Dropped off the Chevy S10 pickup at the repair shop this morning, and still waiting to get an estimate on the AC compressor replacement and how much $$$ it will take to complete that job. Just got the call from the shop, $1,199.00 for a new compressor with a lifetime warranty, a new belt, system charge with freon and labor. Why does it seem like this truck is starting to cost as much as a new car note???
Monique went to the endodontist yesterday and all results are negative, everything looks normal with the bone growth shown on the X-rays below the teeth.

Jerry, it’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it huh! LOL. Hey, tell the care giver to put some of that Cajun spice mix in with the onion ring batter next time. POW, ZIP, BANG, BOOM!!! Or as Emeril’s says “kick it up a notch!”
Paul, good luck at the dentist! Your mining project sounds interesting, got any photos to share with us on the progress?
Happy Birthday to Hoople and James!
PC, you should be safe from the confines of your house. LOL! How fast do you think those freights are moving as they pass by your house?
Cudaken, while I'd love to have a great sound system this is what I have: a Sony 80 X 5 channel watt amp/home theater receiver system, Infinity speakers, Sony CD/DVD 5 disk player, Pioneer tape deck, Pioneer turntable, MTX center speaker, and MTX surround sound speakers.
Great photos Inch and Trolley Rob!
Thanks for the joke, Luc! A good culinary laugh is always a treat!
Cheers,Ryan

I'm gettin ready to head for the dentist. I hope that taking out the filling and replaceing it will do the job.
Cudaken: No point in spending a bunch of money on a really good system. Those Hueys that I flew pretty well took care of my hearing.
Ryan.: I'm still getting together prototype info. When I get this picture posting figured out I'll post some pics.
Time to go. I'll see you all later.

They go by at a pretty good clip. They're moving between 50 and 60 mph.
And Paul, it's your turn to buy this time! I don't mind posting right after you when this is the result!
SilverSpike wrote:PC, 50 - 60 mph is a good clip! And I bet they make a great sound too having your house that close to the track.
They do sound good, but I'm not that close. Those pics were on a telephoto lens. I'm about a 1/4 mile at the closest and the tracks angle away from me slightly.
At those speeds though, you don't have long to get your pic. You either nail it, or you miss it completely!
Hey guys! I'll take a Banana Smoothy with vanilla Ice Cream in it today. Not much going on with me, I've been busy the past few days so I haven't had much a chance to do things in the way of Model Railroading. I did get that GP15 I just got running really nice though, I lubed everything up with a little plastic compatable oil, and she runs really, really nice. Now I've just got to find the time to paint her up.
Today I'm hoping to get the turntable on my module motored up and wiried so it will actually work! Our clubs next show is at the end of September, and so I really want to get the thing working by then.

That roof is a long way up! I think I'll just walk to the park in the front of the neighborhood and wait for them to parade on by. Heck, the walk will do me some good!
Hey PC: I got this one. You take my back for me. Those guys can get brutal. You could do what I did. I had a hatch put in the roof when we put on the new roof. It's makes it real easy to clean the chimany and is a great place to watch the trains. The trees have gotton so big that I can't see the railroad from the house.
The dentist took out the filling and didn't find a cause for the pain. I've got a temporary filling to see what happens. If the pain doesn't go away We'll have to try something else.
Well I'm going to cut and run. I'll see you all later.
Well all not a lot happening here .running my engine 2243 got bill for the other engine today wasn't ready for that amount but well its worth it ($130.00) (was figuring $75.00) lol yeah right in my dreams.
Okay bought my first n scale car today. Yes I've always said I would have a small n scale layout in the upper part of my 8' by 11' layout in the back left corner it will be raise about foot or so above my lionel layout hoping to have a n scale virginian engine and cars. The car I bought today was a N&W boxcar by atlas with knuckle coupler on it . You n scalers don't get your hopes up these things are to small for me but I think I can get an oval of track on my crner shelf that I'm putting up there so it will look like another train up in the mountains (funny how my mountains are just happening be running to that back corner lol)
Oh well will have a diet sprite please chole ty
Later all

Paul,
Hope the dentist thing works out. Too late to change the plans and add a hatch. They're past that point. Matter of fact, it's starting to look a lot like a house! Took this about an hour ago......

Sounds like a prime candidate for a root canal..............
They're really not as bad as they're reputed to be. Trust me, I've had about 10.

Almost, but you left out the "address" of the picture that goes between the img tags. You do have them uploaded to a photo hosting website, don't you? I mean, I hope you're not trying to post a photo that is still on your computer's hard drive.
Good morning ! from Indiana.

Looks like breakfast, lunch, and dinner is on me again! Chloe, you know the drill....
Belly up and place your orders....
The repair shop said that the truck would be ready to pick up yesterday afternoon, so I got off work early and picked up Monique early from her work and went to the place before they closed at 6:00 pm. We get there at 5:20 and the service assistant tells me that the AC system had to be recharged again, and to sit tight for 15 minutes. After about 20 minutes he tells me they recharged the system but it is only blowing cool air, not cold. Now he wants to keep it overnight to have the technician work on it some more, and that it might be a clogged orifice valve or clogged condenser. He said that the compressor might have clogged up the system hoses and such when it jammed up. I just hope it does not result in more $$$ from the original estimate. I am supposed to hear back from them this morning, I just want my truck back, and however, car pooling does save us money on gas.
PC, walking is one of the best low stress exercises and it does a body good too! And the best part is there is really no special equipment needed, just a pair of good shoes and your good to go!
BTW, when is your house going to be finished? LOL, just kidding, looks like they are progressing very well. What’s the next phase, electrical and plumbing I bet!
Paul, hope the filling works out with the tooth! Can you say “root canal”, sounds like that may be the alternative.
Mark, sounds like a great birthday party! Ice cream cake….. YUM!
Scratch, you just need to add the URL for the website where the image is located and place it in between the two image tags. And welcome to the CS . Sit a spell and tell us about yourself, modeling trains info, where you from…..
Oh, looks like Ed already addressed your image issue, thanks Ed!
Cheers,
Ryan
Morning all!
Just some coffee to go this morning Chloe! Thanks!
Ryan,
Most of the plumbing and electrical is in. Heating and ductwork too. We're starting to get to the point of insulation, then drywall.
Hope the truck doesn't cost too much.

PC, sounds like you got a really proficient crew building your house! You just might be building new benchwork sooner than later!
Inch, yep, they had to clean out and flush the system a few times and refilled the charge again. They just called and said it was ready, the $$$ did not go up too much, mostly tax added to the total. I also had to have the fan belt replaced and another minor thing too. The nice part about the whole thing is since it was not ready when they originally agreed yesterday, they are going to deliver the truck this afternoon here at my work place as a courtesy.

Hi Gang:
Ed: I've had 4 so far and another one doesn't upset me too much. It's better than having this pain all the time.
I got 3 gates fixed after we got back from town. While we were going to HD ( had to boost Dick's stock up ) I stopped in at Office Max and got some poster board and Sharpies for the mine project.The basement is actuall hot again. This heat is really getting to us. Mary Ann is out of sorts at the smallest thing. I'm not in too good a mood ether.
I'm going to lay down for a bit and practice being re-tired. See you all later.
You and Mary Ann take it easy for a bit. The cool of the evening is on it's way.
