I was too. And I also corrected Y@ when he incorrectly used “fiancé” for his fiancée.
I assume you know who you are talking about. I wouldn't have made the correction because I wouldn't assume a poster was male (could be a woman talking about marrying her boyfriend) or gay (could be a man talking about marrying his boyfriend). Yes, I have undergone diversity training. :)
I can assure you that J T indeed knows who tsinoms is and who he is talking about. Move along. Nothing to see here.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.

I'm glad I seen this. I've been wanting to make a trip to Durand again. June 4th is one of my days off so I'm sure I can make a stop there. Would be nice to meet some of you from the forum.

Weather Permitting. Me and the wife will stop by for a while. Will be bringing some old Track Charts for the GTW (cira 1920 to 1940) and CN (2002 to 2003 Maintenance Program book) if any one wants to take a look. Also have an Extra copy of Model Railroader Industries along the track 2 which i'll let go for $10 bucks if any one wants it.

As always, Still looking for some track charts for MI, Mostly MC or NYC.

See you all there.

If anyone needs a ride to Durand from Southern Oakland County (Bloomfield Hills, Southfield, West Bloomfield, etc) or anywhere between there and Durand, private message me, I have room for 3.

I didn't realize June 4 was a Sunday until after I made a morning commitment, so I'll probably make it just in time for the afternoon lull. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again though.

I plan to attend from around 12:00 until 5 in the afternoon or so, depending on some plans I have later in the evening. I also plan to begin cutting watermelons as soon as G804 passes. I am wearing the yellow Spongebob shirt, feel free to introduce yourselves!

I'm here just so all care. I'm in a white shirt and blue hat. Currently I'm down by the antenna.

Noticed the group photo was posted on Facebook... It was a good time. It's always nice to people watch and listen to people discuss how much they know about everything. Looking forward to next year.

I can't believe I missed the photo. I got tied up in all the talking I was doing and didn't realize the photo was being taken.
