OH NO!!!! Its worse than I thought. Poor Buckeye. Its bad when your mind goes. Well, he does have his sight. That is all because the "other" went years ago. Now his mind too.
Buckeye Riveter Good morning from Roger's Corners, Ohio where we have blue skies, the birds are singing and the flowers are starting to peek through the ground. Unlike Roseyville, which I visited in January, Roger's Corners is a sophisticated cross roads with its own liquor store and pizza shop. Three pizza shops [one chain and two "custom". You saw the liquor store [ABC Liquor Store]. Someone previously mentioned the silo. The silo is really a bank machine. At the base there is a card reader. You put your Roger's Corners Bank Card into the slot, punch in the minimum amount of $100,000.00 and out it comes. I have heard there are some people who have money trees instead of silos. I did not see either one when I was in Roseyville. Two banks with ATM and one stand alone in Food Lion Shopping Center [we drove right by it going to the Mexican restaurant you ate in.] If anyone does not have a birthday this weekend, we could celebrate mine again. See, he can't remember when his birthday really is. Now back to work. Yes, I work on the weekends to keep the Chief's SS flowing.

I'm in tears over his mental state. Such a wonderful guy.
Slow day at Bass Pro. Only 13 chargers sold when usualy I'm in the high 30 to low 40's.
Tired. Cookout burger in the room.
Bob, I have rebuilt sevearl ZW's. Like spacer betwen the rollers and the arms to insure the rollers turn easily. If crimped too tight, they will wear off flat and ruin the coil pack.
Later.

32 windy chilly degrees. I spent the afternoon with our train club visiting a local home layout. It's no wonder his work has been published, he has the eye and the ability to do realistic detail work. Charlie has pictures, not sure where he will post them. TTFN...S.J.

Afternoon gents...
Got to find a few things for the layout ...again. Seems I'm missing an elevator.... Don't know what is up with that....
We had some sightiings of a curious yellow orb up here...it is very bright and has blue sky attached to it on occasion......we have been having not so much luck with sun around here of late...
Mornin' All.
Came down with the crud thursday nite, there were only two of us signed up to run friday so had to fulfil the commitment. The Better Half wouldn't let me drive in to the museum by myself so she went with me. Fortunately two more runners came in, by noon I couldn't handle it any longer so I zonked out in the passenger seat and let her drive. Was able to get hold of my doc for a reccommendation for something to help with this that wouldn't interfere w/current meds, plus lots of .
Looks like it will be snoozey type of day. Starting to look like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer from the runny nose, sneezin' & blowing it.
Later all, feel a nap coming on !

Good morning all,
TCA Western Divsion meet today. Getting ready to go now. Went out to eat last night and had the toughest steak in North America. Complained and got half off bill. At least they are consistent. Meat is always tough. Should have known better. Got E mail from son in Oregon. He says it will be cold and rainy for the weekend but clearing Monday. He will be coming home Monday night.
Got to run,

I finally got the short hood decal sorted out. I gave it a double shot of Matte Finish to help keep it in place. The main part of the problem was posed by the handrails. There's less than a quarter of an inch distance between the handrails and the hood. I can't even get may pinky finger in there. I got the idea to stick a small piece of foam to a short piece of a ladder. I used this to hold the end of the decal against the model while I pulled the decal paper out with a small pair of scissors being careful to keep the decal properly aligned. Once the paper was out of the way I used the foam tipped ladder to pat the decal into place. I then slipped in a double layer of paper towel and pressed it down with the ladder to seat the decal and soak up the water. After it had dried I hit it with a double shot of Matte Finish. I still have to make new windows and number boards. The headlight lenses will be the easiest. Two blobs of super glue gel.
Good morning. Sunny and crisp, 24 degrees right now. Most of the snow melted yesterday. Not much going on today, I have to keep an eye on George the cat. He got his shots yesterday and is feeling down. He won’t eat and is having some lethargy effects. Hope he snaps out of it soon. Chief, sounds like you got the perfect car. Just beat the tar out of it when they do that as payback. RT, I think all wives take 2 hours to get ready to do anything. Dennis, you had better slow down and get caught up on some rest or you won’t get better. It is important to know things can wait. Buckeye I checked our silos but they don’t seem to work like yours. I can’t find the card reader. Bob, good luck on that pawn shop find. DougM hope your dug out by now looks like you guys got hit pretty good. Prayers to those in need! Have a great Saturday guys, Kev

Oh well so now I'm waiting for to get ready ( takes me about 10 minutes her like 1 hour + sometimes 2
Chief wondering if who ordered the car for you made a mistake. not the car company. It does happen or the clerk taking the order clicked wrong thing then it would be car company. Who knows other than they messed up.
Talk to you all later
First, Happy Birthday Buckeye..
30 degrees with some sun. I made it through the week without buying a new frying pan. Granny fixed me a nice breakfast this morning so all is well now....S.J.
Morning all, still junky but have too much to do to relax. I have been asked to help out with a school function. Wife had given money and is donated the day, but they still don't have enough warm bodies I guess.
Chief, be sure to let corporate know and give them a chance to make things right. I would tell the clerk this will be made right either by you or those above you. The latter just makes you(the clerk), look bad.
Got my station to weather and rename and then it has to find a place on the layout. A few more additions should be going on soon, then it will be mostly tree work.
Take care,
Dennis

Hello all
Clear and cold again (~28 deg) on the mountain this morning. Boss left yesterday, so it's just me and my co-worker for the weekend.
Jeffrey - thanks for the pic on the innards of the U-boat! It's looking a little clean and unmarked though...
BlownoutCyl - I spy the "old man on the tractor" symbol on that yard engine. It's an International! Almost as good as an Alco!
Chief had some helpful advice regarding the repair of a ZW. He may be smarter that he looks...
News from the Mt. Graham Boiler Shop:
Remove the whistle mechanism from the tender for the 1664. Cleaned her up good and managed to epoxy the relay bracket where someone probably dropped it years ago. Hopefully we will be making music today.
Went hunting around for the repair sheets for prewar Lionel. Found a copy but the bidding war was on for way more than I was interested. Ended up running across a copy of the model railroading rulebook by Lionel circa 1952 and picked that up. Hopefully it will teach me how to use my new signals.
Late in the afternoon my boss called from a pawn shop near my house. He's into music and was looking at guitars. Near the guitars were a bunch of Lionel trains in boxes. Going to have to go check it out when I get back.

Good morning. It's 38° and mostly sunny. The high will be 62° and it'll be partly sunny.Think I'll take a break today. There are new movies on the DVR that need watching. Finally got the L&A decals on the U25C. The decal on the short hood however has proven to be a problem and it seems to be impossible to get it placed just right. So I'll have to peel that one off.
A quick Aloha. Off to marital arts - I can't pronounce the art let alone spell it - with the youngest. Bride is off to a memorial service in the city. Won't see her most of the day I guess. Hope the snow melts.

Good Morning
We actually got 2" of that huge snowstorm here...a lot of rain though.......now we are going to see another 1-2" of the white stuff here...a bit of a difference rom last winter when got buried with about 6 FEET of snow in 2 days of snowsqualls.....it has been really mild here...
I actually have a weekend off from doing the on-call thing so I'm going to have some traintime to spend on working on the layout a bit...and running some as well...
Something for the critter collectors...Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railway...diesel yard engine...
Morning all. Off to the hard work at Bass Pro Shops. Shopping with a 15% discount.
Weather is crisp and Carolina blue sky.
8ntruck TGIF! Windy and 40's today. I vegged out and watched the truck race tonight. Three unsuccessful green-white-checkered attempts to finish the race. Wiped out about 1/2 the field to wrecks in the last 10 laps. Didn't seem ideal to me. Is this a product of the 'spec' race car? All for now.

What truck race??? You mean that continous wreck thing on TV last night. First time I've watched that thing. It was funny and it wasn't. Beats NBA on ESPN. Not Outdoor nor Sportsman Channels on hotel TV.
Everyone have a great and happy day.
Konbanwa,
We ran a bunch of errands today while the two older kids were at the pool party so I did not finish my schoolwork this afternoon. I will stay up late tonight to complete it. I am looking forward to the weeklong break from schoolwork. I am going to have a quick nap now and then finish the work.
Chuck - Send your snow out here.
Sayonara,
Joe
Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR....
It is a cold and windy 30 degrees. Going up to 38 today with a few snow flurries.
Today is a busy day. I have a few chores to do and then, an errand to run. I have to go to the hardware store and pick up a few things. They have a drive-thru for me. Then, I can take a nice nap.
Dining car is here with Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Saturday.
Chuck
HI GUYZ,
Windy here at 34 and not getting much warmer. I just did a mile run on treadmill, now for shower then going to the ALLENTOWN SPRING THAW TRAIN SHOW!!!!! Hope to find a buy or two?
SIRJAMES, you're still a CHICK MAGNET!!!!
Stya frosty,

For those curious about the innards of the U25C, it's an older Athearn blue box SD45 mechanism that's mostly original. The differences are a new motor, different light mounting and a hardwired Bachmann DCC decoder. The motor was changed because the old black ring magnet motor didn't agree with DCC at all. The original light mount was removed due to the tiny front hood of the Rivarossi U25C body. The light is mounted on top of the front truck so it still fries the crew in the cab. Oh yeah, four of the six wheelsets were changed out with nickel silver wheelsets. The center wheelset in each truck are the old sintered iron wheels.
Time for me to call it a night. Thought I had my GP30's sold but it fell through. See y'all tomorrow.
Jeff the lock? Didn't even know it was there.
I have no idea how or why it is locked. Maybe I pushed a wrong button or something.
I used edit and turned it off.
Watching the truck races. Do not usually watch racing. Seems the Chevys are the thing. That RAM is in the way.
Jon, I think that is right.
Hooters breaded wings are great.
Later
So what was with the lock SJ?
32 degrees, no real change in the weather, no new sno.
A senior moment, saw a girl in a movie called Mallrats, knew I had seen her but couldn't remember in what. I had to look it up, she played a bride to be that got real friendly with Bud Bundy. There was a pic with it, she ain't cute and sexy no more..lol. But then neither am I. S.J.
