My grandma had a schauser - great dog! When he passed, she got another just like him and that was a great dog too. I would go for it, Jim!
Good luck with that cat, Doug - hope Kelly is feeling better soon too.
Laz - you are a dynamo! I thought maybe you used those reclaimed 2-bys for your shelves, but red oak is very nice
Laundry running - had natural bacon (smoked, no preservatives), some biscuits and omelets for breakfast ala Daddy. Trains today and also zombies need killing. God bless this Coffee Pot and all who sail in her
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Thanks for the greeting Fifey, been a bit out of things lately 'Terminal Dandruff'.
1600 On a cold Sunday afternoon, winds have been blowing off the continenet for weeks now, temperatures consistantly 4-6C below par. Veering fron NE to N straight off the Arctic Circle. Too cold to let our brass monkey play out.
Happy birthday Brent Lester. This Facebook thingy gets everywhere.

Afternoon all. Took too much cough meds to stop a spell last night. Then could not go to sleep until 1:30 EST. Too until now to wake up good. Got up at 8:30 EDT but reclinerized until now.
Thanks OT and Navy for the compliments. I ignore the bad guys and their comments [jealous, that is all].
Brent.
Speaking of dogs. Lucy is a Habineese Schnauzer. Hypoallergenic [guess that is how it is spelled] which means does not shed and kids with allergies will not react to her. Loves kids but is an energetic thing.
Was raining this morning but sun is out now. Better go to the pond.
May fire those new engines up and see how they run.
Later

Chief, thanks for the pictures. You're a handsome dude when you have your official ground breaking and cake cutting duds on. I usually think of you with your grubbies on when I hear all your stories about hands on projects that you do with the garden, shooting range, lake chores etc.
Getting ready for church here. Weather is beautiful today and just right for the charity "crop walk" that is taking place this afternoon to raise money for the needy and hungry people in the world.
Pat, I don't have anymore pets now because they do die too soon and I don't want to suffer the loss again. Met a nice dog yesterday that was very lovable. Her name was dolly and she was sort of a cross between a bird dog and something else. Very friendly and loved you to death for just a little affection. Those are the kind of dogs I like. Not the guard dog types.
Have a good day all,
Ray

BRENT ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!
lionroar88 -
Here's hoping for something other than rail this year.
Good afternoon everyone. Was a great morning at church. I was on camera for both the service, but then again for a Disciple Now program for the kids. That part was very touching. Some kids in their teens describing drug addiction, others from broken homes and still others victims of abuse who are forgiving the abuser. Amazing the things these kids face and are able to get through.
Following services and then lunch, we went to the park and had a good time. Got a number of photos from a old RR bridge near the park. After that, we went to DQ for ice cream which I have not had in a long time....and it was great!
Have camera duty again tonight, so have to head out. Also have an early morning with two big cases. Hope each of you is blessed this week.
God Bless,Dennis

Good afternoon all,
It is rainy in SE Indiana, but there is a bright spot to the day. Number 14 was on the podium in Brazil today with a fantastic drive from 16th to 3rd. This is a great start to the season for AJ's team and perhaps they will get a win. Watched that and then a tape of the F-1 race, won by Alonso. A good day to watch races. I had a feast for breakfast: cereal, english muffin, bacon, a donut, juice and milk. TBIL after "Desperate Housewives". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

Cloudy and damp all day but the rain we got has turned some of our brown grass green. TTOS show was much the same but I did see a couple of good deals today. No, I already have them. Will wait for the thingy and have some banilla...S.J.

That is RT. The fly is his best friend.
Got a tailgate full of turnips from garden and took to the pond for the deer. Now I will not have to worry with them sprouting in my garden. The little ones should turn under OK with bottom plow. Rested most of the day. Now for some chicken and rice soup [wifey made] followed by popcorn. Never did get up to train room to run those new engines. Later.
Brent! I want to know how tasty was the roadway cake?

BRENT, Hope you got something with flanged wheels?
Here is my new display case I made out of Red Oak. It has peel and stick lites in the top part and I also ran a clip on to track to illuminate the passenger cars.
Well I got to go snowshoeing today and it was a lot of fun! Just about what I hoped it would be. Aerobic hiking in the snow.
The snowshoes worked well, but the bindings left something to be desired. Hey, how much can you expect from $30 military surplus? I have some ideas on how to improve them though.
So, is it heads?
Or tails?
Not a great self portrait, but try running away from a camera on a timer w/ snowshoes...

Bob, I see you stumbled on Buckeye's residence. His layout is in the lower level.
Happy Birthday Brent!!!! Sorry I didn't get it in the earlier posts, had a time frame to work on and was not in my right mind.
Bob, That snowshoe exercise looks great. Of course, it is hard to do when it is the 60s out here. I hope there are other facilities than that one!
Laz, nice job on the display cases. I am hoping to do something similar, but with more shelves when I get further along with the layout. It appears that you have it designed that the end opens up for access to the locomotives? Also, I have been thinking of going with "rope lighting" for the inside. Will have to see how bright they are and if it will work with the display.
Well, got back to church tonight and was in the media control room before services. Got paged to the hospital for someone in dire straights. Wish I could say another life was saved, but sadly, that is not the case. A lot of effort went into this patient, but the writing was on the wall from the beginning. A couple of thoughts to share. Make sure you get check ups especially every year when you get into your 40s and up. Have your glucose checked as well. Untreated, diabetes can cause havoc on the whole body. Lastly, it really isn't about us. It is about our loved ones and the ones who will be in pain when we are gone. So for them, make sure you are on top of your health.
May the week ahead hold many blessings for each of you. I continue to pray for Bob, Roy's sister, Chief's mom, Jim's wife, SP's friend, and for a few others who I know are facing issues with kids. God Bless,Dennis
Evening all
A wonderful Sunday it has been. Thanks for the input about the dog. After the death of our two dogs a few years ago I did not think I'd get another dog. Well the gandkids coming to live with us has changed several things around here.
We took the kids up to see how the dog and kids would interact, and they all really hit it off. We will pick up the dog next Friday. The kids are excited.
Laz - The case is beautiful.
Happy birthday Brent
May God bless
Jim
Laz ... cool .... man huge layout ! But I don't see the frosties cooler/fridge ? ... Did you convert and make a beer loader/delivery car yet ? I gave a guy here the idea of taking 2 of those mini beer bottles and useing them as part of his bar sign thingy ... looks really good and different . He got them when he picked up some items for his daughter's doll house he's building .
Uh Oh .... can't wait to see buckeye's revenge on the residence post ....
Happy Birthday 88 !!!!! I assume you got a new snow shovel. Your last one must be completely worn out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Brent!
Bob - looks like you had some fun!
Laz - Awesome job, man!
Laundry day today at Chez Brut. Still doing laundry after 12 hours!
Tardis is ready, so let's get going!
Good Evnin, ya'll, from drowning and drenched Taxachusetts and Southern New England,
Started raining yesterday afternoon, 7 inches here so far and rain to continue heavy overnight and through tomorrow midnight. N'oreaster, so we are getting hit off the water. Winds gusting to 50 mph. Wave heights 15'-20'. A 12' tidal surge expected. All streams and creeks over their banks and the rivers all at flood stage. I am a mile off the ocean thankfully. 70,000 homes in Ct. without power already. Could be a 100 year storm before it is over.
Trees are started to drop because the saturated ground ain't holding the roots, power outages are mounting, and that means no sump pumps except for those with generators. Coastal towns north of Boston are getting hammered (me) particularly bad.......roads covered with boulders, sand, and debris. Beach erosion severe. Parts of several inland cities and towns are becoming rivers and lakes. Evacuations taking place within 30 miles of here.
So far I am dry, but I have neighbors within shouting distance that may not be so lucky with their basements. Washers, dryers, hot water heaters, furnaces, electric panels.......this stuff isn't covered by homeowners' insurance unless one has flood insurance.
Gotta go check the basement again. In New England, rising ground water levels can get to you too, seeps in right through the foundations.

Buckeye Riveter Happy Birthday 88 !!!!! I assume you got a new snow shovel. Your last one must be completely worn out.
Almost forgot the young whippersnapper's birthday. Brentmeister. Ah, to be 39 again. We all took up a collection and will be sending you some of those little blue pills to help you out in your declining years. Don't use them when you are operating your table saw.
Jack
Good night all. Sorry to hear your water problems Jack. Hope your basement does not flood. That was what we were going through several weeks ago. Hope the power stays on too. Off to bed. tomorrow is meetings day. Will not get back until late tomorrow night. Hope all have a great week. God bless.
Happy Birthday Brent!
Jack - I hope you keep your head above water. I had a friend who was working at a HD in the DC area when they had the remnants of a hurricane come through a few years back. They couldn't keep generators in stock. At one point they were selling them right off the truck. One lady wanted to know if it was ok to run it in her living room. Another guy was worrried about his basement and was thinking of using a shop vac to clear it, but since electricity might be in question wanted one that would run on gas. I think there was even one person who wanted to know if there was a generator that ran on electricity. "Yes, it's called an extension cord." Having worked in a hardware store I can imagine it easily.
My best stupid customer story? The lady who wanted to know if we carried swimming pool paint, i.e. for the plaster. "Yes we do". 'Is it available is different colors?' "Yes, we cannot make a custom color, but several are available premixed". (Here it comes...) 'Do you have to empty the pool before you paint it?' (thunk) "No ma'am, just dump it in, it'll head for the walls."
Oh, and before I went on my little snowshoe adventure, I tested out the windbird. Communicates just fine. Now to get the darn thing back up on Wednesday.
Good early, early morning. 4 AM and I am tired of waiting for the Tardis so I decided to come in for coffee. Guess I need to check the bulb in the beckon.
Brent - Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you------
LAZ - Great lighted display, especially the train cars.
Chief - Now that Buckeye is renting the outhouse downstairs, is the upstairs over Buckeye for rent? I think RT is interested in moving there.

Morning all. Heading in for early case. Hope everyone is doing well. Jack, stay dry. Spoke with one of the guys up in Jersey last night. In a 24 hour period, they had 184 calls at the fire department. It is not a record, but certainly enough to keep them busy. Mind you, they don't run the ambulances any more, that is just for fire service.
Glad that I heart Ohio car made it back home in one piece. Can't imagine how long we would hear about it if it didn't Just kidding Buckeye. Really is a neat story about the travels across the country. Nice going Fife and Don along with the rest of the gang. Made some great SPF and the stories that went with them were fun.
God BlessDennis
