Dennis - OUCH! Glad you didn't do more damage, take it easy man!
No trains for me today or probably tomorrow either. Moved all my wife's boxes of ornaments and stuff out of the storage room, so they are all stacked up around my little layout Son and I got the drywall all up in the storage area though. Tomorrow, we'll mud and tape that area and try the sponge thing. Once it's done, we'll put the shelves back and then my wife will go through her stuff and organize it all (I hope)
Watching the Assassination Bureau - great old comedy!
Doug, I happened on that channel the other day and saw some stuff from the Bugaloos, Banana Splits and H. R. Pufenstuff. MAN! Sid and Marty Kroft must have been smoking something back then, those shows were surreal!
Time for the last cup of the day. Hope everyone is well and those in the North are keeping warm. It didn't look like the Eagles came to play in the first half and they didn't have enough to catch up in the second. Maybe we can have one PA team in the Super Bowl. This is actually a pretty boring game.
All have a super week.
Good evening everyone! Well, my last night off call for the week and I had better get some rest. Big day tomorrow.
During early church, had to man the main camera as scheduled person was in the choir. Since it had been a "Jump in there" case, I didn't have a good place to leave my Bible and coat. I just left them on the inside of the wall to the media booth in the center. After services, I attempted to retrieve them and as I was leaning over the railing, heard a crack and felt a pop in my chest....yep, broke a rib. Nocked the wind out of me for a little, but Oh well, not much to do for it.
Patrick, don't own a farm, have some land down here and do watch RFD. Have a horse that we keep in Texas as he is a cutting horse and until recently, was a competition animal. Do have some friends up that way who also have horses. He is a secret service agent assigned to PD-DC. She is a equestrian trainer.
Well, had better head off to bed. Need to catch up on sleep.
God Bless,Dennis

Back from the lake house early [came back at 3:00 PM]. Furnace guy was suppose to come yesterday and service the furnace [gas pack] as it had acted up once while we were there. Called and begged off late yesterday and came this AM [messed up our early breakfast buffet and Church we were going to visit]. He broke it and did not have a replacement part. We came home. Is not suppose to go below freezing tonight so no danger there. Do have to drive back tomorrow afternoon for him and miss free steak dinner [Mayor's Assoc.].
Welcome To PATRICK. Glad to have a REB to help fight those Yankees.
Off to bed and rest. Good night all.

Back from church - we were disappointed there weren't more folks there to listen to a good vision about the future of our church.. Right when I was thinking 'what am I doing here', the pastor's wife came up to ask if she could sit with us - she is super-shy and doesn't know many folks yet - so I was glad to be there if only to give her some people to sit with... getting ready for work tomorrow. Putting the youngest to bed, cleaning up the kitchen, etc. Hope to make it to the basement to run a train or two before running out of energy. ;)

Well, no more worries about an all PA superbowl. Now, to see if PA is represented at all.
My preference is for the Steelers for sure.
kpolakSorry couldn't make out to see Sir James and Charlie
Always better safe than sorry!!!! Was a good show..but there will be more

Afternoon all!
Watching the ballgame, and home made pizza!
Sorry couldn't make out to see Sir James and Charlie...I got on M-14 and it was all ice, all the other roads were just wet. I saw 6-7 cars stuck in the medians and roadsides with people still in them...that was enough for me...Turned around and went home.
I guess I'll need to wait for the Feb 16 show here for more scenery material.
Kurt
Nascar......Tony Stewart is driving a Chevy this year. He is happy about it. I think he will do well. Jr. is due for some big wins. J.J. has his work cut out for him. But, he is a very good driver.
Chuck
Howdy, Kurt didn't make it, sorry to have missed him, had a part for him. Afraid to mail it might get destroyed. We lost a part from his GG1 and I can't find it so I bought him a new one and was going to give it to him today. But he had some open road to travel and said things were real bad. Our local roads were wet but very good considering the snow we had yesterday. The show was crowded with all scales present. I spent $7.50, two plastic coal loads for 027 hoppers and a Flyer conversion coupler for my Royal Blue. I forgot to mention the coupler on another forum, all well no big deal. S.J.
Lawson - Check out www.jayski.com for your daily NASCAR fix.
cnw1995 - I've been a Jr fan sine '97, and like the look of the Mountain Dew car. He's my pick to win the 500.
fifedog - Thanks for the come back. For me, aggressive driving is what makes racing, well racing. Like Dale Sr. in the old # 3 a few years back. In my mind the M & M boy would have won the championship last year if it wasn't for bad luck in the first 3 races of the Chase. He will give the # 48 a good run again this year. As to the # 43, I dont have an inkling what is going on.
Smoke will do just fine, both as an owner and a driver.
How about Joey Logano in the # 20 and Denny Hamlin in the # 11? Joe Gibbs has been impressive both with the Redskins and NASCAR.
cnw1995 - I agree, Junior is overdue. Didn't do to badly last year, made the Chase at least. More than Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman can say.

Afternoon all. Back from church - served on camera all morn - now have a few hours - before going back to hear more vision-casting from our pastor - bride is making chili to take though (yum!) 'Course he scheduled this for three weeks straight right in the middle of the NFL playoffs. Sigh. Sunny here and 18 - feels so warm - really! Roy, it's funny how the body gets used to temps - if it was 38 here, it would feel so so so warm. Don, I am so jealous of that British train DVD - they are hard to find here ! Brutus, those are great cartoons - I ran across Wacky Racers the other day on some channel called Boom or KaBoom. I just know Junior is going to have a gr88t year!
Lawson - Yes, "Shrub" is certainly an aggressive wheelman, and certainly as polarizing as Hillary at the racetrack. Neither Busch-brat has been a positive image though. The 48 team will be hard to beat right out of the box, due to the ban on testing. I will be rooting for SMOKE in his new venture, and personally think the Old Spice paint scheme is one of the best looking for '09. Still, will be a different look at the track, with my 43 changing hands, TEXACO gone, and Bobby in the 96 (what's up with that...)
Hey, just cleaned the train room finished the (my)laundry and vacuumed. Need to get my coffee, watching the >ugh< Rangers and >ugh<Penguins, Pens just scored, hope the Rangers (rags) loose. Devils beat Islanders last night and the Blue Jackets (sorry Buckeye) the night before. Hope to get more time in the train room, need to download somemore pictures and get some on SPF.
Check ya later!

#48, J. J. !
Kinda quiet this morning, notice it gets that way when Chief and Buckeye are out of town.
Picked-up some NIB Atlas 6bay hoppers at a very good price, they are nice.
need to refill the mug........

fifedog - A NASCAR fan. Great! Lets see if I can get something started here by saying Kyle Bush is the most exciting driver to watch. Any comments from Dale Jr. fans? What will happen to Tony Stewart this year? Will Jimmy Johnson make it four in a row?As to DCS interference from the metal in my train building, I don't know. It is a wood frame building with vinyl siding. Good thought though.Patrick L
Patrick - NASCAR fan here. You may be getting interferance from the metal in your building.
Good Morning All, or should I say you all:
dbaker48 - Thanks for the welcome. I do consider myself to be a Southerner, although I was transplanted here from Iowa 52 years ago. So GRITS sound great to me!
I am glad to hear I am not the only one who starts out to work on the layout and winds up running trains. Sounds like my afternoon yesterday. I was running two trains on two separate loops, each with its own DCS remote, when error messages started appearing on both remotes. Such messages as To far from the TIU (2'?), Cannot locate engine, Engine not on track, Etc. And the bell, horn, smoke buttons wouldn't work. Finally had to clear the memory from both remotes and reload the information. That worked. Reminded me of my computer - they have a mind of their own at times.
Watched RFD-TV last night - Crook and Chase, The Marty Stuart Show, Midwest Country, Classic Country Hour. Sure am glad we have Satellite, to much Inaugural coverage, I guess because we are only 45 miles from Wash. DC.
Any other train people out there that are farmers? Would love to hear from you. We would then have two interests in common.
How about NASCAR fans? RFD-TV fans? Country music Fans? Run an Internet business?
15 degrees this AM and the tractor wouldn't start. Had to take the space heater from the shop and put it under the blanket over the tractor. That worked after 20 min. The cows were happy to here the tractor start up, they knew hay was coming.
dwiemer, cnw1995, sir james 1, Jim, jimtrumpie, anjdevil2, lionroar88 - Thanks for the Welcome. I promise to post some pictures in the near future.
jefelectric - I got your email, thanks. I will answer it soon.
Catch you all later.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a snowy 30 degrees. Dropping to 22 degrees today. We will have snow flurries all day. Looks beautiful outside.
Today is an easy day. There are two football games today. And I will run trains for awhile this afternoon. Nice dinner is planned. Feels good to relax.
Dining car was here and then headed to " Points West". Had the usual for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Sunday.
Lucky page 13, eh? We'll see....
Good morning! Made some scrambled eggs with some bits of salami and some american cheese. Daughter made toast. Son supervised. Now I'm watching Fringe on hulu and doing the rounds while kids watch some horrible cartoon - super lame. Not like Hong Kong Fuey or Wacky Racers or Fury or Flash Gordon reruns we used to watch
Drywall project day. Also, wife wants a new light over the entertainment center. We'll see. Need to run trains.
Mornin' boys. 29 and SNOHIZO apparently up in the sky, just not makin' it to terra-firma. Best part of the SWEET 16 bash, was the last dance with my "Kitty" to Baby I'm Amazed by You...4 PAWS UP!
laz - It's ALI vs FRAZIER tonight. My keys to a RAVENS victory : 1)Offensive line better find a way to keep MR HARRISON off the rookie; 2) Deffensive secondary better account for MR WARD in the middle of the 4th quarter.
dbaker - Why not build the city over and about the railroad. Instead of mountain passes, you'll use buildings and structures as view blocks...and think of the money/time you'll save on trees.
mitchie - Glad to read things are slowin' down for you...
Mornin' FellasFirst off - Patrick. I would like to second, third, or forth that request for layout palace pics! Jon is right about the TCA, Fife, Mitch, Jon, Laz, Texas Bill and I are the regulars now from the CTT Boards at York, we've had the pleasure of meeting Don 'Shake N Bake' Baker, Buckeye, Wes, and Chief (not at York) from the boards there. Great time if you can make it!I've been busy in the train room this week. I started construction on another cliff, constructed the second of two timber frame trestle bridges, removed a section of sub-roadbed for the curved trestle bridge, and cleared off the third level so I can start planning the mountain-top coal mine area and trackage. The most important improvement was moving the light switches out of the train room into the main basement area. The switches were partially blocked by the layout this made it difficult to turn the lights on and off. Total project time to move three switches - 1 hour! No electrocutions either! No updates on the Susie-Q job front. Her company did receive a large order and check but they haven't restored salaries or hours! They seem to be waiting for the outcome of 3 events over the next two weeks. Hopefully either she'll have a new job, or the current job will smooth out by the end of Feb. She has said she'll continue to search if these two potential jobs don't pan out. She needs something more stable.
