Morning everyone. Welcome to March. Time sure does fly when you're having fun. Chief, I sure hope you get to feeling better soon. You may have broken a rib from coughing....that could also cause some "stars" when you get to coughing fits. Either way, be sure to have it checked out. You should go see your doc friend to make sure you don't already have pneumonia.
Pat, it is remote control and does not need a slot. It simply goes forward, left or right as the remote has a steering wheel. I don't recall it having reverse. A rather neat looking car.
Well, going to head in. Have one case this morning and I have the information to report for the last month. We have to put this information out for the gov't to do grading. Fortunately, our numbers are above expectations and average.
Check in later for a sip.Dennis

So the Chief whimped out and started the pot early. Good help is hard to find in Roseyville. Chuck, turn the SNOWOHIO Cannon towards are secret coordinates. No good deed goes unpunished in these parts.
Yes, it is March 1st. Sadly to say the snow that has been in my front yard has started a slow melt. Winter fun is ending again this year. I bet Jon is sitting at his front window today with a drop of salty fluid secreted by the lacrimal gland of the eye slowly running down his cheek due to his sadness that winter is on the downside.
Great hockey game yesterday. That is how all good games should look.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cloudy 32 degrees. Going up to 36 today with cloudy skies. The snow is slowly melting.
Today is a busy day. I have some errands to run and then, I have my physical therapy this afternoon. I really like that bicycle machine they have. The more I use it, the better I feel.
Dining car has arrived with the usual Cheerios breakfast.
Y'all have a great Monday.

Hi GUYZ,
Happy MARCH!!! Coming in like a lamb here hopefully it stays calm and quiet for the month. CANADIANs did a nice job with the closing ceremonies last nite. Can't figure why NBC showed stupid show at 1030 instead of next week.
Stay frosty,

Happy frosty March 1st!
Dennis - I like the idea of a surprise drive down main street. Is it a slot car? By the way, I can relate to that dark space under the layout. I call it the "Cave".
Mike C - I totally agree with your assessment of Danica, NASCAR, ARCA and Indycar.
Banks - How about raising mushrooms in the barn.
Chief - Take a few days off and recoop (maybe at the lake without phones?).
My #1 goal today is to convince the Petroleum COOP their fuel truck can make it down our road.

Happy March...Up early, I actually off today but I have a side job that pays better so it's worth it. Have to bq in Kingsbay, GA at 8 am.

Good Moning all
Welcome March!!! I am ready.
Bob - Thanks for the location. From the pictures you posted it is beautiful of your site.
Prayers for you all and your needs.
May God bless

Aw heck. Chief started the new pot early.
I was going to suggest that somebody in each time zone west of him call at local midnight to remind him to start another pot .
Chief - hope tonight's rest finds you feeling better in the morning.
Well we got another 6" inches or so last night. Still closed up due to clouds and frost. Often the weather is really good after it's really bad, so have been keeping an eye on it. The humidity gauge tends to get frosted up like a TV dinner so I go out and scrape the handrails. As they said in Star Wars, "pick up your visual scanning".
Jim S. - I work on Mt. Graham in SE Arizona. If you look on a map we are just west of the town of Safford. We are over 10K feet so even though we are here for the thinner atmosphere, we can get our share of weather. Before this storm we have supposedly had 17' for the season so far.
Doug M. - my laptop almost got a coffee bath after I read the comment about your dog
Chief - I hope your cold gets better. Take care.
Just finished watching the closing ceremony for the olympics. Now I can go back to not watching TV for another 4 years. I will watch some of the summer games, but lean toward the winter.
I did reassemble the 2025 last night and ran it a bit on the test track. It has very nice slow speed performance for the original setup. I think it's greater weight helps. NavyJack - the piston lever is actuated by the left crosshead. I wonder how many other Lionel locos worked this way?

Prayers for no Pneumonia, Chief! Get those meds and get some good sleep my friend!
Nice chats with RT and SJ tonight. Charlie too, but he had to go asap. Heard Wes Ole Timer is sick, so prayers for him too. Prayers for us all and our friends and families.
Not much trains today. Did buy an AC panel volt meter for my layout on ebay for like $9 shipped. We'll see how well it works. I think it's coming from Hong Kong.
8NT - I have had many moments like that about one grandmother. Funny how little things will bring back so many memories.
John - MAN! $1800! And you lived to tell the tale! You are Da Man!
TARDIS is ready, so let's hit the road guys - plenty of rootbeer, some Old MIlls, and plenty of snacks along with banilla!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Hope your feeling better in the morning if not take two box cars and call the enginer in the morning

Chief,
Don't be concerned, I won't let ANYONE know you started Pot # 3 a little early!
You can count on me!
Don
I would protest his starting early but since he's not feeling good I will overlook it.
Get well soon chief
Happy March, at last.
