IF I make it!I prefer to have macaroni noodles with my cheese sauce, not cheese sauce with my macaroni.
But did you serve it to your lovely wife, Susan for Thanksgiving?

HI GIZ,
Well lots o rain here in PA. today first day o deer season. Got out at 7:30 to rainy and pea soup fog earlier. Then at 800 AM the heavens unloaded on me. got soaked. Still stayed out there in 38 degrees for another hour, had a mom doe and to youngens at about 15 yards from me, NO horns NO shoot. Then on way out saw another doe. Got SOAKED. Ate lunch dried out, rained rest o day went back home earlier. Saw 5 turkeys about 10 yards from me. They were on a mission, not much shootin. Have to wait til this weekend.
FIFEDOG,1000 pardons, did not see that beautiful mug behind the mail box? GREAT LAYOUT! Boy you really had the youngster abiding to that crack of the whip on that layout building.
Good job,
laz57
Fife - I was showing my wife your layout and she loved it - "Beautiful!" And that is high praise sir!
88- Good luck! Keep us posted.
Buckeye, good luck to your friend - I pray that the spot is nothing.
Good news - a friend of mine from work found a Wii for us, so will have that tomorrow or the next day and my son's Christmas will be saved.
Sad news - Please pray for my friend Fran Mueggenburg's husband Gary. He had a stent put in last week just before Thanksgiving and had to go back yesterday due to blood clots. Also please pray for Cathy Pugh to get over cancer. Thanks so much. Don't want to sound like the Z man, but these folks need some praying.
Had a great time running trains yesterday and definite plans for the Christmas layout. Won a MTH WARR canon car on ebay from trainz. Also "buy it now"d two Arrista figures of a fireman and engineer for the BFOC. They are made of pewter and should help add weight to the locomotive.
Do you think it will be okay to put them on with those glue dots? Will they harm the paint on the locomotive?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
End of a long day. Got another one tomorrow and then off till next Tuesday. I have some packing to do as once we start filming the fire scene Wed., I will be very busy till I leave for Texas on Friday.
Jim, I too was worried with a lot of things needing prayer lately, some may think I was in line with mister Z. But, as the good book says, pray for everything. It does work. We will keep your folks in our prayers too.
Went to Michaels tonight. I got some lights that are partial goose-necks on poles that will be great for some yard/freight shed work on the layout. For those whose layout is still in progress, go to Michaels and check out the accessories for the Lemax sets, I am sure you could find items that will look great.
God Bless,
Dennis

Brent, Try making it some time with a couple of hot italian sausages,casings removed and browned, stirred into the cheese sauce made with the Sargento pre-shreded italian cheese blend. Sometimes I'll even toss in some additional oregano and basil.
Went by Wally World today and picked up some little ornaments to help decorate my Christmas freight cars. They are miniature clothesline spring clips with decorations attached. I think they will be able to serve two functions: #1 clip on to add decorations to sides of hoppers and gondolas, #2 with up-right clips use them to string some of the Lemax type battery powered Christmas lights.
Anybody in the market for a C&O steamer check out Gryzboski's, I believe it was the F-19(?) for $599. Memory ain't worth a hoot.

Thanks Dennis. Good luck on the movie!
Laz - I think I was last posting while you were and didn't read yours before wife took laptop. Better luck next time, man!
Chief, do you think those deer would like popcorn?
Hey, Mitch - where did you hide the new coffee? This one's gone cold.
Tired and time for bed - Sir James, John left you some icecream, but I think the chips are all gone? Hope the milkbone memories are starting to fade - lol
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cloudy 34 degrees. Going up to 44 today, with, maybe some sunshine, later this afternoon.
Today is a little busy. I have a few errands to run and help out around the house. Wife is slowly getting things back in order. Still has to wear the big shoe, when walking around the house. Otherwise, she is healing up fine. Maybe some train time later.
Dining car has arrived and it's ready for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Tuesday.

Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 40s. I completely messed up on the time for "Dancing with the Stars" and only saw Helio's last dance. Nothing against Marie Osmond, but if she makes it to the final two, I will be highly disgruntled as she is nowhere near the talent level of Mel B. or Helio. Last night was busy but did not accomplish anything and the only YMCA activity was a 30 minute walk. Did get a chance to look at some of the latest Trains magazine. It was just the regular fare on the dining car this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Mornin' boys. Partly cloudy and 55 here in the Mid-Atlantic region, which may already be our high of the day. It was 63 last night at 2330 when I got home. Weird weather.
laz - 1000 "fahget-a-bout-its"(Paulie Walnuts). Glad you liked it.
Dougnottagrump - You are absolutely right on the absence of B & O blue units. I have one GP9 (#6604) that didn't make the cut. I would like to add some Atlas dummy units to my roster, but they carry a pretty hefty tag around here. Plus, I want to keep my roster mainly to 1st & 2nd generation 4-axle diesels. All the modern stuff in the mag is my boy's. Only the Chessie GP30 is actuallly Dad's. BTW, I custom painted the MTH CSX CW40-8 on page 70, so Chris was the first kid on his block to have a "DARK FUTURE" engine. Thanks.
Brutus - glad she liked it. Perhaps you can sell her on a little more real estate.
88 - Try not to look so anxious today....
Chief - Be careful, wear some hunter's orange when you feed (Not the RUDOLPH cap that Buckeye gave you...)

Hope they don't think your to eager or you can't keep dates straight they might look neg at that . But your good enough to over come that.
Best of luck today on interview.

Morning All
Sunny 34/40 Much colder by end of the week. The F3 motors I used on this project seem to run good. They are new but maybe 10 years old. I did find one of the power trucks does not have magnatraction so they do not run equal. I'm running out of "put together parts" like that so may have to buy one. Brutus and others with sick friends I will remember them as requested. It seems like each sunday at church brings new illness to the flock.
I hope this finds the forum folks well, Regards, Sir james

Don't have to feed deer around here, they help themselves. In the spring they'd chew on the freshly planted tomato plants & new growth on the trees in my front yard.I've put plastic mesh screen over the young trees & plants now.
Here is a picture at dusk in my back yard.

Hat Buckeye gave me? OH, you mean the one with the antlers.
Morning all. Cooked me a big sausage and egg sandwich [covered a whole slice of bread] with lots of mustard. Couple of cups of coffee and a big glass of eggnog. Now off to Town Hall. Partly cloudy and real warm here. Later

Mustard for breakfast that is as bad as mayo on fries, how ever I used to use mustard on tater tots and salted my pizza

'Morning from a cold but sunny Chicago where I am back in the office for a few days. Added a second main line around the layout's perimeter last evening. Made it a bit 'shorter' just to fit its 027 curves within the outer 027 curves. Now eyeballing the yard or what passes for one. Lost the instructions I had for wiring 5121/1522 switches. Guess they'll be somewhere on the Lionel website. I'm sure the new ones work like my old ones.

Seems to be a touch of unpleasantness here at the Coffee Pot, as of late B.K. Contractors will be by later on to give an estimate on the hole in the wall from the stray panel truck. Fortunately, enough folks cared to keep things going, swept up the mess, and covered the wall. Maybe we can install a new drive thru window for those who don't wish to grab a stool.
As for Grayson, just come in and sit next to me kid.
ChiefEagles wrote:LAZ, I could kill my limit of does if I wanted. I go feed the deer after dark, they are waiting at the path. As I drive by, I give them [about 6 or 7 does] a special whistle and they jsut walk over to one side. Go to the pond and put out corn. Come back and they are standing in the path. I get out whistleing the specail whistle and lock cable. They walk over and into the bush. Don't snort or run off like when I first started this. I get out and put out 8 piles of corn in the middle of the path. Whistling the call. Get in the truck and before I can drive 20 feet they are in the path eating. I can go to the top of the hill and trun around and shine light on them and they just eat. I hope one day they will stand and let me put out corn with them right there. I had deer where I use to work trained tocome each afternoon and watch me put out corn. As soon as I got in the vehicle, they would come running and start eating. I could sit in the vehicle [motor running or off] and they would walk right around me. Look at me inside the vehicle with window rolled down. If I got out, they would walk away real fast but not run. Now that it is cold, I will walk every afternoon to the pond with bucket. I hope to get them to come while I'm on foot. They know that whistle means corn. Will they ever get over the fear of me on foot. We'll see.
CHIEF, you'll have to teach me that special whistle next time you come to Harrisburg. You should try and feed them out of your hand, we did this when I was a kid. We had a few deer that would come down to the farmers silos and we would feed them there at nite, was pretty cool. GOOD LUCK, sort of like the PIED PIPER?

Just picked up my new issue of CTT. I had to pay homage to Fifedog and Buckeye! I also got some 0-54 Realtrax curves. $5 a piece isn't the cheapest thing I have ever seen...Wes
