Fifer - C'Boys working hard for a high draft pick also.
Dennis - sorry about your car.

Lazy day somewhat. Cleaned gutters today. Amazing how many bushels of leaves can pack into a 4" x 3" gutter :(
Not sure why they are trying to run NASCAR in Phoenix tonight. They must not be looking at the radar.
Have a great evening all!
Regards, Roy
G'day all !
Sorry to disappoint you guys but with their first round pick the San Diego Chargers select the City of Carson.
Roy, The clouds that were rolling thru here earlier made it look like it was night time, no real rain yet, very light, but that and the wind is supposed to hit late this afternoon. What's blowing thru here don't take to long to get to Phoenix.
Tomorrow we start decorating for Christmas at the museum, want to make sure everything is ready for the first weekend of December. The first weekend is what was originally called "Christmas On The Prado" now it's called "December Nights", whatever the heck that means. I know, we must be P.C. We open late in the afternoon and close late in the evening with all the museums being free and all kinds of Christmas activities taking place in the park.
Later all.
Remember the Veterans. Past, present and future.

Good evening all,
Supposed to be an easy day turned out to be a long one. Leaf mulching took far longer than I thought it would and hanging one set of icicle lights outside took much much longer than it should have. I think from now on I will get a new set each year and pitch the old ones. Save time and stress. Weather was nice, warm and dry today. Going to turn to junk the rest of the year. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Sun and 60s today.
Our club host has postponed the Nov. meet till the 28th so no video till then. But the Dec. meet is scheduled for the 12th so there will be 2 close together.

That is better than none, James. Here, there's 1 I can get to, but it's in the summer, when I have no time to attend. Figures, doesn't it? Best part is, mostly con men and HO

Good morning all,
Waiting for nurse to show up this morning to change bandage on wife's skin cancer. Don't know how to act with all these people showing up the last week to give medical and related care.
Sitting in my recliner yesterday and something broke inside. Looks like a bolt was sheared off. Come on now! I'm not that heavy. It was the type of bolt that screws into wood on the opposite end but has a bolt head on it. Have to figure out how to get the sheared off part out of the wood. I wonder if anybody repairs things like this chair? I will see what I can find on the net. My son has a recliner that he will give me but I have to see how the color will go with our stuff.
later,

Long day, eventually good day at work. Raining when I got home. Did nothing tonight except watch Supergirl and Jane the Virgin. I hope everyone has a good day.

Yeah Buckeye is back to work my SS check is safe. It will keep coming in now there was a chance it was going to get smaller there for a while but they heard he was going back to work and said all would be fine. Chief will be happy also as it was about to affect his also.
Morning all did some running around yesterday had to go north about 20 miles just toget done there to turn around and end up south of here about 20 miles ( and to get there had to go right by the house )and then today I'm heading about 60 miles away to Agusta, GA. Boy am I running around.
Not a lot new on the train front at present. Hope all have a good day talk to you all later

Hi there,
Windy, rain and cold here on the North Bluff.
George the cat, is in.
By evening everything begins to change. Granny is prepping the house for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I stay out of the way unless called upon.
Got some good soaking rain yesterday/last night and sending it east. This
V8 - interesting about young folks moving eng and trannies to Civics. Drift cars I assume?
Buckeye - welcome back to SS support!
Our aging pup is still hanging in there. Just when you think "it's time" she surprises us.
Very good day at work. Would have been a good night at home except I tried to do something like try to make the wife happy. Big mistake! I got the lights on the outside landscaping with little difficulty. Her request was to change out the screen for the window we have in the foundation during the winter. First I could not find the window and then I could not get it to attach to the brackets that hold it in place. Finally got those connected and then it would not close completely due to the new siding. Did get it to close, but wasted a half hour of time and spoiled the rest of the evening. Good thing Flash and Izombie are on tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Mornin' boys. Cloudy and 61 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Took cheapclassics lead and hung the icicle lights yesterday, while it's mild. Worked a little on the North Pole layout, but once I've cooked and ate dinner, no energy. Hanging out with middle princess today.
Morning,
We had rain off and on most of the night with very strong winds but mild temps. Nothing must of fell on the drive because the wife never came back once she left for work.
The temps are to fall today and they have the S word in for Friday night and Saturday.
My issues with the MPC General seem to be corrected. It was a small amount of corrosion caused by sitting 35+ years in the box. Go figure.
Got my SS payment so time to pay some bills. The truck is on empty so I will fixt that first. Gas is at $1.98 in town.
Aloha. Looks like snow is on the way for the weekend. It's been a nice run. That reminds me to get out the snowblower tomorrow... SJ, you are wise to stay out of the way of house-set-up-for-holiday plans. Fife, what do you have planned for the north pole layout?
Doug Murphy 'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers...' Henry V.
Wellll, Wifey has amassed more "stuff", so I need to add another level (with another train of course), which will roughly make it 43" x 6ft, and approx 2 ft high. Gonna add some pushbutton features as well. I will take lots o' pics along the way.
A little sun this morning but wind and rain headed our way from the west. Yep some s### expected here for the weekend. We have an MPC Lionel Large Scale Christmas train(track powered) I use LGB track for under the tree but I miss having the 027s under there.
What 027 did you used to run?
027 varied I would swap them out during the Christmas season. Some postwar or the MPC Lionel Amtrac always looked nice and colorful.
I've never had the chance to run the MPC Amtrak.
Well it's 64 degrees but rain and wind is not too far away...
I must be a little crazy, Bought a yellow DT&I set car for 5 and then added diecast sprung trucks and a molded coal load.
Asked if I could go on SS. They told me they had given me all my money when I lived in NC and TX.
Buckeye Riveter Asked if I could go on SS. They told me they had given me all my money when I lived in NC and TX.
Pretty sure Chief will be willing to share his with you Buckeye.
Still warm and windy. The bucks are moving in the rut today. Almost hit one 6 pointer on the way out of the drive this morning going to get gas, then saw one 5 pointer small guy right out the back door sniffing and walking through the yard at lunch time.. Wife and I were saying Monday how we had not seen any turkeys in a long time and the same day she spotted a flock of over 25 walking through the yard by the shed when she was pulling out of the drive. So she called me so I could see them. Winter is a comming.
Highs supposed to only be in the 20s by Sat, Kev...
Tinplate, I love 027 - that's the only track (and curves) I've ever had.Fife, sounds like quite a layout! BTW, I found some light reading that made me think of you.
I use exclusively 027.
tinplatacis I use exclusively 027.
tinplatacis,
Our layout is O27 profile track on the main table and Kids side loops nothing less than O34” Marx radius curve. Smallest turnout is O42" Lionel. Most track is O42”, O54” and K-Line O72” curves that let me run some of the bigger stuff. I would not do it this way if I were to do it over. I like the low profile of the O27 track and turnouts but would go with Gargraves on track if I were to do something new but not sure what turnouts I would use. On the logging site loop I do have O27 curves and turnouts..
The O34" 1/2 curve keeps me in check when looking at things I can use,,,,,saves me money that way. Right Doug?
Good day, but long day at work. Basically all caught up now. Nice relaxing evening at home for once. Talked to Lucas for a little bit as well. Arrow is on tonight. Rainy, windy and still warm. Supposed to get posterior freezing cold this weekend, but warm up for Thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a good day.
