Well, I did manage to get out for a short ride today to get some pics of my bike. I spent Friday night and Saturday morning working on it.
Here's the before pic.........
And here's the after (sorry about the quality, the light was bad)............
I like the new bags and the emblems are awesome! Zambini Bros. did an excellent job on them!
Evenin' Folks!
Just got home from the Smith. Nice concert, very easy to handle the sound with everything working the way it was supposed to...... Got there and the stage manager said, "Hey Ray, if you want, you can use our new board instead of yours........." Turned out great! Smooth response and nice clean sound. One less thing I had to set up as I have been using the house sound for the last several years substituting my board for the little one they have. They have a large JBL Pro speaker system all tuned for the house, so I just set up mics, monitors, and plug in.
Now I have the rest of tonight and all day tomorrow to work on the layout!!!!! YES!
Oh "Hippo Birdie" Colby!!! 16 huh? That was the age where I new everything........ Sure wish I still did!
What?!? Top of the page twice in one day? Man this will finish off my credit card!!!! Well have at it folks! I'm comfortably retired.

Well I did it, posted my first pictures in WPF. Learned the lighting in the room isn’t good for pictures and like I said needs lots of work. But small steps. Actually looks better in pictures believe it or not LOL.
Oh and Lee I re-read my comment to you about your train show purchases. It does NOT read the way I meant it. As I learn to communicate in a forum I learned that humorous sarcasm does not come across in type the way it does in person. What I meant and should have just said was "sounds like you got some great buys". I hope you didn’t take it just the opposite. Please accept my apology if you did.

I just love the forecast; first thing tomorrow morn we are supposed to be at 9 C then by the afternoon at -6C with rain finished by the morning... lots of puddles/ponds followed by ice--and skating...
I'll have some HHOOOOTTT chile(sp?) with a cup of dk roast coffee please.
As the mill project gets a little more together I'll be able to post the process---I'm still trying to figure surfaces out---
Happy Birthday Colby!!......Jerry

Good day all. Glass of water please, and a Hot turkey sandwich, mashed taters ,green beans and don’t skimp on the gravy . Thaaaank you!
Yep I do believe I’ll get to work on the old empire today. Maybe after the snowblower gets started to see if it runs. Sounds like ditto your weather Phillip and inch, ‘cept nasty supposed to start after midnight with rain starting it off. Might turn to ice. Maybe better get the generator going too. Last few times we lost power.

Terry- hope your roofers aren’t like some around here or you’ll be wearing a blue tarp for about a week.
Inch- Yes it would and yes it would! In fact Castle_ is my favorite of the two. I swear they have everything in that place if you just have the time to find it. Nice people too.
Sawyer- Aah, I see. I thought it was school ball. Well remember there’s always next time.
Lee- Hey look at it this way admission was only 10% of all that stuff…..or…..you spent 10 times admission.
Think I’ll get moving now
See Ya’ll
COLBY!
Just got back from the train show at Lake Catholic High School in Mentor, OH and I would recommend it in the future, however this was the first show held at this location and there was room for improvement. The show was mostly filled with Lionel and large scale train stuff with only 5 HO-Scale vendors (and only one had decent pricing). I think once the word gets out and more vendors move into the show it will fall in the top 3 shows for the area.
What I walked away with:
Walthers Jordan spreader (new), 37 pairs of Kadee couplers (new), Michigan Central 50’ Express Reefer, 8 #6 left turbouts (used), and 3 #4 right turnouts (used).
$6 admision.
Spent: $60.00
Happy Birthday, Colby.
Good morning, All.
We had a dusting of snow last night. I think that we were on the south end of it, so we probably didn't get as much as Mark.
Philip, Do you have Mars Attacks?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLBY!!!! taking a cue from sawyer here...
These are some pix of the real purina mill in woodstock ON;
I may have finally(?) figured this thing out...grumble,gripe...
TMarsh Sawyer- sorry you lost sounds like the game might have gotten a little rough at times. Why the age difference?
Sawyer- sorry you lost sounds like the game might have gotten a little rough at times. Why the age difference?
Yeah, it did, lol. Like I said, hit the floor a few times in the 1st period. would have gottens ewriously ticked off if my dad (our coach) hadn't pulled me several times for about a minute to calm down. The age difference is because the church I play divided its two teams into the older guys and younger guys in the age group, our team is the younger team, and I guess the other church did the same thing, and the age group I play in goes to 16.
EDIT(!): (This is what I get for not reading the thread through before replying to a post.)

Currently 33°F outside here in the Finger Lakes with a high around 40°F. I would expect that the roof will be it's earth brown color again instead of the current white by this evening....

Hope everyone has a great day!

Mornin' all!
Well, it's supposd to be near 50 degrees today, and no rain this afternoon. Looks like another riding day on the old bike. Been doing some work to it this weekend, mostly cosmetic. Put on some new saddle bags, a new tool bag, a small tail bag, and some really cool emblems that I got from Zambini Brothers. Those guys do incredible work! Tomorrow the ugly stuff starts though. First rain, then sleet, then snow. Looks like a great day to drive something with 4 wheels!
Well, I'd best be off.
Prayers for those in need.......yeah, thats pretty much everyone!
Mornin all, haven't been round for awhile and was in the mood for an irish coffee.
We're going to get some rain n wind from the big storm that came into the NW. Temps are warm, but are supposed to start dropping tomorrow morning, then sleet n snow thru Tuesday and cold for a spell.
Guess ya'll has heard bout the fun here with our governor. Looks like next week will be interesting. No GARRY I'm not considering a run for the office. I got interested in politics in high school and spend some time in Springfield when congress was in session behind the public scenes. So I got a first hand look at how things were done there and decided politics wasn't for me. While I'm a purrty good bull spreader, I'm not that good a liar.

That little town in IL wouldn't happen to be around Springfield would it and your LHS,, Castle.
ROB,
I think your wife may find out about the old saying, "so goes the best laid plans of mice n men", when it get to the building her layout from the sound of her dreams and all she's wanting. On the chicken house, you might find a small warehouse [about a 30'x100'] that looks like a pole barn to use for it.
JERRY,, met another N-scaler from round here [down by Melrose]. I've known him for awhile, but didn't know he was into trains.
I best get moving, the grand daughters are hollering for me. Thoughts for all those in need and hope ya'll has a gooden

Hey everybody!!!!!!!
Long time no see, how's things here in the diner? It's been a very busy few weeks for the family, but things are sure to slow down after the holidays, I see we have some new members in here, I like to see this place get full, Hey Zoe I'll take a large hot choclate please, it's going to be COLD here the next few days, with a chance of heavy snow (in the metro area of Portland!!)highs no more than 20 to 25 the low during the week will be around the teens, on Tuesday will be a record 12 degrees!!!! that's Alaska cold!!!!!!! at lease for us it is. Sometimes the East wind howls out of the Columbia River Gorge during a winter storm here, and it can get crazy,you can stand a good chance of losing your power and that can be bad news,We got our pipes all wrapped up, our van and car are winterized, the windows are covered, we have PLENTY of wood for our wood stove, I will give you updates on this strom,
The work on the new train room will start in Feburary, for you that don't know the Ceo of our MRR (my wife) said why don't you just take the garage and turn it into a bigger trainroom? I thought I was going to faint, you see the layout now is in the basement and 1. it's cold and damp 2.it get's kind of a mildew smell espcially during the rainy time of the year, so we talked some more about it, and the plans were off the ground, I entred this " Get your garage remodeled for free contest" well I didn't win which is just as well because when we start the project it will be more appreachated, well that's all I have to say now, it's great to see y'all again, I will be back from time to time to give updates, Take care and please be safe this Holiday season, Seasons Greetings to you and yours,
Sincerely
Trainsrme1
PS I'll slip in more often that that I miss ya guys
Rob. she could scenic a hill into one. We have one not to far from here that I might be able to get some photos of...the building is virtually part of a 'hill'(manmade for the purpose) used to incubate chicks...
A tall Lemon water, thanks.
***Jeffrey, thanks for the parking meter link!
As for Chicken houses, she wants the long type that hold countless chickens like these:
???
I'm pretty sure I already gave her a chicken coop or two. Will be interesting to see what all we have when there is room to set everything out in. Shouldn't be too much longer...a couple weeks maybe?
Rob
Garry, when it’s all said and done I’ll post pictures of the Walthers brick street kit. I have the bricks air brushed with a 60/40 mix of Polly scale mineral red FA14350/Soo red F414212. If I had to do it again I would buy sheets of styrene brick and cut to size because the kit is 2.75” x 3.5” tiles and those tiles are a pain to get to mate without having a small gap.
Jeff, I replied.
Thanks again for all the Birthday Wishes.
