SO, Has anyone bought any cool trains lately? Speaking of slinging mud, I am almost finished with wiring up my switches and hope to be working on scenery soon. For some reason, a line from "Stripes" comes to mind....."Lighten up Francis". Anyway, hope the peace returns soon.
God Bless,

Good Evening everyone.....
I see that things are rather quiet tonite. Nothing much going on. I'm just waiting for the OS & LSU game to start. Buckeye is all dressed in his scarlett and gray robes.
And away we go......................................
Rich,Sorry, but I couldn't resist... you left that door FARRRRR too wide open!hmmm.... what's that nasty odor... Buckeye - it's all in good fun my friend... even if some people can't realize this...
Brilliant, jonadel,
Seldom do I see such fine examples of well thought out rhetoric.
Aren't you guys under orders to ignore me?
Kick the ball.

I have redacted the original post to the point of deletion because I realized that it was too complicated. There is a far simpler version of the point I was trying to make later in this thread, if anyone cares. Bear in mind that you are still under the advice of Chief to ignore my posts. It is quite easy to do, as they are well marked.
Two of the responses to the original post were quite amusing.
1. On member appeared not to have realized that post was almost entirely a quotation from a news story and not a rant of my making;
2. Another stated he would remain on the sidelines and "sit this one out" and then jumped right in. On two counts it was the most self-contradictory post that I have ever seen. Either he realized it or somebody tipped him off. In any event, it is now gone; however, I keep "hard" copies.
WOW...it is 72 degrees and sunny. Really. Just sitting outside and enjoying the weather. Spring is coming.....
Going to watch the OS & LSU game tonite...Go Bucks
To my Good Ohizioan Friends:
Even though I do NOT condone the
activity of watching College Sports,
I hereby wish you all (not y'all)
a hearty GOOD LUCK against LSU
tonight at whatever bowl this is.

I just noticed that Wake County led the State in Deer/Vehicle Colllisions with 942 in 2006[last stastical data]. Guilford County was 2nd with 602. No numbers on how many Norfolk Southern has nailed.
Perhaps you should train Rudolph, Bambi and the flock you feed at the lake to walk facing traffic and then only travel in the daytime. According to the State Patrol, 6 p.m. until midnight is prime contact time along with pre-dawn. Supposedly, Dec and Jan represent the final two months of frequent deer movement in N.C., but------Your State Wildlife buddies and the statistics say the deer ain't got a calendar!

I agree. Everyone at work (I work at OSU) is in scarlet and grey. We make millions either way, so go bucks!

Good Morning everyone. Don, what can I say.....I think I am better off saying nothing. Brent, if you are looking for a distributor, you may want to check the autoparts stores.
Chief, we have had some 70s here and pushing your way. Time to kick that Yankee weather above the MD line where it belongs!
Grayson, not sure of your Waffle House, but ours has a big pot that they cook the old fashioned way with real grits. Only problem is that you have to get them before 9am or they get scorched and resemble food from up in Ohio.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Before I go...Bob N. The March issue of Model Railroader is to have a article on "Modeling the New York Central in the 1960s - in Tokyo!" for you and others with a connection to Japan, you may find this interesting. It is mentioned in the back of the Feb. issue.
Foggy and overcast in Jax, South GA. Supposed to be a warm day. Good day for laundry and I need to do lots. Probably no "Toy" trains for a while. Took down Christmas tree last night. That and some old lugustrum bushes were gone before I got up. More bushes to cut up. Heading to Indianapolis at the end of the week: Silver Meteor, Lake Shore Limited, Cardinal. Then Cardinal to NYC, Silver Meteor home a week later. Will be waiting for new box cars that I ordered last Friday.Looking forward to the New Haven Lionel Alco set that is supposed to ship sometime this month. (LCA set).
More later. Welcome to all the newcomers to the "Pot".

Good Morning to All
Warm for here in the 50s but heavy overcast as usual. Think I will do some errands today before the weather changes its mind. I do not have train plans for today but one never knows.
Brutus- send me an E when you are home just received a new batch. Don't want to send unless you are there. Haven't read them yet. Sir James
Morning. Really warm. Repelled the Yankee temps of last week. Busy day with Town and County. In fact next three days.
Fruit and nuts are Yankees in FL. BTW: I may talk about grits but I love Italian food. DIL is Italian. Never seen a bad Italian dish.
Have a great week. God bless.

Good morning all,
It is warm and cloudy in SE Indiana with temps heading to the 60s today. I was awake all night with a sore throat and cold, but fortunately I did not have to drive today. I will probably go to bed tonight when I get home and not go in tomorrow. The only reason I came in today was I have some tasks which have to be done today. Tmcc man, glad to hear you are doing better. Welcome to all the newcomers to the 'pot. You will find it to be an interesting place. Dining car arrived from "Points East" with the usual fare. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a very mild 55 degrees. Cloudy. Going up to 68, today with maybe some sunshine later.
Today is a busy day. I have a bunch of errands to run and a few things to do around the house. No time for trains . Spent some quality time in the train room, yesterday, putting some scenery plans together.
Well, Dining car is here and it's time for breakfast. Then, it is off to a run to " points west ".
Y'all have a great Monday

WOW FOOOOGGGGY today 48 now going up to 70, another wonder workday. I may get something done before the day is through. Looks like the main building is open, so it must be COFFEE TIME!!!
I usually get here early before the crazies show up, I can get more work done.
Fife, I dunno about the cold weather thing, I fear my bride may have ulterior motives. She fought hard to get here, now after 15 long years, she's wanting to move back. As Paul Harvey would say, this is a strange....
AH yes...and a big hearty to all our new friends...You'll find a grand assortment of mixed nuts and fruits here (No, not specifically youse giz in Cali..), but we are generally pleasant to be with and quite knowledgeable. Sorry I didn't acknowledge you all earlier, it seems at my age, I loose my place sometimes...All this at 52!!!
Coffee time...until later...

No but Terry Cambell [one of the Miss Edna guys] has and they work great. Never had time to hook mine up [still in the boxes]. Extended all my switch controllers to a central place.
Grayson is a lot better than Blueson. Got the color right.
Off to bed. Just saw forecast for the week. Above average temps [high 60's to 70's] and maybe record highs. Rain at the end of the week.
Good night all.
PS: then we have this guy from CA who swims in mud while shaking and tembling as he escapes from fast running fires.
Grayson,
I'm getting a little concerned about you !!! With all the recent discussions about grits, and you southern folk aruguing 'bout them, then the Chief buying big drawers. It really bothers me to see the type of influence you are having to ward off.
Been real busy out here the past couple of days. We've gotton over 2" of rain, and had power out most of last night. (Almost as bad a Arizona, clouds, no power.) Did get quite a bit of work done in train room, including some wiring. Put up a couple of shelves, hung some curtains, Would have put more shelves up, but need to do some sanding and painting, and not the best weather for that, so will have to wait. The more shelves up the less "stuff" I have to keep moving around. Didn't get a chance to actually run any trains, just working which was great.
