I hope that we really can talk about anything here. Any Vets ( animal Dr.) here?
I have a Shepard-Akita -Chow mix dog. he is about 15 years old & weighs just over 30 Lbs.
Tank is in pretty good health except for artharitous (sp?) I was recently advised that Ibuprofen would give him a lot of pain relief & enable him to move much better. I gave him one 500MG dose a couple of days ago & it really did work wonders for him. He was like ten years were gone from his age. the results are still evident today. My question is, can I give him an Ibuprofen every 2-3 days without any problems coming from it?

Small Day Trip to Centralia |

A little history lesson for anyone who doesn't know about this little borough: (borrowed from the Wiki)
Centralia was incorporated as a borough in 1866.
In 2002, the United States Postal Service revoked Centralia's ZIP Code, 17927.
Centralia is a borough in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its population has dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 12 in 2005[1] and 9 in 2007,[2] as a result of a mine fire burning beneath the borough since 1962. Centralia is now the least-populous municipality in Pennsylvania
The anthracite coal industry was the principal employer in the community. Coal mining continued in Centralia until the 1960s, when most of the companies went out of business.
The borough was served by two railroads, the Philadelphia and Reading and the Lehigh Valley, with the Lehigh Valley being the principal carrier. Rail service ended in 1966.
More info here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania</a><!-- m --> and the town it claimed <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byrnesville,_Pennsylvania">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byrnesville,_Pennsylvania</a><!-- m -->

A bridge to fit my needs |

I am trying to 'fit' a bridge into an area where two tracks will cross each other. One track will pass under the other at an angle of about 30 dgrees (give ot take). Now, I have been looking for an appropriate bridge to carry the upper track. I have found many nice bridges in the Walthers book but not one of them is designed as an offset structure. Every single one of them is 'square' at the ends. I would like a single track through truss bridge, about 18 - 20" long, which sits on the abuttments at an angle. Does anyone out there know of a bridge like this? I may have to kit bash one if I can't find something already designed this way. The other option would be to pass under through tunnel. This may not sound prototypical but I know of several spots east of Pittsburgh, PA, where the PRR did exactly that. Instead of a bridge and it's maintance problems they just built a stone arch or concrete tunnel for the track and filled in above it for the main line to cross 10 feet above. This will work, but I like bridges. If any one has any ideas I would love to hear 'em!
Thanks, and sdtay warm!

While nosing around I found this link to a list of just about every ARR reporting mark there is. It contains links for info for most of the railroads listed.

Apparently these are the NRE Genset, but hopefully, they start making Railpower Gensets too.
