Hello ALL HAPPY NEW YEAR
Laz May you have many more!!!!!!!
40's and raining this afternoon. No hunting got done.
New years was kinda hectic here. Mom didn't seem good at lunch yesterday. so I checked her blood pressure. 70 over 35 is what I settled on after coming home to get a second machine to check it with.
Spent from 2:00 PM till 8:30 getting her settled into the hospital. This AM the diagnosis was dehydration. After a couple of bags of IV fluid they turned her loose about 2:30 this PM. With instructions to encourage her to drink more. I hope I can live as long and as well as she. Her 90h birthday is Feb 16.
Kids and grandkids enjoyed pork and sauerkraut prepared by my wonderful MRS at my folks home this evening. Trains were run. been cruising ebay and catching up on the pot with a glass of wine since then.
I'm off to join my lovely Mrs in bed. (she's been sleeping since 9:00)
Prayers for all in need

Morning all it was a chilly 63 degree's this morning on the way into work at 6:15 am. Cloudy with a couple of sprinkles of rain I think left over from last nights rains. Supose to be cloudy today with some showers possible.
At work today but normal shift no OT so just 8 hours.
Not much going on in train world did win 2 station platforms and currently high bidder on another got 1 illuminated one not so far would like to get another allumuinated so I acn go illuminated, nonilluminated, and then illuminated all in a row. to go between two tracks where I hope to have passenger cars running. time will tell maybe one passenger cats the other frieght. not sure if it will be wide enough between them to put a regular station but time will tell when I start building.
Hope all having a good weekend talk toyou all later.

Mornin' boys. Damp and 52 start to Sunday here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Laundry this morning, RAVENS @ 1, then maybe a check on the yatchet later on (still need to unload marine batteries for charging over winter).
My buddy Tom came over last night, and he brought a set of four Geep 9's (2 WM, 2 NW) to run. Noticed that one of the MTH Gp9 units (with 7.2 battery) was having the same stalling problem over my O-72 switches that my similar Gp9 was having. (Guessing it's a pick-up roller issue; why? no idea....) I Do need to buy the MTH charger though. Oh well, Greenburg show next weekend.
Aloha all. Sunny and 14 to begin this 'complicated' day of switching cars at different church services. I was volunteered by my bride to host a group of 16 year old boys today. We'll watch football and eat junk food. I may even show them the layout. Of course, my teen is mortified. Even better.
Good Sunday Morning!
Laz...You're catching up...
Up early for the 1st fire call of the New Year, smoke condition at the Dollar Store...found nothing, mutual aid to the township, so it's their call....
In the 40's now and drizzle, foggy from the snow which is melting and tomorrow? FREEZE!
Wrapped up the Fire House train layout all stored away 'til next year. Interview tomorrow 'til noon, a temp job. Its something...
for Banks Mom.
Doug...it's a parents JOB to embaress our children...
Have a good Sunday morning!

Hi GUYZ,
Again TANKs for all DA Bday CONGAS. Had a great day yesterday save for DA PENGUINS loosing the Winter Classic. Was a good game but I thought the lighting was tough to see da puck.
BRUTUS, I watched DR WHO last nite after the game it was The Christmas Carol. First time I actually saw the inside of the TARDIS. Pretty good story too.
CHIEF, yesterday I put the NS F3s on the track for the first time, WOW your gonna LOVE em. They are so coooool and sound great. I have to put more power drops on layout signal kept on fading was the only glitch.
Going to put power drops in this afternoon.

Morning all. Rained and still may. Very warm. Off down east to funeral [friend's Mom]. Like my roll top desk arrangement. Now evrything has a cubby hole or drawer. Tower sitting on filing cabinet next to desk, printer on the very top with flat screen, keyboard and mouse ondesk top. I like the pull out flat "drawer" thing to write on. Always had to write on something while holding it in my lap.
LAZ, waiting for them to arrive. Probably tomorrow.
Later
Fife - You will have slim pickens at your Greenburg Show. Went to the one in Northern Virginia yesterday and darn near cleaned them out.
Chief - Did you find any hidden drawers or compartments in that roll top desk, maybe with money from "The War"? Those old roll top desks were known for their hidden areas.

Mornin'/Afternoon All.
Happy New Year !
Day and a dollar short but Laz ! Hope you eat some .
Glad all the holiday festivities are over. Between all the days at the museum and trying to stay ahead of the weather related issues I am POOPED. The munchkin stayed with us friday nite so didn't have the time nor the energy to go thru all of friday's consists so saturday turned into all Thomas & Friends with Sponge Bob & the Bikini Bottom Express. Lots of smiles from the guests and no negative comments. Friday and saturday very busy, much to my surprise but we were still able to do our "New Year's Luncheon" with our wives yesterday, good food with good friends in a pleasant surrounding. But I do believe some of the guests wanted to dive in as well, wonder if the snack bar upstairs should give us a commission on an increase in their sales.
Well, gotta get back to work on packing up and breaking down the Christmas trains.
Prayers for those in need, later all.
Oh great, more rain tonite thru tuesday in the forecast. Hope they are wrong or at least it is very lite

Good Afternoon to All,
Lazy day today, went to church and then came home to watch the Ravens manage to win despite their best efforts to give the game away. Did manage to fix several strands of outdoor lights that had bad bulbs etc. Now everything is operational for next Christmas. Although I do want to look for more replacement miniature lights. I only have about three good bulbs left. May look at Wal-Mart if they haven't cleaned all the holiday decorations up.
Making a pork roast for dinner. The Mrs. is talking with a girlfriend who is having some surgery tomorrow. I was watching the Colts game but somehow the channel got switched to the Disney channel.
Happy belated Birthday to LAZ. Never did make it to Barry's over the holiday. May be one of these Saturday's I'll make a road trip over there.
Take Care,
Mitch

Good evening all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 20s. Went to church, and built with LEGOs. Ran the 384E and the Polar Express Friday night for our friends (forgot to mention that before). I had pancakes and bacon on the dining car this morning for breakfast. TBIL after "Desperate Housewives". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Evening all. Rained there and back. Wifey did get in Mom's house while we were there. She picked out a few more things to bring back to Rolesville.
Welcome traindood.
Pat, $1,000,000.00 in "Confed". Hold on to your Confederate money as the South is going to rise again.
TV time and popcorn.

Happy Birthday Laz! We'll see if I can post today. I tried 4 times last night and it wouldn't go through - just dumped out to a login screen.
Prayers for healing and for our loved ones and friends. New Trains magazine is interesting - about Circus trains. New CTT is a keeper, lots of good articles in this one :)
Laz - we have that episode on the DVR still, but it looks good. Yeah, the Tardis rocks man That show first came on the air the year I was born actually, in 1963. It started off as a show for little kids and gradually evolved into more grown-up fair. Then it went on hiatus for many years until the revived it again about 5 years ago I think?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Evenin' All.
Got most of the Chritmas trains broken down and put away so I decided to try to set-up the DCS Remote Control again. The first time I tried setting it up last thursday on the Thomas layout with less than spectacular results. Of the three engines I tried one did not work at all and the other two only gave partial responses. Today I tried it on the ceiling track and it worked perfectly. Don't know what the difference is but I like it. Maybe later in the week I'll see if I can get it to work on the Thomas layout.
Good Evening
Cold 25 today. no sun but ah no snow either
Wow watched the Lions win again,what happened? so no nap. Banillla is ready for the thingy, I think we stil have cookies and apple pie...S.J.
Good night all. Reclinereized after popcorn [for dinner]. Sleep tight. BTW: temp dropped 16 degrees in 15 minutes this afternoon.
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 30s. Back to work. Will be busy. I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast before sending it on to "Points East". TBIL anytime. I hope everyone has a good day.
Cool one here at 23 to get to 36. Worked on adding power drops to layout, soldered 7 on the fasttrack yesterday afternoon. Hope to get a few more tonite?
Mornin' boys. It's a Millersburg kinda day in the Mid-Atlantic region. Lots of football during the day, then I was "forced" to watch some wedding show on WE with queen and all 3 princesses. Didn't get down to the boatyard as it was still kinda damp. Worked on layout a little to try and smooth out some transition points. Still want to add another set of feeders, and put in a manuel switch at a sore-spot.
It is a cold 20 degrees. Going up to 34 today with some sunshine.
Today is a busy day. I have a bunch of chores to do. Will be busy most of the morning. Then, some paperwork. Maybe a nap later. No train time today.
Dining car is here with the usual breakfast.
Y'all have a great Monday.
sir james - LIONS really came on strong with 4-in-a-row. Just think, 1 more victory and they could have won the NFC West... A couple O-line drafts and they could have a good sesaon. At least they didn't lay down like the browns
Johnny, Bill, Sammy and George: How did you know today is my birthday? Ok, secret is out, but I'll "bet" you don't know which one!!!!! Thanks for the best wishes.
Aloha all from a sunny and cold Chicago where I am back at work (thankfully). Survived the visit of 8 (count 'em, 8) teen boys - watched football all day and let them eat everything in the house. Laz, that was one ugly game. That Dr. Who episode is a new classic. Who knows what TARDIS stands for? . . . Anyone? Anyone? Well, Time And Relative Dimensions in Space, of course -- Welcome traindood!
