Thanks, John

I'm watching the Indians beat the heck out of Tampa Bay !! Running a couple trains & emailing some, all at once, coffee too !!
I'll take a cup to mine went cold.
met up with mable and theres alot she is not taking. i told her that the best thing to do was prolly have an estate sale. This way she can sell off everything she dont want.
They have a 35 ford in the garage i knew nothing about. Hasnt been drove in 10 yrs she said. I wish i could buy it,lol like i need another car. But she will make a fortune with all her stuff. She has so much quaility stuff. So i discussed her moving in with me and she said she didnt want to be a burden, i explained she wouldnt be and i would be delighted for her to move in. I have 2 extra rooms she can have rent free. has its own entrance to. told her to think on it. Went down stairs and sat and looked at all the trains, she told me i could box them up and take them anytime. I figure within the nex cpl days i will. Guys there are so many trains. He has all 4 walls completly shelved and full of trains. Plus the ones on the layout. i couldnot possibly use all of these. I am gonna repay those who have blessed me. Every single one has a box too. Thier are some i will need help identifying for sure. some look like tin trains, they say lionel though. look relly old. I must sat there 30-45 minutes imagining charles down here running these.
well been a nice day im going out to eat tonight and then see some fireworks
catch you all later tonight
Oh, you probably had some of Corparel Klingers hot dogs !! Were they good ? !!
Yes he made that place famous but I never thought they were anything special, until Mash came along. They named a park after him and he host a LPGA turny there.
Thanks for the company tonite, I'm going to find a place to sleep in the pullman need to save my money for toy trains.
Evening all. Pam and I went to Texas Steak House with SILs and their two young teenage kids [boy & girl]. Then to movie Knocked Up. Not for very young teens. I laughed my behind off.
Ran trains for two hours this afternoon after getting back from Miss Edna's. Switched from a mixed freight to grain train while the fast piggyback/double stack train ran by. Moved the trains from one loop to the other and had them both on same loop for a couple of rounds. Just had fun. Did remember I had a used Z750 in a box. Got it when I got switcher, some cars and used Realtrax. Had polarized plug. I might use it for accessories. ?? I phase all my transformers [even though not necessory if not connected to other transformers or using the same common. Well, should have known Mike was different from everyone else. Cut plug off and put on another polarized plug with wide blade switched. Now it phases. Why would they do that except to be just plain different.
Good night. Full of theater popcorn [after a big NY strip].

Good evening all,
It was a nice day in SE Indiana with temps in the 70s. I did the sweeping and mowed the lawn. I was tired. After resting a while, I went over to my dad's and watched the Dario Franchitti show at the IRL race in Richmond. Danica was 6th. Buddy Rice was 5th for D&R, and the "Evil Empire" was shut out of the top 10. Manning was 14th. Scott Speed will start 15th in the F1 race tomorrow on Fox. I am glad to hear the waitress at "Points East" is doing better. We had pancakes and bacon on the dining car this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
personally i buy of ebay because its cheap sometimes. But i have gotten a few bad items but were replaced by the seller. I recently got a mth transport flat car with 2 69 cameros on it. looks real smooth.
Jim,
Your latest e-mail was very apt in the light (pun intended) of what happened in Glasgow yesterday.
May they all burn in hell!

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a beautiful, sunny 62 degrees. Staying sunny and going up to 80 today. This is perfect weather.
Today, I am busy. Need to mow the back yard and trim, as soon as the dew dries off. Wife is doing good. Pain a little less. Tomorrow she goes back to doctor for a check up. Hope she can start getting around more. Have not had any time for trains. But, the thought is there.
If I have missed any posts, I hope all is well with all of you Folks and if not, you will be in my prayers.
Dining Car was here early and breakfast was self-serve again. It should have arrived at " points west " by now.
Y'all have a great Sunday. Catch ya later.

The OTTS boys and Gals had a great time at the Mad River RR Museum and at Train-O-Rama!.
Just a few of the things we saw.
Chief - Lionel hasn't been any better with some of there transformers either. Maybe the Chinese can tell left from right!

Laz57 - You can always watch Wes Whitmore's video for your fix. I know it's getting me thru my blue flag period...

Yes. I've been reading about this on the internet. I'm very grateful that they were thwarted. And those car bombs would have been terrible in London. Hope you are feeling better. There is some New England Crud going around in Roseyville. Maybe you got Ye Olde England Crud?
Recently bought a set of dvds Monk Season 4. They are in those thin cases. Well, we couldn't find the 4th dvd to watch. Searched everywhere. Finally checked inside the couch, since I remember my son reading the back of the dvd cases. Well, this one was down in the couch and the case was destroyed by the mechanism - it's a recliner couch. Watched the actual dvd and it was still okay, so need to get a new case for it. Man, my wife kept telling me to calm down, apparently I got pretty red in the face. Kid was lucky there was company as I was well and truly prepared to apply the board of education to the seat of learning!
Well, need to work on the basement, mow the lawn if no more rain today and then run my new Lionel Lines 0-6-0! I got this one to go with my LL 3461 log cars.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Hello All! Really enjoyed the Mad River Museum in Bellevue,Ohio & yesterday was a perfect day to be out also with the nice weather we had. Zeke- I do hope that Mabel moves in with you as it would not be good for her to be alone, Especially since her Grown Up Children live so far away & do not seem to care about her at all. You're doing the right thing for her at this time. Take Care. Chuck- Glad that your wife is doing better. CSXJohn- I bet you'll be happy when you retire- More Train & OTTS Time for you. Take Care all.

The Chief isn't getting any rain cause he doesn't like CSX !! Has no CSX rolling stock or engines !! See how simple it is ? !!
Afternoon all,
Just got back from Church. After Mass there was a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Knights of Columbus as a fund raiser for the Church Cemetry. Good eats!!! Always love pancakes.
Well yesterday I was getting some sight prep done for the future garage addition and while moving a 3 x 6 x 4" concrete slabI tore my left bicep, OUCH. Urgent care sling and take it easy. Not what I need right now. Funny, I could more that slab 15 years ago.
While leaving urgent care I saw there was a hotrod cruise in at McDonalds. WOW over 130 hot rods from the tristate. Some VERY cool cars. Walked around for a few hours trying not to droule on the paint! The older cars had class, and looked different from each other. There were several hot rods modeled from the hot rods of the '50's and '60's, soooo sweeeet. Listening to lumpy cams open headers. Brought back memories.
Back hoe guy coming later to scope out the ground prep. Going to clean up the other car while wife at store, so I won't get in trouble for not taking it easy on the arm. Going to post some pics. Later
Jim
Jim - You'd better take care of that arm - I tore a bicep muscle once - it still bothers me some and it's been about 6 yrs.!
