He said it was all about the way i drank my scotch. He stated simply6 and succinctly that I should always drink Scotch neat because what I was suffering from was the result of bad ice. Not overindulgence, not alcohol poisoning; nothing but bad ice.
Well I just found out from my other train buddy Ira that Charlie has passed away and he is by now sitting on a dry cloud somewhere with a neat Scotch in his hand toasting memories. If you would all indulge me just a tad, this evening about nightfall could you please face Hilton NY and send a salute to a real great modeler and lifelong friend. A fine educator, a terrific model figure and great volunteer firefighter. Goodbye Charlie.

Just gave your buddy Charlie a toast, Dennis. And one for you for being such a good friend to him. You gave him a nice tribute here.

Well Garry took a turn for the worse last week and we spent a lot of time with him and his wife Pat. The Lord took him home last Friday and Barb and I along with his family and many many friends have a huge hole in our hearts now. Believe me when I say that heaven got a good good man! His funeral is tomorrow and it's going to be difficult to watch one of my closest friends of 30+ years be laid to rest. They too were rainbow riders and I always had hopes of recruiting he and Pat when he got well because you would have loved them as much as we did.
Please pray for the family as they try to move forward. They are strong in their faith, strong in each other but will need lots of love after tomorrow. As always, I'm thankful for our mutant family and your unwavering support. I will be back soon!

On another note!
Arkansas translation!
Sister-in-law called "hey Tim I bought a new tractor, can you come by and give me some pointers on how to run it?"
Arkansas translation is "will you come clean out my barn?"

Dang, Dwayne! I'll adopt both of you if that's the sort of Mom's Day gifts you give. Lookin' mighty fine! Shara is one lucky mom -- and she isn't even your mom.
