Good evening all,
Had a nice family gathering with people on wife's side of family today. Weather nice. Watched TCA videos of manufacturer's presentations at York. Magnetic HO track by Lionel does not look very appealing to me. Sometimes you can be too clever. Bachmann had an interesting explanation as to why there is not as much new product as people would like. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Building? Consider upgrades on windows and roofing. It will pay off later.

sir james I Sun and clouds high in the 40s today, should still be in the 60s but it ain't. Saturday football will be Mich. vs Mich. State at noon then the Buckeyes at 7:30. Rumors abound that April 2019 will be the last April York and Lionel won't be there. S.J.

Morning. Chilly good morning here. Warming but fall like.
Have a good one.
More tree limbs down today. Watched F-1 race. Pretty exciting finish. Wife and I did puzzle. Taking off work tomorrow for family gathering. I hope everyone has a good day.
Wife and I took a train excursion in central Pennsylvania today. Much to my surprise, as we were waiting to board, the first snow flurries of the season began to fall. I'm wondering if there'll be frost by Monday morning.
Hello there,
Wow!!!!!where is everybody??????
Back from York about 6 PM. Got the important stuff from camper to house. Ate some homemade Pizza. Just about ready to crash.

Morning. Chilly and breezy. Have a great week ahead.
Quiet day at home. Very windy outside. Did pick up some sticks, did some errands, went to Mass. Grandkids tied one game and won the other. Playoffs next weekend. I hope everyone has a good day.
Banks you had to be different didn't you? Most of us will start with large font and end with tiny because of the form firmware, But you start small and go large

Hello there, Back from Lancaster,
Rode over there today to visit the QVC outlet and a couple of others. Did a drive by of 2 motels recommended by a friend. The Oak Ridge Boys will be there in March. Planning to go but want to avoid bedbugs this time.
Went to Mass and back to the camper in York. Watching Lawrence Welk on PBS and close to crashing.
Yesterday at York I picked up a 259 with a 262 cab. Also got a Gilbert HO lighted caboose that was only available in '55. Didn't need it but the price was to good to pass. Also got a rarer one year only caboose from '60 for the same reason. May list both on the Bay.
Spent some time bsing with Roy. While Roy John F and I were at the CTT booth waiting for the Photo who happened by but Bob Keller. Tryed to get him to wait for the photo but his ride was leaving. He seems to be in good spirits. Still looking for a job but mentioned writing about toy trains for 20 years isn't a strong point on his resume.
Mitch, Laz, John F, Roy and I were the only ones there for a photo. Buckeye was purported to be there but I never saw him. I'll get the photo on tomorrow nite or Sunday. My phone doesn't have enough smoke for Shutterfly.
Hope Johns son's wedding went well.
Chief. ....good luck on the hunt .
Font is all screwed up today
Best move on Prayers for those in need
Morning. Showers around. Great hunting trip.
Morning all.
Well tomorrow we will put a offer in on the house we want. So I guess I need to start packing up all my trains in boxes I can move them in. ( Never, and I mean Never trust anybody to move your trains if it's possible.LOL )
Anyway not much going on here today. Hope all have a good day, talk to you all later
Kev - they aren't saying we 'can't' have it, they are saying it won't pass the blower test. I was looking at the QuadraFire 7100, think fireplace insert on steriods! Once TheVPQ and I talked about it we found the gas fireplace they install by default won't be so bad... we won't have to buy and store wood, won't need the fireplace tools and other items... just declutters the room. I can also, much more safely, hang the TV above the fireplace giving the room a single focal point. The cost savings on the fireplace will also allow us to have the built-in cabinets and shelves installed next to both sides of the fireplace... win-win!Good luck to RT!
Busy day at work. Worked out some issues there. Watched Blue Bloods tonight. Weather ok. Traffic rough getting home. Too many wrecks and construction. I hope everyone has a good day.
Happy Birthday Roy!!!
Brent that is just stupid that they can tell you that you can't have a fireplace but to tell the truth if I could do it over I would not have a fireplace and would of gone with a wood burning stove where the fireplace is with glass doors. The fireplace just sucks up wood and don't give much in return for all the work.
Good luck on the move RT!
Spent best part of 4 hours on the phone and on-line trying to change one dental INS policy for next year.

Morning all,
Hapy Birthday Roy.
Not a lot going on here today. We got our pre- pre-approval to but another house. They want to have it where I can go in as a cash offer basically. Basically I'll be going in already completely approved for the house. The house is 1275 sqft but the garage isn't heated but easily can be done, so that will take the house up to 1700 sqft. I'll probably close the garage off and it will become my train room. The garage was added on to the house, I can see where the windows use to be from the garage side so may take on of those and cut thru into the house and make it a door. (its in one of the bedrooms ( the smallest bedroom. ) so I have access from the house. The garage is 17' x 25' so if I make it 12' x 25' layaout, that will give me room to have a small work shop and walking area on one side of the layout. the garage door and a access door are on the 17' wide area.
Otherwise no real news. This all came about, because with some searching for services for my wife should something prevent me from performing them, and discovered the county I live in doesn't have the funds to suport such services. So we don't have it.
Mornin' FellasNot real bugged about the fireplace... there are other areas where the $$$ can be better spent on the new house. If we really want to burn logs, I can have a wood burning stove put in the basement later on.Going to miss York today. Definitely will need to go in April to get my 'fix'. Lots going on this weekend. Hope it all works out.I get to coach my first soccer game tomorrow... that is sure to end in disaster! LOL! Roy! More to come...
Roy --->
88 - Jump over the Potomac. We let you build whatever your heart desires...
I will be there in spirit with the YORKies. The rest of me will be in Frostburg.
Had awards event for junior high team. Went well. Work mostly quiet today. Weather cool but tolerable. I hope everyone has a good day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Roy
was at York from noon til 430. Spent some time chewing the fat with Roy. He was the only one I found. Hopefully find more at the CTT booth tomorrow at 1.
Walked Silver, Blue and half of Orange halls. Saw lots of Gilbert HO but nothing I don't have or was willing to pay the price. I did get a Lionel 654 Sunoco tank car and a vintage print of a K4 to add to my Christmas /Train cave. Both for less than $20.
This evening Mrs and I had steak, onions and baked taters at the campground.
88......seems to me another example of government sticking their nose where it doesn't belong.
Ready to crash.
Afternoon FellasKev - that is a nice wood shed! Met with the builder last night and the fireplace I wanted can not be installed in the house. They do a blower test to analyze the house's heating and cooling efficiency and since the fireplace is only 77% efficient they won't clear it for install. Disappointing, but it does save us some $$$... but no wood burning. The build looks like a go... still a few items to iron out and then sign the build contract... hopefully on Saturday.
Good morning from a cold North Bluff!
32 and HEAVY frost out there, heading to 60 later. Sun and a wild turkey is eating under the bird feeder. Wife is asleep.
A trip to Menards this morning. Had a attack of GERD last night and could not eat without trowing up,,,WTH? I am hungry. I had that about 15 to 20 years ago and it seems to be coming back. Guess I will need to get back on the Omeprazole every day for awhile. I have noticed I have been having a hard time swallowing for a few months now but last night was the worst attack I have had. Most time it is bread or potatoes that do it.
Safe travels to the York folks!
Brent, The wood shed roof is 20' x 10', between the post is 8' x 16'. With the splitter sitting on 4' of one end and the west end outside the post filled it holds about 3.25 to 3.5 full cords of wood. Keeps the wood very nice.
Fall is back. Heading east to hunt. Back tomorrow night. Rain coming Saturday.
Have a good trip Yorkies.
Later.
Good day at work. Got more done than expected. Weather tolerable for walk. Did little at home tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Waiting on Mrs to get out of work then heading east
Morning. Another busy day. Cloudy and warm.
Sad, trooper shot and killed. Guy was caught a little later.
Safe trips to York. Enjoy.
Evening,Hope EVERYONE has a good trip, finds everything, and has a great time !!!
