Evening folks,
Well Safari on the iPAD could not keep the CTT page open due to "too many redirects" but no problem opening the web page on IE. What's up with that?
Nice cool day here today - sunny. 60's. May have some rain the next couple of days.
Long day so calling it a night.
Good to hear from John (JEFelectric). See you in York!
LAZ - breakfast at RTC Diner on Friday morning?
Have a great evening all!
Regards, Roy
Ohayō,
It’s incredibly sunny this morning, but still a little chilly and windy. The wife took the youngest child to meet some friends for breakfast so the toddlers can wreak havoc together. They go to a place that has a nice play area for kids his age so they have a great time. I will be supervising the older two as they complete their schoolwork, as well as taking care of my own. The only item on the schedule today is a baseball coaches training session this evening. Hopefully I will make the Tardis around lunchtime.
Laz – I throw him knuckleballs as I can’t seem to get the curveball down.
Fife – Don’t get prettied up for me; I want an authentic experience. I hope the princess’s PT goes well and the itching stops.
Kev – I hope your daughter has a great birthday. I’m glad your eBay auctions are doing well.
Doug – I must be doing something right because he still enjoys it and regularly asks me to practice. It is possible to have fun while working on the fundamentals.
Banks – It’s good to hear your mom is feeling better.
Pat – I agree. One of the government’s slyest maneuvers was creating the withholding of income taxes. Before that, people had to send in a tax payment.
Sayonara,
Joe
Temp is 24
Granny says hi and thanks for the birthday wishes. The Red Wings are behind 4/1 so she's going to bed. She will listen to the radio broadcast. Most of you should remember those things, they still put them in cars. i had my banilla but restocked this morning so we have plenty for the Tardis..S.J.

Gonna be a low of 42 tonight. No mention of rain. Went to my fathers place tonight for dinner. Chili dogs with pepper-jack and cheddar cheese and onion. I had four, he got through three and a half. Probably going to need to double the insulin tonight.I salvaged a pair of spark arrestors from a Proto 2000 SW9 and put them on my Athearn KCS 4331 SW1500. I also got a little more cleaning up done on the layout. I can actually see the front of the firehouse now!
Sunny and in the 30's today. Supposed to be getting rain and snow over the next few days.
I'm working on a Portegse course through Rosetta Stone. I'm getting this through work. Interesting class, but I discovered tonight that being tired and not feeling too spiffy is not condusive to a good learning session.
Been busy, busy lately. Not much time for trains.
All for now.
Good Morning
We had an all day sun yesterday...wonderful but cold, as per usual this time of year. Today will feature more cloud than sun and our usual ....snowflurries...sigh
Yesterday was an...ermm...how do you call it...oh...an 'interesting day...another brokenpipeville kinda day...this time at work...in our basement...where we park our cars...thankfully it only got to 6" deep there...but it was interesting getting the cars out of there...and to find parking for them...
Today? More report writing and confusion as well...oh well...

KRM Lehigh Valley 2089 Getting late. Night everyone. Good night Jake. I hope you are feeling better.
Feeling sorta better. Now it's mainly congestion. (HONK! HACK!)
Good morning.
Same plan as always, but going to the local fire hall for a Jazz Band performance at 4:45.
Good morning. It's 45° with 74% humidity. The high will be 68°. What the heck happened to spring!Gonna try again today to do more cleanup on the layout. It's looking better. No other plans at this time.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR....
It is a cold and cloudy 22 degrees. Going up to 36 today with cloudy skies.
Today is a busy day. Wife is grocery shopping and I am doing the chores around the house. Put groceries away and have lunch. Then, a nice nap.
Dining car has arrived with Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Thursday.
Chuck
Hi GUYZ,
28 here and cold. Maybe SNO HI O again on Monday? WOW CHUCK you really got an in for us. HAPPY SPRING!!!!
ROY, I'll start a thread about a week out from YORK. But RTC Dinner sounds great.
CHUCK, GO TRIBE!!!!!
Stay frosty my friends,
laz57
LAZ..... Sorry. I wonder if I can Load the cannon with sunshine.
Baseball trivia..... The last game played between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Boston Braves was.... September 27, 1952. It was played at the Braves Field in Boston.
Yankee Attack!!!!! High today, 45 with winds and sun. Mid 20's tonight!!!!! Warming to mid 50's tomorrow [suppoe to be mid 60's]. Staying cold through Tuesday with cold rain Sat. night and Sunday.
Morning all. Not as busy today. Got a noon ribbon cutting in new subdivision. Hope to get upstairs and remove exhaust fan and spotlight fixtures from old train room. Then patch all the holes.
Taking Wifey out to dinner tonight. 27 years.
MTH DCS is a piece of junk!!! Trying to add an engine that was in my remotes but disappeared. Will not add. Have it on a "add track" running right out of the TIU. Says check track, engine error. Do not have that problem with TMCC and Legacy. If Lionel made more NS engines, would not mess with it.
Belated Happy Birthday to Granny and KEV's daughter.
Continued prayers for Alexis.
Hope all have a good one.

Yesterday was kind of a difficult one. A former colleague, mentor and friend was shot and killed at his home in Colorado night before last. He was a good guy and to learn of his tragic death was heartbreaking news. Still difficult to accept.
dougdagrump - that was some railroad in the Youtube video you shared the other night. Thanks for sharing it.
laz57 - thanks for the nice comment about the photos - work on the railroad continues to progress slowly. It is fun though.
fifedog - Yeah, I'm watching the clearance. I don't have any really big diesels other than a couple of E-7's, but I do have two B&O EM-1's that require a lot of clearance space on my O72 curves. I took up the track to ballast it, but think I am ok. If not, I'll have to bring out the chisel and go back to work on that rock face.
Lion88roar - I hope the talk with your 19 mo. old went like you wanted and the issue is resolved. If not, you may have to have a talk with the cat.
Kev - like the smoke unit for the cabin and the great looking 1615! Very nice!
cnw1995 - Blackhawk War? I am going to google that after finishing this post.
Rt - Very nice looking Hudson. Being a NYC fan, in my view, there is not a better looking locomotive!
Banks - "Bo....there are some of us who only post once or twice a week, some even less." - that is probably about my speed. Thanks!
Zero Export - enjoyed your story about the headlight. Years ago I used to do some of my own work on the car. Now it is pretty much a matter of pulling up to a garage and asking how much is it going to cost! They're just way to complicated for me to work on anymore.
LV 2089 - very much enjoyed the video of the USN "Dauntless" Dive Bomber. My only question after watching the video was, what would you do with a WWII Navy dive bomber? Trains look safer. Glad you're feeling better.
Jeffrey - Glad you are making progress on the cleanup. I like that fire station, but it looks like there may have been a fire while the crews were out on a call!
Well guys, have a good day. I am having lunch later with a couple of fellows I used to work with. I am sure we will reflect on the loss of our friend and former colleague. Take care, Bo
You can visit my website Bo's Trains at http://www.bostrains.com . Thanks!
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the teens. Where is that global warming everyone talks about? And the hits just keep on coming. Something bad happened again on that which I cannot talk about. This occurred on the day before maybe some progress toward a resolution might be made. Today daughter gets the drainage tube taken out as well. When it rains, it pours. At least work is quiet. I am tired, guys, just tired. They say God does not give you more than you can handle, but I wish He did not have so high an opinion of me :-)
No Beacon tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
A quick sip. Besides I don’t like coffee so it is Pepsi for me. Got to run to town and send two more packages. Only one left if the guy ever pays.
Bright sun but like with BOC cold. Was 12 degrees earlier. Don’t know what Chief is crying for.
BTW Happy anniversary to Chief and my condolences to your wife for having to put up with you for 27 years.
Bo, sorry about your friend. Is he the one on the news that ran the prison system? Sad indeed.
Mike, prayers for that you can not talk about and your daughter. You will pass God’s test.
I am glad you are feeling better Jake.
V8Dennis, Check Antique Vintage Briggs and Stratton on the bay. It seems there is a lot of guys restoring them.
Good luck on the cleanup Jeffery,
I got to run, Have a good day
railhead53Jeffrey - Glad you are making progress on the cleanup. I like that fire station, but it looks like there may have been a fire while the crews were out on a call!
Aloha. Sunny but freezing again. Looks like snow over the weekend. May have to adjust some things to avoid it. Some of our electronics are acting up. I need to spend some time forensic'ing. BOC, when it rains, it pours... Bo, I heard about that shooting and am sorry for the tragic loss of your friend. Mike C, praying for strength for you during this hard season. JoeD, wish you were my boy's coach. Of course, it's so cold here, the local teams are pushing back everything. When I grew up, we only played in summer. Now Little League (and certainly outdoor soccer) begin pretty early.

Temp is 22, this March weather really s##ks. The Michigan fruit growers won't have to worry about (too) early blossoms being killed by frost this year. I think we will both stay in today and just goof off...S.J.
Alexis, hope your feeling better.
KRM/cnw1995 - yes, is name is Tom Clements and he was only 58 years old. Worked with him for years here in MO. Such a tragic event. Very sad.
Chief - Happy 27th Anniversary! Bo
Good Morning, 34 and cloudy at the Jersey Shore. So far we missed the rain and snow predicted.
Happy Belated Birthdays to Granny and Katherine!
Had a great chat on the Tardis last night. SJ, confirmed with Doray and we will be getting the first batch of Lemon Ice Cream of the season! Plus a few other flavors! Charlie, I am bringing the Fox's U Bet!
I have a few errands to run then it is pack up what i am working on tonight and head off for an evening at Mom's. She did good at chemo and the Doc's visit yesterday.
Bo, I know what you mean being overwhelmed keeping up here. I missed 1 day and it took me an hour to catch up. Your layout is great! Prayers for your friend and his family. I think I may have read about him in the paper yesterday.
Joe, I would like to meet you at York!
Jim: Congrats on the 200,000 mi.
SPMan: Ray, Good luck with MTH.
Brent: I hope that it solves the problem. Looks like Christina is in the Terrible Two's Stage early. Good luck. We went thru it also.
Submmbob: We should call you "Trader Bob". Cool Deals!
DougDG: I better not show that Easter Train to AF53. It may "wind up" at my house!
Jake: My last half of Senior Year I could not wait to get out! But it was a different era and a lot of my friends were older.
Ryan: I hope your wife gets over being angry soon. That must have been a torturous ride to the airport.
RT: Nice Hudson! Better yet, how do you get your wife to paint?
John F: Hope to see you at York!
Laz, Roy: The RTC for breakfast sounds great!
Have a Great Day!
John
AF53, Ray, A package has arrived!
Chief: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and your Wife.
Chief and bride, Congrats on the 27th.
Quick slide by. Now I really have a short on my layout. Major re-wire on the horizon. Princess can't get comfortable today.
Chief - Happy Anniversary.
Bo - Sad news concerning your friend.
Chief, Happy 27th and many more. Re MTH DCS, I feel your pain. Just sent one back for repair work against my better judgement.
Ray
SPMan
Congrats on 27 years Chief.
