| 25-1 18:58:23 | DAZed | laterZ, I'm out oo |
| 25-1 18:58:20 | GNFan | Bye, Thom. |
| 25-1 18:58:17 | DAZed | thanks, yeah probably once or twice a month vs once or twice a week, something like that. |
| 25-1 18:57:57 | rvn2001 | Later guyz. |
| 25-1 18:57:26 | rvn2001 | We'll look forward to seeing you whenever you can join us, doug. |
| 25-1 18:57:24 | GNFan | Got it, Doug. Do what you need to do. |
| 25-1 18:57:17 | DAZed | of course as soon as I say that, it will work out that I can make the next few in a row or something but for the long haul (May/June) it will be less attendance for me |
| 25-1 18:57:00 | rvn2001 | I think I'm gonna go too since there isn't much going on here. Everybody enjoy the time indoors running trains! |
| 25-1 18:56:24 | DAZed | just FYI for everyone, I'll probably be scarce here for the next few months. I have to get work under control one way or another....if it's another, I'll be scrambling to find something else, and then dealing with the remodel, etc. |
| 25-1 18:55:31 | GNFan | ZU, Ellen. |
| 25-1 18:55:02 | DAZed | bye Ellen |
| 25-1 18:54:57 | rvn2001 | Have a nice nap, Ellen. |
| 25-1 18:54:40 | ejshelton | Time for me to go...enjoy the snow from inside |
| 25-1 18:46:18 | DAZed | As long as it's hourly, I'm good with that |
| 25-1 18:46:05 | DAZed | at least I can take a 2-3 week break between gigs though. |
| 25-1 18:45:55 | rvn2001 | ...the deadline has been moved up a month and I need it done by then... |
| 25-1 18:45:13 | rvn2001 | That can be even worse, Doug........ |
| 25-1 18:44:45 | DAZed | I think now that my wife has a job with decent insurance, I'll probably just do contract work for a while. |
| 25-1 18:44:08 | rvn2001 | That's the problem with a lot of white-collar jobs now....they expect you to be available 24 hours a day....thanks to cell phones. |
| 25-1 18:42:34 | DAZed | Thom good point, maybe I should try working for the railroad. Harsh conditions, but when you clock out, you are clocked out. |
| 25-1 18:41:44 | rvn2001 | My time was limited by law as to how many hours I could work straight through as a security officer...2 shifts, 16 hours. |
| 25-1 18:41:42 | DAZed | *lives |
| 25-1 18:41:37 | DAZed | with my buddy that live in Crystal Lake, IL |
| 25-1 18:41:14 | DAZed | I had planned a trip to Trainfest and they cancelled Trainfest |
| 25-1 18:40:04 | DAZed | I need to find a job that is simply ok with you working your tail off and going home. This 24/7 "work is life" concept is not working for me anymore. Only problem is, it's everywhere. |
| 25-1 18:39:11 | rvn2001 | We've been to Trainfest more than once. |
| 25-1 18:37:59 | DAZed | my life stability since Covid has just been so off-kilter that I can't reasonably plan something like that |
| 25-1 18:37:50 | rvn2001 | I wouldn't mind seeing it.....once. |
| 25-1 18:37:03 | ejshelton | Mother Nature can put the whammy on any show anywhere....lol |
| 25-1 18:37:03 | DAZed | my buddy keeps trying to get me to go to that one. He goes about every third year probably. Glad we didn't pick this year. |
| 25-1 18:36:03 | rvn2001 | I've been seeing that on Facebook. |
| 25-1 18:35:45 | DAZed | Springfield/Amherst had major issues this weekend too |
| 25-1 18:34:51 | ejshelton | I just schedule them and take my chances... |
| 25-1 18:34:14 | rvn2001 | See...it can even be a problem in Texas. |
| 25-1 18:33:38 | ejshelton | Yes it did...... |
| 25-1 18:33:32 | DAZed | our local show dodged a bullet....a week later and they would have been toast |
| 25-1 18:32:59 | rvn2001 | Yup...we used to do that show. It snowed this past Thanksgiving too. |
| 25-1 18:32:11 | ejshelton | Except you used to the Thanksgiving show.....lol.... |
| 25-1 18:28:20 | rvn2001 | This weather event is a prime example of why I don't do train shows during the winter. |
| 25-1 18:26:55 | ejshelton | They may have. I know Indy closed it one year when a storm was moving. in. After I told them as I was setting up that I was going home on Saturday evening |
| 25-1 18:25:45 | rvn2001 | It may have closed too. There was also a water main break on the exit road that lead to the show. |
| 25-1 18:23:31 | ejshelton | Likely not too much. The show here today was canceled. Good thing |
| 25-1 18:22:51 | rvn2001 | I wonder how the Great Train Show in St. Charles went/is going this weekend. |
| 25-1 18:21:43 | ejshelton | Not many there besides those showing....but it was fun. |
| 25-1 18:19:57 | rvn2001 | I'm happy to hear that. |
| 25-1 18:19:14 | ejshelton | BTW. The guys and gal at the show loved the cars you painted for me.....lol |
| 25-1 18:19:03 | DAZed | going to work to change that soon |
| 25-1 18:18:52 | DAZed | and employment |
| 25-1 18:18:41 | rvn2001 |
Ah...the joys of marriage...  |
| 25-1 18:18:38 | DAZed | the "not much" part |
