Come on back to the caboose and get a cup of coffee [or sweet ice tea] Part I

Afternoon all,

Another beautiful day here, although temps are headed for high 80's, maybe even 90. We need some rain here pretty seriously. Gas had gone down a bit, but not as much as what I am hearing up north.

Watching the Cowboys and Giants. Should be a good game today.

Have a great day all!

Greenhouse cleaned and Cloroxed. Ant granuals put down and hosed in. Those little rascals take over a greenhouse in the winter. Exhaust fan motor oiled and heaters ready. Ready for winter. :thumb: Now some chow and go run trains.

Big day today. Going to court this afternoon. Finaly may wrap up a charges on a hunting accident 3 years ago.
Friday I go back to UVa for minor out patient surgery. The are removing a stint that wouldn't remove it's self.

I thought I might go back bed sleep in and get a little rest after I got up this morning. Not to be, a street crew is paving the street and repalceing the drain pipes, I was lucky I didnt have to park my car down the road and walk out. I will Tuesday if I want to go anywahere.

This one of those weeks you dont know wether to or to :cry: .

God has been goos to me so far.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE !

Just got home from working on the snow blower I didn't work on on Sat. Soaking the carb now to see if it will run tomorrow after work. Sat for years, gummed up, I think. Wonder how things are on the Hill !! Blueberry Hill That Is !!

Did I tell you guys I talked to Gill on the phone the other day? Had a good time talking to him !

Sure hope things go OK for him. TOM shouldn't have eaten all that cake ! He should have saved some for ME !!

And CHUCK !

Hope y'all like my greeting up there at the top ! Takes me a while ! All have a nice evening !

When you get the snow cone machine fixed, see if you can do the same on my motor scooter.

 

[spankybird]

John, there is plenty of cake left over. Stop by and get some. Your getting pertty good with the colors and size thing.

Gil - good luck in court. Remeber the only good lawer is a dead lawer. (And one of my good freinds, also an O gauge train collector is a lawer).

Chuck, did you notice Spanky in the background running the trains.

Funny you say that.

That is what I went to court over. I shot a guy hunting and as luck would have it, he WAS a lawyer.

I could have not been sited at all but t shot him 4 times.
I mean it was horrorble, I mean iIfelt realy bad about it...I still go to counciling.

Anyway, today the jugde ask me why I shot him and I replied I thought he was a deer.What else could I say.

Then he ask why I continued to shoot when he kept saying he wasn't a deer.He was yelling and swearing like a sailor. Man it was terrible.

Well I had to think a minute on that one but then I said ,hell, he is a lawyer aint he? Man, my attorney looked like he just went into labor, he about $*&^ himself.

The judge alowed as how he was but said that was no reason to shoot him 4 times and quick as a wink I replied, yes., perhaps ..but you know what liers them lawers are.

That judge just sat there and looked at me. I thought for sure he was gonna cite me for contempt or worse. It was the longest minute of my life.

Thanks for the invite Tom ! Yeah, I like playing with those colors & letters now ! Chuck showed me how !

Gill, I used to work on Cushman Motor scooters & Whizzer motor bikes when I worked at a bike shop in high school. I'm also a Schwinn factory trained bicycle mechanic ! Had my own bike & hobby shop once too, till 1st wife wanted a split. What kind is it you have ? Wish I still had one ! Later, John
