Good morning every one.   Just cant believe its February allready.

Happy Birthday RT,    

Jeff how do you know when someones birthday is?  is that a moderator only perk? or am I just not looking hard enough around the site.  

Thinking about diving in and suscribing to CTT to unlock the rest of the site.  I usually get it free at my LHS if I buy a bunch of stuff, and its a good exscuse to go there every month.

I am goning to safely say we are about half way through winter here. February can be pretty rough here, and March goes either way.  After April 1st were out the water

Looking like I'm gonna be short on fire wood this year, so back into the woods we will go.  (I have 3 - 5 cord cut and split but not covered...   so thats next years pile

we usually burn about 8 cord a heating season.

and when theres no fire wood theres no heat at the house.

every one have a good day

Well, it is early and cold today (about 4 degrees) and still dark outside.

Spent a lot of time yesterday trying to make one good 200 series motor out of parts.  I just can't get any combination to run.  I hook everything up and almost instantly it begins to smoke.  It's no big deal because I don't have any real stake in making these run. It's just baffling when everything seems to be in place (and I have hade success before with the same type of overhauls and fix-ups) and the darned thing won't run.

I did have success fixing a late model Lionel switcher (the CNW) that had a roller melt off.  I was able to successfully heat weld a custom crafted piece of plastic into the base frame after cutting, shaping and fitting. The roller remounted and the unit runs fine. Hopefully, this time, the locomotive won't be left on the mall layout derailed and short circuited,  It was pretty fortunate that I was able to make this repair and it seems to be holding.  Plastic is tricky to work with (especially controlled melting of pieces together).

Well, by the time I finished this message it is obviously going to be a pretty sunny morn, very red in the east now.

Good morning.

Bo: Here in Towanda, mustard goes on mac & cheese. Sandwiches get dunked in the mayo or ranch. Ew.

Nothing to report other than that there are going to be a lot of snow squals during the day and rest of week.

Konnichiwa,

Wow, I’ve never been one of the first ones to post before, but it does make sense since I’m in the future. 

I’m about to leave the office for the day and have a few minutes to post now.  I had a quick six-mile run this morning in some nice, cold air.  It was about 26 when I started my run.  It warmed up during the day to about 50.  I had a fairly easy day at work today which was a nice change to the past few Friday and I’m actually going home about an hour early.  The wife and I have dinner date tonight but we haven’t decided where we’re going yet. 

Bob – Please send me some of that snow.

Brent – Welcome back.  Have a safe trip to FL and I hope all goes well with the birth. 

Bo – I have a friend, who has to have ketchup on everything he eats, and I mean everything – it makes me  thinking about it. 

Brutus – I’m sorry to hear about the wife’s work situation.  Hopefully things will change and it won’t be the whole 21 weeks.    

Prayers go out to Peggy and the rest of us in need.

Sayonara,

Joe
