Holy Smoley !! Look at all the energy that badmitton playing has given The Chief !! He is really wound up today !! Just look at all the guys he just insulted !! Glad I've been real nice to him lately or would have gotten me too !!
I'm sure glad Buckeye is back now !! The Chief won't be getting away with that for long !! Maybe The Chief will find a good deal on some CSX stuff today at Miss Edna's !!
Fife : does your dog play badmitton ? !!
Boy, this what Jim would call a good Commando Saturday !!
Thanks, John
Welcome to the Crossroads of Commerce! The boy is outside selling like crazy. Lots of middle-aged fellers buying STAR WARS dolls (sorry) action figures...
CHIEF - Lassie would probably knawl off his right paw for a chunck of country ham. And yes, he is an old farm dog. Got him from a farmer who was raised in NC. I have to call the dog with a southern draw to get his attention. Send me your address and I'll FED-EX him to you...
Morning all. Prayers for Zeke and Jenny. I was afraid that things were not going good as no news. I knew he would hit the computer a soon as he got home. Alright Zekie, stop playing around and get well!!!!

Fife, get the hint. He does not like you. Probably a good REB dog. Doesn't like the smell of Yankees [they smell like wet chickens]. REBS smell like SOUTHERN Fried chicken. Probably longing for a bowl of GRITS with redeye gravy on top. Maybe a small chunk of country ham on top. Then he might stay home more.
Got to get on the road to Miss Edna's.
Hope John F and Renovo make a conection. John F is a great guy [for a Yankee].
PEW!!! Yes, Buckeye is back. OOOOO what a smell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take a shower before you post again.
Later

Good Morning All from NE Ohio
Where the temp is 72 degs and headed into the mid 80's with BLUE CLEAR SKIES!
Buckeye - good to see you back.
John - don't forget the real need for speed - NHRA is also on today!
And again our prayers are with Zeke
All be safe
I am a person with a very active inner child. This is why my wife loves me so. Willoughby, Ohio - the home of the CP & E RR. OTTS Founder www.spankybird.shutterfly.com
Well I just sent one kid packing for a week. My oldest is off to the beach for a week with a friend’s family. We might make it over the mountain for the Altoona Rail Fest then the Horse Shoe Curve. Later in the day we are going to bike the Staple Bend Tunnel Trail. This time I will remember to bring a few flashlights.
I wonder if the wife will figure out that I really want to stop at a cool train shop in Altoona. Well she will figure it out when I stop in front of the store. The day will get to a high of 82 and will be sunny. The inside of that tunnel is looking better each minute.
I might try to run into John F but that would be by change since I’m not sure of the time he will be in town.
I'm back from Northern Ontario and from my very quick read, Zeke has been very sick. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Yes, I'm back from fishing in the great wild bush country of Ontario where our group of four boated 202 fish. We only count those that we actually get in the boat. We do not count nibbles or hook-offs like the Chief.
Speaking of the Chief, what is this I hear about him trying out for the Olympics in badminton?
A train stopped us at a crossing at the Soo. Interestingly, all engines in that part of the world have snow plows.

Good Morning veryone !! Yeah !! Where's Buckeye ? !! Probably got tons of fishes !!
Well, the big suspension job is done & looks like it was successfull !! Got done a little after 10pm last night ! Seems to ride ok. Watch it fall apart on my wife now !! OOh, hope not !! Though it may if I don't put that one cotter in the nut on the balljoint. I want to tighten it up again before I do, thinking after it gets driven a little more & seats in more. Wonder if that's a good idea ? !
Gees, 2 races today & a baseball game !! What a great day to stay inside & watch TV !! Ha!! No, I want to get outside, plus I have the whole garage to clean up today & put tools away so I'll just take some indoor breaks today !!
Hope everyone has a nice weekend !!
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a beautiful, sunny 60 degrees. Going up to 86 today. The sky is clear and blue.
Zeke / Jenny...Sorry to hear the bad news. I hope he pulls out of it. You both are in our prayers.
Buckeye....Where are you ?? Catch a lot of fish ?
Today is going to be an outside day, mowing grass and enjoying the great weather. The rain has caused the grass to start growing again. Looks better green than brown. No time today for trains. Maybe tomorrow. I took some layout pictures, yesterday. Will post on SPF.
OK, here is the Dining car. Time for breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Saturday.
Chuck
Helping the boy set up for his TOY/YARD sale this morning. He's parting with a lot of his possessions because he'll be 13 in a few months...look out.
Thanks for the post Jenny.
My prayers are for you, and Zeke. Hang in there.

Mornin' boys. Sunny and already muggy in the Mid-Atlantic region. Gotta call this gal who picked up Lassie in the middle of the night. I wonder how far that dog got this time. Saw him at the bottom of the street last night, called to him, he just looked at me as if to say, "Love ya, but I ain't done doin' what I wanna do yet", then he split. Almost as bad as a teenager...almost.
Looks like the Chief is trying to appear more young and fit with his new exercise regimen for the Mayoral race. I think he should include an action shot on his campaign literature.
Good morning from New England.
Not much happening here today. We got some more rain yesterday and today is supposed to be perfect beach weather. We are headed to the club to sit by the pool after breakfast.
Rubber stamping my 2025 proved to be a bit of a chore. The dry transfer numbers the restorer used were under a coat of clear. So I ended up sanding and repainting the cab's sides. It came out gret. Can't even tell I did anything. The paint matched perfectly! Will rubber stamp with silver paint today.
Wish I could be there to watch the Chief playing badminton! Wonder if he wears little white shorts to play...
Hoping old Zeke pulls through. He's in God's hands.

Be praying for Zeke here too. I sure hope he pulls through too.
We will certainly be praying for him!
Get well soon Zeke!

Evening guys,
Missed a day again and it took a while to catch up.
Zeke, Where are you. Hope you are still improving.
RT, Yes you can collect Unemployment as long as you were not fired for cause. Hope something comes along for you soon.
Colin, Welcome Back from Vacation.
We finally got some rain, .4" on Wednesday evening & another 2" on Thursday evening. The 2" was spread over about 7 hours so a lot of it did soak in.
A couple of long time coffee pot members have not been heard from in a while. Tom S. form NY and Jon E. from out West.
Spent some time at Reading Days at the PA RR Museum yesterday. Two modular layouts, the Reading Historical & Technical Society in HO and Joe Bryce in 3 rail O. Will try to post some pictures on Sunday.
We are heading to Horseshoe Curve and Railfest at Altoona tomorrow, early train out of Harrisburg with the Harrisburg Chapter of NRHS. Hope to get some good pics. Probably wont be on tomorrow as we will get home late.
Take care,

A spectacular day out there! Warm and breezy. Low 80s expected for tomorrow, then the heat rolls in. Not much going on tomorrow. Probably sit by the pool. Then Sunday we have a baptism to go to.
I hope to get my 2025 all stamped and run that for a while tonight. I also want to finish up Julia's pink train. I never got around to placing the decals on it. The smoke unit quit on it the other day. Most likely a loose wire.
Hello everyone!
Just walked in from the shore a few minutes ago. I got a LGB Coca Cola Modern Tank Car while I was there. It's a great looking car. Pics for SPF.
Zeke, sorry that happened, but I'm glad you are feeling better! You are a great part of this forum.
I see I have a lot of catching up to do. I think around 10-15 pages is what I missed.
I hope everyone has a good afternoon.
