Nice weekend here. Sunny and high 690's/low 70's.
Chief - "Good morning America, how are you" - Wasn't that from Arlow Guthrey's "City of New Orleans" ?
Still busy, busy at work. I've logged about a week's worth of hours since last Thursday morning, even though I I've only spent a few hours in the plant yesterday and today.
Yesterday's trip to the LHS netted a 2013 Greenburg Lionel price guide. He has a complete Sears train set that was made by Marx. It has Santa Fe war bonnet diesels, three passenger cars, three freight cars and enough track and switches to make a loop with a passing siding. The original box is in reasonable shape too. I am considering it. A little more interesting is a Lionel TW transformer. I am seriously considering that.
Painted some trim today and spread some early spring weed & feed on the lawn today.
All for now.
Hello all
Well the Daewoo had to wait for a couple more gaskets. Head set didn't include them. Wasn't a Felpro set. This engine has a water inlet and well as an outlet and each has rubber o-ring shaped like Ohio or Illinois
One is in a nasty place beneath the intake manifold and since the original problem w/ this car was lack of coolant, I decided we should do it right rather than just hit w/ silicone and hope for the best.
Put the chain guard and the baskets on the bike today so it is pretty much done. Rode it downtown w/ a friend today.
Gotta run to walgreens to pick up a prescription.

Keep on training,

Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR....
It is a sunny 50 degrees. Going up to 60 today with a chance of rain.
Today is a busy day. I have the usual chores to do and some paperwork to do. Then, I can relax and have lunch. A nap for sure.
Indians came back yesterday. Won 13 to 0. That was a good game.
Dining car is here with Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Monday.
Chuck

I figure it will have to. It does give me more room for a larger layout but it takes room away from when we have people over. Oh well at least they'll have better entertainment this way!
KRM Buckeye Riveter ChiefEagles Kev, get well. The secret to shaking the REB germ attack is a big bowl of grits. That has to be one of the dumbest things ever posted in the last ten years on this forum. Not to worry Buckeye, I would rather put my finger down my throat to purge the Rebel germs than eat grits. Same effect but I would not have to let the grits pass my lips.

About the only thing I can compare the taste of grits to is that super laxative one takes just before getting a colonoscopy, only worse. Same after effects too.

Good morning all!
I have a couple of busy days at work ahead of me. I work for a smaller cellular/internet company. We are working through issues with one of the larger carriers. Fun fun.
It is supposed to reach 54* today but 100% chance for rain.
I need to set up to post pics. Any suggestion on sites? That way when I post talks of the man-cave or other things you will have a visual to go by.
Kev ... hope you're feeling better.
Dennis ... hope the body is healing after your fall.
I know I missed a bunch here but you're in my thoughts and prayers for healing. Just a rookie still.

RJ.......I tried that one with the wife over leaving the Christmas layout intact. Didn't work. She would rather the living room remain unused 99% of the time other than the holidays. Wasted space!! A receptacle for furniture and dust. The grandchildren do not agree with her.
PS: The Christmas layout is still up. Wife must be getting senile.
Jack, When cooking GRITS, mix in a quart of crushed blueberries. It comes out fantastic. Prettiest spackling compound I ever used.
Morning all. Pretty day. Sunny and high 70's. Need to be home working on garden and etc. May have to put on "Mayor's Uniform" and drive in to Raleigh for a County Commissioners' work scission. My library request is coming up.
Hope all have a great week.
Good morning boys. We got some thunder and rain around 4:00AM and I have been up since.
Cloudy and warm with another chance for rain later.
Sinus are still plugged on the left side but moving around will help. George just polished off the last of the milk from my Cheerios. I guess I will just see what the day brings.
Prayers for the families of those two children that were buried in the construction site in N.C. What a shame.
Have a good day

Good Mornin' Y'all From Overcast But 46 Degree Cape Ann,
Today I'll be joining you boys that have enjoyed the warmer weather. I would like to get down my first coat of lime and fertilizer but my wife has window washing on her my agenda. In that way we can see clearly the lawn that was neglected. I think it was SJ whose wife has him wash windows so frequently that he has to keep replacing worn out glass. BTW....hope Granny feels even better today, SJ.
Chuck and LAZ.....the Red Sox won 13-0 yesterday too.
Jake........you are not allowed to get sore after doing yard work until you are about 3 decades older. Us older guys use a muscle relaxant to get through these activities.
BOB.......you really love 2-wheeled vehicles, though I for one would have kept the motorized one you had.
8N......you get the lawn and garden award this year for being the first one to get the green rolling!! And thanks for the reminder!!!
V8......start wearing a helmet in the shower.
LAZ......where do your fish in your pond spend the Winters?
JEFF.....don't feel too bad. The sinus and allergy season is already upon us, even way up North. Lucky for me my wife and I have none but our two kids (adults) do.
Later gang.

Chuck,
Who wants to waste good blueberries like that? Personally, I think every box of grits should include a coupon for a free pair of running shoes.
Jack,
Do you want me to post some pictures to Pam's page? Might help the 736/ 2343 issue.
Been busy. Clayed and put a coat of cleaner wax on the Mustang last night, and I'll follow with another wax later. Interview at 11. Stirring the Probe pot in my spare time.

Redfire that is an excelant idea but its a 726 that jack wants but we could all post some pics of 736's ,726's and 2343's, 2333's, 2356's ect on her page so we flood her with them so she gives in so the pics will stop You know anything to help Jack

Aloha from a soggy, windy Chicago. Scratch one umbrella on the walk in. HudsonJohn, you are so right - action figure he is! Nice quiet Sunday; threw the baseball around with the youngest, took him to the park for the first time this year, caught up on some Doctor Who too.

Good Morning!
Sunny and 60 already! To think that we had the wood stove going last night. Going to take it a bit easy today. Over did it over the weekend.Doray and I spent last night just realaxing and watching TV with a couple of glasses of White Zifandel, next to the wood stove. Missed the Tardis last night. We were watching the PBS fund raiser with clips from the 60's bands on the Ed Sullivan Show and then we watched the shows we missed last week On Demand.
8n: My son would be drooling for the Marx Set. the TW is a great transformer. I have had mine over 50 years with no problems.
Bob: Good luck with the Daewoo.
Jack: My Christmas layout is still up in the living room. The living room and dining room is off to the side seperated by pocket doors and it is only used a few times a year. Doray is fine with it as long as I have it up for Thanksgiving. It saves me from going down in the basement.
Have a Great Day!
Good morning. It's 66° with 94% humidity. It will be cloudy with a high of 80°.I'll probably clean up part of the layout today but will relax the rest of the day. My sinuses are still making themselves well known.

The temp is 54 and we are expecting rain at some point today.
I'm running late this morning had some errands to take care of. I always use Grits to fill potholes on our street. Not sure the neighbors would like blueberry color though. No big chores for the day so Chuck and I will just enjoy our naps...S.J.

lion88roar Hudson#685 Brent: After reading that list of things to do, How Long Are Your Weekends? Well they don't appear to be long enough! Friday night I got the washer pump replaced, and the oil change done on the Murano. 1 hour for all of the work. Got up Saturday morning and sanded the wall and ceiling. Then vacuumed the mess. Then moved the furniture, got the spackling around the skylight done and then moved on to the back wall. Got a coat on that where needed. Done by 10:30. Then it was off to run ehrands. Sunday TheQ was under the weather so it was me and the kiddos. I did manage to get the wall sanded and a second coat of spackle on, then I tried to do the skylight - found that Christina knows how to climb ladders - that project ended pretty quick as I did not want to venture to the ER.Woke this AM feeling like I was squeezed through a 100ft 1 inch hose. Still not feeling well and if not better by noon I think I'm going to call it a day.On the way in this AM I witnessed an accident at MD 32N @ Linden Church Road. This intersection is HORRIBLE, they are replacing it with an overpass/interchange, but not soon enough. Luckily no one was seriously injured. BTW - if you witness an accident PLEASE STAY AT THE SCENE, it can be very helpful to law enforcement to sort out what happened AND please make sure everyone is OK.
Brent after reading all you did this weekend I think I am going to take a nap.
Take care of yourself.

Cloudy here, 70's, storms predicted for tomorrow afternoon/evening.
Regards, Roy
V8 Dennis, hope you are feeling better today.
Hudson, thanks for the kind words. Making time for others is one of the better things I do in spite of myself.
Jack, The Chief may have a few faults but good spelling is not one of them.
Had a surprise rain shower this morning. Not even forcast but we'll take it.
Looked at new progress report on the light rail extension they are building toward where I live from Pasadena, Ca. Suppose to be done by 2015. Hope I live long enough to ride it. It will come as far as the next town just West of us. The section through our town is not even funded yet so not holding my breath on that one.
Saw where the Iron Lady from Britain passed away. R.I.P. Mrs. Thatcher.
I never thought grits was such a sore subject. Come on you guys, man up and eat your grits. I'll tell you my secret. I eat cream of rice once in a while which looks like grits to me but don't tell the Chief. Dr. recommended it when I had stomach trouble. I did eat a lot of grits growing up though.
Went out to eat last night with family and friend. Had Bar-B-Que chicken dinner. Was pretty good but restaurant tried to nickle and dime customers for every little thing. Everything was extra. I think it would be better even if they had to charge a couple of bucks more to include soup or salad with a meal. Most places do. We have a family restaurant in our neighborhood which we go to a lot that includes all the extras with the meal and has large portions even if you don't need it. I call that place "The home of the wide load". You can tell by looking at the customers. Another place is a chain outfit. Interesting food but they have gotten too fancy and pricey. Guess the recession must be over because they cancelled all their bargain deals.
later,
Ray

I got my Kadee couplers today. Two packs of 147's and three packs of 119's. Now I can put the right type of coupler on the front of my FP7's. A 148 center shank is too low. The 147 has an underset shank so the coupler head is higher.
SPMan Hudson, thanks for the kind words. Making time for others is one of the better things I do in spite of myself. Saw where the Iron Lady from Britain passed away. R.I.P. Mrs. Thatcher. Annette Funicello passed away too.

RaySP......you indeed are a good friend and family man, have had more than you fair share of friends and relatives with setbacks and losses the past year. Come to think of it, you also seem to have been far more "active." Seems that trip out East was a catalyst of sorts for you. Bless you.
V8Vega Thanks for all of your concerns for my hurting back from falling in the shower. I was real lucky it still hurts a little but is nearly all OK. my leg that has been hurting is getting better also.

CHUCK........that sure is going to save me a lot of $$$ when I repave the driveway. They can't give grits away at the grocery stores up here in the Northeast and have shipped them over to the home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowes. Grits are currently being marketed at discount prices as a superior asphalt and concrete replacement.
JimmyT......thank you for thinking of me re the 726 (with Baldwin drivers) and the 2343. While I appreciate all of your help, suggesting you and RT post pictures of these Lionel engines on my wife's Facebook page in order to encourage her to buy them for me, the consequences to me might be lethal.
