I'm lol over here!Rich! Whadya' do?! Bring the cold weather back with you? You coulda' left that stuff up north!
It's FREEZING outside. I have to go out in little spurts and try to get stuff doner before I lose the feeling in my finger tips. I got some stuff back together, but the thing should've been running by now. I guess tomorrow's another day. If I had an empty spot in the garage, it would've been done also. The garage was in the 60's when I went out there this morning. ...then I opened the door.

Afternoon gentlemen...somedays I love my job; others I hate it. Spending 12 hours baby sitting a couple of locomotives is not exactly what I call a highlight of my career.
Man that ain't no joke! The conductor I was working with today was in three layer of clothing...we both were in just t-shirts yesterday. What a difference 12 hours makes.

I know what that's like. I work inside, but when the weather gets cold and windy like this, I still need to layers to stay warm.
Stay warm tonight people - it looks like its going to be a cold one.

Take it easy there Ches. You aren't as young as you used to be. Besides that, you would have lapped me a couple of times before you were through. That's why us fat boys like our motorized toys...

Ches - my brother had a 1200 years ago. It was like driving a hot-wheels car that had been left in the dirt one too many times.

Tiff was in the mood for chocolate tonight, so I made some brownies. They were yummy. I think I'm ready for bed now!

Ches, saw this and thought of you. You said you wanted different. It doesn't get more different than this.....

Make a lever(or 2) and find a spring that'll work. That's what I'm going to do.
