No, I live in the Savannah area, I actually live in a pretty good sized suburb around 10 -15 miles south of Savannah. I say I live on the coast, but I really dont, the reason I say that is that about 3-4 miles from my house you hit marsh, and 10mi after that its the open ocean. yes, It is good to have another southerner on the coffee pot, everbody I see on these forums is in The heart of yankee land.

Just got done cutting the grass not that big of area so I just do it with a push mower. It normally thou puts me into a full sweat. Do ours tonight and neighbors tommorow night. Both lots are about 50' X 85' so like I said not to bad. mine has a 14' X 66' home and neighbors about 12' X 48' home.
Hope to get some train work done this weekend need to get some paint and a few more of those wooden brackets I'm using figure like 4 more of those and a few more of the metal ones in the middle I use.
Not sure but thinking of putting my 3 rail HO (Marklin) on the shelf layout also put it out side of my O Gauge layout.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

Hey Brent, I have two box cars on the way. Would have been here today, but UPS has rescheduled for tomorrow.
Sad day, one of the guys I was on the FD with passed away today. He had been the union rep for many years and I believe he was the NJ rep to the IAFF. Good guy, if he liked you, you know it, if he didn't, well, you know that too.
On a brighter note, one of the scrub techs at the hospital brought in photos of her dad's layout in NJ.....all I can say is WOW! shelves all around the basement loaded with PW classics and a large basement layout with the sides of the layout down to the floor shelves of PW accessories. Had two Z4000 running the show. He lives near where I will be on vacation, so may have to see about a visit. I highly recommended that she get her son a train set and begin the process. Supposedly, he gets all the trains, so he should learn to use them now.
Anyway, I hope that all have peace this night.

Hello to Grayson and welcome to a really great forum and an even better thread! Cheese grits are good and Sweet Ice tea is good with Splenda - Chief clued me onto that one. Nothing going on here - need to work on track plans. I want to start building my new table this weekend (Father's Day!). Brent, sent you an email, sir. I won a contoller for my operating O gauge track that came without one in a box of track from ebay. Lost out on some 022 switches, but will keep looking for good prices. No rain in Arnold, again. I took a pic of the STL Metrolink today, but have to figure out how to download to computer. I'm pretty sure my phone power jack is actually a USB port (small version). Need to find the manuals. My wife is out buying a shower present for my youngest sister, who is finally getting hitched this August. Cheapest thing was a pillow for $20??? Next cheapest was a pillow CASE for $25? We went for some stemware for this shower - 3 more to go, plus wedding present, plus rental on tuxes, plus bridesmaid dresses. This is cutting into my trains, tools and dvd money!
Zeke - how is your train club going? I still need to contact my local TCA folks and see what's going on around here. Maybe you could contact your local division of TCA and see what they have to offer?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Evening all
Welcome to the forum Grayson.
Chief, maybe it is due to my Kentucky West Virginia roots, but I do like sweet tea and grits.
I see an avantage already to being on straight dayshift. An eight hour day! Shift is twelve hours and I live 45 minutes from work so the days you work, that is about all you have time for. Eight hours seems to fly by! Hauled off some grapevines and cut some grass and still had time for a few chapters of study.
Zeke- so many years on rotating shift does mess with your sleep habits. Generally not too many interuptions at 4 a.m., just need to watch the noise.
Got some control buttons off ebay. Now that I have these I'm trying to figure where I want to add the 583A crane, the 770 loader and the 752A Coaler to the layout. Runnin out of room
Got to go. Still working on memorizing definations
Godd night and may God bless

It still amazes me how geography can make peoples appetites change! Thanks for the welcomes, and I hope I'll stay in these forums, yall seem like your pretty nice people.
Long live sweet tea and grits!!!!!!!!
And to all the yankees, I guess the only grits you've ever tasted was some walmart brand instant with no butter, cheese or anything. As long as they're good quality, with plenty of butter and cheese, they're better than anything. And I'm a firm believer in not putting splenda in sweet tea, sugar is the only way to go.

In the North the backword pepole(Amish) eat a form of grits called mush
Ohio is an Odd place as most of the people are from the Appalahcian area or are decendants of that area the rest of us are BUCKEYES. In the store the other day I saw a hugh bucket of chitderlings
Zeke you have never seen starwars????? I hope you mean the new ones and not the classic ones
I have the special addition on VHS and the last 3 on DVD
In case you have not seen the lord of the rings movies try reading the book first(nerd alert)
A good old movie to watch is the Warriors lots of subway action also a nother interesting movie is the 4 Duces (mob/gangster movie)
MMMmmmmm, Grits with butter &/or Cheese....

Okay, how about Deep Fried Corn on the Cob? Dennis will probably kill her, but my wife LOVES that! BTW - She lived in Atlanta GA for several years and found that the one thing she really hated was boiled peanuts.
Grayson, you better lay off that anti-Splenda talk! Chief will set you straight. He told me my learning was just beginning, but I guess I'm pretty slow.

nope havent seen anyof them, wasnt a tv watcher when i was young or old i guess, except for the dukes of hazzard, i never missed them
jim f- the train club is not really a club there are three other members and all they want to do is get drunk and talk bad about their wives, not much fun thier, did it twice, once cuz i didnt know the second just to give them another shot. Looks like i will be riding the rails solo around here. unless i go over to charles house but hes 85 doesnt move to well and i would love to run trains but i can see he is in pain when he walks. Dont want to have fun at his expense.
took the beagle and went to the lake, threw his butt in, swimms pretty good, had a heck of a time getting him out of the water, cant blame him it was 102 today...
well im out to the train room, its only 80 out right now......
Welcome Grayson, (The southern guys need all the help they can get)
Been busy today, talked with John and Keith today. Nice to talk to friends regarding trains. Poor Keith been trying to call and didn't have the right phone number, so got that all straight. The 1688 he is having done for me sure sounds good. Will get some pictures of it up when I get it.
Got about 1/3 of the framing done for my benchwork. Then went to Home Depot and got a couple of sheets of plywood. sure makes it easier to have them cut the pieces right there! Normally I prefer Lowes, but HD was closer and I was concerned about time. Brought the pieces home and they all fit perfectally. All that needs to be done is nail 'em down.
Probably won't get the next section done for 2 weeks, Graduation partys coming up. So will just get things straightened out for the party, and maybe do some minor scenery.
Did have a couple of issues, having to double check everything. (Can you believe with all the planning I have done, I've lost 3", which is critical!) Didn't allow for the thickness of the mini-blinds! Then realized that the portable work table that I built will end up "land locked" if I'm not real careful. SURE WILL BE GLAD WHEN I'VE GOT THE TRACK ALL DOWN, KNOWING IT ALL FITS.
Will put up some pictures when I've got something worth showing. Right now just a few boards screwed together.
Doug - How are you doing on the G scale track?
Hope you all have a great day.
Don
Zeke, We use Gentian Violet for crabs, clears them off in a couple of days.
Grayson, Welcome. The pot has a small dedicated following this side of the pond, only difference is we like it hot (tea as it was intended to be. it's impossible to brew it with cold water), as for grits, the word says it all, like chewing a door mat. Yeeuukkk!!!
A good sense of humour is a handy tool and you will find plenty of use for it here.

Morning All,
Fresh pot is on, nice and strong. I take my java plain, none of the girley stuff like cream or sugar. Today we have an early dismissal, so kids leave at 1:15.
Went to a construction meeting on my new school building yesterday. Some stupid criminal/hoodlum types broke in over the weekend and were ripping out 2 inch copper pipe from the walls. I guess they were trying to steal it to sell it for scrap. (Scrap copper is bringing $3.00 a pound) They had no tools and were just grabbing pipes and bending them until they broke. Did about $5K worth of damage. Left the pile of pieces in the floor. They must have run off before they could load it up. Stupid fools should get a job. They are begging for laborers and workers everywhere around here.
I'll post a construction pic of the school when I get a chance.
Have a great day.

Zeke,
Get a second cup , it's on me. We are installing motion detector cameras at the gate and around the building. It's sad, but a fact of life.
Enjoy your day.
I painted some more Ballast last night. Sometimes it goes fast, other times I don't get much done.

Grayson - - even if you are a Southerner! Csxt - I'll try not to let my feathers be ruffled by your Amish comment... My Grandparents were the last of our family to have been raised in the Faith. I've many times wondered about scrapping 'modernism' and returning to the Faith... I'm not completely sold on the fact that all these devices are really necessary...Jim - Got it and responded. They are on the way!Zeke - I'll be sending you an email... the saga gets stranger...Grits? I thought we've beaten this dead horse already? Why would anyone want to eat something that you have to add flavoring to to make it edible? Just doesn't make sense. Grits are like sandy Tofu...1 DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
