Good Morning,

Didn't sleep well last night. Today I have chores then hopefully some layout time. Back out to Dad's tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Morning Curt and others,

I didn't sleep worth a damp either. Old age sure is fun.

Have a great day ya'll.

Tom  ;D

Morning,

Tossing and turning all night seems to be a trend here to.

I agree;

We are up in Toledo to visit family this week. Trouble sleeping has been an issue, looking forward to going home.

Morning all,

Slept 9 hours here.  I'm finding I'm sleeping up to 1 1/2 hours late after long work days over the last year.  Must be from getting older...

Good morning.


Good to know I'm not the only one that slept poorly last night.  It was the full moon, any correlation?


Everyone have a great day (and a nap?)!

Good morning.  It sounds like we all need a nap, today.  Maybe we can attend Bob's PI class with him.  Bob what does PI stand for? I know there are a 1000 different classes that I was required to take during my working days with different titles that all were supposed to make me more efficient - the only thing I learned in all of them was that I had to work harder to make up for the lost time from the class. The other thing that they seemed to have in common was that the teacher had never done anything or managed anything but seemed to think that his class was the key to doing it. S**t, I'm having a flash back - time to go work on my trains.  I hope everyone has a great day. From the F&SM:

Morning. Seeing where everyone is talking about sleep today, I dropped a small fortune on an adjustable bed yesterday. I wanted to buy one before the surgery and never had a chance. Post surgery has told me enough is enough

Morning all.

Strangely, last night was one of the best nights sleep I've had in a long time. You must've all sacrificed on my behalf...

Reading this thread to date has made me sleepy.
Slept so well last night, my neighbors firing up HER hemi truck at 7:40 AM didn't wake us. That's her usual departure time and you can set a watch by it.
Enjoy your snoozes later today.

Happy Anniversary Tom and Spouse. Sleep is tending to be earatic these days. "It's a beautiful day...." As Fi Cavaleri and The Rascals sang. Fi and I were in Pelham High School together as well belonging to a garage band. He went on to graduate from that music school I can't remember in NYC.  Jim

Happy Anniversary Tommy!  :D

John - PI stands for Program Increment and PI Planning is one of the SAFE/Agile "ceremonies".  We spend the better part of three days in meetings planning our work for the next twelve weeks (broken down in two week increments).  It's mind numbing, boring and a giant pain the derriere.  On top of that once we finish and get a plan that's approved it's a sure bet that something high priority will crop up within a week or two that throws the plan into disarray.   >:(

The worst case of 'mandatory training' I saw was in a major defense/aircraft company that has been in the news lately.  About 15 years ago, they had major ethical problems at the senior executive level, CEO was fired-for-cause, and a VP was sent to prison.  As a result, all the minions had to take "corporate ethics training."  But they had to do that on their Own Time, the company provided no charge number for the hour it took to listen to the dumb-assed video.

I have near total distain for "Agile"...

Happy Anniversary Tommy and Mrs.


Thank you for the explanation Bob.  We are very agile here on the S&S RR - change the plan almost every day.  ;)

And John your Agility shows through with a beautiful layout and the approach you have for incorporating your beautiful structures into the S&S.   Keep up the great work.


Have a good evening all, and sure hope Bob was able to stay awake for the entire PI session.  1 day down Bob and two to go!
Cheers,
--Paul
