Not totally sure what all that means, but I'm fairly confident my contributions to SPF will be "simply faaabulous". (2 finger snaps)
88 - 10X optical zoom. And "Steady shot" stabilization. The SONY had a little more heft than the similar class of CANON, 20% slimmer, but still had a nice mechanical feel to it.
And, this is Ms Kelly's digital, not mine. I still shoot K-64 with my trusty EOS REBEL. But, bless her, she wants to see how much more crisper layout photos will be with her new baby. She's already wanting to go to WV to take some scenery shots.
HI GIZ,
BIG NEWS,
BUCKEYE, MADE IT INTO CTT?
Just got my new CTT and was perusing through it, when low and behold on page 12 for the CORRESPONDENCE part there is a letter from a FRANK O'HARE from GAHANNA, OHIO about the bridges that KENT JOHNSON designed. BUCKEYE why not ROGERS CORNER you threw me off? WELL DONE BUCKEYE!!!!!!!.

Nice, I have the Lionmaster one and runs and sounds great.
I use a Sony CyberShot - had it over a year - 6.0 megapixels, 12x zoom. You will like this camera a lot.

= mostly I'm eating Weightwatchers treats at home (ice cream = 100 calories I think?), but the prob is at work! People keep bringing in all this great food and I can resist anything except temptation!
Here's that Riddle book on trackwork - a lot cheaper at Amazon (shhh!)
Just catching up - congrats Buckeye!!!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Now I know where my camera is.
Buckeye published!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The CTT is going down hill and there goes the neighborhood.
Back from dinner and Town Board. Retiring Mayor told me her Mom was 91 [which is correct] and later told me her Mom was 71 [more the Mayor's age]. One time she came up to me and said I don't know who you are but thank you for coming to the dinner. Even though it has been a pain since she would not resign as the Board tried to get her to do two years ago, it almost makes me cry. She is such a kind hearted lady. She could not run the meeting tonight, just sat there. Well, it was her last. So sad.
Popcorn time.

Ordered an MTH Premier PRR Decapod tonight and will have TMCC installed. It will be close to trout season by the time it gets here. Looking forward to seeing my son who is away at school but returning for a few days over the long weekend. I have to watch the border war between Mizzou and KU Sat night. I graduated from 2 MU campuses and live in Kansas City, MISSOURI! So I will have to try and defend the border this weekend. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.
Chief: I retired from the City Attorneys office 4 years ago after 30 years of service. Government service is a unique environment in so many ways. Hard to run it like a business sometimes. But good luck to you!
Morning!
Coffee's fresh again this am!
Hope to glue up the foam and run wiring Christmas layout today! Bride will be taking eldest to prep for Thanksgiving dinner at friends home. Youngest to stay home with me to make cranberry walnut torte.
Able to peek in all the packages last night... no trains. She may have left something in the friend's car...she did with the eldest's toys. She pulled them out after she found out she was still sleeping. She did come home with the low voltage light bars for the Dept 56 houses! No more 1-1/4" holes for the plugs! She also bought the City Sledding Hill!
RT, Pennvalley: I have a feeling I'll be right there with you on the meds...We'll know in a few weeks...at least this stuff is controllable.

So many roads, so little time.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a partly cloudy 60 degrees. I see a little blue sky. Going up to 70 today, with a slight chance of rain later.
Today is the day that I drive up to Cambridge for groceries. Gas is still high at $3.09 a gallon. Believe it or not, food prices have dropped in this area. That's an improvement. No time for trains again. Maybe tomorrow, I will get some quality train time.
Dining Car is here and breakfast is ready. Later.
Y'all have a great Wednesday,
Chuck
Good morning all,
It is cloudy and still mild in SE Indiana with temps in the 60s, but rain, colder temps and maybe SNOW is on the way. Doug M., you can keep the snow up north. I was busy last night as I cleaned the gutters and the bathrooms, helped with dishes, went to the YMCA for some track work (just walking, but at a good pace), and watched "Dancing with the Stars". I saw where Helio advanced to the finals and I got to see one of my favorite singers, Avril Lavigne, do two songs. Michael Flatley of "Riverdance" and "Lord of the Rings" performed as well. It was a good evening. I had just the usual fare on the dining car this morning as I see it has already been to "Points East". I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
44 and dull grey skys here to see the sun later and 64 mot too bad for november. Suppose to rain for opening day o deer.
Hope to run trains tonite.
later,
'Morning from a misty and cold Chicago where I pity travellers today with a few inches of snow supposed to creep in from the north...Sorry, Mike. Hey, wait a minute, where did I leave my windshield scraper? On the garage shelf. Rats. Hope today is a quiet day. It is already since voicemail appears to be down. Hurray! Did you see our boy Neil Young in the news... http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/11/20/green.hummers/index.html

GOOD MORNING
Rain and 40s Wife and daughter out christmas shopping so no dining car. Kurt- I noticed you get up early in the AM is that for work or do the kids get you up? No plans for today,yet, just wanted to check in. Sir James
Good Morning - Hope everyone has a Happy Turkey Day!!
Finished installing my AC Power line last night. Put in a Panic Switch at the opposite end of the layout as well. Probably really dont need it since all the hand held have the HALT button. But, it still makes me nervous when something happens and the layout gets a short or something. Like that power off immediately.
Looking forward to the weekend, but limited train time. Thur - family, Friday - Outside Decorations, Sat - Inside Decorations, Sunday - work 3/4 day, ugh.
Chuck at Mizells really helped me a lot. A month a go I had them replace the thumbwheel in a DCS controller, this month ordered a speaker from him, and it should be here Friday. Mth (Midge) was very responsive as well to call I made on Monday, but the price is the same and Mizells is a lot closer.
Those of you that have the new CTT, was anything said about the TMCC/DCS compatibility issue from last 2 months and the toggle switches??
Off to work, maybe get off early!
The Weather Channel sure is messed up here! They are announcing our area is under a Flood Warning! We havn't seen any rain in months! Nowhere around either! Somebody must be washing a car or left the sprinklers on!

Roger, we are heading that way in the morning. I plan to leave dark early as I figure the traffic will be quite bad. We are supposed to have a good chance of rain too, so that will only add to the issues. Hope to get by the store on Friday. If you are there, it will be great to meet you.
Got some issues with the dog. Will be taking him to the vets at 11am and hope to get him taken care of...he's a good one. We were going to let him have the run of the place while we are away, but will leave him at the vets in case.
I hate coming here with yet another issue. Don't want to start sounding like a certain shyster who took us for a ride awhile back.
Anyway, hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving and travelling mercies to all with places to go.

Good job Buckeye! Rogers Corners is a suburb of Gahanna...
Beautiful bright sun shine day in North Florida. Rain possible tomorrow. Trying to clean house. Getting started on prepping the turkey for tomorrow. Going to the airport (ugh) to pick up sister-in-law who is flying in from the Big Apple. Arrival is 6:00 P.M. so will be in evening rush hour traffic. Haven't had much chance to run trains. Level four in train room was dead the other night and didn't have time to check where the problem was. Need to do laundry this weekend as well. Hope everyone has a great holiday.

Work???? No I don't work... I just have to stay at home with the kids, and cook, clean, wash dishes, shopping, bills, yardwork...and other duties as assigned. My wife works enough for both of us; 10-14 hours a day.
I'm usually up with the youngest between 4:00 and 4:30am. She wakes up for a bottle (still) and goes back to sleep. I can't get back to sleep after I've been up for a half-hour feeding her. She'll be back up for the day about 6:00am, and the eldest is usually up by 7:00am.
Jon: Good luck on the Turkey! Sounds Delicious!
Hurray! The office will close early today.Boo! The automatic doors won't lock until 6.Hurray! Someone else will stay to watch the doors.Boo! There aren't any trains home until 225. Hurray! I'll go early and buy the new Model Railroader to see Rod Stewart's layout.Boo! It's pouring rain and I'll get wet.... This could go on.
