Morning all. Off to a lunch meeting. Last from 11:30 to 2. Clouding up and rain later today and tonight. Off to the lake house tomorrow and maybe whole weekend. More dock stuff.

Good Morning Everyone, 24 and overcast Down the Jersey Shore. We are on th weatherman's "Undecided Line" for the snow. This is the time that I get concerned. But since the snowblower is running and I have plenty of gas the snow will probably miss us. The best part is that I am retired and am missing all of the fun with the "Storm Preperation Conference Calls".
Brent: Congrats on Matthew.
DJ: That sounds like a Great Trip to Atlantis.
Mike C.: Prayers for your daughter.
John F.: When Mom is done with the treatments, I will be heading to do some volunteer work also.
Kev: Layout is looking good!
Jeffrey / Ryan: The manual is somebody else's idea how it should work. We know better!
Jim T: Bummer about the ZW.
SJ: Stock up on the Banilla for the snow in. We were promised Lemon for York.
Brutus, Jim, Congrats on finally getting the Key. I bet you are as happy as you were at York when you bought it. Now it can run!
RI Jack: Be careful with the snow coming.
Have a Great Day!
John

Good morning. It's 58° with 97% humidity and patchy fog. It'll be cloudy with a high of 72°.Not a lot on my schedule today unless somebody changes it. The layout is in dire need of a cleanup but I just haven't gotten to it. I've figured out all the little things on the new video camera. I have video resolution set 720p (1080p is max, QVGA is min) and still photo resolution is set 5 mp (8 mp is max, QVGA is min). It weighs 3.4 ounces, records to an SD card (up to 32 gb), it has macro mode, lens aperture - F/2.8. The zoom is 4.0x digital zoom. The internal software though is pretty lame and the buttons are hard to use. Y\I have to be really careful with them. Some joker decided it should be blue (purple passion but looks blue to me) with gray characters. Both colors that I have trouble seeing. The AV interface is composite audio/video and HDMI. The unit is about as big as a deck of playing cards.

Good morning all,
Got a new puzzler, problem with DCS MTH engine. Yesterday, I accessed it with the DCS handheld controller and pressed the start up button. OK so far. The engine powered up and the sound system was working. I also checked the horn and coupler features which both worked. Then I tried to scroll the wheel to start the engine but it would not move. Same thing in reverse. Tried doing a feature reset but no change. I suspect that it might be a low battery issue. Have to take the shell off and see what kind of battery is in it. This is one of the earlier engines ACL E6 diesel so it might have the old style battery. If so I have a charger for that. If it is the newer type, I will have to get a charger because the old one is not compatible.
Got a form from the doctor yesterday in the mail to get a blood test prior to my next visit on 3-5-13. On the section where the doctor writes reason for test he included Chronic Kidney Disease. I don't know if I already have it or if it means they are testing to see if I do. He never said anything about it on my last visit recently. This is upsetting but better wait until I talk to the doc and not jump to conclusions.
Our irregular train group is getting together for lunch today. First time since one of the guys lost his wife.
Got to run,

Gooooooooood afternoon. Finally found some time to get on.

KRM sir james I Kevin like others, I watch your video and wait for the train to land on the floor. better do fix real soon.....S.J. It will be okay SJ. I am hooking up a Breathalyzer cutout switch like they put into cars for people with DUIs into the main power for the layout. Seriously, I am working on building a back wall for it today that I can build the hill slope of scenery off of as money allows. Once I figure out how to do that, that is. I need to use the neighbors table saw to cut a 16" section of plywood for the back wall but he is not here today. maybe tomorrow.

We used the neighbors table saw to cut two 16" sections of plywood for the back and side walls. So now we are good. I have to do some trim work on the one side but I will do it later. I will start my hillside from the top of the plywood.
Feel better now Guys? I do.

Looks like we are getting 20 inches of snow.Hope they are wrong.Be safe this weekend and be careful.I did get the rear end of the Suburban put back together.One of the carrier bearings let go,luckily it didnt wipe out the thing.Good for another 170 thousand miles.
Much better Kevin, now I can watch your video without holding my breath.
So far sun and 38 degrees today, snow arriving tonight.
CONGRATS BRENT [blue for boy].
Kev, better put something on this side too. That bench looking part will not stop those engines. I learned the hard way.
Cloudy, chilly and rain on the way. Luncheon was good and then met with my favorite Mayor, Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane. Big difference from the former Mayor.
Got to do proclaimation for FFA tonight at Rolesville Middle School. They want me to sign in person in front of the members.
Headed to the house from Town Hall. That is, if I can get out on Main Street. Traffic bumber to bumber this time of day. One ox cart, two goats, three mules and a flock of chickens. [I knew the Yanks would come back with that. SNOW STORM is getting even ]

So many roads, so little time.
Afternoon All !
Big Congas to Brent & Susan !
Dennis, Those guys neglected to stop as directed when approaching a security detail that had been dispatched to one of this guys "targets".
Jack, Hope you got a good supply of Brandy"medicinals" to gaurd against frostbite, just not while running the snowblower. Will it be equal to the storm of 1978 ????????
The Ca DemocRats are supposedly going to bring forward a bill that would require gun owners to purchase "gun liability insurance". Does such a policy already exist ? If they can't ban them they will try to price them out of existence.

No snow here Doug M, Have fun with that.
Jack and Chief, I have made full throttle runs in both directions with the NS Dash 8 40 Cs No problems.
But those NS engines are wimps like everything NS so I had better be more careful with the CSX Dash 8 everything CSX is better, faster & stronger!!
Batten down the hatches you guys up in the north, right, looks like it will be fun. be carefull and lay low till it blows past.
Night guys!
Congrats Brent and Suzie Q all great looking.
Evening all not a lot going on. Okay question I heard somewhere that when you paint the sides of your rails you dilute the paint with thinner well how much do you dilute 50/50, 75 paint/ 25 thinner ???
Hope all doing well about time to head out of here so talk to you all later.

Good evening all,
IIABSDISEI with temps near 60 before the rains move in. Good day at work, not so good other ways. Daughter is out of surgery, but they had to slice her open instead of labroscopic. Long recovery time. 3-5 days in hospital. 2 weeks recovery at home and 4 weeks off work. All sorts of complications with surgery. Thanks for the prayers. Congrats to Brent and Susie-Q! Some good news around here is welcome. Be careful, Doug M with all the snow. V8 Vega, thanks for the update. Be careful out there as well. TBIL but I cannot drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Ohayō,
TGIF; however, it will be a busy day for sure. It is sunny today and the high will be around 40. I will gladly take any snow you guys don’t want. I don’t have much else going on right now.
Brent – Matthew looks great. Congratulations again.
Kev – The backstop you added should make a great base for adding some scenery back there. I agree; there are no NS engines that could go fast enough to cause you any worry. Now, a Reading RR or LV RR engine from back in the day (before NS took over) would be a different story.
Mike C. – I hope your daughter’s recovery goes well
Sayonara,
