Good morning
Sunny this morning but it was 5 degrees when I got up. Same for tomorrow morning. I hate these winter months that have six or seven weeks in them.
Don't worry about the "pot" without it the CTT forum would have cob webs in it.
I have no real plans for today so I guess I could run some trains. You guys think I should chance it. Have a good one...S.J.

I've watched two interviews with your infamous Governor this morning---WOW I had to laugh when they showed a 5 second clip from Richard Daly and all he said "Cuckoo-Cuckoo". It appears he won't be Governor much longer. Maybe you should jump in there--"a 3 rail train in every home" could be your campaign slogan.

So many roads, so little time.
Morning all. Grey and cold here - thank goodness it's still - the air so cold, it feels 'heavy' - and it's a balmy 12. Jon, he's unbelievable - he really thinks he's the embodiment of an embattled Winston Churchill.

YES, SNAKE PLISSKEN. Love the DUKEs car in that a Cadilac with the chandeleers on the hood. ERNIE BORGNIGN is also great. Great flick. And JACKIE BASSETT

JON,
Thats the reason why I took up X country skiing. Too expensive for the downhill version and we have lots o trails here with hills, but bouncing off trees sometimes isn't fun.
Fife and others shooting slides, B&H photo in NY has a deal on developing slides. Mail order and turn around is pretty good. I buy the pre-paid envelopes in bulk and send them off. I think I will soon be looking for a digital. While I have a Kodak Easyshare, my main camera equipment is Nikon. Too much invested in lenses to switch. I am waiting on a stabilized digital body for the Nikon like Konica has. When it comes out, I'll jump on it.
supposed to be around 70 today. We shall see. Hope the folks up north don't get too cold.
God Bless,Dennis

Well, move it to its on slot under CTT. You would know it came from somone in OHIZO. Probably an OTTS member. I realy think it was a constructive suggestion. Do not think the "Pot" is slowing it down. The adds and etc. In fact, the other night [actullay the morning I was on real early] something in here had a virus attached but my CA blocked it. Talked to my TW guy and he said it was an add with an attachement. Was going to temp internet files. It cleared up later. Nothing safe now. Big VISA thing got "hacked into".

Brutus: Hope you're feeling better.
Out yesterday...Church audio and video, (yes, at the same time) yesterday am. Sister in town to cellebrate Christmas, and 2-yo birthday, then off to a friends's house to celebrate 2-yo's birthday again...Sheesh!
BiL and I watched the DVR'd coal train episode, and played with trains a bit. I think I have him hooked. He used to build dioramas, and wants to get back into it. We discussed uses for found objects, like chip brush bristles for cattails. The women folk mused that they would save haircuttings, just for us. Why are they unhappy when we spend $$ on this stuff, and are still unhappy when we find ways not to spend money on it.
So Whadddidimiss? Looks like I just missed on the blue puddle jumper...Outbid by a nickle. DOH. That would have made a good toy for the girls to play with in the driveway, next to the old refrigerators, and washers in the front yard. Looks like it went to the lucky bidder fron Snohizo.
Congratulations Pennsylvania! Looks like you won the Guantanamo Bay lottery! At least in your Governor's eyes.

As for this thread causing problems, how come other forums can have threads over 1000 pages long without slow response times?
Replied to three job postings this morning.
Thanks for the slide processing tips rt & dwiemer.

Brutus, did you ever hear a jazz tune called "Floating Down That Ole Green River"? The next line is "on the good ship Rock & Rye". That's what your post made me think of. It's a song about some guy telling this fantastic story to appease his wife as to his whereabouts. He gets "Stuck on a bar tied to the mast watching schooners go past" It concludes with "I had to drink that whole Green River dry to get back home to you". Ah yes, reminds me of my wild and wooly days. Now the strongest thing I drink is Sprite. Have a good day y'all.

The Coffee Pot is about the only thing I read on this forum. I would miss it a lot if they took it off.
We haven't been to the ski slopes for quite a few years either, I think when the knee pains started to outweigh the enjoyment it was time to put 'em away. Besides, when the daughter grew up and out on her own my remaining ski buddy, SWMBO, was a hazard to ski with. No visible marks and bones generally heal well.
My biggest gripe was spending a small fortune on lift tickets just to stand in long lines for what seemed forever. Then we wised up and never went on or just before any kind of holiday. Going to Park City it seemed to work best by arriving on sunday evening and departing on friday morning. Something that kinda peaked my interest but never got around to trying was the Telemark skiing, but I always found it difficult to walk and chew gum at the same time.
Expecting a delivery today, picked up another little trinket for Halloween 2009.

The sugestion wasn't to do away with it . It was to give it its own forum. If you go to some of the other sections they have 2 - 4 different forums with different items per forum.
Now to me maybe put SPF and coffee pot in one as they both use a lot but on the other hand I prefer the way it is as I do like to jump from subject to subject in the fron of the forum and read the different idea.
I don't know about isolating this thread - in comparison to the other forums (forumi?), there's just not as much traffic here.
Hey Fife I bet you could make it to york photo main office in less than an hour if they messed your order up

I saw an episode today on Postcards from Nebraska on RFD -TV. Had several of your "It was so cold ...." on it . Ever seen that show?

Good Afternoon form snowy Southern Ohio,
They are already starting to close schools for tomorrow! They are predicting more snow over the night so driving into work will be exciting to say the least.
Dennis – Bride and I watched the movie and we loved it. Ever bit as good as Facing the Giants or better! I am giving the homily (sermon) this weekend and I may be able to work a plug in for the movie. I HIGHLY recommend it for all married couples. The movie shows very clearly how important it is to maintain our priorities. I think the folks doing the acting were very good in their roles. Great Job! I am going to buy some more to give away and recommend that all the couples going through marriage prep watch the movie.
Jim F – Glad you are feeling better.
May God bless

GREG,
I'm with FIFE on living forever.
Jim, thanks for the kind words regarding the movie and for the plug....It was a labor of love. I think we will begin work on the next project in the next couple of months.
Was a fantastic afternoon. Was done early and home before 5pm. Went outside with the wife and kids and played on the swings set. Wore shorts! It must be in the low to mid 70s. Sorry for all those in Northern climates We are planning on a Fireproof movie night, complete with popcorn. Got to get on it soon as I have a very challenging case in the morning and better get plenty of rest.

Buckeye,
Did you see the announcement, just what you will need for the garden layout. Bachmann now has the rights to make "G" gauge Thomas & Friends !!!!!!!
Gang, let management work through this slow server thing. I can tell you, I don't think Carl and I know Bob would no let anything happen to the "Pot" without a fight. Give them some time. BTW: if you have dialup, everything is slow.
GLAD TO SEE THE YANKEES ARE GETTING THEIR DUE!!! More cold and snhio the better. Freeze them DEEEEEPPP and pile them up with snohio.
True story: [Jon will like this one] lady on Parks and Rec Advisory Board is from Ohio. They moved here a couple of years ago [say they would NEVER go back]. He is electrical engineer. Came home from Ioway for the weekend. He is on contract with a contractor. Got call he was laid off. He was expecting it. Seems the major contractor is rebuilding damaged power stations in Ioway after the floods. Wasting tons of fed and sate funds. She says blowing them. Finally got shut down. Contractor should be put in jail.
Well ribbon cutting done and reception over. Now to Town Board meeting.
Later.

Mrs Buckeye says, "Wow! That's neat! We might need to get one or two after B.n.O arrives."

Thomas & Friends are just for making his momentous debut, now the "Golden Hudson" that is for the "Big Graduation Day". From pre-school to kindergarten.
That's what grampas are for.
Hi Guys,
Just got home from work and the spade connectors I ordered for the fastrack came in. They work perfect. It has a crimp on end that looks like it would easily take up to a 14 gauge wire. I bought 50 and wont need that many. Let me know if any of you would like some.
Buckeye--
Dang it, all of the snow is going south (Missery aka Missouri) sorry Brutus. We do need to catch a break.
Chief--not to worry about my feelings, we will never move from here unless youngest son ever gets married and has Grandchildren........ at that point I think we would move NORTH to be between both of our sons. The very best option though is to take 8 weeks and spend that time at St. Thomas, VI in Jan. & Feb. Any one else want to join us? If I'm going to move south, it will be VERY south and not worry about ice storms and no power, Chief? No reason for a generator in St. Thomas in Jan. & Feb. But the bottom line is, we will simply stay here and enjoy every minute of midwest weather and our children all year long
Evening All
Another sunny but cold day, expecting around 5 tonite. low 20s tomorrow. I ran my 773 for awhile today, all went well, no accidents.
The Buckeye snow storm is suppose to stay south of here and me not wanting to be greedy will be more than happy to let them have all of it. enjoy boys, we still have plenty on the ground.
Brutus Banilla is waiting, but we will have to check and see if RT baked anything. Nothing here....S.J.
Evening all!
Brutus: Got you covered. Pulled pork sandwiches on home made rolls! Beacon is lit!
More work on the UCS's. Found a bad one. Spent some time trouble shooting the slow spots in the tracks. May need to add ground wire feeders at between the BTB switches.
