Mix of weather today. Heavy rain and thunder storms this morning, cleared of to a nice sunny 65 degree afternoon. Another bunch of storms is moving through tonight. Looks like there is a squall line that will hit in another hour or so.
Feeling well enough to get back to work today. About wore me out though. Think I'll head for bed early tonight.

Check it out.
Good morning. It's 67° and partly cloudy. The high will be 82°.No plans for today. Just going to run some trains, watch a few few movies and some TV shows. Earlier I was running the Stewart F3 A/B set but I've parked them and am now running the GP38 and SD27J, Bachmann and Atlas respectively. The MoW crew still has to come back and clean up the mess they made when they ripped out a turnout yesterday. The debris is still piled by the track.

53 now with showers possible all day, 60s this PM. A busy Saturday with a birthday party at 1 and our monthly club meet starts at 5. The York questions have been answered so I won't repeat. The thingy didn't show last night so I went to bed a little earlier than usual. Corn beef hash is on it's way for my breakfast...S.J.

Morning all. Had the bible study dark early, now to get some painting done here. Wife is sick, so I may have some other tasks to get to.
Doug m., I sent you an email...happy birthday to Drew.
Laz, is that a large leather bag? I got one at a Friends of the NRA a few years ago. It is a nice roomy bag. Also, for York, that other sage advice usually shared by Fife, follow the arrows on the floor, they are there for a reason.
Gotta run, God bless

Aloha. Grey and cooler. Another birthday to celebrate today - for my now-18 year old. Hope to catch a ball game later - kind of prefer to listen on the radio. Yum, that's a good breakfast Sir James!

Good afternoon all!
BEAUTIFUL sunny day here at the Jersey shore!
We had a great day at the Stadium yesterday and before you know it we'll be back Monday night. Getting ready to spend a half day at work but I wanted to catch up on the pot when what to my surprise I see TRAINDOOD!
Traindood - Welcome back! Got some good news for you - Yankees win!
Jack - I believe that NJDevil is also a Yankees fan and you MUST include him on your list. Sure is bad news about Ellsbury. You can't afford that.
Kev - That station does look nice, congrats.
HudsonJohn - Like you and fishing, any day at the Stadium is better than a day at work!
OK, off to work.
Have a great day,

Afternoon boys. in the Mid-Atlantic region. Wifey . She already received a lovely ring, now waiting to find out how the rest of my day will go.
Banks - I'm not sure what laz is talking about...bags? Everytime I see him with a new big engine purchase, a rather nice, lovely lady walks behind him carrying a box.
Think good thoughts, do good deeds!
Survived Friday the 13th but we got a good rain which we needed. Maybe it will make it to Roy's neck of the woods too.
Happy birthday to Mrs. Fife
Ran across the song "Do You Remember These" on you tube by the Statler Brothers. If you grew up in the 50's and maybe into the 60's, check it out. I think I remember everything they mentioned but I'm dating myself.
Need to get out in train room today following rain yesterday and polish some rails with running.
Group breakfast following church tomorrow at some restaurant in neighboring town.
That ham and beans dish I made yesterday turned out to be enough for an army. Don't think I can eat it all before it spoils in the refrigerator. Maybe I can convert it to nitro methane and sell it to the race car drivers.
Big car race at Long Beach today and tomorrow. My youngest son is seeing it in person but the older one wants to see it on TV. Article in paper today about one of the Andretti kids, Marco, driving in it. The old man, Mario and his son Michael will be there as advisors too I think.
later,

61 now, I just left the birthday party, early. Now I got to get ready for our club meet. Maybe Charlie will have some pictures to post tomorrow..S.J.
Good afternoon all,
It is stormy in SE Indiana with temps in the 50s. Soccer called due to lightning. Lots of rain today. Been re-reading Atlas Shrugged. Not as tedious as I remember. Lots of train talk in it. Did housework and went to Mass tonight. For all the complaints from time to time about this site, this is way better than the new Indycar site. It is atrocious. I think SFHR's driver will be starting second, but have no idea where AJ's will be starting. Going to get pizza and watch "Puss'n'Boots" on DVD tonight. Grandkids will be here tomorrow for Easter. I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast. TBIL. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

Kev, From The North Bluff Above Marseilles IL.
I am tired! Finished painting the formal living room. I painted it a deep orange.....with the blue painter's tape for the moulding, it looks like a Lionel shop! Once the paint dries, I will remove the tape and install curtains, etc. then it will look good. Kids helped a bit, which added a couple of hours, but the memories will last much longer.
Wife is ill, which doesn't happen too often. She is much better at running everyday activities around the house. When she is down, it is noticed!
Looking forward to services tomorrow. Been a long week and it helps recharge my batteries. Also hope to catch up with some friends who are visiting back from their mission assignment in Brazil.
Hope everyone has a blessed night.
Time for me to call it a night. Didn't do much today. Ran some trains, watched some documentaries about Pearl Harbor, ran some trains, watched a couple of videos about Titanic, ran some trains, backed up some files, ran some trains, did a little work on the layout, ran some trains and took a few photos. And once in a while I'd eat a sandwich or some rice. See y'all tomorrow.
Howdy guys - rainy weekend so far and big storms are supposed to hit tomorrow. Char and I went to a home and garden show at the local highschool. We're going to try and get some bids for a retaining wall in the back yard. Kids did chores too late, so we didn't get to dinner until 7-ish. Ate too much, because I was starving - now I really feel blah. Nice chat with Kev tonight. Hope SJ and Charlie are having fun and also prayers for Jack.
TARDIS is ready, so let's get going :)
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good night. Been reclinerizing.
Happy Birthday Mrs Fifey [even though it is late].
Teaching Senior Ladies Sunday School class for Wifey.
It is a cloudy 60 degrees. Going up to 85 today with sunshine.
Today is an easy day. Wife is due home by noon, from her visit with daughter. I will take it easy and watch the ballgame. Indians won, again, yesterday. Looked like a street fight for a few minutes.
Y'all have a great Sunday.
Good Mornin' Ya'll From Crystal Clear Taxachusetts,
Had the 2 year old granddaughter for most of yesterday, wore us out!!! She crashed about 6PM, slept through the arrival of my daughter, SIL, and other granddaughter for dinner, slept through dinner, and remained out like a light until they all pulled out of here around 9:20PM. Daughter and SIL now want to know what our secret is for getting the one to nap for so long.
Still dry as a bone here, can't figure out why all the rain everyone else is getting keeps missing us.
Maximus woke me up this AM at 6:30AM. Apparently he perceived the Canadian geese invaders were back for another assault on the yard, and he was right. So I let him out and he thwarted their invasion right near the edge of the property. At the present rate my next door neighbor isn't going to have much of a lawn left except for a whole lot of dirt and geese poop.
Fifey......for Fifey Wifey. Jewelry works every time!!!! DougM.......c to your Drew, You have been quite the busy guy with B-days this past week!!!!
Dennis.......are you sure your wife is under the weather? Or was this part of her master plan to guilt you into painting the living room? Prayers for her if it is the former. Prayers for you if it is the latter, you got suckered again!!!!
Wife and I are off soon to help a friend with some stuff up in New Hampshire.
Later, gang. Best wishes for you lucky Yorkies.
Jack
IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Mornin' boys. Mostly cloudy & 57 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Sposed to get up to 80. Wifey wants dinner in HavreDeGrace today (Rails & Sails ). Til then, laundry and perhaps a little gardening. Spent a few hours at the dock cleaning the brightwork. I will oil the teak one day before work this week.
Stay foamy.
Morning...
Got the old rain be raining on our'n heads today...foggy and drizzly for much of the day..high be going up to 70F...tonight clearing off...then the winds come in for tomorrow...
Have some shopping to do today and a bunch of other HD things as well
Jack: We have the goose issue up here as well...sometimes though the neighbourhood cats will show up and bother the beeep beeep things...
FifeMax apparently feels its his duty to keep all flying creatures: birds, bees, butterflies, , , from Fifedom's airspace...
Aloha. Grey and warm. Big storms overnight - on their way to Mike C and SJ. Looks like a light well leaked a bit in the basement - oh well. more caulk. Prayers for your wife's rapid recovery, Dennis! This place falls around if they have to rely on me.
Kev, I loved your fueling station! Jack, the expenses keep coming: next week is anniversary.
Off to church and maybe some layout drawings later. Play tonight: Pirates of Penzance.

Good morning guys, 64, cloudy but no rain. Rained to the south all day yesterday and to the north all last night. Same problem as with RIJack. Good job on the granddaughter!

Looks like DougM got wet.
Prayers for all of those in the way of the tornadoes and to the families of those who have lost their lives.
Nice chat with Brutus last night. Nobody else came out to play. Must all be in bed dreaming of York.
Late for Mrs. Fife and Doug’s son Drew.
I will pray for Chief’s Senior Ladies Sunday School class today.
I will be working today on building a fuel storage tank out of some PVC to feed the new fueling station. I think it will be fine.
Y’all have a great Sunday, April 15, 2012
HI guyz,
56 here going to 80 today. Weather forcast for YORK Thurs-Friday, 68 both days. No rain. We hope?
FIFEs WIFE!!!!!!! Spoil her but good today MR. FIFE!
DENNIS, got big roomy bag from AIMPOINT booth in PITTSBURGH last year. But FIFE is right with my wife doing the porter work. Just don't tell her.
JACK, goose poop nasty stuff. My MINNIE loves rooling around in it. I don't know why dogs like doing that especially with poop and dead things. The stinkier the better.
