Evening all
Just another hour or so and I'm down the hill. A good friend is in Phoenix this week and I managed to wangle some time off. They owe me for some holiday time so I had better get it in while I can.
Going to try and get to the McCormick Railroad Park while I'm there. Haven't been there since I was a kid.
Then I will be in Safford on Friday with a friend from work looking for new digs.
Buckeye - I think you right on the money there. I think there was even a grismill in that show
Chief - that's a real drag. Hope you find where your stuff wen

Evening all,
Fife: She was trying to get me to go to school for journalism. That was strike one. She didn't want me becoming a police officer because "it's too dangerous." She didn't have a problem with police officers when we were dating, but I'm under the assumption that the parties that she has attended have been busted before (she's still underage) so she's probably a little upset at them. I told her before it's not worth getting caught, especially in NJ. I know the academic board would give her a nice sentence, not to mention what the police would do!
KRM: Believe me, I'm happier without her! I wouldn't be enjoying any of the hobbies that I'm a part of if I was still with her. I know that she'd be angry if I was going out to the bars and clubs with my friends on weekends if we were still together or when I go away for weekends too. I should have known something was awry earlier because she kept asking me if I was cheating. I had the opportunities to, but I never did because I cared about her. But, the feeling wasn't mutual.
Think good thoughts, do good deeds!
WOW it got to 56 degrees today with sun. Only result was a lot of slop but what the hey it is January I have given up on the self-healing hope for my foot and am going to the foot Dr. tomorrow to see what the heck is wrong. I can barley walk and the top of the foot is bruised and it feels like it was run over by a truck. Twice the size of the left foot. Love it Buckeye! Anyway going to hit the tub and early sleep. You all have a good night, Kev

Does sound strange. Good luck Chief. Can you call inthe NCBI?
KRM Wow Jeffery you have been into model trains since you were three years old and HO since you were 5 years old then. That is amassing. I got my first trains when I was six but dad and my uncle did all of the hard stuff. Heck I don’t even remember being five years old.

jeffrey-wimberly SPMan: Jeffrey, your reference to a decoder in an engine is what? Does it have something to do with DCC? I have been out of HO for several decades now so I'm not aware of all the advances made over the years. I started out with a Varney "screwdriver kit" about 1959, then dabbled in PFM and Athearn. Of course back then everything was conventional control. A friend of mine has a large club size layout in his house and it's a wonder watching it run with all the modern sounds etc. I think they even have dynamic brake sounds when the engines are going down grade. Nice work on your F units. Ray Yes, the decoder is a reference to DCC control. The decoders I use allow for motor and light control. I've been into model trains since 1964 and into HO since 1966.

Back from lake house. Two expensive items gone from under shelter. Both were out of normal sight and inside the fence. Had to be somone who was around the Box. Buckeye may get extradited. No, number one suspects are mobile home movers. Other items under there were not disturbed. Some in plain sight.
Off to a reception. Later.

Sandra is an On the plus side, I have had the best years of three women’s lives. SJ, yes do keep your cloaking device engaged !! anjdevil2, I am sure things will improve with time.

Joe, was that Godzilla picking up that combine in the video?? Got an e-mail yesterday from Ken Koehler (lioneltransformer.com)the guy working on the transformer I got from Chief about the problems it had.

Bet it had something to do with a mixture of Sweet Ice Tea and GRITS.
Still it will work out great, Thanks again Chief.
Later guys,
Aloha and happy Monday. Grey and cold. Spent Sat. with my young nephew and niece. Sunday worked as video director at church, then took my wife to see the musical Legally Blonde. It was really well don. What a lot to read this morning!Jeffrey, great work on the F9s. I am impressed on any innards-work in the smaller scales. I can barely handle popping the lid on O gauge trains.SubmmBob, my heartiest congrats on the new job! I can relate to your fixin' though mine don't seem to work after my tinkering. DennisW, hope your back is Ok today. Colin, hope you feel better too!Buckeye, glad you're home safe after the Great Raid.DonB Kev, yeah, not sure what's up with those skulls showing up at the side of the road on the other side of town, though they were bleached pretty well ... DennisV8, I love the Rose Parade. Can't believe there's a quarter of a million flowers on one float!RT, welcome back! Hope this 'puter works out. Roy, congrats on the closing. Hope it went smoothly. Demay, a nice 'night-time' video, Joe. Those Flip cameras are great. Ours fits neatly in a troublesome truck for a trip around the layout. Brutus, welcome back. Glad you caught up on your sleep. SJ, sending warmer weather your way. A present from Jon
Hi GUYZ,
26 here and cold. Took my gal MINNIE for a two walks already and ran a nice 3 miler again today. Yesterday took MINNIE to the rails to trails and we did a 3 miler. Great fun, with her running ahead of me. Always brings a smile to my face to see her bounding like a deer running down the bed. Got P/T conferences today, last one forever, boy that sounds good.
ROY, I'll be there with WIFE on Friday all day. Maybe we'll do breakfast again with the gang, at Dennys?
JOE D., nice job on the layout. Keep on playing with those trains.
DON, LOL very good SIR.
Stay frosty,

Good morning. It's 38° and mostly cloudy. The high will be 70° and it will be partly sunny.Today's project is to get the FP7's to the paint shop. They're long overdue. The road names need to be painted out and the L&A logo applied. Other than that there will be some more layout cleanup being done. Amazing how fast little things pile up.
Konbanwa,
The workday went fine and nothing too exciting happened. We had chicken fajitas for dinner and didn't do much of anything else. I am off to bed early tonight.
Fife - I'll gladly take any snow you can send.
Jeffrey - It took some time to get to the point where I would say such words about running. However, I understand your situation is much different. Just do what you can physically, but the great thing is your is very active.
I completed short video of some of the UTB RR layout action. I attached it below but please don't laugh at my poor camera and video skills. Also please remember the Flip Video camera is not the best equipment, but it does a great job for the price.
Sayonara,
Joe
18 this morning at 7:30. 21 now and the temps will rise and remove the sno- before I can get the dog team hitched up. I picked up a couple Plasticville parts on the cheap yesterday but scored no big prize. I did see a NIB Harry Potter set without track or transformer for $99.00..S.J.
Mornin' boys. Nice start to the week, weather -wise. Demay can keep all that snow in Tokyo (actually made the news on the east coast). Youngest princess had yardMax duty yesterday. Afterwards, she said we need to stop feeding him so much...

Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR....
It is a cold and frosty 22 degrees. Going up to 38 today with some sunshine.
Today is a busy day. I have a big project to work on and a few chores. I will be busy most of the day, except for my nap, of course. That's one of the best things about being retired.. A nap !!!
Dining car is here with Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Monday.

Don...Your fake photos however do not even do the situation justice. This is a case of truth being better than fiction. I was there.
Evening All,
Bob, Congrats on the new office, really like the mobility!

Anjdevil2: I was actually further down the line at Woodbourne. I caught the two freights and then left, way too cold and windy for videos so I only snapped a few shots on my DSLR. Regarding the Juice Train, I have caught it once during the day. Definitely a rare catch to say the least. Here's a quick video from that day back in August:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGaop4-BZ68
I don't step foot near Ewing anymore, my ex and I left our relationship on really bad terms (I had to end things after she admitted to cheating twice, and she attends TCNJ, and from what I understand she's all over Ewing now.) I ended things in April, but for some reason she continued talking to me saying that she still wanted to be a part of my life. My sister (who introduced us) called her one night and told her off, specifically saying that it's one thing to disrespect me, but she also disrespected our whole family because we accepted her and brought her in and legitimately cared for her. She cried and apologized but my sister was and still is angry with her. It's not like we dated for 6 months, we were together for a little shy of 3 years. Even after my sister told her off, she texted me on my birthday and then texted me a few days after that. I nearly threw my phone on the shotgun range because I just got so mad at her. Well, now I deleted her number and all other contact forms we had. I haven't spoken to her since August, and I'm more than happy to say I'm actually much better off without her. I rekindled many friendships that I lost and have been enjoying life as a single 21 year old who has the ability to go out on the weekends and not worry about a relationship. She had the double standard where she was allowed to party everyday of the week, but I wasn't allowed to go out to parties at my friends houses. I handled it maturely, but she had to leave it on bad terms. Apparently (this is hysterical) she's dating one of the guys she cheated on me with. I've never understood the mentality of some people. What makes him think she won't cheat on him like she did on me? That's the last type of girl I'd ever think of dating.
Anyways, I'm still wide awake. I think I'm gonna go watch Top Gear.
Later guys!
Well Boys, this is post #1700 - I hope it's memorable!
Jeff - Nice work on the F's...like 'em.
Bob - Congas on the new office!
Nothing much today, couldn't sleep last night.....tossin and turnin' (insert appropriate '50's music here), stress about the new job and the relief...
Dennis, did you ever deal with the relief association? This is going on 2 months now...
It was in the 40's today a bit breezy and if I had felt better, a bike ride would have been in order...I need a ride on the scoot....to clear my head.
Just went out to ShopRite for some food for the week. Stopped at WaWa for hot chocolate to help me relax and maybe sleep. I have to help the Princess do 1 page paper and that should do me in.
Jump started the Wagon today, checked and topped off the fluids and removed it from the Firehouse parking lot. Too many people with too many questions...out of sight out of mind. That freakin' car runs so well....IF I still have it in the spring, I think that a carb and timing adjustment might make it a wee bit faster. If I had the extra gas money, we'd be cruisin' tonight just for grins....I really built her well...
Colin, were you at the West Trenton Station? I've been there at night, got some great action, so 2 freights in an hour plus SEPTA. I'd love to catch the juice train one night. If you go there, head to the Ewing Diner. The coffee is great there and the waitresses ain't bad either. Been there a few times, it's just down the road from West Trenton and Trains & Things.
That's all from Exit 8......catch ya on the next one!
I am the monster in your head...And I thought you'd learn by now, It seems you haven't yet.I am the venom in your skin --- Breaking Benjamin
SJ - you have your cloaking device engaged!
Congrats, BOB! Way to go man, hope you get things working fast!
Just took it super easy today. Did play a game of Ticket to Ride with my wife.
Buckeye - great story and great pics guys, you and Chief look like you had a great visit
TARDIS is ready, so let's get going. I think I remember where there was some leftover banilla.....
