Some of you may think we are crazy out here. Well this just goes to prove it! This idiot decided to move a house donated for the homeless. Gets a route approved, then makes a detour. House won't fit under a bridge, so bridge takes a foot off the roof, and causes the axles to break. House ends up stuck on the freeway for a week. (Caltrans removed it today, owner gets a $20k, bill). This is a HOUSE, not a mobile home. Close up pictures showed the actual foundation. This view doesn't show it but there is an actual For Rent, sign that's been posted on it.

Personnally I love to cook. At this point I can't wait to get home so I can throw some steaks on the grill or chicken... anything...Spent the morning traversing New England checking out the trainstores while Susan strolled the conference. Went to North East Trains where I found my C&O PS-4 Flatcar with trailers. Then Susan called and said she was done, asked where I was. Told her I was on my way to CharlesRo and she said, 'Stop by and pick me up. I'm done for the day.' So Susan and I stopped by CharlesRo and I picked up a Lionel C&O Autocarrier, and a K-Line Chessie Die-cast hopper. Not too bad a haul! CharlesRo only operates their layout on Friday and Saturday, but we did get to see it 'not in action'.Fife and Collin - LOL!!! Fife you should know by now that trying to get them to fall for a fake won't work. They can smell a fake rebel from a mile away! Your only hope is that they out grow this... but you know daughters marry a guy that reminds them of their father! So I guess you are in trouble!Well I have to get myself ready for dinner... oh fun!

WHy would I want to be a rebel? I love my yankee life!!!
Those cars sound nice, btw.
Fife the license should be here in late March, early April of next year. I could have had it last February. I feel a little weird about that. Does the oldest drive?
Evening all, Had some excitement over here yesterday with a few mini tornado's. One passed over our back garden. We have one of those big round trampoline's, which I watched being picked up. Luckly due to wind direction it got lodged against the garden fence and not dropped onto my DeLorean! Which is parked on the grass nearby awaiting the garage to be ready. The trampoline takes two people to lift so its pretty heavy. Very sure that I don't want to be around a full size tornado when they pick up tractors etc! No damage apart from the odd tree branch down which makes it possible to see the path it took through the village.
Working on our layout plan, on one loop I want to have ether a Lionel 213 lift bridge or the Lionel swing bridge. Any views on which is the best?
Have a good one
Nick

Fife.........If I had a license I could help you out.....but not on the piercings. I hate them. And yes, I would let you do the airbrush.
Afternoon everyone,
Well, it was actually a fast day here. School wasn't bad at all. I have off tomorrow so I don't have to worry about sleep tonight. I guess I'll watch NCIS, The Unit, and Chris Angel. Of course I will be playing XBOX360 and just relaxing.
Have a good afternoon everyone.

They were looking for "set boxes", of the very few I have those are one of the keepers. Still a good suggesstion though.

GOOD MORNING
I don't think any of my neighbors would care if I used their wireless for 10/15 mins. And I live in the north where some folk are not as friendly as the Rebs. Keeping them from their service a long time would be different. It is my understanding that it's an illegal practice though.
Nice warm morning going to the 80s, a new record yesterday of 86 old was 84. storms possible later.
Brutus I seem to have returned to my same old ugly self so I guess no harm done. Going to have a cupcake and coffee. Everyone have a safe day and I'll be back. Sir James

YOU WHO, DOOUG, WHERE ARE YOU ?????
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 80s. We may get some rain and cooler temps in the next few days, but I will not hold my breath. I went to see the boys play at Morristown last night. There were only two positive aspects to the game. One is that I got in free and two is that the team won 2-0. Other than that, it was a dismal night. The home team only had 13 players and most of them looked like me (gravitationally challenged). Our passes were not sharp and we did not score until deep in the second half. It was kind of embarrassing. "My" soccer girls are on the road tonight as well, but I think weather may have an impact on the game. I did go to the YMCA and did weights and track work. Although I really love cupcakes, I had bran muffins for breakfast on the "dining car" this morning from "Points East". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a sunny 63 degrees. Going up to 90 today, with sunshine.
Today, I am hoping the repairman will call, and come out to fix the A/C. It has been a little warm in the house, but it has cooled down at night . Sleeping good.
Not much on the agenda today. Mowed the greass yesterday. Did not grow much. Have to run an errand later. No time for trains, depending on A/C repair.
Dining Car is here and well stocked. Time for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Tuesday.
Chuck

Glad you are not on my flight this morning!!!!
Up earlier than planned. About thirty minutes ago, I thought a tornado was hitting the hotel. Then realized it was a cargo jet taking off from Alliance [cargo port right near here]. Then several more [not quite as loud] took off. Didn't hear them yesterday morning. That first one must have been massive and turned right over the hotel. Now not sleepy. Will drink coffee and think of ways to worry the Yankees on the forum. Drive to airort earlier than planned. Takes a little over 30 minutes as I go the "back" way. Bet it is going to be crowded as I was planning to leave hotel at 7 AM. Will leave earlier and sit and read CTT at airport.
Later

Morning all
Switching around to dayshift for a few days. A lot busier, more admin stuff.
Chuck-Gave me a thought, have a bake sale to raise money for trains. Now to bake the goodies.
Fife-Good luck with daughter's choice in boyfriends. SIL is looser, was looser and has no desire of changing. Daughter really considering booting him out. Should of done it long time ago.
Don-I'm not a cook either. The year I was in Oak Ridge, I had leftovers from the meals bride would make when I was home, or go out for fast food. And I'm too cheap to eat out often.
Got to go
May God bless
Jim
Check out more clearance and fit relationships on layout. Everything is looking good.. Using biggest cars and multiple engines in both directions. Have found a couple of "tight" areas but hey were easily adjusted.
Dinner wasn't too much, did macaroni and cheese and pork & beans. Obviously, cooking is not my forte. Tommorow night Pot Pies.
Goodnight all,fresh pot of coffee on, (added some vanilla to the coffee grounds)

About the tatoos?
Good evening,
Once again, thank god for wireless internet. I'm sitting in the recliner watching CSI: Miami. My knee is hurting again so I am going to have to take tylenol or motrin.
BTW, I was on a wireless unprotected network before I got mine. My neighbor put it in so we could use it too. I'm sure that Jim F's neighbor wouldn't care if he got 4 emails and a post here.
Evenin' All.
Beefcake, a.k.a. Brutus, you been surfin' on somebody's wireless. Drastic times call for drastic measures.
The next halloween car, currently in process, will be the "Boney Island Express" gondola with passengers.
Mmmmmm, cupcakes
how about some Devil Dawgs.
Today has been an extremely tuff day, I am doing something that some would consider "Sacriligious". There is just to much JUNK in the garage so a whole bunch of rolling stock boxes are going into the recycle bin. I am going to keep loco, caboose, operating and die cast hopper boxes but everything else goes. Talk about stress. BooHooHoo
Jim, You ever thought about doing like we do and setting up in the garage for the one night and handing out the treats there. You'll be surprised at the number of people, kids & parents, who will linger a bit or even come back to watch the trains.
Well, Sir J, I've found that the hair spell doesn't last very long. Hair today, gone tomorrow!
Chuck, I guess I should say thanks for all those cupcakes! But, could you add a few doggie treats, Chewy really shouldn't eat all that icing!
Dougdagrump - great Pumpkin car! Need to get started on mine, but I'm not allowed to "take over the family room" this year, which rather limits me. Was at the mall on Saturday and they had some Dept 56 stuff out I never saw before, including a Pumpkin water tower that was really cool!
John S - You are the best, thanks for all your help! Extra cupcake icing for you tonight! (I stole Chewy's secret stash - don't tell anyone, including her!)
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
