Laz,
Here is what I had in mind: http://www.echosprings1.com/
Of course, since you are over 60, we should get the senior citizens super duper discount.

Don...... I think that's a great idea. I have a lot of pictures of the Grandkids and trains.

Morning All...wet and cold here too. Thinking about moving my transformers back above the table today. Cleaned the basement a bit last night. More today possibly.

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Thanks Marty. Slowly working my way out of flying. Got several more through out the year but not like last year. Work and give it to GWB. No way.
Brent, that server you use to download pictures must be in trouble. Never downloaded all of them.
Big hard rain while at Lowe's buying tree green paint to do mountains. Got soaked. Also costing about $30+ every two weeks to feed [blackoil sunflower, thistle and suet blocks] the birds. They are going on a diet.

That lucky Carter!!! Being raised in a train home does a body good. Congratulations, Chief! What size of CSX T-Shirt will he be wearing as he runs his blue and yellow layout?
Laz, that's right! You don't see that much water on your mountain golf courses.
It is cold and windy today, but no snow.
Chief, why are you feeding the birds at this time of the year?
Had a good train run on the layout. With the cruise, it is so easy to run three trains at one time on the same track. I have an older Lionel with TMCC that I would like to install a cruise system. I wonder if ERR system can plug into the existing TMCC.

Afternoon all!
NASCAR today. The sun is shining and temps going to 65/70?
Lots to do today to get ready for trip to York Tuesday. Got to mow lawn, etc.
Chief - great photos of the grandson!
Tom - looks like the open house was a success!
Hope all of you have a great day today!
Regards, Roy
Still raining here in the Bronx. No wind but lots of puddles. What a GREAT Day to stay inside and "play" with the trains!!
REVISION: Did I say puddles? FLOOD is more like it!....A friend has a basement layout. Called to tell me the water has peaked about two feet below the top of the benchwork. Only good thing as there will be quite a clean-up. Hope you guys made it through OK.
Well, the Indians won again !! I was having it pretty ruff there for a while !! You think it's easy switching back & fourth between the game & the Race & working on the layout & checking the computer the whole time ? !! Well, at least now I can keep it on the race !! Our #20 is still back a bit !!
Well, hope everyone isn't as busy as me today !!
Thanks, John
Chief, great shots of the grandson. Congratulations to you, Pam and the kids. I am sure he will have lots of trains in the future. You won't spoil him now, will You?
Jerry, I envy you with the Denver Museum that you have there. It is by far the best collection of taxidermy I have ever seen. We were out that way in Byers doing our best to dimminish the Prairy Dog population. Rained one morning and spent the whole day at the museum....could have spent two days there.
It sure was a crazy night. Got real windy for the whole night and remains so now. We are under a tornado watch still. Started to rain and got to the point that I had to bring the dogs into the house at about 1:30am. Don't know how much rain we got, but the rain gauge is 5" and it filled over with plenty left to go. We now have a lake out in the yard that did not used to be there. Had a bunch of tree limbs down and one tree knocked over, but otherwise, little damage.
Church was great! Kirk Cameron from "Growing Pains", and the "Left Behind" series was our speaker. Has a great message. A humble man with a great perspective of life. He was a bit intimidated staying here with tornado warnings and all, especially since we are so close to where the last tornados took out a hospital and a bunch of houses. We also had the "Veggie Tales, Larry and Bob" at the church for the kids.
I better get back to the family, power is going out and before long, I won't be able to keep the computer going. Take care and hope everyone has a safe day and great week.

Afternoon. Went to Lowes and got green paint, to Walgreens and developed pictures and ended at Harris Teeter for strawberries and whipped cream. Even with the freeze, we are getting strawberries as they survived. Been raining off and on. Got soaked getting from inside od Lowes to car. Couple of tornado warnings. We were lucky as cells passed just north of us and the other passed just east. More rain coming. OH, the mountin is now green and brown. Got to go do pictures so one New England Yank can be happy. Dougsnotagrump and Don B can relax as NS is not taking over California.

Saw that Roy !! I'll bet Chuck missed it, he said he had to go eat !! I think the # 2 & 3 car got knocked out from it !
Good afternoon all!
Sold all 4 cars we took to auction this weekend. The population explosion of old clunkers was becoming a concern. I like it when there's room in the garage to work without walking sideways between vehicles.

Kieth, There's already a flurry of lawsuits as a result of the accident. The K-Line people on the torpedo train are sueing the MTH folks in the Santa Fe cars, who in turn are counter sueing. This makes perfect fodder for another heated discussion on the OGR forum. The layout insurer ( Snake Farm ) has their hands full processing all the whiplash claims. The medical costs in plastic cement alone will be staggering! Luckily, costs should be kept to a minimum since there were no Arttista people injured. Those "beautiful people" always hire high price lawyers

Good eveing,
Chief, Congratulations, great pictures. Before you buy the little guy a train, you must get him one of these to start him off on the right foot.

Colin, I am glad to hear your Dad is doing better. It sounds like you got yourself a good part time job.
We got 2" of rain since it started last night. Just listened to the local forcast and it sounds like most of the rain is over for us, but we are to get a lot of wind tomorrow. Most of the rain will be East of us. BTW the forcast from Tuesday on looks pretty good for York.
Don, When driving through Maryland from the airport be especially careful and curtious. Some nasty drivers down there.

I've been running some trains with the track cleaning car. Need to get things running in top shape before Don arrives. Usually when someone is here to see the layout everything goes haywire.
The greenhouse is about bursting at the seams. Most years by this time I can set some of the hardier things out to harden up during the day, not this year. Maybe next week.
Doug, Your wife sure picked a bum weekend to go to NYC. She probably had a nice day or so before it started raining so all is not lost unless the planes are not flying tomorrow morning.
Take care,
1688torpedo wrote: Hello all! Chief- Nice Grandson you have there! He sure will enjoy the 1688 I'll be sending your way in a few months. N & S is way overated. Start him out with a Pennsylvania Railroad Train. Laz- I bet your 800lb Bear is looking forward to the Fishing Season also. Sturgeon-Phish- You have a nice Grandson also. Sounds like he has plenty to look forward to when he visits your house. Take Care all.
KEITH,
He's always ready to go, scares the heck out of the other GIZ, though?
If I can get up with you all it will be Friday night I guess from what I'm being told. I'll be in the Lititz area so Iwill need to get directions but if Laz or Jefelectric call me I'm sure they can direct me as they both have my cell number.
Taken break from listing probally until I get back a week from this tuesday I do have a pre war collection going up next sun (scheduled it to do that this am) may put my standard set yet not sure thou.
I'm done for tonight anyway
Have a good evening all

I know it sounds trivial but if you can, pray she gets out tomorrow morning.Dale Jr. sure was running well for a while there. It would be neat to hear Kirk Cameron - a guy who I hear is really walking the walk.
It was great to hear him, for a guy who is not a preacher, he has a great, yet humble presence.
As for praying, consider it done, worry about nothing, pray about everything.
RRTraincollector, checked out your list, nice items you have on auction. I am currently under "train restriction" and I am pushing it on a recent hudson I bought. If timing had been better, I certainly would bid on a few of your items.
Still very windy here tonight. We lost power for a few hours today and go in and out of tornado watches. Took out another tree when I got home from church. I hope to get everything picked up this week, but I am on call.
Hope everyone has a blessed week,

Thoughts and Prayers to all impacted by this storm. I just heard lastnight that this is the same storm that came through Colorado earlier in the week.

Morning to all from a wind blown Gettysburg. Not too cold yet. They are talking the possibility of snow tonight in some areas of PA. Enough with the cold weather already, Kevin, please shut the door.
Started to watch the NASCAR race but as usual... Woke up on the last lap.
Chief or should I say Grand-Chief - great pics of Carter. Congratulations to you and Pam and the rest of your family.
Can hardly wait until Thursday and Friday. My one buddy from college was going to come up from the Eastern Shore of MD to go to York but cannot make it due his Dad having a Dr. appointment. My friend's Dad has macular degeneration and can no longer drive. Maybe in the fall. The Mrs. is probably going with me on Thursday. Maybe she will open her wallet and let out some of the moths to buy a train item or two. On Friday we have the Great Coffee Pot Gathering at 1:00 PM at the CTT Booth for a photo and then lunch, should be a great time.
