Actually, it's I-280 which turns into I-75 and yes it is open and very impressive at over 4 miles long. I am not so sure I would want to take it in a snow storm!

No t/treaters since the kid stubbed out his cig and demanded candy about 4 years ago. Kids around us are too old or too young - very young ones just go to their friends' house and to parties. Not like when we were kids at all. Had some chicken fingers and watched Ghostbusters with the kids, now The Great Pumpkin! Off tomorrow and will play with trains with kids - have a couple scenery Q's, will make separate threads!
Doug M - trainset, is that a single word though? I guess....
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Man, I love Halloween. Went home early on an extra express Metra laid on. Carved the pumpkin with the youngest, then he got his knight costume together, I got out his red wagon and off we went. It was clear but got cold when the sun set. Visited a few blocks. He went up by himself and rang the doorbells, remembered to say thank you. He was scared by some decorations and after that I went up to the doors with him. It must be fun to be five.
The two teens went around - sans costumes... no fun.

Hello everyone I haven't been on lately little one is due anyday now. Had 2 false alarms since monday.
Hasn't been a good week at work either. Had 3 officers shot in the last 4 days. This city is going down fast. I'm thinking it's time to abandon ship and get out of Dodge. If you could just keep my friend Officer Cassidy in your prayers. He was shot today.
Well some good news is the Dr says it look pretty good that the little on will be here by this weekend. Still in disagreement with the wife about a name. I would like Jolena, my wife wants Gia but it sounds to much like a nickname, Vienna is kinda in agreement for now. Well have a good night everyone.
PhilaKnight - gotcha covered....I remember when Philly was a better place than NYC....times have changed...
WELL...the display was a huge success, emptied a CALDRON FULL of candy. Was preety much done at 8:45, a few stragglers at 9 whilst I was removing the electronics. Lots of great comments on the house and a few scared little ones ( but I got them their goodies anyway).
I'll post a video tomorrow....I smell like fog juice. will probably shower off if I can stay awake long enough
Off tomorrow and Friday, TTFN!

Good morning from New England, where another nice day is in store. Mid 60s and sunny. Will wash the car tonight and perhaps work on Brent's trains.
The kids had a great time trick or treating and giving candy out last night. They all fell asleep in my bed watching Casper (again). I limited myself to one Reeses cup. The battle of the bulge continues.
November 1st already. The older I get, the faster times seems to fly by.

Joetrains,
The penny for the guy kids have been at it now for over two weeks and fireworks have been let off for the same amount of time. It is against the law for private citizens (who must be over 18) to buy more than seven days before or to let them off other than Nov 5th. I have seen 10yo kids setting of industrial fireworks in the last week. A large part of the population want a total ban on accursed things.
Dennis,
The landlady of the Armoury has been asking me where the photographs of your friends pub are?

Morning!
Great night Trick or Treating! Oldest was soooo excited! She was Dora swag went into the backpack. Youngest didn't want to wear the cow costume, so she sat in the stroller. Great Haul...mostly chocolate, and one small wooden train. The light up necklaces and bracelets ($1 for 15 at Michaels) we passed out were a big hit!
Youngest ansy...and throwing toast gotta go.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
Iy is a dark 56 degrees. Only going up to 65 today with sunshine.
Today , I will be busy for a few hours. Have some errands to run. Then, I will relax this afternoon. Maybe run trains for awhile. I need to switch trains on a couple of main lines.
Dining car is here. Time for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Thursday.
Chuck
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the high 50s. Philakinght, good luck with the baby. Life will get interesting for you. We had many trick or treaters last night with over 50 stopping by. We think the orange lights may have helped bring them in. I also managed to do weights and some track work at the YMCA. Read the Hogwarts trainset reviews on another post. Sounds like it is a good set. It may not be a "Polar Express", but I think it will sell well. Just the usual fare on the dining car this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Morning all not to much going on here today getting ready for work . spent most of yesterday doing one type or another paperwork so that was a day off I lost but needed to be done so oh well life goes on and we all just get doing the best we can lol.
Well time to get ready for work so talk to you all later

Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Cloudy and 59 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Youngest girl looked beautiful in her white witch costume (NARNIA) last night. Also noticed a lot of older teens out last night, but heh, at least they're doing something...
Insurance called me yesterday to tell me car is being totalled out. I'm out the $7400 on car payments I've made over past three years (car is worth less than that...), "sorry". Oh, and got a follow up call an hour later as to how did I like my service...I politely explained it wasn't a good time to ask that question...
Philaknight - Terrible news. Hope your "brothers" can fully recover. Philly is bad;Baltimore is worse. When I get to the mountains, I'll send you some real estate ads.
Morning all. PK, my thing and shooters of law enforcement officers is immediate assignation of the shooters. They got shot resisting arrest. I'm a little predigest as I have a lot of friends in law enforcement, two of my chilcren are in law enforcement and I was an aux officer.
Off to get new 4 Runner this afternoon. Wife could not wait. Been on the phone handling the particulars. Also on the phone handling the arrigant County Planning Director. She got chewed by County Officials. [Yankee]
Off with by-pass plans to show lady how it will effect her driveway. Back and do some trains until wife get home to go to dealership.
Later

Never heard of the Kissimee Astros, I presume that this is a minor league club?
The shopping center in CTT latest issue is only 65 minutes away from me, Aventura Mall in North Miami FL.
Hey, wish I lived close to that layout, I'd spend hours there!
Almost forgot, Happy Saints Day folks!
Got stuck in a meeting today, so no walk at lunch. Waiting for my buddy to get back with pizza.
Hello everyone,
Sorry for my recent leave of absence. I have been in physical therapy and I have regained a lot of control in my knee. The surgery will be the 21st of December.
Philaknight I have heard so much about the shootings on the news up above where you are. Congrats on the new one coming!!!!
Chief, good luck with the new 4 Runner. I have heard nothing but good things about them.
I hope everyone has a good rest of the day.
