Morning compadres!
Overcast and 50. Another front today.
To agree with Banks, this site is not mobile device friendly. Particularly iPad and iPhone. After resetting my password here Sunday the iPad would not allow me to log out. Hitting the logout did nothing. The only way to get the logout to occur was to drill down in Settings and delete the stored password. I do not even attempt the site with my iPhone anymore.
Banks, also glad you are home!
Regards, Roy
Mornin' boys. Zero degrees along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Mineral Co. schools on 3-hour delay. FifeMax not liking the Froze-Hi-Oh out back, as he can't get footing to "lift".
Couldn't get logged onto CTT yesterday, so I spent 3 hours in the train room, and modified my town, taking away the tiered look. Wifey gave it .
Banks - Sure are getting your share of health woes. Get well soon, please. If not, FifeNurse may come and personally take care of you. Remember, middle princess is a RN, so that "qualifies" me to give you a bedpan, or a spongebath, or a cathater... You will be up-and-out-of-there in no time...

Chief - Glad you survived the eclipse without some kind of ritual offering.
Good Morning from clear 15°F Southern Ohio,
Last night came home to a supper pork chops and dressing and green beans that Gabriel had cooked. It was really good. The youngest got home late from a swim meet about 1 ½ hours away. She was tired. She is a freshman and swims in the fast flights already.
Banks - I’m thankful you are feeling better
We have trucks to unload this morning so need to get started.
May God bless you and your family
Jim
Glad Banks is back home!
Another cold one today but the temps will rise today.
Funny to watch the cycle of train life. We have several guys that come into the shop that sell all their stuff and a couple years later buy again...then sell...a cycle for sure.
Safe day everyone!

Hello there,
home in my own bed.
Thanks again for your support. I asked about the injured doc as I was being discharged. He's still in stable condition in ICU. I won't get any more info until my follow up in a couple of weeks.
Cold here 8 degrees when the dogs had last call. Mrs is already on 2hr delay.
RE sign in on phone I discovered a while back the only way to sign in via phone is choose the full site and log in then switch to mobile.
Slept most of the time since getting home and ready to get back to it.... .
Prayers for those in need

Count your blessing there Kevin, I was never lucky enough to have children, so I don't get to have grand kids.

Good evening all,
Continued prayers for Banks. Shoveled a bit as well. Finished sweeping the house and even dusted some of the stuff on the train tables. Went back to 1970 as I fired up the 8030 IC Geep and tried to run it with some other 1970 cars. Operation was hit and miss. May have to tinker with it. The 8040 Nickel Plate steamer ran well. Supposed to warm tomorrow, get rain Wednesday and then more snow. Go figure. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Chili tonight then they go home.
Roy, I have a word file I keep all accounts their usernames and passwords on that I keep on two thumb drives. How do you do it? It is anything but easy but if something would happen to me I want the wife to have the things she needs to access those accounts.

G-g-g-good A-a-a-afternoon All!
I think I'm slowly thawing out. Wow! That wind chill is brutal!
Well, I'm glad I'm not a betting man. Went 0-2 with yesterday's football games. I'm sick of the GOAT and the GLOAT (that's my wife bragging about how great her Patriots are. Ugh...)
Banks - Prayers for you!
Kev- Nice video. Glad the GP20 isn't squealing. Hope it stays like that.
Marty - I can't log in on my phone either, but no problem with my PC. Doesn't make sense.
Roy - I should have watched the eclipse instead of football! Good idea with the login/password refresh. I should do the same.
Have a good one and prayers.
Rob

39 and breezy this morn'
Banks - more prayers for you and the doc
Son and I watched the lunar eclipse last night, wolf (supermoon) and blood moon (turned orange during totality). It was a clear crisp night so viewing was fantastic! In the last couple of years I have gotten to witness a total solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse. I am happy about that!
Spent all day yesterday going through and documenting all the online accounts I have (web site, user name, passwords, and if a CC is embedded). Whew! Had not done this in a couple of years so my last list was covered with my chicken scratch notes. 85 sites. Updated all sites PWs where bank or CC is involved.
Good morning from a clear cold 3°F Southern Ohio,
I went out into the woods this morning around 0500 to fill the deer feeder, and with the full moon and the snow it was beautiful. I had the urge to take a hike further but I must go to work so I turned around.
Kids off from school MLK bday. Still enough snow on to sled. The surface is icy so the hill would be fast. All the critters are OK in the cold. The waddles on the chickens get frosted easily when it is this cold.
Banks - I hope and pray your recovery goes well.
Cold morning,
Prayers for Banks and that doctor!
This about tells the story. -1
Morning Fellas.
Well tried to log in all weekend from my iDevices without luck. Something buggy in this forum's software or something.
Survived the blizzard of 2019. Rained all day and we had a decent turnout at the shop. Got to see the new catalog. Some good offerings. I was surprised by a few repeats so soon.
Hang in there Banks!
Take care everyone and stay safe. and warm.
Thanks for your prayers guys. I've done my best to follow doctors orders. He said this happens sometimes.
The ER here was abuzz yesterday as one of the doctors from here was brought in severely injured by a falling tree he had cut He was taken from here to the Trauma Center in Altoona where he was in stable condition earlier today. Let's pray for him.
Banks prayers for you man. Hope it's better this time.
Banks - hope all goes well for you. Currently, we are in Sedalia, Mo.
Banks...thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery and what ever you do follow the doctors instructions.

Good evening from a cold 9°F and clear Southern Ohio,
We have the heat lamp and the water heater going for the chickens. It has been a busy weekend. We made a 3 pound batch of venison jerky. Really tasty. I got the foam to put on the train table. Maybe I’ll be able to work on it some this week. The decision on the chipper has been postponed at least for a while but burning brush piles both Friday and Saturday. It rained all day Saturday so the fire felt good. We woke up to a 3” snowfall so that meant cleaning the drive. 2 ½ hours of scraping. Need to get to bed, 0445 comes was too soon.
Rained a lot Saturday and we got some snow overnight. Did grocery shopping and went to Mass Saturday afternoon. Cousin was having a grandchild baptized after Mass so I stayed for that as well. Shoveled snow twice today. Not terribly bad. Went for first Mini practice run. Did 5.3 miles in 1 hour 31 minutes for a 17 minute 10 second per mile average which is barely fast enough. Going to have to find another place to do the practice as starting at 5 PM Sunday will not cut it. I hope everyone has a good day.
from room 303 at UPMC Bedford. I started having some issues last week and by noon yesterday couldn't go at all. Doc met me at the ER and had a hard time getting. things moving so this morning he took me to the OR for a good look and wash out of my bladder. Got lots of stuff out and said I'm healing nicely. Getting out tomorrow as long as things go well. Since we're 40 minutes from home and the nasty stuff hit just as we arrived at the ER the Doc had them put me in a room with a recliner for Mrs.
The roads are good now so she went home this PM since she had no medication with her.
Kev.....good video
8N........if you don't mind where are you located now
Per son we ended up with 9" of snohio with 1/4" of ice on top. It was 32 at home this AM, 10 now with a stiff breeze . He got our young racing friend to help finish getting the big tractor ready to plow snow after I bailed on him yesterday
Started this post this morning but been dozing a good bit. Think I slept maybe an hour last night.
LaterPrayers for those in need.
The new catalog has some engines called Lionchief 2, they can be operated on TMCC.

Nothing better to do when it is cold. Run trains!!! Only took a minute for the five year old to get the hang of it. He has a much harder time with the transformer control.
Sorry about the guy doing the video. He has to learn to stand still,,,
The good news is it has run perfect all day???? Seems it has fixed it's self??
Wow! We've actually seen the sun for short periods for three days in a row now!
Rob - you may be right. The item I ordered from NS trains showed up yesterday. Didn't think to check the ship date on the package against the e-mail I got from them, though. No importante now.
One of Kev's threads has sparked a side conversation about the future of LionChief and Legacy. Interesting discussion. I remember that one of the sales points for Legacy was that it would not make TMCC equipment obsolete. I wonder if the same claim will be made for future developments of LionChief?
The current LionChief is not compatable with TMCC or Legacy. I wonder if that might be a feature added to LionChief in the future?
The cold hard truth is that the electronic components used in the Legacy system will go obsolete, just like the components for TMCC did.
All for now.
Roy with that much snow the entire state of NC would close.
We got about 4 inches of blowing snow yesterday and today we started at 2 degrees that has now soarded to 9, We do have full sun though. Cold again tomorrow.
S.J.
Chief, Funny you said that, Wife and I were talking about it this morning. The 8 YO Lexi told her mom she did not want to come over, then she heard I was making beef stew she changed her mind. Wife got upset that she wanted to pass. I told her just be happy. Grandparents only get a small window before the kids grow and have other things they would rather do. Enjoy them when you can. On my son's side we hardly ever see them and now they are 18, 13, & 8. The good times are already past on that side. Their small for such a short time.
Kev, wish it was that easy with mine. Three girls into something all the time. Col, not so bad.
BURRRRRR.
Woke up to 3 degrees here Chief!. Lane was plugged in all the normal places. Cleared it out and should be good now because the wind has died. Got a call from Katie and I got to pick up the kids so they can spend tonight and tomorrow. No school tomorrow for MLK day. Not much else. Will be running trains and watching movies in the basement with the kids.
Mild and cloudy. Turning fair and COLD. Yanks, you can keep your cold air.
Have a great week ahead.
