Sorry Buckeye. It just started snowing around 5:30 [5 1/2 hours later than forecasted]. Not going to accumulate like forecasted. Down at the farm [east of I 95] will get the most. I think they now say Roseyville will get 1" to 3". Should be gone by 6 AM. Big thing is tomorrow's high will be 27. Little melting. Chuck over shot again and snow cannon also backfired on you Yanks.

Hey Chief.....I got the South in my sights. Have fun.
Chuck
All the best to Don, I hope he heals quickly.

laz 57 CHUCK, I see you and BUCKEYE are scheming to hit the CHIEF with the SNOW CANNON. Better give him an extra dose of SNO HI O!!!! Stay frosty my friends, laz57
CHUCK, I see you and BUCKEYE are scheming to hit the CHIEF with the SNOW CANNON. Better give him an extra dose of SNO HI O!!!!
A big to Chuck for hitting the Chief and Roseyville with 5 to 8 inches of snow this evening!! All of us in the beautiful white covered fields and valleys of the North, congratulate Chuck for his outstanding efforts in making the Chief's life more exciting. (Remember who gets the complaints when the streets are not plowed, THE Mayor!! )
Don.....Make sure they don't use that cheap metal plate from Roseyville again. Get well quick!!!
Jon....Welcome home!!! How does your 16 degrees feel? Our 4 degrees feels good since there is no wind. I doubt if I go to the beach, but I might head out to the lake to see the penguins and polar bears.

Text message from Kaye. Don is out of surgery. Bone did not heal right and that is way metal plate bent. Did some bone grafting and something else. They think this will heal right. More news later.
Here is one for you.

Good morning! 15 degrees and partly cloudy.
Took the dog to the vet this morning for a checkup and his shots. An expensive morning to be told he is very healthy. Money well spent.
Don & Jon: Prayers that all goes well with a quick recovery.
RI Jack: Doray had both done at once. She is progressing well. She just started walking without the walker. Stiff but doing it.
Doug M: Glad to hear you are doing better. Speedy Recovery.
SJ: Keep Warm. Think SUMMER!
Enjoy the Day!

Morning all. Chilly 32 degrees and dropping. Air feels icy. Snohio due by middle of the afternoon.
Jack, schools closed and no snow yet. Actually, the school system is so large they do a 3 tier bus system. Elementary lets out first, then middle and then high school. All use the same buses. If they had gone to school, by the time it started snowing, would be hours before the last bus delivered the last kid.
Highways were covered with brine solution by yesterday. Even secondary roads. Nice thing about being retired, don't have to do anything but look out the window and smile.
LAZ, actually the guy forgot eggs. Its bread, milk and eggs. WHY???
Don is in surgery or being prepped. Kaye will call or text me when he is out. Prayers.
Jon, you're next. Prayers there too.
Hope all the Yanks stay dry and warm. Mush Mush
As long as I know Buckeye is getting more snow than me, I'm happy.
Later
PS: photo of Fred's deer feeder. Twice now squirrel has eaten hole in side and crawled in to get corn. Actually I walked up to feeder yesterday. Two squirrels ran away when I got within 10 feet of them. Hit side of feeder and squirrel jumped out the other side from hole. Only feeder that this has happened too. Must be same squirrel.
Will patch with metal plate and spray with rubber sealer.
Jack it's -7 degrees even the sled dogs want in the house.
As of last night, Doug M. was progressing as expected.
Good Mornin' Y'all From Sunny But Cold Taxachusetts,
The weather from points West are upon us as the overnight temperatures are reaching single digits, will be for the next three days. Snow on Saturday, but just a dusting.
Jon and Don (sounds like a duet), I will be thinking healing thoughts today for your imminent surgeries.
Chuck.......you've got the coordinates perfect on the snow cannon. The Chief should get hit pretty good tonight. The Southerners are not very resilient.......Chief says schools are closing due to one inch of snow.
Bob......check Clawde's weight. You don't want him to get fat. Glad to hear that the Corvan progress continues......don't think I have seen one in decades.
HudsonJohn.......a 65 year old friend of ours had both knees replaced, one last August and one in October. He is making wonderful progress. We saw him Christmas and I was astounded at how well he was getting around. He was using a cane most of the time but I saw him walking without it and no limp......he was practicing. He said flexibility has been a challenge, and he says the second procedure seems to be coming around more slowly. I hope your wife's progress is as good as his. Where is AF Ray hiding out?
MikeC......is it Indy car that has the series in 2014 that is running all electric cars? I suppose it won't be long before we all will be in a hybrid and then pure electric after that. Rich and Banks will be in a state of total depression when that happens.
LAZ...........no mention of Ole Mils. Did you run out? More important than bread and milk with this weather! We went to a freind's house in Maine Sunday afternoon for pizza and beer, and I brought some beer for everyone. I went to put it outside, right by the kitchen door, when I saw there was no room in the fridge. The wife asks me : "Why are you putting it out there?"
SJ......get out there and feed the sled dogs.
RT........please read Chuck's posts. Loafing is an art form. Learn from the experts.
I can't wait until we get the weather forecast from the California boys. It is is the highlight of my day, weather porn so to speak.
Where is Roy?
JoeyD.....rumor has it that the Yankees are getting new, looser fitting uniforms this season. That is so the Depends fit under there.
Mitch......when I saw that photo of you with the nail gun all I could think of was Danny Glover in one of the Lethal Weapon movies doing in a bad guy with one.
JimmyT........I read on the net that Windows 7 support from Microsoft is the next to go, after XP support goes away in April..
Later, gang.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill.........
Good Morning, Joe..........
It is very cold. 16 below. Going up to 10 today with no snow.
Today is an easy day. We are making homemade soup and relaxing. I will do some reading after a few chores. Lunch and a warm nap.
Dining car had Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great and warm Tuesday.
Hello all
Like the new rear shocks. After 49 years the originals were just trim.
8N - the turbo would bolt on, just not fit under the engine lid of a Corvan. They sit up kind of tall compared to the dual Model H's, even with the sidedraft Carter (which is problematic anyway, I had one on a motorhome w/ a 225 /6).
Jack - Clawde's 'roomates' were missing when I got home
So an un-named major model train vendor managed to charge me to ship an item from a town in their home state....to their location When the order status clearly shows it to be shipped to another state. What is up w/ that? Won't be using them again
Time to find a pillow.

A newbie. Welcome to the Pot.
Was 65 degrees in Pinetops NC this afternoon. At dark 62. By tomorrow night, forecasted inches of snow. Walked my legs off this day. Sometimes in dry soil, some in mud and some braking ice on top of big mud holes. Schools are already closed in Edgecombe Co. [where farms are] Strange.
Windy and temps dropping. Now they are saying we have have inches by night fall tomorrow night. Meetings are being postponed. We'll see.
Tired. Sleep tight.
Good Evening All !
Well everything seems to be a go for the surgery tomorrow. Trains are all secure, power shut off, and every thing taken care of. All Pre-Op tests completed and ready. There is only one thing I am confused about, got a call today that a "Bone Stimulator" has been prescribed by the Dr. . So this guy (sales person type), came out to the house delivered the unit, and provided instructions on usage. I know I am getting older but when did they start prescribing these types of devices for a hospital visit. Hmmmmm
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, I am certain everything will be fine.
So you all take care and talk with you later. AND Stay WARM and HEALTHY !
Don
Good evening all,
Skin checkup was ok. There is a spot he wants to check on in 3 months. Could have done a biopsy today, but did not feel like a slice and dice in this weather. Cold here but no snow last night so roads are clear. Went thru more stuff today. A lot of it is genealogy work my mom did and my daughter wants to work on later on when the kids are gone. We box up and store upstairs. Not much else going on. Back to work tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
dougdagrump Mornin' All. Jon, I see Mother Nature is giving you a nice "Welcome Home". Are the Brass Monkeys starting to sing soprano this time round. Prayers for your and Don's surgery this week.

Holy Cow it's cold!!!! This would not be a good day to put your tongue on the flag pole. The wind chills are well below zero and it's simply dangerous outside, in north east IA they pulled the state plows off the road last night as it was impossible. A 12 car/semi accident closed the interstate because of visibility in that area. Hopefully the winds will subside tonight as we go south of zero again. We have no snow on the ground so that's a real plus.
I did make two appointments this morning and that felt good, hair cut tomorrow and pick up an absentee ballot for Feb. 4 vote. Both cars are serviced and clean, sadly I won't be able to drive for six weeks so I need to buy a blindfold as my wife will be driving ......... full time. Neither one of us are looking forward to that. Our four year old grandson is coming to be with us this weekend, REALLY looking forward to his being here, he's my Train Buddy
We sure enjoyed LaJolla last week and the big waves, the locals were really talking about the waves -- simply gorgeous. I was also impressed with all of the hard corps adult swimmers in wet suits swimming through that surf, especially impressed when the water temp was 59! Doug, you live in beautiful state and we sure enjoy visiting, especially in the winter. I hope maybe next year or the year after to rent an apartment or extended stay place in San Diego for January. Of all of the warm weather places we've visited SD is our #1 choice.
Jon
So many roads, so little time.
lion88roar Mornin' FellasNot much going on... just some project planning and vacation planning. Speaking of vacations... no York this year for me. We are planning two family vacations so I'll need to bank my time. As for OSes. Windows7 Home Premium at home and Windows7 Ultimate at work. Windows8 is designed for touchscreen devices (phones, tablets, Surface, etc) if you don't have a touchscreen monitor it is a bit cumbersome. 8 is built off the 7 platform with a different interface. I have not messed with it enough to know if you can which it to run like 7. I have heard a bunch of rumors that Microsoft is no longer updating drivers for 7 and also hardware manufacturers are starting to drop 7 from their supported OS list. If this is the case it will be the fastest OS in History to lose legacy support.

I thought is was XP that is losing support?

Anybody have one of the animated mail cars from Lionel or K-Line ? If so could you post a picture of the "mail bags" that are kicked out by the figure ? I'm trying to give some additional detail to the RPO that came with the L&N RK passenger set. I thought that they may be what I need to give the car the look of some mailbags waiting to be sorted by some on board clerks.
Gotta get in gear and get some stuff done.
Later all.

Brent......thank you for your expert advice. I don't have a touchscreen monitor and guess I will be forced to learn something new and go with 8.0 or 8.1. My daughter is tech savvy and will get us through this conversion. I have until the beginning of April to make the change.
There must be a boatload of others here on the Forum that have Windows XP and are in the same boat as I am.
My daughter has already observed that the wife and I should also be in the market for a new desktop while we are at it, or just move to laptops permanently. Wifey has one for her own use. Daughter's observation: the glitches on my old iron will just keep on coming.
submmbob Hello all ..........'Clawde' just got two new 'roomates' (crickets), that is until he decides to eat them... Bob
..........'Clawde' just got two new 'roomates' (crickets), that is until he decides to eat them...
Bob........I spit out my coffee reading that!!! I told my wife we need to get one, but she was not amused. I can just picture the fun I would have telling her that Clawde's brother "Hortence" escaped!!! Dobermans are good mousers, as good as having a cat.
Woke up at 3 am with no power. Still no power and temps around 7 degrees. Running all the faucets in the house.
traindood Morning fellas and gals: Balmy 30 degrees here. Great spectacle for hockey yesterday. I won't mention where they played but you could look it up. Weather was perfect for out door hockey. Brings back good times when my sons started playing pond hockey. They would be playing now but the lake is partially drained to build new dam. later.

Think good thoughts, do good deeds!
Good morning all,
Prayers for D.Baker and Jon for upcoming surgery.
Kind of tired from getting up too early yesterday to see the Big Boy. Had runny nose all afternoon and took some cold medicine to stop it. Slept soundly last night.
Went out to eat last night and had prime rib. It was yummy.
Our son is returning from Daytona tonight.
Bought a lot of stuff yesterday for the swimming pool which was suffering with fall out from the fire in the hills here. It was getting a green tint so I got some stuff to get rid of that and a lot of super chloronation with filter running for 12 hours. Will recruit my son to vacumn it tomorrow and then add some other pool first aid stuff.
later,
Ray

Somewhat overcast here in the Ol' Pueblo today.
Right rear flexible brake hose is replaced on the 4dr. The left will have to wait until I can order a pre-bent line. I ended up twisting off the short piece that goes from the hose to the wheel cylinder. Bill was able to bend a new one to fit. We also presented the sheet metal to the Corvan. So far, so good.
Jack - turbo will not fit on the Corvan w/o serious mods. The engine sits rather low for the rear loading area. Toyed w/ the idea of putting one on the car, but I'm guessing it would prob run too hot in the summer. Will stick w/ the dual Rochester Model H's.
Dennis - yeah, it seems the unusual tends to have an attraction for some. It also helps that they made like 2 million Corvairs. Makes parts fairly available. Would like to see the 'innards' of a Fiero some day.
SPRay - good to hear the news on the #4014. Will have to check out the websites. Hope you can get the Northern fixed. For steel parts and gears I really like the Lucas Red & Tacky grease. For plastics I use the Labelle teflon stuff.
'Clawde' just got two new 'roomates' (crickets), that is until he decides to eat them...
Today, a haircut is planned, work meeting, pick up the shocks, and maybe some more car work.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill........
Good Morning, Joe......
It is a sunny 40 degrees. Going up to 47 today. Snow is melting.
Today is a busy day. Wife is grocery shopping locally. The city of Cambridge is under a level 2 and the roads to it are bad. I am doing a few chores and the lunch. Maybe a nice nap , later
Prayers out to all that need them. Lots of surgeries, lately.
Cheerios on the dining car for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Monday.
