HI GIZ,
Still cold here today only hit 29. Took dog for walk down the road from house about a half mile away and low and behold saw 6 doe. Been watching these GIZ from the spring. Still didn't see the two big buck in the area. Got to try that SPECIAL WHISTLE that the CHIEF does to feed his deer. Last day o rifle season on Sat., going up to MOMs. Maybe get lucky?

Yea man, who did that cat play for?
CHEECH and CHONG, a classic.
Suppose to snow some more here in the heart of it all(Better know as central ohio) and then a warm up with some rain this weekend.
shoveld snow and ice from walk and drive way this afternoon.
will foce my self to go to work tomarrow.
Doug, If you are using one of the "older" transformers you will probably have to invest in a whistle/bell activation button. Before I got a CW80 I used a K-Line model with my old 1044 transformer on the Christmas & halloween layouts.
Break out the sandbags, weatherman says we are going to be hammered by another storm rolling in tonite. As long as it isn't like the one that hit Wa and Or earlier in the week.
Kurt, That Santa & reindeer sounded like something out of the 60's.

Good morning from a bright, sunny and cold Crystal Lake - it is about 15 so far. I'm glad the middle boy figured out how to run the snowblower to clear the driveway and walks yesterday. I'm going over to my neighbors later to help him take down his deck tent which is pretty trashed by the snow. I was really tired after getting home but not enough to break-out James and run him for the first time. I still can't figure out how to blow his and Percy's whistles. They're not working when I punch the sound button on my old Lionel trainset transformer. I'll figure something out. I am happy with my second main line around the perimeter of the layout - I think I might add a third - then I could run Percy, James and Thomas at the same time, put Diesel in the yard and still have a trolley loop. Question for the day: According to the show, what made the reindeer fly?Don, that is a great gesture that truly reflects the boy's character.

Good one FIFE, better luck next time.
Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Picture-postcard winter morning (and 26) here in the Mid-Atlantic region. About 3 inches of SNOHIZO on the ground, heaviest of which came down around 8. While sitting on a lot, saw a NS OPERATION LIFESAVER GP38-2 slowly cruise by a grade crossing...kinda took me downstairs to the train room for a moment.
rt - I thank you sir.
88 - Can't play guessing games 'til after my third cup of coffee...
dbaker48 - Nice job, Dad...
Don B- it's always a great feeling when the kids do something you can be proud of. He did good.
As Kurt said 10 deg. this am, clear sky, snow expected overnite into fri. We been getting those wonderful static shocks lately when I remembered I had not turned on the furnace humidifier. Hope that helps.
I have not got to trains yet this morn. but have a few things in mind for today. Maybe let HWX run while I fuss around. Later,,Sir James

Good morning all,
It is cold in SE Indiana, and I am still fighting mine. I did get a good night's rest. We did have an unusual incident last night. Lucas came home and said there was a bat in the back utility room. We do not know how it got in the house, but some how it had hurt itself and was just fluttering around the floor. With the three of us coordinating efforts, we got it trapped in a trash can with a cooking sheet over it, and I took it outside. It was too hurt to survive outside so I had to "dispose" of it. Not one of my more pleasant tasks, but maybe one of the stray cats can get a meal out of it. My dad was running the layout at the historical society yesterday for the school kids, and he said things went well. I had the usual fare on the dining car this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
44 here and the roads are clogged - WiTH IDIOTS!!! Sorry, just had to say it... Going up to 68 today clear and cool, just like Autumn should be.
Don--- Good Karma as they say in Cali! Congrats on a fine young man!
Shipped off a couple of box cars I sold thru d bay..went later in th afternoon, no lines at the Post Office...no Christmas rush..yet?
Be safe & warm..

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is cold. 1 degree. Clear skies. Going up to 30 today. No new snow.
Today is grocery shopping day. I'll drive up to Cambridge this afternoon. Gas prices have started to climb again. Must be because it snowed. LOL
No trains today. Outside trees look nice with the lights on , and snow on them.
Dining Car is here and it's time for breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Thursday.
Chuck
BRrrr--
7:00a.m. Banner Ellk, N.C. 21F with a light snow on the ground but topped with sleet and really slick . [edit at 7:30 a.m., the Mountain Weather Station update now reports 15.7 degrees].
Ain't going anywhere but got no trains to run except Thomas, Percy and company that I brought here for the Grandkids during Christmas Holidays.{I do have my 2-8-8-2 Mallet boxed up ready to ship out for some cosmetic and detailing work but hardly believe it will negoitate this round-the-tree loop].
Reporting black ice on some of the roads above 3,000' altitude--schools delayed 2-3 hours.
Morning!
Boxcars here this am! (12-degrees) It felt cold when I woke up...
3-yo woke up at 6:00, when I went to pick-up her sister, sort of...she rolled over, and said 'daddy we need more junk', and I asked if we needed more trains, and she was fast asleep. Just like her mother.
I knew the Worlock trivia!
You did good Don! He knows what's right.
9 degrees out all secondary roads icy. 2 hr delay YEA is me, must be doing something right.
Not much else happening.
HAPPY FRIDAY EVE.
All B safe.
Don,
This Holiday season no greater gift will be given than which your son has given from his heart. A lesson from you and your family to your son goes on, and may your pride last a lifetime.
Thank you for sharing that pride. Ken
Evening all, well tomorrow is the BIG DAY, Our big boy comes back. Been at the Big L, for repair. Apparently had a loose ground wire, that subsequently shorted out a couple of boards.
I'm going to take this opportunity to BRAG. One of my son's friends live with his grandmother, as does a 21 yr old cousin, (of the friend) and parents. Family has had a lot of issues, and financial problems as well. Anyway, the 21 yr old was killed this past weekend in a motorcycle accident. Unknown to us, Chris went to his Credit Union deposited his check, and withdrew spending money, and $100 extra. He took the $100, and gave it to his friend to help with the funeral. The friend had him give it directly to the Grandmother. This all happened yesterday, I found out this evening. I sure am proud of him! On our way to the train club tonight he told me about it, and asked if "I" thought it was OK ?!?! He told me that he slightly knew the 21 yr old, and he was kinda of a Thug, but he really felt sorry for the family and their pain. Just had to share, I am so proud !!

Evening all!
Nice day here today. Sunny and about 70. Cool tonight and high of 68 tomorrow.
Not much to say - just checking in.
Busy day tomorrow.
Have a great evening all!
Regards, Roy
Laz - yep, lethal! Very cool, need to rewatch it as I was distracted!
Sir James, I'm on the way, just got off the phone!
Dougdagrump - Hey, you got a better deal than I did by $5, but according to MTH there are like 10 dealers with this set and after calling I have eliminated 6 of them from the list! They don't have it. I just bought the last set from a nice guy at Grand Central and they said would ship today!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Brent, They weren't the sexiest attire around but check out a good pair of snowmobile boots, probably a lot more stylish now. When we lived in the Colo Mtns we would be out and about on snowmobiles in 30~40 below and the tootsies always stayed nice n' toasty w/o getting to hot.
Brutus, I got my AT&SF Overtons from Justrains for $99.
