It can't hurt because I need to add 1 20-Amp circuit and while I'm in there digging around I may as well add another 15-Amp circuit breaker for the future garbage disposer...
Brent- Whenever I install or work on a distribution panel once I find the correct breaker I put a couple of spares in the panel. That makes short work of the breaker failure on Christmas eve.
Doug- Tell the little lady
Going on a formation retreat this weekend, then off to the Smokies Monday to celebrate the 29th wedding anaversary. May talk the bride into going over the hill and visiting the train museum in Bryson. (I think that is where it is at.)
Rainy today, going to chill out from a crazy day and week at work. Taking Friday off, need tires on the truck before leaving on retreat. $185 each!

Been a few days, getting beat up at work....
company softball tourniment is Sat., so I've been practicing, it's only been a year since I last played. Work is piling up and everyone has another emergency....so I get nothing done.
in the 90's again but no rain today, first time in several days its been dry...very humid
Doug to your daughter. Mine turned 15 in May, and I'm STILL looking for a shot gun or at least one of my Italian "cousins" to visit her boyfriend
Stay cool & well!!

PS Hey TMCC...you REALLY don't want an Italian made car! I used to work on Alfas Fiats and Lambos. Trust me, your dealer will see more of the car than your garage will. Sort of like a Jaguar with taste. At least the Italian cars will keep the electrics running (no Prince of Darkness there!).

Evening everyone,
Had a nice day here. I was the only one home for the day. I just finished taking measurements in the garage.........my parents are thinking about buying a new Pontiac Solstice. I have no problems with that at all!!!!!! It'll be a Deep Blue with black leather interior. However, it will not be the GXP.
Oh, I also cleaned the garage out too. I have to make room for it if it comes to the house.

Evenin' boys. Lousy hazy day here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Need some rail. Speaking of...
88 - Sketch #2 is done. Everything fit into place with my trusty track stencil. Of course, that doesn't always translate onto the benchwork, but I managed to get in most of your components and requirements. 2 separate mains, a passenger terminal, and a coal shortline to service your Martinsburg mine. Piece of cake!
Sir James - probably shouldn't make too much coffee. Prices are going up.
Laz57 - try not to wear white clothing to Strasburg. And don't crowd the Thomas table,; other kids want to play too...

When I was reading that thread, I was trying to remember the simple job that turned into several trips to the store. It was the drains under the kitchen sink. same size, same color, but would not mate. seems the threads were different just enough that they would not draw tight.Long story short, back to the store for enough parts to redo the whole thing. easiest way out.

Doug - Happy Birthday to your daughter, that's what Dad's are suppose to do. Have money, then more money. It doesn't end. ENJOY
Quiet day here on the left coast as well. Forum extremely quiet, that is good and bad, no explanation necessary IMO.
Weekend plans here include, visiting local TCA train meet on Saturday morning, do some wiring for a couple of display light on our elevated track, begin benchwork for Section 2, of the primary layout. (4 total). Also trying to work in some display images. Oh yeah have to work 1/2 day Sunday, UGH!!!
Hope everyone has a good day, be watching for pics from Nick.

Hi GIZ,
68 and a bit humid today. Only did a real easy 2miler. Met up with neighbor who started running a few weeks ago and jogged with him and had a nice talk. GOLF against brother later today, if no rain? Speaking of which, I hadn't cut grass in 5 weeks. Yea me.
Had beans, grape tomatoes and a kolhrobi from yarden. Tasty.
Wife and I are going to STRAUSSBURG, tomorrow. Looking forward to it and taking a train ride.
Happy FRIDAY EVE!

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cloudy 62 degrees. Going up to 78, today, with some sunshine, hopefully.
Today, I have a few things to do around the house. I am going to take it easy. I may run trains later. Working on some ideas for bad weather projects. Have a new item coming from a friend next week. I will take some pictures of it. Should look nice on the layout.
Dining car is here from " points west". Time for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Thursday.
Good morning all,
It is rainy in SE Indiana with temps in the 80s today. We lost in a shootout last night. I missed an opportunity to score in the first half and it cost us the game. I am on the road to Fort Wayne today and will be back tomorrow late. There are bran muffins on the dining car to "Points East" this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

Nice day yesterday. Got my friend's grass cut, about 3 hrs. worth this time, as it needed trimmed too.
Grandkids stayed again last night, mom had to work late. Always fun with them. Played ball, watered flowers, and trying to teach them how to weed the garden. Please keep my daughter Sarah, the kids mom, in your prayers as she is having some real struggles lately.
That tip from Laz last week on the Polar Express must of been well received. Got a emal said delivery set for 8/23. Oh well, not like it is going to be a birthday present.
Need to run, going to fuel up the truck, 36 gal. of diesel fuel at $2.89 a gal!!!!
Morning all!
Received 'media cabinet' 6'w x 2' hi w/ 3-glass doors for stereo, and DVD storage, and will hold up our #275 TV. Finally moving stereo out of microwave cabinet, and have adult furniture. One day my wife came home and said...OK lets go...we're going to buy a stereo cabinet and new coffee table. Took most of the day to re-install stereo equipment w/ 6-mo and 2-yo factor added in, and the 'help cleaning'. I am anxious to see just what windex does to carpet; was able to provide intervention for the new coffee table.
We had quite a bit of rain yesterday. Off and on most of the day, with afternoon showers for a few hours. Tour de Kurt & kids rained out. Backyard 'adventure' through 'jungle' (hosta gardens) and picnic in treehouse rained out.
Trip to Chinese grocery today...we're out of everything. Hopefully outdoor adventures today! Sorry about the rambling.
Good Evening To All,
WE were blessed with about 15 mins. of rain this afternoon. Won't help but can't hurt. Only one page for the day means coffee is old by now. Maybe others had trouble logging on and gave up. Unless plans change I'll be at the train store most of Fri. and see the conv. on sat.I'll let you know how things go if anyone is interested. I'll wait till 10 then turn out the lite.
Sir james
It rained here a little. I just got back from looking at wall units for my room. I'm putting cable in my room soon, and I've finally decided to buy a 42'' LCD Flat panel TV. 2 HDMI inputs, 2 Colorstream HD inputs, audio out, PC interface, and a regular input.
Oh, I forgot to add yesterday that I am a big fan of Maserati as well.......especially the MC12.
