fifedog Thanks BC. RockIsland - She goes back to surgeon on 29th. I'm thinking back to school soon. Different topic:Saw a handsome set with RI General at YORK, but just didn't suit what I wanted. At the price ($225), probably kick myself in the future.

Parking loaded hoppers on bridges during heavy water is a common practice among railroads.
KRM - Didn't see and of those RioGrande sets this time. Tons of Coca-Cola sets, and you could grab one of those Generals for $100. Too red for me. Wouldn't mind grabbing one for a future repaint though...
Chilly start to the day. Rain coming in later. I hear we might make it into the low 60's.
The wife is picking up more lumber for me so tonight I can continue on my platform!
AF53 RJ - Congrats on the anniversary! 24 years means many things, like give and take. You and your better half have persevered and lucked out. Me and the wife learned allot from our grandparents as far as marriage goes. Apparently we have passed this to our children. They are not married yet but have told us what they have learned just growing up around us.

KRM Doug and RJ I hope you guys had good anniversaries yesterday. It was a nice quiet night in. We had hamburgers and tatter tots. We went out over the weekend for dinner. We wanted to renew our vows next year but the son is getting married so we decided not to invade on their first year. Guess we'll shoot for the thirty year mark.
Doug and RJ I hope you guys had good anniversaries yesterday.

RJ,
Sandra and I will hit 27 years of marriage this year and 31 of being together The key to our success has been whenever we would get into a fight we would wake up the next day and move on.
We seldom fight these days but back in the day I left some to be desired.
And it helps to remember everything she said is right and everything you said is wrong.
Good Morning from a Cold, Overcast, looks like it is read to Rain Jersey Shore.
Today it is work on my son's truck for a bit and then class tonight. I put Supersmoke in my 736 Berkshire and my 685 Hudson and smoked up the house yesterday. That stuff is unbelievable.
Jack: That is exactly what we are doing with Mack. The vet is happy with his weight and general health.
Dennis good deal on the pellet gun and good luck bidding on the Alcos.
Jeffrey: I hope the meds work out for your nerve problem.
BOC: Great News from the Doc!
Chuck: Had my Cheerios this morning.
Rich: Prayers for you and exGF's Dad.
Have a Great Day!

We just got back from the grocery store. $$$with wings. About an half hour chat with some of the guys last night and got caught up on the latest news and RTs packages. Gas at York was $3.23 here it's $3.79 this morning..S.J.

The good news: I got the job I've been after since last April.
The bad: Decided to take the Mustang out last night. Had a girl run a stop sign, then stop in front of me. At least $1500 in damage according to the estimate. She admitted fault both to me and the officer. Begged me not to call the police since her inspection was expired. Never called anyone so fast.
Looking for another 05-09 GT. Don't want this one back after it's fixed.

What helps me is nodding my head in agreement, all the while my brain is working overtime trying to figure out women's logic, which too often is illogic.
I am off to work on some toilets that the grandchildren and the wife have monkeyed up, once again. I think a session of "toilet flushing 101" is in order, but I doubt the students will listen and I will be back at it within a week or two.

JimmyT.........FANTASTIC!!!!!!! AT LONG LAST!!!! Two jobs in hand and YOUR decision to make!!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!
On the other hand, sorry to hear about the accident with your Mustang. I know how hard you work to keep it pristine. I think you called the police just to get "her" phone number. You seem to prefer the 5.0 over the 4.6 but I am not sure why. Mustangs haul with either engine. And why you would trade the known (your car) for the unknown of someone else's?
Jack
Good morning. It's 73° with 77% humidity. It's cloudy and the high will be 80°.No particular plans for today. I may work on the layout later depending on how I'm feeling. I still have the nerve pain in my right arm and hand but it's not as intense as it has been. It's kind of funny that I don't like the sensation as for most of my life I haven't had much. I could easily do without it and I hope the sting continues to fade.

Jim,
That is great news on the job front. You have been working at it for way too long.
$1,500 don't go far these days. Must not be too bad of a hit. I would agree with Jack and tend to keep what I know. Just be sure to use a good repair shop that you know you can trust to do it right..
Starting to rain again. SJ gas is $3.38 in town today.
Good morning all,
Happy anniversary to RJ and Doug M.
Jeffrey, hope the new meds agree with you.
V8 Dennis, how does the pellet gun get it's power. Do you have to pump up air several times to shoot it? Only one I remember was years ago when I was a kid some neighborhood kid got one and you had to pump the thing quite a few times to get a shot.
My youngest adult son is traveling in the East this week visiting some of our relatives I am living vicariously through him with some of the routes he is taking which is the same way we used to go to visit my grandmother when I was growing up. He is in North Carolina today to see my sister with the cancer whom we visited in November of 2011. She is still doing remarkably well. She lives in Jacksonville. He will stay with her and see some of his cousins for a couple of days then travel up to Suffolk, Virginia to see my brother and his wife and some more cousins. He will be back there for about a week and may go fishing with one of the cousins. I told him to eat some of that Eastern Carolina Bar-B-Que for me while there. He said he might do a little railfanning while in the area.
I was thinking about selling a train set on one of the forums but got cold feet when it came right down to it. Had to back off. I guess I'm not ready to depart with it yet. I'm reluctant to sell things on the net because if the buyer is not satisfied or something goes wrong with the item it creates a headache.
Wife's birthday on Thursday this week. She is going to get drivers license renewed on the same day which is the due date. She also has to see an orthopedic doctor tomorrow for back and neck pain following XRays she got a couple of days ago.
Redfire, sorry about the accident.
Fife is right about parking loaded cars on bridges that are in danger of flood waters. I guess they figure more weight will hold them down better against the current of the stream.
later,

Good Afternoon:
42 and a light rain. Worked on my son's 1984 Ford F150 4x4. We are going to do a complete resto on it. We have had it since it was new. He has been working it hard with his landscaping business. He is looking at another truck and take the 84 off the road. Just finished lunch, time to shower, relax and off to class.
GT Jim: Congrats on the job! I agree with Jack and Kev on the Mustang. $1500 is not much damage. Plus you know this car.
Jack: Toilets and flushing. Sounds familiar!
Jeffery: Hang in there!
SJ / Kev: I was pleasantly surprised atg the price of gas in York @ $3.23 a gal. On ther way home, we went home via Lancaster and it seemed the farther east we went the higher it got. Currently here the average price is $3.23 a gal.
Fife: Happy to see the Princess is doing better.

Looking for another 05-09 GT. Don't want this one back after it's fixed. Ummm... $1,500 in damage is just cosmetic damage. If there were drivetrain, suspension, frame damage you would be racking up the $$$. You did the right thing by calling the Police - always do that when you are in an accident - even if you are at fault. Keeps the other party from racking up their claim.My BMW took $4,000+ in cosmetic damage when I hit a truck tread at 60mph. Car hasn't run this good since I bought it.... so as long as the repair shop knows what they are doing you'll be fine.Got your PM back - thanks. You didn't answer the question though?
Brent,
Replied. Everything seems straight structurally. Core support is fine and the panel gaps are still even. I don't like the fact that the repair will be made with LKQ (salvage) parts. It's taken some kind of a hit before with the previous owner judging by the overspray around the front bumper/ RH fender.
Thinking someone needs to clone Fife after the runaround with the local PD. If it isn't an emergency, you have to leave a message on their machine. If it is an emergency, the recording says to hang up and call 911.
Going down to the station doesn't help either since they just have someone to answer the door without any officers in the place.

Not much going on
Jim, I just dropped 1,000 on parts for my truck, with me doing the labor. what a PIA
I'll sell you the soon-to-be-x 's Mustang CHEAP 1998 230K miles, V6
Its a nice car, runs well, but, well, its you know , uh a V6, Oh yeah, its a FORD as well, very embarrassing to be seen in
I've been a BOW-TIE boy from day one (ok, GMC)
LOL
I'll get caught up on the pot and address replies, a little later on

Why do some have REPORT ABUSE in big red letters? instead of the small icon?
does the software pick up on possible abusive word groups?
just wondering

Ryan,
I'll let that slide since we're on the same page with V6 "Mustangs" A Mustang without a V8 and manual trans isn't a Mustang to me. I want torque and sound.
I was pricing parts to do the work myself, but with what little I'd be saving, it wasn't worth it. Nothing about this is beyond a bolt on ( no filler or metal work needed) and paint.

JimmyT......Brent is right on the money. You neither have to accept non-factory or used parts, nor do you have to take your car to an insurance company's (hers or yours) "approved" list of collision shops. You can choose your own.
And you should be provided a rental car as substitute transportation.while yours is laid up.
Re the accident forms......the police here and in Chicago don't customarily show up at an accident scene unless there are injuries, the vehicles cannot be moved, or they are obstructing the roadway and safety. Get the form to report it from the police officer that comes to the door, fill it out, and return it to the department. That is the record (yours) that will follow the accident. And your pictures and schematics in the form will substantiate your claim. They will give you a copy of your submitted form for your records and for your insurance company.
I don't think you need an attorney. I have been in your boat and if there was any problem my insurance company made me whole and protected me regardless what the other insurance company says or does. And don't be surprised if her company decides, based on her explanation, that you are at fault!!!
By the way, since you have a responsible party (with insurance), you are not required to pay any deductible.
Hope this stuff helps.

Jack,
I made sure to leave the car and truck right where it was, blocking a busy road/intersection. When I was asked if there were any injuries, my reply was " No, no injuries yet that I am aware." Had two units there quickly.
One thing that amazed me was that you can be involved in an accident next to a busy gas station, yet not one person had the decency to even come over. Not one. A friend that lives down the street heard the noise and came down.
JimT - Brent and Jack are correct - it's your car and your money. If you get no satisfaction, work your way up the food chain. Make sure you have part prices, production figures vehicle maintenance records, pictures...any thing that proves you have a vehicle that demands the best quality parts. Don't take no. When I lost my '68 Hemi Charger, they were going to give my $1500.....I got $4000 AND the car (hey, it was 30 years + ago....). Suffice to say I wound up better off and a faster car to boot.
Went shopping with Mom, got some food items. Went to Home Depot for body screws and paint for my N5c project. At least I'm getting something done while I'm convalescing....
Still no paperwork from the County....I'll be a calling them tomorrow.
The local hockey team (Trenton Titans - ECHL) went belly up today. Mom & Dad plus my Sister and BIL all had season tickets....refunds are imminent..

Evening. Actually had un-forecasted rain last night. Misty cloudy and chilly this AM. Sun came out by noon and it warmed up. Did Town "stuff" most of the day. All afternoon shooting videos for Mayor's Shows. Camera man want to shoot the box. He wants to do it and then show later stages of development. We might.
