Test to confirm Patrick's picture will display.

 

Patrick,

I added http:// in front of the farm4.static.flickr.com/3561/3351131159_7044044ae3_o.jpg 

and enclosed all of it with image control codes which results in the photo being displayed.

 

Have to space the following out so it displays.

[ i m g ]  http...........jpg [ / i m g ]

 

When you type the above, there must not be any spaces between the first [  and the second ] characters. 

Hope this helps.

Well, just when I was about to leave the hospital today....in comes an emergency.  Was kind of a strange case.  Nurse walks down the hallway and says " you have an emergency ASD to do"  to which I say "an ASD? that isn't an emergency!".  Long story short, a patient had a clot go to her heart from a broken ankle.  She had the ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) which in her case, was just something we all have, but hers didn't close after childbirth.  Anyway, the clot had gotten lodged in her heart between the two upper chambers and was causing her valves to not work properly and she had some clot go to her lungs which caused her to have problems breathing.  In most cases, these type of cases would be fatal, but by her having that defect in her heart, it stopped the bigger clot from going to her lungs and killing her.  This was the type of situation we did on the fly as it is very rare and we may publish it in the journals.  Patient doing well.  I'll spare you the photos.

Not much to report on the train front.  Hope to do some work on the layout this weekend if the honey do list gets done.  Hope everyone has a blessed weekend.

Dennis

AH, the Roseyville Sonic.  Don't like Sonic so hardly ever go there.  Well, long day with lots of meetings.  Town Manager has saved his job as far as the Mayor is concerned.  He denies what was said and I believe him.  Makes the Chamber member a trouble maker.   Manager did appoligize for any remarks he made that shed a bad light on me [he made a few but not as strong as Chamber member says].  Appoligy accepted and all forgiven.  Good Lord says if you can't forgive, you can't be forgiven.  We will go forward as nothing ever happened.  His job is saved which is the better of the options.  Now to handle the Chamber member. ????  

Now I am glad Patrick came to my defence.  Just wait until York.  Grits will be all over the place. 

Cold and raining.  Sometimes pours.  Same for tomorrow and Sunday.  May not clear until Tuesday. 

Time for some popcorn.

Hope everybody has a nice weekend.

WOW !!!  Now that's what I would call a nice basement!  Looks like there is a LOT going on there!  I saw at least two levels, certainly wouldn't call that a "naked layout".  The pictures are good as well!  I guess the good news for me is, that it is probably a good thing I don't have a basement, couldn't afford to fill it.

 Nice job guys!!!

Normal looking Yankees from MI.  Real pale from not seeing the sun for days on end.  Tired looking from walking in waist deep snows.  Good night all.

A look at SJ's train room.

Look real closely and you will see good taste.Bow  Notice the Cab 1 riding on top of the B&O Box car.  (SJ...I assume you have been looking for the CAB1.)  Then there is a Timken Ohio Box car with an Ohio Central Boxcar and an Ohio Central Steel Coil Car.    Notice the C&O Hudson with the C&O passenger cars.  My only criticism is there are not enough Ohio themed cars on the layout.  Laugh  Nice layout SJ.

Morning!

Thank you again for the great time running trains last night Sir James!

Charlie:  Great Photos!  Great Videos!

Here's a bit of the festivities from the cab of an Atlas GP-15.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35IFp61d6fA

The dispacher at the kpolak branchline was sacked after another dispatching error.  The 9678 was discovered east at the SJ yards, instead of following the origional route south to Ohio.  Photos Sunday.

Lets see if this picture posts for me? If it does, a big THANKS to Greg!

And no thanks to Bob Keller's "How to Post Pictures" thread. His instructions are way off.

If he or anyone wants to know how far off he is please contact me.

Morning.  Raining and cold.  Yankees love this weather.  Getting ready to go to Miss Edna's and then to a Town Hall ribbon cutting in near by town.  Well, stored wife's Christmas tubs under layout.  Had them in one of the guest bedrooms.  Should stay there as no one ever visits.  

OT, good find on Ebay.  Patrick, keep trying.  Hey, send me an email and I will give you some hints.   B&O box car is only good enough to be a Cab1 holder.  Not to be run around the layout. 

Hope all have a great day.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....

It is a cloudy 32 degrees. Going up to 55 today, with some sunshine.

Today is busy. I have to run an errand and then I will do a few chores around the house. No Nascar races this weekend. Baseball is coming soon.  Looks like I will be in the train room this weekend.

Dining car was here for the usual breakfast.

Y'all have a great Saturday.

Morning everyone.  Bride is at Ballet recital practice with daughter, son and I are watching some programs on rocketry.  Think we need to take the rockets out soon and launch them.  Been awhile, and I have a bunch of engines to use up.  Kids get a kick out of it, but I think I get more of one.

Sir James/Kurt, looks like you guys had  a great time.  SJ, nice layout room.  I plan on using felt to have the Plexiglas rest on for the control panel.  Will mount that today and also mount turnout controls inside.  With any luck, I will be able to complete that this weekend.  Son is getting a "Major Award" for an art competition he won today.  That will keep us busy for a little while this afternoon. 

Son had appt. with allergist this week,  found he was allergic to a number of things, dog being one of them.  Have him on some new medications that seem to be working.  On an old medication, he has eczema, I have been putting the bag balm on him as mentioned to Jack.  Allergist says"That is the best stuff for skin".  Amazing that with all the research we do these days and all the latest medicines on the market, something that has been around for so long is still so good.

Chief, I bet these guys didn't know how much went into the science and culinary cuisine known as Grits!  Kim has scoped out all the local establishments and determined the best places for this specialty.  Now, she makes her own, but we usually go out to eat our Grits.

Hope everyone is having a great day.

Dennis

Good morning All

Sunny  this morning, What an enjoyable evening with the guys. I know you won't believe this but I taught that B & O car to operate the train and that's what it was doing when the photo was  taken. A car from Ca. ended up here on SJ rails, had to reroute it back to Ann Arbor. Company at the door I will close for now..S.J.

Hey buddy where ya been???

 

Too many forums and too little time. Also life is kinda busy as well. Been working on layout as much as possible, laying down track and road bed for the first loop and waiting for  more parts to come in so I can start the other 3 loops, and that will be only half of what I have planed. Still looking for a job that I can do and will enjoy with out hearing the "your over qualified" rejection excuse. Have taken up painting as it is a free class at the local rec center but you have to buy your own supplies.

It's me again. It was another train nut stopped by with some news. I want to thank Kurt and Charlie for all the photos and video, great stuff and we three met all because of the forums that are offered to us. So wailing and moaning aside sometimes good things happen. Thanks to all for your complements.

Good morning all:

 A big Thank You to Don, Greg, Old Timer and Chief for helping this novice figure out how to post pictures. I would have saved a good 6 hours time yesterday if I had asked you all first instead of trying to follow the instructions on the How to post Pictures thread. Thumbs Up Bow Big Smile

Now to see if I can post two pictures in the same post. 

Buckeye - Wait until you see the eight figure stimulus check Roseyville will get after  the Government reads your post! Enough for everyone in Roseyville to have a summer cottage.

 Having brunch today. The smell of home made Grits coming from the kitchen is making me hungry.

Got to go. Dinner

Morning all. Sunny and cold again. Looks like great times were had in Michigan last evening. I'm waiting for the carpet guy to show up. Bought everything back out of the basement last night for the bride to set up her dining room again. An LNE boxcar finally showed up on the interchange track. Found out it doesn't like a certain 027 curve in the back of the layout, just like all my Williams cars. We got the track gang out so it'll show in all its proper glory in tomorrow's photo.

Yes, but some stumbling Yanks can not tell the difference. DisapproveAngryThumbs DownDunce

Patrick, way to go.  Got some PORK bar-be-que [not pulled pork as Yanks say] and slaw for some good old bar-be-que sandwiches.  Also picked up 2 lbs. of hot stuffed sausage.  Now ready for some sausage biscuits.  Still raining,  Did pickup a K-Line NS flat at Miss Edna's.  Later.
