Mornin' boys. Downright frigid here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Sent Wifey a dozen roses (real ones, not the plastic lighted versions like usual...) at work yesterday, and she was the cat's meow all day.
Joining some old buddies at the Gardens this morning to send off a retired co-worker. Nicest guy, tough life however.
Fifepup returns tonight, however I expect later than scheduled.
Working the "bridge", as I call it, has been a natural transition for me. I try to keep things as pleasant as possible, and even have been making some "M*A*S*H" like morning announcements that have become a hit. 13 weeks...
Stay mooshie.
Hello all
Happy Single's Awareness Day!
Or, Happy Arizona Statehood Day! 103 years in the Union!
Back at work for another week.
Managed to fix the director's AF 16B trans tonight. Needed a new on/off switch and I put in a new grounded power cord for good measure. Tested it w/ the Marx 666. Just love those Marx.
Finished the last frame repair on the Brill trolley on Wed. before I came up to work. Out of the way of the guys working on the electrical. Next week we'll put the bumper back on.
No work on the cars last week, but did get the newly powder coated bench seat frame for the Corvan to the upholsterer.

Hello there,
Waiting on my Valentine to wake up. Then we'll take mom and head to Monroeville for the Greenberg show. Man did I get a good one! !!!
Not much else going on here. Still working through the paper work and trying to decide how to move forward with mom. Work has calmed a little and we're keeping warm.
Tomorrow the gang will gather to enjoy a turkey dinner and celebrate son's birthday. Mom will be 94 on Monday.
Fife. ...sounds like you're loving the bridge
My Valentine is stirring. Best move on
Prayers for those in need

Cold today. No snow. I sent it all to Chief and NC.
Running trains and taking it easy.
Have a great day,
Chuck
50 degrees where I am today. You would think I would feel warm but no I am chilled. Beats a foot of snow though.
Saying happy Friday the 13th when it really is, not as much fun as saying it when it's not Friday...Happy Valintines Day.

Aloha. This is a good Valentine's Day to stay warm and indoors. Took the valentine out last eve. for a nice meal. As Kev mentioned, it is very brisk outside. Now to chores and hopefully, more work on my new layout feature, Mt. Moulden.

Good evening all,
Quiet day at work Friday. Took wife to Applebee's for dinner Friday night for early Valentine's celebration. Watched "Grimm" that night. Talked to HVAC people this morning and also flooring people as well. Went to see "Jupiter Ascending" this afternoon. Cold here. Roy, the rollers were brand new, and the old ones were completely worn out. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Evening all and Happy Valentines Day.
Getting ready to cook steaks on the grill.
Kids will be here so Mrs is pleased.
Cleaned up the back porch and all the furniture. Hit 75 today so was quite pleasant. However, light rain, dropping temps, and maybe some freezing precip starting tomorrow and Monday. This time of year is weather yo-yo here.
NASCAR tonight! The Mrs is to put it lightly, quite ambivalent. Soooo that is a DVR event...
Mike C - so the new rollers don't work so good or will they losen up?
Off the light up the grill.
Regards, Roy

ChiefEagles Buckeye Riveter Kevin, It is 46 degrees in Richmond, VA. The Chief's comments have fallen on deaf ears at Rogers Corners, Ohio. The colder here, the colder you are up north.
True, but we can handle it........
Well NASCAR starts NOW!!!!
Mornin' boys. Clear and blustery -15 wind chill here in the Mid-Atlantic region, where we are experiencing some of the meanest cold weather in recent memory. The severe winds broke my pvc driveway gate this morning, so now add one more thing I have to "patch up" before fifedom goes on the market...
Fifepup's train was an hour late, and other than the dicey road conditions to and from, he made it home in one piece.
Have a retirement party to attend this afternoon. Not sure Wifey going with me, as she was up late battling the es/et software we installed yesterday, which has brought our computer to a crawl.
Woke up this morning to 3 degree temps, a fresh coat of white stuff & high winds, but the sun is out nice and bright. Decided to skip church and look out the window at the beautiful landscape. Not much change over the next 10 days to look forward to. I'm scheduled to volunteer at the PA RR Museum tomorrow, Presidents Day, but think I will let them know I won't be in. It's supposed to be sub-zero in the morning and not warm up much, I doubt if we will have many visitors. I envy you guys in the warm climes. Jean and I have just been hibernating.
Mornin' FellasAs Fife pointed out, we are still waiting for Global Warming here in MD. Had the fireplace insert roaring all day yesterday and just loaded it again. Helps keep 75% of the house warm, if I had bought the larger unit would probably heat the entire house. The past 2 or 3 winters have been bitterly cold here.Gathered some of the kiddos toys so we can make a trip to Goodwill. Christina and Matthew were helpful in determining what could be donated. Went into the sunroom and the floor was like ice - probably should have installed the radiant heat floor I was planning on. Started working on the grout in the master bath shower. When I did the shower during the remodel they didn't have the premix grout with the sealer premixed in, so I went the mix-it-yourself route. Well have battling 3 rounds of mold I removed the bottom two rows and corresponding columns of grout from the shower yesterday. No mold smell this morning so it looks like I got it all. About to head back up to regrout with the new stuff.Stay warm! It is cold out there!

Good morning all,
Had a nice Valentines day and did the whole thing for the wife. Card, flowers and candy plus ate out last night.
Nothing planned today except church. Gearing up for Ash Wednesday next week.
Port strike is causing big back up of ships to be unloaded anchored off shore here. I imagine that the railroads are suffering too with nothing to haul. They will probably have to invoke the Taft Hartly Law to get them back to work. Ports are too eccential to the whole country to let it go on. When I worked for or the railroad, we were never out more than a few hours before some judge somewhere issued an injunction to send us back to work. The long shoreman or whoever is holding things up must have a stronger organization.
later,

Not much different on The North Bluff than the rest of you out east are seeing. Cold sitting at 7 degrees. The good thing is today we have bright sunshine and no wind. Stay warm and safe. DougDG. Don’t let your AC break down!
Good afternoon,
It is a beautiful sunny Sunday here. It is around 10 degrees outside but it feels great. We went to church last night so we were able to sleep in and be lazy this morning. I am taking care of some house chores today and may run to the store to grab some green paint for the layout table top. I am taking off this week from work so I should be able to make some more progress on the layout. I am enjoying running the trains so the motivation to do more scenery stuff isn't there.
dougdagrump - Unfortunately I was not that far south. I was at Edwards AFB near Palmdale.
8N - I hope your wife is feeling better.
Banks - I'll pray for your sister-in-law.
Mike C. - Those Creator sets are neat. I hope you will post some photos.
Joe
Wow!!! Is it cold at Rogers Corners today. In fact, we had a water line break on the Baltimore, Ohio and Wabash RR. Our utility department arrived to fix the break at noon.
The utilities superintendent told them to get to work and eat lunch later.
We have been running and running trains this weekend on the B.O.&W. RR this weekend. With the bridge completed the line to Garrett is back open.
HOME!!!!!!!
Roy, I hope the rollers will loosen up. It may be they are just new. Joe, I will see what I can do on the posting. Did a 2 hour walk/jog to prep for the mini. I may have done 8 miles. Felt dead afterward and did nothing either. Took a nap and sort of feel human again. Chuck has the snow cannon pointed at us again. Could be an interesting drive tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good day.
Aloha. Cold downtown like almost everywhere else but at least we dodged a lot of snow. I watched Grand Budapest Hotel again last night. A really enjoyable movie with a few nice train scenes. MikeC, during this time of year, I spray the door rollers with silicon lubricant - or WD-40 if I don't have the former. That seems to loosen everything up and kept out the moisture. Love the utility work crew Buckeye!
Whoa!
New England getting it in the shorts again.
Freezing here and may hit 39/40 today Had some light rain last night and now it is moving east.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill...........
It is a cold 1 degree. Snow coming this afternoon.
Today is a busy day. Wife has gone to do a quick grocery shopping. I have a bunch of chores.
Not much else new. Keeping warm and running trains.
Have a great day.
As Chuck stated, it is wonderfully cold here. It has been snowing all day, but it is a dry snow and not too much has accumulated. I am not working so we have been relaxing all day. The wife made a pot of stew which is perfect for a day like today. I hope you all have a terrrific day.
Great photos Buckeye!
Mike C. - Nice job on the walk/jog.
Glad several of you like the utility work photos.
I heard that it is going down to -2 degrees in Roseyville on Thursday night. You know who is going to freeze his you know what off. Us boys from Ohio love sharing our cold air with the Boss Hog of Roseyville.
Fought off Chuck's snow cannon all the way into work and all the way home. Quiet day at work. Did not walk outside at noon. Will be watching Jane the Virgin tonight. I hope everyone has a good day. Doug, appreciate the tip on the rollers.
