Andre: Still swattin' flies, that's reached the proportions of an Olympic sport in these parts, also beats checking the pulse for signs of life. When it comes to grass, green is always good. Glad to know the ALCO's are still breathin, too. I hope you have a better opinion of those new locomotives than I did on IC

You're right, we could probably make the KC bottoms swing with two of us, one of us totally incompetent anymore. Just no RCO please, and if you ever get that motorcycle headed this way, don't go by without stopping. Don't get a whole lot of visitors in my neck of the woods. As for as selling my home, who knows what the future may bring. My wife was asking about Springfield MO, the other day, and has been mentioning friends in Branson, so we may at least be in that direction for a visit, anyway. As far as hight and mighty conductors go, the engineer on my first day of engineer training always told me, "make sure THEY go home mad at night." He was always considered to be cut from another source of sheet metal, but there was a lot of wisdom in what he said. Whether he actually saw Sutnik turning over and over as it passed over GM Yard at McCook, that's still a matter of discussion in some quarters, today. I keep thinking, that since I mentioned an S scale old time 4-4-0 on the Bachmann train forum the other day, the mailman may be leaving a package in my mailbox one of these days, but I'm not holding my breath. They got enough su-ah- customers in the scales they do manufacture to consider taking on another group of complainers. Anyway, I have considered running 0n30 as Sn42 (the measurements are about right) just to see the look on the nitpickers' faces. I guess I better quit before we get moderated. That happens frequently since you've been away.
