Buckeye Riveter NICE SHOT CHUCK!!!!!
NICE SHOT CHUCK!!!!!
Glancing shot at Roseyville. He put a hurting on all the rest of the Towns around here. Think we were the only Town in Wake County that did not have power outages. Also, for some reason, we didn't get as much snow as most.
Sleep tight.

Good evening all,
Quiet day at work. Good night at home as I built another LEGO building for the layout. Very relaxing evening. Wife comes home tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Aloha. Three inches overnight and a trace more today but powdery enough just to push away so the sun will melt it on the driveway. Someone got hit by the train in front of us on the way home but our scoot still snuck into our station - then sat there with the poor souls going further for another two hours. Dodged a bullet. Still looks super-cold for the next ten days or so. Daughter will be home tonight to do some wedding stuff. Beyond finding a new closet to hide the wedding dress so the fiance doesn't see it, I hope I have little to do. I think there's a train show nearby on Sat.

Fife, I have had that same thought, but I have to wait till Jordan gets older. Now, he would just walk in there and trash it. He is 18 months old now and that is right at eye level for him.
We had enough snow to shut down the state of Georgia for three days last night. Or Texas,
Got up at 4:00AM and took the tractor up the lane and back to plow the 4" to 5" of the white stuff that fell just to have the wife call off work. It is light fluffy stuff and was drifting so just as well. Don't do much good to clear the lane if they have not cleared the roads. I got the snow blower out later to open up the path to the shed. Cold and getting colder.
Temps at 15 now and will fall all day to -6 tonight.
Will go to Krogers later as long as wife is home today. That will keep us out of there over the weekend.

Mornin' boys. Several more inches of snohizo in the Mid-Atlantic region. When I sit on "the bridge", I try to convince everyone that it's not snow out there, just white sandy beaches and dunes...
Pssssssst! DAng it, burnt my head again....
Morning all. Dodged the bullet again. Real heavy snow [weight wise as wet]. Only about 3 to 4 inches. DOT has plowed street so many times its funny. Now if we could get some sun, would dry out streets.
Later.
Been snowing hard for hours. Everything covered even though just below freezing. A real WET snow. Heavy stuff. Almost rain like. Off to bed after some DVR'd TV shows.
Yeah Roy that's a no brainier lol and for the little they have it down here I think they do pretty good it's the drivers to me but that's cause there not use to driving in it what really use to get me 2 of 3 lanes cleared & salted 2 cars having a race at 15 miles and hour so no one can get by. lol What you going to do. I'm use to it and know how to drive in it with care but still move and not hold up every one else
Any way were just having rain here tonight Joe got buckeye to get the cannon aimed a little north so chief can enjoy it.

Good day at work. Played soccer tonight at high school. Did ok defensively, not so hot offensively. Wife is doing ok with grandkids all things considered. Watched last part of Arrow. Weather was nice today, but turns bad tomorrow and the next few days. Ugh. I hope everyone has a good day.
37 degrees and snowing big flakes so fast the street is turning white. Forecast is 8 to 10 inches or just rain.
Later
Evening all!
Been AWOL a few days due to being a bit under the weather and fighting off Chucks snow cannon! Was able to contain things to a sleet storm Mon and just a bit of snow today (all melted!). It was entertaining watching the vehicle skating Olympics here. Wish the real Winter Olympics were as entertaining.
They had some truck driver on TV saying how they do a better job of clearing roads in Illinois. Well Duhhhhhhhhhh! Of course they are better at clearing roads up north where it snows 273 days a year. Down here we call snow "a day off".
Hope all are well. Still recovering from whatever I caught. Have a great day tomorrow all!
Regards, Roy
Afternoon all. Didn't do much today went to Foodlion they had a couple of items on sale at a very good price so had to snag on it. Won something on a silent bid I guess you could call it at auction house they really didn't have crap up there last night that we cared for other than a antique hall table ( thats what I call it anyway ) and we got it for a song so Donna is happy I could of cared less I bidded on a Marx piece of junk dozier missing tracks and other pieces and unknown name earth scraper which was missing pieces but though on my old toys shelf they would look ok but some one out bid me.
Any way that's it for today. activities.Did take the Norfolk Southern dash 8 apart to figure out why sound was so crappy and seems its the sound board so its going to go back to ERR and see if they can do anything with it seeing its vrs. 1.5 and there now on VRS 4.0 been a while did that the other day think Monday trying to break out of my don't want to do crap mood. been hanging on me way to long I would say close to year. Tomorrow I need to clear a spot out under the train table for the table that was in front of the window so Donna's new table can go there lol. Well guess that's it for now will talk to you all later have a good one.
Yeah Kev funds come in Friday and Monday here for me. so that will be nice
Doug,, Coldest February since 1875. So now tell me something I don’t know weatherman.Agree with Rich, Camry pacing the field??? The Great American Race?? Also agree with Fife “I actually think the cars in the Xfinity series are far better looking than their Cup counterparts. More visually interesting.”Train News:Did some work on the 8701 General and the cars yesterday to get rid of the light seepage through the plastic. Need supplies for the girder bridge project. Needs to wait for funds.Enjoy your day.
Good morning all,
Big news here yesterday was the Metrolink wreck at Oxnard, Ca. North of L.A. Engine and four cars were in the push mode with engine in the rear when it hit a truck and trailer being driven or left on the track by a driver who was found one and one half miles away. Sounds like the guy made a right hand turn at the grade crossing onto the track and kept on going until he got stuck. 28 people injured and 4 severely. I think the engineer got the worst of it in the cab (control) car. I have never liked the idea of an engine in the rear although I know they have been doing it for years in Chicago. Maybe the drivers are smarter back there. The cab cars are not heavy enough to knock a car off the track all the time and so they get stuck underneath and lift the rail car off the track. To me, having engine leading the train is a no brainer.
Beautiful day here following the recent rain/snow. Mountains are covered with snow.
later,
Ray

Aloha. Today will be a day to walk about outside during lunch because it is a balmy 20 degrees with sunshine. Nothing exciting to report besides reading some MR and watching Top Gear and a PBS mystery series, Grantchester, last eve. The latter has some nice British Rail train scenes in it.
Busy day at work. Quiet night at home. Did my regular walk at noon. It was a bit cool out there. Daughter is doing well and wife is surviving helping her. I hope everyone has a good day.
Good Evening,
The Siberian Express continues to have its way with us as well. Got to 2F now back down to -4F with a windchill of.... -20F...and, to top this all off, I just got out of the office right into a bunch of white STUFF which made driving a PITA
What would have been a 15 minute drive turned into a 75 minute drive...
Tonight not going out ...buying survival basics tomorrow and sheltering out of the bitter cccold winds and such...try to keep warm guys!!!

Hang in there Frank. Red face here is a guy wirh high BP and drinking problems.
Warmer here but the wind makes it feel colder. Bottom falls out tomorrow. Now they are talking about 8"+ by the end of the week.
Got some things i could do in the shed but have the heat at 35 degrees out there and don't want to use the LP to bring it up.
CHUCK, enough of this. Going up there and knock on your nogging. Forecasted light snow and high 33. Snowing hard since daylight. Temps dropping and now 21. Red faced weather people are now saying, "Snow storm." Buckeye is winning. Meetings and Annual Chamber Dinner postponed. Wifey cooking beef and veggie soup. Will stay warm. Did all more running around earlier his AM. Bird feeder and suet feeder filled.
This stupid software. Everytime I hit delete to move the main body of post up, it moves farther down one. I can program better than this.
Stay warm.
Aloha. I'm with MikeC. Joe, I hope you aren't running outside when it is as cold and windy as it is today. Although there is some cool gear to stay warm. If anything today is colder than yesterday. Got home late last eve. because of some issues with the train but was happy the car started right up after 12 hours of below-zero. I researched how to build a covered 'wagon' for Ivor's layout. Maybe using tissue and blocks. Set to watch Top Gear tonight with my boys.
Just grateful we have a FREE forum to share our thoughts and friendships with. MC was on Doogie Howser, MD and How I Met Your Mother. Cold in Indiana. Quiet day at work. Quiet night at home. I hope everyone has a good day.
We have had some good rain, hard at times last night and today. Warnings were out for mudslides in the burned areas but so far I haven't heard of any. The hills had begun to turn green a little and now, with this rain should grow some more watershed up there. Neighbor across the street went up to the mountains today and filled the back of his pick up with snow and brought it home. He made a snowman on his porch for fun. That's as close as I want to get to the white stuff.
Watched some of the oscars last night against my better judgement. Hardly knew anyone on the program except an appearance by Julie Andrews and Lady Gaga who sang a tribute to her with songs from "The Sound of Music" I thought she did a great job except at the finish when she stretched out her arms revealing giant tatoos on both of them, sort of spoiled the illusion.
Don't know the MC but I am out of the loop on some of these younger stars. He did some bit appearing in his undershorts and shoes only in front of the crowd. I think he was trying to make fun of a scene in one of the movies but I haven't seen it. If his object was to look like a jack---, then he suceeded.
D. Baker, did Chris work the show again this year?
Mostly sunny and cold here. Started at 6 and got all the way up to 20.
Took my wife into the shop today for another treatment on her back. So far so good. These injections seem to be helping.
All for now.
Hello,
It was wonderfully cold today; it was 5 degrees when I went for my morning run. With the wind chill it was anywhere from -7 to -20 degrees. It's always tough to go back to work after a week off, but at least I didn't have too many tasks waiting on me. Last night, I glued down some grass mats. I need to go check on them.
BOC - Welcome back! It's great to see you again.
I hope you all had a great day.
Joe
We will have to find our hanging badge thingy soon. Gotta get in practice.
Hello there!!
I just posted to see if my new desktop is working, lol!!
Weather be frightfully cccold here...we are sitting at the round goose egg F. but sunny. The R-40 insulation we put in last summer is doing its job which is a good thing.
Now, next project is finding/rebuilding an Oriel window for the backstaircase so it does not sound like a ghost resides there....
I really don't want it to go away either just get frustrated that spell checks doesn't work here anymore so I have to cut and paste my post to another site and then cut and post the corrected post back here.
Didn't really know if that number would work when I called Brent as I've had it for a while about 7 years I think and with a lot getting rid of home phones wasn't sure he still had that number. It was great talking to him and he did help me out a lot on my question,
Not to much happening right now. Hope all having/had a good weekend raining here but about 50 degrees here so it's fair but that's about it. suppose to start get colder the rest of the week thou.
Talk to you all later.
