I tried twice to edit my post above to correct the spelling error. Both times I got "OOPS" error messages.
I agree, something other than thread length is causing the problems.
Evenin' boys. Tried to stop by last night, but the door was locked. Been spending this week preparing for #2 princess's 16th bash on Saturday. $$$ (...the engines I could've bought ) Did discover a source for scenery details. We have a store called the Cake Cottage, that in addition to wedding toppers and cake decorations, there were shelves of potential scenery objects. Need roman style columns, check there, palm trees yep, pretty o-gauge brides and grooms, even flamingos.
Phish/BK - Sorry 'bout the K-9s...
Gee. You'd think since I stopped posting there would be no problems with the number and length of posts in a single thread. I may have to resurrect my former personna and show Bergie and the gang what real gridlock is! Chief.......glad Lucy is feeling better.
BTW.....I need some technical advice. How do you remove puppy piles from a redwood deck that are partially "cemented" down with ice and snow?

Afternoon all from cold Southern Ohio,
Thanks guys for the condolences for Emma. It is odd not to have any pets. This is the first time since 1975 we have not had a pet. The bride and I agree that we will go pet-less for a while.
Did some work on the layout, repaired a broken wire and removed the 583A Electromagnetic Crane and put the 593 Signal Tower Irefurbed in it's place. I am working toward moving the 766 Animated Station, and making room for the 973milk car and the 971 Lumber Unloader. Refurb complete on the 717 Log Unloader flatcar and work in progress is the 751 Log Loader.
While downtown went to LHS where bride bought my Polar Express and picked up 6 pieces of Fastrack for $3.99 each. I feel myself slipping to the dark side . . .
May God bless
Jim
Sturgeon-PhishI feel myself slipping to the dark side . . .
Jim,
Some of us prefer to think that you have finally seen the light. Now it isn't that much further into the light to actually collect Pre War Flyer you know.
One of these days we will have to colaborate on an S gauge thread. I n eed a reason to get it out of its boxes. That should help ease your guilt.

Fife, I always check the cake decorating aisle at Michaels when I stop in. You can find all kinds of characters as well. Especially Disney & Pixar.
Man it is tuff to lose a pooch, been there done that. Unfortunately it isn't any easier with the last than it was with the first.

A thread like the pre-war thread you started would be interesting I think.
HI GYZ,
17 now here in Millersburg. Probably a heat wave for JON in IOWA?
CHIEF, BIG THANK YOU for the coal you sent me. CHIEF said he'd give me coal for CHRISTMAS, it was there on my door step today after school. I'll take care of you when the NS Dash 9 comes out. Thanks again.
MARTY, COOL grapics with the GRITS.
Stay frosty,

I was looking at the fastrack straights I bought today and it looks like there are tabs in place to connect power leads. Is that correct? If so it would be cheaper to buy regular straights and wire them yourself and save about $1.50 each.
Jim, You found the secret! Just add wire and connectors and you're good to go. Condolences on Emma. It is tough to loose a family member that's so loyal and asks only for love.
Bob, prayers for you and the loss of your family member as well.
Up to 50 today, sunshine and chilly, down to 24 tonight. What a day, more customer problems, it's just crazy. I may be sick on Friday.....
I have to find some space to put my Polar Express on the shelving, I may just have to build more shelves...poor me....
Jack, nice to see you back...as your signature says a bigger hammer...!
Dogs and burgers for dinner ronight, just too lazy to "cook", need to spend some time here in the train room and run some TRAINS!!!

Yup. Curves also have the tabs.
Cold here. I'm so glad we finally have snow. It's been quite a few years with little snow. This is what I remember the snow like growing up. If it's going to be overcast most of the winter here in Michigan, at least we have snow.
Neighbor stopped by to tell me of a new Hobby shop outside of town. He wants me to disappear with him Saturday...We'll see.
Any way to get the Pot stickied to the top? I like it up here.

Rich, Lucy was sitting in my lap as I read the posts. She fainted when I read yours.
Had shrimp and SOUTHERN fried chicken for dinner. We ate out. Went to Lowe's and spent a fortune. I hope the last for a while. Now to pay bills on computer.
Guys, the "management" is aware of the our problems. Be patient.
Good night [tired as sat up with Lucy and then was awaken at 5 AM by Mom to check on Lucy. She is being wild and bouncing off of the walls. She's well.]

Hey, grits ain't so bad after all. I threw some on the sidewalk and they melted the ice.
17 in St. Louis. Watching American Idol and checking the emails - only 40 today? JimSP - sorry about the dog, I saw that post but lost track of it with the changing coffee pots. Laz - sounds like a sweet birthday present!
Gonna be -15 windchill tomorrow. Some schools are calling off. Fingers are crossed!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good evening everyone. Oh, what a day! Very long, difficult case. Then I had to take care of a bunch of administrative details....paperwork which I hate. Then I finally got home tonight and bride made some shrimp and noodles. Was very tasty.
Been trying to download those songs onto the iTouch, still no go, but we will get there eventually. Have a big day tomorrow with three big cases. I am about exhausted. I left the house at O'dark early this morning and it was 32 degrees....Brrrrrr. Not sure what the temps got up to, but it was cold again tonight when I got home.
Bob, I am really sorry for your loss. Next month will be 1 year since we lost a great dog and before that, we lost another very good one 9 months earlier....both were tough to take. Dogs are just great companions and 100% family members.
God Bless,Dennis

Doug - Sounds good.Fife - Hmmm maybe I can save myself some grief/dough and not have kids?.... Nah... wouldn't be much fun in life if we didn't at least try...Just got in from another viewing... friend's brother hung himself over the weekend... just so sad. This is the second suicide in less than a month. Been a rough go as of late.Could use your prayers for Susan tomorrow. She is going on an interview for a new job closer to home. Her company is struggling and she needs to get out before it completely goes under.Chief - good news on Lucy... now just have to 'train' Mom to stop feeding her that which she should not be fed. My parents never learned. Our cat Panther thinks it is cool to hover over the plate and attempt to take food off the plate while you are eating... I keep pushing him off the sofa... and telling Susan we should be eating at a table, not on the sofa. She likes to watch the news while we eat... thing is you can see/hear the new TV perfectly fine from the kitchen... oh yeah... the kitchen table is for junk storage, not eating...
Good evening all,
It is cold and snowy in SE Indiana. Some one please tell Kevin to close the door. Made it home ok. Long couple of days. Lots of activity on the pot. Once again I had McDonald's hotcakes and sausage for breakfast on the dining car. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C from Indiana
Good evening All
Cold here too. 12 degrees and lots of snow on the ground. we had small snow showers today but its to cold for salt to work on the roads so the rush hour crowd had a slow go and Charlie canceled our train run . Which is ok as I would rather he came when the roads were clear and dry. Want to play with trains and not worry about him getting home.
Banilla is froze but I have some ready so lets go...S.J.

Looks like the 'How to' reference post was either deleted or unfrozen from the top... wonder what happened there?
IT's A BOY!!!! Yes, Baby Buckeye is having a baby boy. Of course we have chosen the name: LIONEL. Gotta start looking for that first train set.
RT...Haven't forgotten. Just need to get some peanuts to pack the trains.
Phish.....Have you ever heard of the MOONVILLE TUNNEL? Wes, how about you?
Beautiful snowy night. Cars are in the ditch. It would be perfect if the power would go out, too.

Happy evening for you tonight?????
Another nice day here. Maybe hit 60. Cooler tomorrow.
Son's first soccer game tomorrow night. He made the HS JV team.
Hope all are well!
Regards, Roy
Roy,
If you are in need of a little sunscreen for the soccer game Don or I might be able to spare some.
Congrats Buckeye!
Brent, prayers for Suzie
Bob - sorry for your loss, missed that before.
Banilla sounds good, but maybe some hot fudge on top? Tardis is warming up with the automatic starter, be there in a little bit....
Nothing like helping the boy study his hated algebra for his final tomorrow after a full day of work. Glad the van started tonight - the tires had flat spots from sitting so long. Glad also I left from the North Western station rather than Union Station where Amtrak apparently derailed at the throat blocking all three commuter lines right at the beginning of rush hour. Happy to be working from home tomorrow - on what is supposed to be the coldest day here since '96. Maybe I'll get to play with the LED Kurt sent me. Prayers for Susan. Congrats to Gramps ... Lionel Buckeye has a nice ring to it.Brutus, the beacon is frozen... I'll send up a flare when you get near.
