Aloha. Sunny and colder. Class tonight so it'll be a late trip home on the train. Happy birthday Ray! The Pepsi bottle made me laugh! Banks, everything is better with steam. That looks like a nice ride. The Illinois Railway Museum is just running their North Shore train this time of year.

Hello there,
Had a good time at the show on Sunday. I ran in to one of the dealers I know later. He said attendance was way off. I'm not sure why because they even advertised on TV. One thing I wonder about is the show runs from 9 to 2. Thats good for dealers and people into trains but it ends to early for those who go to church eat lunch and look for something to do. I bought an old Tyco set for less than I've seen the engine (what I really wanted) go for. The boxes are toast but the cars are pretty good.
The viewing went as expected yesterday. Today will be the hard part..........Thans for your support.
Spotted this in Hollidaysburg yesterday.........
It seems the Everett Railroaid bought it to run excursions. They have been running Fall Foilage and Christmas trains for several years. It is a local shortline running on an abandoned PRR/Conral branch that servers Appleton Papers and a couple local feed mills. There was an article in MRR about them a few years ago.
Mrs is awake now. better start the day
Prayers for those in need

The video is on a well known O ga forum. Any one can go there and see it.
It is also on the club webpage that is also open to all. For some reason this forum seems to frown on club posting, even though we sell nothing. Also they do not allow the mention of other forums by name so I have no other way to tell the guys when the video has been posted.

YORK...........I'm not going to make it. I will be back at the doctor's office on the 22nd for stint removal. Maybe I can make it in the spring.

RT, I know, My point is, I just have not seen anything like that SINCE THE 80s. Last time it was in a contract for Cat was in the late 70s. Most places gave it up back then so anyone who get them today should thank the higher one for it. I am on SS and not happy either but don't figure it is coming. As for the pop bottle remark in that other post,,,,,,,,,,,,,,do the math, just another personal attack that "they" let him get away with. BTW, go to another forum to see the video????????????
JMHO.
Leaves are all over the place again. Will have to start the sweep and burn process over again in the morning. Have a good night!
Good evening all,
Nice visit with some of wife's family today. Got some rain this evening. Rested some as well. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
KRMWhat is COLA????

Cost of living adjustment or a big joke the goverment makes you think your getting something but then raise your co pays so you get nothing

Did the leaves this morning and you can't tell tonight.

SPMan - I took the liberty of calling the boys at Station 86, so go ahead and light'em up Ray...
V8 Dennis, I hope your Honda will be OK. It's tough when you've already put a lot into it. My old 87 Buick has reached the point of no return on spending more money but it still runs good.
Tomorrow is my birthday but my oldest son wants to take me out to lunch today since he has the holiday off.
later,
Ray

Like Doug said,,,,,,,,,Nice day. Been sweeping and burning leaves this morning, Smells nice out there.
Aloha. Looks like a nice day. Spent the weekend with my brothers and their families exploring some sights in southern Wisconsin. Highlight for me was seeing a WSR train crawl down some rural tracks led by a GP unit colored for the BN. Tried to go sailing yesterday but it was too blustery for me. Not sure how I would do in the dinghy in a strong steady breeze of 15 knts right into the marina and puffs f up to 25 knts. My condolences to you and your missus, Banks. SJ and Charlie, what a great video, as always!
Dennis I hope it's not more than that also as over heated engines can be trouble.
Morning all up can't sleep well couldn't getting tired now so will be heading soon. Hope all had a good weekend. Had a fair one myself nothing to complain about. Talk to you all later
Weather nice. Got Halloween lights and ghost in the attic set up. Did some other items. Rested. No soccer today. I hope everyone has a good day.
Mike C. from Indinaa
Wake up time to get going breakfast is about to be made. Pancakes and sausage today . Hope all have a good day today. Banks have fun at the train show today. Wish they had some around here. Talk to you all later.
Very long day. Up at 6 AM and home at 8 PM. I am 0 for 4 on soccer games this week as grandson's team lost 3-0 and the Indy 11 lost 2-1. Maybe next weekend will be better. I hope everyone has a good day.
Hello there.
Thanks for the condolences. Viewing Monday and Funeral Mass Tuesday. Today was spend doing stuff that should have been done long ago and Watching Grandaughters soccer game. They lost 4-0 The other team averaged about a head taller. The must be near the upper end of the age group while grandaughters is nearer the bottom.
After Mass in th AM i'm going to the Altoona train show. Probably shoot the breez with several I only see once or twice a year at shows. Then work on a pole light at son's before it's time for him to head to work. That will be followed by taking Granny to a Quarter Century Club meeting of fellow Sylvania Employee's. She retired 1981(i think) with 33 years service. That was broken service a couple times cause she started there during the war. They found out later they were making fuses for torpedos.
Best try to get to sleep
Banks Hello There, TGIF although it is sad day. Mrs sister lost her battle with cancer last evening. The good part is she is now free of pain and learning what heaven is all about. Thanks for all your prayers.
Hello There,

Banks, So sorry for you and yours, Just spent a week with a friend of over 50 years facing the same battle.We did a trip to his land in Texas and I just got home tonight and saw this, I won’t go past that. I only hope he has a better outcome than your SIL.God Bless!
Banks, please accept my condolances for your loss.
Evening all bring you up to date with some of the happening around here. I found just down the road from the house ( about 2 miles) a meat market well the only cattle I see around here look to be the Black Angus type so I'm thinking thats what they sell. So made Spaghetti sauce the other night with fresh ground beef and a little fresh ground sausage from there and boy is it good Plan to have a roast from there tomorrow night.
I'm going threw my stuff and thining it out some as we did move to a place that is smaller and I'm not for putting my trains in a non-heated/ac building that I can even feel moisture in so will have to work on that in the future but for now thining some of the unneeded trains that don't really peak my intrest. ( prewar I have some but not my main intrest) etc anyway just relaxing now for the night we finally got rid of Dish and got local cable in which we didn't know was avaible until we had gotten dish. Cost to get rid of but worth it in long run as dish was going to cost us more for what we are getting now and they didn't carry some of the channels we wanted.
Hope all doing better prayers for all in need
Good morning all !
Banks, Condolences on your loss. May the fond memories quickly replace the sadness and heartache.
Good run at the museum yesterday, no gremlins nor derailments.
Still working on the halloween garage layout. Seems like it takes a little longer every year, guess that is normal when you enter the "geezer" category. Oh well, work a little rest a little. It will get done in plenty of time.
Family coming in wednesday to visit for a few days, can't believe how much the boys have grown in such a short time. The oldest just a little over 16 and is well over 6' tall. But the best part he is already being courted by a major SEC school for his academics, fortunately it is known more for academics than for athletics.
Finally ordered some tickets to see "Phantom of the Opera", we haven't seen a stage play in a very very long time. Hopefully I won't fall asleep after intermission.
Well need to get off my duff and try to get some things done.
Later all.
Remember the Veterans. Past, present and future.
