[AKKevinT]

Add Fairbanks Alaska to the roll call where it is a balmy 15°f right now going all the way up to 24°!

A fight over water rights in the west. Sounds like the makings of a western movie.

As I recall the brewery made Olympia beer, and possibly Hamms?

The Zags did well, but my hats off to UCLA. They never gave up, and at the buzzer had the most points.

If so inclined, drop me a line.

Rod.

Rod,

The old brewery is right off of I-5 here in Tumwater. Unfortunately, the brewery is no longer in business (in fact it is just sitting there). The local cities are all trying to condemn the land so they can get the water rights to support the population growth.

Your Zags had a great year!

Hi Todd, your not alone, I’m sitting here in Greenacres, WA.

I was in Tumwater once. I paid a visit to a brewery there. I think it was in Tumwater. I know it was a brewery! Now I can’t remember for sure, but it must have been a good visit!

Yes, I think I am the only one in Idaho.. Had a guy last year from Twin Falls ??? but he lost interest or froze to death. There is a club in Lewiston Idaho, surprised we dont have some of those guys check in.
Holy smokes I just remembered we only have 25 people in this beautiful state. 23 have relocated here from California, I came from Texass, so that only leaves one native and he does'nt have any trains. Oh well , could always be worse, we could live on the other coast....Tim

I'm out here in sunny southern California in Foothill Ranch, about 50 miles south of Los Angeles and 80 miles north of downtown San Diego.

I'll throw my hat into the left coast ring - Sacramento, CA area. The land of sunshine and babes and rotary snowplows. [8D]

Hello all from snowy Mount Shasta. It's a freezin' mofo up here today. Lionel TMCC ... what a gas!

[tadowler]

Don't forget me - I live in Tumwater, WA which is right next to Olympia.

I can't believe that I am the only person from Washington on this site.

Also, where are the Beavers[?]

[wrmcclellan]

Hmmm LAZ - what's worse? Frozen GRITS or frozen snowballs???

[1688torpedo]

Down south they use Grits on their backroads to help keep the dust down in the Summertime[;)][:P]...Take Care.

[laz 57]

NO ROY I put my snowballs in the freezer, save em for the summer.

[wrmcclellan]

Snow balls vs grits - guess which side gets to keep throwing them in warm weather [:D]

[dbaker48]

Ray... [#welcome] [#welcome] to the forum. Don't worry about "learning" how to use it. You are already in the advanced class, you have a message posted !

The threads (subjects/topics) on the first few pages are very interesting to monitor, and are quite informative. (Their is some real talent and good advice here too.) Someone has a question or issue, and their is always another person which has experience or expertise in the area. Of course your own judgement must prevail.

Then their is the "coffee pot" that is pretty much a laid back emailing type page. There is a lot of weather reporting going on, and pretty much just a bunch of guys, talking guy stuff, and having a good time.

You do have to watch out for the Yanks and Rebs though. They are continually throwing snow balls and grits at one another, and a WHOLE LOTTA .... BS...... But you work with watch you got, I guess.

Needless to say, of the various sectional areas of this great nation, it is obvious that we are the most fortunate. You will also notice that the responses submitted from those of us on the Left Coast (extended to include all of the Pacific Time Zone), usually submit the most concise, easy to read, and meaningful messages. So welcome aboard, and looking forward to hearing more from you.

I'm here, I think! Still trying to learn how to navigate this forum. I have been a subscriber to Classic Toy Trains Magazine since the premier issue but have not tried to use the forum much. Ray

Jimbo, I will have to contemplate some Executive Orders to pass down to you underlings.. Meanwhile ,back to my lofty perch.....Tim
