Good afternoon everybody,
It is cloudy and cooler in SE Indiana with temps dropping into the 30s today. No SNOW except maybe for a few flurries today. I can leave the snowblower alone for a while longer. We stayed up really late this morning, and I should have posted then Wow , we are up to three pages already! It is good to see so many people on the new "pot". We got up around 10 AM today. We may watch some movies today as we are not into college football very much. I want to wish all on the forum a HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

Well Happy New Year y'all,
LAZ and ZWBOB - don;t worry - the fliers from AARP will start coming soon and alert you to all your ills and needs to plan for Medicare gap insurance! If you do not join, they send an 800lb (he seems to have gained weight over the holidays?) bear to help you see the light.
Watching the Rose Parade - really spectactular floats this year with the nature theme.
BTW - great Year in review article by Dave Barry in yesterday's newspaper. The most relevent quote applying to the Coffee Pot members is that the nations interstae highway system marked it's 50 th b-day last year with 47,000 miles of high speed roads connecting 157,000 Waffle Houses, including the one down the street from SpankyBird's house!
Have a great day all!
Regards, Roy
Happy New Year To All You Guys. Wishing You all the best. Gary

Now that is a real cup of coffee. Made a journey to Texas and Louisiana about 3 years ago for a wedding. First time I had ever had Community Coffee. The Mrs. and I bought about 4 lbs of the dark roast to bring home with us. If I close my eyes tight and breathe deep I can still smell the aroma.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
I toned down the greetings for all those bloodshot eyes this morning.
It's a balmy 45F with nary a snowflake in sight here in Gormley. I ain't complainin' tho. Usually by now you can hear a Ford rusting from 40 feet away.
Time to tear down the tree and put away the Standard Gauge stuff. That's the signal it's time to get back to working on the attic if I'm ever going to catch up to Chief. I'll try taking pictures of the progress and post them here ...just don't expect any jackrabbit results. I have to build a room first before I even think of benchwork.
I'm glad the Coffee Pot is back without any major Starbucks changes. And no Mocca Soya Latte at $7.95 a cup either!

HI GIZ,
Fist day of my 50th year, ouch?
Rainy here today might go out hunting with flintlock if weather improves or stay at home and put some lights on the layout?
All have a good one.

Good Morning and Happy New Year. Its gloomy outside and I'm getting a nasty cold. Been on vacation since the Thursday before Christmas. Don't go back till Wednesday. I kind of fell out of the old coffee pot, lets see if I can post more in the new pot. Time to start counting the days for the K-line club engine to show up. I payed for it in October 2004. I hope its worth the wait. The inlaws are coming over for dinner today(Pork, dumplings & sourkraute. NO GRITS). Oldest daughter going back to PA after dinner, youngest one home for the rest of the week. It was nice having them home for the holidays. Have a good day.

Too many lame brains in Ohizo.
Now off to my breakfast of country ham biscuits, eggs and grits [my wife cooked breakfast ]. Later
Good morning everyone,
I already had my breakfast, M&M's. It's going to be rainy and cold here today.
I am in the process of designing an N-scale layout, which will be on a door. The reason that it will be on a door is because there is more room for expansion, if I can get land grants. I know that I will be running primarily Lehigh Valley, Reading, CNJ, PRR, Chesapeake&Ohio, N&W, and NYC on the layout. I will post pix when I start building it.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Happy New Year!
Grits.....Hmmm could never get into Grits. How about Waffles and maple syrup??
All the best

I love grits but I love waffles and maple syrup more. In fact, Santa brought me a big jug of maple syrup [ordered from Conn.].
Morning to all and afternoon [I guess] to our buddies on the other side of the pond. Should be asleep but could not go back. Raining here. Must be real warm as turned the heat down last night and house is still the same temp as it was then. I've got to go find some real coffee. Remember, you will get a $1 for each blackeyed pea you eat.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND MORE TRAINS FOR ALL.
Happy New Year to Everyone and..............
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a sunny 42 degrees, going up to 48 today with maybe, rain later.
Looks like a lot of Folks were up late or up early. Good to see the new Coffee Pot in operation. I'm glad everyone had a safe and happy evening.
Today is a resting day. Nice meal and enjoy the things that make life complete. Maybe running trains later this afternoon. I hope all you guys have an enjoyable day too.
Here is the Dining Car with breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great New Year's Day 2007.
