March Coffee Pot 2016. 11 years old. Wonderful grits and sweet ice tea for the southern gents. Coffee and oatmeal for the Yanks.

Afternoon all from mild (50F) Southern Ohio

Raining now but earlier was really nice out.  Blue skys and mild.  Felt good.  The rain seems to be bringing a chill with it.  The birds are hitting the feeder hard so the weather must be going to get bad.

I put several resumes in at a job fair that was set up where I used to work.  A couple of the leads led to on the spot interviews.  We'll see where it goes.  

Chief - good to do what the doctor tells you

Later, may God bless

Good morning all,

Pretty busy lately with Dr. appointments, Pysical Therapy, caregiving meetings etc. etc.  Got one of the latter today.

Ran across some neat pictures on Trainorders.Com of trains where I grew up in Tidewater, Virginia.  Good shots of Southern, SCL, C&O.  Even one of Graham Clator on the rear platform of his private car.  The SCL units were ex ACL judging by the numbers on some E units.  I remember them in Purple and Silver.  Later they went to black and yellow.  Nice to see things that I remember.

Academy Awards were a dud to me.  Didn't know any of the particpants hardly.  Ho hum.

Drought seems to be on again with no rain in sight.

Aloha. Guess we dodged the big snow forecast for overnight but it's supposed to keep on later today. I'll take warm weather now. It was a quiet evening - ran Ivor a bit and dug out some older British railway books to look for inspiration for a new project.

 Wake up guys, 33 with a coat of ice on the deck. That will be the high, going down to 19 tonight. So much for the nice weather.

Mornin' boys.  Sunny & 44 here in the Mid-Atlantic region.  Lots to do, lots to do.  Fixing some "chipped teeth" around Fifedom.  Wifey got news from work yesterday that really has given her the drive to get to the mountains now.  Fifepup half way out the door, and middle princess to follow.

Rollin' rollin' rollin'...

Not much happening these days. Lots of projects piling up due to the temps and moisture this winter. Hope all is well.

Hello all

Another quiet night on the mountain.

JimS - yeah, I've heard that about diesels, but this is what the 'boss' was doing so I just kinda followed his lead. 

Managed to successfully mix and paint the funnels for the Mauretania model I am working on. They were more of an orange color than the red which is typically thought of. Glued on a couple more decks. Really starting to look like a ship now.

Tried to paint the body of an N-scale bay window caboose. Only appropriate color I had was water base and it didn't cover well. So I rinsed it off and will try putting a primer on it first.
