Morning all. Cloudy and cooler. Guess it is to clear off. 2.1" of rain yesterday. Not much happening today. Get ready to hit the road to Gettysburg tomorrow AM.
Good to get report from Mike C. Seems no un-American sport report.
No restaurant been mentioned to gather tomorrow night so guess I will skip that.
Have a good one.

Rain is gone, cold is back,Basement floor is dry.
To you Yokers, have a save trip.
Bruce, yes please don't say the S word. Ther used to be a guy here that lived up your way in London. He used the name Blown Out Cylinder or BOC but he has not posted in a very long time. I know he was fighting the BIG C.
Don, Here at the dealer, regular oil change is $45. Full synthetic is $65 and that is at the GM dealership.
Have a good day!

Kev/Don here at dealership Its like $55 but it includes tire rotation also and fluids like I'm sure yours do on the fluid part. I haven't looked at Goodyear or Firestone website for coupons in a while may have to do that next time I need oil changed dealer here sets mine for like every 5000 I think. it's 5 or 7 thousand I know that. And they do use the oil for over 75,000 miles on my truck.
Not much planned for today guys wanted to stop in and say hi and hope all you going to York have a good time. Talk to you all later

Gloomy and 55 this morning.
A lot of leaves fell overnight, we don't have trees but our neighbors share their leaves with us.
Hope the Yorkies have a good hunt and a safe trip.

Howdy All !
Been fighting with this blankety-blank software for a few days. Did a microsoft update and it seems that neither McAfee nor Windows Defender liked them, created lots of headaches removing/reinstalling, etc etc etc. Microsoft's error code support sucks.
Don, If your new glasses make you look like Mr Magoo just look on the bright side, you now have your Halloween costume.
Dennis, That's a LOT of chicken.
Regarding oil changes, I buy a apckage deal at my local Nissan dealer. It breaks down to about $20 ea as well as topping off any fluids etc plus a car wash.
Sure wish we could get some of that rain out here, dry as a popcorn fart.
The museum is having a "Halloween Spooktacular" on the 26th, nobody had signed up so the regular Friday crew has volunteered and even talked our spouses to come in as well, if all goes well we will all be in costume as well as running the our halloween trains. Should be fun ! The best part is loading up all the Tric-R-Treaters with sugar and sending them home.
Safe travels to all the Yorkies, hope the weather co-operates.
A belated to Ray.
Later all !

Getting ready to travel to G'burg PA. Sister-IL and Great Niece are staying in OUR room too. Sister-IL forgot to reserve a room. [as usual]. Can't understand why, out of three girls, my wife got all the brains [well, sort of. all are blondes]. I think when they were giving out brains in Heaven, my two Sister-IL's thought they said "trains". They jumped on board and left town. Also, now I have to go and pickup Great Niece [a few miles away] and then drive up near Richmond VA. Pickup up Sister-IL. This trip is going to be a ZOO.
Ray, didn't get a single bar-b-qed chicken leg.
Doug W, office computer had done the same. Had to go to compatibility and click on it.
Calling Banks' cell.
Good night.
Good evening all,
Just to make the Chief happy, I am glad to report the US Women's National Team in that all-American sport soccer won their first match in the World Cup qualifying rounds 1-0 over Trinidad and Tobago the other night. Quiet day at work. Got my ears lowered at home by "the saucy wench". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
PS Safe travels and good hunting to all the "Yorkies"
Good Evening,
First, If any of you are getting LinkedIn, requests from me, I apologize they are happening automatically, I cant stop.
Got the oil changed, went to Firestone was advertised at $21.95, got there and they said their store was doing them for $19.95! Partial synthetic.
Prayers go out for the Chief he may need them.
Don
Like Andy Williams crooned, "It's the most wonderful tiiiiiime of the year..." Can't wait to see everyone. Can't wait to follow the arrows. Can't wait to hit Cracker Barrel. However, I find myself having to wait for Wifey to wake up.
What is a little north of Toronto? Richmond Hill had a sign that said Toronto's highest and healthiest suburb back in the 1940,s. The street car came out to R.H. , it was the end of the line, before that it went to Keswick and on to Sutton where it would deliver passengers or freight back to Toronto. In those days the only train show was at Bob's Trains on Mount Pleasant Rd. or Eaton's or Simpson's. I remember talking Bob into selling me used Lionel latch couplar cars that he had got on a trade..

Cloudy and 57 this morning.
Not much news from York yet. I guess most spent the evening dining like the Chief. Well not exactly though, they have to pay for their meals.
I received one from Don Bakers email address, before he posted about it here. So when I inquired he advised me not to link up with it.
Thank you Don
Good morning, Slow day on the North Bluff
Hey didn't one of you California Guys purchase the Lionel “Black Bonnet" set a year or so back?

Hello Coffeepot Friends
Long time since I've posted. Had two great days at York. Met up with LAZ, Roy, JohnF, Fife, Buckeye, Banks, and some others whose names I cannot recall, for the perfunctory group photo. Rumor had that Chief was to arrive near dinner time. Hoping the photo will be posted soon.
Found a Std. Gauge MTH Western Maryland Cattle car. Also bought a CNJ Cameback Loco. It is command control, but I only run conventional. Might want to look into TMCC at some point.
Take care,
Mitch

lion88roar got a notification that Don Baker joined LinkedIn. I wasn't sure it was OUR Don, do I didn't accept the invitation. I did NOT, repeat, did NOT get an email from Don's email address, it was directly from LinkedIn because Don and I have conversed via gmail and my gmail account is connected to Facebook, LinkedIn, and a few other sites.
Yep, unfortunately that was me! Didn't realize what would happen until I clicked one button. Then it took EVERY email address I have and sent them that request. I really apologize for the intrusion, I don't mind connecting, but don't like their method.
Hello there from Indian Rock Campground in York
Relaxing after a long day. Started with breakfast at ROC diner then walking the halls of York. Capped off the day having dinner with Roy, Fife and CHIEF.. Details and photos next week after Mrs. & I get home.
Mrs is all ready crashed I'm soon to follow.
Prayers for those in need

Well then, I'm way beyond the end of the line. Things in this area sure have gone downhill since they tore up the radial line. Why, it's gittin' so's ya can't drag a dead horse down Yonge St. these days
I'm in the big town of Gormley where all of our tax dollars go towards transit,water, sewers, street lights, raods, boondogles.

Mornin' boys. Sunny & 53 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. 'Tis the calm before the storm, as grandson is coming over for the weekend. Wifey wants to sleep in. Tee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee.....no. We were both exhausted last night, after strolling all 7.5 miles of YORK. It was great to join jefelectric, laz, Banks, Roy, Hudson John, AF53 Ray, Buckeye, and MitchR (he lives!) at the CTT booth. I even coaxed my evil twin Carl Swanson to join us for a pic. Wished I could've spoke longer with everyone. Hopefully will get Buckeye out on the Chesapeake in May.
It was a good show, and well attended. Didn't hear any complaints of "tire-kickers", as folks were spending. We weren't there an hour, when Wifey spotted the ARMOUR version 3656 cattle car and stockyard I was wanting. There were plenty of the regular versions around, at tempting prices, but she found the one, and even shooshed another potential buyer away at that! Had a nice chat with my ol' buddy Tom at his table, then found a MARX 74 semaphore in pretty good shape. Other finds were a MTH ARTCo 19th century reefer, a new CW80 power pack, a replacement speaker for a Proto 1 F-unit, and some Dept 56 pieces to be used on upcoming Christmas layouts. Wifey bought the grandson a couple more Thomas wooden engines... My deal of the day was in the brown hall, where I picked up a whole box of Industrial Rail track for 60 bucks. I then talked with the guy from ATLAS, who assured me that they eventually would be expanding that line, but in the meantime I could used the #5 switch with my set-up.
Then we met up with the Chief and his ladies at the Quaker Steak for eat-em-ups. Good conversation and food was had by all. Thanks Banks for getting the table, and Roy for the appetizer.
It was a great day at York. I also was out of Dodge before the Chief showed up with the cuffs. Had a great time seeing everyone except the Chief. Met Angela Trotta Thomas the famed Lionel artist. What a great talent!!! I had a private lesson on the construction of flashing emergency vehicles.
I want to thank Roy and John for their continued York hospitality. Laz it is spelled Keim Lumber.
As the fifedog says, it is that wonderful time of the year.

I sure enjoy reading the York reports, wish we lived closer.
Rich -- have you enjoyed your new ride this summer? Sadly, my riding season is most likely down to 10 days.

So many roads, so little time.
Aloha. Grey and cold this Sat. I'll video-direct at the church this weekend. Lotsa services. Sound like York was great. Can't wait to hear more about what was purchased. Fife, that industrial Rail track is really nice. Going to try to coax the dog outside for a walk. I think I need to get him some sort of coat as he's shivering in low 50s... Well, he was a Southern dog.

Good morning all,
Had a rough night. Took some dieuretics yesterday but seems like they kept on working all night. Had to get up about 7 times during the night. Once every hour. Hope it is not connected with my diabetes. Need to get this checked out next week if it continues. Everything medical always happens on the week end. Never fails.
Got Don B's message to ignore the Linkedin invitation but never answered it anyway. However it saved me a phone call to Don
Hope all you guys in the East had a good York experience. Looking forward to picture or pictures.
I was supposed to go with my kids today to see the Gold Line light rail ceremony in neighboring town of Azusa but had to pass because of my aforementioned problem. They are driving the last spike on the new extension from Pasadena to Azusa/Glendora.
