Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Cloudy and 59 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Youngest girl looked beautiful in her white witch costume (NARNIA) last night. Also noticed a lot of older teens out last night, but heh, at least they're doing something...
Insurance called me yesterday to tell me car is being totalled out. I'm out the $7400 on car payments I've made over past three years (car is worth less than that...), "sorry". Oh, and got a follow up call an hour later as to how did I like my service...I politely explained it wasn't a good time to ask that question...
Philaknight - Terrible news. Hope your "brothers" can fully recover. Philly is bad;Baltimore is worse. When I get to the mountains, I'll send you some real estate ads.
Morning all not to much going on here today getting ready for work . spent most of yesterday doing one type or another paperwork so that was a day off I lost but needed to be done so oh well life goes on and we all just get doing the best we can lol.

Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the high 50s. Philakinght, good luck with the baby. Life will get interesting for you. We had many trick or treaters last night with over 50 stopping by. We think the orange lights may have helped bring them in. I also managed to do weights and some track work at the YMCA. Read the Hogwarts trainset reviews on another post. Sounds like it is a good set. It may not be a "Polar Express", but I think it will sell well. 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....
Iy is a dark 56 degrees. Only going up to 65 today with sunshine.
Today , I will be busy for a few hours. Have some errands to run. Then, I will relax this afternoon. Maybe run trains for awhile. I need to switch trains on a couple of main lines.
Dining car is here. Time for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Thursday.

Morning!
Great night Trick or Treating! Oldest was soooo excited! She was Dora swag went into the backpack. Youngest didn't want to wear the cow costume, so she sat in the stroller. Great Haul...mostly chocolate, and one small wooden train. The light up necklaces and bracelets ($1 for 15 at Michaels) we passed out were a big hit!
Youngest ansy...and throwing toast gotta go.

Joetrains,
The penny for the guy kids have been at it now for over two weeks and fireworks have been let off for the same amount of time. It is against the law for private citizens (who must be over 18) to buy more than seven days before or to let them off other than Nov 5th. I have seen 10yo kids setting of industrial fireworks in the last week. A large part of the population want a total ban on accursed things.
Dennis,
The landlady of the Armoury has been asking me where the photographs of your friends pub are?

Good morning from New England, where another nice day is in store. Mid 60s and sunny. Will wash the car tonight and perhaps work on Brent's trains.
The kids had a great time trick or treating and giving candy out last night. They all fell asleep in my bed watching Casper (again). I limited myself to one Reeses cup. The battle of the bulge continues.
November 1st already. The older I get, the faster times seems to fly by.
Modeling the Baltimore waterfront in HO scale
PhilaKnight - gotcha covered....I remember when Philly was a better place than NYC....times have changed...
WELL...the display was a huge success, emptied a CALDRON FULL of candy. Was preety much done at 8:45, a few stragglers at 9 whilst I was removing the electronics. Lots of great comments on the house and a few scared little ones ( but I got them their goodies anyway).
I'll post a video tomorrow....I smell like fog juice. will probably shower off if I can stay awake long enough
Off tomorrow and Friday, TTFN!

Hello everyone I haven't been on lately little one is due anyday now. Had 2 false alarms since monday.
Hasn't been a good week at work either. Had 3 officers shot in the last 4 days. This city is going down fast. I'm thinking it's time to abandon ship and get out of Dodge. If you could just keep my friend Officer Cassidy in your prayers. He was shot today.
Well some good news is the Dr says it look pretty good that the little on will be here by this weekend. Still in disagreement with the wife about a name. I would like Jolena, my wife wants Gia but it sounds to much like a nickname, Vienna is kinda in agreement for now. Well have a good night everyone.

Man, I love Halloween. Went home early on an extra express Metra laid on. Carved the pumpkin with the youngest, then he got his knight costume together, I got out his red wagon and off we went. It was clear but got cold when the sun set. Visited a few blocks. He went up by himself and rang the doorbells, remembered to say thank you. He was scared by some decorations and after that I went up to the doors with him. It must be fun to be five.
The two teens went around - sans costumes... no fun.
IE ate my post again
No t/treaters since the kid stubbed out his cig and demanded candy about 4 years ago. Kids around us are too old or too young - very young ones just go to their friends' house and to parties. Not like when we were kids at all. Had some chicken fingers and watched Ghostbusters with the kids, now The Great Pumpkin! Off tomorrow and will play with trains with kids - have a couple scenery Q's, will make separate threads!
Doug M - trainset, is that a single word though? I guess....

Actually, it's I-280 which turns into I-75 and yes it is open and very impressive at over 4 miles long. I am not so sure I would want to take it in a snow storm!

If you're getting one and have O72 curves, better make sure you have a good deal of clearance. It smokes up a storm, has good sounds, etc. Legacy II systems will be shipped at a later date (owed to the buyers of the BB).
ROGER, I hope to get mine soon.

It was cold and frosty today aroun 6:15 this morning, I thought I was in Cuyasnowga county
Anyone get junk catologs with Trainsets in them, I have one that advertizes a "Buddy L" train set new production limited to 1,000 units valued at $600 on sale for $190 there about comes with transformer but sound is powered by 3 AAA batteries loco is diecast complete with cars and track total weight 16lbs. Oh and it is G scale indoor/outdoor.
John Bakeer Thanks for the info. I left England in 1973 so my railway knowledge is outdated.
As for Halloween how about "Penny for the guy"
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Zonker should be hanging out in a pond pretending to be Jacques Cousteau or something. I really love Pearls Before Swine, Mother Goose and Grimm, and of course Garfield and Dilbert. I loved Foxtrot - too bad he semi-retired.
You gotta love the Classics like Beattel Baily, Phantom, family circus,Prince vailaent
Modern comics I like For better or for worse lots of train hummor, Foxtrot is cool, Dilbert, I can Identify with walley have not seen any catbert evil HR director strips in awhile I have don't step in the leadership and the dilbert principle cool books, Shermans lagoon is cool.
