Well, I'm not sure if I'll be able to check in again before do the big switcharoo, so I'll see you all on the other side!
Jeffrey & Lee fighting over who pays while Philip is getting beamed up by aliens. Not a dull moment around here tonight.
The little die-cast wagon arrived and although the wagon might be just big enough for HO, the horse pulling it is either a pony or needs to be swapped out with one of the wife's regular HO stock. Definitely a gypsy style wagon.
Finished spreading manure, grass seed, and a light layer of bermuda hay over that. Now all we need is a little rain and the grass should take off.
Our farrier had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever recently and still had numerous blotches on his skin to show for it. Sounds like a miserable thing to get. One tick bite on a recent hunting trip is all it took. Only horse that needed work was Tinytoons.
While I'm here, how about a medium pizza, please & thank you. Just bring the whole thing to my corner table with a large pitchure of water. Rob
Hello everybody ...
JimCG ... Thanks for the well wishes. Actually we head to Nashville tomorrow afternoon, and my appointments are on Thursday.

Sawyer... I'm looking forward to returning to the diner in a couple of days and reading about your really big win with lots of tackles from you.
Rob ... Enjoy that lemon water.
Everyone else ........... see you!
Evening, Chloe - are Lee and Jeff done arm-rasslin' for the tab yet? I saw only a few crumbs on the table where Rob's pizza used to be. Me, I'll have a hot fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream on top, whoever wins. Thanks!

Hear, hear, Garry - I'll second that hope for Sawyer and team to do some major trouncing on their opponents! Garry, I'll keep ya in my Thursday also.
Getting some rain (only a little) tonight, with some possibly also tomorrow. Low in the 60's (F) tonight.
I'll get to finishing off my dessert now, and then head for home. Got to get my beauty rest, right? See everyone in the morning (wherever we are at that time). Prayers for everyone, and for a safe move whenever Bergie comes and gives our virtual twins the go-ahead to move.
Blessings,

Good Morning from Tipton IN !

Mornin, damp n foggy start today, an irish coffee sounds good Zoe
Mostly cloudy skies with scattered rain will be around all day today with the more steady rain showers moving in this afternoon and evening. Temperatures will stay mild today topping out in the mid to upper 70's. Rain will taper off and move out tonight bringing in more fall-like temperatures for Thursday and the upcoming weekend. Thursday will be partly cloudy and cooler with an afternoon daytime high near 65° with light north winds.
GARRY, good luck with the doc appointments and have a safe trip.
TERRY,, thanks for the link, that was some mighty fine modeling and a funny story.
JIM,, we get wildlife in the yard all the time, deer mostly and the turkeys show up every so often. That was the first groundhog I seen around here for some years. Not many survived the fencerows coming out or the hunting. There was a state bounty on them years ago and they're not bad eating either.
Been busy trying to keep up with the leaves, so I don't get to far behind, so far so good. As long as we don't get the storms n wind and bring them down all at once I'll be ok.

Greetings All!
Finally I got through! Had to log out then in again. Overall the format looks nice and professional.
So I'm buying!
Just got back from a whirl wind trip in Ontario Saw some of it by train (VIA Cattel Car). Hit a couple of LHS's and got a lot of wonderful neat stuff.
Der: Are you going to Truro?
Later All

Oh looks like the quick renovation has been done! MR Forum and site upgrade is slick too!
I'll have a hot Lapsang Souchong tea and jesst sit on over here in the side booth for a bit!

Let's see, I'll have the steak dinner.
Afternoon, Zoe - since Fergie's buying (and that's not a common deal!), I'll have a ham 'n' cheese sandwich
and a Dr. Pepper, please. Thanks!
You're right, Fergie, it helps to log out and then back in (maybe just because I hadn't logged out the last time I was in the Diner). The new format looks nice, though a bit darker or more contrasty (not sure which just yet).
I'll be in the window booth if anyone else joins us.
After traversing a gorge and steaming through a seemingly endless tunnel, I arrived here. Is this the right time & place or am I in the TwilightZone again?
OK, I'll have the usual Coffee in a Union Pacific mug, please & thank you. (Hey, what happened to the font & color choices?)
Construction continues. Not much else to report on. Hope everyone finds their way back to the Diner.
I went shopping today for Christmas lights. Specifically for clear mini lights in strings of 20 lights each. I snagged 4 boxes at $1.25 a box. The math on these works out to 6 volts per bulb, making them perfect for replacing the Model Power lights in my structures. Two bulbs in series on an 11 volt connection. As I see it I have enough to do all my structures with ease.
Afternoon Gang: Well after trudging through the jungle I guess I finally found the place. I had to log out and log back in to get to post b am.
Well this really stinks. My post went plumb off the message block and got lost. I'll come back later and try again.
CederstrandOK, I'll have the usual Coffee in a Union Pacific mug, please & thank you. (Hey, what happened to the font & color choices?)
Rob, I noticed the color choices, plus the alignment choices don't appear. I've already sent a PM to Bergie to find out if they're still available or just toast. The text color would be one thing I'd miss most, as it was easier for me to find names and see where someone had asked/responded to something. The alignment was good for getting images off the left edge some. I wish the notice about the images being resized was less obvious, but that may be something Bergie and crew are still tweaking.
The pictures seem more contrasty then before, but that might be due to the difference in brightness levels between PC's and Macs. Dunno on that one.
Good to hear, Rob, that things are coming along - I'll be asking our MRR club member your question tonight, and will get an answer back to you after that.
Settling back in my seat with another Dr. Pepper for now,
Hey guys!
Who here likes the new forums? I do
Last night I was railfanning a little bit. It seems I have a new passion for CSX.
Heres some pictures, both taken in Annapolis Junction at the MARC station.
Tjsingle
Hokey Smokes!!!
This place look like the Scale Auto Enthusiast website!
Good evening ( in a vampires voice). I see alot of people are having trouble with the new website, but so far its running good for me.
Train wise. I weathered up a boxcar, and laid some track for the lower part of the layout. Not much today.
But then................................. I let the dogs outside for a few minutes, and the boxer found a baby squirell ( or how ever you spell it). Then another one fell out the tree. So here I have 2 babies crawling all over the place. I called a wildlife place here, and they said to put them in a box and the mom will come and get them. So far, one is gone, and I still hear the other one. If the one isn't gone by tomorrow, we can take it to the place I called and the will take care of it. As long as a snake don't get them.
Afternoon all..I like the new look!........Jerry
Hi TJ
Nice pics! Did some railfanning myself the last few days up in Ontario. Though I have to work on some of the Photo techniques as I find Trains don't give you much time to set up then shoot. Then again the first train pics I ever took was when I was 14 and was learning to use my Mother's Kodak Billows camera
( @ 1918 and 120mm format) Man those trains looked so small in the site until you looked up and realized how close they really were!
As to the new forums I think the Jury is out but as fo me I don't mind them. They seem more proffessional in format and hopefully will give us more options.
A little while ago I did some work on my new Athearn SD40. The reason? a turtle could outrun it at full throttle, somewhat less than 30 smph. This was no surprise to me. This is the third (3rd) Athearn rtr loco in my possession to have a bum motor. I changed it out with one from an old Athearn F7 and the difference is night and day. What had been super slow was now greased lightning. I wasted no time in setting the decoders speed table to the road switcher settings. This cut the top speed in half, to about 80 smph. If this is an indication of things to come for Athearn then I don't want any more of their new motors. I also found that the top of the front truck is deformed thus it won't allow the worm cover to snap back in place. They'd be wise to find out what's going on or they'll be going the way of Tyco.
Hi Chloe, how about a couple of chicken kabobs, please -
and a root beer float to wash it all down with, too, please. Thanks.
TJ, some nice shots (and under not-so-great lighting conditions, so you did very well).
Got an answer back from Bergie, and he's gonna talk with his head techies about the missing stuff in the editor toolbar. So we may yet get centering, text colors and sizes and font selections yet (or not).
Jeff, that's a great idea on the lights - now, I need to make myself a note to catch those lights on sale after Christmas. I'm guessing you trim the wires to separate the lights from the chain, right? Have you done some like that before, and if so, how's the heat on those?
Paul, not sure if it was what you were talking about, but I'm noticing that I'm getting 'ghosts' as I scroll up when entering my post in the text entry box. For me, besides that, it also hides/obscures the toolbar icons (though most of them show back up if I mouse-over where they are supposed to be). Hopefully, Bergie and the alpha geeks will get the bumps in the road smoothed out soon.
Some of you Diners might be interested in this study's results. It found out that using the Internet is good for the brain (Really!):

Of course, as you'll find when you go to the article, it helps some of us more than others...
Rob and any others - you should be able to get a good tonight (around 8 p.m. Central time...)
Well, time for my !
