Morning all. Back from Sunday School. Cold RAIN outside. Actually I think it warmed a few degrees from yesterday. May go to the mall with wifey. Something on Craftsman Club sale I want. Guess I will head to the lake tomorrow. Take guns for shooting. Got to come back Wednesday night as I have early meeting Thursday morning in Raleigh.
Stay warm.

Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. & 54 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Spent Friday evening into Saturday morning in the garage working on the project layout for wifey's bank. Was pretty cold out there, but come morning it was ready to break down and load in our new-to-us Ranger. I couldn't chronicle my progress as didgital camera didn't charge for some unknown reason. With a small crew, put the 3'x12' dogbone together, and most of the scenery stayed in place. Hooked all the wiring together , then train stalled under the tunnel... On 2 hours of sleep and an empty stomach, I opted to fix it on Monday. Came home to & then watched "Grown ups" with my family.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a rainy 40 degrees. Going up to 46 today with a rain/snow mix. Real mess.
Today is an easy day. I plan on relaxing and watching some TV from the train room. Need to run trains and have fun.
Dining car is here with the usual breakfast.
Prayers out for Mike's "Saucy Wench".
Y'all have a great Sunday.
Chuck
Thanks Chief. I'm still hopeful. Prayer for Mrs. Mike aka Saucy Wench.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good night all. Like RT, we were suppose to warm up. Never got out of the 30's. Actually feels a little warmer now. Took kids out for last pee. Let "Kitty Sissy" in for the night.
Mike C., a special prayer for the "Sucy Winch". I know she will be OK.
Jim, tell those Dr.'s that the Chief said Char is to stay home.
Sleep tight.
Good evening all,
It is rainy in SE Indiana. Not a good time the past two days. Although the form of it and the treatment is not near the level of what Lucas went thru, the "C" word has hit home again. The spot on the "saucy wench" came back bad. Fortunately the doctor is confident more extensive skin removal will be sufficient to deal with it. The downside is that she must go back every 6 months for a check up. All things considered, it could be a lot worse. Odd thing is the missus did all the right things to prevent, but there is a genetic tendency in her family for this type of cancer. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Evening
40 with rain expected later, turning to snow by morning.
Yep just goofed off, did a little train running but not much.
Banilla is ready, beacon is humming...S.J.
Good evening,
It's been over a week since I logged in to the pot. Time just seems to fly by.
Jim, I'm sorry to hear that Charlene is not doing as well as you would like, Jean and I will keep her in our prayers.
Quiet day - just killed some zombies on the xbox for a while with some "online buds" and then did the shopping for the week. Charlene fears they will put her back in the hospital Monday as she has lost some weight since she was released. I think her energy is a little better the last few days so we will see. If they will let her stay at home, I think she will do better than if they put her back in the hospital. Please pray for some weight gain and healing.
Tardis will be ready shortly. TTFN!
It was supose to get to 60 today but don't think it ever made it. more like high 40's low 50's.
not a lot happening today did my 8 hrs and came home.
Hope all had a good day. And tomorrow is even better.

Cold rain coming down. Can use the rain though. Went and visited Hunters Haven, darnk their coffee and ate their reats and paid well for them as I made another purchase. Went to Miss Edna's and took her apples, oranges and turnips. Took everyone a package of fresh stuff sausage. Now home for a rest. Later.
Aloha all. Grey and colder again. A few more 'Christmas' shows today - need to take the youngest back for his part in the choir. Then celebrating my father-in-laws b-day. I suspect I'll be called upon to help him with his technological gifts. LOL. Looks like bad weather heading our way later today and overnight - I'll be sending it on swiftly to Points East. NavyJack, I sure wouldn't use any camping heater indoors no matter the emergency - the ones I know emit too much carbon monoxide.

Sunny and 43 at exit 77 this morning. Was going to buy our 3 trees tomorrow, my two daughters and mine, but with the rain thats coming we all agreed to buy them tonight.
Jim - Thanks for the video. "A 55 year old adolescent"? I object!
John - I hope you're enjoying work today!

Yes, snow shoes.
Morning all. Warmer but cloudy. Think it is suppose to rain [not snohio]. Off to Hunters Haven for goodies and then take Miss Edna some turnips. Hope all have a great weekend.
Later.
Morning all, getting ready to head out on our mission. Looks cold outside!
Chief, congrats on getting the first 3 fox. Yeah, that 22-250 will make some heads roll! With regard to the others that are not responding....it may work better to call less, kind of like turkey, call little, but effective. If that doesn't work, try some scented bait. Many hunting stores have fox urine, etc. Good luck.
Glad to hear Char is doing well....lets pray for continued progress and a resumption of regular family activity!
Gotta run. May God bless each of you this day and in the days ahead.

It is a cloudy 30 degrees. Going up to 38 today with no new snow.
Today is a busy day. I have an errand to run and the usual chores to do. Then, I have a small project to work on. Should be done by afternoon nap time. No trains today.
Y'all have a great Saturday.
I am behind the times. Our trucks and buses are either fully automatic or semi automatic gear change using Voith type torqe converters.

Morning Cheif.........
We drive on the other side. this leaves ones sword arm free to deal with knaves and footpads.
Good night all.
Dennis, foxes do not like .22-250. Man that thing is LOUD. Three down and more to go. Only thing is, these ignore a caller and a vibrating rabbit. ???????
Got the plastic under the seat cargo hauler installled in the pickup. It is great. Should have gotten one years ago.
Staying here this weekend. Probably go to lake house Sunday night or Monday. Suppose to be Yankee Cold next week.
Good evening guys. Been a long day...again. Kids were playing a concert at a assisted living center this afternoon and I was able to get away from the hospital for the end of it...but I did get to see them do one of their duets. They did well. Took family out to dinner and when we were going to head out shopping, I got called back to the hospital, but that's the way it goes.
We are getting ready for the Christmas event at that park I had mentioned. Tomorrow morning, we will get set up for the families to have a fun day and for the parents (usually just a mom or grandma) they go and search through a bunch of donated items to get Christmas gifts for the kids, and we have a lot of adult clothes for them as well. I went by the church this afternoon and they had a tractor trailer full. Should be a good time and a humbling experience for our kids to be helping with. There are some families who don't have Christmas because they have nothing....it is our chance to be salt and light.
Chief, I am glad you got that snow cannon facing the right direction, but I think Kevin in Alaska left the door open again. Still very cold at night here. Speaking of nights, on the night of the 13th, there will be a meteor shower that is supposed to be spectacular. If you have clear skies, they say after midnight will be the best time for viewing it.
God Bless,Dennis
hello guys now rt you gave up chiefs secret route to the north. i hope he warns pat in advance of coming on his property as pat has a good aim and there are still plenty of frozen tomatoes around. if those are gone i bet there are plenty of partially empty boxes of grits to chuck. ha..ha..pat has to guard his cows against rascals. does anyone recommend a good camping heater that we can use in emergency indoors. see we have electric heat and there are lots of power failures. so as to not freeze to death. i cant drive to motel that has heat like most folks. thanks navyjack
'Evening, Guys
In the 20's-low 30's today cloudy and gray. It's been a long week with fire calls and such...and the job search continues.....
Finally got my Atlas O 3-B Beer car today to complete my Double Play membership. I got my Baker Chocolate tanker early in November....I only ordered them, what, in April!
Been slowly consoladating my trains into plastic bins and hard covered cases and so far the amount of excess boxes has dwindled. My sisters attic is full of my train stuff, which I'm trying to move away from storage and into her attic. Since my appointment to Engineer, I've been granted permission to move my tool boxes into the firehouse in the Engineer's room and change the locks. This way I can lessen the storage and have my tools in house (so to speak) for FD repairs. When that happens, I can get a smaller storage space and a smaller storage bill.
Supposed to be in the 40's tomorrow and I might get an early Christmas present, but I'll wait unitl it's signed and delivered before I open my big mouth or get my hopes up...
It's good to see everyone is doing better here, especially Char.
That's all the news from Exit 8 today, I'll check back tomorrow or later....

Well got erans done and even had time to work on a layout for a 7 year old boy of co-worker ( shes an single parent.) Things tight for her this year. (Pics are on christmas train layouts) still need to screw track down and want to remove all buildings and track first ( everything other than the roads) and spray dull coat on the board to seal the roads and lines to the board.
Not much else happening. Talk to you all later
It went to 38, snow is gone, but of course it will be back. I did a good thing today, turned the water off to the outside faucets, usually don't remember till the handles are froze and won't turn. The almond chicken I had for supper is coming up worse than White Castles. But I shouldn't have to blame Brutus' dog for that WC odor. Banilla will be waiting...S.J.
S.J.
Don on one of his secret runs north he stop by pats. Didn't you see the corn field in the back ground.
After noon all. had a busy but relaxing day today. Not rushed. (got wife up and moving earlier today than normal.
Hope all had a good Friday and have a good weekend.
Talk to you all later
