Hey guys - some good news on the wife's numbers although she is stll fighting an infection.  They did not change her medicine though, just watching how things go for another week.  Apparently we now know as of today that this stuff she is fighting now is VERY contagious and we should not be sharing a bathroom etc, because we could all catch it as well.  I sure wish they would have told us that a week ago!

Big storm has started and kids were off today and already scheduled off tomorrow.  They closed our office tomorrow also, which is cool Smile

Wife's happy - new Duggars shows on. 

Tardis is ready and banilla will be good with hot fudge on a cold night, so let's go!

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Evenin' Y'all.

Hope all can stay indoors with what looks to be a real nasty batch of weather heading your way. Snow & cold are one thing but all that ice is bad.

Got my Railking 4-6-0 back from the shop, Mizells in Denver, and man does it run good. Just for chuckles I put it and the AT&SF 4-6-0 on the ceiling track to try running them with the DCS Remote Commander. Put them on oppoasite sides of the loop and hit the start-up button, Thumbs Up. Both engines fired up and as soon as you start to advance the throttle, push button throttle, they began moving in unison. Only ran them for about ten minutes, forgot to turn the smoke down a bit before starting. For the "small operator" with PS2 engines I think this DCS RC is a real winner.

Angel for all in need and you guys stay safe in this weather.

Good Morning from "beautiful" Edison, NJ,

32 degrees, light snow covering, more of the same on the way turning to a "wintry mix".

Into work early. Everything is quiet so far. When I left the house this morning, 56 mi. South, it was sleeting. The big storm is behind this one for the weekend.

Traindood, Take care up there. I hear that it is bad North of 78.

Brutus, Good news about Char.

Everyone, Be Careful.

John

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....

It is 38 degrees. Going up to 40 today with a light rain. No snow, freezing rain, sleet, SO FAR.

Today is a busy day. I have some errands to run and the usual chores to do. I will take the afternoon off, and relax. Watching the weather closely.

Dining car is here with the usual breakfast.

Y'all have a great tuesday.

Morning to All,

Yet another closing.  Our kids have not been in school since last Tuesday and tomorrow isn't looking great either. We already have run out of snow days and now have two days to make up. Don't think I am going to brave the ice today. I have lots of vacation days I can use.

Tested the ZW transformer I picked up and it seems to be putting out power on all four taps. Was not able to test the whistle controls.  I want to pull out an AF set that I have and set up a loop on the carpet later today, still too cold in the garage to use the layout. I really ought to find a way to heat and cool the space so I can use it more.

Take care,

Mitch
