Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a foggy 38 degrees. Looks gloomy. Only going up to 42 today.
Today, I have some errands to run and a few chores around the house. I guess that's a normal Monday. Starting to get the Christmas lights together to put outside. The Holidays are coming quickly.
May get a chance to run trains later. Had a few good hours over the weekend.
Time for breakfast in the Dining Car. Later.
Y'all have a great Monday.
Chuck
Good Morning,
Roy, Have a safe and enjoyable trip to NYC.
Colin, You have this old man confused? What game had two goals in overtime, I assume you mentioned the Eagles and then changed subjects?
Looks like everyone is getting ready for the Christmas season. I am working on my christmas train, sloooowly.
Rainy and cool, to be that way most of the week.
Off to the fitness center, then lunch with the HS Class of '57.

She's probably a " dough roller " at GRITS HEAVEN restaurants.
Good morning from a grey and cool Chicago where I am finally back in the office. Miss a day on this thread and there's a lot to catch up on. What is this Ohio State-Michigan thing? Is it the name of an old interurban line? The only American Football games I am aware of involve da Bears or a team from South Bend, Indiana.We had a busy weekend. The bride and middle son were in a drama at church yesterday. I was on the main camera. That is a like a fun relief from video directing all of the cameras. The daughter had her electronic baby doll from her health class - the thing was weirdly realistic: it would cry regularly even overnight and she would have to care for it. The head was on gimbals and would roll back if not supported, deducting points. It certainly has shocked her and her friends about the care a real baby needs. Good thing.John and Jon, I love your videos. That Shay is impressive. I think YouTube has a 10 min. limit.Welcome, cooltech!Don, I always put up our Christmas decorations right after Thanksgiving. I was shocked to see all the Christmas decorations up in the big city buildings / train station in Chicago this morning: trees, lights, music, very weird to me. Must have done them over the weekend.
Mitch, I am thrilled about the adoption of Brian. We'll keep him and his new family in our prayers. All three of our kids are adopted.John Baker, I think you could still fit O gauge in your space. Remember whatever you decide to fill that space, you're always welcome on this forum. I regularly buy some British modeling and prototype magazines at our local book-seller: they are fantastically expensive now. I built a British outline layout when I was in N scale using Tomix Thomas the Tank engine trains. I love reading about the train parades at Rainhill. I wonder how they stopped the Rocket without brakes.The bride wants to go out East for Christmas to visit my family. Five plane tickets and a rent-a-car will be a killer financially and I don't relish all jamming into my parent's house for nearly a week, but it is very important to her. We'll see what I can work out. Have a good day all.

John, while I am a coffee drinker first, especially in the a.m., I do enjoy hot tea in the afternoons and evenings. Usually black tea but often green tea. I don't know about the health benefits, anti-oxidants and all that, I just enjoy it. Let me also encourage you to give O a chance. You can do a lot with O-27 track in a small space.

In fact, he owns four or five Lloyd Carrs.

or a sweet tea taster at the Roseyville Juicer Bar and Grits Grill
BTW, the game starts at 3:30 pm EST on Saturday. The emergency rooms will be empty. Crime is put on hold. Stores will be closed. All TVs will be up and running. Traffic around Ohio will decrease to a trickle. The airports will be shut down. The trains will stop running, but during half time, the sewage plants are kicked into overtime. The brewery in Columbus is working overtime this week to make sure there is an adequate supply.

Actually a Lawyer for the State of NC. That makes her ten times better than any lawyer in Ohizo. Now for a box of those chocolate Buckeyes, I will switch and shout for Ohizo State.

We already gave you a box of the chocolate and peanut butter Buckeyes. Typical politician always wanting more and more.

So many roads, so little time.
Good afternoon everyone,
I just got in the door from driver's ed a few minutes ago.
Jefelectric I was on the topic of the Eagles game, but then Mike C brought up the topic about the MLS soccer game, so sorry if I confused you.
Nothing going on here, I am going to finish up some homework. Be back on later.
I was sent these by email. I thought they were real cute:
I think they go along with some kids I know from New England, well, mabe a couple in South Georgia too.
Kids in Church:
3-year-old Reese:"Our Father, Who does art in heaven,Harold is His name.Amen."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A little boy was overheard praying:"Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.I'm having a real good time like I am."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After the christening of his baby brother in church,Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car.His father asked him three times what was wrong.Finally, the boy replied,"That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home,and I wanted to stay with you guys."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin,the Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime.She would repeat after me the lines from the prayer.Finally, she decided to go solo.I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word,right up to the end of the prayer:"Lead us not into temptation," she prayed,"but deliver us from E-mail.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~One particular four-year-old prayed,"And forgive us our trash basketsas we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A Sunday school teacher asked her children as theywere on the way to church service,"And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"One bright little girl replied,"Because people are sleeping."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-oldbrother, Joel, were sitting together in church.Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud.Finally, his big sister had had enough."You're not supposed to talk out loud in church.""Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.Angie pointed to the back of the church and said,"See those two men standing by the d o or?They're hushers."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3.The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake.Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson."If Jesus were sitting here, He would say,'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,"Ryan, you be Jesus!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A father was at the beach with his childrenwhen the four-year-old son ran up to him,grabbed his hand, and led him to the shorewhere a seagull lay dead in the sand."Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked."He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied.The boy thought a moment and then said,"Did God throw him back down?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A wife invited some people to dinner.At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said,"Would you like to say the blessing?""I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied."Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered.The daughter bowed her head and said,"Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
Good evening everyone,
Doug,
Enough on the Michigan-Ohio thing for a while. BTW over on the other forum they are having a big discussion about the Rutgers Car being canceled.
Brought home my latest acquisition today. An MTH Reading T-1, 4-8-4. I love it, runs great, sounds great. looks great. Going to use it to pull my K-line 18" passenger cars. This is my birthday present to myself, since I will be 68 tomorrow.
It rained most of the day here. At the moment it has stopped, but doesn’t look like it will last.
Had a nice lunch with HS Class of 57. We meet once a month alternating lunch and dinner. Had 27 there today. Our class had only 105 so that is pretty good considering we live all over the USA. Would you believe this,we had as guests today, the 2nd and 3rd grade teachers that taught most of us. They are sisters, one is 90 and the other is 86. The 90 year old still bowls once a week. She told us that two years ago she fell and damaged her right rotator cuff and now bowls left handed. Now that is true grit!
John ( jefelectric )..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW....That story of the left handed bowler was " TRUE GRIT " !!
JOHN !! And many many more !! I won't be here till later tomorrow, but wanted to be one of the first ones !!
Well, today after work I went to help a friend plan to build a layout for Christmas for his Grandsons !! They got the PennsyFlyer set & an expansion set. We got it going on his ping pong table & boy, was it loud. He is going to put it on plywood & homosote, like I do & I'm sure it will be fine. Making it an L shape with 2, 4x8s. Going to be lots of fun.
Chief : great jokes there !!
Now, Go Buckeyes !!
Thanks, John
THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH.
That story of the left handed bowler was amazing. Some of those nuns are tough cookies.
Thanks guys for all the congratulatory notes on Brian joining our family. My wife is really jealous becasue her sisters in Florida got to meet Brian first. My parents, my sister, brother-in-law and Brian went to dinner tonight at my wife's sister's house in St Petersburg, FL. We are going to my sister's house in Maryland over the weekend to help prepare the nursery for Brian's arrival. We are also beginning to plan what we will do for Thanksgiving if part of my family is still in Florida next week. Hopefully the courts will work thoroughly and quickly to get all the paperwork completed. Once Brian is checked out by the Dr on Wednesday, they will be able to travel to the Florida/Georgia border waiting for final word so they can take Brian home.
Take care,
