Good Morning all

Looking over the new "look".  Kind of like breaking in a new pair of shoes.  Still have not caught up on posts!  Still catching up with stuff around the house and cleaning up the camping supplies.

May God bless

 Morning all.  RT, I did that three times last night.  Did not work.  Also, if you editied, it would error out and you had to reload the site.  Now when you reloaded, changes were made.  I see the "slime balls" have been through and played with the "stars".

Got a luncheon meeting and then mow.   May go to the lake house later [diffenately tomorrow].

Later

PS: I like the see who is on line feature.  Now we can see the lurkers and talk about them.  Get them really wound up and make them post. Devil [just joking Bob, saw his heart rate go up]

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....

It is a clear 68 degrees. Going up to 92 today with sunshine. Gonna be hot.

Today is busy. I have a couple of errands to run and then, PT this afternoon. I need to do some serious walking. Legs are stiff.  Otherwise, I am feeling pretty good.

Dining car has rolled in from"Points West". I am having the usual Cheerios for breakfast.

After several tries and erroring out and having to reload the site.  Also, ignore their instructions on adding an image to your post.  Will not work.  Do the old copy and paste.

 What else is wrong?????  I'm sure they will get the "bugs" out.  Good night.

 

Chief it does work but you need to do it a little differently when you goto get your link you need to copy the one that says direct link with out the quotes and img in the middle it should start with http:// just like a web page. see my pic above I had to try to see. So we know have a different way of doing it thats all still does it.

Morning all up early on a off day can't sleep been tossing and turning since about 6am now 7:15 so decided to get up. Hope all have a good day will talk later

Good morning all,

IIABSDISEI with temps in the 90s, but it was an ugly soccer game last night.  Boys did win 6-4, but the officiating was absolutely horrible.  Talked to the Athletic Director about what was needed to referree and he told me, and in the next breath he said he would not hire anybody local so I figured why waste my time.  Great news!  Graham Rahal will be driving Sarah's second car at Kentucky.  Good move for both parties.  Another car-driver combo for the good guys (anybody but "Team Red").  Needed to hear good news as third car pool person bailed on me as far as driving today at 9:30  last night.  I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast before sending it on to "Points East".  TBIL anytime and I can drive.  Did do free weights at YMCA.  I hope everyone has a good day.  BTW, "ol' granddad" not as dumb as he looks.  Ever since newest granddaughter was born, I had been concerned about her breathing.  At four week check up, they called in a specialist to review her situation.  She does have a mild issue that they will monitor, nothing serious, but at least maybe somebody will listen to me every once in a while.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Woo Hoo!  Page 1!

Sunny, muggy with thunderstorms here today.  Same for tomorrow.

Got my #219 MoPac Alco up ane running.  It now has a 3 position e-unit.  Runs a little rough in reverse though.  Either have one too many thrust washers, or, more likely, the worn brushes are the problem.  Going to order new brushes.

Got one of my beater #225 C&O Alcos torn down, cleaned & lubricated. The 2 position e-unit is now gone and one of the field windings has been reconnecetd for use with a 3 way e-unit.  Next step is to connect it to the #219 with clip leads to get the 3 way e-unit connections correct.  Then I can make a tether to go between the two.

Think I'll repaint the shells to match the paint on my MoPac BL2.

I'll get the A units working together, then start working on the B unit - still need a to get B unit shell though. Need to find some small plugs and jacks for the tethers too.

All for now.

Tried to edit and seems to only change only the one at begining.  Also erroring out on eduit.  Also tried to post a photo and entered URL and still will not show.  I think we have a piece of JUNK software. Angry
