Laz and Jeffrey, thank you.  I am still unable to access the new website.  I have tried everything but nothing works.  I have been using it for a few days with no problem until today.  Must be on my end somehow.  Left a message for their webmaster and gave up.

Did you try another browser? I had plenty of trouble getting on other sites when I was using IE. I switched to Firefox and no problems with the exception of a site that was set up for IE only. That was years ago.

Jon, I remember seeing them play....oh wait, that was on the history of the NFL before they had the super bowl!   Yeah, you are old!  Just kidding.  I was thinking about you the other day as Fox had a high school band from Indiana that is slated to play at the game...they were pretty good.  I think the name of the school was named after someone like Bob Nelson?  

Well, been working on taxes and took a break to take family out to get some ice cream.  Will be time to head back to the paperwork.  Hope Y'all have a good night.

Jon... I'd like to see a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packer's Bart Starr and the Cleveland Brown's Otto Graham.  And of course Lou "The Toe" Groza.

Wow...that is old.

Banks,

                 I think you were right about us paying for that nice weather.Sad

Buckeye,

                  You could list on Craigs List.  If the stuff is in rough shape, no problem.  Just photograph the not so bad areas and post those.Smile, Wink & Grin

I took advantage of the nice weather this week and got the Mustang out on my days off.  Did 90 miles the first day, 47 the next, then 116 on Friday.Big Smile

If anyone thinks that lubrication thread for trains can be confusing, try reading threads about what fluid to use in the Tremec TR3650 manual trans for the 05+ Mustang GT.  Ford says one thing, Tremec says something else, and owners all have different opinions.Bang Head

Time for me to call it a night. It's been a busy day starting with a busy morning. I added sheets of lead to to thirteen freight cars with them held in each car with brass screws. I spent an average of four and a half minutes on each car with a gap between cars only long enough to cut a piece of lead sheet, get a couple of screws and pop open the next car. Ten boxcars/reefers, one thrall car, two covered hoppers. I had an audience of one so I did the absolute best I could in as little time as possible.

See y'all tomorrow.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR....

It is 34 degrees and sunny. Going up to 45 today with sunshine.

Today is an easy day. I plan on running trains later. I have a few chores to do and then relax. Maybe I'll watch the Super Bowl and all of the circus that goes with it.  A nap later, of course.

Dining car is here with Cheerios for breakfast.

Y'all have a great Sunday.

Mornin' boys.  Mornin' English.  Mostly cloudy and 38 here in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The Scale train show in Timonium is a pretty good one, if anyone's thinking of going, and was well attended.  For the most part, prices were reasonable on a lot of tables, as folks are apparently thinning their collections.  This could be one of those good news-bad news indicators, but I hope it spills over to YORK.  Picked up more trees (what else?), as well as two track chart booklets covering Chessie's South Branch Valley (B&O) and Hampshire Subs (WM).

Good morning. It's 45 and mostly cloudy. The high will be 57, cloudy and cooler. There's a 20% chance of showers.

The newly weighted and Kadee converted freight cars will be moved to the paint shop for weathering. They're way to clean considering they range in age from ten to forty some odd years. That's if the weather cooperates as the sealing operation must be done outside. I didn't have the time to get over to Lowe's the other day to get a can of Valspar Clear Flat as I was trying to beat the rain, so I picked up a can of Krylon Matte Finish while I was getting the groceries at Wal-mart. I also got two bottles of Loctite super glue gel whether I needed it or not.

Hi GUYZ,

  41 here and sunny.  Going down to WAYNEs tonite for SB party.  Buffet all you can eat, wings, meatballs, shrimp, hotdogs, vegeis chips pretzels, all for 10 bucks!  i'm there.  Going to take my MINNIE for a 3 miler on the rails to trails this afternoon.

Ran trains for 2.5 hrs last nite, NO PILE UPs.  I did have a traction tire come off my MTH Dreyfuss Hudson.  Now I gotta find the box and put on a new one.

SIR JAMES, sometimes this site is so slow it would be a good canidate for a SLOWSKI Commercial.

Stay frosty,

Good Morning/Afternoon Boyz & Gurlz.

My what a bunch of Chatty Kathys already. Smile, Wink & Grin

Friday was a long day, early to the museum then they were having a pre-sale of the collections that were donated to the museum. The display & sale didn't start til 6pm so I was pretty dead friday nite, carried over into saturday as well based on how many trips I ended up making to the grocery for todays menu. Didn't see anything that just said Buy Me, especially since I have two engines out for repair and two more yet to go. Bang Head Grumpy

Next friday is going to be even worse. February is "Museum Month" in San Diego so one of the local tv stations is going to feature the Model RR Museum and guess where they want to start, The Toy Train Gallery of course(the SD3Railers). That is pretty cool, except their broadcast starts at 6am. That translates into being there thursday nite to prep the layout & set-up trains for running, then going in at 5:30am so they can get their remote broadcast crew ready to go on air at 6. Black Eye Dead

Not really going to pay much attention to the game, don't really care for either teams, but will watch the commercials and even less interest in halftime. Madonna Ick! gimme a break.

Buckeye, Chief is finally going to be off the carpet on a permanent basis and it looks like you are returning to the carpet. Smile

Time to go get ready for company arrival, later all !

Back from VA.  Went up to check the lake house and see if new frig's ice maker worked.  It does.  Buddy and his son rode up and he got a great Remington 1100 for $250.  A steal.  Neighbor up there had it for sale.  

Cold and misty.  Just met the "Cat Women" and made arrangements for the two cats to come to the lease.
