Wouldja believe...
Those old tv shows were great in their day, but the kids and I just watched the Monkees with On Demand. The show didn't age well. And their dummy still creeps me out! Still, it was pretty innovative in its day.
WB cartoons on the other hand are timeless classics. Hysterical stuff then and now. There isn't a bad one in the bunch.
I'm watching This Old House while I'm typing. Rich is swapping out a tub trap. Why am I reminded of Brent?

That's very cool, Chief!
Just finished watching Survivor and now taping CSI and Supernatural. Re-watching Working on the Railroad so the kids can't see the "bad" shows. Do they always work on garden railroads?

Jim T - in case you're interested...here is a link to some vintage Lionel f3 portholes (not repros). Auction ends in less than an hour!

I wonder if Bent mailed out his trains...bwahahahahahah
Man, John S must still be pulling double shifts! Hope he gets back online soon, or at least eats some of this icecream and cake I've been saving for him! Sir James, I guess you can have some his icing, just leave the cake!
I can remember when cartoons were about laughter and slapstick hummor and not japanese culture "invading" the minds of the youth I will take loony tunes, hanabarbera and other "classics" the only two modern kids cartoons I liked was Voltron and Robotech, as for mindless tv watching I like in order King of the hill,simpsons, family guy and american dad oh and futurerama.
Disclaimer:
There is nothing wrong with Japanese animation just a difference of a generation gap and personal preffrences, now Japanese trains thats another story I would love to see some trains that are models of overseas prototype trains.
Voltron was good but Looney Tunes were better.

Jim,
Thanks for the heads up on the portholes. That seller has been selling those for awhile. However, I got repro 2353-11 portholes from Jeff when I changed the shell. I know they aren't proper for the 2343, but I didn't want to spend $50 for portholes. I'd rather put that towards an engine or accessory. Thanks again.
Good evening everyone. Sorry I haven't checked in lately. Been busy with work, kids school activities and the movie. We officially start filming Monday, but we actually started this past Thursday. I would check back more often, but this web site is kinda slow and it seems I rarely have the time right now. If anyone needs to talk to me, drop an email, I can usually check in every other day or so.
Y'all have a great weekend,
Dennis

EVENING FOLKS,
I was watching this old house too.Everything always goes well on there. do you think that cast iron connector would have came loose that easy for me? I don't think so. It's my understanding Cartoon network owns the old WB cartoons we all miss so much, but they shelved them. At least we can get DVD's.
Brutus thanks for the cake I'll leave some for someones coffee. Sir James
This is an add on;The only TV shows I have are the Dean Martin roast. good entertainment.

Evenin' All,
Hey, heard some good news for you Ohizoans on that other un-named web-site !
Davis trains of Milford has re-opened in Milford in a new, larger, location under a new name. The previous owner is assisting and the former emplyees are there as well. Same great outfit just a new name and a bigger store.
The only bad part is now I have no excuse to not go back and visit family.

Morning to all. A fresh pot is on. Got to go get another cup and then jump in the shower. NOthing much happening here. Love the cool weather and getting excited about Pootomac Eagle trip on Monday and York on Thursday/Friday.
88 - Susan is a pretty special woman getting your sister at BWI and making sure you get to York on Friday. Glad you will make the photo. See you there.
Have a great day.

Still rainy here this morning in New England. Looking forward to the weekend. The weather is supposed to be dry and cool, and we have a family gathering tomorrow night. My wife's cousin will be there and he is starting a layout - 027 stuff.
Ahhh, no homework tonight with the kids. I wish I could dope them up so they would sleep late in the morning. 6AM is a little early to have 3 kids jumping on your chest (or other vulnerable parts of one's anatomy).
Congratulations to Al Gore!
Morning!
More on the Banquet & Store Brand Pot Pies...
ConAgra Foods said on Thursday that it was voluntarily recalling all varieties of Banquet brand frozen pot pies and all varieties of store brand frozen pot pies following concerns that its poultry pot pie products may be linked to an outbreak of salmonella.

If it's just the poultry pies why are they recalling ALL pot pies???

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is another cool, cloudy day. 52 degrees. Going up to 64 today with no rain. Need some sunshine.
Today is a busy day. Paperwork to do. Phone calls to make. Then later, I have to run to the local store. I may take an hour and run trains later. Still need to do some detail cleaning of trains.
Today, the Indians open a 7 games series with Boston. Go Tribe.
Nascar Busch race tonite. Nextel Cup race tomorrow night.
Dining car is serving breakfast. All Aboard.
And.........Where is Buckeye ????
Y'all have a great Friday.

Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 60s. Last night was a little different. My dad and I went to Columbus to listen (and meet) Sarah Fisher. The local extension of IUPUI hosted a leadership program and had her speak at it. She may not be the most polished public speaker, but it was nice to hear her perspective on her career and the state of the Indy Racing League. There were bran muffins on the dining car from "Points East" this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Bizzarre news item: I read that George Gipp's (The Gipper) body was exhumed on Oct. 4 for DNA testing. Kind of a quirky sports story. He's been dead for 87 years.
Rickum rackum rickum ruckum. Get the ball and really ...

Morning all. Got "English" weather. Dropped from record setting 90's to 53 degrees. Temps going up but not like it has been. Will go from short sleves to long sleves in one night. Temp in house is 70. During winter, we keep it on 68 or 69 during the day. Greenhouse cleaning and plant moving is number 1 today. High 30's tonight. Now to get some rain. State Fair started today. Wife works till 5. Some days she works till 10 PM. She is working the USDA exhibit. Chats with those farmers. Goes through Sunday week. Good news for Ohizo [Dougsnotagrump report]. Buckeye WHO???? Later
Good morning from a crisp and sunny Chicago where it seems like winter. Got a big day here - class about podcasting, some other development work. Anticipated highlight of my weekend is I hope to go to the Great Train Show at DuPage Cty fairgrounds this Sunday morn. Never been. Supposed to be big. Wonder if the vendors take checks or a credit cards or are they all-cash? That Gipp story sure is weird. No one knows why the family really wanted to do it.

Morning All,
We have the same cool weather here,sun shining but low 50s. I read the Chiefs thread about his house temp. of 69. but we have a 92%+ furnace and we are getting too old to spend the winter cold all the time. are's is daytime 72.Down at nite. No plans for today I might start opening the "M" tender's so I'll be ready for the BCRs when they arrive.Otherwise lets see what the day brings. Tally Ho, Sir James

We have a new [4 years old] high efficiency natural gas furnace too. This old house is not insulated like modern ones. Added insulation where I could. Sometimes we bump it up to 70. Turn it down at night. Only turn it down 5 or so degrees as a fishing buddy of mine [in the heating and A/C] says that is about the break point for cost. Any lower and you waste the difference in the warm up period in the morning. Tree trimmers gone. Excellent job for all the work they did and cleaned up. Well, there went more of the money I won last week.

Morning all,
Jean had a tooth pulled yesterday, doing pretty good, but some pain. Went along to grocery shop, she won't let me go alone, spend to much on the wrong things.
Was about to start work on the dollhouse project, but Jean just left me know the granddaughters are here for a visit.
Take care,
Just back from a great lunchtime walk. The sky was clear, the air was cool. A very pleasant day for a nice stroll. But a few minutes ago, I walked by my secretary's window, and saw that it's raining again. Looks like I'll have to wash the car tomorrow.
