Toy train operating and collecting

Mike C. I was the same situation last night as my computer dropped all passwords from its memory and then I couldn't get into CTT as they were doing scheduled maintenance what got me I saw no word of it on the forum front page.

Morning all have leaves to rake today so thats always fun (NOT)

Time for breakfast so later

Morning all.  Dropped off our son at school and in a short while, the daughter's turn.  Have to bring the wife's van in for service as we will be heading to HotLanta next week for "Thanksgiving" dinner with in laws.  I am on call for the big day, so we will do it a week early.

Regarding the movie, it is the story of three P.O.s who strive to be real men and real fathers to their kids.  Lots of twists.  I am not sure that we will have any train related scenes, but I will try to get one in there. 

Have some things I have to get taken care of on the Honey Do list.  Perhaps a little layout therapy is in order.
God Bless,
Dennis

Good morning

Overcast and wind feels cold.

I will be leaving soon with train buddy for breakfast and a trip to the train store. They broke up some Lionel NYC Flyer sets and they are holding an 0-8-0 for me. Thats the better one with more side rod action and train sounds. Enjoy your monday...S.J.

Mornin' all!

My last post for a while.  Got the news late yesterday that my dad did a header down the stairs and is in ICU at St. Joe's in Paterson.  I'm heading out later today to return to NJ and help out my mom for the week, but I won't have internet access up there.  Too bad - I have some more pics to add to my viaduct thread.  They'll have to wait. Tyler's very upset with me leaving - he came down 3 times int he middle of the night last night.

I hope everyone has a good week.

The best for your dad. Have a safe trip and we look forward to your return.

Morning all.  Meetings until late tonight.  Busy day for me. 

Spanky, prayers your Dad will be OK.  Have a safe trip.

Chat later. 

Spanky Prayers for your dad and your moms nerves right now sure there stretched.

Amazing how this car has traveled more than 1,700 miles over the past 11 months.

Good morning all (again),

Prayers for your dad, Spanky.  Impressive mileage on that boxcar, Doug.  Dennis, make sure one of the dads is a soocer coach! :-)  That will add realism to the movie.  RT, thank you for letting me know I was not the only "bit" this weekend with the forum sign-on.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Good Morning, back in Paradise....

Spank – for your Dad and for Chief, who is trying to outdo Burt Reynolds..

Mom is doing well with her cast – just can’t stop her – ball o’fire.

Went to Newark to see the NEW arena and my DEVILS, who crushed the Ducks.  I made an appearance on the ice to shoot for a new car.  Missed the net on the first shot, but hit the net on the second – but not in that tiny hole they had.  Nice facility – was duly impressed.  Was escorted on the ice by a nice young Devils Dancer from Long Island, and a good time was had by all.

The weather was wonderful Monday & Tuesday, was in a T-Shirt in NYC Monday for the NYU tour.  We rode NJ Transit; those new Bombardier double decker coaches are really nice.  An AMD (toaster) was pulling one and on the return I think it was an HHP.  The Princess wants to go there, and we lined up the information needed.  Looks interesting, just need her to get on board for the homework and it should work.  1.5 years left to make it happen.

Left Saturday at 1100 AM got back at 0155 AM Sunday – 15 hours and I drove 13 of ‘em, so I’m still jet lagged a bit. 

Desk full of paperwork, just cleared out my “INBOX”, so I still have more to do.

OK much to do so little time – will check back later!

Spanky, prayers for your Dad to have a good recovery from this accident.

Ray

Spanky, my families prayers go out to your family.

Spanky,

              Prayers for your dad.

I will be posting photos in this week's thread as soon as they are done uploading.  I have put work on the layout on hold due to the Flyer addiction. You just don't realize how great Flyer is until you start to get into it. 

Spanky......hope your Dad is OK.  Prayers that he is well enough to go home soon.
