Prayers Mike C.
KEV, its a ghost. Mice can move things like large pecans and store them.
Leaves have fall from pecan trees. Here is just under one at book garden.

Good Morning,
Glad to hear Chief is feeling better, hope it continues.
Hope Mike C, continues to improve as well, and the pain subsides.
Finished my maintenance on active engines, ALL are in great working order!!!! Then decided to do some old post war. Terrible squeal from a 2037, took apart to lube, don't know if I will get it back together or not. But will work on it.
Bob, came over yesterday, (with HIS engine, and HIS remote, self preservation). Anyway had a enjoyable time running a couple of trains, with NO flaws. Well almost, he was having trouble with his remote, "loose board", told him he pushes the buttons too hard. He killed the thumb button on one of mine previously, he has purchased 5 remotes, because they are "cheaply made".
Decided last night that I need to populate the Daylight passenger cars with Beep People. (The people are just laying around in a box. As a result will probably reidentify a store on the layout as a shoe store.
Kev, your post had me laughing.
Ray, Can't believe the difference in weather between our locations. This morning the news is talking about thunder, lightning, hail, mudslides, and rain in your, and Dennis's areas last night. When I got up this morning about 6:30 our patio was dry as a bone, and not a cloud in the sky.
Anyway, Take Care all and Stay Healthy.
Don
Drainage tube was removed and feeling much better. Still need pain killers but may be able to go to work on Monday. Wife and I finished jig saw puzzle. She did some shopping as well today. Still taking it easy. Will get to watch 2 soccer games on TV tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good day.

Humm, he must have taken all the shoes off of the Beep People before putting them in the passenger cars.
Sleep tight.
Update......
Finished the passenger loading of the Daylight with the Beepsters. Only one mishap, have two Dome Cars, got everyone seated and secured in their seat. They all sat their fine, NO ONE lost their feet or legs, which surprised me. Then put the dome back on the cars, first one went fine. Then the second one, this one only lady had her head up too high, as it turned out her torso was two long. Removing her feet wouldn't help. So the only thing left was a haircut, unfortunately went a little too far. Everyone's heard of the headless horseman, well I have a headless trainwoman. Guess will have to have a Haberdashery instead of a shoe store.
Mornin' boys. Clear and cold here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Need to clean downspouts and work on Christmas layouts today. Tomorrow, Day out with Thomas in Strasburg.
23 weeks...
On the home front, 90% sure we will be buying now. Everything wifey likes is either in a developement , on near Interstate 81 . Stay tuned.
Continued thoughts for those hurting, and healing.
Morning all. Clear and colder than Buffalo NY. Prayers for all those folks. So much snow roofs are in danger. Then the melt and refreeze.
Great Nephew's B'day lunch today.
Some handiwork around the house.
Off to Hunters Haven for a few.
Fifey, 23 will go fast. Stay safe.
Frankie ripping and raring to go back to work. Hope Dec. 1.
Prayers for Mike C.
OH, got new phone [old replacement had issues]. Samsung Galaxy 4. Great phone. Even come with workout/exercise app. Back to walking. Gives you complete data on trip and etc.
Have a good one.
Good morning,
Update: First victim in a sticky trap this morning. So I had to take him outside and put him out of his misery. I took George (the cat) down there last evening and he was pumped. He never goes on the table but last night he jumped up and crawled through the mountain tunnel and was looking all over the basement in High Intensity mode. I will leave the traps up cause I bet if there is one, there are more. Warmed up, Shotguns are going off all over the place. 1st Deer firearm season this weekend.
Fife, I agree on developments and interstates.

Good morning all,
Have not been able to get on line since yesterday until now. Problem was that the router that controls my computer and the one in my son's room was turned off accidentally. Called my son in North Carolina this morning where he is visiting and he told me how to fix it. Duh!
He is having a good time with the relatives in Jacksonville, N.C. He went fishing yesterday with his cousin and they caught some nice fish including Drum and Sea Trout. They had some for dinner last night. He has been invited to a turkey shoot tonight by his cousin.
Got some good news finally about my MTH 4-8-4 with the stripped gear. MTH is going to install a new drive block which includes the gear. Only problem is that turn around time is about 14 weeks. I don't care. It has been down for 5 months now anyway. I shipped it back to Maryland yesterday.
Glad to hear that Mike C. is doing OK. Get well soon.
Condolences to those who have lost love ones.
I think we need to eat out tonight. I need a break.
later,

Not a good day. Took pain pills twice. Felt nauseous twice. Went online and one of the side effects of this pain pill is nausea. Hmmm, coincidence... I don't think so. Watched a Thomas and Friends show on PBS and Manchester United defeat Arsenal 2-1. Laid around the rest of the day. Thanks for the support, guys. It is appreciated. Talked to Lucas today. He is doing well. Going to go rest some more. I hope everyone has a good day.
Evening all.
Along with the nausea comes a bout of constipation, Mike. Drink lots of liquids with pain killers. Hope you're feeling better soon.
As for mice...around here I always say it could be worse...it could be racoons. Sounds as if those mice were drugs your cat would have a job at the airport.
We escaped the threat of freezing rain today but those poor souls in Buffalo sure don't need what's coming their way.
Bought a lioncheif beginners set today. Just had to see what all the hoopla was all about. Great for beginners I guess. I'll probably kitbash the engine into something a little more true to scale since I have drawings of the USRA 0-8-0.
Ordered 2 ERR kits today along with 2 mini cruise kits for existing engines I have with TMCC. I'm really looking forward to doing the installations
Prayers to those in need and wishing all a great weekend.

Mike C - that is one side effect of the pain meds that I disliked, that and the 'flying' sensation, and the 'cloudy' head feeling. When I broke my arm I think I was off the heavy stuff and on 800mg ibuprofen in about 3 days... just had to be careful with the ibuprofen so switched between that and acetaminophen for about a week. Hope you start feeling better soon.Spoke with my Dad yesterday, he is doing better. Almost no pain now, but he doesn't like wearing the patch over his ear... Told him it was better than wearing The Cone of Shame! Fife - really? So don't see you guys buying a home... not with all the plans for a build!Got the rest of the hardibacker down today, and patched the hole I cut for the over counter lighting, now need to get it smoothed out and painted, then I can put the moldings back up around the windows. Christina and I went out to a few Lowes today to get the tile for the floor and back splash. Had a great time with her, haven't laughed that much in a long time (last time I saw Fife probably). She told me all about The First Thanksgiving (and she pretty much nailed it too), then she taught me The Pledge of Allegiance.

Hello all
Long night on the hill. Boss is reformatting a hard drive as I type.
Mike C. - glad the procedure went well. Hope you are feeling better soon
Chief - glad to see you following the doctor's recommendations
Good to see that Kev has caught at least one of his new interior designers:)
Work on the Corvan continues. Got the shifter apart now and we think we can fix the tranny issue w/o removing it. Who knows, in a weeks time or so it could be moving (at least around Bill's yard) under it's own power.
Clawde (the scorpion) passed away last weekend. Possibly just of old age. Had him just short of a year. Was pretty good size when I brought him home, so not sure how old he was. May get another at some 'point':)
Got the rest of the mechanical parts for the #60 trolley project. No body yet, but that will have to wait until more funds are available.

Help me.
Afternoon. Sunday School and Church. Great Niece sang solo. Cloudy and sprinkles. Suppose to be big rains tonight. Planning on going eat tomorrow and hunt for a few.
Have a great week ahead.
Brent, they grow up to fast. Soon you will be walking her down the isle and giving her away. Sooner than you will want.

It is war now Bob!!!!!!. Last night one drug off a sticky trap all the way across the basement and then got out of it.
Now I have 4 sticky traps with peanut butter and 4 snap traps with peanut butter set.
Raining today. So I have been setting up the Car show scene today. Not much else from the North Bluff Above Marseilles.
Not a good day. The constipation issue some of you mentioned was a factor today, but it got resolved I hope. Feeling worse each day instead of better. I hope everyone has a good day.

Mike, Not a doctor but they have you on a lot of stuff to keep you from getting infection. The dark side of that is it stops your good bacteria from making you go. Get some over the counter Florajen3 and make sure it is Florajen3 not just Florajen. It will replace the bacteria needed to process your food and help you with the constipation issue. Old folks know. And it is what my doctor told me to do,,,,,it works.
And Oh yeah, you will have to ask for it because it is kept refrigerated.
Thank you for all those who have prayed or sent a kind thought. It has been a tough time. My Dad will be put to rest on Tuesday, Toni's Grandfather on Wednesday. Two at once is pretty hard.

Good morning from Blueberryhill........
It is a sunny 62 degrees. Turning colder with rain.
Not much new here. Running trains and reading CTT mag.
Prayers out to Charlie and Family.
Y'all have a great Monday.
Chuck
Morning all. Sunny and very warm. Up and Down. Up and down. Suppose to get into the 70's today.
Off to the hunting camp. Back tomorrow night. Wifey off all week and getting Thanksgiving going.
Kev, try old fashion trap with peanut butter or heat a piece of bacon enough to make it smell [I usually put a tiny pieces on the end of a fork, use a grill lighter to make it sizzle a little]. The later, I have caught the buggers in less than 5 minutes of putting it down. Next is a bait trap kitty proof with Decon.
Mike, call Dr.
Prayers for upstate NY.
All have a great week.
PS: Everyone remembers Running Bear. Well, he was in rehab and posting there. Has not posted the forums for over two weeks. Anyone heard from him?
Morning,
Rain has changed to snow within the last hour and everything is now white. Sending to points east. Big barn fire up by Doug in Woodstock. 32 horses died, only 5 got out.
No action on any of the traps last night. The bacon sounds like a good idea Frank. Yeah not like RB to not be posting anywhere.
Missing my truck. This loaner Equinox just don't cut it for me.
Good day to stay in by the fire with the cat.
Charlie,
Oh boy it's 57 degrees but strong winds and cold temps are marching right back in before the day is over.
We will make visitation for Charlies dad today but we may not be able to make Toni's grandpa's.
Aloha. Today's rain supposed to turn to snow up our way and in the city. No-one in the office today. MikeC, glad you are recovering well. Chief, what does a pecan look like when it is on the trees? Praying for Charlie's family!
We had a quick trip to Michigan this weekend to marry off the daughter. She and her fiance decided to have a civil ceremony so she can connect to his benefits. We'll still have a church service in the summer (I wasn't able to dodge that bullet )
If you have a Menards in your area, I recommend you check out their toy train accessories (some of which Bob Keller has highlighted). They are awesome. Lights, Miller Engineering signs, etc)
Doug Murphy 'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers...' Henry V.
Charlie, prayers for you and your families during this time of loss to get comfort from the Lord.
Mike C, hope the costipation thing gets resolved soon.
Had a small accident yesterday at Church. We were having coffee and donuts after mass in the parking lot. A temporary 4 legged canopy for shade was caught by a strong gust of wind and blew onto my car parked nearby. Got a scuff mark on the hood and some small paint chips on on side. I'm hoping I can get this buffed out by somebody. Don't want to file a claim with church if I can avoid it. I just got the car painted a few months ago.
#2 son due back from North Carolina tonight. Have to pick him up at the Metrolink station. He went to a turkey shoot yesterday with his cousin. I don't think any turkeys got hurt.
