I sold him some stuff once and he was looking for anyway to save on shipping and it wasn't much to start with hes a tight one when it comes to a dollar. But you have to be to run a bussiness. And with the new ebay fees and rules where you have to use paypal or some type of electronic payment system it getting to expensive to use them for the common joe unless you just want to get rid of some items and not worried about your final dollar out of it.
well beacon on and I'm out of here take care all will see you all later.

Evening all. Raining all day. Getting lots colder. Just finished supper, put the youngest to bed, cleaned up and then studied with the middle boy. Just realized there's one of his teachers I've never heard from. Gotta track him down tomorrow. He's apparently got an ortho appt in the middle of school to get his knee looked at - just got the bill for the immediate care visit last week. Thank goodness for some insurance! Hope to read the paper for a while and run some trains while the rest of the planet watches Lost. That is quite the price, Doug.

Wow, you are right Doug! Not sure what it would normally go for, but I figure that decimal needs to move over a digit. I notice it had only one view before it was purchased. I'd have to jump on that deal. Of course they would probably want to back out of the sale, and I guess I'd have to give it to them as it is an obvious mistake.
Was a productive night. Fixed a "Lackawanna Express" boxcar that needed new trucks on it. One thing about purchasing from a reputable train store, the car arrived with the broken truck. The Train-Station sent me a set to replace both trucks. Customer service seems to be lacking in so many of the purchases we make these days, good to see it does still exist. I also have a SOO switcher from the late 70s that has a broken coupler. I picked up a new one and will make it an operating coupler, but will have to do a little work on it. I tried to work on the Polar Express tender, but will have to replace the whole truck assembly. Oh Well.
Have a great night,Dennis

Jon....The Honda you own was probably made in East Liberty, OHIO by a bunch of farmers. Every year Honda has a homecoming and their motorcycles are all over Central Ohio on tours.
Storm roared through Central Ohio. Haven't seen any damage, but when it gets light in the morning, who knows what we will see.
Eagles are all over OHIO, living in the trees, catching fish and dining on rodents. Mmm...living in trees, catching fish and dining on rodents....... I guess they are not much different than the Eagles of Roseyville, NC.

Evening Folks,
Just dropping in for a quick cup. As usual busy at work. Feeling somewhat better, not need the inhaler on a regular basis. Nurse at school checks my lungs for me on a regular basis. Weather here has been delightful, now they are calling for the proverbial wintry mix over the weekend. I guess Spring is not here quite yet.
Filled out my registration card for the York Meet tonight. Will drop in the mail tomorrow.
Take care
Mitch

Hey just a quick post while dinner is burning....
Jon - no harm no foul. I rode only Hondas up to last year when I bought a V Star 650 and loved it. Saw a chance to jump on a Harley. THinking of going back to the Honda....

Afternoon all!
Took the kids out to indoor playplace this am, and off to get Birthday present for 4-yo's friend at school. All finished with present, and card, and valentines gifts for the kiddies!
Now onto dinner.
I'll turn the beacon on early just in case you're in the neighborhood. Did you realize that beacon is one letter away from bacon???...MMmmmmmm bacon! Maybe BLT's tonight!

Jack--point of clarification, my son and I both ride Honda's, HD is too rich for my budget plus theres the reliability factor (RICH no harm intended so don't flame me). I have owned Asian bikes since 1969 except for one major slip up in '71 when I owned a 650 Triumph-------the engine seized with my brand new wife on the back in 1972, when the engine seized the chain stopped and locked the rear wheel going 60 MPH for about 50', pulled in the clutch and that released the engine/chain, super scary. Sold the bike after the 2nd time it happened after they supposedly "fixed it".
HD is much better now than it's ever been as far as reliability is concerned but IMO way overpriced when compared to the competition. It's much like owning a John Deere tractor, you are paying a lot for that green paint
Jon
So many roads, so little time.
I was surprised that they didn't sell better, just wonder what kind of marketing plan they had. Seems like if it was numbered right you could sell a cow pattie at the tracks.
Good Afternoon All from windy Southern Ohio
I’ve had a pretty busy day so far. Cleaned house, washed my car, had a meeting and did some maintenance at church. I got some parts at radio shack for a spotlight repair job, and need to re-caulk the shower. Old caulk removed yesterday.
GregM – I have been saying a prayer for fair employment during the special intentions during Mass for weeks now, and I have Faith it is working
Chief - You feeling better?
A little work then a little play
May God bless
Jim
RT - .net worked. But you know, .net is the web site you gave me yeaterday. All I can say is, I have a good memory - it is just short!
RFD-TV --- Rural America's most important network!
my bust its www.hobbystation.net
RT - I tried to get to www.hobbystation.com and keep coming up with 1, 2, 3 reg.co.uk, a domain name registration web site. Did you have any better luck?
I don't have any Lionel engines, but have heard they are under powered, at least the engines in the sets.
Patrick L
Patrick good deal now for the newer numbers don't hold your breath as Lionel had a time selling what it made. I think they probably think and probably are right as train collector most aren't into Nascar or what they probably really should be thinking but aren't if we made fewer but of higher quality at least on the engines they would have done better.
WWW.Hobbystation.net is a good deal there may be some others also but like anything shop befor you buy it can save you $$
Don, I saw those mountains too yesterday from Glendora while out walking. They are beautiful now. I have not seen them with that much snow in a long time. Back in the early 60's we had a lot of rain and snow like that.
Have to do something about cleaning my pool today. Filter needs cleaning out in order to get more suction on vacumn. Lots of windblown dirt to get out. I hate to fool around with the pool while the water is so cold but have no choice.
Chief, glad you're posting again. Hope your Doc can fix your cough.
Ran trains yesterday with no crashes. N&W class A and NYC Hudson got workouts. Ran my kit built Walthers passenger cars with the Hudson that I built many years ago before all the stuff we have now was available. They still look good but those old Walthers trucks need bushings to keep the axle points from drilling holes in the soft metal castings. I built 5 cars for NYC and three more lettered for N&W. I still have a Walthers 80 ft. dinning car to build but don't know if I ever will.
Have to get out now and take my walk. Been trying to walk more between rainy days.
Later, Ray
SPMan
Jack, I heard on the radio yesterday that the reason dog shows have such a following is that it is addictive. If this is the case, you may need to work on the 12 step program.
As to waiting on the new guy, yeah, it will be a much needed relief.
Good Afternoon, Ya'll,
Got a call from Great Grandma last night. Not happy. Still waiting for pictures from Christmas. Got to get going on that.
Dennis.....I have trouble getting back to sleep after a middle of the night interruption like yours and then am dragging the whole next day. In my case, the puppy's evacuation schedule is off despite a strict timing regimen with food and water. Will have to dicker with the schedule. T minus two weeks and counting until you can get back down to a measely 12 hour workday and fewer middle of the night road trips to the hospital.
Chief.....hope you are recovering nicely. I have to agree with the others. The cause of your illness was probably your hooch. I accidentally spilled a shot of it down the drain last night and it ate right through the pvc.
Don.......moving the wife from her existing hobby to another that doesn't require my participation. HMMMMM. Just how do you go about doing that without causing suspicion? I'm willing to pay for your advice.
Greg.......things are heating up for you . Keep the hammer down and our prayers will get you over the top. I agree with your observation about the move away from family. Plus, living near Laz' neck of the woods might be too expensive. Think of all the guns, ammo, and Ole Mils you would have to buy.
Laz.....send your 60 degree weather to your right and up.
MikeC....hope the saucy wench is back to full and equal strength today.
Jon.....interesting post about the eagles....." Last year on the upper Mississippi near LaCrosse, WI area we had two eagles fly over on our bikes-----it was awesome." Gives new meaning to the term "if pigs could fly," only this time it was hogs. Shouldn't have left your bikes unattended like that. Bikejackers!
DougDG......temps in the 20s in Southern California. Now that is scary.
DougM......ah, yes, the good old days when the Can Am cars were running no holds barred and there was no substitute for cubic inches.
Patrick....better you than me on the grocery shopping front. When I come home from the grocery store, I get chastised for buying all of the sinful things she told me were not on the list and that she had told me not to buy because she would eat them. At least she doesn't chastise me with her mouth full (of the goodies). But if I agree with her that she shouldn't have them while trying to take them away from her...... almost bit my head off more than once.
Later, gang.
Jack
IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Well, case is done, I will be heading home. Have to stop by to pick up some Dove chocolate as that is our usual fair for Valentine's Day. I had bought a heart-box filled with it for when I proposed to the bride, so it continues. Have to do it today as the next few days have some big cases and not sure I will get the chance.
Rich, glad you surfaced. Was getting concerned. Hope you feel better. Make sure you take some time for yourself.
Brent, yeah, I may be making York this year! Just gotta work out final details, but if nothing unexpected happens, I will be there. Have some friends I need to catch up with. I plan on driving up, so I can fill the trunk up I only wish wife could be there, as I usually can/do buy more when she is present.
Gotta run,
dennis
One suggestion .... I ran about every virus program out there ... finally found " AVAST " it's free ... updateable for free ... and I've never had a virus since ! Stops trojans and viruses in their tracks . All you have to do is register it .... no strings and they give you the unlock/registering code free ! http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Believe me I had norton and all the pay all the time programs and they WERE NOT BETTER !
Good Morning All:
Up to 70 and sunny today here in Central Virginia. Good southern weather. Got to grill something today, something that takes several hours sitting and watching on the deck. Probably dig out some 10 year old issues of CTT. With my memory, they will be like new issues.
RT and Chief - While I am here, I want to thank you for putting me on to hobbystation.net and Choochooauctions.com for NASCAR. I purchased the Dale Jr. train and the Stewart Expansion set.
This brings up a question - Does anyone know if NASCAR trains are out yet for the new rides, Dale Jr. 88, Kyle Bush 18, Stewart 14?
Our daughter had the laser thing done and it worked great for her. I was her "seeing eye dog" when it was done, be aware that you mite take a bit of ribbing afterward. To protect the eyes for 24 hrs you have to wear these gaurds over your eyes that make you look as though you are turning into a fly. Needless to say my sil and I had some fun with the jokes.
cnw1995 Brent, you need new glasses?
Brent, you need new glasses?
Mornin' Boys,
Thanks for checkin' up on me Chief.....
Been really busy with work and the Princess....it's tough running the house and the kid and everything else, wearing me out...plus now I have fluid in my ears and couldn't sleep because of the meds....Is it Saturday yet?
Not much going on on the train front, haven't even been able to sit in the room, much less turn 'em on.
This too, shall pass...
See ya inna bit!
Rich
Thanks Chief, a gift from you is always welcome.
