Well, Besides the 403's I get this site is getting awfully glitchy with my phone.  Perhaps a software compatibility issue caused by updates, I don't know.

Besides the occasional thread that's deleted I come to the site and can't find a thread I darn well know has to still be there.  Switching to a different mode and coming back to the site, there it is again.

Lately my screen flutters and shifts to different frames when I'm trying to post making it awfully hard to do.  When switching tabs to retrieve a picture, frequently everything in the prior tab flashes and disappears into Oblivion.

I don't know, but it's getting rather difficult lately.

 

P.S.  Cherry pie looks good.  The only Jam Judy buys is Smuckers Cherry preserves as I have something to do with that.

I like the thought of a stockyards themed April.  My layout will feature a Santa Fe branch that was built to haul livestock from rural Texas to Ft. Worth.  I have close to 30 Intermountain stock cars ready to go.

Lion:  Cherry pie is the best.

Good morning.  Bacon, eggs, and black coffee, please.

I had to walk in the field house this morning.  Like David's area, last night, it rained, then snowed.  The result was a lot of ice, so I decided not to try the trail this morning.  The sun is out, and the ice is beginning to melt.  I think the snow will all be gone by afternoon.

 

Goodbye to Florida!  I love the state and will miss it.

LION has no difugulities... ergo nothing to sea here!

Problem is that site is old and uses old teknowlegies that modern systems no longer support.

 Yeah, I have modernest system a round. go figger.

TF, I also haven't had any issues with logging in, posting, photos, etc.

However, I'm not using a phone like you.  I use a laptop.

At least once a week, I use the Windows tool Disc Cleanup and System Cleanup.  It only takes a few seconds, and I think that doing that helps avoid some issues on a computer.   It clears everything out.  Of course, if you saved passwords in Windows, they are also gone.

I don't use Windows to save passwords.  I have a password program that I only need to remember one password, and then it provides passwords for any site I go to.  I love it.

Good luck with your phone issues.  I'm sure Lion is on the right track since he's up on all the computer systems.

This is great!

We got one Florida post from a person who lives in Florida before the diner moves.

I'm happy this has all straightened out.

LION does not pay taxes. LION does not get paid.

But LION just read that youse other guys such as need to pay the IRS mone than one hundred million dollars must use more than one check.

IRS will not accep a check for or over 100,000,000.00. So you will have to use two or more checks if you fall in this tax bracket.

BTW.... I saw a guy reading on the steps of the New York Public Library...

He was reading between the lions.

Oh, great!  Now I have to write eight checks instead of one.  Each check costs 29¢.  Now I'm really wasting my money.

Who can I talk to about this?

I just paid the IRS using Bitcoin. So far so good, I haven't heard any complaints from them in two weeks!  Whistling

The Diner is on the move...

This forum has had several notices on the death of editor Jim Wrinn.

This was emailed out to members of the UP Steam Club.  It was nice of UP Steam Club to notify their membership:

Would it be appropriate to add Jim Wrinn to the RIP track?

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
