Good evening all,

Happy New Year!  It is still in the 50s in SE Indiana.  Spoke to Lucas about train trip.  Some parts good, some parts could be better.  Will discuss more when he comes back.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Happy New Year!

I managed to stay awake long enough to see the festivities in New York and then promptly fell asleep. I was confident that the rest of the country would see the new year in with plenty of festivities.

I hope that all readers and participants here on the Pot have a wonderful relaxing day and a healthy and prosperous new year, with plenty of time to enjoy our loved ones and our trains.

Happy New Year to all Coffee Pot Members.

Managed to stay up until midnight. In bed by 12:03, asleep by 12:04.  Slept in today until almost 9:00, I could get used to this business of not having to drag myself to work in the AM.

Yesterday I repaired a broken search light on MTH Standard Gauge car.  Brasseur's Trains in Michigan supplied the parts, they were great to deal with. I had originally purchased the searchlight with the broken light at York several years back for about $35 and spent that much on the repair.  Still a bargain including the repair.

Watching some standard gauge on eBay, might not buy anything but it's fun to watch.

Will probably start taking down outdoor decorations this AM because it is supposed to be near 50. Possibility of some rain later so I better do it now. 

Think I am going to dig out my one and only Flyer outfit and set up a carpet layout. I'll lube it and give it some run time later today.

Hope everyone has a great day and enjoys some football as well as traditional New Years Day foods.  The Mrs. wants me to make some oyster stew later today. I'll have to run to the store to get the ingredients.

Take care,

Mitch

Good morning all, Happy New Year to everyone.  Just got through watching the Rose Parade, now on to the forum.  Went to bed about 11:30 last night.  To tired and uninterested to make it until midnight.  Anyway saw the year come in at New York City on TV.

Chief, I always heard that black eyed peas on New Years day was for good luck.  Whatever!  I'll take the money too.  I have some left over but will probably cook a new batch today.

Happy birthday LazHappy B-DayCake

Good afternoon all,

It is cloudy and cooler in SE Indiana with the Snohio all but gone.  We had an interesting start to the new year.  After our friends, we came back into the house and were smelling some gas.  We checked some things out (stove burners, pilot lights) and could not come up with a suitable answer.  Wife called fire department and they checked this equipment as best they could.  They found nothing, but could smell gas as well.  They called the gas company and the gas compnay person found a small (non dangerous) leak around the furnace valves.  We will get it fixed Monday.  The gas personnel said our furnace could use some servicing as well.  We did not get to bed until 3 AM.  I hope the rest of the year does not reflect the start.  Happy Birthday to Laz.   54...Hmmmm...I hope do not get to be that old :-)  (I am 55).  I had the regular fare on the dining car for "breakfast" (at noon).  TBIL and I can drive.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Happy New Year one and all!  Happy birthday Laz! Its Been too long since I have chatted with any one from the forum. I hope all are well and staying out of trouble. Christmas and New years were good here. One of my goals this year is to work less and give myself more time to relax and have some down time. That means train time! Pics to follow tomorrow as a baseline for where the layout stands now and to show the progress I hope to accomplish. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2011!
