Morning. 53 and sunny. Another front to come through. Temps will drop some.
Fifey, glad you got pump going. Banks is like me. Country growing up [he's still there], you learn those things. Also the lake house had a well. Had to replace blader tank one time.
Good job Buckeye. [see I can be nice to the old rascal]
Have a good one.

Hello there,
Richard...WELCOME....tell us about yourself.
Buckeye. ....lookin good!!
Fife....make sure that new switch has the low pressure cutoff feature. It will protect the pump in the event the well gets to low, protect the house in the event of a broken pipe and it can't build pressure .
Best get going.
Prayers for those in need

Mornin' boys. Cold and damp along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Glad to be home today. Long hours wearing me down, and it doesn't help that I wake up before the roosters each day.
Thanks for all of the advice on the water pump. I gave the pump a few taps with a hammer, then I dove into the Square D pressure switch, sanded down the contacts, and got the system working properly. Think I'll buy a new switch next time at Lowes.
Good morning from the Valley.
The economy for central Ohio is going to be good for another year. No doldrums here when OSU beats TTUN.
Working on the benchwork for the new layout.
This is how the arc at the end of the table was determined.

Good evening all,
Busy day. Got all the outside lights working. Did some more shopping. Got the upstairs tree set up as well. Weather is abolutely miserable. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
winding down from Thanksgiving, planning Christmas prep. Took my rifle for a walk yesterday, the only thing I saw was a flagging white tail about 250 yards across the field.If the weather guessers are right I'll probably skip hunting tomorrow.
Had a short conversation with Roy today. He's got a lot going on right now. Not taking time to post.
Went to the show in Johnstown today. The news was frantically predicting an ice storm telling everybody to stay off the roads. As I expected there was ice on the trees on top of the mountain between here and there but the roads were fine except for a couple of miles that were well salted. I spent $5 to get in and $5 for an HO microwave tower and a rough Gilbert caboose to salvage the trucks and couplers.
Now watching the Kilchers and enjoying home made pitza.
Best move on.
Just got back from Zionsville Train Depot, I had my 2332 GG1 set on consignment, along with a slug of super clean postwar O gauge track. Decided to keep the set(I did get it from the original owner). Its a built up set done by the selling shop in the late 40's. Three smaller 2400 series brown tinplate passenger cars instead of the Madison cars, mated to a green 2332 GG1(stripes faded away). Came with a super clean, boxed RW transformer. Getting it cleaned back up and ready for Christmas layout duty. Mike the Aspie

Thanks Mikey. Got a cold. Started raining around 9 AM yesterday. Got to truck from stand at 9:15. Came home as I have a cold.
Fifey, may be too much water in pressure tank. If blader tank, may have a hole in blader. If blader tank, has "tire valve". Add air to that. Pressure switches have gone bad too.
Clean out Town office today. Mainly pictures on the walls. Will be over Tuesday night around 7:15.
Not doing much in Kokomo at the moment, just cold, grey and dreary outside. Gonna go in the layout room in a few min and tinker around, clean up the place a bit. Mike the Aspie
Rain here not much else, snow all around us so that is good with me.
Fife, Something easy, check the small pipe going into the pressure switch to see if it is plugged sometimes it will trap the pressure it was at when it plugged then stay in that mode but the fact it is running and not building pressure sounds like a leak in the well piping to the house leaking the pressure back into the well casing or the ground from the well to house. You should be able to maybe see that water in the yard .

Rain here over night high in the 30s today. Don't have to shovel rain. A good football day for me Buckeyes and Mich. State won their games.

Thanks Mikey C for starting the new Coffee Pot. And congrats on #7.
Rain, 36, and gloomy along the Potomac Highlands. Well, my good luck ran out, as our water pump (or possibly the pressure swith, or possibly both) is on the fritz. Won't shut off. Haven't found any leaks in the line (my biggest fear). Can't get above 40 psi. Not the way I wanted to start December.
Alexis did finish painting the water, before her boyfriend took her back to college. Not sure I like the color yet. May have to run the trains today if my sister and family stop by this afternoon, so I got the bridges back in place.
2 PE trains later today. Saw the 2019 CP Holiday Train on youtube, and all I could do was watch in envy. WB/PE folks don't allow lighted displays on trains, so my efforts from last year rest in one of our shops...
Saw that I was on and the December thread was not started. Maybe not the usual Christmas concept, but what the heck. Saw both granddaughters perform today and Lucas was a big help around the house. I hope everyone has a good day.
