GOOD MORNING COFFEE POT, watch out for the dribble cups
Yesterday I went to renew my drivers licences and the computer system went down state wide as soon as it was my turn will try again today after work.
I downloaded a free version of digital mars C/C++ compiler and took me a couple hours to figure out how to actualy compile a simple print statement but I succeded if I like the compiler I may go for the full version.
Rainy here this morning. That's cool with me as I just put grass seed down Monday.
No trains last night. I watched Flicka with the kids. A modern version, not the oldie. One of the lads fell asleep and didn't see the happy ending.
Although I didn't run any trains, I did go down and look the layout over. The 2343s are on the inside loop, parked in front of the station. I looked at them for a minute or two and thought how lucky I was to finally get such a nice set. Right place at the right time ($$). I really am enjoying those beauties!
My left chest hurts this morning. "I'm coming Elizabeth!"

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a sunny, but cool, 54 degrees. Going up to 74, today, with a chance of rain later.
Today is the weekly trip to Cambridge, for the grocery shopping. No change in gas prices. In fact, all the prices of everything, are staying high. Not fun any more. No time for trains today. A few aches and pains are coming back since the weather cooled off.
Indians start the ballgames with Boston Friday. 7 games.
Dining car has arrived and is ready for breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Wednesday.

So many roads, so little time.
Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Fair & 70's here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Got a little rain last night;calling for a little more this evening.
Nick12 - Thanks for sharing the Amsterdam pics. Beautiful station. Personally, don't care for the bullet-nosed high-speed locos. But when you're in a hurry, they'll do the trick. Just curious, do the local stores in Amsterdam charge a premium on chips, snacks, and other "munchies"...
Phish - I use FRAM filters with the black grip ends. Easy off.
Chief - Direct on Mr. Wolf and the switch problem. He will also get his ear bent for their new parts policy.
Mitchie - glad Mom is home and you're able to get out to Romney. Just came back. Leaves haven't changed there yet, just up top near Oakland. Reading a book on Romney in the Civil War right now. Picked it up at the Apple-Butter Festival in Burlington Saturday. Also picked up a paperback train book Chessie System in WEST VIRGINIA. If you're a big C&O fan, get it. But Mr Dixon totally ignores a big portion of the B&O and WM. Disappointed.
Mitch,Glad your Mom is doing better! LOL @ the pot and spoon, that is classic!Brutus,Thought you would find this interesting:http://www.timesonline.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18900333&BRD=2305&PAG=461&dept_id=478569&rfi=6Has Laz stopped posting on the Pot?----Wanted to post a couple update pics of the bathroom...This is the framing for the new tub step:Framing with Hardiboard installed:Vanity areas (you can see where the drywall patches are for the old medicine cabinets):Shower area:Wall removed where the shower faucet is:Close up of the old plumbing:Old plumbing cut away:I must have forgotten to take a pic of the new plumbing completed... will post later... here is the start of a test fit before I realized the mounting board needed to be replaced with a narrower one so the large black plate in back would be flush with the finished wall:So tonight I finish the shower plumbing and finish removing the drywall/tile. Then install the Hardiboard around the shower and behind the tub. Still have to remove tile in toilet room.Need opinion on somethingThe water supply for the toilet comes through the floor, should I leave this alone and just cut the tile around it, or should I reroute the water supply through the wall?

Don't worry. Lots of folks have that when they are having a heart attack. When it feels like I am standing on your chest, call 911.
Mornging. Meeting with Town Commissioner at 9. Dr's apt at 1:30 to check hand and see if there are more places to carve out. Got a sprinkle this AM. Fife, thanks./ Got to watch those Pot Pies. I cook them when I am on the road in motel room [microwave them]. Later.

Bent,
Go in the wall with the toilet water supply if you can. I'll repair your tender and vista dome if you repair my bathroom!
Do you drink a lot of Red Bull by any chance?

Jumijo - I don't know what 88 runs on, but like I said before, when he finally gets down to building his train layout---WATCH OUT!
Oh, about your chest, you probably popped a "gasket" when you were trying to loosen that oil pan bolt;weird positions will do that... If you're not going to eat that bacon, could you pass it over here?
Brent reminds me of Mrs. Howell of Gilligan's Island when she ate the radioactive beets. She was running around doing everything.
And yes, I am going to eat that bacon. Are you going to eat that cruller? Can we watch?
Cool (70 degrees ) and sunny in Jacksonville this morning. Not much new with the trains. Fell down 3 stairs at back of deck Saturday night. Went for my annual physical yesterday. Doctor asked how I was. Told him, "It only hurts when I breathe!". Said I probably cracked a rib. Not much can be done so I guess I'll just play Mr. Tudball ( from Carol Burnett Show ) for next few weeks. Waiting for the Train Works to call and tell me the new collegiate cars are in. They have shipped from Lionel, but Dave always has a time lag waiting for his supplier. Anxiously awaiting next month's ( December ) TRAINS magazine. I will be joining the elite group from the Coffee Pot as my letter to the editor will be published. Happy Hump Day every one.

Leave it. Remember there's water in them pipes. As soon as you open the pipe, even if you blow the pipes out with compressed air, you'll get a lake on your ceiling.

Morning from a cool and grey Chicago where it was 43 degrees cooler than it was 48 hours ago. Jon, got your email; I'll look around. Jim A, every week, I seem to be paying other people more to do more things that I used to myself. MMMMM, bacon.Brent, I'm impressed with your work - personally, I try to avoid anything in the house having to do with water under pressure and 120 v.Mitch, nice website. Glad to hear your mom is recovering. Wonder how Dr. John's mom is faring?Nick, very nice photos - I recognize that 'French' look to the middle engine.

GOOD MORNING All
A good thread day. Train pic's, a beautiful school,etc., I like the Fram filters too,because of the easy grip. But that first time off for plug & filter can be a new word learning experince. Been there. As for the water pipes all our first floor pipes come through the floor, never had a problem with that, but I would not advise someone else how to do theirs. Cool with a little sun this AM rain expected later, its down hill from here.....Later Sir James

Kurt... that's what they make towels for... you put a bunched up towel under the pipes, then cut the pipe... only runs for a few seconds. Just did this on one of the vanities, but I have to rip up part of the floor, put down new underlayment, and all that mess... just not sure it is worth the effort... of course I've done this much so what is another hour work - right?
Sounds like you're bettrer at sweating fittings than I...It took me 2+ hours + great hair lloss to join (2) 1/2 inch pipes under the floor where I removed a toilet in our remodel. Water kept leaking into the joint and messing up the solder. Opinion based on bad personal experience.
I agree with Jumijo, (gulp) the wall would be better, and make floor tiling easier and cleaner.

when your doing sweating in them pipes with water we always put some bread in there to temp block the water and let us get the sweating done and then the water will disolve the bread.

Cloudy and damp here today, so I just did laps in the parking garage. The rest of the week promises more of the same, but hopefully the weekend will be clear.
I guess Brent is going to send me his pw tender and passenger car for me to experiment with. I sure hope he likes pink! I sure hope he doesn't want them before June!
What a boring day.
I completely understand the whole wife/sledgehammer fear. My wife is threatening to start on the tile floor in the master bath...ai yi yi!
Did you mail those trains yet?
Uh huh. Now let's see, where did I put that Pepto pink paint...?
Good afternoon guys,
Started on dollhouse #3 today. Since it is such a nice day, not to hot, I also got in a little lawn and garden work. Now taking a break.
Brent, I get tired just reading your posts.
Mitch, Very nice Website for the school.
Laz, Are you mad at us, or are you out in the woods pursuing Bambi with the bow?
BTW, what is the story on the pot pies? Didn't hear anything.
Used to change oil in my vehicles, but haven't done it for quite a while, to many aches and pains after crawling under them.
Take care,

I use to also change oil in my cars even thou I swear the vehicles are higher off the ground than the one befor it seems tighter to get under them than the last one just can't understand it . accually I can get under the present one but like jefelectric now its to many aches anymore.
Not to much going on today just sitting around the house as I'm off and tomorrow is payday and not sure if my direct deposite will kick in this payday or not this will make the 4th scince did paperwork. I figured it would of last week. oh well will know tomorrow.
John, Banquet brand pot pies allegedly causing samonella-related illness. Looks like it's more a case of people undercooking 'em. Certainly not affecting ConAgra stock though the pie plant is closed. See http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/foodwine/2003938061_pie10.html
