Now this CSX building in J-ville is interesting. DW was purchasing agent of a chemical plant in Ft. Wright/Latonia KY and had to get tanker cars delivered in a timely manner. The plant service line is CSX. Since CSX, as all RR's, runs on RR time in a parallel universe to everyone else, she was often on the line with the J-ville office to assure timely deliveries. Said that many of the guys she talked with were from NKy & Cincy as they used to have offices there before consolidating to J-ville. I'll send her the picture.

I hate to throw a wet blanket on the fire........the Director has spent 47 yrs and 15 days trying to get me to be serious or responsible........in my humble estimation she has been a horrible disaster at her task.....so I'm guessing we need to go somewhere and get lunch........someone brought this up last year.......we need some one to........be the organizer..........
@UK82 is good at picking spots. Either side of town is fine with me.
Played golf today for the first time in almost 2 months. Feels like I might be a little sore tomorrow. Back to work in the shop tomorrow regardless of how I feel. Might play again on Friday.
Gators on Saturday Keep rollin!
Pizza day? I'm good with that.
Just thought of something scary, Toppin hasn't got a brother named Jeffery does he? Oh wait he spells his name Toobin, never mind in a Roseanna, Roseanna, Danna voice!!!!
CSX was the result of many mergers. I started out on the L&N in 1968, then we bought a bunch of small lines as the federal government let us. In 1976 the L&N merged with the ACL, SAL, A&WP et.al. and we were called it the "Family Lines". Then in 1985 we merged with the B&O/C&O and became CSX. After that we bought half of ConRail in 1999.
Folks that work for CSX are from all over. Plus in my department the railroad really loved good schools. My co-workers graduated from Chicago, Harvard, Yale, Vandy, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, Trancy . . . . you name it. The bigger the school the more weight it carried. That is why I was always under the gun. My last two bosses were Harvard.
That one is brand spanking clean.
I'm sitting here eating pizza. @Bert Higginbotha I shot a 75 today buddy! Don't get too excited though, all the tees are moved up for the winter.
I heard in the post-game last night that Toppin was testing his ankle to see if he could go back to the game. Based on that, I would think he would be good to go for Saturday. I hope he is.

Pizza day!! That's always a good suggestion for a lunch.
Upset night. Houston, Texas Tech, Ohio State and Xavier go down.

I didn't get to watch any ball tonight. Kentucky takes care of business Saturday and we should pass Houston. Still don't get why the computers rank them so high.
Good morning, D-League!
My computer rig for work appears to be dying on me. Less than 10M old. Most expensive paper weight I've bought so far.
Hope y'all have a great day!

Good morning from ATX. Currently 42°F and clear. Today's high expected at around 75°F.
Believe it or not, I might mow grass today. Due to all the ice and rain we received over the past couple weeks, our grass has grown to roughly 8 inches high in places. Might check into mowing after work.
City Recycle could not pick up last week because of ice. Bin nearly overflows with plastic. Hope they pickup today. Modern problems, right?
Lots of college basketball upsets last night. Go Cats!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning all,
Look forward to a normal work day today. (Yeah right.) Too many have their hands and attentions where they do not belong.
I sure wouldn't mind trying some of that Cream Cheese Brownie...
I will settle for coffee and my Apple (And anything else I can find that may be edible this morning.)
Have a great day.

I have this guy in his mid sixties who works for me. A month or so ago he had a zipper accident after taking a leak. After a couple of days, sores started festering. He's been to the doctor several times. Once they put him in the hospital to drain the sores. 2 days ago he said they were talking about putting him in the hospital to do surgery. Says the burning is almost unbearable. He has other health issues and doesn't take very good care of himself, so I'm not saying it was caused by getting the vax, but I have heard of his situation being a side effect. Just makes me wonder.
Morning D-League. Well I told you all inaccurate statements. Number one I said it was cloudy yesterday, when within an hour it was sunny. I told you my two bosses were Harvard, will the truth is it was the last two. In 32 years I had more than two bosses.
It is 35.8°F here and at the moment it is bright sun and no clouds and we are supposed to warm to 53°.
Austin mow your yard and let me enjoy not having to mow mine. That all begins next month; however, I do enjoy mowing.

Had not heard of that as a side effect.... dang
Good morning! Drinking coffee and listening to the Jones Show. I've already been out to the workshop and fired up a kerosene heater. I'll be doing some painting out there later today. There will be beer.
Good morning folks Hope all is well.
Possible good omen to share with my Bengals fans brethren on here.
My wife's college roommate at Maryland eventually ended up as a VP in the hospitality business after a journo career. That means every so often she and my wife spend a long "girls" weekend together at a resort hotel her friend can get room access to. (I'm never invited.)
The last time they did this in Vegas was the weekend that ended with the 2012 NCAA Championship game. My wife and her friend made a middlin' bet on Kentucky and they called me all giddy when the Cats covered.
So, they are off on a similar trip this weekend, and will get a wager down on the Bengals. I hope the outcome is the same - a tipsy, joyful call from a casino floor after cashing a winning ticket.

He just called me. They put him back in the hospital. He said " if worst case scenario-cut it off".
I just jumped into this thread.......I am not really prepared for confession day but.......I stole an eraser from my friend Mark in the first grade.....I never got caught and never returned it.........I am sorry now but wasn't then.........l wanted that damn eraser....
That is enough to make me want to go to elastic waist band pants.......... ..........I did it one time.......I was a kid.........left a lasting impression....... I am starting to develop a phobia over zippers......
@cordmaker
I think awf is in Newburgh, Louisville, not the Newburgh just outside of Evansville that you're thinkg of.
I thought the same thing, then did a little research on Google maps.
Not that it matters...
Geez, awf lives where he thinks he is killing moles and ground squirrels when in reality... he is killing... (The burrowers from Lewisville trying to escape...)
Oh Gophers...

Finally came to the house to get something to eat and grab some beer. I've got 36 red tee markers ready for the red paint. That is the last evolution for that group.
Probably gonna play golf tomorrow if it doesn't rain.
Heard on the Jones Show that we have moved up to a one seed for the moment. Think he said Arizona would be our 2 seed. I would rather be the best 2 seed rather than the lowest 1.

Trust me on this one folks.......it matters.......I thought something was amiss.......
I am simple-minded. Just humor me. You have 36 red tee markers ready for red paint. I guess they need to be redder. 😁
They are the red tee markers I made last year. The wood was not cured when I made them and as they outgassed, the paint bubbled up on the ends. I had to sand them down smooth and reapply red paint.
I just got done. 2 coats because I didn't like the way they looked with 1.
5 of the red ones were missing. I found out from dude that runs the golf course that the kids mowing would use the deck of the mower to move them out of the way so they wouldn't have to get off the mower to do it. Little bastards. Good thing they came along this late or we would all be speaking German or Japanese.
They mowed several of them into splinters because they were on the phone while mowing.
Michigan up by 9 on Purdue at the half. So, you're saying there's a chance...
Seven games left to play. Too much wiggle room for seedings. Gonzaga most likely will be the #1 overall seed just looking at schedules.
I just went out to the shop to see if the paint had dried and to turn the heater down, when I came back Michigan up by 17. Hope they hold on.
duke U will be near the top three now, at least top 5. They won this evening. You know being currently at 7 they must escalate. I mean, come on...they drubbed Clemson by 18.
Wow! 82-58! Another court storm. How many will die this time?
Michigan should be ashamed. They are better than that. Geez... (They've been cooped up too long.) My Brother and Sister (In law) live real close to Ann Arbor, hope they came out okay.
Heck my sister lives near Trenton, she may have had her door kicked.
edit: Taxes are STUPID this year!!!
Murray St. won again tonight. They are sitting at 23 and should move up.
23-2. UL must hate being the 4th, maybe 5th best team in the state. Freefalling.
