Good morning all
Sunny and 50s today. Back from the Dr. appointment, lung c-scan wed. and then follow up next week. He took an xray, thinks it's mu'cus but wants to be sure.
We too have a retiree that does nothing all week and early on sunday mornings through the summer out he comes on his Sears tractor to mow his suburban size lawn.
Well most of this morning is gone already and I'm not sure about the rest of today. Time will tell.

First thing, find out if he loves GRITS. If he does, let him in. If the doesn't, kick him to the curb. BTW: I have a true Italian lady living here. Made school buses go into their neighborhood and pick up kids instead of on main highway. She has promised to teach me some Italian and cook me some real Italian dishes.

Good Morning from still sunny NE FLA!
Still about 69F now up to 78, "supposed" to rain later, yeah sure, whatever....
Saturday was busy at the train store, more stuff going out the door and more repairs being made. I actually am going to try to do a little "side" business for toy train repair, and we'll see how that goes.....
Got a call from a good friend from HFD, found out another HFD guy I know has "retired" in Palm Coast, so spent the day with them. And a nice day it was Kicked the bull around for a while had lunch there and a good time was had by all. Safe to say, I may make a return trip there soon!
Repaired a FT today at work (yep, it's slow), put stuff on choo choo this am to get it out the door soon.
Have a great day!

Good Morning,
Sunny and near 72 again, still no chance of rain today.
Got my computor back from the store, said that a RAM chip was knocked out of place and that was why it would'nt do anything. In my opion don't buy E Machines as it seems to be cheaper in quality than the trash I throw out!
Going for MRI tomorrow morning and to see about getting a new pair of glasses.

Mornin' boys. Damp and 40 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Back to night work. Should be fun tomorrow... Boy came over with his little one. Ran tanker train (thanks to anjdevil), and found out that a KLine Pennsy caboose with the roof mounted antenna won't slide under viaduct...guess I'll be hearing from the conductor's atty...
rt - Easy does it...
dwiemer - Rent Enemy At The Gate.
kpolak/MichRR - Both good lookin' fellers.
88 ---> (Although I think it's a little early...?)
Morning all stayed home today as had some minor chest paind off and on last night. Might of been from picking up both the cat liter (25LBs) and the Cat food (17LBS) at one time and putting on shoulder last night might of twisted wrong as feeling better now but woke up a few times last night becasue of it and this morning was still a little sore.
Not much else going on so will talk to you all later

Morning all. Charlie, nice picture. I knew I had seen you somewhere. Rainy and rainy. Over two inches. Rolling in pond and rolling out. Dumped a bag of lime in at run in [where two branches come together] and it went right out into the pond. Busy day. Meeting at lunch, 4 PM meeting at Legislature, 6 PM Mayors' Assoc. [free steak] and then home by 10 or so. Ran trains this AM. No accidents [never is]. Good Legacy signal strength with added antenna. Later
BTW: Charlie, Post Office is where I have seen your picture.

Morning all. Sunny and supposed to be pleasant today. Got a good night's sleep - great way to start the work week - Having a few meetings cancelled too - also good. Watched Desp Housewives with the bride last eve. Would've rather run trains but I need to remember it's important to hang out together. Didn't get to photograph the LNE visitor. Maybe tonight. Will definitely find excuses to walk around outside today!
Sir James .... talk about noisey neighbors .... I have a neighbor who must have telepathy ... every weekend morning I want to sleep in .... he gets his lousey chain saw out at daybreak ! He's retired yet ... has all the time in the world at a descent hour .
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the high 50s. "Housewives" was good as usual. Full plate at work today. I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast this morning. Beacon is lit. Lucas is out looking for a summer job today. IHEHAGD.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
BrutusCharlie was in the video, not Kurt, lol!
Yep it was my ugly mug in the video.
Chatted today with SJ and Brutus.. I also spent some time painting some of the hardshell on my layout.
Spring is in the air.... :)
We're watching Kelly's Heroes on dvd - great old movie!
Charlie was in the video, not Kurt, lol!
Was talking to Charlie, but he just logged out. Had a nice talk with Sir James and Charlie today and some with Doug too. Got some work done on the basement. Wet sponge sanded the mud job in the closet area. Let it set an hour and tried to go over with another layer of mud, but it didn't want to stick very well so I quit, figured it was still too damp from the sanding or something. I'll try again one night a little bit after work. Also need to get some replacement glass for a window, another of the old ones broke on its own - microfractures in the glass and not the responsibility of the company, I've been told :(
I'll try and get a little time off at lunch tomorrow and run over to the store for my John Bull
Tardis Time! Mike, we need some more zuchini bread or maybe banana bread?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Town Board is over. Was short. Town Manager is OK on his job. I have his complete loyality now. Things will be a lot better. Watching Jesse Stone. Seen it several times. Later.
Good evening all,
Kurts not old, sounds like he can cook, I never cared to cook, be eating frozen or fast food if ever left alone. I can make two eggs totally unrecognizable. Got to 55 today and out came everybody that had something noisy, radios, four wheelers, the works.
Well day is done except for some chat time with Brutus and Charlie. I had my banilla but there's more, bring your bowl. Tardis is loading. S.J.
Mike, congratulations on the W. Hope for another soon.
Bride wants her dining room table back. I have been using it to do some work on some engines and rolling stock. Oh well, guess we have to eat somewhere. I don't have anything scheduled for tomorrow, so perhaps I'll do it then. Rain has been coming down all day. I guess we need it. Had a good night service at church. I was on Camera 2 and we had a concert/plus sermon that ran about 45 minutes over time. It was tough on the old back. Think I'll take some meds and go to bed. Right now, been watching the battle of Stalingrad on Military Channel. A Sniper's war at it's worst/best.

fifedog kpolak - How come on video you look like such a young chap, and your avatar you look old like me...
I am old like you.
Evening all! Back from birthday dinner for Bride. We met at a friends house. I made Chicken Scallopini, and Creme Brulee, for 8. Friends made salad and pasta. Cooked chicken and sauce here, and warmed at 2nd house. Worked well!
Busy cooking most of the day, so just relaxing now.
Kurt
IIABSDISEI with the temps near 60. Greensburg won the regional for the first time in 25 years. Play Princeton next week for berth in state finals. Enjoyed "The Watchmen" last night. Dennis, definitely NOT like any movie your group would do, but it had some good messages as well. Not your typical comic book movie. Today after mass, Lucas and I went to the YMCA and did weights. Also did some soccer. At one point, we had a three on three game going. That was fun. Came home and ran the 384E upstairs. Ran for almost two hours with no pileups. Going to watch "Housewives" tonight. I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast this morning. IHEHAGD. Beacon is lit.
A beautiful day here - hanging with the youngest whilst the teens and bride are at church. Brutus, I think we have another few weeks to go on the house - the bride has her dining room back. I'm hoping for the kid's bathroom by the end of this week and then there's the carpet...
AH, quit raining for a few. May try to feed birds and deer. Just watched a movie on DVD with wife. Got called Town Board meeting at 7. Should not take long as Town Manager thing is basically handled.
Kurt, I really was hoping for the lamp...but it was not to be Wife and I were kidding about it on the way over to the ceremony. Son was asking all kinds of questions to which we danced around with the answer.
John, I have heard that about York. Have been told, if you see something you want, work your best deal and buy it. Don't expect to come back later...it won't be there.
Wife is currently watching the Disney Cruise DVD that our agent sent. She is working on our itinerary....I just furnish the $$$, she will take care of the rest. Glad York will be before the cruise.
Well, call starts in the morning and then it is back to the grind. With any luck we'll get some early days that will allow for some train time.
Doug, I am not scheduled for anything today, but we have Peter Sanchez and Impact here. They did the morning service, but tonight is to be more of a concert, so I was asked to work camera for that. Should be good, they are very talented.
Hope everyone has a blessed week ahead,Dennis

RT - I try to avoid crawling at all times. Bad enough scooting around under the layout on my automotive creeper! Getting old is H***. But it could be worse. Patrick

Why I used Soundstop. Can walk on and yet deadens the sound. Also cheaper. Here, 2" foam in big sheets has to be purchased from a special builiding supply as Lowes and Home Depot do not carry it that think. Not that cold here so no one buys it except contractors. BTW: It was used on our new SECU building. Not as insulation but as a sound proofing.
Afternoon all. Great chatting briefly with RT, Sir James and Brutus last eve. Was at a party for one of the bride's friends where I knew few people. Full morning on camera at church. Recruited a few guys to help in some spots. Battled through homework. Now to enjoy the rest of this pleasant afternoon!
RFD-TV --- Rural America's most important network!
Afternoon all. The smarties on #4 will be crying when it gets locked down. Raining and cold and raining and raining. Went to SS and then watched Church on TV. Then a Gene Autry movie came on. Went and watered greenhouse with Miracle Grow water. Got lots of tomatoes and squash plants up. Got three squash plants about to bloom along with a 2' tall tomato plant [started early]. Now to go upstairs and run trains. Got a K-Line die cast hopper in the mail. Looks like the others I have. Might get stuck here. Have a great day. Later
LawsonFarmsRRCSXectHere is a link to my blog with updated pics of layout under construction.http://vps2642.inmotionhosting.com/~modelr5/blog/2369 Hello Bruce:Your blog link works. Your layout is looking good. One suggestion, if its not to late, drill lots of holes in the interior 2"X4"s for running wires. Makes it a lot easier.My layout base is a lot like yours. I put a layer of 2" blue foam on top and painted it an earth color. Helps deaden the noise and makes it easy to make holes for trees, grass, fence posts, Etc. Just a suggestion or two. Patrick

Yes I was planing on drilling holes in the 2x4's for bus wires, also will be adding under the layout lighting as well.
Patrick left you a note on Pot #4
afternoon all you grit eaters. hows it going. fine here in S.C. just got up about hour or so ago. slept in. Not to much going on here bought 4 plasticville buildings last night on bay of E from one guy up in N.J. got a church, a barn, a passenger station, and a gas station. I already have new in box ( bought about 4 years ago ) 3 mobile homes with flag and pole. Guess I need to get some paint and glue as to customize these to my likings for my layout when it comes time. can always paint and then assemble when layout is being built.
Hey patrick I don't think the 2" blue foam would work with me as I figure there will be times I need to craw across my layout and I might squish it in places as I go across. but guess I'll be looking into this homosite the chief talks about. I'm also thinking of getting some foam and cut it to with of track and different thickness for the track to travel on and to elevate it as it goes up on to top of the small mountain I hope to have.

Boy is that TRUE, I did some but not enough! Great advice Patrick!!!
