Evenin' boys. Damp and 44 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Went to the range one last time. 100, and 100.
"Sorry fife" is right. I'll be trying not to think of YORK this time around. Too much other stuff biding for my time and funds at the moment. You all have a good time without me. I'll be allright.
Morning all!
LAZ - most excellent!
I exchanged texts with John (JEFElectric) and he will also be at RoC Friday morning.
Cloudy here and might storm a bit late afternoon. 80's!
Have a great day all!
Regards, Roy
Good morning foggy and mild had some rain overnight with more on the way.
Speaking of Rain: I heard on the news that even after all of this time California has been in this bad drought and have been asked to limit water use, they have only voluntarily reduced usage by 3%. That is not going to cut it. Hope they get more rain before something we all understand to well forces them to reduce usage. A water use tax..Nice video Doug, thanks for the link. You could not get away leaving that stuff behind here.Got the answers I needed for the two Marx projects I am working on for my uncle with help from others on the main CTT board. Now to get the parts and do the work.
Have a good day.

Aloha. Grey and misty but warming up. Baseball is my game too, Chief, though I don't have much hope for the White Sox. Another church meeting last night, but a good time to catch up with my fellow production volunteers. Safe journeys to all the Yorkies! Did you see this video on the Lionel website - about the train wreck scene in the Fugitive movie? I wonder if this is near Rolesville? http://tracks.lionel.com/a-hollywood-train-wreck-left-behind/

Good evening all,
A draining day at work, but got taxes done tonight for both feds and state. Fed refund, but owe the state. Relaxed watching Izombie tonight. Has a very "Veronica Mars" feel to it. Probably won't last long, but will enjoy it while it is on. Got some other good news as Simona will be running the Indy car race in New Orleans this weekend. It would be nice if she could run the entire season. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Evening
Decided this spring we are putting in a new deck back here...the other one is about pooched...curled boards, chipping paint, and a rotted out post in one corner...eeep.
Was kinda dull dull dull dull out here today...gonna get a whack of rain and....freezing rain...tomorrow. But it is going to be windy out here...apparently up to 50mph...from the east. Yuck...high? 37F...mmmmm
You Nailled it RT now to figure out what year that Loco is.
Had a good time with my uncle. He is very happy with the Rock Island set and left me some more to do. Works for me.

Best move on. Gotta make room for the new bed
Prayers for those in need

Good morning all,
Saw an interesting obituary in the L.A. Times this morning for Jenny Wallenda who was part of the famous Wallenda High Wire Troupe. My best friend who died about three years ago worked with Jenny in 1957,58 and 59 as part of the seven person pyramid. She was 87. She rode a chair on top of the pyramid. They had a bad fall in Detroit in 1962 but Jenny was not working that night and her cousin took her place but survived the fall. However, Jenny's husband was killed along with one other member of the group. Her grandson is Nick Wallenda who is the guy who has been doing walks over the Grand Canyon and Niagra falls on TV a few months ago
I went to a different care giver meeting last night near where I live. Met a lot of nice people. Hard for me to make this meeting because of my schedule. I usually go to another one twice a month but further from home.
Got a glimmer of hope a while back about an engine that MTH is repairing for me. They said they now have the part and would complete it soon but that has been a while. They have a long waiting period for repairs.
Sister in Virginia has taken a turn for the worse. She is in a bad way with her cancer. We are preparing ourselves for whatever comes.
later,
Ray

Morning all. Showers earlier. Got in my 2 miler. Sun in and out. Showers for days they say, ????? Really warm.
Taxes and CPA at 1.
Notice Buckeye is quite when it is BASKETBALL.
Doug M., my season. Baseball!!!!!!
Have a good one.
Thanks RT, I will let you know if that is what they are latter today.
Doug, I don't know about you BUT I will sure be glad when this election is over with today. Sick of the adds on the tube. Whoever wins, the state will loose.
Morning all

Cloudy, 41. Looks like rain today.
Da da dat's all folks
Aloha. Rainy and feels freezing. I definitely wore the wrong jacket today. Although I am wearing White Sox gear because we're allowed to do so today to celebrate the beginning of baseball. Boy, did they get shellacked yesterday! I have another meeting at church tonight that I may skip because I had one last night too... Spent more train money on more wedding stuff yesterday too.
Good Morning,
We got the rain last night guys and will for the next two days. 43 cloudy and going to 60 today. Warmer and rain till Friday. Sending all to points east.
My uncle Johnny is coming over at noon. We are going to Seneca for lunch then I will work on his prewar Marx steamer while he runs his new to him Rock Island Marx AB set around the layout. I will try to get a video and some pictures of the steamer to see if anyone can figure out for sure what it is. I have never seen couplers like it has???
Update:
Here is the Marx #99 in action.
A very quiet day work. Watched Jane the Virgin tonight. Good show. Worked on taxes. I hope everyone has a good day.
Evenin' fellas...I think it has been a couple weeks since I've checked in... still breathing. Like Don said, although I've not posted much I have been thinking of you all. Hey - was that Mitch with a drive-by? Good to see he is still around. York is right around the corner. Can't wait. After a year off, it will be good to see the guys again. Hope to drop the kiddos off at daycare when it opens and hopefully make to Round-the-Clock before you all head to the show.Christina has been asking to go on another train ride, so that is on the books for next Saturday when TheQ is at a morning function, then in the evening we'll drop the kiddos off at daycare for Parent's Night Out, it is a nice thing daycare does for the parents so they can get out without the kids (and miss them like crazy) and not spend more on baby sitters than they do going out.

My uncle is coming over tomorrow to get his Rock Island Marx AB set. I think he will be very happy. Doug, nice to know they are holding value.
I will be working on some other Marx he has so it should be a fun day for us.
Good Evening........
Well, today is the start of baseball season. Game on in 30 minutes. It has been a long winter waiting.
Have a nice evening......
Chuck
Wife started feeling faint in church yesterday so we went outside for a while. It was her old claustrophobia thing again. She can't handle big crowds. Normal church is OK but the place is always full at Christmas and Easter. Dinner went well and we all had a good meal followed by apple pie a la mode.
Rain is actually forcast in the next day or two. Hope we get some. I have cut back on my watering voluntarily before we get hit with mandatory rationing.
Have a good week,
55 yesterday and 81 today. Misting. Maybe some rain on and off this week. 80's rest of the week.
Aloha. Grey but warmish downtown today. Looks like some much-needed rain is on the way. We enjoyed a nice Easter meal on a beautiful spring day. I filled 52 plastic eggs with little treats that the little nieces and nephews found. I helped my FiL by moving his outdoor furniture and lawnmower up from the basement and putting away his snowblower. I hope to aerate and overseed the lawn today when I get home from work. It's a mess. I'm envious of your green thumbs.
Roy, I think all Cubs fans are required to wear hard hats and work between innings. It's weird how under construction everything is in Wrigley - it'll take them until 2018 to finish up (looks like the ball club itself needs a bit more work). I am glad your Maggie has bounced back!Bob, have you ever looked at the Graham Farnish N scale line? There are some nice English trolley-ish trams.Dennis - happy belated Birthday. Hope you felt celebrated last week.Kev, that RI tandem looks great. I visited Chicagoland Hobbies last week and they had one in good shape for $200. You did well.Don, so glad you are moving around. Jon, it is 8 am and now I want some BBQ...
Beautiful morning. Meetings today. No Town Board tonight as no need to meet to just to meet. One item that can be delayed.
Have a great week ahead.
