Modeling the Baltimore waterfront in HO scale
From what the news tells me, almost all of us are eating fish imported from a 3rd world country. 90% of the fish we buy (from retaurants or our grocery store) are imported. 1% of that fish is tested by the FDA, and 50% of all fish tested fails a test. Most of it has antibiotics left over from the overpopulated fish farms. Not very cool. When the FDA tester wont eat fish anymore, thats enough reason for me to stop unless its locally caught for fish night!

Congrats, PhilaKnight. I like her name! It's certainly better than Vienna Sausage!
Chief - I told you to get to a doctor. I hope you're feeling better today.
Sunday Photo ideas - a reposession and a pink train.
I was talking about the popularity of the Harry Potter train set with my wife yesterday. She asked how much it was. When I told her, all she said was, "I've always liked that train". Sounds like permission to me.
Brent: Wife wants to redo the bathroom. ...last room in the house to be redone. She saw a flyer at the mall... some company will come in and redo the lot in a day...I took one look at the photos on the flyer, and said "they didn't do that in 1-day!"
We have a cast iron tub that needs refinishing or replacing...not sure how to go, and she wants a pedistal sink! I don't think a new cast iron tub will work. Bath is only 5-feet wide, and I think it was installed as the house was being built. We'll see.

Philaknight, CONGRATS!!! Sir James, good luck to the wife. Meds will keep the cholesterol down.
Yankees tried to posion me last night. Suddenly started itching and turning into whelps all over. Rebs are always prepared as had Benadryl with me. Poped one. Still getting worse. Then felt like throat had some congestion. Poped another one. Feet were swelling. If that had gotten worse, would have called EMS. Went to sleep propped up in bed. Around 12:30 AM, woke up and was better. Slid down under covers and slept till 7:10. Better this Am but right foot still swolen. Think I will be better after a cup of hotel room coffee [well, not as good as my fresh ground at home]. Wife immediately siad it was the fish and carb cakes [she does not like seafood]. Had this several years ago. Kept having allergic reactions along with right shoulder hurting [now left]. Suddenly woke up one morning and could not use hands due to pain and swelling. 24 hours later, couldnot walk, chew or use arms and hands. Ran tests for months. Allergic reaction to an unknow source. HUMM Had it 11 years before that. Got me kind of worried as looks like same pattern setting up. Reason I had Benadryl along, I had a mild version of this just before I went to Baton Rouge the other week.
Well, lets see if the Yanks throw snohio at me today.
John B [where is the old cuss?] and Nic, see you all are spending a million dollars on a temporary stadium for the Olympics. Temporary!!!!!
Later, got toget ready and go eat breakfast [wish they had GRITS, cures everything].
Later
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 50s. I did laps at the YMCA, and my legs just felt heavy. I was a little disappointed with my speed for the 30 minutes. On the positive side, I did find the zip ties I need for the train layout I am working on so the night was a wash. TCA meet in Indy this Saturday and possibly one in Cincy on Sunday. May go to one of the local school performances this weekend as well. Congrats to Philaknight on Vienna Rose! Glad to hear the wife is doing well. Chuck, glad to hear the wife's surgery went well. Doug M, glad to hear you and the family are enjoying the trip. Brent, sorry to hear about all your hassles, especially at a time like this. There was a little extra on the dining car this morning from "Points East". I hope everyone has a good day. Mine is already shaping up to be a busy one.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Morning fellas, Ms Lisa, and Jumijo...Thank you for the well wishes and birthday wishes for Susan. This is a very trying time because her brother doesn't deal with grief well and he over reacts to everything... we were trying to get flights for 5 adults and a child and her brother decides he is flying out on an earlier flight and taking her father with him so he doesn't have to make a connecting flight so what is he going to do??? When he gets to Birmingham he is going to get the rental car, go to a couple bars (he has 4 hours till we arrive at 9) and have 'a couple drinks' then HE is going to pick us up at the airport and HE is going to drive the 1.5 hours to the family farm... I told Susan I am NOT getting in the car with him if he has been drinking for 4 hours... no way, no how, not happening. She is stressed because her favorite uncle has passed away, and now her brother is pulling his 'wowisme' crap. I'll rent my own car before I get in a car with a drunk driver.Sorry for the rant, just had to get that off my chest.Kurt - yep received the roll of quarters yesterday. Kids will be a bit bored for a few years since we don't have little ones yet.RT - Glad to hear the Dr visit went well.Lisa - Here's to a speedy recoveryBlueberry - Take care of that waitress... only 3 days but you'll be hungry starting tomorrow!
Fife - .... I forget what I was going to say to you...Chief - Snow in CT? Heck you should have gone to Erie, PA... they had 6 inches (weatherman predicted no precip) over night a couple days ago...Jumijo - Keep doing the snow dance... got dump a big load on our honored guest from the North South... Doug - I have uttered those words together only once before... last year when Susan's mother passed away on her Aunt's birthday.Brutus - The masterbathroom is coming along... last night I finished tiling the toilet room. Only have to finish the main room now and I can grout the floor! Depending on when I get home on Sunday I may skip the Ravens game and finish the floor, that way I can grout on Monday and install the baseboards, then I can install the toilet and vanities on Tuesday and we'll have a functioning bathroom for the first time in 2 months! PK - CONGRATS ON THE NEW ARRIVAL!!!!! We expect pictures... NOW!
PhilaKnight..Congrats the new arrival. Rose is my duaghters middle name also!!
Doug, I know that place. Right next to the recently closed Race Rock. Helicopter tours and trains....!! It has a very nice display on several levels and has running water!! I think it was like $6 or $7 per adult, but very detailed and entertaining.
Sir James on your bride.
Here at work for a short short, even though I'm supposed to be on vacation guess they can't run this place without me

Brent: That roll of quarters I sent for the box of goodies should have arrived...did you get it?
Congratulations PhilaKnight and family!
Great news! Big healthy baby!
Good morning from New England, where it is chilly but nice.
The wife was home last night, and we all had a nice evening. She bought some 2" thick steaks and we grilled them outside. The boys and I ran trains last night for about an hour. The more I watch our scale F3 run, the more I like it. It looks so much like a real train. Great detail. Maybe it's time to get rid of the post war junk and go scale all the way. Our new K-Lionel cars look great. Each has metal grab irons and ladders and diecast trucks. The couplers even have simulated air lines hanging off of them. A great deal at $19.00.
Looks like a quiet weekend ahead. The Patriots have this week off, so I can't watch them destroy anyone...
Welcome Vienna Rose!
Good news about Sir James' bride.
Jim A, I wanted to look for Kenny to give him so advice for the White-colored Sox.
I saw a shop today on the way to take the family to dinner - The sign said Helicopter Rides and Model Train Exhibit. Have to check them out! Anj, that would've been nice.

Congratulations, Philaknight! Beautiful name and sure glad all are fine!
Laz, remember to measure twice when comparing tools! Chinese food is great & love that fried rice
Sir James! Wife ate the last of the icecream, so I hope you've got some Banilla!? Chewy and I will be over in a few minutes - Sure glad to hear your wife is okay! TTFN!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
HI GIZ,
Had shop teachers conference today and another tomorrow, we compaired tools? Not too bad, heard a few fellow teachers talk about robotics and such pretty interesting stuff.
Ate Chineese for lunch great.
DON B. I do have the 4012 from STEAMTOWN, runs great!. I have it running against my Lionmaster Big Boy, pics on Sunday. Real big difference. But ran it everyday since friday and NO PROBLEMS.
All B safe.

HOWDY All
Took the wife to Dr. today for her followup on her caterization and I guess he is satisfied her circulation is ok. he gave her a stack of papers an the proper diets. I still believe moderation is the key. Good tasteing food is one of lifes pleasures. and thin people have heart attacks too.
Took care of my friends B&M today so that is done and he is preping my F3 frame for paint. The only problem is I can't find a lightning stripe decal to match the old lionel. Micro scale has one but the rear of the stripe goes straight to the back end.
We had another cold overcast day and expecting the same for tomorrow.41 as I write.,,,,,,,,,''''''''''''''Sir James

Good news RT and Chuck - God bless everyone!
Brent - congrats and condolences, what a day.... God bless you both!
Doug M - sounds like you guys are having a blast, don't work too hard! Your wife is a very good writer, reminds me of Erma Bombeck and Elaine Viets! I try to check out her blog every day or 2.... Loved the mosquitos and the potty chair story!
Sunday is Veterans Day - remember our heroes and heroines! The original idea was to take 2 minutes of silent thought or prayer at the 11th Hour on the 11th Day of the 11th Month.
Just a quick check in
Brent Send the Mrs a and a condolence from me
Blueberry well wishes to your Mrs for a speedy recovery

Hey Dougie...You like this place? Orlando is fun, but the rest...a metza metza... anyway have a good time. It's 3 hrs south of me. If I had a few spare, I'd come welcome yuz giz.
Brent: Sorry to hear about Susan's uncle, and the HD...but wish Susan a Happy Birthday, anyway. PS My kids are already on their way! Don't send yours...maybe they'll keep each other company.
RT: We'll be praying for your continued good health.
Blueberry: Glad things went well for the Mrs! Prayers for fast recovery.
Howdy........
Wife is home and sleeping. Surgery went well. Doctor said she is to stay off her foot for 3 days. I guess I am the cook. Oh, Boy.
Thanks to all of you for your good wishes for the Wife. I really appreciate that.
Chief...It gonna SNOW in CT.
Chuck
Brent tell susans sorry to hear about her uncle best wishes on her birthday even if she's only 13 going on 14 .
Well all went well at the doctors office he had them draw blood to check a few things out (will know in a few days I guess) the doctor that does the thing with my difibrillator did see where the lead is fine but my heart has been doing a jump quite often so need to figure whats going on there with some other test with the blood they took today. I'm supose to do another stress test as soon as my insurance kicks in so thats after the first of the year acually wanted it sooner but kinda expensive so I just have to live with whats what for a while.
He didn't seem to concern with all that I told him but the doctor with the test equipment was a little concern that I drive with this in me. But told me and gave me a paper with warnings and what to do if driving and I get any symtoms of heart beating fast and all.
Well I guess all is going to be alright. Still don't know whole bill for today but I do know that its up there now some of it is doctors visit and some is test and then there is the reprograming of the device . By the way he said my lead is fine. But we need to keep an eye on it just incase so I need to go see him about every 6 months.
Well now I can look at taking pics of some of the trains I want to sell for xmas money (I do this every year) i try to buy at a good price and sell just befor xmas for xmas money
That and I have trains that I don't see having anyway to use os display so I guess they can take a hike also. (need to get some standard track to put standard set around xmas tree this year)
Well thats about all for today talk to you all later.
Just back from my lunchtime walk. It's brisk out there! 45 degrees tops! No pole climbers today. Just lots of people raking leaves out of their yards.
Doug - the MLB GMs are all down in Orlando for meetings. If you see Theo, tell him I said hello!
Wifey will be home tonight. That means meatloaf beatloaf most likely for dinner...
On the other hand, the LHS called to tell me my K-Lionel freight cars are in. And only 8.5 days until the Greenberg train show!
Brianel of 027 fame posted a link the other day to an Industrial Rail reefer. I sure am liking the Santa Fe version. I'll be looking for one at the show. November could be an expen$$ive month!
Six, two, and even. Over and out...
