Never too late, Mike - it's a time machine and space ship, lol! Be right back, trying to fix something....
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good evening all,
It was all kinds of weather in SE Indiana today but mostly cold. Did the YMCA thing. Worked on taxes and Fafsa today. Got a possibly nasty surprise on taxes for Lucas, but will have to check out tomorrow for sure before hitting panic button. Wife is watching the Oscars. I had pancakes and sausage for breakfast on the dining car this morning. I would send it down south but the last time it got derailed. Beacon is lit. Hope it is not too late. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

The site is really dragging it's feet this afternoon.
Some are watching NASCAR, some are at their lake cottage, some are placing pictures on the weekend picture thread, some are looking for "I Love OH" cars, some are on the Tardis, and some are actually working on their layouts!

just think what would it been like if bergie didn't save us friday and have all the long threads start over again
Roger your right!
Wonder what the Dial Up people will blame it on this time
Blueberryhill RR It is a snowy 24 degrees. Got about 2 inches of the white stuff last night. Going up to 30 today, with a few more flurries. Today is the Nascar race from CA. Fontana. I plan on watching that. Maybe in the train room , while I run some trains. Otherwise, just an easy day. Chuck

Afternoon all!
Chuck - sunny and 50's here. Nothin better than cars and trains going in circles - no wonder toy train buffs tend to be NASCAR fans also.
I think I just got my dual router network going here. This will allow me to drop the Time-Warner cable account. Before I do that I have to manage my e-mail over to AT&T (next challenge that I am sure will eat up another 5 -10 hours of time - isn't the internet great?).
While I was researching and experimenting with the router setups - I was watching the original "The Day the Earth Stood Still" on the Fox Movie Network." The kid pulls a nice under-the-bed Lionel layout out from under his bed (who knew the movie was about toy trains - eh!) and there is a stalled New Haven electric loco and SF Super Chief train when they kill all the earths power for 30 min. Great show! When I was a kid, the local movie theater (The old Bellaire in Houston) showed a double or triple feature set of old B horror and science fiction flicks on Sat mornings for 25 cents, so I got to see a lot of these old movies on the big screen. Great fun sitting in the balcony and tossing popcorn in a theater full of kids.
Hope everyone is having a great day today.
Regards, Roy
Kurt, I've always used de-natured alcohol. Rubbing alcohol will work on rubber so I do not use it. Left you a message on SPF. Good job.

dougdagrump Kurt, Most any cleaner that does not leave any kind of residue should do it. Personally my preference would be de-natured alcohol, the only thing is it will really dry out your hands unless you wear some rubber/latex gloves.

Thanks DougDG! For the cleaner suggestion and the props. I'll try the alcohol on the next one.

Good afternoon guys,
We went to a gun show in York yesterday, in what is the Orange Hall during the TCA show. It was packed and they were selling big time. Then stopped at Cool Trains on the way home and my buddy and I picked up a bunch of HO bargains from a lot of used and mostly unused stuff that the owner had just purchased. We were the first ones to go through the boxes and got some great buys.
Today was busy also, went to early church, then breakfast with friends, then to visit FIL at nursing home, then back to church for chicken and waffle dinner. Now relaxing and letting that wear off.
I must get busy and add some stuff to my train inventory. Would like to check out insurance as I have none on train items at this point other than home owners content insurance.
Buckeye, You will have to recruit Laz to supply the beer bottles for the pervious pavements.
cnw1995 Brutus' ceiling fan gives me an idea. I can ask the restorers what it'd cost to tap into the ceiling power cable I can see so I could hang a light in the dining room. It's never had one.

If they can find it. Easy. I have been putting up ceiling fans with light kits. With the new remotes, you can turn on light without fan, fan without light or both.
That building really looks sweet, especially the deterioration around the bottom.

Nice chat with Sir J, Brutus and RT last night. Glad they had the patience to help me set up. Brutus' ceiling fan gives me an idea. I can ask the restorers what it'd cost to tap into the ceiling power cable I can see so I could hang a light in the dining room. It's never had one.

Afternoon all. Went to SS and then Wally World. Then to Lowes and came out with $100+ sales receipt. Seems I can not leave that store with out spending less than $100 and not have a basket full. Now to load most of in the back seat area of my pickup to take to the lake house. Did get gas grill [came with the house] cleaned and operating. Been ignored as far as maintenance went. Do have to replace the boards on the side "table" and front dropdown "table". Just mainly needed a good cleaning and getting HOT. Burned for a while after I turned the gas off. As it sits on front deck, I got a cover for it. Burners were in great shape. Should be OK now.
Buckeye, got you text message. BTW: seems a lot of the RARE I Love OH box cars are on the auction sites for $10. NC Box Cars are going for $20.
No Snohio here. Never got that cold. Sunny and warming fast. Well, go to get upstairs and finally slide all the Christmas tubs under layout. Later
That OHIO car is on S.J. rails, check pot page 2 for more pictures posted by Charlie...S.J.
