Evening guys
Another busy day.
Went to the MR club this morning and changed the long-shank couplers on the 2 Rapidos that had them. They work, but the lounge wants to stringline. Turns out this car is really light (read: guy who was going to add weight, never did....) and one diaphragm was stiff. I tried to remove it but it broke. Well the coach that the dog chewed would have a replacement. For now the sleepers are at the head end, and the coach and lounge are towards the rear.
I got home and pulled my car in the garage. I took the old shorty headers off and got the drivers' side new-to-me long tube on. The drivers side is a PITA because the AC line and steering shaft is in the way. The passenger's side will come tomorrow. That's the easy side, only issue is an A/C line (yeah, the AC lines go around the engine bay...) and fuel lines. I'll be taking my mom's car to work in the morning.
Unfortunately that's all for me. I'm bushed.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Played Doom3 for the first time today. Did fair for a beginner. I actually found the missing scientist and was about to take him back to headquarters. I made the mistake of turning my back on him. When I looked back at him he had turned into a demon and the stinky stuff hit the fan! I gave a good accounting of myself but he mopped the floor with me then punched my ticket. Next time I'm going in prepared and fully loaded. God, Give all and Give keys. Ain't cheat codes great?I looked at the old O.K. Streamline passenger cars and decided I'll have to look at them some more after I've gone through the parts that came with them. I estimate they're at least forty years old, maybe as old as sixty years and are going to need some TLC to get them into shape.There should be two Athearn chassis coming in Tuesday. Then I'll be able to get to work on the metal Varney F3A dummy and turn it into a power unit.That's all for today. See y'all tomorrow.

Hey there everyone!RailFest 2013 took place today at Steamtown today, and although Steamtown had no operating steam engines of it's own this year, they did bring in #425, so everyone was still happy. #26 is coming very close to entering service there, and #3713 has come a long way. Stopped at a Italian Food Festival (could never get the name right, so I won't try ), and filled up on some really good food!There was also an O gauge layout there. When I get the chance and figure out how to transfer photos from my phone to my desktop, I will post them.

Evenin' folks!
Janie, just a decaf for me tonight.
Kept a strict diet (like I'm supposed to anyway) and took my sugar reading an extra time today. Right before supper it was 117 and 2 hours after I ate it was 130... Much better! Think I know what the problem was! Not being good. Too many good things to eat too much of I guess. Will behave myself.
Got the lawn finished and did some serious weeding out in the garden. Brought in another zucchini and some onions when I came back in the house. Finished painting the little Packard truck for the scene I have been doing (SLOWly). Just have to give it a coat of dullcoat and then a bit of weathering powders and put it in place. Spent this evening looking at some of the photos from the reunion. Next Friday the group of us putting the souvenir booklet will start making some decisions on what to use and exactly what we want to do with it.
Tomorrow I will w*rking out at the museum as a docent.
Prayers for all in need!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
JeremyB Burlington Northern #24 Jeremy, my dad picked it up. the game looks pretty good, it seems they also fixed the franchise mode so you can play all 32 teams instead of just being stuck with one. Thanks Gary, I'm thinking about picking it up, I usually have it by now but am still on the fence. Each year I buy only a handful of games ( Madden,NHL,MLB the Show and F1 and the latest call of duty ) Last year I skipped madden so I might get it this year and skip NHL. Most of the games could basically be released every other year as games are usually just a roster update and maybe a "new" feature. Not much going on here tonight, just checking out the weather to see If I can get a bike ride in tomorrow morning before the rain is supposed to show. After that I will clean my bike and the house and think about going to pick up Madden 25 before heading to my parents house for a BBQ. Will also take the football to toss around. See you guys tomorrow.
