Tofu or Tacos instead of grits??????? No brainer. Tofu or Tacos every time. Read about your wreck. A wreck on a G scale train can be a major disaster. Looking forward to your report about the G Scale train show.
Roger, I am not having any problems with the forum. Of course, with the heat in the south today, that hamster running the power plant just might be heading to the great hamster farm in the sky.
Dr. John, did you ever see the flames from the fires or just the smoke? Years ago, Kentucky was on fire. Ash traveled all the way north to Central Ohio. Looking forward to a great prognosises for Mrs. Dr. John.
RTF, you are right about Chicago. Always something to see or do. A great city for a family vacation with the museums and zoo. Of course my favorite haunt is O'Hare field.
Southern Ohio Jim, Are you traveling to Columbus anytime soon?
CSXect, not a problem. Thank you.

Is anyone else having difficulty with this forum today? Doesn't seem right to me today. When I checked the pot today, it shows that we are still on page 317, but when I clicked the thread, I saw that we are up to 319.
Good afternoon,
After lunch I stopped in at Barry's Train Shop for a regular visit. Wow, boxes stacked everywhere. Mike told me that Barry bought out someones inventory in KY. Thay had a clipboard with typed list of the items on sale, about 6 or 7 pages. Multiples of most items. I was like a kid in a candy store and of course the word is out already as the store looked like the Christmas season, crowded. I managed to get out without breaking the bank, but did pick up 4 Lionel 3-bay diecast hoppers with different road numbers for $34 each and 2 K-line diecast composite 2-bay hoppersfpr $10 each, all PRR. Also got 2 packs of BEEPeople & a FREE T-shirt.
Dr. John, Our prayers go with you and the Mrs. on your trip to Birmingham.
Don, I saw the notice about the Ontario Show on the MTH newsletter, but thought you would not be able to go since you had said you had a show this weekend. Hope the wife will let you sneak out a little.
Doug, Hope that you and yours have a nice vacation in the south. Only been to Hilton Head one time and it was just a short visit. Very nice place.
Well I am going to be spending a 3-day weekend "home alone". The wife and DIL are heading to the Delaware Shore with a group of ladies from the DIL's church. I am planning to make good use of my free time and Saturday will head to the PA RR Museum for Pennsylvania Days. The Liberty High-Railers are going to have an O gauge modular layout set up and lots of other special exhibits. Should be fun.
Take care,
Just when the smoke was getting better around here, a house up the street burned down and now it is back to heavy smoke conditions in the area. We have a scale train exhibit that is opening this week at the local museum. I hope to make it this weekend, but am on call and have also been recruited to help a preacher friend load up a moving van to head to Florida. Oh well, it is here till September, so I should be able to make it over there. I also understand that a train show will be in Pensacola next weekend, so we may make that too.
Hope y'all have a good day. If it started with Grits and a prayer, you know it will be good.

But you have many attributes that you can provide to someone, don't be overly concerned. I think the sacrifices are insignifcant compared to the benefits.

Buckeye, actually we are hundreds of miles from the fires. The smoke is covering several states, including Alabama. It is much clearer today, though. Thanks for the good wishes!

Do you know when the grand opening is supposed to be? We passed by it the other day and it looks like its close to being finished...I can't wait to take my boys through it!
Evenin' boys.
Roger B & Trumpie - I experienced the same thing yesterday. I restarted my computer and all was well again.
dbaker48 - I'm sure those cuts look darn good, just the same.
dweimer - Tried RAGU on my grits today.

jefelectric - is the museum pulling anything outside to run special for the weekend?
CHIEF - looks like we may have to introduce some carp, hmmm?

Nope, not yet. But I have found my two good digital cameras sitting on the kitchen table... problem is everytime I hear the whistle I'm no where near them! Gotta get some pics of the MM rolling by from the deck...

I don't have the answer to your question, but here is the web site.

A friend from the TCA Museum, Phil Ritter, is going to have a display of 'Paper'. You will note that the Hi-Railers layout is not mentioned on the Museum site but their web site has it listed and Bill Parkinson has announced it on the OGR forum.

Zeke, we are waiting for the pictures of the mountain to comment.
Zeke - let's see the Holy Mountain, Alejandro! Bring it on!
Fife - Don't get me started on LEGO's! I've got about $1000 worth of Harry Potter Lego sets with the train and all in boxes in the basement. Now I got an email, they are putting out more sets, including a new castle section.... Man, I just don't know whether to get it or let it all go. The problem I have is with other people's kids. My kids and I could play with this stuff and take care, but other kids just see LEGOs and have no respect at all, they start ripping stuff up. AND this stuff gets expensive. Now they also have a lot more train stuff that is making me nuts as well....
Hand getting better and better, just little twinges today. John, thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers. Cool in St. Louis, only up to 80 and storms every day. Laz, we spotted your bear in Hillsboro, a very few miles from me!

June 28 thru July 1 is the Grand Opening.
VP's SIL is going to do that one [you can guess why].
Got company and my Pizza is ready. Nissan is fixed. EGR valve tube [should have been cleaned out when Dwight replaced the valve] was stopped up completely. Ran Atlas and Lionels this afternoon. All ran good. Later

Chief,
I have an EGR problem with my car too. I always get code PO400 EGR Flow Malfunction. Too lazy to change valve, I just erase the code.
For the New England Yanks, RFD-TV has a show called Trains and Locomotives. On Saturday Morning 9am Eastern, they have a show on Steam in N.E. Several different RRs are shown.

Buckeye,
Going to be in Columbus this Friday evening and Saturday and June 16.
Jim
Chief - That is NOT going to work, We don't want no stinking Vice President's SIL, WE WANT YOU!
Your just going to have to tell them!
Don
We had a Cabella's open, but no word from Chief on any trips to St. Louis, Don -- better get in line, man! I used to love RFDTV, especially the Train Show and Bluegrass and Backroads. Our cable doesn't carry it though, but we do get DIY so I can watch Norm and all the Bob Villa I can stand. Sir James, I have some pirate stuff, but it was already oop when I got into the lego stuff. Check out my website button below to see some of the lego stuff we have or go to http://webpages.charter.net/jwf123/Hogwart_s_Express.htm

well have fun everyone and stay safe im off to count sheep
Zeke, Try the fuel pump pick up hose. If the tanks been run dry chances are that it sucked up muck from the bottom of the tank. Look in the pick up inlet on the pump as well. If there is muck chances are thats the proplem.

So Alabama and the rest of the south is turning into a desert. Not to worry says NASA administrator Griffen, just enjoy it.
thanks for comments on wheel cast; gonna pick up a cheap brick of solder from hardware tonight and try casting wheels from that. The RTV can take a lot of heat and already had success dripping solder in the mold, but it cools too quick and makes splatters. I'll try a steel chalaise and heat it with my torch and then quickly pour
HI GIZ,
71 and humid this morn, get into 90s again today.
JELECTRIC, got a letter from BARRY, about sale he said it is all modern day stuff? Was there lots o deals? Don't know if I'll get down there? How nice are the t shirts?
Have a good one 3 more days o school.

Good morning all,
It is hot and sunny again today in SE Indiana with temps in the high 80s. We got a brief shower last night, but it only settled the dust. I practiced socccer with the high school kids last night, and I am tired today. Just the regular fare on the dining car for "Points East". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a humid , but sunny 68 degrees. Going up to a hot 90, again today. We had a few thunderstorms yesterday afternoon, for about an hour. Not much rain soaked in.
Today, I have a few projects around the house to work on. Then I plan on taking it easy, the rest of the day. I have to buy the paint for the steel bridge, yet. Also, some primer. I probably will start painting it next week. Outside.
Well, Dining Car is here and ready for breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Friday.
