Evening all!
Been busy building shelves in the garage. Trying to get organized and sort out the junk in the process.
Mike C - it is always nice when they "get it".
Sorry to say it warmed up nicely here today. 50's. May hit 60's & 70's next couple of days. But another Siberian blast coming Sun ?
Stay toasty!
Regards, Roy
Mornin' boys. Zero temps at zero dark-thirty. Grandson coming to Fifedom today will help warm things up.
Looks like CSX caused a big one in WV.
Good morning like Doug we are at -10 with wind chills in the -25 to 30 range.
School is closed so the wife is sleeping and the cat is outside trying his luck taking care of his business without getting stuck to the snow.
Seems they are always closing the schools for something. I never remember them shutting down for cold??
We did have a snow day once in 1967 when it snowed 26" not many others. None of the schools had AC or our houses for that matter back then.
Well got to light a fire and get moving.

Good morning,
I believe today will be colder yet, and the windchill is supposed to keep it well below zero. The kids and I are hanging out inside as the wife is taking care of a few errands. I need to clear off the top of the layout so I can affix the grass mats. I don't have much else planned.

Wifey and I will be visiting Liverpool this weekend. Hope to see Ringo or Paul. Maybe see Laz...
Aloha! Woo-hoo! It's a record for this date in February: - 7 and dropping at the airport though it's - 13 out here - probably similar down Kev's way. Sigh. Both the bride's school district and the youngest's school district closed. I'm working though. I know whose fault this all is...
HAPPPPPY BIRRRRTHDAY BUCKEYE!

Good morning all,
Not much to report but just checking in. Took wife to a new doctor yesterday for her dementia problem. Very nice lady doctor who proscribed some new medication which we hope will do some good.
No news on the train front here. No time for it lately.
Grandson has been getting several offers for college scholarships. Has not decided which one yet. We are very grateful for his opportunity.
Live in son has started dating a new girl yesterday. Sounds a lot more promising than the last one. Hope he meets a good one.
Had long telphone conversation with my sister in North Carolina yesterday. She is still fighting her cancer. She is terminal and she knows it but keeps going. Gave her an update on our sitiuation. Good talk.
Happy birday Buckeye

Just accross the river, FIFE. It is frozen so you can drive now. Enjoy, Liverpool. I'll be at the Allentown show on Saturday.
Hey guys I'm flattered that you remembered. Of course it takes someone with a computer programmed to the correct date to remember. Thanks Murph.
I used to get upset when someone at work did something stupid. Now I am laughing. Is this a sign that I should see a mental health professional?

Buckeye, I know what it is a sign of and it is not that you need a mental health professional.
Hope you had a Happy Birthday.

Laz, have you seen the forecast for Saturday? May not be the best day for that trip!
Take care.
Hello there,
Busy dealing with the cold, work, and Mom.
Thanks for the prayers for Mrs' sister...........not much time left..........
Laz..........where've ya been?????????? Hope the Allentown Show is better than Monroeville was. Now I remember why I quit going. The 3hour 60 mile drive in a snow squal return trip made my day that much better.
Got York passes in the mail today. Sure sign of spring.
Is it really Buckeye's Birthday? Enjoy.
Best move on
Prayers for those in need

Good evening all,
Happy birthday, Buckeye! Still very cold here, but I did walk outside at noon. Not as far as my regular walk, but still good to be outside. Work was ok today. Some progress made on the house planning tonight. Might be getting there. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Mornin' boys. I just heard that it's so called the chickens are lining up at KFC to get warm... Like jefelectric said, calling for 3-5 inches of snohizo tomorrow for PA, which is really putting a damper on our trip. Penn-DOT is notoriously bad for clearing highways. Wifey don't care, but she ain't the one gripping the steering wheel...
I'm so freekin' tired of watching newscasters bundled up outside, compaounding the obvious. If I were Sublime Emporer, I would have all channels piping in live feeds from Fiji.

Aloha. Don't know why schools were off yesterday (for Buckeye's birthday?) but it's even colder today and they're back in session. Go figure. I drove the kids to school that were waiting at the corner for the bus at 21 below zero. Good basement weather. At least there's no snow on the horizon... And this is supposed to last as far as the weather-guessers can see. Yeesh.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill...........
It is sunny and cold. 10 below.
Today is an easy day. A few chores and then relax. Not going out.
Breakfast of Cheerios on the dining car.
Buckeye & LAZ............ TGIF
Y'all have a great Friday.

Thanks JOHN, for the update. May or may not go now gotta wait and see.
Hi GUYZ,
Pretty cold here like all over the east coast. One thing for sure at least we don't have to shovel cold.
BUCKEYE & CHUCK, TGIF!!!!!!!
Stay frosty my friends,
Laz,
Cold isn't much better than snow. ;)
Brent,
You not buying a BMW is almost as unbelievable as me buying a Focus ;) I still miss both Probes :(
Jim
3 out there going to 20 today then 33 tomorrow with snow and 20 for a high with -11 for a low on Sunday. Then two days in the 20s and back in the freezer for the end of next week. Relentless. Like Doug said School is open today.
The LP guy put 180 gallon in the pig tank yesterday. That leaves us with 245 gallons left on the contract. We should make it if this weather ever breaks.
ChiefEagles ............. I just clicked on last post and it went to the posts about Brent's wreck. Had to check dates to be sure he had not crashed again. This and no spell check is why I don't post here much now. Page so small and have to manually makeit bigger.

Whatever software they are using for this forum is horrible and I have even tried to do a spell check go-around with no success. You post a reply and you wonder what you are going to get. We have both have been on the forum for over ten years and I have never seen such poor quality. As to the small print, isn't the average age on this forum over 50? One would think CTT would cater to that age group.
You Nailed it Buckeye. I have not been here that long but everytime they have made a change in the four years I have been here it gets worse.
To many devices to be compatible with I guess.
Nice Box DJ, I have two Mac, one large bench Snap-On and a old Sears, all full. Good to have a place for everything so everything can be in it's place. Till your boys start using your tools. Been there and done that with my boy.
Buckeye I normally come thru but post is rare for me also. ( Don't want to show I'm the idiot I am because I can not get spell check to work with firefox,IE, or Chrome.

Chuck has the snow cannon aimed straight at the Hoosier state. Long day at work. Longer evening. Checked on daughter after her successful surgery. She is doing ok. Got stuck in a parking lot on I-74 due to a wreck on the way home. Ugh. Did watch SNL 40th anniversary show tonight. It was good. Will just hunker down and watch soccer this weekend. I hope everyone has a good day.
Mornin' boys. Awaiting our next dose of misery in the Mid-Atlantic region. Scrubbed our plans for today. Wifey may go with oldest Princess to her wedding dress fitting. Possibly a card game tonight. Daytona 500 tomorrow; should be a good one.
I may be in the minority with this thought, but perhaps, just perhaps, we're being a bit harsh on CTT's web offerings...?

Like I said Fife: To many devices to be compatible with I guess.
WOW 20 and going to 32. That is a change. We are going to miss what MikeC is going to get.
My thoughts on this forum, it's theirs so we gotta go with what they offer. However nothing wrong with letting them know what doesn't seem to work right.

Yeah SJ, "IT's GOOD TO BE THE KING"
I am thinking they know the issues by now. Wonder if there is the same issues on the MR forum?
Heat wave. 33 degrees.
BTW, Guys, I am glad to be here, Even wit the software issues. “And there are plenty of them” . I have been on other forums that are "self moderated" (not good) and there is no real train chat on them and no meat on the hobby. I did not always think that way but I am still able to learn. Glad we can discuss the hobby here without moderated perspective intervention. We all have the same hobby and we can all help each other in it. The things I learn here help me a lot in working on the layout. That is what it is all about to me!
