. 26 degrees with partly cloudy skies to start off the day.

Eric - Sorry to see you're having such a rough time, but we're all pulling for you.

Bruce - You sure have a lot going on there, but then you have so much room. That will keep you busy.

Beady - Hope you survive the holiday. Try to make the best of it.

Karl - Like the comment. We some times call one of out dogs grumpy. When he's ready to call it a night he'll sit at the hallway by the bedroom and quietly whine until you put him up on the bed.

Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving. We'll be going over to our daughters house this year. Easier than having her pack up all the grand kids and bring them to our house. This way she gets to prepare the meal and has the clean up to do. Grin.gif

You know that's right Montana! I need more mats or carpet down here, my legs were KILLING me last night! I'm about 20 feet too short on command buss so booking back and forth to the throttle is getting old quick! I have some command cable but I'll be needing about three or four more panels to have full coverage. I've found that in this life you CAN have it ALL...just not all at once!
 


Bruce -
I have always been on the way to "Protoville"
"Protoville" - I like it! I also agree on fast clocks, this hobby is supposed to be relaxing. Although they might be a necessary evil to folks with full-blown operating sessions to keep everybody focused.

Draggin my feet until "the whip" comes home, gawd I hate having the house everybody comes to as much as I LOVE now having a house everyone CAN come to! Maybe get a few laps in on the layout before crunch time! (he, HEE!)
 
Beady we pick our friends, but family...

I know your an Antsiest, but if you did believe in God you would have to agree he/she has a great sense of humor :)
"Antsiest"? Don't know about God, but Spellchecker can be a riot!

Regardless; God bless you my friend and have a great Thanksgiving if you can't be here to see my Thanksgiving day post.
Thank you. I take everything in the spirit it's intended; besides, I'm not religious about my atheism. The same back to you.

And the rest of you, for that matter. I don't have a Thanksgiving meme, per se, so this will have to do:

Awesome Beady! I'm more spiritual than religious myself and THAT is the spirit!

It may "take a village to raise a child" but "It takes a Viking to raze a village!"
 
Good morning fellers. I have been busy trying to find a way to get the steps to my coal camp house built. Solution. Small pliers, my file, and a strip of masking tape.

These things collapsed on me yesterday. I was quite furious. Ofcourse my painting didn't work out either. Yesterday was rough! Today is a little better.

Hedging my bets I now have about a ten foot power bus from the command station (had to put it in a permanent position eventually)that splits into these two feeds, one for the mains and one for the yard. I was going to undo one and see what was what but, naw, no point. I found what works for me and don't need to push it any farther.

Afternoon All,

Did a bunch of cleaning jobs this morning, but at least my son was here to help. All I have left is to sweep the floor tomorrow. I will probably be out tomorrow so HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone and I will be back on Friday.

CA Dave- Thanks for the idea.

Eric- I'm sorry to hear of your continuing medical issues and I hope you get some relief very soon.

Louis- Nice train set. Is it a present or for around the tree?

NG- Looking good.

Beady- Great meme.

Justin- I have been there very recently. Sometimes you just have to walk away for awhile.

I hope everyone has a good day.
 
...Fortunately one of my brothers is also assigned beer...a necessary commodity for an Irish Catholic gathering.

Louis - Nice looking train. "N" scale huh? Glad that you posted the picture as I probably couldn't see it (too small) in person. LOL
From one Irish Catholic to another; Buíochas le Dia.

I will start my Thanksgiving Feast with a shot of Irish Glory brand Irish Poitin "the original moonshine" from West Cork Ireland where my grandmother Kelly is from. It's good for the digestion. :) being diabetic I will begin and end my drinking for the day with that shot.

I'm with you Willie on the N scale being too small for me, I have trouble just getting it on the rails, but the little things are so very cool!

If I ever have one break down I won't even contemplate fixing it, I'll just donate it to Terry, I'm sure he can fix it and find a good home for it.

See I know nothing about atheism, I have trouble even spelling it! :)

Never judge a man by his religion, a good man is a good man. Religion can be all show no go.

I like your picture, but what the elf is a "meme"?

...Louis- Nice train set. Is it a present or for around the tree?...

Curt the train set is a gift for me, from me :) I have lumber to build a little N scale layout, I forget how long I have had it now. One of these day I am going to put it together to run the $400 or $500 worth of stuff I have bought for it.

I hope Everybody is enjoying Thanksgiving Eve!

Hey Phil!!! God bless you my friend!

Here is something I taught my kids when they were little, my oldest daughter repeated it to her kindergarten teacher.

See Dick drink
See Dick drive
See Dick die
Don't be a Dick
Don't drink and drive.
 
You Might Be a Redneck This Thanksgiving If...

... you've ever had Thanksgiving dinner on a ping-pong table.

... Thanksgiving dinner is squirrel and dumplings.

... you've ever reused a paper plate.

... if you have a complete set of salad bowls and they all say Cool Whip on the side.

... if you've ever used your ironing board as a buffet table.

... your turkey platter is an old hubcap.

... your best dishes have Dixie printed on them.

... your stuffing's secret ingredient comes from the bait shop.

... your only condiment on the dining room table is ketchup.

... side dishes include beef jerky and Moon Pies.

... you have to go outside to get something out of the 'fridge.

... the directions to your house include "turn off the paved road."

... you consider pork and beans to be a gourmet food.

... you have an Elvis Jell-o mold.

... your secret family recipe is illegal.

... you serve Vienna sausage as an appetizer.
 


Thank you Terry, now my follow up question professor; how did they come up with that term?

Garry that is funny!!! :)
