No snow. I see Dewey got some up in the hills. Buckeye,[Lisa] same hubby that let her fall off of pallet on back of tractor. HUMMM

Just back from my lunchtime walk. It's raining pretty good out there today. So it was laps around the garage. I walked counter-clockwise so I could pretend I was a NASCAR driver! Turn left! Turn left!
Slowly but surely, eating less and exercising more is starting to show results. But Thankgiving gluttony looms large...
Brent, I'm going to try my best to have your trains back to you by turkey day (a week from today if you can believe it). Thanks again for letting me learn some new techniques while I repaired them. I have to admit, when I offered to repair them, I had no idea how I was going to do it. And I had never touched an airbrush before painting your passenger car. But each day on my walk, I'd formulate a little more of my plan of action. I hope you will be pleased with the results.

Morning from a grey and blustery Crystal Lake where all the neighborhood leaves are blowing into my yard. Guesss I can make a big pile for the kids later. Got three 5 year olds over whilst I 'work' and their mom's go have coffee.Happy Anniversary, Kurt!! If she sent you flowers, that means you have to do something double-nice for her. It doesn't get you 'off the hook' at all. Looks like Murphy's Law is affecting a few of us: Don, Sir James and Brent in addition to Buckeye. Hmmm, I have to remember to put the whammy on the Chief too. Sorry guys - but it's the law.

I'm from Boston, not Toronto!
Just checking in to see what's going on and who's up to "no good". Rainy and temps dropping from 60 around 5am to the forty's by late afternoon. Down to about 30 overnight. Winds beginning to pick up. Gas prices from 3.12 to 3.35.
Dewey - stay in by the fire and enjoy the snowfall out those big windows!
Chief - looks like the fishing trip will be a "no-go" with all this rain. I had all the leaves cleaned up Tuesday and this morning the yard is about 3" deep. Rain and wind really bringing them down.
Well, gotta go make a visit to my patient and then take my Mom to the Dr after lunch. Hubby is off today and tomorrow - he left early this am to go deer hunting. Kinda like the postal service - "neither rain nor snow......."
Not much train time lately - trying to get moving on the Christmas layouts.
Behave guys!
Lisa
GOOD MORNING
Well things went good yesterday, the echo of my inards didn't find anything wrong so on the way home my p/u turned right in the white castle driveway Oh I tried to stop it from turning but in we went. Sounds like some others had a good wed. and some didn't. Best of luck to all. Ran some trains yesterday afternoon to check the on/off switches I put in, no warm wires so I guess they will do.Cloudy and cool this am those that work tomorrow is friday. Sir James

Morning fellas, morning Lisa, morning Jumijo...So last night I picked Susan up at her Dad's (dropped her off there after picking her up at the Amtrack Station)... told her I had to stop at Lowes to get the rest of the supplies for the bathroom, and she says she wants to get a new suit for her interview today... sometimes shopping for clothes for women can be fun... Well we didn't get home till after 7pm and I didn't feel like tiling, so I wiped the floor again. Opened the door this morning to check and no more white haze! But there is some hazing on the grout, so have to find that TSP stuff Kurt was talking about yesterday. Will look online today to find it... Floor looks slightly better than awesome! Have to get the shower tiled and the tub grouted tonight... looks like a late night for me. Then grout shower tomorrow night. Saturday I have to finish painting the shed (yes that project still sits uncompleted). Then it is measuring, cutting, and painting the baseboard for the master bathroom... question... is it OK to mount the baseboards before sealing the floor? I know it doesn't take long to mount baseboard, but if I can mount them before sealing the floor, that would be great. Finished preassembly on the one vanity top last night too. Will do other vanity top this weekend.Power went off at work this morning... no PC = no work... on remote laptop right now, but it doesn't have access to the main WAN - hooked up to non-ssa network ... power is back on, but still no WAN connectivity...
I can see you, Lisa!
Good morning all,
It is cold, dark, windy and miserable in SE Indiana with temps only getting to the 40s today. Tested the new layout last night with the 8E and all appears to be working ok. I also went to the YMCA for some track work. Lucas will be on the local radio tonight as part of a panel discussion with kids from all three county high schools. It could be interesting. Just the usual fare on the dining car this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cold and cloudy 36 degrees. Only going up to 43 today.
Today, I am taking it easy. Have a few chores to do and then off to the train room. Need some dusting and clean up.
Wife is doing better. Sleeping good. Foot must be healing. I'll be glad when bandage comes off next week.
Dining Car is here. Breakfast.
Y'all have a great Thursday,
Chuck

Doug, Could you leave my Mikado alone? I just fixed it and it running so sweetly.
The storms of November have arrived in Buckeyeland, just before the big game. The sky is a dark gray and the treetops are now bare.
Don, I feel your pain.
Great hockey game last night with a big fight, in the stands. Apparently two Black Hawk fans tried to mix it up with the home crowd, and were escorted out of the arena.
Fifedog, glad to see that someone retrieved you.
Kurt, I'm glad you remembered. Congratulations.
Started hanging the drop ceiling in the train room last night. I got one row done before the wife and kid got home. If we don't go to the zoo tonight to watch the 3 million Christmas lights, I'll probably get another row done. I'm hoping to start benchwork by 12/1.

Thanks! Ours flew by too! I was teaching our oldest to ride her bike yesterday. A few laps around the Living Room and Kitchen...Previously I had her on a bike trainer, to get the rear wheel off the ground, so she could understand the pedalling concept, so I didn't have to chase her around with my hands on the pedals. Now to steering! Soon I'll be cleaning up the El Camino, and Van.
Good thing the Jumijo doesn't have a bridge! Oh... and a detonator, but they'll find one of those!
Kurt
Morning!

RT: Great buy! Can't wait for photos Sunday!
Jumijo: Good luck on yer date.
Our Anniversary was yesterday, 9-years! and I remembered!...had my hands full with sinuses, and kids...
Bride sent me flowers, Birds of Paradise...does that mean I'm off the hook for the flowers? I'll probably get candy, just to be safe. She loves rasberry truffels.
Tonight, kids to bed, and special occasion 'dating/early marriage dinner' for us. Prosciutto de Parma, fresh mozzarella, grapes, kosher pickels, fresh bread, wine, and 2-seats in front of the fireplace.
Good morning from New England! Rain expected today and then much cooler for the weekend.
The kids and I watched some animated Batman episodes last night before turning in. Twoface was featured in the 2 episodes we watched. For those who don't know who Twoface is, he's a high-ranking town official with a dual personality. Tommy Lee Jones played him in a movie about 10 years ago.
Tonight the wife and I get to go out to dinner without the kids. I'm greatly looking forward to it. I might even make a pass at her! Then, Saturday night, we're hosting a good sized dinner party. Good times with good friends.
Don
Sounds cool - is that for outside or inside? Maybe on your shelf layout like Don did?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Finally catching up on the posts for the past day, sorry for posting twice. Chuck, glad to hear about your wife, hope she continues to improve!
Doug M - thanks for that link! Very cool website!
RT - congrats on your new trainset! It sounds like you got a really great deal, too! Did it include a transformer?
Dennis - been there, done that! Worked in a pharmacy and was clearing the freezer a little at a time. Boss decided to show me how to really do it - pow-sssssssssshhhhhhh! LOL

Watch it chief were in trouble this weekend lol
It's been almost 2 weeks and I still haven't adjusted to standard time either, Fifey. Neither have the kids. They poop out around 7pm. I get up at 4:45 and am at work by 6am. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and yawwwwwn...
Doug M - my kids are watching Thomas. Those British level crossings are pretty cool. They have large, white gates. I love the scenery in this series.
Done lost what senses I had left I went to hobby lobby today with 40% coupon in hand and what did I buy no not one of those lionel train sets but a Bachmann G scale train set now befor you think I have totally lost it was thinking be nice for around christmas tree but it gets better goto bachmann site and it list for $390.00 hobby lobby price 177.99 with coupon I paid $106.79 plus $10.15 tax so a total of $116.94 don't think I did too bad there really

Fifey! Howareyaboy?
I have to agree with you. What was I thinking?! Still, I consider myself lucky that neither one decided to plug in the transformer and see how fast the trains could go. And fortunately, wifey is on the same page as me (this time) regarding keeping them out.
P.S.
I got a hair cut today after work and look stunning. And I paid $3.15/gallon for 89 octane today, so maybe the prices have crested here.
Thing 1 + Thing 2 in the train room simply spells death and destruction. Either you've been hitting the Jaegermeister, or the CHIEF has two new recruits.
