It's dark and never reached 32 today. We stayed in and ate leftovers of course. I shall wait for Brutus and the thingy, banilla is ready...S.J.

Good afternoon all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 30s. Slept in this morning. Took care of money matters for the week. Will be going over to my dad's to get HO layout ready for local history museum exhibit. Not going all out this year as it it too much work and I am tired of being only one to do it. Maybe another year I will be more involved, but not just this one. I do have some other ideas that may spread the show around a little bit. I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast. TBIL after going to see a movie tonight with the "saucy wench". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Littlest princess is white washin' a farm house and silo for the diplay layout, and I'll be working out in the garage on the framing. Pre-cut all the 2x4's yesterday morn. aflyer ---> SPMan - When wifey read about the 5 collies next door, she at first wanted to ship one east. But we agreed, we are not going for any pets for a long,long time. anjdevil - Hang in there. **Reminder** Sunday at York Farigrounds is the annual diecast show (there is a companion train show/separate admission). Some really great finds for the layouts to be had. Perhaps Buckeye will breeze by.

Dug out an old computor I had ( from like 1995) and decieded to disect it I took power box out and opened and cut wires as close as i could to the source and then cut/disconnected them from the point they connected to mother board and boy did I get a lot of color wiring I can use for wiring trains and accesories. and many colors so thats a big help too.

Happy Day-After-Thanksgiving. Bride is out window-shopping. I'm repairing some broken things and letting the youngest play with power tools. The daughter is working and her boyfriend is diligently doing homework. Nice to see that. All is right with the world. Time to run trains mayhaps.

Well got up this morning to hearing it raining so thats a good sign as we can use it. gives me a reason to work in the house today :D Have a few things I need to do anyway move stuff out of one bed room and move a dresser from other into the other and rest the bed up so it looks decent for the holidays had taken bed down back in summer when we lost ac and moved to den where we have a seperate ac unit to cool it. then when took bed back wife wanted it in other bed room so put it in there but never reset it up since on vacation till tuesday guess its a good day to do it lol. Need to straighten up the den also. tired of tripping over things in here too lol. Mainly have my trains boxes all spread out
Not much else is going on here. hope all had a good Turkey Day. Oh yeah I get the job of deboneing the turkey today also lol
Take care all talk to you all later
Good Morning
Sun but 27 and only going to 33
I let yesterdays dinner wear off but all of you are welcome to stop by today for leftovers. Like most grannys we could have feed many more. Some turkey with gravy will end up in the freezer for another meal but I'm still afraid turkey surprise will show up soon. None will be wasted, kids will come by today for lunch. Great chat with Brutus, RT and Doug M. last nite....S.J.
Good morning guys. We had a long day yesterday. Left early for Callaway Gardens and got home late last night. Dinner was fantastic, more than we could ever eat! This was followed by a visit through the butterfly center and then the "Fantasy In Lights". If anyone is ever in the area, it is a great thing to take in.
I looked through a bunch of adds from all the local stores, as well as the on line ones. Can't say there is anything I absolutely can't live without, so we get to relax this morning and not head out into the fray. Plan is to take in some family type movie and just enjoy our time together.
We do have quite a lot to be thankful for. While I am sad to have lost my Mom, I am thankful for the many years I had with her. While I may have frustration with some of the situations at work and with some of the times when I will be there for hours on end, I am blessed to have a job and to be able to provide for my family.
Have a great day,Dennis

Hi Aflyer! Welcome to the best cup of coffee in the world
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Had a terrific turkey dinner at my folks' house and 18 of us were there as my sister in NC and her family didn't make it. That would have put us at 23! Good food and lots of it - the best!
Nice chats with Brent and Chief on the phone today and with RT, SJ and Doug on the yahoo messenger.
I just want all you guys to know how much I appreciate your friendship and real fellowship and I will never forget this in a million years. You are all the best! Tardis will be ready shortly and the rootbeer and Famous Banilla are on me, guys!
God bless us, one and all.
Hi guys, been on the forum for a couple of years, but this is my first post to the Coffee Pot.
It's mid 50's here in south cetral NC. A little sun a lttle rain, and generally a fattening kind of day. No family here, everyone is in New England. We ate turkey and all the fixins, and settled for a little family visit on Skype. I got to spend a little time checking the forum in between peeling potatoes and chopping up the turnips. Mostly I had a very relaxing day.
Tomorrow I hope to play with the turntable some more and work on the new layout planning. Maybe a trip to the LHS for a book recommended on nickaix, thank you again.
I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who have answered my questions, and confess that it is a really good feeling to also be able to answer some of yours from time to time.
Happy thanksgiving to all,
Aflyer
Happy Thanksgiving, all.
Cold and cloudy today. High might have been in the mid 30's.
Just my wife and I this year. We had dinner at the fanvy hotel downtown. A buffet with turkey, ham, prime rib and all of the other fixin's. Frankly, my turkey and dressing is better, there advantages to leaving the clean up to the resturant.
Bundled up and went downtown again this evening for the lighting of the Christmas lights on the hotel. Music and fireworks too.
Back into work tomorrow, trying to get a project caught up so it is back on schedule.
All for now.
Good evening all,
It was a rainy day in SE Indiana, but the home was warmed by the food and the presence of family. I ran the Santa Fe freight for the two nieces and launched the helicopter several times much to their delight. We played cards as well and watched football. I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast. TBIL anytime. I hope everyone has a good day.
Well just discovered the movie the Polar Express will be on ABC Family on DEC 3 at 8:30/7:30 Central
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Not a lot going on here today. Just a relaxed day. Need to craw under house tomorrow and see whats what also need to first thing tomorrow morning clean the turkey and set it up for whats cat food and whats our food lol.

Afternoon all,
Happy Thanksgiving. The kids are at the other Grandparents till Saturday. Their cousins are in and they will have a good time. It is just my bride and I today. We are smoking a prime steak roast. It smells so good. Bride is working night shift in the ER so other folks can have the day off. We'll eat here in a bit then she will go in. I am getting stuff ready for the train show this weekend. I will be sitting up Friday and the show is all day Saturday and 1/2 day Sunday. I'll take pictures to share.
Later,
MAy God bless
Jim
Looking forward to some train store shopping tomorrow. There is snow on the ground in eastern Pennsylvania this morning.

Hope all have a great day. You guys are a lot of great friends and I sure appreciate everything and every one of you.
Going to my folks for some great food and family time. Ciao!
Ray they always have as we never had children so our pets became our children so they celebrate holidays like us.
A blessed Thanksgiving day to all of you guys. Cooked turkey yesterday so we got a jump on it. Just have to warm up today. We had a preview taste last night. There will only be 6 of us and we are getting out of Dodge on Friday for the Jazz Festival in San Diego. I envy you guys with places to go for turkey dinners. We, two kids plus one grandson and DIL are by ourselves here on the West Coast so no relatives to visit.
RT you have some pampered cats eating turkey. They are eating pretty high on the hog.
Have a safe and enjoyable weekend everyone,

Good morning all, and Happy Thanksgiving!
We will be on the road soon. It is very cold today, and a chance for some flurries. No matter what any of us have faced this past year, I'm sure we all have a few things to be thankful for. The fact we can get online and talk about trains tells me we're better off than about 90% of the world. Let's not forget it.
Regards,
Joe
Happy Thanksgiving to all
I smell turkey in the oven..yummy.
