Back in Roseyville. We just came home this PM instead of real early tomorrow AM. They had plans to go to Chris's [SIL] uncle's 50th Aniv. Traffic was real light coming back but heavy headed to the coast.
Jim, great looking ride. Keep good care of it.
Steve W, I was real close to those boots yesterday and today.
Now to rest. 2 1/2 year old has lots of energy. It was Granddaddy this and Grandddaddy that with his hand held out for me to take. "This Granddaddy has trains. My other Granddaddy just has candy."

I have boots on the ground in NC less than 100 miles from Roseyville also daughter lived in SC for 8 years so she can coach me....I must say though VA is calling me for some reason, don't know why. I'm still in the planing stages, have to get more intel Was looking in my camping stuff today and checked out the first aid kit.....Brown box of Iodine ampuels dated sept/1942. Do ya think they are still safe to use if I get a boo,boo? Maybe Dennis can help with that one?
LawsonFarmsRR Thanks for the warning RT. We are posting additional guards at the M/D line. Have you stopped to think that Steve W. may be a double agent? Pat

LawsonFarmsRR Steve W. Well I have to say ,I couldn't have been born more nawth than Fairbanks Alaska and spent my whole life here in dirty jerz, I LIKE GRITS I like fried anything and I think I may be following my brothers down to the south soon. The only trouble is that I don't think people want me to move there. Including my brothers. LOL They left 25 years ago and they are keeping it a secret And they are not far from Chief. And all I see about Roseyville is all positive so I guess I'll be packing up and going. LOOK OUT! Steve Maybe you could trade houses with RT. We would loose a spy and gain an ally. Pat

Not really thats just the way to tell you that a yankee thats been to school to think like a reb is coming so watch out we have spies everywhere you just don't know it yet. See Buckeye has taught him well. He's already got you snickered.
Besides ( no offense ment dennis, and njdevil) but you couldn't through me into N.J. had to much left behind there that I want no part of going there again. (and I only lived there about a year off and on so maybe 4 months total.

jonadelSpeaking of blood pressure--I had my pre physical last week and it appears I may have some life style changes coming, something about salt, caffeine and red meat ........... I can hardly wait for the rest of the physical on Monday morning ... Think I'll live it up this weekend before I hear the verdict on Monday.

No red meat? Does that mean no more special jonadel baked beans with BBQ Ribs? I hear you can't play the banjo unless you eat red meat.
rtraincollector ChiefEagles Steve W., I'm just a big mouth Reb. No one here will Deni that comment. First politician to omit it. Grits are great. Now you should know that the GG1 means GREAT GRITS #1. Chief time to go see that pretty doctor of yours and have her recheck your meds if you really believe that. Later

RT,
I was thinking the same thing. After that "Grits are Great" comment, it looks like I will have to sell my 2332 as the sight of it turns my stomach now.
Jason,
Welcome back.
Just one more photo and I will be done with photos for the day.
Here is a shot of both of my money pits.
Chief sounds like you had fun with the Grandson's, I think you and I should meet somehwere this weekend and take the boy's fishing, what do you think? I'm slowly getting ready to head north to Cedar Falls and stay overnight then Grammie and I will head back home tomorrow, she's put in a full week of cleaning and cooking for the kids, I know they are grateful. Heck of a way to spend a week of vacation but for Sharyl it is a vacation, I'll bet her blood pressure has dropped another 10 points and it was good to begin with.
Jon
So many roads, so little time.
Bob,
Here are some pics to help you out:
This is just an overall shot showing the engine bay.
This is one of the connectors for the ignition module. There is another plug directly behind it.
That harness is connected to the crankshaft position sensor. Unplug the sensor from the harness and measure the resistance across the sensor terminals.
I will be posting layout photos shortly in a separate thread so that I don't take up too much more space.
LawsonFarmsRR IDEA! - you take up the banjo, I'll do steel Guitar, we'll talk Dennis into doing fiddle and we have a county band! Can you see the Chief on drums (what do you think Buckeye?)?

After noon all. Its been a while but I'm back. A new computer will make it possible to post again, and the kids back in school will give me more time. Nothing new to report here. Hope all are doing well! It will take a little while to read some past post's and catch up with all that is going on. But at least it will be enjoyable. Well thats all for now going to clean the basement (train room). Have a great day all.

Morning all from Wilmington NC.
Jon, my new Grandson is bigger than your Grandson.
Pretty weather here. Grandson [Carter 2 1/2] has run Granddaddy in the ground. We ran until dark and then had to play pony when we got inside. He finally crashed at around 9 PM.
Grits are great. Now you should know that the GG1 means GREAT GRITS #1.
BTW: Firefox is horrible to work with.
Steve,
I doubt that it is the crankshaft sensor in Bob's case. It could be, but the ignition modules within the 93-94 Probe GT distributor are notorious for failing once the car warms up. A bad crankshaft sensor on these cars will throw a code and the car will refuse to start.
I thought of a few more things to check. Try wiggling the connectors on the disty while the car is running. If it cuts out, the ignition module is bad for sure. Also, check the resistance across the plug from the crankshaft sensor. It is a connector with two wires by the dipstick tube.
That problem is very common for the 93-94 GT. The source of the problem is the ignition module within the distributor (referred as a disty within the Probe community). At this point, you have three options:
1. Find a working original disty in a salvage yard. (Good Luck)
2. Replace the disty with a new one. ($300-$400)
3. Do the HEI mod. (about $20)
I'll send you a pm shortly.
LawsonFarmsRR RT - You must be sitting on a bed of grits. Grits are known to re leave a lot of problems, especially in that area. Enjoy your Grits!

Only thing grits used for around here is to kill ants and sandpaper.
Morning all figured it was about time to get up. man I never slept this late when off except when I worked nights. I always got up around 7 when off. Guess it this sleep apnia till they read the results I won't know anything told it takes about a month to get them read.
Hope all have a good week-end as laz says TGIF
Good Morning
Another beautiful day, oh if only they would last till spring.
I see a second use for grits(first is potholes)those kids will have nice smooth sanded skin from the knees down. Imagine what it does to your innards. Granny fixed a big breakfast this morn so I took a nice walk and will skip lunch. No plans for the day so I shall just enjoy it...S.J.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a sunny 62 degrees. Going up to 75 today with sunshine.
Today is a busy day. I have some errands to run and a few chores to do around the house. I will enjoy the weather while I can. The leaves are starting to turn colors on the maple trees already. The view in the front yard is beautiful in the fall. Then, the winter comes.
Buckeye......TGIF ( did someone wake you up ?? )
Dining car was here from "Points West". Had the usual for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Friday.
Chuck
Thanks Jon.
From the suggestions of band instruments for the Chief (AKA Mr. Darling), most requiring a lot of wind, you would think he was a politician. Did you notice he hasn't said anything?
Mornin' boys. <--- Weather in the Mid-Atlantic region. Having fifepup's 15th tomorrow. Already ordered RAVENS ice cream cake, picked up Madden10, and will order a bushel of large steamed crabs tomorrow. Watched Steelers/Titans game...was wondering if either team wanted to win that one.
I remember having breakfast at my favorite little cafe, on a clear blue day, 8 years ago. Worked the next 12 hours on alert. Over half the kids I work with now were in middle school at that time...I remind them when I can.

OK, I give up. I ran these backwards, upside down, and tried a mirror image, but got nothing. What did ga say?
Havn't posted in a week. As you can tell from the post above the Santa Fe is fixed and running well. THe Geo on the otherhand came out of the shop last thurs. with a new control arm on the drivers side, took my wife to work the next am and after I dropped her off was foing to pay the elect. bill and after about two miles the passenger side control arm ripped out of the rotted frame, broke the driveshaft and folded the wheel under the car. I gambeled and lost big time on that one. Lucky Iwasn't going fast or in traffic at the time. So that car is already in the crusher and we are short a vehicle. Not a huge problem till I get a job, which still hasn't happened. Hey Chief your getting real close to 5 didgits.....Steve

Bob: replace the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) thats what my satafe was doing and it cured it.Also a friend of mine had a early 90s buick and that happened to him as well. Some component in that thing breaks down when they get hot and it just shuts off the engine......Steve

Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 70s. The drought is over!! "My" soccer girls finally won last night 2-1!!! It was a barn burner. We got a goal in the first half, the other team answered back in the second half, and with about 12 minutes to go, one of the Lady Pirates went one on one with a defender for about a minute "foot wrestling" before firing a shot from a deep corner along the end line which bounced off another defender into the net!!!! The boys won as well, 3-0, and the JV girls got their first goal ever in a 3-1 loss. All in all, it was a good evening. I had the regular fare on the dining car for breakfast this morning before sending it to "Points East". TBIL, and I can drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on trainng,
Mike C. from Indiana
