jim--- what is romex?

[Brutus]

Hi guys from a warm but not too HOT St. Louis.  No rain for a change.  I stopped at Home Depot and got some Romex and surprised that a roll of 250 ft was only $65!  last time I bought some it was about $90.  I guess that timing is everything.  Jaabat, welcome to the home computer world.  Hope Mrs. Blueberry is continuing to improve and that our English Brothers remain dry and well.  I picked up a small Tap at Home Depot for 4-40 screws.  Now, why didn't I think of that before?    Need to get a new motor from Jeff now.  Also, mailed my check for my 022 switches today.  For some reason our car insurance went up $200 for 6 months.  They switched us to every 6 months last year and now it's going up?  I think it might be time for a new insurer, because we had no accidents or anything in the past year.  Oh well, TTFN.

Just tested my new used KW I got from ChooChooAuctions at a great price.  Looked new out of the box.  Works great and no flaws I can find.  Anyone know how a Z750 works with a remote?  So far I have not gotten the remote to do anything.  The Z works fine manually.  No instructions with remote.  Did get the instructions with the Z.

 

well chief your answear is simple------------give it all to zeke and youll have no problems....lol

Hi Ladies!!! Here it is, my first post from home!

Just got off the phone with some windbag from the South trying to tell me the right way to cook veggies. I was busy polishing my newest post war "baby" when he called...

Yanks do NOT know how to cook.  No seasoning and still raw [they say crisp].  Had squash/onions seasoned with bacon drippings, corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers for dinner [all from garden].  When you cook green beans [string beans in the South], you season with ham hock [or bacon drippings] and boil them with pealed irsh potaotes].  When all get cooked good, drain them and chop up green beans.  Cabbage, do the same.  

Then, you go bury this mess in the back yard.

you forgot at least 5' deep so the dog don't dig it up as somethin dead

Went to look at a good sized collection for sale yesterday. All stuff, most of still in the original shipping boxes, was 1/2 price or less. Williams, MTH and Lionels all for a song.

Stengy did NOT buy a lot.  He is doing better with my influence.

Will write more later. Got to go feed the kids and do some ironing.

For you Southerner's, ironing is the practice of smoothing wrinkled clothes with a hot, flat device. It makes clothes look neater.

Iron??????  I did not know Yankees knew how to iron.  Thought they wore big heavy coats and sweaters over their clothes during the winter.  During the summer, they always wear seersucker.

Just got back from walking to pond and back.  Fed fish while I was there.  Was over a mile and a half.  Good for me [I guess].

Later.

hey doug i tried that all i got was motor cycles?

[ChiefEagles]

Busy morning.  Town meeting.  Got to fix lunch.  getting headache from no food.  No time to read previous posts.  Hope none of our gang is swimming or floating with the floods.  Send some rain our way.  Watering.  Guess the mouth of the New England has not gotten internet service yet as he has not posted.   Later.

[Anonymous]

doug all i got was motorcyle stuff....dont know about driving a trolley?

 

although i really like yours...

[cnw1995]

I heard it was kind of foiled, Zeke.

Read this instead: Search Google Books for 'motorman' and read what comes up - The Motorman and His Duties - this is one of those scanned books from the U of Michigan Library's transportation collection - from 1903 - there is also a similar book about how to be a successful motorman. For the next time you have to drive the local trolley.

hey i was wondering if you guys been watching the news? i dont usaully because i am supposed to stay away from war related items because of pdsd, anyways there were some bombing is england? crazy. and kansas flooding is insane, ever time i turned to peak it was something horrible.

 

 I hope everyone is safe!

[cnw1995]

I'm hoping the trolleys win out too  - did I tell you about the Chicago Aurora and Elgin shut-down re-ennactment at the museum this past Saturday? My buddy went.  They shut down mid-day 50 years ago after shuttling commuters into the Loop and stranding everyone who had to find other ways home. Three full CA&E cars that actually ran that day went out to the Seemann Road stop, which was standing in for the Forest Park terminus of the CA&E. Everyone was let off at the platform and the cars went back empty. There was a nice talk about what happened on that last day of service and then the C&NW came to rescue everyone with the bi-level train.
