Philip, you mean you don't ride the bike during blizzards?  How come?  You must be one of those "Fair Weather" Bikers!  

I'll ride if it's 40 degrees or above.  Below that it's just not fun anymore.  At that point, about the only enjoyment you get is in knowing that you survived!

Now, let me just pick up that lunch tab for you all!

Why Thank You Philip!  Flo, I'll have one last Hot Turkey Sandwich, Fries w/gravy,  a tall glass of OJ, and the last of that Pumpkin Pie!  (All the rest of the Turkey is now in the freezer for lunches later...... much later!)  The carcase is being boiled down for the annual Turkey Soup.  It won't be ready until tomorrow though........,..

Been doing all the monthly e-mails that I have to get out for Deacons as Moderator every month (meeting notice, agenda, minutes of the last meeting, and other info).  Still trying to get some end of the year things to fall in place........  Also waiting for a friend who works for the church to let me know when we can check out the repairs to the mic wiring today. 

Have Martin Luther King Committee meeting this evening and hopw to find some time to work in the train room as well.

Philip, you mean you don't ride the bike during blizzards?  How come?  You must be one of those "Fair Weather" Bikers!  

Hope everyone has a great day! 

[gear-jammer]

Good morning,  coffee please.

Philip,  That would be a tough contest in the wintertime.

Man!  What a BUSY MORNING!

That 4 day weekend blew past, and now this morning is almost gone!  Where's the time going?

So check this out.........

Saturday was halfway decent, so I rode my motorcycle up to the local shop to have them look at a couple of things.  While I'm hanging around, some guy who works there comes up and asks me if I'd like to win a $200 gift certificate.  I said sure, what do I have to do?  I'm thinking I'll have to fill out a little card with my email address or something so they can spam me to death, right?  No.........He says, "You register your bike and mileage with us at the beginning of the winter (now remember, I live in Indiana) and then at the end of the winter we see who rode the most miles over the winter and the winner gets the gift certificate."  So I look at him a second or two, and then I asked him, "That's not a contest you really want to win, is it?"  I'm thinkin', if you win that contest, are you really a winner.....REALLY?

 

 

 

Now, let me just pick up that lunch tab for you all!

Good Morning All...We have an inch or so of wet snow and still snowing lightly and 29 here...I'll have coffee and a English muffin please...Thank You...I ruffed in"hill" this morning and cut pad for track cleaning car and glued nails to it so I can mount it under a box car..The one I built years ago in HO worked well but not sure if it will work in N scale...I'll try to get some photos later but memory card is full of Grand baby photos that will go to Wal-Mart to be printed and if I messed them up Sallie would have me sleeping on the front porch tonite...You all have a good one ...Jerry

[Heartland Division CB&Q]

Good morning, everybody.....

Coffee for me. No food. I'm still full from all the eacting over the past few days.

I started work on my upper level of my layout expansion yesterday evening. Not much else to report.

Happy Model Railroading.

[Cederstrand]

in a UNION PACIFIC mug, please & thanks.

***Jim, last time they power co. was here with thte cherry picker, they removed all the branches from that old pine, but left the trunk. I encouraged them to knock down the whole tree, but they wouldn't. You can actually hear the pine beetles (or some insects) chewing away inside it. I don't know what is keeping it standing.

****Paul, around the farm it's the peakocks that seem to sabotage me every few days with "stealth poop" on some implement or gate chain.

***Jerry, share some pics of that hill when you create it. Been thinking the wife's layout would be well suited for a divider, rather than trying to combine a circus/carnival with mountian folk doings.

***RT, that's a hoot. We only have one indoor cat "Millie" she likes to leave her toys on the steps. Doesn't she know if she kills us off there will be nobody to feed her?

Have to run get some more grout for the tilers, as they are running out and can finish today if they get another two bags. Gotta run.

Healing thoughts to those in need.

[JimRCGMO]

Morning, Zoe - I'll have ham and scrambled eggs please, with a glass of Ed's OJ and a cup of the TH. Thanks!

Paul, cleaning off that welder doesn't sound too great, but I'm sure you're glad that is done (and the tarp is a good idea).

Jeff, the trees look good that you planted, and they should keep the winds down around that house (saving it some on the utilities, even in 1:87 scale...). 

RT, we tried to warn you.- I'm sure that your four-legged critters got on and chatted with Spooky, Remington and Spring last night while you were sleeping. Imagine the 'fun' Tom would have if he had cats like Boots.

We're having a little bit of snowflakes this a.m. but it's above freezing (barely - high today MIGHT hit 40 F), so no accumulation. I think tomorrow it'll break the 40's (F). Thank Heaven for little things! Sorry for those of you up the Ohio River valley and along the Lakes today. I saw that some areas got up to 5 inches of the white stuff and are expected to get as much as another 3 inches today, with winds.

Galaxy, hope you get to HD today and can get some done on the layout. Do you have one of those lights for your SAD? I forgot how much they run, but I know one of our admin. people uses one of them.

Looks like Bill T. is burned out on turkey this a.m. (note his smiley), as may be several of us today. But hey - there's open face turkey sandwiches with gravy, turkey hash, turkey sandwich mix, and a few others that escape my memory at the moment...

Think I'll slip into the corner booth and start on breakfast 'til the other Diners get in. 

 

Blessings on your Monday,

Jim in Cape Girardeau

Morning guys.

{snap} Chloe, an spanish omelette por favor!

ANYTHING but turkey or chicken. Had fillet mignon for real last night. Ahhhhhhh......

For those wondering {and for those who don't know} I am starting to feel better after being out of the hospital finally. I still play my favorite songs over and over and withdraw sometimes,  I also have not been outside since TG day, which still has my other half worried some. I really miss the medication I used to take that I began reacting badly too. It worked "wonders" at keeping me balanced. Jan Feb Mar have always been very hard psychiatrically and depression wise on me,and they approach fast. It's call SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder in addition to the Bipolar.

This week we hope to put up the tree. I will cut a new board on which to build a new layout {simple- not much room for complex} for under the tree. One thing I need to watch out for is becoming manic over building it and becomming obsessed with it. Then again that may just get me out of clinical deep depression. As long as I don't turn manic i should at least enjoy that. This will be first year to have DCC trains under tree......

Have pulmonary function test for my asthma today so I will get out. Want to go to HD for the wood, too.

Hope everyone has a smashingly good day!

Good morning.

It's 39 and clear. The high will be in the high 50's and it will be partly cloudy.

My two Atlas GP40's are pulling a 23 car train around the layout this morning and aren't having a bit of trouble, and these are weighted cars too so it's no lightweight. The train is around 16 feet long. The BNSF SD40 is pulling a 19 car train around the inner loop. I don't expect to get much done on the layout today. I have to go see my PCP to get a referral to continue seeing the foot specialist whom I have to go see this afternoon.  I also have to get refills on some of my prescriptions, including my insulin. What a joy that's gonna be. I planted 15 trees last night then hit the sack early. I was worn out. I planted 3 elms, 6 conifers and 6 cedars. I'll say one thing for Bachmann, their Scene Scape trees look pretty good but they are pricey, $10 for a box of 6, 3 in the case of the elms.

***RT, it would indeed take a pretty tough cat to tackle those trains.

 Rob

Rob and Jim I'll have you know I have 4 legged monsters here ( all cats) anyway when I got up this am ( dark in house) I walked to kitchen to get drink tripping half way there as it seems somebody ( 4 legged) pulled the 2 standard gauge passenger cars off the track and put them between the coffee table and the hutch ( trains unhurt me cussing) they like to play with them 2 and don't know it you know but a standard gauge passenger car isn't that light and the only thing kept them from draggin any further I guess is that they were still connected to the engine and they could n't move that lol thank goodness

By the way mine aren't maine coon but I have 1 thats 24 LBS thats boots one thats 22 LBS and one thats 19 LBS the rest are smaller thank goodness. Although the 22 LBS cat daddy was a wild cat that had minx in him I was told and hes as gental as can be but the boss of the other cats.

Jeff, good to hear that you won't be tagging every car you get - that Santa Fe looks pretty good. Sounds like you did all right at H-L. Did you use their 40 percent off coupon this weekend? I'm not sure, but it seems like they're running the 40 percent off one the past couple or three weeks. I like that new consist of yours, too. Looks like some major power coming through.

 

Hobby Lobby has a 30% discount on some mr items so the 40% coupon made for a good price cut on the hopper. So I got the hopper at 40% off, the tank car at regular price and the three boxes of trees at 30% off each box. All in all a pretty good savings.

[Cox 47]

Good Sunday night all.....Hope you all had a good week-end...My Daughter picked up Grand Daughter Tootie this evening sure is quiet round here...My brother brought me some scrap Masonite and I am going to try to use it to make a track cleaning car with it..I built one in HO years ago so I am going to try it in N scale...Also got a idea to buid a small hill as a break from city to country Planning to try to mock it up out of "pink" board...You all have a good night...Jerry

[Paul W. Beverung]

Evening Gang: I got the weight back on the root plow. I lifted it with the Kubota that has the grapple on the bucket. I just grabbed it on th etop of the rail and layed it in place. This time I did some extra welding so it should stay in place. I also pulled out the welder that was parked in the shed under where the gineas roost. It took a couple of hours and the pressure washer to get the poop cleaned off. I used it to do the welding. DC is much better for heavy duty welding. From now on it stays out under a tarp.

The mesquite wood makes beautiful furniture. It really has a great color and grain.

Welcome F-unit. Have a cold drink on me.

Well I guess I'll hit the sack.

Good Night All

So, hey, is that you at the end of the table in your photo, or were you behind the camera? Nice lawn treatment, too.

 

Nope, not I.... I was behind the camera.  That is my oldest son next to his daughter.  As far as the lawn, Love this time of year.  The lawn mower has been put away!  

Cederstrand

***Ray, your granddaughter is adorable. Looks cold outside there. Did you make any snow men trains?

Well I think she is!  But then I may be prejudiced!   No snow trains yet, but I did observe a clown who did a 360° stop at my corner.............  Maybe she should have driven less than the 30 MPH speed limit on the ice rather than more...... 

[JimRCGMO]

Evening, Flo - I'll have a slice of that butterscotch pie (love that graham cracker crust!) and a glass of milk, please 'n' thanks!

Jeff, good to hear that you won't be tagging every car you get - that Santa Fe looks pretty good. Sounds like you did all right at H-L. Did you use their 40 percent off coupon this weekend? I'm not sure, but it seems like they're running the 40 percent off one the past couple or three weeks. I like that new consist of yours, too. Looks like some major power coming through.

Paul, it seems like you’ve been working yourself pretty hard lately. Don’t be bashful about corralling your son or someone to help you with some of those jobs, okay? We’d like it if you didn’t wear yourself down to nothing with all that ‘retirement’... Take care of yourself.

Rob, hope the Game Warden caught the neighbors with the goods, and they have to cough up a fine and change their ways. Problem with that tree is, the utility companies are the only folks with a cherry picker that can get up there to trim things down for a safe distance from your lines. But I’m sure you already know that and have asked them, from your post.

F-Unit, better be careful about peeking - if your folks catch you doin’ that, the set might wind up disappearing and you’ll end up with a couple of shirts (DRESS SHIRTS...) and sox instead. Better keep mum about them - and act really surprised and grateful if they’re under the tree on Christmas Day. Oh yeah, and to the Diner! How long had you been asking for the trains? Had you been drooling (not toooo obviously) when you visited at someone else’s layout with your folks along?

Ray, Jeff wasn't talking about having had chili and beans for lunch - he was talking about the weather down his way! So, hey, is that you at the end of the table in your photo, or were you behind the camera? Nice lawn treatment, too.

Garry, nice loco there - you’ll have Tom drooling if you’re not careful (even if it isn’t a Yellowstone).

RT, I think you get the prize for the first Diner’s train under the tree this year (so far as I know). Better keep your guard cat away from the computer before he starts getting tips from Spring, Spooky & Remington. Next thing you know, they’d have Boots hauling off one of those Fanta boxcars.

DerJohn - you continue to amaze me with all you do, and especially in iNvisible scale! Me, I would’ve stopped a level or two earlier on the details you put in. Kudos indeed!

Didn’t get much more done on the MRR since yesterday, but I did find out that Athearn still has some of the steel cabeese kits (undecorated, no less! ), so I told our MRR club member/LHS owner to order me a couple. I’ll paint both caboose red and decal one with Santa Fe, and the other with CAW decals (once I get the cartridge replaced that the printer has been telling me I need to replace). I already have one (maybe two) D&RGW caboose/cabeese, so that’ll give me cabeese for either end of the CAW at interchanges. Next Saturday is our club CHRISTmas dinner, party & train-running, at the LHS owner’s home. When I saw him Friday, he had a lingering cough he was hoping to lose, and wanted to get a new Walthers 90’ turntable and a roundhouse put in before the dinner/party/train running.

Cold rain here today - hit a high of about 42 F in the morning and the temp’s been dropping since. Some chilly rain this evening that might turn to snow (max. of 1/2” by morning, but don’t bet the farm on it), and maybe continuing tomorrow (but it’s s’pposed to warm up to 39 F). Just a bone-chilling rain for a while. Flo, that pie was really good; how about a cup of hot cocoa please, to warm my bones up before I have to go out into that stuff? Thanks!


Blessings and prayers for a warm spot for your night,

Jim in Chilly Cape Girardeau

[Cederstrand]

Tall glass of cool lemon water, please & thanks.

***Ray, your granddaughter is adorable. Looks cold outside there. Did you make any snow men trains?

***Vincent: [Quite possibly the only BN modeler in the southeast.] Is this a challenge? I have an affinity for BN colors, as they use to run behind my apt in WA once a week or so. Excellent choice!  Not to worry though, I switched to steam and am sticking with AT&SF, Santa Fe, UP, Southern and Southern Pacific lines. 

***Garry, that 4-4-4-4 is Way Cool.

***RT, it would indeed take a pretty tough cat to tackle those trains.

***Der, your container crane sure looks sharp. How much time do you have in it thus far?

I did a bad bad bad thing tonight. I bought something I sure don't need for my future layout. It's just that I felt so sorry for the UP SD90/43MAC downstairs, all by itself, with no other diesels to talk to. OK, I'll get to it, I bought this:

Have been wanting it since the first time I saw one. Let's see, if the big MAC is my "designated (N scale) Christmas Train", then perhaps this little one could be a "Thanks Giving Train?" Gotta be a way to justify it somehow!

[der5997]

 Good evening Diners: and for those celebrating it, a joyful and meaningful Advent Season!  We kicked that off at a choral concert in Stellarton this afternoon. The Pictou area choirs, The Trinitarian Singers, and the Pictou District Honour Choir. A really proficient and enjoyable bunch!     

 

 

 

 

Am pleased to report progress on the Container crane. BTW, the main prototype that I’ve been scaling down and free lancing for my small port is at: http://www.fotosearch.com/EYW193/iac_041/ and a slightly closer look at the upper section….http://www.fotosearch.com/SBY839/e003511/   

 

 

 

 

 I’ve completed work on the cable system that would work the boom if it were not a static model at this point. I built roller blocks (pre-painting the rollers dull silver) for the “pivot point” at the top of the main frame. The cable is soft iron florist’s wire, easy to bend to shape.  That was glued in the blocks as they were being assembled.  The wire was straight to begin with.   Hatches were cut in the roof of the cable house (“discovered” which one that was from the angle required for the cables to reach the top of the frame!)  wide enough to allow some lateral travel as the cable winds on and off the drums, and the cable wire bent down to them and glued in place.  I thought that attaching the shorter ends of the cable to the boom would merely take a simulated hinged attachment piece. So I did a trial. …and found out at once that in fact, since the angle of the cable to the boom is not 90°, but actually unknown until the time of attachment, a functioning hinge joint was needed. Back to the drawing board… ….

 

 

 

and in a different position….

 

 Those tests were with short bits of wire.  The install would be on the already assembled cable on the crane, then on to the boom, but all in one operation!  I had thought of using masking tape to form the joining sleeve. That was simply because I used that to make the simulated sleeves on the bracing rods earlier; and was in a mental rut.  What the job needed was a stronger tube capable of sliding to position as the glue dried. Short pieces of insulation from electrical wire of appropriate gauge proved to be the solution.  Way quicker to describe than do, but there it is… So that phase is done, and this is how the thing now looks…    

 

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

 I recently emailed a few of you an item about “Can't Steal My Christmas... I'm taking Christmas back...”I also sent it to a mrr in New Brunswick. I thought you might be interested in his reply.  At his request I “X”ed out the name of the other identifiable person…

I feel the same way. A couple years ago, here at work, They changed the Kids Christmas party to Holiday party and then also changed our staff Christmas party to Holiday Party. That was it for me and I wrote a letter to our communications and HR departments and let them know just how I felt. I got a long song and dance about it but they did change the Staff party back to Christmas but the kids party is a holiday party.________________ 

 

 

 

Here was my note:I'm sorry but this just bugs me to no end. It has taken me a few days to get my thoughts together on this subject and the following is not meant to offend anyone. These are my thoughts and feelings on this subject.I am very disappointed that we as a Canadian company feel the need to take Christmas out of the upcoming holiday season. This is not just a holiday party it is a CHRISTmas party. I know we live in a Multi cultural society but it is after all Canada and for centuries it has been Christmas not just a holiday. I realize that it is done this way as not to offend other "religious" communities but now you offend one of the largest "religious" groups in this country, of which I am one. It is not just Canadians that celebrate Christmas, many other countries celebrate Christmas for the very same reason we do.What makes it even more disappointing to me is it is not the "other" religious groups that are trying to change Christmas, it is people that were born and raised in the Christian environment. I have spoke with other religious groups and they don't expect us to change our holiday for them nor do they want us to. At the same time we do not ask them to change their beliefs, so why do we as Canadians think we have to change Christmas to accommodate other religions when they really don't ask us to in the first place? If our Christmas is changed then what is to stop other groups from having their holidays changed or taken away? From talking with other employees, I know I am definitely not in the minority in feeling this way. I would like to say please do not take out Christmas from our holiday season, After all had it not been for Christ being born there would not even be a Christmas holiday in the first place._________________ 

 

 

 

Their response:  ""Hi Allan,“X” forward this to me to respond to (“X”reports to me), as she has quite a bit on her plate with the party being on Saturday.I read your e-mail and I completely understand that others feel the same way as you. We were trying to be as accepting as possible of all groups that would like to celebrate the Holiday season with their co-workers, friends and family. We have had some concerns expressed to us, we will review these for next year and a corporate decision on the title will be made.Please keep in mind, nothing about the event has changed. It has been organized in the exact same way it was for the last few years. We hope you and your family as well as those who have organized and are volunteering at the event will be able to enjoy the party regardless of what the event is called.Thank you,""---------------- 

 

 

 

 

Even though they only changed the adult party back to Christmas I will accept it as a small victory. When people start taking Christ out of Christmas I just plain get fired up and there ain't no getting that bee out of my bonnet.....if I wore a bonnet that is.  Merry Christmas to you and your family John. Oh I just put up some of the outside lights last night. Al

You do not stop playing because you grow old;

Sorry to have missed various birthdays etc. Hope you all had great celebrations.      

 

 

 

 

Jeff:  Great looking Ham Sandwich   Those grain hoppers hold 100 tons, and with un-cleaned grain a 100 car train has the equivalent of 3 cars of insect parts and stones etc!  If you want cool details, spilled grain often sprouts on the end sills, a delicate green.  WS T45 ground foam might do (or could be called something else by now, as my supply was bought back in the 1990s.)     

 

 

 

 

Rob: I like the stealth fighter look that composition photo gives to your (drool, drool ) new train room   Chamomile tea: I’ve had that for a queasy stomach, but not as just a beverage…might follow your example.  I’d not tile the floor if it were up to me. (even with under floor heat, my feet get cold). The hard surface will smash any loco or rolling stock un-wise enough to make a bid for freedom!      

 

 

 

 

Ray: Here’s one solution to the PA problem!   Good to hear your sister had a safe and reasonably quick trip home.  Granddaughter sure is shaping up to be a candidate for the Diner! Good looking family you have there.     

 

 

 

 

f-unit: to the Diner. Assuming you are right about what may be under the tree (my brother and I used to go on the “Does it rattle” diagnostic, is that still used? ), what are your plans for it? We’re more interested that nosey.     

 

 

 

 

Garry: Is that PRR T-1 the 5 pounder? What a bruiser!     

 

 

 

 

RT: Nice Christmas tree set up.  Boots-the-guard-cat may be tuning in to the thoughts of certain Maine Coons on the West Coast! What with Spring also into stealing trains, we have to be on our guard.      

 

 

 

 

Tom: Just in case you get to thinking Spooky and Remington are going to be large cats, check out this Liger…Now here’s a lap cat!

 

 

 

 

 It’s getting on to tea time.  No walk today, so I’ll forego dessert. A ton of email to check, so I’ll say Goodnight all, and God Bless. Prayers for all in need of healing, comfort and peace.     

 

[rtraincollector]

Evening all been stopping in but not posting haven't had much to say heres a pic of our Christmas tree and 2 of my train sets top train is O gauge the bottom is my standard gauge set.

Hello DIners!

I skimmed over posts for recent days, and see that lots of food was consumed and there were some terrific familiy visits.  That's just wonderful!

We, too, had some great times. We had family crew from Ohio and from Michigan in town. We ate lots. It was just great. The grandkids put together a neat layout with the wooden train set we have here. A highlight was our 7 year old grand daughter sang a solo in church that was absolutley amazing! We visited relatives in Nashville yesterday.

I posted these phtos in Weekend Photo Fun. You can read about them there. I remakred about my PRR T-1 a few days ago.

Thought you were younger than that???

I meant 55 degrees.

[Packer]

Nope. I can barely wait for my F45. Also can't wait for the christmas music to go away (one week of listening to it before december even gets here gets annoying)

I got myself a sound/dcc GP30 a few hours ago; however, I only bought it to get the sound chassis to put under one of my existing GP30s.

***Jeffrey, my comment about that Santa Fe car was only because above it you had typed "A new Canadian grain hopper", so I figured you were repainting it for that line. (check your e-mail. Thanks!)

A raw day here, cold blowing rain. Still beats no rain, I'll take what we can get.
