Bart, I've backed off, since I got sick.... Just a regular plain ole haystack now..... :)
He gets cold now, also. Its the strangest thing.
He's still grumpy though.....;)
Ken, It's my ""trademark"".... I even have it pattented.... :)

Now if I win a lottery…!!

Once again I will be looking forward to conducting trains for Engineer Noah Bible… well, on 2nd thought - I won’t have a choice! I will be under forced hard labor switching and coupling duties at least 'til I get FIRED! Then I can join the kichen crew for a lil R&R over…

We are now 6 weeks and counting. Plans are coming together for a great weekend of fun. Trains, food and friendship with some Fall weather and a few pictures. You’re all welcome.

Hopefully the Bartman will be able to perform his Hospitality and navigation duties once again.

It looks like I will be there for the Saturday session only. Have to be back home Sunday morning
to go to work. I’m going to spend Friday with Larry Harget. He is the gentleman who started Ozark
Miniatures years ago.

Yea, I was gonna call ya and find out what the story was. Oh, well, maybe next year.

Thanx, I will be stopping by on my way out…:wink:

Well dang and you were also going to get a promotion here, but I guess that one pays better.

The “Wednesday Gathering” is going to meet at the Kaskaskia Valley Railway to work on car location and track ballasting. Let us know if you’d like to join us.

This Wednesday, October 12th, will be the “Wednesday Gathering” of the Gateway Garden Railroad Club. These are work sessions at a club member’s home to work on a project or whatever. We meet from 10 am to 1 pm and then head for a local eatery for fun and food. The GGRRC is well established as “an Eating Club with a Railroad Problem”. You don’t have to be a club member to join us.

Any pictures from the labor camp last Wednesday?
