Morning all. Sunny and cool. Now that Sir J is putting away the snow-blower, we're sure to get a storm. Have a few errands to do today in between working, how to send a boxcar on its way too - if not, I'll get to the P.O. on Sat, Kurt. The bride and daughter are going prom dress shopping. That sounds dangerous Decided to put off big window and insulations jobs in favor of trying to fix things myself.

sir james IGood Morning Sunny and 60s today.BUT rain is on it's way for tonite and Friday. I guess this would be a good day to "summerize" the snow blower. I always remove the gas and spray defogger before storage. I know many who just push their mower or blower aside gas and all. But not me. My wife is going out to take lunch to a church member who had surgery this week so I'm thinkin good time to run some noisy trains. I try to keep the noisy level down when she is home. Oatmeal and toast this morning but I am thankful its not an order. Enjoy this day,,,S.J.

You have to appreceate a man who does things right.
It wasn't my intent, but last year I did that very thing with the mower, chain saw and tree trimmer. One of those "I'll do that tomorrow" deals that never gets done. Now none of them will start. Will have to clean the plugs and put in new gas.
By the way, It was my sons chain saw that untangled the tractor and the dead tree. He does as I say, not as I do (at least with the equipment).

This Reb loves hominy, but that should be no surprise. Sorry Ole Timer, you can't (or shouldn't) have this, but my favorite way to eat hominy is to fry it in bacon drippings, add beaten eggs, salt and pepper, and serve with the bacon crumbled on top. I am sure my Doc would say this is a no-no. My wife does say it!
I was trying to think of a smart comment about your Doc but decided I better leave it alone.
If you guys havn't seen the drawing on the other thread by Berk765, it sure is worth the time for a look, really fantastic!!!
Ole Timer Lousey breakfast ... doctors took my eggs - bacon - ham - real butter - creamer - sausage - chocolate - salt - caffinated coffee - regular milk - and junk food away from me ! Told me to eat cream of wheat or oatmeal every day ... YUCK ! That's just the breakfast foods ... the list is too long for supper and lunch I can't have anymore .... . I asked her if my blood pressure and cholesterol was high or something ... she said ... " I'm surprised the top of your head has'nt blown all over the ceiling or your whole body did'nt explode " . I guess it is ... huh ? And...... Yea my doc is a joking woman ... DARN PRETTY TOO ... in fact beautiful !!!

Patrick,
That hominy sounds mitey fine . We used to have it with pork chops, biscuits and milk gravey. Oink, oink ! Never have been able to duplicate some of mom's cooking, still using that 100+ year old cast iron skillet that she got from her mother.
Man, did I ever hate to give up real cream for my coffee . However I have learned to use and like the Land-O-Lakes fat free half-n-half, kind of an oximoron, but no fat or cholesterol. Of all the things that I gave up I think the cream was the one item that helped to make a big difference in the cholesterol count. The other diet changes as well as the walking helped I'm sure but when you drink coffee from getting out of bed til going to bed this ol boy kept them dairy cows busy making sure I had cream.
RT, Thanks, look forward to your reply.
In case you missed it, I am looking to find out which series of the "searchlight cars" had the light that would rotate as the car rolled versus the light which was only movable by hand. If thay are cheap enuff might bash them into something for halloween, rotating lited monster's heads jack-o-lanterns, etc.

Old Timer, Oatmeal is not so bad if you doctor it up. First of all use the old fashion kind that requires cooking for 5 minutes. The instant or 1 minute oats are cut too fine and gives you more carbs which equal more fat. The old fashion kind takes longer to digest and more energy burned I guess. Anyway it's doctor recommended. You can also dress up oatmeal by cooking some raisins with it and you can add bannana or strawberries cut up. All good stuff. I use Splenda sugar substitute to sweeten mine and non fat milk. The only bad thing I do is put some cream cheese on my whole wheat toast. At least it's the kind with 1/3 less fat than the regular.
Grits taste good if you doctor them up but since you can't have fried eggs, you could probably have egg beaters. They look like scrammbled eggs and don't taste too bad. I don't know about hominy. I think I probably had it as a kid but can't remember. Another cereal like grits is cream of rice. It looks and taste almost the same to me.
You will get used to the new stuff in time. The alternative to keep eating the same old stuff is not good. Hope you get all the right numbers soon when you get another check up.
Good luck,.Ray

I know what you mean about duplicating Mom's receipts. Never quite as good. I think I know why. Using my wife, who is an excellent cook, and our three grown kids as an example, I have seen this happen over and over.
The kids follow her written receipt to the letter. They say it's not quite as good, and then find out my wife seasoned it "to Taste", meaning more or less seasoning depending on the strength of that seasoning. Or she will say "oh, I cooked the potatoes longer because they were older potatoes", or "I left it in the frige a little longer so the flavors blend", again to taste.
We use old inherited cast iron skillets to. Folks who don't do not know what they are missing. Perhaps the reason Yanks some people don't like grits is because they haven't tried fixing them in a cast iron skillet. And think of the value of 100+ years of seasoning!
Real coffee needs real cream. The best I have been able to do is go from cream to 1/2 and 1/2. Come to think of it, you may be the cause of the reduced numbers of cows in this country!
On the searchlight cars, I saw two on ebay last night. One HO with currect bid of $8.00, and an older Lionel night crew search light 6822 made in the '60's. At a Buy it Now price of $65.00 it may be a bit pricy to modify.
Good afternoon, it's a beautiful sunny day here.
HO Thomas came Tuesday. It is a cutie, runs like a rocket as soon as it gets power but doesn't go much faster at full throttle. The grandkids will love it.
Sir James, try using sugar free syrup in your oatmeal. It adds a nice flavor. I eat it that way most mornings in the winter.

Bob and the Kalmbach IT folks must be in a top secret meeting trying to figure out how to blunt the momentum of this Pot thread. 66 posts in about 24 hours.
Love all of the "foods we need to avoid" discussions. Sad to say I had to make some dietary alterations myself. These doctors are great at telling you what to avoid, but their alternatives are lousy in too many instances. I agree with Doug's observation about cream in the coffee. Some friends of mine follow a strict diet Monday thru Friday and reward themselves on the weekends so they don't feel deprived and then fall off the wagon. Deprivation is probably the #1 cause of people disgarding their well intended diets. Two of them have MODEST weekly weight targets where the reward only comes with achievemnt. Others actually watch what they eat all 7 days, knowing full well that they have earned an occasional splurge when they want to.
Finally partly sunny here after quite a few days of light rain and temps crawling into the 50s. Lawn is greening up. Tulips and dafodils about 9 inches tall but no flowers yet. Rain on and off the next few days, so fertilizer should wash into the lawn nicely. I've got a whole host of things in the lawn I need to either eradicate or prevent this year.
DougM.....check the Scotts website for grub control advice. I think you have suffered a case of premature application . It happens to you younger guys sometimes. Think the grub control stuff works for 3 months, and around June 21 would have been better. The intent of the product is to whack the white worm suckers as the grubworms become active and right before they start to emerge from the ground. Crabgrass totally dies off in the Fall and reseeds itself every year, and I think the pelletized pre-emergent products work best when used before seed germination, when the temps start hitting 70 regularly. Just don't use crabgrass control anywhere you want to plant or reseed, or it will kill all the seeds. Scotts has a free tool on their website. You plug in your zip code and they send you properly timed reminders. Don't have to buy anything, just register. They also send you coupons for their products if you choose to use them. I use their products because they flat out work for me (others do too), despite what the dogs do to the lawn I am an expert (through reading, trial, and error) on those canine urine dead spots and how to mitigate or avoid them.
Wife the left instructions yesterday for me to clean up the train stuff in the living room. So I vacuumed, dusted/waxed furniture, cleaned glass, watered her plants, and neatly piled some train boxes in a corner behind a chair. She was an unhappy camper when she came home and found the Christmas layout intact and not one single train item removed from room. Told her she was ungrateful for the cleaning done. When that wasn't working, I fell back on the old standby that "It's for our granddaughter who visits and plays with me every Saturday." Why is it wives protect with their very fiber every square inch of space in the home as if it were theirs and theirs alone, especially the unused rooms (LR, DR, etc.), and treat us as lowly tenants facing imminent eviction? BTW....I was able to retain the Christmas layout until July (I think) last year, but the old BS doesn't seem to be working quite as well this time around. Need to go back and develop some new material. "I didn't have time today, Dear, was working on item #44 on your honey do list." Maybe Don is right after all, expand into the DR and in her horror she forgets about the LR.
Banks......think I may have forgotten to welcome you a couple of weeks back. Sorry.
SJ......thanks for the snowblower advice to us Nawtheners. I need to add some Stabil to the gas, run the unit for 5-10 minutes, drain the gas, then cover. I usually don't get around to that until June and am tempting fate every time. Nothing worse than mucking up the fuel delivery system with old or unstabilized gas. Money down the drain.
DougM.....your ladies are going prom dress shopping? Disaster, but unavoidable. They always come home all excited and say they got the most beautiful gown on sale (right!) and that it is nuetral enough to be reused at subsequent formal occasions. Me: "Dear, would you please mind telling me how many formal occasions our teenage daughter has on her schedule for the rest of the year or next? Or what was wrong with the last single use gown? Or how she is going to fit into the dress a year from now?" These lame female logic explanations are more disconcerting when you open some closet door to examine the results of previous trips to a formal dress shop, all dry cleaned and hermetically sealed in plastic, ready for the Smithsonian. At least my train layout from Christmas is getting weekly use and costs nothing to leave where it is.
Rich....HD ignition. At least they may have the issue isolated. Not familiar with motorcycle ignitions. How tough can it be to fix that. I'd be interested to see how this works out. Personally, if the fix works I might be inclined to keep this bike if it still fulfills the desires you had when you first purchased it.
Chief.....re Pam's headache. I would be very careful of this one and check the carbon monoxide detectors in the house, or have the levels checked by the fire department. When that checks out, go into the bathroom and look in the mirror. You might find the cause there.
MikeC......when someone stomps on your toe or your thumb gets jammed, those are legitimate sports injuries, not the sign of old age. Remember, aches and pains seemed to go away quicker when we were younger and we drank more. Old is defined as someone one or two decades older than you are.
Fife.....Go Go Go !!!! You only go around once in life and should grab for the gusto! Wait a minute, that was from a Budweiser commercial and didn't work either. Nonetheless, brie and bubbly, beer and potato salad, we will bring all of it just to be on the safe side and to appeal to different discrimminating palates.
GregM.....don't discourage Jon and Fife from their sailboat fever. If one of them scores it would be great. If both of them score, even better as the rest of us would then have both a freshwater and a saltwater venue to alternate visits every weekend during boating season.
Dennis.....use call forward feature to my phone when you go to York. I'll handle all of the disruptive medical incomings for you so you can enjoy York. When you return to work after York, the powers that be will realize what they have, will double your salary, and ask you to sign a no-cut gauranteed 10 year emploment contract with your option to extend, and with a signing bonus. Trust me. This will work!
Don.....thanks for the dining room railroad spur pictures. I can't believe what you get away with in your home. That $10,000,000 life insurance policy your wife took out on you.....is the payout lump sum or an annuity?
Ray.....like Chief, you need to slow down. We need you fresh and ready to handle Don's funeral arrangements once the wife snaps over trains in and on her china cabinet.
Patrick.....hominy? Yuk! This might start a Grits versus Hominy war.
JimPhish.....word of advice, check under the bed before the wife returns. Upon her return from CA last Friday, my wife discovered dog vomit under the bed and then started interrogating me as to what I was up to while she was gone.
RT......inquiring minds want to know how your carcass is healing after the dog food and topsoil hauling injuries. And if I recall, you noted that the September 09 projection for the start of your train room reclamation project had been moved up to the present.
Laz and others.....thank you for the kind words about my updates being helpful. But I can't continue with them. The Pot has become too active, hard to keep up with reading the posts and all of the goings on, let alone respond to them. As one poster said, just because we don't respond doesn't mean we are ignoring some folks or don't get a bit of welcome respite from the day to day grind.
Later, gang.

Rock Island I don't have a dog but do have cats so it might have been cat litter and picking up like 2 bags at once which is 25 LBS each and just twisted wrong but doing fine and after tripping at auction with bird bath top I'm fine there to. train room yes but it still will be a slow step by step prodject and slowly get items like paint ect ect as normally don't have a lot of extra $$ each two weeks I get paid. But things are working out slowely.

Jack, looks like I do need the Scotts reminder. Rats. This gown joins countless others... at least this is the last one. Trains are so much more 'affordable' - I was thinking ... the only place I've ever had grits or hominey was a Denny's in South Carolina. They were separately quite a culinary experience, not soon to be repeated.
Jack, I like your idea. Unfortunately, I don't think they allow the cell phones in the buildings at York. good thought though.
Rain, need it, but we have too much of it in too little time. They have started closing some schools down as roads are washed out. My son's school may be closed tomorrow. Speaking of my son, they called me a little while ago, he got "Student of the Month" at his school. I am proud of the little guy.
Jon, looks like I'll be playing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" tonight as we got a 4/4 Violin in for the bride and I to practice along with the kids. It is fun, but I may try the Chief's patience with my lessons at York.
Regarding tractors....be careful. One of my friends who is a orthopedic surgeon was working on his tractor trying to push over a old dead tree. One of the branches was jammed in the front axle and when he went down to clear the jam, another branch that he didn't notice was attached to the one he was moving hit the shifter and the tractor rolled forward, pinning him between the tractor and the tree. It was a Ford 8N. He was alone and got lucky in that he was able to pull a long stick and push back and get it in neutral.....very humbling moment.
Well, I'm heading out of here. I was able to get the home system partially on line. The network router still needs to be figured out, but the main computor is hard-lined and running. I will try to get the router up tonight. On the way home, I will drop off that Polar Express Tender that I fixed for one of the guys. He is going to Florida for the week, and I don't want it to get lost or damaged at my house.
God Bless,Dennis

Congrats on your son, Dennis.Hey Laz, can't believe the Bears got a quarterback.
Dennis,
Tractors are normally a lot of fun but at the same time they can be very humbling. As a kid I used my grandfathers Farmall Cub for all the farm chores, including mowing. It had a cicle bar cutter, maybe a 5 or 6 ft swath, that was mounted on the side. Being a smug and cocky kid and not paying as much attention as I should have the mower bar just got a tad to close to a tree. I learned the hard way how fast a tractor can make a 90* right turn.
Congrats to the son !
Ok I'm back...All caught up on the pot!
Old Timer: Glad they caught these issues while you were upright! I actually like oatmeal. Not grits. Never had Hominy.
Doug: Just smile, say you look stunning, and finish cleaning your guns on the kitchen table as her date arrives. Make sure her date understands dinner is at nice steak restaurant, as shapperone Fife (who opens jacket as he introduces himself to emphasize sholder holster) appreciates good food.
SJ: Good idea to fog the cylinders before storage! I didn't do that this year.
Dennis: Congratulations to your son!
Good luck tonight Dennis with your debut on violin, Twinkle is one of my favorites--right next to Hot Cross Buns. Would sure like to see a video of the performance posted right here Thanks for supporting your kids with your modeling for the arts, you'll never be sorry. A+ !
I just got home from working with inner city kids, UFF DA. I do need a drink but I'm still glad I did it. There's a special place in Heaven for those teachers that do that duty every day.

So many roads, so little time.
Good Evening,

40's and cloudy here today. Spitting rain from time to time.
Not a good day at the plant. Had a wreck in the press just after day shift started. That crunched up somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000 of tooling. A couple of other things kept me late, so I didn't make it out in time to stop by the hobby shop on the way home. The shop will be there tomorrow....
Snow Removal - Something I learned growing up in Michigan - don't start thinking about putting the snow removal equipment away until at least the middle of May. Even though I've moved down south to Missouri, I leave my snow shovel and bag of salt on the deck until Memorial Day.
Cast iron cookware - well aged cast iron skillets and the like are not a southern exclusive. Ours is only about 25 years old. I enjoy cooking in it. My favorite is the cast iron dutch oven. Pot roast - beat with tenderizing hammer and seasoned flour, sear on gas grill, throw in dutch oven with potatoes, onions, and carrots, let cook on gas grill for a couple three hours over indirect heat. Need to leave the dog in the yard to discourage the neighbors living down wind, too.
Hominy - heard somewhere that there is lye involved in processing the corn to make this stuff. True?
Tractors - first lesson my 8N taught me - 28 HP worth of torque at the PTO or axle can do a LOT of work. Just don't get in the way 'cause the tractor does not care if it works on you or the job at hand. This lesson involved a dead furough, a 5' disc, and the bad jugement to stop with both back wheels in the furough. The 5' disc is an excelent wheelie bar and leaning forward in the seat DOES NOT help.
Evening all. Been raining for some time now. Pam and I went to the new Khol's up the street. Came home to push carts [garbage and recycle] to street and feed deer, ducks, geese and birds [at the pond] in pouring rain. Thanks to good Gortex jacket, shoes lined with Gortex and a felt western hat. Stayed fairly dry. Just got an email out to the biggies at Time Warner. Digital phone service has been messed up all day. Internet and email works off and on. TV fine. Guy came this afternoon, worked for 2 hours and finally said its on the pole. Sending a different service guy. Guy never showed. Been using cell phone for Town Business. Gotten 4 calls about Town "stuff". Mayor's job is 24/7.
Debating on tomorrow's schedule. Got to get Mom's taxes done but can not find any documents. Really want to take a day off. Saturday we drive to Wilmington for Grandson's [flying motorcycle king] 2nd birthday. BTW: Youngest called and said this one due Aug/Sept is a boy too. Pam and her had been hoping for a girl.
Glad it has really rained good as neighbor's garden would have been brick clay clods. Wetting it down good before it dried any will help desolve them. My garden is looking good. Now for the next dry spell, disk again and make beds. Got plants getting too big in greenhouse [and started them late this year].
Back to westerns on Westerns Channel. Two good one tonight. Later
OH, got a great new in the box scale high cube NS box car by UPS. Got it cheap on OGR Buy and Sell. Lionel, so its really a good one.

Sorry man - had to do it
Well Chief, another friend from work is moving to NC. She'll be working in Winston Salem. I haven't asked her about Grits - hominy or other kind yet. Apparently her parents moved there a while back and she is moving closer to them and also to her kids and grandchild. We'll miss her - great lady and a good manager. Prayers for you and Pam of course.
Mike - prayers for that hand too! Nothing sticks out like a sore thumb, be careful!
Had a little chat with Rich tonight, also with Kurt, Sir James and Charlie. No problems of the world solved, but just some nice chatter.
RT - hope you are getting better man!
Tardis is ready, I think it's Patrick's turn to drive? I'll come get you first man, then we'll cruise around and pick up the others. Time to do a flyover Don's neighbors again - might see something interesting, they all have hot tubs right?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Morning to All,
Just stopping in for a quick cup. Wednesday night got a call from one of my train buddies. He picked up a beautiful MTH 10E set at York a while back. I would have snapped it up myself if I had seen it first. Well, he is jonesing for a new shotgun of some kind, so he offered it to me for a sweet price that I couldn't pass up. Will meet him tonight to complete the deal. Of course that will shrink the York train budget substantially, but what the heck. I really have been wanting a standard gauge set to put under the Christmas tree.
Well, got to go, Try to post some pics to Sunday Photo Fun if I get a chance.
Take care,
Mitch

HI GYZ,
53 and lots o rain here,to get to 57. Opening of trout season tomorrow at 8 AM. Me and BRO start our season at 3PM, then of course its the begining of outdoor beer season. Dogs, burgers, and you guessed it beer by the outdoor fireplace. Can't wait.
DOUG, CUTTLER might be the answer? Gotta shore up the defense.
MITCH, nice score on the MTH. Welldone.
Stay frosty,

Good Morning from wet 59°F Southern Ohio
Bride still on her way home. She was traveling east of the storms.
Hominy, we grew up on it. My grandma who raised me was from the hills of Kentucky and hominy was a staple as was cornbread and beans and lots of potatoes. Meat was a once a week thing as we were poor.
I got the ruts from moving the camper filled in last night, eight wheel borrows worth. Next truck will be four wheel drive.
Jack - I did get the house cleaned up. I can identify with the coveting every square foot. It took a fair amount of groveling before I the unused bedroom for a train room, and then it was with the condition it could easily be a bedroom again. With the grandkids here they have been in the train room so not much training going on, even if I had the time.

Good morning all,
It is cloudy and cooler in SE Indiana after an all night rain with temps in the 40s. F-1 and IRL are on tap this weekend. Hopefully Vitor can start AJ's team off with a win this weekend. Did weights at the YMCA, visited with my dad a little bit, came home, took a pain pill, showered and went to bed. Slept very well and thumb is feeling much better. Work is incredibly busy. Mitch, enjoy the 10E. Dweimer, congrats on your son's award and good for you on all the violinsts in the family. Normally, being in the public health area, I would be against family "violinse" but I will make an exception in your case(s) :-) I had the regular fare on the dining car before sending it to "Points East". Brutus, good comment on the thumb as well and the Beacon is lit. Maybe I can drive. Patrick did a good job last night, but made too many stops for grits. I know some good places for some great pork tenderloins (real Hoosier food). I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

Morning all. Yawn. Sun seems to be coming out. Got a call at 8:30 this morning from Time Warner [who calls folks at 8:30 AM and wakes them up] checking to see if the phone was fixed. Seems my late email woke someone up and the night crew came by in the wee hours of the morning and fixed everything. Lady said they were suppose to come within hours after the first repairman could not clear. Oh well, its fixed.
TGIF ?????? What is so great about Fridays? No different than any other day. I guess Saturday and Sunday are different. Sunday you go to Church. But the thing I notice is all these folks running around during the day that normally during the week I do not have to put up with. Maybe we should have a 7 day work week. That would help stimulate the economy. Regular workday on Saturday and say a couple of hours of on Sunday to go to Church [or whatever you do in that line] and back to work the rest of the day. Hey, that is a great idea. More money in the SS account for us retirees.
Coffee and breakfast time. Later
