Wow, we seem to get kicked out or move a lot...
PC: Thanks for the photobucket link. Take a look at the signature.
I also got a new avatar. It's football season, time for a little Jason Witten, my favorite player, and who I try to be like on the field. No one has knocked my helmet off though... If you've heard of the Cowboy injuries, apparently Romo actually might play this sunday. Nobody knows...
Well I've got a dance to get to. See y'all at 10.
Mark
Hoople; Good to see ya, especially as I need a hand with my Football pool ever since I got home from sea I have been taking a real a kicking! Lisa was picking my choices before and was getting 100%

Evening Gang: Well we had a good time tonight. We went to our favorite German resturant and had a ball. If any of you are in Ft Worth go to the Eldelweisse and Tell Bernd that I sent you. He is one fine fellow and puts out very good food and a fine show.
I do use word when I have a bunch of things to say or many replys. Most of the time I just make it quick and use the reply. The problem seems to have been fixed. There is now a line down the right side of the reply box and the line is doing what it should do.
Fergie the diner looks good. So who is that in there?
Thank you to all for the annervesery wishes. I really hit the jack pot with Mary Ann. I must say that when I saw her coming down the isle I was really sure that I had the ONE. Tomorrow we're going to the Gaylord Texan Resort for the night. Mr Clark gave us a gift card this spring for doing the train show. It's a swank place that we would not go to otherwise. I'll see you all Sunday if I don't get to a puter tomorrow.
Good Night All
Whoa, forum overhaul AND ETD six.
I've been so busy applying for high schools lately. I don't think I've had a good nights sleep in about three weeks. But nonetheless, its good to be back.
Today I turned 14. While my family didn't seem to notice (though we had celebrated a few weeks earlier the same time as my grandfather aunt and sister) my friends did. Its good to be closer to driving...
Go Bucs, Bulls, Gators, and Rays BEAT BOSTON!
Tomorrow my parents and I will go to see the USF Bulls play Syracuse. My mom's boss had box seats but he gave the tickets to us.
Oh no, You don;t want advice from me. Try Sawyer. He actually plays. From where I come from, Football+Pool=Senior guys embarrassing themselves as they sink like rocks. I know nothing of the sport.
Diner lookem' good.
Happy Anniversary Paul.
Jim: Nope, I don;t have the link. I nwever anticipated it going away...
-Morgan
Good evening...
Jerry .... tell us more about your U-Boat project.
Sawyer ... I hope your cramps go away soon and your does well next game.
JP ..Good to see you in the diner.
Lee ... The stools was a neat idea for a gift.
Fergie ... I like that diner.
Paul .. Happy Anniversary to you and May Ann!
Mark ... I hope the dance was enjoyable.
Jim CG ... Any progress at the club layout?
Duke ... who woke you up?
Morgan .... I hope there are some good deals for you at the train show.
C&O Terry .... Praying for your health.
PPC .... You really do like stirring things up, don't you?
Sad news from here. Our good friend at church still has cancer after all that surgery and chemo.
More sad news. A real tragedy. At a home in the rural lower corner of our county near Fort Campbell Army Post, four family members were stabbed and their house set on fire. One survived. Dead are a 5 year old boy and two teen age girls. Senseless.
Good Night.

Pie? Did you say.....PIE!
Hoople, no problem! Glad you found something you liked!
Gerry, it keeps life interesting!
Back from the dance, which was horrible. I assume there will be a good one soon though.
Fergie: Football Pool? Bit confused there... Explain and maybe I can help.
RRnut: Happy 14th birthday. I turned 14 two months ago myself. Hope you enjoy it.

Good morning.It's 53 and clear. High today should be in the upper 70's and it will be partly cloudy.Did a little work yesterday with changing out some of the structure lighting. Also did some work on a pedestrian bridge that crosses over the tracks. It's a Model Power copy of a Faller kit and doesn't have the fine detail of the of the more expensive European manufacturer. On the other hand it will give my people a safe way to cross the tracks. It's not handi-cap friendly though. Had a slight interruption yesterday when the power went out. Turned out that a tree behind my parents property fell over on the lines. The power was out about 45 minutes.Today's Weather for:Sundown, LA 71446-6114 10/18/2008Wind Chill: 52°FHumidity: 81%Dew Point: 47°FSo Far TodayHigh: 56°FLow: 53°FRain: 0.00"Rain Rate: 0.00"/hGust: 5mph NNEToday High: 78 Mostly sunny.

Good Morning All
Flo! A Saturday Morning Special please!
Mark: the pool works like this: You pick a winner and a loser for each week, Can't pick a team second time regardless if you chose them to win or lose last time so once you've used a team that's it! You're allowed one "by" for lose and win and you get two points for every right pick. And here is my choices up to last week. By the way it all went down hill after I came home from sea and started to do the picks myself. Should'a let Lisa continue but she said it was "My Pool" and I would have to work for it!!!
ONE Eagles Rams
TWO Green Bay Detroit
THREE 49’s Bengals
FOUR Broncos Chiefs
FIVE Cowboys Dolphins
SIX Redskins Rams
Anyway Peter King on the S.I. / CNN site should be put on waivers as he's kill'n me here!
RT: Glad ya made it in! Yes I was talking to Teffy about two weeks ago and I hope to get a hold of him today or tomorrow. He survived the Hurricane yet again but did lose some shingles in the process.
Lee: Thanks and yes it's the Walthers kit, which went together nicley. The figures probably cost me more than the kit!
Paul: Who's all in there there... Everyone! Though I can't find a Chandelier small enough... YET! Lighting will be with LED's and Clear plastic tubes (Left over sprues (sic) from windows) as i want to give it the florescent bulb look and keep it small. I would say it's only half complete. So much ta do so little time! BTW
Garry & Morgan: Thank you for the Kudos! as with everything it's a work in progress! Garry Sorry to here about your friend and her Cancer ordeal. Hopefully with additional treatment and support she will overcome this dreadful disease. As to the other business... Unfortunately it's everywhere and no one is immune from it!

Greetings everyoneIt's a beautiful sunny Fall morning here in the mid 'Lantic region, which for me means honey dues and no model railroading. Later I'll be taking my 10yr-old to a soccer game and while that's going on, I'll try contacting a group of my fellow Alabama railfan friends from the coffee shop across the street. They're known as the Alabama Rail Gang [ARG], and they're having a meet in front of the Irondale Cafe [where the movie Fried Green Tomatoes was filmed]. I'll be calling one of them from my cell phone and he'll put his phone on "speaker" mode, so it'll be like a conference call between me and all the 'Bama guys. Gotta love this 21st-century technology! Zoe, I'll have a vegetarian omelette with extra tomatoes and green peppers. [hey Cape Jim - at what website do you find all those pics of the food you're ordering?]
jeffrey-wimberlyKen: Nice to see that you made the leap to Digitrax as well. I hooked my Digitrax Zephyr up on the 6th and it's been a fascinating two weeks so far.
bjdukertKen Good to see you on this side of the street,if you know what I mean? Smile
-Ken in Maryland (B&O modeler, former CSX modeler)
Hmmm - looks like breakfast is on me this morning. Zoe, here's my credit card - eat up, guys n' gals!
CSX_road_slug Fergie, remember how you and TEFFY used to tease me about my reluctance to jump into DCC? Well, those days are over: I’ve now got my Digitrax Super Chief and LocoNet fully installed on the layout, and decoders in 21 of my 50 locos. Yeeee-Haw! Of course now I’m being pressured by Fugate & Company to buy a dedicated trainroom ‘puter with a PR3 adaptor, and install DecoderPro on it. But first I’ve gotta buy a dozen signals…and with a daughter in college, my train budget has shrunk quite a bit!
Wow, What can I say! Congratz to say the least. DCC As to the Train Room Computer small steps small steps. I maybe looking down the road at that when we replace our present Computer, which is presently about 7 years old. Whether or not it will have the right stuff to drive signals and CTC functions is something I will have to look at. Then again a Laptop might also be a possibility. Yes Son number one is looking at University for next year. I'm hoping he can keep his average going so he will be eligible for scholarships. The kid is a heck of a lot smarter than his old man was for sure! And Brass aquisitions have all but ceased on the MESS due to lack of fiscal restraint during our trip to Toronto last week
PS good to see ya again Ken
Since Ken's buying I'll have the biscuits and gravy.
I'll second that. I love me some biscuits and gravy!!!! Now with me having a southern accent, people up here just love when I say biscuits. I don't know why. Dang Yankees
I am going to start on some tree making today, and maybe work on my scrap yard some more. Ok guys, I will need some tips or if you have the topics saved. I would love to see them.
1. I think Aggro had a way to make some great trees.
2. A good cheap way for a fence (chain link). I was thinking with the bridal vail. My wife works at a craft store and I could use here discount,
I can do the tree trunks, but I bought some filter and I don't wanna ruin it.
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Good Morning All...Its sunny and cool here this morning....I'll have the Biscuits and gravey too and coffee please..Thank You....and put that on Ken's tab...Not much going on here I got the Uboat out yesterday I thought it was an old Atlas unit but it was Bachman and after putting it on the track I remebered why I put it away! I messed with for awhile and put it back up..Some of the old Bman and Model Power units are pretty hard to get to run right....Casey football team won again last nite 7-0 now and ranked # 1 in the State 2-a....You all have a great one...Jerry
Heartland Division CB&Q Sawyer ... I hope your cramps go away soon and your does well next game.
They ended during the game. My muscles still hurt from it because they were so severe. Of course, i'm feeling much better. Thank you for the kind words though.

Ahh, lunchtime! I'll have the Dagwood special.
Howdy all!
Hey Zoe, is the wheelbarrow still out back? I think we're going to need it to get Jeff outta here!
Afternoon all!
I think a meatball sub sounds good.
Fergie: Oh that's easy. Pick the Cowboys, Giants, or Redskins every week... Unless you have to pick differently each time...
Inch: That is very cool. I'd love to see him play in person sometime.
Doing some more work on my coaling station today. I made these embossed imprints of the roof panels in aluminum foil. They've been painted on both sides with rusty metal primer and will be cut up and glued into position on rotted looking rafters so it looks like a wind-torn rusted steel roof.
Um........... I will start with a salad, and bring on the STEAKS!!!
Heres what I've been doing today with the help of the wife. I was doing trees, while she was doing the chain-link fence. I have NEVER done trees in my life, but I am very happy with them. She did real good to on the fence. She had to do it a couple of times but it looks good. You should haave seen her boss's face when we went to get them vail. My wife said, "its for a chan-link fence." Boy, was she lost.
Well my salad is here, gotta eat!!
Robby Nice modeling...Trees look great and Your Wife's fence is right on too!!...I like the Gon on the siding tell us how you beat it up?..Look forward to seeing more of your work...Jerry
Thanks Jerry. The gon was done with our old friend "the soldering iron." I use it to dent up the top, and go behind that with some sand papar. Kinda to smooth it out. I took the iron next and dented up the sides as well. Its not my best work, but it serves a purpose I guess.
