Evening Gang:
Well you guys and gal have been a talkative bunch today. It won't be long untill we'll have to move the diner down the track again. In fact I'm suprissed that Bergie hasn't suggest that already.
One of our kittens is missing tonight. It's a black with white paws and some white on it's nose. we have four kittens that we take inside every night. In the morning they have escaped the box and will wake us up with there rough housing outside the bedroom door. I saw it this afternoon when I was in the shop but it didn't come up for dinner. I checked the shop but not there. I hope that it shows up in the morning. I got to stop getting attached to little ones.
Haven't run the new locomotives yet. I need some really bad weather to keep me inside and cleaning off the layout. It made it to 80f today. Tomorrow the high is supposed to be around 45f.
Well it's late and since I've been up since 4am I should get to bed before I fall asleep at the keyboard.
Good Night All
Good evening again---I'll have a couple of those chiledogs with a large glass of root beer please
Yesterday was my day for TIMEOUTITUS--Where did this come from? I thought there was something up with my compooter---Wherever it came from we should all tell it to go back in its box--- or get on to a collective
Anyhooooo---I'm attempting to put some pix back up to see how the weathering looks this time---I put it under VERY BRIGHT LIGHT this time and I didn't see any Streaks----mind I wear bifocals and tend towards floaters----this should be interesting---

Anyway, just so all of you may know, As an avid Book reader I've been reading The Zane Grey series and just finish his book called The U.P. Trail and it was about the building of the Union Pacific Railroad being built/ Loved that book
So guess where Im leaning on the Model Train layout
Thanks

jeffrey-wimberly I am really getting to the point that I absolutely HATE that timeout message!

Hallelujah, I thought that the timeout message was because the software didn't like my Mac. I'm glad I'm not the only one having that problem.

Robby P. I was wrong as well. I thought the Falcons had the game. Well right now I am pulling for the Colts. If the Colts win, and hopefully the Dolphins win tomorrow. The Steelers will play the Dolphins. I rather see them play the Dolphins, rather than the Colts. They already lost to them (Colts) once this year.

I'm pulling for the chargers, b/c A) I like them better, and B) my sister is such a bad sport.

I will just have a sweet tea, and just relax for now.
Anyways.........Got a quick question. How good are those "Hustler" switchers? I was going for something simple, and not alot of money right now. I have seen them on eBay, and I believe Wolfgang has something similar his layout. Just wondering if they are any good.

I’ve gotta hankerin for some peach pie and a tall glass of milk please.
to the diner Buggy. They have some great cooks here, order whatever you want. I’ll give Jims card a break
Laid some roadbed today though not much. I’m trying to get at least a loop completed so I can run a train around the world of Toddavania (of which I’m king) I really need to seriously think about a name.
Boy those chili dogs smell great, Nah better not, after the fried cabbage and beans I had for supper last night….
Well gotta help the little wiffy carry Christmas decorations downstairs

refill, please & thanks. (I know it's late...don't care)
Falcons didn't deserve to win that game tonight. That being said, the Cardinals hardly looked like a Super Bowl team, either. At least one of my 3 teams won that game. Third team would have been the SeaHawks, having lived in that state, too. Oh well.
***Sawyer, that's a great idea for a T shirt.
***BC, Congrats on your third RS2, neat locos. Sold mine long ago to make room for more steam. Kinda miss some of the diesels, but am content with the current steam roster. Always room for more though.

Evenin' gang!
The NMRA Meeting went very well today and it looks like we are off to a good start on this year and it looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me to make sure all the planned events happen (and happen to be great events!). It was also fun to see the layout of that gentleman who hosted the meeting (he was superintendent of the division 2 terms ago).
Tom back when I used to sing a lot of weddings there were several churches that wouldn't let and secular music be used during the service itself (I used to like those churches as I felt the same way), but I have never heard of restrictions like you have been put under. BTW some of the churches that specified sacred only music would still allow that particular pop song from Wagner's Lohengrin. I made it very clear that I didn't play that when I was a (more or mostly less) organist..... Hope the Mozart is spectacular! Wish I could be there and sing it with you folks!
Have a great evening!

blownout cylinder Sawyer; I thought 'Vick' was out---He still can play? The Cards/Falcons match would be interesting----
Sawyer; I thought 'Vick' was out---He still can play? The Cards/Falcons match would be interesting----
Yeah, he can still come back, if the commish will reinstate him.
Well, looks like I was wrong, the Cardinals won.
buggy, yes, the Packers sure do man-handle teams, lol.
Rob, yeah, Mike Vick is a PITA, wish Flaocns fans would wise up and let him go. What I'd love to do is get a vick jersey, put "con' in front of "Vick", then put "t" behind, lol.
Well, the cardinals are up by 2 scores.
Hung out at my friend's house today, he goes to Camden military academy, but he'll be going to my high school next year.
Good evening peoples---The furry one has a new toy---which should keep him from trying to take a run at my boxcars I picked up and what my BIL did for me---order a new ATLAS RS2!! I now have enough for a 3 loco lashup of the same types---heeheehee
I seem so far not have had the time out ---YET(tempting fate here---) but when I do I'll just turn the air a deep Blue colour----So There HHHRRUUUUMPH

Oh no. The hand cuffs typically come between the party and the county jail.

Not sure what the deal is with the forum's software tonight, but I'm having trouble with setting the color of text - sometimes it'll take the color I set, and other times I have to go back and re-edit it, setting the color again, before the post will show the color (first time on some attempts to set the color wind up with just black...).

JimRCGMOJeff, is that four chili dogs, or just two very long chili dogs? I'm glad to see your appetite is still alive and well...
Afternoon, Janie - I'll have a root beer float, cheesey fries, and - oh, those chili dogs look very tempting - a couple of chili dogs, please. Thanks! Well, looks like I have the dinner tab, eh? Okay, Janie, start the total for me...
Robby P.Jim I'm not sure. Heres another shot I took a few months ago.

BridgeTom, I guess that priest's mother got scared by a classical musician when she was carrying him. And ain't it great to be appreciated by your two furry friends there (even if it is every mealtime)?
Sue, Mark, or any of our other Great Northwestern Diners - you would have loved our weather in Cape G. today: drizzly, grey and high in the low 60's (F). Just like a lot of your weather up there, eh? The temp's supposed to slip a bit (into the 50's F) tomorrow, and then drop off to 25 F Monday night. A little like a cooler version of Paul's weather.
Today I did a little fiddling around with the DPM modular PDF images, and came up with this idea for one background warehouse or factory:
I'm thinking of doing it in red brick, with some cracks in a couple of windows, and a nice long loading dock across most of the track side of the building. I may have to do some tinkering around when I pull out the DPM modular pieces and start assembling this. Oh, the two ends (between the outermost reddish pilasters) are the sides (which will be at right angles to the back edge). Still debating how to put the signage on it.
I knew something was up today when I left my apartment to come to the Diner. At the end of my block, I see five or six police cars, all pulled up to the curb with lights on, on the two streets along side of the corner apartment building. After getting into my car and I'm (very carefully) driving by (not wanting to be mistaken for whoever else they are looking for), I only saw one officer (outside the downhill side of that building - it's on the street corner), talking with one woman. Didn't see the other 5-6 or more officers, so I guess they were inside, cuffing some people maybe. Suppose I'll see about it on the evening news tonight. Definitely time to start saving up for new rent deposit - sheesh! I'd guess the neighborhood has gone downhill more than I realized since I moved in some years ago.
Welcome to the DIner, Buggyman! Your GEO train layout for the grandkids sounds neat - and if you want something fairly easy on the eyes, Paul - over in Texas - models ones big enough to ride on. (Yee haw!) Of course, you need a bit more room for that kind of layout, but hey!... And hey, don't worry about having your team embarass you - we've all had that experience at one time or another, I'm sure.
Got my Walthers flyer yesterday and looked through it last night and some today. Not sure who it was that said the vehicles were half off, but that must just be on the N-visible scale ones. The HO prices are pretty good though...
I'll be settling down to w**k on these two chili dogs now.
Hope everyone gets some MRR'ing (tinkering, reading or building) in today. Any word from Inch about Jerry? Prayers for him and for all those in need of healing and comfort.
Blessings,
in a Santa Fe mug and a couple of those Chili Dogs like Jeffrey is eating, please & thanks.
***Sawyer, I'm pulling for the Falcons, but having grown up in AZ, I wouldn't be upset about it if the Cardinals won. That being said, I would prefer a Falcons vicotry, because I want to see them go all the way "Without Vick", just to show him he is not needed anymore.
Have had trains on the brain all day. Wife mailed in that big Walthers order. (I snuck in a couple N items: International Harvester Flatbeds and the small Triple Fuel Tanks)
Well, need to get back to the easel here. Have a good day all.
Well our Coach made the excuses that you can't rely on last year's team for this year's performance!
Uh HUH?
If that's the case then why did they (locally) act like they were Championship caliber when they were promoting ticket sales during the past summer
Anyway.. I'm glad you guys got your team back. Between the Packers and the Steelers and The Titans, they are the physical teams.
My stereotyped mental image of people living in cold country is that they crank up their house thermostats to 80 degrees and don't venture outside unless they're packaged in a survival suit.
A friend of a friend is visiting central California from Calgary. She has frequently complained of the cold here in central California where the lows have been in the mid-thirties with the highs in the 50s. (I find this weather to be wonderful as long as the wind don't blow and the sun shines.) Asked how cold it was when she left Calgary, she said minus 20 degrees Celsius. Isn't that about minus 10 Fahrenheit!? I justed checked the current temperature there, and it is minus four Fahrenheit now.
Mark, happy as a clam with a current indoor temperature of 64.
Buggyman Hey Packer, I'm one of them guys who are running around with a Brown Bag over my head because (whispering) I'm one of the Jaguars fans!OH how embaressing Buggy

OH how embaressing
hey, no sweat, I'm a Packers fan. IDK what was up with our D this year, they just caught November Met-ietiss is all, I guess (meaning they choked in the 4th just like the Mets keep choking in November.
Good evening guys and gals.
Jeff, those dogs look gooooooooooood!!! That made me hungry again.
Father in-law just installed a 5ft heater in the bedroom. That will help out alot. Its suppose to be cold in the next few days.
I will say the Colts over the Bolts. As long as the Steelers, can do something next week. Falcons over the Cards. The Cards just not playing good at all.
Well I better go help the wife put the closet back together. The closet is right above the power box in the basement. That was a quick way to get heat to the bedroom. A straight shot.
I am sure shes wondering where I am.
Good morning. At least for 37 minutes. We got a late start. Larry didn't get in until 3:30, so I tried to be quiet. I put together a vegetable beef soup that I plan to make dumplings in for a late lunch when we get back in from moving wood into the woodshed from our pile in the lower field.
We got another dusting of snow yesterday and today. When will it end.
Later,
Sue
Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Wat up guys. I rolled outta bed at 10:48 this morning, lol.
Well, it's wild card saturday. I got:
Chargers over Colts (if LT and Antonio Gates are out though, then it's up to San Diego's D and Philip Rivers and his WR)
I love that Arizona made it to the playoffs, but Matt Ryan and Michael Turner are just too much. Falcons over Cardinals.
Well, we'll see if I'm right, my sister is a huge colts fan, but I like San Diego more, and I think that Indy's D will still be split up when San Diego passes, and of course, darin sproles can crack off a big run now and then.
Hey Hey!,, found the Diner!
Thanks Luke

Wish you Yankees would stop posting your low temps. Gives me the shivers and shakes. Here in mid Fla. today will be a nice 79 to 81 with a low near 50.
