Good Saturday Morning!
Drizzly but 50F...perfect for indoor chores.
Wifey brought me home another surprise....finally found an acceptable set of taps for the sink in the 2nd bathroom. Finding fixtures that suited the old sink style from the 1930's was difficult. Got right to it last night and promptly put 2 bathrooms out of commision......well, semi- commision. Would have completed the job if the kit had the 2 flex lines from the shut off valve to the taps.
Was having fun running the new GG1. Great sound sets, smooth operation and excellent details. The Flying Yankee is OK too...but far from what I'm used to from a Premier model.
Great news about my buddy. The cause was cardiac arrest but the prompt attention at revival from paramedics basically pulled him back from what normally would have been fatal. If you're gonna crash, do it in front of a firehouse. Had the incident happened anywhere without quick access to a defibulator he'd have been a goner. Even though the pickup was totalled the only major injury suffered was fat lips from the airbag explosion. He's awake and lucid now, so i'm hoping to go see him this weekend.
Have a safe weekend all. SAFE

Good evening all,
Thanksgiving day was nice. Today was good. Worked on leaves, and then put up outside lights. Got all new ones as none of last year's strings were working. Ones on the ground are LEDs, which I hope last more than a year. Went to see "Justice League" tonight. Wonder Woman was good, but could do without the rest. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

OH, this sorry software is now working. Tried to post about 30 minutes ago. Locked up.
Buckeye retiring and then company asking him to stay. Must be hard up for employees.
Had a great family Thanksgiving. 25 or so people. Wifey did a great job. Sisters came and helped. DIL did too.
Brag and Granddaughters. Each Granddaughter cooked a pie. Oldest [who is 8] did a pumpkin pie. Looked good. She forgot the sugar. Two twins [who are 6] did pies. Kaylee did chocolate pie. Every time Frankie saw her, she had chocolate pudding around her mouth. Mom was teaching them fractions. Got a smart DIL. They all made a Christmas ornament for each Aunt [two they had never met, step-aunts]. Smart kids.
Have a good one.

Morning, Nope,don't do Black Friday either!
Relaxing it off today, my neighbor Brain and I are heading into Plainfield to pick up the 500# of deer corn Mark brought home from up north for me. So there will be some more BS and beer this afternoon.
Have a good one!

Morning all.
Well somehow we over slept for Black Friday LOL. Whew!!. We went to one and that was enough for us. I believe it was like 1994/95 time frame. Wife still resting from yesterday lol. For two people we sure make a lot of food. I guess the cats will be getting turkey for the next few days, as we can't eat it all. we have looked at just getting breast but by the time you buy that we can get a whole turkey as they make them so cheap at Thanksgiving you can get a whole turkey, sometimes less than just the breast, and it does give us some food for the cats. No real plans for today. Waiting for a couple of packages to be delivered. A engine for me ( 259 with tender ) the clock for the house ( christmas present from/for both of us, and a Purse for her for Christmas. Hope all have a good day. Talk to you all later.

Morning Gang!
Bright and sunny today and might hit 70?
Recovering from yesterday. The family had a great time! It was good to get together.
Hey Buckeye, hope you make York in the spring! That would be great!
Good to hear all here had a great day yesterday!
DonB - that's great about Chris' new position!
Regards, Roy
Good Evening! (4th attempted reply - summarized version)
- Great Day here, MIL & FIL shared dinner with us.
- Was going to put up outside decorations today, but WAY to hot to be on the roof! Over 90+, hopefully tomorrow.
- Dennis, you are so right on about Calif, all the taxes and silly laws, much less the cost of living. Absurd ! I think your solution is correct also.
- Kev, your post was really great! Very heartfelt and so appropriate for Thanksgiving. Brought back a LOT of memories for me.
- Fife, Thanks for asking. Kay is really doing well 3.5 years cancer free! She is really doing well!
- New Changes: We are finally becoming empty nesters. Chris took a position as Environmental Issues Manager at a "rare-earth" mine located about 50 miles outside of Las Vegas, 3 weeks ago. A very lucrative position, he is getting an apartment there, and planning on buying a house soon. He just bought a 2018 Subaru WRX, this week.
- Ive been rebuilding my layout, totally new track configuration, and all new wiring. Lots and lots of work!
Hope everyone has a great week-end.

Happy Thanksgiving from cool 32°F clear Southern Ohio,
It was quiet around here as the grandkids went to spend the day with the other grandparents since the kid's cousins were coming in from out of town. My bride and I went to Mass then to Rural King to take advantage of some items on sale. We had a tree blow down the past week so I cut it up and cut the stump lower to the ground, put up a few bird feeders and mulched some more leaves. We had dinner and my sister-in-law's the drove mother-in-law home and we just got home.
Bob, Buckey & Don – good to see you posting again.
Buckeye – It is nice to be wanted isn't it?
So much to be thankful for, God is good! Good night and may God bless

Hello all
Happy Thanksgiving!
Nice day in the Ol' Pueblo. Slept in and then had a plate of Turkey w/ friends. Will be off in a bit for dessert w/ a few more friends.
Bruce - hope your friend will be ok
Mike - it is nice to be back:)
Will catch up on a few things around the barn tomorrow and Saturday. May try and put the other rear bearing unit in the car on Sunday.

Happy Thanksgiving to all sous o da border. I'm finally hungry again after our thanksgiving in early October.
Kev: I've seen 13 in a flock a few years back. As suburbia encroaches the numbers become fewer.
Cool and cloudy but pleasant for late November....back up to 50 again tomorrow.
Yesterday and today has been a whirlwind of activity. Got my new GG1, which worked perfect right out of the box. Also got an MTH Flying Yankee in PS2 with no miles on it. Christmas comes early.
Not so good news is that a dear friend had a terrible road accident due to a "medical incident". Having had previous heart troubles it's suspected that he blacked out while stopped at an intersection, foot fell off the brake, onto the gas and torpedoed a minivan. If any luck was involved, it was that the accident occured right in front of a fire station, so he got almost instantaneous medical attention. He's still in hospital today in a induced coma but suffered no broken bones. The pickup he was driving, pretty much brand new, is a total rightoff. Just waiting on news from his wife whether they have woken him up today. Suspect they'll be pulling his licence over this medical issue.
Hope to run some trains and crank the tunes again tonight.
A safe and Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Thankful for all our blessing.
A great day to all.

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!
I have not been on the forum for some time. I use an Iphone for the majority of my "computing" and as everyone knows this forum has problems.
I was supposed to retire at the end of the year, but the company asked me to stay another three months.
Take care.

Quiet but busy day at work. Good weather for walking today. Saw the grandkids today as they were down for a visit. Ran some trains for the youngest one. Had a very nice evening supper with some of my soccer "sidekick", my cousin's daughter and my soccer "sister"'s daughter. All three graduated the same year from high school, all are in college, all are good friends with each other, and all have stayed in touch with me so it was good to see all of them at the same time. Tomorrow on the road to spend turkey day with my sister. Submmbob, good to see you back here. I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving.
Quick fly by -
Happy Thanksgiving guys!!
Having T-Day at the hospital as my Dad has been in for about 10 days, hoped he'd be home by now, but, no....He's getting better but not fast enough...
No Christmas layout for the FD this year, just no time.
See ya soonest!!

SJ,,,
Cold at 21 and won't get above freezing today. At least there is sun.
Kev pic #2, good thing you were shooting those birds with a camera.
Gobble-gobble boys. Clear and 42 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Spent the last couple days back and forth to the railyard with Alexis (she got carried away with the car decorating...). Wifey and Middle Princess went to be with Oldest Princess during labor. We will meander that way soon.
Work on the 1309 is on hiatus, due to funds at the moment. Lots of talking heads chiming in on the net. Priority is to keep the WMSR moving tourists, employing our 3 dozen workers, and providing a much needed draw to the region. Let them talk...
dbaker - So nice to hear from you, sir. How is the Mrs. coming along?
submmbob -
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends here.
Happy Thanksgiving All !Been awhile since I posted, spending a lot of time taking care of family stuff and working on the layout when time permits.Weather is going to be unseasonably warm here this weekend, possibly in the 90's.Wish the best for all of you, and your families.Don
A busier day than anticipated. Tomorrow should be quiet, but I have a project to work on. Weather was good today for a walk. I hope everyone has a good day.
Bob, good to hear from you!!!
Bruce,,,,,,,,,,, you got to do better than that!
