Re. dishes in the oven – buy a dishwasher. It’s a great place to hide dirty dishes. Oh, and guess what! It’ll even clean ‘em for you (but you have to turn it on).

True, you don’t want them eating over the layout. Cookie crumbs play havoc with locomotive gears. So you make bibs that extend in front to catch the crumbs. Or make them step bake from the layout and eat real fast. That way you don’t have to provide a lounge.

Looks like all had a good time, even Derwin and Jim. When Scott starts providing supplies for his crew that I did himself and did not contracted out to others. the WRS may also. It is strange when the WRS started, Timbits where there for the Crews, but no one was eating them, so it stopped since I was not allowed to have more then one or two of them... later Doug <strong><em>Ummm.... lets see if I can translate the second paragraph (always fun when Doug's brain is not in direct communication with his fingers). When I start providing food for my crew that I made myself - not contracted it out to BS&T catering (aka Kim) - then Doug may do it too. Well, I hate to break it to you, Doug, but I have made cookies a few times for the guys. Funny though, after they'd eaten them and said they were good they spit them out when I told them I made them. Strange. So all you need to do, Doug, is buy some Pillsbury cookie dough and shove it in the oven shortly before operating. There will be the smell of fresh baked cookies through the house and you crew will think you slaved over a hot stove all day! Oh yes, throw some flour on your face just before serving them for the full effect. HA! Scott First, Scott thanks for the report. Looks like all had a good time, even Derwin and Jim.

Sounds like everyone had a fun time. That poor Derwin fella - he sure gets picked on!!Trains were also rolling this weekend on Dougs WRS as well...no cookies though. Doug are you listening HA HA. <strong><em>"Poor Derwin fella"! You have met him, haven't you? He brings it all on himself. No cookies at Doug's! How is he going to maintain employees if he doesn't provide compensation equal to, or better than, his competitors in the region. His employees will start quitting and moving to greener pastures, like PEI where we compensate mrr employees with cookies, cake, chips, and pop! Doug, you had better change your ways or you will be moving all that freight yourself! HA! Later Wayne! Scott Great report Scott. Sounds like everyone had a fun time.
