I did it again !!
Was somewhat bored so was looking at the other forum, and of course the quarterly Smoke tribute thread was there. An interesting caveat this time though. It seems new management/owner is now in place. And thats great for both parties. But, I went ahead and defied the unwritten laws and did not compliment the product, but instead raised a couple of unanswered antagonizing questions that were previously eluded to. So even though I sent in a check to renew my subscription, I'm going to have to see about some security guards around the train room for a few days.
So I will be extremely courtious here, so as not to be banished from here also.

We're gonna have to find you a second full time job to keep you out of trouble on the forums.
Well, it is snowing in NC. Now they say the Triangle will get most of it and about 4 to 6 inches of WET snow. Can't see how it will stick as was 50 degrees at noon and into the afternoon. Ground not frozen hard [still in some palces from the deep cold earlier this past weekend]. Actually got back from the lake [Lawson, Kerr Lake but you "Vergennians" try to call it Buggs Island Lake. My place is in Virginia but land accessed only from NC] around 7:30. Ate a bite and watched a movie. Went to sleep [reclinerized] and woke up around 1:30 with it snowing.
Gettysburg, wonderful place to visit. NC was first to charge and last to retreat. Stupid!! Why charge up hill over an open field. War is NOT over. WE Rebs are still fighting it. Until the Yanks admitt they love GRITS and SWEET ICE TEA, it will go on and on. We are winning every day. Yanks move South and set up homesteading. Have kids and they become SOUTHERNERS. Got lots of friends from New York with it funny accent. Their kids do NOT sound like their parents. Their kids talk Southern and take up Southern habits. Winning all the time.
Well, off to bed and we will see how much snohio accumilates. All the road have been sprayed. Good night.
PS: OUCH!!! in the thirty minutes of starting this thread, snohio has covered the ground. Roads wet. Snowing hard. Wife not go to work today. Later.

Good Morning from cold (3°F) Southern Ohio,
I am on night shift and we have the work done and watching things till the next shift comes on. Just had a bowl of oatmeal with raisins and another cup of coffee.
Does anyone know of a source to but the female spade connectors for the Fastrack? They look like they are ~3MM and from what I see that is the size some audio components use. I’m checking with some of the electronic mechanics if they have a source.
All this talk of Gettysburg reminds me of my father-in-law was a big Civil War buff. He did a lot of research and found that an artillery unit from Portsmouth held a key position called Little Round Top.
RT – The mail man and UPS guy places packages and mail inside our front door that opens to a vestibule that stays much warmer than if it were in a mailbox. It should not be a problem. I’m putting something in the mail for you on the way home from work.
PhilaKnight – Good to hear from you again. The black ice got my Civic Sunday; the estimate today was just over $1000 to replace the front and rear bumpers.
SJ – To remove the link coupler is easy. I take a piece of ¼ “ tubing long enough to firmly hold the back side (the fat side) of the pin when laid on it’s side on a firm surface. The take a hammer and tap the portion of the pin that sticks out. The tubing keeps from messing up the truck too much. There is just a tiny flare holding the pin in.
Jim F – We took the train out west several years ago. It was great. You see a lot of scenery.
May God bless
Jim
Morning all!
Morning Chief: Sorry for the late Christmas present. You may need to fire up the apache to get to the office.
Quiet day here..bride and i went to Ruby Tuesday for dinner before our class...i ate too much, but would still like a piece of that Pineapple upside sunday foster flambe whoosie! If there's anything left, of course....
Edit:
Don: You have the manufacturer there in person to address this question! Great! Now why won't he answer?
Kurt
HI GYZ,
8 this morning and the snow is crunchy. Off of bus duty, for this is the begining of the third marking period. 89 days to go!!!!!
Got cellar way all painted yesterday now to get train signs and Old MILL signs up.
Stay FROSTY,
laz57
I'm back!!! What a great time. Wish I could do it again.
Great job, Chuck!!! The Chief thought since I was gone, that we could not hit him with some Ohio snow.
More later!!

Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Not as cold as Southern Ohio (16), cloudy and SHOHIZO all over the ground and trees here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Bedroom finished, and fifeys-whities are ready for inspection. Kinda tailgated out back last night with beef on the grill, and a fire in the pit, and some brown bottles with red-white-and-blue labels to sip from.
dbaker - better get accustomed to free speach getting the "choke hold"...
Good morning all,
It is cloudy and cold in SE Indiana with temps in the teens. Did some Second Life after posting last night. Talked to all three of the kids. They are all doing ok to various degrees. Lucas is finally learning how to get rides home from Bloomington without having some one go down and get him. I guess the college education is starting to pay off already! I had bran muffins on the dining car this morning. Pork tenderloins and zucchini bread will be ready for the Tardis tonight. I think it is my turn to drive so fasten your seat belts and keep the food trays in their locked and upright position. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Buckeye and Chuck you guys did too good of a job you were only supose to go as far as the chief . I'm getting snohio down here even.
Morning all grass almost covered roads wet schools closed and just about everything else. LOL
Time to get some breakfast in talk to you all later

YANKEES' mess all over Roseyville. Snohio falling hard. Ground and roads covered. US 401 [Main Street] has been scraped twice and still covered. Told Town Manager to tell staff to stay inside and not come to work. Don't want them exposed to Yankee mess. Will probably canel Town Board meeting. Almost as bad as when Gen. Sherman came to town. Lucy is packed up and I am ready to ship her to Kurt way up Nawth. She loves the snow. Is so excited that no one can sleep. She's been out in it 5 times since 5 AM. Burg being a good old Reb dog says this is a mess. Well, this gives me train running time. Will gain 10 lbs as Pam loves to stay home and bake when it snows. Dennis, pray for a warming Reb sun tomorrow to melt this Yankee mess. Later.
Wind and rain last night and today (so far), rain stopped but not the wind. Temps dropped from 66 to 30 from 10PM to 6AM. Supposed to get to 44 then down into the 20's tonight. Temps are ok, can do without the wind though. First day back at school for the princess and another early day (reville at 0500 >ukk<).
Listened to much of the NJ Devils last night and they won (against Nashville), now occupy first place in the Atlantic Division.
Not much on with trains right now, was told I may have to work 2/21, but I have plans to go to the local train show down town. And the boss is not sure whether she needs me her or not.
Heard from an old classmate last night via e-mail...lots of the females from my HS class now divorced...kinda strange....
Oh well, I'll see ya inna bit

Well Chief, we can toss her in, but we may not find her until spring... We have a bit over a foot of snow here...OTOH maybe that was your plan...
Still snowing hard. Wet stuff. Road scraped 7 times and is OK actually. Still not getting out. Lots of folks are driving by. Weather Bureau says lots of accidents from slippery roads. Wind is blowing hard and that is not good. All my bird feeders are full and sueit station is full. Even added some black oil sunflower seeds to the shelter out of the snow. Pam is cooking up a "storm" [well]. May go to the end of school street and walk down to lease to feed deer later this afternoon. May not. May walk all the way. Then get good execise as park is closed. Later
Morning all. Odd day so far - half our Loop buidlings are closed because of a gas leak. Of course, the announcement came just after I got on the train downtown. So, looking for a home, I went on in, meandered down to take a look at Union Station, then over to the visitor center at the Board of Trade, visiting a few other buidlings I like - finally found a computer in our library building where I get to sit until noon. . .

Beautiful day in the Heartlands, gorgeous blue skies with a warming sun. It's about 15 outside but very little wind so my morning walk was perfect, I'm trying hard to walk 30 minutes every day but sometimes the mind just doesn't want to go but I always feel so much better when I come back and grab a cup of coffee. Life is good.
Don B., you sure like skating on thin ice on that other forum However, your question is valid.
Jon
So many roads, so little time.
Good Morning
A beautiful cold sunny morning with clear roads and oatmeal. Ah.
Phish-thanks for the tip, was what the seller told me to do but this "Blue" is really nice and I thought cutting the head of the pin off might be less chance of damage since I have not done one before. If it were just a car, I would jump right on it.
I am taking the wife to a Dr. this afternoon as an xray showed arthritis in her shoulder. I don't know what she expects the Dr. to do except tell her to take Tylenol. But I will take her.
Time to enjoy this nice bright sunlite, No use trying to watch any news today in this entire world there will only be one thing that happens all day. Have a good one...S.J.

Good morning everyone.
Cold but Sunny here.
Have just learned of a new hobby shop in Canal Whinchester Ohio called En Hobby on Gender road. Will check it out next week if I can.
Looks like the Smoke manufacturer posted a response to Don... Funny how it's different when I sit in front of the same computer in this lab instead of in an office...Wonder what else there is I can visit downtown instead - maybe Marshall Fields, I mean Macys... Sure glad it's snowing down south (cue evil-sounding laugh...)
ChiefEagles She loves the snow. Is so excited that no one can sleep. She's been out in it 5 times since 5 AM. Burg being a good old Reb dog says this is a mess.

Chief, That is just a good example of "youthful exhuberance" vs "wisdom of age".
Doug M., Macy's web-store was blowing out some Dept 56 Christmas stuff last week, was sorely tempted but made a very rational decision to not order any.
That's just the incentive I needed, Doug. ;}

Nope, just not stupid like someone I know. Black ice in the forecast for this afternoon after dark. Snowing lightly now.
We have a new President. He is OUR President so I will give him the chance he needs. A call for unity and I will answer.
Will take my walk to the pond and "lease". Feed deer and birds there and listen to the wind in the trees as it snows. How restful and peaceful. God bless.
