Neat street car John, and liked the Snow Leopard Br.Lion
Judy's taking me to Paul's for a Po' Boy this after noon. It wont be as good as the best ones we've had, without a doubt, but I'm still excited to get my grub on

We had snow last night! Wow, it was maybe a half an inch, but we have had zero snow the last two years, so it was good to see. It's all melted off now, so no brushing snow off the cars.
Guys, don't fret getting bifocals. I no longer have to carry one pair of glasses for near and one for far. I also avoided them for a long time, but once I tried them I was sold. And, because I no longer have to switch glasses between tasks, I just keep the bifocals on so I never put them down and lose rthem.
Of course, in my peaceful model town of Mooseport, everyone has perfect vision and no one needs glasses.

How about aviator sun glasses?

"All of the world's problems are the result of the difference between how we think and how the world works."
That works. I've got a lost pair under the back seat of the Truck. Chad told me they made me look like a Rock Star. But I'm not.
But we had a really good Philly Beef cheese steak at the Shanty, French Dip style, with plenty of green peppers, onions and mushrooms ...Mighty Tasty
And you always go back there, cuz the beef is so tender, nothing sticks in-between your teeth
Paul's didn't open up untill 4:00, and my Judy was much hungrier way before than.
So we ate big and went home!

Evening
My freinds, there comes a day when you know you've been thrown through a loop. Was listening to Judy talking to her Sister Barb and just discovered there is two Marky Marks!
Are you Kidding me?
Could barely deal with just the one...
Attuvian1Surely, Brent, this MUST generate a Beartoon!

York1 John
I asked my doctor if I gave up delicious food and all alcohol, would I live longer? He said, "No, but it will seem longer."
York1I finally got the streetcar to run, stop at the end points, reverse, and run again. Next is to work on adding streets. This is a boring video of the streetcar running. Hope the video works here.
So no intermediate stops? No, not even one?

Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
In addition to camouflaging them, a snow leopard's soft, dense fur keeps it warm in thebitter cold. Their large paws work like snowshoes, letting the cat walk on snow withoutsinking. And their long, heavy tail helps them keep their balance while they're chasing prey.Snow leopards have spotted white-greyish fur that keeps them well insulated in cold weather – it can be
5cm long on their back and sides and almost 12cm long on their belly.
Can see how that would work.
The Mach 1 is definitely going 2 my Jeremy. My stepson. No matter, no matter how that would work
He is my best kid
My Jeremy
Derek was kind of down and out.
Not too good.
He might get by with that!
He got one hundith from me, one hundith from my judith, and one hundith from Sister Barb.
He might be OK now.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Good morning from the slushy West where the big melt is on. We are down to 30cm.

Better have a Will in place or it will likely go to the Feds.
Transferring a vehicle of the deceased is as simple as changing any ownership of a car if there is a Will in place. Trying to do it without a Will in place is possible, however, the legal cost can often run a lot more than the vehicle is worth, so most just walk away.
You know all those cars that you see sitting in fields that when they were put there were in great shape? A simple piece of paper called a Will would have allowed them to continue to roll down the highway.
Both my kids had Wills as soon as they were legal age. They were not getting a dime if they didn't.
John (York) I was just about to ask you if you could post a video of the trolly and it showed up. It is very cool, I often wish I had a way to fit one in on my layout, but so far no great ideas.
It is our 26th anniversary today, didn't get married until I was 40. My wife and I were good friends for 14 years before we hooked up in a serious way. Everyone knew I would empty my bucket list before I settled down and I did. I saw too many of my friends get married and have kids at a young age only to be pinching pennies for the next 30 years. That was not for me, I had things to do.
I can hear a lot of water running with the big melt, I am glad we are at the top of the hill, I bet there is some real flooding going on in places.
Canucks and Leafs tonight. Up until then, it is train time.
All the best to all.
Thanks Brent.
I'm gonna start working on this
Good Afternoon,
Been a quiet week here. I did go for my annual physical. Just waiting for the lab results.
TF, I second Brent's advice for having a will. There are many kits available so you can do one yourself but be careful about how you sign it. I eould recommend you do it before a Notary. Here insurance agents sometimes are and they will charge a lot less than a lawyer. As part of my job I was a Notary for my company. I had to surender my official seal to the government when I retired.
I think it is time for a cup of Yorkshire Gold,

A big wagy tail indeed. Thanks Charlie, I'm gonna fix this soon.

Perhaps a little bit too much fuzz on tail though...
BATMANTransferring a vehicle of the deceased is as simple as changing any ownership of a car if there is a Will in place.
Please look into TOD or Transferable on Death for a vehicle title. This completely eliminates any mention in a will, which can be disputed, and avoids probate on said vehicle. TOD also makes the tax situation easier. Some states may have an inheritance tax where TOD usually eliminates this.
Many car dealers don't mention it but you can designate a beneficiary at no cost when you purchase the car and have the original title drawn up. If you want to add a TOD beneficiary after the fact you'll probably have to pay the title filing fee and clerk costs. Varies by state.
Here's an example of Ohio law:
As the sole owner of a motor vehicle, watercraft, or outboard motor, an individual may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to an Ohio title with a signed and notarized Affidavit to Designate a Beneficiary (form BMV 3811) submitted to a County Clerk of Courts Title Office.
A Transfer on Death beneficiary needs to bring:

TF, after dealing with my parents' estate and my inlaws' estate, I will echo what Brent suggested.
Edit: After I posted I read Ed's post. While I don't know anything about it, it sounds like a good deal if you want to make sure someone gets your car.

Good morning!
Good morning, everyone. It's donut day, so I'll just have coffee, Chloe.
Yesterday we drove to see grandkids. Leaving our town along the interstate, we were surprised at the number of cars in the median or along the ditches. Lots of people tried to drive through last week's blizzard and didn't make it.
When our daughters and families were all at our house, we had them go through the house and put their names on anything that they want when we die. They all have so much stuff in their adult lives, there's not much they want except for sentimental things. That was mostly wall art. None of it is expensive or valuable, just sentimental. Nobody put a name on my trains.
Have a great Sunday!

Morning everyone. Flo, just a coffee.
Appears my wife or my daughter gave me whatever cold they've been fighting. Mostly just sore throat, but still. I have to travel for work this week. Not looking forward to it.
TF, you may also be able to find a notary at your bank/credit union. Ours offers that service for free.
York1, my grandma did that with a bunch of their belongings before they passed. Problem was in her later years she forgot she did that and gave away a bunch of stuff that was supposed to go to others.
