Aloha . Colder and greyer today. Great news about Char and Jeffrey.Laz, I usually run one train on its own track, but just to 'spice things up', I'll switch their tracks - and reverse the train (swap engine and brake van). Then I like reacting to the new operational realities.

Good morning. It's 48° and mostly cloudy. The high will be 62°.Feeling much better this morning. I have a slight headache but that will pass. I have an appointment with the foot doc this afternoon so that's the afternoon pretty much shot. I may be able to get a couple of cars weathered. There's still the question of what to do with the New Haven car. Do I keep it as is or do I strip it and repaint it? I really don't need a New Haven car.

Buckeyes had so many birthdays I have no idea when it really is. Is someone counting dog years or is Buckeye aging faster than the rest of us?
Good Morning CTTFans!
It's 19F and it's lightly snowing here but should not amount to much. Nothing new on the D&H Rocky Mountain Empire just slowly loading my Roster Photos into my secondary blog for easy of inventory tracking. Just finished up uploading my Tank Cars yesterday.

He just likes cake!
Good morning from the Toy Train Museum. In the process of cataloging a German Language Magazine called Miniaturbahnen (Miniature Railways). A little trying since I don't read German.
Hope everyone is having a great day, we are continuing to enjoy a mild Winter here, I know it can't last but enjoying it while it does. Sunny and my hit 50 again today. Forecast is for a little something over night, they're not sure what.
Back to work, John
BUCKEYE!!!!!! Gee HE is the oldest and wisest man I know!!!!
DOUG M, and KEV,with these switches I think I'll have to watch a little bit more where the train is a going. PILE UPs seem to be a waiting on this setup?

Later all, Have a good one.
The last time I went to see the doctor about foot pain, he advised I remove my foot from my mouth and stop chewing on/choking on it. Then advised I remove the other one while I was at it.

Chuck.........is this #59 for Buckeye, the big 6-0, or #157? I lost count.

Good morning all,
Jeffrey, hope you had a good night. Nice to see you posting this morning. I hope you can get some good advice from a doctor on what to do from now on. Kudos to your friend.
Char, great news! Keep it up!
Buckeye, happy whichever birthday this is for you.
Finally got my computer problem cleared up yesterday afternoon.
It has been 5 days since my friend had heart surgery. Will call hospltal today to see what's happening and maybe go for visit if allowed. Failing that, at least a phone call if he is taking any. I have been trying to respect his wife's privacy and not overload her with phone calls etc.
V8, local politics is frustrating sometimes. I'm beginning to feel like a dinasour with all the stuff going on in society these days. I guess that's what they call getting old.
Some rain forcast today into tomorrow but none so far. It is overcast though. I have all the hatches battened down and covers on things that need it so it probably won't rain.
Chief, I'll bet the box will look even nicer when you get through sprucing it up. How's the heat pump working out? Still haven't done anything about mine. The dealer has been unable to find a controller for it and it's so old you can't get parts. Probably have to think about getting a new one. However, I have other priorities to think about too like possibly getting a hearing aid which I know won't be cheap. I don't know if medicare covers that or not.
Have a good day y'all,
Ray

Lunch time:
A nice quiet day so far.
Kev, good luck with the foot problem.
Jeffrey, glad that you are feeling a bit better.
Buckeye, Looks like are wives are giving you their birthdays. lol
Brutus, Continued support for Char.
jefelectric, John, hoprfully around this time I will be doing work at the Museums also.
Tonight is a planned goof off night. To the trains and then the Tardis.
AF53, Ray, care to join me?
Have a Great Day!

V8Vega I have been getting a lot of advertisments in email, I dident use to. I have been unsubscribing but they keep coming so now I just delete them. What to you do?
V8..........join the club. I suspect there is a conspirator in your house.
My wife and I share one email account so we can avoid the need for a whole bunch of cross-communicating important things. I/we therefore receive about 3-4 dozen email advertisements a day, sometimes 2-3 from the same outfit.
My wife subscribes to everything so she can receive email offers about special deals and sales on everything from soup to nuts. If/when she reads them, she never deletes them; so the email inbox gets loaded up into 3 digits of junk in a hurry.
I gave up asking her to unsubscribe from the email sites in which she has little or no current interest, or cannot even remember why she subscribed in the first place. I gave up asking her to delete what she has already read and no longer wants. I set up email folders and sub folders for her to keep her ad stuff organized, but they just filled up and I was back to square one.
Then I finally and quietly went about unsubscribing from the email sites, ones she might not notice missing, a few each day. But as fast as I would unsubscribe, she would find and add even more while she browsed on the net. Holding my own with unsubscribing has been an exercise in futility. At best I am holding my own.
Now each day I take all of her email shopping stuff en masse and move it directly to the delete folder. Then each night I wack an entire day at a time (from two days prior) from the delete folder and into oblivion.
Don't even ask me how much junk mail flyers she gets each day from the USPS. These flyers mount up pretty quickly. I don't even leave a day's worth on the incoming "mail" table for more than 24 hours for her to go through. I just move them from the mail table directly to a "flyer" basket. If she goes through them, fine. If she doesn't, they get tossed into the rcycling bin once a month, about 10 inches at a time (my scientific unit of measure) right off the bottom (older) of the stack. Around holidays and special events like Valentines Day (coming up, boys), the incoming really increases!
This email and USPS stuff is the equivalent to standing under a virtual avalanche of garbage. I see no solution beyond what I am doing to manage this stuff. And I am not willing to complicate matters by simply adding another email account for the important cross-communication reasons stated above.
When you figure this out, let the rest of us know.
Hello all,
35 at 6 AM headed for 50 again this PM. Couple of inches of Snohio predicted tomorrow
A great big to Buckeye. (is this the real one)
Brutus, great news on Char
Jeffry, glad to hear you're doing better when you get a chance how about a picture of your Peerless.
Son and I worked on the Oliver Super 55 on Saturday. We took the top off of the transmission. The hydraulic pump seal was leaking fluid in to the gear oil. Looks like $140 in parts and gaskets will get it back together. Plus 5 gallon of SAE 90 and 2 or 3 gallon of hydraulic oil. This evening we're going to shell a ton of corn.

Buckeye....
TODAY is your Birthday !!!!!!!!!!!
Banks Jeffry, glad to hear you're doing better when you get a chance how about a picture of your Peerless.
I think it was Chuck. He was only 12 days early.
Jeffry ,
no problem. I was anticipating an older machine. Peerless made steam tractor many moons ago. Our Oliver Super 55 is a 1956 vintage. Only one year newer than me.
Ours is similar to this

Afternoon All.
Cool & cloudy, yuck.
Free tuesday at the museum, looks pretty busy. Good day to stay away.
Jack, My "Better Half" does much the same on her laptop, that's why we have "his-n-hers" computers. She has so much garbage on hers then she wonders "why does it run so slow".
Junk mail, if it comes with a postage paid envelope I shove everything in it and ship it back or just mark the original as "Return to Sender".
Buckeye's B'day ? What does it show on his drivers license as D.O.B., 01~12, 1~28/30/31, ????.
Spent some time cleaning wheels & pick-up rollers on some passenger cars, unfortunately the battery on the dremel made it thru seven and three quarter cars before pooping out. 15 minute break for battery re-charge then finished.
Brutus, Great news.
Jeff, Good to see you back in action, thank goodness for a great friend.
Time to rustle up some grub for lunch !
Continued prayers for friends & families in need.
Later all.

RT.....Because you and Banks seem to be the only sane ones on this forum today, why don't you stop in for some ice cream and cake later on. We can also run some trains.
Yes, but how old is Buckeye now? He looks and acts a lot younger than the Chief, don't you think?
