Patrick, the star rating has a couple of flaws...first, if someone clicks on the box like we used to do to go to a link that you made the rating, if you click on the left hand side...it rates as one star. Secondly, it is now anonymous. Some cowards who take pleasure in ridiculing others...get their rocks off by rating others low. I personally have given up paying any attention to the stars.
Thanks Dennis for the explanation. I now see no reason to learn how to do the ratings. Don't like cowards.

Well, it was a long morning. Got ready for the case and the main pump on the heart/lung machine failed. Needless to say, I had the new guy step aside and I took over. With things not going right from the get go, wanted to make sure no other issues came along. Case went fine from then on, but certainly kept me on my toes.
Bride too son to allergist and I am home with the daughter. Hope wife gets home in time so I don't have to go to ballet..... oh the joys of fatherhood. Tired already, but still have plenty to get done. The forum is working OK right now, but lets hope it continues to do so.
God Bless,Dennis

Afternoon all!
MR has a similar thread that was at 59 pages this am, double the mess we made. No I'm not jumping ship, sorry to dissapoint, but trying to find information on that mystery loco.
Furnace back up! This am getting the 4-yo to school it felt cold in here...thermostat said 60. igniter was bad. Crack in the center. I was all over town trying to find a HVAC company that will sell parts to the public. Between companies being bought by other companies, and others deciding to go wholesale only...what a pain. I know who to call if I need major work done. Nice folks at this place.
On the train front, it looks like the mystery loco is S-scale manufactured by Rex trains, now Putt trains.
I have a wine rack to install this afternoon. Bride's birthday is this week, and that's what she wanted. It's here, so off I go.

I had to get my picture with Sir Hatt when he last visited the Illinois Railway Museum. Quite a guy.

Don, With regards to that rather funky car with a truck that doesn't want to turn, No problem. Just add some more glue so there is no chance of it ever turning then pull one axle from each truck converting it from a 4axle to a 2axle car. Mite look reall snappy with a Thomas & Friends set that way.
Speaking of Thomas, the event at the museum was a roaring success. I believe that there was a far greater turnout than anticipated, even with the relatively short notice. Had to move his reading area from our layout room to a much larger room next to us. Will have some photos to post later. Doubleheading of Thomas & Percy went great, only one incident when my grandson decided grampa was running them to fast. He slowed them way down and somehow, probably crossing a turnout, they got out of sync. Seemed to take forever to get them back, afterwards no more issue. Forgive me but I think the munchkin is going to be a rivet counter.
Brent, Good news on your dad.

What are you guys doing over here? You lost or something? With the Chief in the lead it makes sense you got lost.
On this star rating thing, I gust clicked on the stars and the rating changed to 2 1/2 stars. A coincidence? Just don't understand the rating system I guess.
Here we are again. Still no problem.
Good morning afternoon all:
Lost more than one hour today.
I see the Chef has worked his magic one more time. One difference this time - Pot # 4 hasn't been locked yet. To keep up I guess we need to read posts to both!
Questions - I noticed this thread has a 2 star rating. How does that happen on a one day old thread? And how are the rating made and by whom?
Gee Chief--thanks for the warm wishes, you old curmudgeon!
Fife--I think I worked myself out of my postpartumsunshinestatedepression this morning by planning this summer's motorcycle ride with my son We'll leave from his place in St. Paul and wind our way west through Rapid City/Mt Rushmore, Spearfish, Yellowstone, Jackson, Tetons,Beartooth range, etc. I spent about 3 hours this AM working with Google's map planning, what a neat tool. Looks like I'll be adding Montana and Idaho to my riding map history this summer, we'll do the whole thing in 7 days with the worst day being just over 400 miles and two of those nights will be in the same location--Jackson Hole. I need to find out if there are any narrow gauge trains in the area, Buckeye?
Don B.--when you get done customizing Chief's boxcar feel free to send it on, I have a special location for it
One last day of chilly weather today here in the Heartlands, spring makes an appearance for the next several days, we are ready.

So many roads, so little time.
Good afternoon all,
One of the few times I have a chance to post on the first page of a new thread and I am going to grab it. Only news is a large fire in downtown Indy, which toasted an unfiinished apartment complex. What a mess! Fortunately it was not occupied so no one was hurt.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Mel,
Madge is a VERY understanding wife, trust me, if I had that conversation with my bride, I'd be out on my a$$....
I thought it was a wonderful article and the references to Dave and Chet were priceless. !

With the "talk" on this and the "other" forum about spouses - are there any LCCA members who are reglars on the POT?
If so, I would appreciate any comments about the article on Pages 12 and 13 of the February issue of The Lion Roars.

OK, I'll bite. Morning. Cold here - 2 with the wind. Hope this is the last snap of the spring. Contractors here again - painting and mudding. Or is it mudding and painting? Lots of choices for the bride. Gotta go re-new home equity line or at least put in the app. These days they want all sorts of interesting paperwork. Good news about Brent's pop. Greater news about Cali taxes - looks like they're catching up to Illinois. Like the look of the Chief's car, Don. Good news about your relief, Dennis.
Seems this forum can no longer support this thread.
Don
What? again?

Took me 15 minutes to get this far. Can not believe it. Got to rush to town hall for a meeting as spent 30 minutes trying to read this forum. Chat later.
