After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
ns3010 Best of luck. Hope you got good teachers that don't assign homework on the weekends.
Just got off the cell phone with my mom. She needed some sort of a log in thing. Ask no questions, be told no lies right? I was screaming things into the blasted thing then was told to text her the code she needed. Now the texting on my cell ain't workin'. Worked this morning when I got to school. I was yelling so loud into my cell that my dad yelled at me to keep it down then he got on the soapbox about my mom helping this woman. Man I hate my cell phone. I'm about ready to use the thing as a wheel chock on my dad's snowmobile trailer and then pull forward. C-R-U-N-C-H. Then get a stinking CB in my Jeep. My one riding buddy has one in his lifted Blazer.

Evening all.
I see we've been contemplating where to put the diner. Upstate NY sounds great!
I'll be in the back booth trying to get ahead on some homework if anyone wants to join me.

Boy I hate to see the Dinner being moved from the Hoosier State Till the dinner got here, I had not been back to Indiana for 12 years.
Flo, something lite tonight. Have not felt good today. Guess I will have a Salad with diced Chicken Knockers and Blue Cheese dressing and a glass of water.
I am surprised by the fact I cut the front yard, dragged out a load of limbs from the backyard. Then I got the backyard cut as well.
Did play with the trains today, while resting in between cutting and dragging stuff. Been chasing my SW 8 switcher around the layout with my RSD 15. Kept creeping up on the switcher and Blasting my horn at them to speed up! Of that little switcher was not broken in before, it is now!
Hope the Dinner has GPS!

Hey guys. Can't wait to see what the Diner Special is. Got my Ipod fixed with the lock-out function. Just in time for the weekend. May have to bag some seed Saturday.
Good afternoon gents, only 0.03" of rain thus far, we put up a block in the atmosphere at interstate 91 so Ray will get all the rain in NY ( sorry Ray ) Our turn comes tomorrow Ray, fear not.
I'll have the sliced ham, home fries, carrots, salad, and green tea Cloe, thank you.
Happy to report that by sciatic nerve injury is much better, so some model RR work is underway once again. My oldest son was a huge help for 5 weeks this summer when I could barely walk, he took care of all the yard and garden work and many other projects as well.
Did anyone tell Duke about the big sales going on for Berkshire locomotives?
Ahh, supper is ready, have a great evening guys,
Afternoon from the sunny Finger Lakes........ Yeah Right! It is pouring outside at the moment. And I have to go out to a Cub Pack School Night in a couple hours.
Zoe I need a cup of hot chocolate please. I'll be sitting at the rivet counter.
Well lets see... I think this would be the best month to have the diner up in NYS. The Fall colors here will be spectacular this year and the weather is still warm enough to be out and about with only a light jacket. Here is a photo from last year out at the Boy scout Camp:
The museums are operating diesel trains every Sunday for the Fall Foliage runs. You don't want to miss out.... Besides they cleared off track 4 for us as a special favor..... Might not be so accommodating again. Georgia seems to me to be a great place to visit maybe November or December when it starts getting sn@wey outside here in the Finger Lakes. We'll need a bit less wood for the stove THAT way. I'll let you guys and Duke decide how to get her here. (Personally I do like a steamer for the move......) Besides I just ordered wine from here.
Got a bit more done on the module for the Merit Award. Photos maybe later tonight. Good day to stay inside and get some things like the wash done. We have had a little over an inch of rain today and expect another 1/2" to 1" before it clears. We have now been put under a Flood Warning for small streams.
Later!

We might be able to use Southern's 401 if Duke's not around

OK .. Where's teh dienr going this time.
North East Coast Modeler of Florida suggested Georgia. .. Sounds good, but perhaps it would be better when its cold in the north. ..
Looks like Ray is willing to host in Upsate New York at his museum. He's expected to provide a local wine list according to one recent post by Tom of Pittsburgh.
I don't know if Duke will have the Berkshire.
Meanwhile, I have a special train ready. If Duke is not available, we can add the diner to it. My special train is a surprise, and it will be posted soon. Ray, I suggest you notify the museum about this special train, too. Trust me, it's appropriate. Cameras ready?

Afternoon all. Chloe, I'll take a bacon cheeseburger and a Mountain Dew Code Red, thanks.
Well, I typed up a nice long post last night, only to find out now that I forgot to hit "Post" before closing the window! So now it's all gone!::sigh::
Longest. Day. Ever. Absolutely endless. And PSAT class eighth period was horrible. That woman does not even know what she's doing. I hate her with an endless passion.
I don't have too much homework today (shocker!), so I'll be at the RC catching up.
Good afternoon everyone. I'll just take a cheeseburger and fries with a milkshake again, Flo.
On the issue of moving the dinner, how about down closer to my neck of the woods, like to Folkston, Georgia? (Folkston is a good 3 hour drive for me)
Just a consideration.
It's another chilly and rainy day here in Pittsburgh. Got my car back from the bodyshop this morning. They did a great job and I'm really pleased with the results. Now all's right with the world once again.
Okay Ray, we will leave it up to you for the local wine list when the diner arrives. But if you could find it in your heart to get a couple of bottles of Riesling from Prejean's Winery stocked, it will be greatly appreciated. It always goes so good with anything on my plate.
I think we will drive up to the train show in Berea, Ohio this Saturday. It's been a couple of years since I've been there. It's about a 2 hour drive from here, so that's not too bad. And the weather is suppose to be nice.

Lunch time already. I'll have a bacon swiss burger on a toasted sourdough bun please with onion rings and a RBF.
Gotta love the local alert system - flooding of roads predicted in the normal places. Lots of help for the folks just passing through don'tcha think?
That was you singing Ray? I thought you'd locked your cat in your luggage again. J.R.
Mornin' everyone! (takes off slicker and boots.)
Zoe I'll have a hearty bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar this wet chilly morning. Oh! And lots of dark raost coffee in a R&GV RR Mug if you please.
Well we got RG&E 45 tonner 1948 fired up and ready to complete the switching, but she isn't legal to move out onto the LA&L trackage, so Duke will have to get the dinner over to us with one of his Berks! You can bet the railfans in the RR Hysterical Society will be out in force to see the move! Track 4 is cleared for the diner, and 1948 can do final spotting for us.
Yep, there are several among the missing. Ulrich hasn't been in for a couple of days either. Hopefully Jeff is just having some internet access problems. I sure do miss Tom White's posts here! Hope it wasn't my singing that drove him away. And Fergie? Do hope he is alright and staying safe.
Today is....... ah..... WET! Yep, today is wet here in the Finger Lakes. We are right on the edge of the storm that has the whole Eastern Coast of the US getting soaked. We could get anywhere from 1" to 2" from it to 2" to 5" from it. Depends on who you read. Like the rest of the East, we are under a Flood Watch. Likelyhood of anything really bad here is low. My prayers for all of you where conditions are far worse!
TMarsh ] OK, Jeff, and Keith, haven’t seen him in a while eiher. Who else needs to pop in and say they're ok?? hmmmmm.

Good Morning! Coffee please and a Happy last Day of September. Boy it’s hard to believe that the First Day of October is just tomorrow. These holidays seem to be getting closer and closer every year. Must be age.
Love to stay and chat buuuUUT gotta get going if I’m gonna get ANYthing done before work.
OK, Jeff, and Keith, haven’t seen him in a while eiher. Who else needs to pop in and say they're ok?? hmmmmm.

Good morning. Its another rainy day!!!
Let's see...........The Neon is still acting up, so I'm stuck at the house, Maybe today I can work on the layout a bit, and work on some more cars. Other than that, not much planned.
Hope everybody has a good morning.

Good Morning All,
64F and just bucketing down rain here this morning. Runoff flowing over the curbs and down the driveway at the bottom of our hill. Probably the ity needs to clean out the storm drains again as we had water backed up all down our street. Must be left over from our friends in Florida. Still soaked from the walk from the house to the car and from the car into the shop - all of about 50ft total.
Still no Jeff - hope he's doing ok - the fatigue thing was worrysome.
I'll go and pick up my coffee at the counter and see you all later. J.R.
Good Morning Folks!
Just some Coffee today please.
Hope all is well with everyone, looking like it's going to be a good day!

Good Morning, Not much going on in Ohio today, but we might get our first frost this weekend (inland away from the lake).

Hello and Good Morning
Flo, think I'll start the daay with an extra strong black coffee and some toast/jam and the stack o' pancakes with 100% pure Ontario Maple Syrup, please. I'll be siting with Ken and Bill here--
Busy day for us'uns today--gotta take Audrey to the doctors to get pills renewed, then to bank to pay bills, then to grocery store to get food, then to Home Desperate to pick up some tools, then to TigerDirect to get some pooter parts---and then, maybe, if I'm lucky---home.
Weather her be kind of funny--going up to 24C today and maybe tomorrow--but then Saturday it will only get to 10C for a high--with showers---eeewwwwww
Starting to think about refinishing our back hall floor--it really looks like a mess right now---what with a bare path along the floor--it was stained a dark oak when it was done about 30 years ago---now it lhas white pine showing through-----
Oh welb, aaahhhhhhh, it has come.

Mourning Flo, Am I the first customer of the day again?
I will take 3 sunny side up, 3 strips of bacon, English Muffin and a Diet Dew please.
Need to do something about my sleep cycle, it is getting out of hand. I was up at 3:30 AM this mourning. I think I am sleeping well, all so having a lot of pleasant dreams.
Really didn't much done on the Layout last night. Solder together a couple of turnouts and that was it.
Garry and others Thanks for the kind words and thoughts. Yes thinks are going to be tight till i start working. But, I am still better off than many and way better off than when I was working at Mattress Giant.
I might lay some more tile in the hallway. Doing a 36" X 48" section should take with cutting out the carpet a Hour. So, with my luck 3 hours!
Did install a light over the Kitchen sink the other day, one of the reason's I wanted to install the Mill Work, to hide the light. That is the section of the cabinets that I painted with the POS White paint. Sue took a good look at the area I painted yesterday and did nothing but complain about how cheap it looks? She does not like the high gloss paint. Sure glad I did not get more painted.
Mom fell. Is in the hospital again. Nothing broken, she's staying for tests.
Missy fell. On the floor and is snoring.
Brenda fell. Into bed and is snoring.
I'm gonna fall. Asleep here soon. I'm gonna snore.
Ray's neck of the woods sounds good to me.

Packers#1 the North East Rail Modeler: Packers#1: well, I have a spanish test friday. I'll be trying for a 100, but I'll be happy to pass it. Good Luck. Thanks, I tend to be a bit over-dramatic with my predictions of how I'll do on a test or something, so we'll see how it goes.

It should be easy. Just press "2" for Spanish.

Hello everyone.
Vincent ... I looked at your Texas trip pictures. It looks like fun.
Regarding Allegators. I recall Alco made them to compete with SD24's. Santa Fe's idea was to order them with low noses for better visability. They did likewise for SD24's.
Ken ... Sounds like you are in a rough period. I hope everything works out soon.
Everybody .... Any thoughts on where to move the diner in October. I suggest Ray host it at his museum in Upstate New York. The fall colors should be nice. Perhaps, Duke could loan his favorite Berkshire to haul the diner there.
Happy Model Railroading!

Well, set a new personal best for myself for continuous time spent running; ran for 25 mins. 29 seconds tonight, for the entire second half of that I was chanting "Praise You Jesus" in rhythm with my running (not trying to get into religion here, just stating a fact).
Well, I'm gonna sleep good tonight, have a good one y'all!

You are right about that, Packer.
Although, Florida has dodged some big bullets this season. If it hadn't have been for that pressure cell or whatever that was over us, my family would have had to literally head for the hills in Georgia for Earl. (I lost track of how many hurricanes we've tracked, as well as the number of close calls and lucky breaks)
Anywhoo, the rain has let up now, and I have the empty bottle of Motrin for my boioler project. I'll probably draw up the plans tomorrow, and probably on Friday afternoon, I'll get started on it.
Yes, I'll post photos as it progresses
Hey guys
Seems kind quiet here today
Ken, it's a bit louder than the video shows. the camera tended to focus more on the wind noise than anything. The shutters opening and closing were louder than I though
Vincent
Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Enjoy it whist you can gentlemen - after is life where you're tested every day. A coffee and a blueberry doughnut please.
Long day in the shop even considering it was a late start. Now for some gov't w..k - back on the CFOs' Ram 50 brakes. Finally got the calipers off and the rebuilts look correct (not messing with totally rusted calipers, nope not me) so with luck back on they go. Broken wheel stud was straight forward - knock out, press in new with green loctite, reassemble rotor to hub and reinstall with bearings and new split pin. One thing at a time and all steps closer to starting that layout again. Here's that coffee and I'm gone. CUL, J.R.
