Good morning all,

Busy day at work.  Wet Monday.  Dry today and quieter at work.  Noticed the Chief is not teaching the kids about that "all American sport" which is a shame considering how popular it is in that state.  I hope everyone has a good day. 

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

It was 52 degrees today. First time in ten days I left the house. Strep Throat was nasty. Haircut tomorrow.

50 and sunny.  That is until the normal rain starts this afternoon.  Then Tuesday and Wednesday.  Better than snow.

Read to elementary school kids this afternoon. 

Go to FIL's and pickup 5 V tin and lumber.  Take to farm soon.

Enjoy the week.

Yeah Bucks, from what I've been seeing at the shows I go to the Williams stuff seems to be disappearing, both the new products and definately the vintage.

Quite a change from ten years ago when I'd go to a Greenberg show and there'd be exhibitors there with "walls" of Williams.  Sad.

I did luck into a Williams Baldwin "Shark" set in B&O markings back in February.  I wasn't looking for something like that but there it was, the price was more than right, and "Sharks" just look so cool!   Wired the motors in series so I don't have that Williams diesel rocket effect, and the unit's perfection itself.

Winter is done!!!! Sad But March just came in like a lamb. Surprise

Attended the Mt. Hope Train and Toy Show yesterday. An overwhelming amount of HO and N.  I saw very little Williams, which was a surprise. The Amish community turned out strong.  With the use of solar power, they were buying HO locomotives. I overheard one Amishman and a vendor discussing LED lighting for his buggy. Huh?

Have a good week.

Morning all 

Ahh the month of March, the begining of Spring for me. ( S.C. ) 28* outside right now but from what I can see it will be in the 60's to very low 70's for the rest of the week for highs and mid 40's to mid 50's for lows.

Good evening all,

Perfectly awful practice today.  Only did 10 miles in a little under 3 hours.  Just could not get going.  Should have gone to Muncie train show instead.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Evening folks!

Early start to the 'pot this month. A beaut of a day today. 70. Sunny. Very windy. Same for tomorrow.

Changed out all 3 shower heads today. Found a Moen we liked. The old ones were getting hard to clean. Had to slice through the fitting on one with a side grinder. Only nicked the threads on the pipe a bit. The fitting was so calcium caked internally it would not loosen, even with some vinegar soak. 

Happy March SJ! 

Ugh - daylight savings time coming soon...

Regards, Roy

Hello all!

"Goodbye to winter?"  I don't know man, I'm from New Jersey.  We didn't stop worrying about winter and snow until the first of May!  

Ask me about getting caught in a snowstorm the second week of Jersey trout season in April!   There's a tale...

Welcome to March, goodbye winter. No matter what happens this month winter is behind us. Still recovering from Strep Throat. I don't think this old body is responding like it use to
