Strongarming the reverser and throttle of a fire and smoke belching Berk ain't a job for a teetoler. If you weren't drinkin' before you had the job, it'll drive you to it. Berk drivers count rivets during boiler explosions... "Aww, one hit me in the eye, now I have to start all over".

San,LMAO!!! :lol:
Tramp, I need to get up with Gary about the Virginian traction tires that hav'nt made it as of yet. I'll inquire about the Berk as well.
Gee. I hope it rains today. I think the Keystone State needs a groundhog in a canoe for a state logo. :wink:

Yup, we got us a rebel hobo in yankee land. Gonna try and grab a freight car south and raise a brew to brotherhood, this week or next.

Yeah, g*d-d*mned groundhogs. I finally bought me a varmint rifle, just 3 days ago, the same one I borrowed late last summer. The fields were grown by then, and I only got one shot off, but I dropped that SOB slick as Daisy dropping the 8-ball in the corner pocket with Tramp's mouth hanging agape.

And all this time I thought of was some type of affliction. :shock: The things you learn.
Tramp, I just got off the horn with Gary and he asked if you would call him. The Berk is ready to go home. :D :D
This admin-type school is killing me. :evil: I admit I've never been much of a paper-pusher. Gone are the days of stacking cannon balls and keeping the powder dry. The food sure has'nt changed any, though!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Practice head shots, Petey. Last time I winged one of the rabbits that has been eating our lawn to the nubs, the SOB dragged himself all the way to the front walkway of the neighborhood PETA advocates where he bleated(?) until bleeding to death. Damn awkward situation.

If you nail them, toss the carcass on your property boundary to ward off the rest of them.

Don't quite know where you're at, Jon, but I hope you can sample some Western Pa. beer there. Ya gotta try Iron City, and definitely Rolling Rock. Bottoms up. (Oh yeah, maybe even a Straub.)

Howdy, fellers. Been a while - workin' hard, not the life of a 'bo at the moment. Too many dragstrips, not enough time. Need some railroad time...and a couple of cold beers wouldn't hurt, either...

I'm here until the 27th. My problem is that I have no form of transportation!!! Unless I "borrow" a tank. :lol: :lol: It would be great to meet you, Pete, and the Redhead!! There's a tavern about two miles down the road, nothing fancy, but I've drank in worse.(no problem for a stepper like me) We could meet on Saturday afternoon, I've been told there's a couple of pool tables, some decent Pennsy grub, I'll get the info tomorrow if we can set it up!!! Are you in?:D :wink:

That sounds good Jon.............. 8) I'm into it. I can't make till late Sat afternoon. I have a steam school class to attend. Tryin' to git my steam license. I'll try to find out how long the class is. Let me know what's shakin'.

Saturday sounds OK to me too. I'm supposed to be working 3-11, but I think I'm coming down (*a-CHOO*) with the avian flu, (probably from playing with the Redhead's pet bird :wink: ). The only fly in the ointment will be exactly when, as the Red works 7-3, and I have to figure out arrangements for the kids, and to see if she can tag along. Late afternoon is probably going to be the earliest for me too.
Too bad we can't meet at the Kast Hotel, http://www.modeltrainjournal.com/phpBB2 ... 5&start=15 , but that would be a bit of a march for Jon. :D

Now, all I have to do is hope that, all these months, penncentral8885 hasn't really been my boss in disguise!
