Good Afternoon,
it is fairly mild outside - + 2C, but that´s going to change. The weather guessers are predicting a series of blizzards for the next days, adding another foot of that white & wet stuff to the 2 feet we have. Took me more than an hour to drive to the GULAG.
Yiipeeh! Only 6 more days in the GULAG! I will be enjoying my freedom very much!
Jeff - you are doing just fine - my for your stamina you have to be able to cope with all your health issues!
Flo, just a cafe au lait for me - I´ll stay at the RC.
Good morning. It's 35 with a rain and snow mix. The high will be around 50 and it will will be cloudy.I'm able to read somewhat better today for about 8 to 10 minutes at a time. That's better than it was yesterday for sure. I'm hoping this clears up soon. To say that it's aggravating is an understatement to say the least. I'm debating on whether or not to go into town today and pay some bills that can't be paid any other way or hold off until tomorrow when I have to go into town anyway for my doctor appointment. I know it would be better to consolidate all the errands into one trip but I'm feeling rather like the Vontage gnome in those cabin fever commercials when he says I've got to get out of here. There's also the grocery shopping to consider.

Good morning. Another cold morning, and maybe a coating of snow tomorrow.
Just a typical day for me today. Probably head down to the layout later this morning.
Hope everybody has a good morning. I will be back in for the Mondays lunch special.

Good morning All,
Just a regular to go in a NH travel mug please. Loads of fun at the Amhearst train show but didn't see Dick or Bob. Did see a bunch of fellow racers though. Finally got to go to the Steaming Tender rest. More to follow, probably tomorrow after we get the last of the panic stuff done for departure tomorrow. CUL, J.R.
LSWrrJoe, “THOSE ARE REAL” ok, there you go, the pictures are still models but I hope that helps a little. I know I had a real sense of inadequacy myself. Todd, I’m right there with you, I can see myself abandoning the entire hobby if that guy was modeling N-visible or H O, LOL!
I'm with those statements!! Sheeesh!! Those 'models' are something else!
Good Morning--
A nice day is forecast----minus the ever popular 30% chance of little tiny snowflurries.
Actually have a bit of time to do some MRR stuff today---may have to redo the Williston Terminal yard as it's starting to look terminally ill Good thing those wall sections are padded Did Flo get that punching bag I suggested? Good---it's in the corner
Chloe, I'll just have that 3 egg special and a large coffee please--oh, sunny side up and sausages please thanks---I'll be at the corner booth

I told you guys she was still alive!Now we need Fergi to wander in, I guess he doesn’t have internet while underway?Duke, I’ve noticed several of the guys built a chair with wheels to get under their layout. It’s like a wood Windsor chair, reclined, with the legs cut off and the back cut down to fit under the layout. Too bad I didn’t have your stool or one of these Winsor’s to wire my layout.

I’m 6 pages behind this morning, so I’m playing catch-up here.I assembled the foundation for the roundhouse and the Machine Shop; The cement pads have been painted and distressed. The upper edge of the inspection pits received a nice rusty highlight. I’m trying to remember how things looked in the Stanley Engine Shops. Not sure I’ll model the standing water that always seemed to plague the inspection pits.I also re-motored and re-wired a 1970’s MANTUA Pacific. I added BULLFROG SNOT to the drivers without flanges. The BullFrog snot took the locomotive from a wheel spinner with 12 cars to a pulling dynamo easily pulling 28 cars around the layout.
Evening all. Flo, I'll take a RBF, thanks.
Didn't get in yesterday, cause I had to work on my chem lab and my spanish paper.
Spent the weekend down the shore. We actually got some snow down there, but none up here.
Pretty busy week. Got hockey M, W, F, and Saturday. That, and I have to finish my spanish paper, on top of regular homework... :/
Well, I got the lumber for the layout transported from my dad's office to the garage. My mom said I can't start building until I finish my spanish paper, though. MAYBE, IF I find some time (pfft, yeah, right, keep dreaming, Joe, keep dreaming...) I can finish cleaning up the basement and rearrange the furniture, so I can start construction.
Catch ya guys later!

howmusJeffrey, A few years before I retired our faculty was treated to a days program on handicapping conditions. I remember quite well the task of making us read out of a mirror and having one of the teachers who w*rk with kids who have dyslexia stand over you and "harrass" you while you are trying to read a page. Also where you are given a sheet and told to read it alowed with letters and words reversed and are treated to loud sighs, rolling eyes, and other distractions while you are trying to complete the task. Then being told you are just lazy in front of the rest of the faculty! It was a major big eye opener for a lot of us.
Evenin' folks!
Zoe just a nice hot cup of decafe to get me warmed up. I'll be in the back booth by the stove.
Jeffrey, comeon...... look at the page, you can do it, Just look harder!!!! A few years before I retired our faculty was treated to a days program on handicapping conditions. I remember quite well the task of making us read out of a mirror and having one of the teachers who w*rk with kids who have dyslexia stand over you and "harass" you while you are trying to read a page. Also where you are given a sheet and told to read it aloud with letters and words reversed and are treated to loud sighs, rolling eyes, and other distractions while you are trying to complete the task. Then being told you are just lazy in front of the rest of the faculty! It was a major big eye opener for a lot of us. Hope it rights itself soon! Keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
TomW, the loco will be a nice addition to the fleet when you have it done! Keep us updated.
Todd......... Two Years........... (Shakes head) Yep I do remember now you telling us about it all. Two years! (Shakes head)
Got to my sister's this afternoon and found her in tears. It seems the neighbor's cat "Bilbo Baggins" who was about 3-4 years old had just died on her front porch. She had been playing with him earlier in the day and then had gone over to the house where the cats lived and was talking with the neighbor. when she left, Bilbo ran out and made a bee line for Nancy's porch. She arrived just in time to see him collapse and die right in front of her. He was perfectly OK up to that moment... The owned called the Vet who said probably heart just stopped and that was THAT. This was taken a year and a half ago on my sister's porch:
Well, we got my sisters new MacBook Pro all set up and w*rked on little things like not moving the mouse when you click something......... She couldn't believe how much different the process was than what she remembered..... She has used a neighbors PC at times, but they usually have got her to where she needed to be and then clicked send for her.. It should be an interesting few weeks as she gets acquainted with the new toy. She will get set up for wireless on Tuesday. Just for fun we found several of her neighbors that have wireless at their houses. A couple of them she could have joined....... The one she would have tried was locked, but several were wide open. Time Warner will set hers up so that no one else can get into it without her permission.
Time to get some stuff done. Later!

Packers#1This project is on Daoism, Confucism, Budhhism, Hinduism,a nd Legalism. Right now we're working on Mesopotamia, but soon we're moving east, haha.
I had some of that in high school (comparative religions) and again in college (eastern thought). I had a major "DOH!" moment with it. As an "art major" (art with graphic design concentration...wanting to be a news photographer...yeah, worked out great. Really), I had to take a sculpture class. The eastern thought professor's office was just down the hall from the sculpture room. He's walking by one afternoon, I figure I'll display my brilliance, my complete grasp of the concepts we'd been covering during the semester. I proudly grabbed a block of wood and said "Hey look, I've got the uncarved block of Zen!"
He says..."That's Dao (or is it Tao?)." I'm mortified. I'm seeing my grade for the semester vaporizing in front of me. He then starts laughing and walks on down the hallway. I'm still in full "oh-s....... oh-s.........." mode...and he's laughing more and more, harder and harder. I passed...which for a gen-ed class was the sole goal. But man...he always chuckled a bit when he'd see me in the sculpture room after THAT little show...
So glad I could bring happiness to others...

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
Well jeepers THAT was fun... looked, looked again, looked again at the looked again... STILL can NOT find the architect scale. Had some real fun though...Loving Wife swore there was no way it had gone back to her, AND THAT she thought I also had her non-slip steel rule and some pica-thing ruler. I retrieved both items from her "art cart" within seconds. "You mean THESE?"
Soooooooooo, I keep thinking it somehow made its way back downstairs to her studio, or within a close proximity.
Then again, the mouse in our house might have grabbed it so he could design himself a better apartment than wherever he's currently dwelling. Rerun seems to have engaged in some sort of peace treaty with said mouse.
I managed to pull-out enough math from the deepest memory banks to figure out THAT the plan in question is...roughly 3/4" = 1'. It looks like it was blown-up to fit the page, regardless of what the printed scale indicated. I think '90 might've been the same year they published a highly-touted drawing of the GP-18...then caught hell because it had too many GP-7/9 features. The MR folks later fessed up they had used a new computer system, essentially "cutting and pasting" in features.
Heck, seems to me, and maybe I've banged my head a time or two too many...but it seems THAT a plan designed to fit into a 10x11 room "should" fit with some adjustments into a 9x13. A little cut here, some stretch there...
BARRY: The SC is still sitting just underneath the RC...help yerself.
Heck, I'll just have myself a pull of it here... smoooooooooooooth.
And now back to using Loving Wife's gradeschool vintage wooden ruler...complete with the still kinda sharp (ask me how I discovered THAT) metal blade along one edge. You know, I for the life of me can't remember what THAT was for...cutting paper maybe? Yeah, a 12" long strip of sharp steel...MUCH safer than scissors...
Todd........Thanks for that!!! I like the picture at the end of the "how to" of the layout shot. That will really help.
AmanaMedicPackers#1I wish we ahd gotten snow! and that probably sounds like crazy talk to you northerners, but the last time we had a good snow was when I was in first grade! Well Hoss...come on up to Iowa, we're due for more tomorrow into Tuesday. Tell ya what I'll do, I'll go high-fiber the cows...see if they can flatuate enough "global warming methane" to direct the latest storm more toward your direction!

that just might be crazy enough to work!
Well, haven't done much today. did get almost all of my research for a project for World geography class finished.
AmanaMedicWelp, had a good-news/bad-news situamacation. I dug out the "Free Haven Terminal RR" plan from the Oct. '90 MR. I realized why one particular corner looked like it would end up over 4' deep. The plan, which CLAIMS to be 1/2" = 1' is NOT! Don't know what it is...but it's a heckuva lot bigger. I came to this brilliant realization when I laid my 1/2" = 1' floorplan over it...and found a huge disconnect.
If it anything like certain of my own grids they might have shuffled a 1/4" grid under it by mistake! I've seen that on some N scale "plans" that some people would fob off on some unsuspecting soul and when one would get to the point of getting it all laid out-----PTOOOFF!! Suddenly it becomes nothing more than guibble-----
AmanaMedicI see TODD cleared off the drafting table, and it looks like some nice padded walls around it. Think I'll make use of THAT...uh, somebody maybe wanna put JIM on stand-by? I think he's still on-call, and I hear he's good at untangalating tangled up minds
I like the fact that Jim is on call---- BTW---keep that SC around--we might need it too---I've discovered an issue--or 2--on my own layout----
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh good evening one and all,
Welp, had a good-news/bad-news situamacation. I dug out the "Free Haven Terminal RR" plan from the Oct. '90 MR. I realized why one particular corner looked like it would end up over 4' deep. The plan, which CLAIMS to be 1/2" = 1' is NOT! Don't know what it is...but it's a heckuva lot bigger. I came to this brilliant realization when I laid my 1/2" = 1' floorplan over it...and found a huge disconnect.
So...I am (again) optimistic THAT this plan can be tweaked to fit my space.
However, I need the architect scale to figure-out what in the blazes scale the MR plan IS in...and it has invisibilated itself!
Gone.
Like it never existed other than in my often fertile imagination...
IF it 'taint one thing...it's always another!!!!!

I'll just go and Daffy Duck around on the padded walls......

Todd- Check with H.D. and Lowes. They do come in different widths Two of my friends have done it with good results. Also, another idea-Bifold doors. They come slotted ,top or bottom, for ventilation[airflow]

JimRCGMOJeff, hope your dyslexia gets itself (better) straightened out soon. Sounds like a big bunch of bother, and possibly headaches, besides!
TMarshJeff- How well I know. How well I know. Moving is a never ending thing. To bad Dyslexia isn't standardized. We could just mix up the letters appropriately and you'd know what we wrote. (sllllaaap) OW! I wasn't making fun Flo! He knows I know it's a serious problem, but gee whiz, you gotta admit it was at least worth a grin ... (slap!)

I'm back, I'm back, yee haw I'm back. Now to do some work for me. Layout work that is. First I must remove the structures and rolling stock. Luckily, I have acquired some smaller plastic containers and drawer things from mom's uh, er, excess. She decided, after three times me handling them cause she had to have them, she doesn't need them.
Ray- No my good man you din't start anything. Since you appear to be done moving for the most part, I shall now remind you I have been moving my Mother for two years now. Not a typo, two YEARS. Of course the moving is how I found my layout and got back into this hobby, and also met all you fine people. So though the packing and moving is a pain, I have received so much good I am not complaining it happened. Just that it won't end! Two rooms to go then the garage and pole barn and a shed. There's no end.
Duke- Hey you're up. (must have read my mind that I also am entertaining the idea of changing eras to include steam). Good idea with the creeper seat. But the bench work wil only be about 40 inches to the top. Depending how thick foam I use, not going to use expanded foam this time I'll use extruded like most others, I'm not sure I can get my tall skinny self under it.
Flip- Not sure my carpentry skills are up to that pocket door. The door opens into the main room of the basement....., wait, just a minute. "hey Honey......" Nope, got a strange scrunched up look from the CEO.
Robby- A lift out or dropdown hopefully will be the answer. Where and how will have to be worked out.
Chris- Maggie the Creepy Proof Reading Girl. Hmmm. You gotta tell us about her sometime.
Oh my gosh. First Garry, now Sam. "Bar 54"? (groan)
Jim- Oh don't think I haven't run that through my mind countless times. I'd be happy if she lived forever but that won't happen and aside from the obvious reasons, I dred that time also because the moving again will be back in my face. Of course it may not be as bad, after my sister swoops through and claims her "due" it's Goodwill truck, come pick it up. Mom has been giving us what we want without my sister's input all along so basically there will be nothing except very little we will want. She knows sister will want stuff that we want and since she is never around and Mom says Brenda has been more of a daughter than her own, she wants to make sure we get whatever we want. And more. Ugh. By the way, I hope you get the MRR soon, this one is just packed with stuff good for building. It's definitely a keeper.
Well the smell of supper is wafting through the house and I have a few more trips to unload, (see it never ends) then..... Begin disassembly process. Already got some good change ideas, unfortunately I can't change the PDF files so I have to print out and transfer to graph paper etc etc etc. I don't need a plan to take things apart and paint walls so...... TTFN
Good Afternoon, Janie - we'll see if I can stick around a bit longer this time. I'll have a BLT, cheesey fries, and a RBF, please. Thanks!
Good to hear that this sn*wstorm missed some of our southern Diners (NTBCW our Diners who like the Southern...).
DerJohn, good list there! Sent it along to some (non-Diner) friends. I'd second Rob's comments on the window module, especially since I recall when you were having fits with that grade problem at the join line (a while back).
Todd, maybe Missy got into some leftover pizza? Definite argument for an OUTSIDE doghouse... You sound kinda excited about the new trackplan - go for it, fella! As you said, you have the room (and a smidgen to spare), and a plan you like. And, as for that "moving...'stuff'" question, the short answer is NO, not even once your Mom moves on to THAT greater place ('cause then you'll be sorting through all the stuff to determine who gets what and what goes on sale or to the dumpster).... Well, maybe 10 years later you'll be done - but then again, by then you might have track laid down and be running trains!
Still awaiting my new issue of MR. I checked last Thursday to see if it was in the p.o. box, but no luck.
I'll need to post a photo later once I scan the photo in, but I'm gonna be looking for an older step van to get. I have a photo of the van that my Boy Scout troop used for hauling their tents and gear to the Scout camp in the summertime. It was painted in red and white (about half one color and half the other), with the troop number and a logo of sorts on the side. I have two of the Preiser Boy Scouts sets (may get one more) and can sort justify having three patrols with that many figures, I am guessing. Will also use the W-S Campers sets for some smaller tents - I need to find how to make a couple of umbrella tents (back then, the leaders usually were in those, and our family got one like those for our own use). Now, how to get enough space for (at least part of) a Scouts campground...
Tom - impressive job on that articulated of yours! I'll pass on that question about the green, never having seen the Rio Grande color scheme.
Chris, are you thinking that you might snag a button or two on any power lines along that narrow aisle? (Hey, I resemble THAT remark!) Sounds like you had a little fun at the 'waterfest' you were shooting. (heh, heh, heh...)
Hey, Barry, I didn't come up with the padded room idea - and I think Chris just wanted one padded place on the wall, not a whole room. I get more of my w**k as is, without having this place remind me of it! I'm getting by with about 5 hours of snooze time last night. One that ended with me getting home around 1:15 a.m., and then a few minutes after 6 a.m., the dang pager goes off again! (Ouch, that hurts!) But at least I was able to catch all of the church service this a.m. (from the lobby, on their TV screens out there). Figured if I did get paged, I'd disrupt fewer people by leaving than if I were sitting in the sanctuary area... Tonight, I'm asking the Big Boss for a chance to catch up on my sleep THAT I didn't get last night.
Jeff, hope your dyslexia gets itself (better) straightened out soon. Sounds like a big bunch of bother, and possibly headaches, besides!
Ray, your sister's last computer was an Amiga, in her classroom, in the 1980's, right? (chuckle... snort.. hee, hee... Well, good that it wasn't a Commodore VIC 20...) At least her first (personal) computer is a good one!
Sam - snicker...
Think I'll be at the window booth, enjoying the afternoon sunshine (which looks warm, mostly because I'm INSIDE now!).
Blessings and Prayers,

Good Afternoon... pot of coffee, double cheeseburger basket....at the RC please 'n thank-ya ladies!
TMarshTalked to the wife and she didn't bat an eye. Well, after she found out that the new plan doesn't get out of my space anyway. Didn't really expect her too though. If you think about it as far as she's concerned, so what. Kinda like when she asks me which shoes look better. She wasn't, however keen on the idea of moving the door. Turning it around was fine. I did let it slip about taking most of the basement, THAT got no response other than a quick glance from looking at the TV. Translation: "Not even worth me responding too". Just checking to see if she was listening. If women would do that, there'd be a lot less problems
Sooooooo, as long as THAT "thing" stays contained within it's limits...she's OK with it...
Loving Wife made it clear early on, THAT I could do whatever I wanted with my office and the RR room...welp, other than cause the imminent destruction of the house...other than THAT..."anything goes!" At the same time, the office and RR room are seperated from the rest of the upstairs by a door THAT can be closed at .... "oppertune times." The arrangement essentially gives me the "east wing" of the upstairs as 'MAN LAND.' Heck, she even railed on a former co-worker who refused, flat-out refused, to let her husband have a "man cave" or "man land." No soup for him, apparently, and no place to hide from his wife (and the rest of the world) either! But back to Loving Wife, I told her I'd be knocking holes in walls so as to facilitate the movement of trains from staging in my office to the layout in the RR room. Like TODD's Perfect Wife, she gave the "quick glance" and went back to Wife World....
ROBBY P: Loving Wife has looked over the BUGS, I'll shoot you an e-mail soon with her directives...
TMarshOf course one never knows what tomorrow brings, might be shakin hands with St Peter and dancin' around sayin' "I knew it! I just knew it! Naaa na na naaaaa na "
Fr. Mychal Judge, FDNY Chaplain (Dec.) was famous for saying "if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans for tomorrow." Fr. Judge was one of the 343 members of FDNY murdered on 9-11-01 May he and the others never be forgotten.
Sorry, TODD's quote just reminded me of that...
TMarshTom- Yes I am grateful for the room. You bet I am. I just can't come up with a decent plan by myself to use it. And yes I'm sure things will change a bit before completion, but I have a good start point.
AMEN Brother!
Welp...back to w**k. I got a dozen water fight pics uploaded for THAT to retrieve tomorrow during newspaper layout day. Now, I have to bang-out captions and a "graph" or two of copy to go with it all...get THAT hammered-out and filed so Maggie the Creepy Proofreader Girl can have at it yet this evening.
Have a good rest of the day, moving, canceled programs, sn** (or not), etc., etc., etc. not withstanding!
blownout cylinderJeff: As far as Dyslexia is concerned, my sisters "favorite" phrase of all time is the one people throw around at her----"Oh!! Just try harder!!"
Hello--
We're snowing again.
And I went and found out that there was a blinking hole in the basement hallway so we could not use the dang space so here I was frantically phoning people and waiting for the inevitable lost soul wandering around going--"where'd he go? where'd he go?-" trying to find me. So I managed to get a hold of enough people to get a few more lost souls and we pretty much got everything under control I also left a wonderful message to certain people in charge of such things that reminded them of getting hold of affected staff and such so's we could cancel classes BEFORE we see lost puppies wandering around----
Todd: Is the doorway something you can make into a pocket door? I kinda like Flip's idea there. My door is at the top of the basement stairs so a certain 'Spring' can no longer try to get into the room---paws will, however, show up under the door beckoning "come, come---" BTW--as far as moving---NAH!!
Jeff: As far as Dyslexia is concerned, my sisters "favorite" phrase of all time is the one people throw around at her----"Oh!! Just try harder!!"
I'm going to spend the rest of the day trying to fit a few more sidings into the Williston Terminal yard---
