Good evening every one.

Quiting smoking isn't going well since I haven't actually quit yet. I have cut down considerably though and I will get there. Just not a priority with other things in life to deal with right now.


Carole is doing extremely well and the surgery has already relieved the pain and numbness in her hip and leg. Her last back surgery took nine months to really work, so this is great and very unexpected. She might be able to come home tomorrow. That seems too quick and I'm hoping for Friday.

My car started right up this morning. Of course it's 70° in my garage. :-)

Good evening everyone!

Glad to hear Carole is doing so well Jim!


Well a bad afternoon here in town today. I still have not heard who the person was.

Those pups of yours sure are growing quickly. How old are they now?

Did your "boarder" have to call a tow truck?

Thanks.

My son's girlfriend goes to school in Morris. I sure hope it wasn't her.

Thanks.

They are about 4 1/2 months old now. They both weigh 25 pounds. I am hoping they both stop before 70. My last lab was huge at 90-95 pounds. It caused her some problems. Spaying time for both of them next month.

Yup. He was in the median on 169 right by the Rennaisance Festival. No way would I mess around there to save him $100. I gave him the money for a tow and told him Merry Christmas. Karma got him though, he waited in the cold for over two hours for the tow truck.

The only thing she's allowed to do for 3 months is exist. It will be worth it in the end though.

Good morning everyone.

Baby is due Jan 20 Chris.

That is really a bad looking accident Troy. Looks like the train stopped pretty quickly. Do they not go through Morris very fast? Vehicle looks like maybe a Dodge Dakota?

Good morning all.

Not good on the train crash Troy.

Good news Jim about Carole and slowing down on smoking.

How did you get Dodge Dakota out of that mangled mess Lee?

Good morning Lee! The trains usually go through town around 40 I believe but if there was another train coming south then they usually slow down. I know when it finally moved there was another train waiting to come through town headed south. If it would have hit it at 40 that car would have been about a half a block away before it landed I think. Hard to tell what it is but I was thinking midsized to smaller suv myself but so hard to tell. I may wander out to impound at junkyard later on and take a look if that is where they took it.

Morning guys.

I think Lee's right. The rim style is pretty unique.
