Good Morning,
Nice crusher Ray.
I need to stop being so darn helpful, been helping out others all month, time for some me time next week I think. Every night after work I’ve been running here and there. I’m already getting requests from people for next week: can you help me haul this, can you help replace a toilet, can you help me fix my furnace, can you look at this locomotive for me, I need help cleaning out the roof gutters. I had one friend tell me he took Tuesday off from work so he and I can repair his roof… Nice you got the day off work then asked me what I was doing? I think that should have been the other way around don’t you?
Derjohn, looks like your going to get wet up there!

Barry,,,,,,,,,,No problem. I will keep a look out for your PM.

Good Morning All,
44F and partly sunny (the optomist in me says). I'll have a regular and a blueberrry donut to go please. Trying to get a handle on the job load in the shop as we're actually getting some jobs done enough to go. It probably seems to you all that we move at an incredibly slow pace, but an issue often is there are no parts on earth fpor some of this stuf. Tke for instance the Theodore F-1 car we have in. It was one of two ever and the owner has them both but the suspension is different on to the other. Now a couple of years ago, he bopped the curbing at Watkins Glen and banged up the left rear suspension which we fixed. Now the cumulative effect of all these years of use (it's an '81) has made the bearing lands in the rear suspension out of round and no replacement upright exists. After searching, we found a company to plasma spray the upright where the bearings fit, but we had to machine them out oversize first so there would be enough spray left to not flake off when we machine to size. So a one day in and out job ends up taking a month between searching and fiixing. At least it isn't dull.
Speaking of w..k, best to get to it. CUL, J.R.
Good Morning! 2 eggs over easy, bacon, hash browns, biscuit and butter and grape jelly please. And a huuuuge mug of Dark Roast. Could I get that here at Ray’s stool? Thanks. Most comfortable stool in the place. Besides, he won’t remember it‘s his for awhile anyway. High today of 45 getting down to about 30 tonight. Cold is a comin. Lee- (sung doing a darn good Eddy Arnold impersonation) “Welcome to my world…” I saw the tailgate of a truck once that had the following painted on it. “Yes it’s my truck and no you can’t borrow it.” This of course helps with the brazen who ask to borrow your $50,000 truck like it’s a $20 shovel, but does not much for those who want you to drive, load and unload said truck. And, isn’t it a-mmaaaazing, how they feel your truck should not use fuel when used for them? Why else would they look shocked, surprised and somewhat upset when you mention a touch of the ole U.S. green for gas used. (Diesel in your case). By the way, have you had the pleasure of receiving assistance in planning your day or week for you, when you say you don’t have time, so as to accommodate them yet? That’s always helpful. Especially when they point out what’s not that important for you to do. I always look forward to the “why? What do you have going on?” response to my “Sorry, don’t have time”. I always helps to have someone decide for me what I really need to do and what I can put off til later. Well, back to mom’s house. Had a wee bit of a set back. Termites. Bug dude’s coming out today to erase their existence, not however, without leaving their mark. The wall needs to be replaced. Luckily not all the wall, but about 3 studs on the kitchen wall and the door wall to the garage that T’s off the kitchen wall. Came up on the inside of the edge joist which, un noticed by anyone, is actually covered by what from the basement appears to be the inside of the edge joist but in reality is the last joist. It sets on the inside edge of the foundation wall and the edge joist sets on the outside with about a 4 inch space between the two. They, nor I, could see their tunnels as they didn't come up on any exposed side. Until I went to remove the door trim to fix the plaster crack and noticed the door frame move . They chewed the base plate and part of the stud they came up to, over to the door of the connecting wall, had a party on that, and had only got to one stud of the kitchen wall, (the wall they arrived at) on each side of the hall wall. Luckily it doesn’t appear they got any farther. That’ll be about a week setback. I know. No it should not take a week to replace three studs and about 4 feet of base plate, and build a 40 inch wall with door opening and drywall. Buuuuut. What with work and taking care of Mom, the time I actually have to spend is not as much as you’d think. Or I’d like. Gotta go. Bug dude will be there about 9 ish. Y’all have a Great Day now ya hear?!!!

JR Got to love the Plasma Sprayer, they where coming out as I was leaving the Auto Body Business. Buddy of mine that did nothing but Old Mopar had one on order. By the way I checked out your web site, nice shop!
Photo Bucket After playing with it for about a half hour I finally found some instructions. Must have used the same we company as our web site, guess they get paid by the click of the mouse. All so not keen on how the photos get posted on the site here. Either the picture is full sizes and there is no Yellow Bar under it to expand the picture. (I did some testing in the test section of the site) or you make it a thumbnail and when it is clicked on takes you to the poster Photo Bucket Site.
While I was digging through stuff I found this picture of my Charger being used in a St Louis Gateway Race Track Commercial. Funny part besides I hated the Duke's Of Hazard is there no Engine in the car! I had pulled the engine so I could paint the compartment on a Saturday, they called Monday and wanted the car Tuesday for the commercial. So I backed off the Torsion Bar's all the way and chained a 10 HP electric motor to the K Member. Car does look like it has a motor.
Hum, yellow bar showed up this time.
See you all latter Today.

Good morning all
WEll, other half had a medical proceedure. Never had anestesia before and reacts badly to it. remembers everything before being given it in the operating room and nothing till waking up after 4.5 hours of sleep at home after they finally let us go. Two sips of coffee was enough to make vomiting happen, so no more to eat/drink though poor thing was starving. Might as well been drunk. ADded "reacts to anestesia" to medical history sheet.
Speaking of Medical history sheets for those who have several problems and/or meds like me should have one. It can be done two colum no spacing {except when enter was hit} one sided sheet in MS Office MS Word.. {unless you have a real long history and requires the back of the page to cary some information}
It should look something like this;
Name address with phone Attending doctors
Primary care Physician with address and phone
preferred hospital and address PRescription meds
Emergency contact/health care proxy person and phone
Medical conditions list OTC meds
Past Surgeries list ALLERGIES
Bold the titles and the emergency contact/health care proxy. Hopefully the emergency contact person and the helath care proxy person are one and the same and your spouse or GF/BF for those who have them. You can request a wallet sized health care proxy at teh hospital to carry in your wallet. Good idea to make a phot copy of spouses/significant other/GF/BF or whatever so if they are incapacitated you have a copy to present allowing you to make medical decisions for them based on whoat you know their wishes are/would be. Post one lsit on your refrigerator so Emts can find it in emergencies and cary one in your wallet. If you are in an accident and they look in your wallet for ID and info, that sheet will be golden at the hospital if you cannot talk or remember everything. If you are going to the DR, print one off and date it so they have it to add to their records. I got the idea from the emts who came to pick me up ambualnce when I had severe pneumonia two years ago.They have a magnetic pouch for the refrigerator with "File FOr Life" written on it, you keep a copythere inthe pouch, OR just tape to refer door. And I have a long history fo stuff. Other half is developing a list also, and I can't remember all my 23 prescriptions, let alone trying to remember two med lists.
Ok so more thoughts go out to PC's son for speedy recovery and no more follow up surgeries!
SPecial thoughts and prayers continued for my MIL who is in frail health, please!
Train nut freind's wife is doing ok and is back attending night school, though off from work for 4-6 weeks. Train nut friend has severe back problems and has an electric implant in his body to activate electrodes at crucial areas that cause pain, It doens't really work well for him. He just got approval for SSD.
My back problems are mediocre. I have antoehr appt at the center for pain relief {CPR} on Friday where we are supposed to ahve consult. I don;t havethe constant pain anymore, but if I do somehting that isn't laying down I start in pain getting to serious pain. Sitting for an hour will do it, standing and walking will do it and cooking dinner every night about cripples me. So does doinghte laundry adn running the vaccuum. anything that isn;t resting laying down causes me pain. I take the oxycontin on top of the CPR's cortisone injections, and vicodin. none of which seem to work well if I am not lying down or sitting for less than an hour.
Also tossed in there which teh CPR doesn't know yet is the benign tumor removal from my back. I see the Surgeon in Early Jan to schedule another proceedure for the other side of my back as the MRI show both rihgt and left side with the same anomally. Looks like he took out the smaller of the two. I do not yet know as it heals if that will help lessen back pain or not as the surgeon said ti was wrapped around a few nerves and could have contributed to my back pain.
WEll, enough of that.
I got an email form Customer service at Kalmbach informng me my CC was actually charged less the shipping charge. That whole thing should not have happend with a free shipping offer. I posted the thread to alert others about it, not to lambast Kalmbach. according to an email I got the mags are on their way here, less the shipping charges. HAd Kalbach thought it was more tahn an alert they could have deleted it. and Crandell locked it for which I thanked him as was going to ask him to do anyway if it didn't die out on its own. amazing how many people looked at the thread though!
WEll.I have some chores to do. Other half is half day at work today, but going to Inlaws to drop off stuff and visit with ailing MIL. If she knows waht is going on.
WEll I have written a novelette. I hope everyone takes my Health History report to heart and promptly creats one for every memberof the family. Even kids who routinely take OTC meds should have a listing with parent/guardian as emergency contact/health care proxy, prefered hospital {can make a difference in trying to track them down in case of emergency}, and have their name and address as "ID" in case they get hurt when you are not around.
Have a great day

Good Afternoon,
Zoe, please dear, coffee in an IV bag.

Galaxy - I have a little pass with a chip, where all this info is registered on - quite handy in case of an emergency. Saved my life once. Glad to hear that the missus is doing fine. Not so glad hearing about your continuing back pain. Petra´s improved (so she has to do the household chores, heh, heh). for your MIL!
Morgan - I will send you a PM with my private e Mail address, so you can send me your RTS file to work on the "untangling" bit.

Just got home from the Middle School/High School Auditorium. I had the pleasure of walking the new sound man through the workings of the sound system.... The High School Vocal teacher somehow got one of the best sound men in the country to do sound for her.... I don't know if any of you have ever heard of Moondog Sound? The owner is a local Geneva guy, but has crews working all over the East coast. He did one of the stages at the Woodstock Reunion a few years ago. Definitely fun to spend an hour or so chatting with a real master of the business.
"Someone has been sitting in MY chair....!" Hmmmmm?
Galaxy, hope your wife is feeling better as I write this!
Barry, good luck with all the heart related stuff!
PC, hope your son is recovering well and not in any pain!
My prayers for all of you!
I think I will spend most of the day in the train rooms.......

Todd, true, true.
I do help people out a bunch, and I volunteer with 3 different groups, but there are those that just expect me to help out, but they are never available to help me out. I guess what got me is the guy that took a day off from work so I could come over to work on his house before he asked me, what if I was busy that day? Was he going to sit at home and stare at his plumbing project? Another friend’s furnace isn’t working, I told him 3 times, on 3 different days that I don’t touch gas appliances. I just got a text message that he needs me to get to the furnace before the next cold front comes through. Grrrrrrrr!
So far for next week I’ve been asked to do something after work on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
Ray: Thanks for the well wishes! I got the news that it will be done in 2-4 weeks hence--I just gotta wait for the exact date now I signed the consent orms to do the procedure--they told me about all the issues that could develop--including the possibility of 'shocks'--as if I didn't already have acquaintance with THAT issue---ahem --- coff coff Anyways, I'll be letting everyone know as to when this thing will occur.
As to 'Who has been sitting in my chair--" -- I had one place that I -- ern--until recently went to( since I've been kicked out of it) had a certain person who actually--I found out later I might add--actually 'owned' a chair in this fine establishment... Of course no one ever said that this person 'owned' it--so when she confronted me about sitting in HER chair I asked if she had a deed to said chair---boy did that set her off BTW--the banning occured over their not having 'real' coffee...
Welb, I better get off to the trainroom---have fun peoples!
Afternoon folks,
Flo, just a Dr. Pepper for me....
Barry I know you will be glad to get this ordeal over with. Hopefully it will give you a better and longer life! I'll keep you in my prayers!

Evening All,
Hope the proceedure goes well Barry.
Lee - you should just be glad you're not a mechanic as well. You'd probably have to quit your job so you could find enough time to help everyone . Todd can fill you in on the scheduling thing I'm sure.
Ray - We have reserved seats for a reason. It'll all come to you when you show up and find it out front or receeding in the distance as we do a move. Speaking of moves, it's in the 40's right now though tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 60's where the diners at now. Where to next month? Something a bit more balmy perhaps?

Barry ... I'm happy to learn you will finally be having your device implanted. I've been concerned about you ever since you first mentioned you were getting one. ... The surgery is really not too much of an ordeal, and I'm sure you will do fine. I am on my third device and each required a similar procedure. Also, I had to have a defective lead replaced for another surgery. ... Regarding the shock, I had six of them when I had my rhythm problem in 2008. I only felt the sixth shock. The others were when the heart had completely stopped and I had no feelings at all for them. ... Two of those were when I was "dead" and I had brief after life experiences. (Yes, there is something waiting for us when our bodies die.) ... I'm doing fine now, and I get to bother the diners here.
Ray ... I like your stone crusher structure.
Lee ... Would you conseider a house call several hundred miles away? We have two furnaces, and .........

Evening folks.
Flo, I am fine with water.
Down in the dump's badly. Excepting real bad news Friday. Not health that is about the only thing I have going for me right now.
Still have not got the E Mail sorted out so I can not share the RTS file yet. Anyway here is the latest raw doodle. The part that sort of looks like male genital is just to see if I got the radius right. Seems to fit as far as the turnouts. Latter it will be bent (ouch) to the left for a possible yard.
You will all so see what looks like a spur from the second main line to the 1st trunk line. Main at that point is 4 inch and goes down a 1.99% grade.
See you all in the Mourning.
Hey all! What up?
Ken, that plan is coming along nicely.
Well, the boy is doing real good. After a lot of nausea to start, we seem to have that under control now. Other then that, he's playing video games today, so I KNOW he's better!
Probably won't be in tomorrow as I've got a lot of driving to do. I've got to play taxi over half the state after work. I'll check in on Saturday though. Till then........
Prayers for all those in need! (Yeah, thats YOU!)

Thank you Ken, I'll never look at the Avon NYC/PRR interchange ever agin. Thank you very much for that fascinationg comparison...
Curious as to that the switchback will be. Grain perhaps? Helix makes good job of connecting upper to lower as well, I hadn't thought to ask if you wanted to avoid them or not. Make sure to check ckearences between the two curves in the lower left corner. There's not really enoouch room for trains to pass between upper-outside and lower-inside curve tracks, but the upper-upper and lower-lower clearence looks good.

Rather than a balmy local, Perhaps the diner will visit another northern climate so as to offer a "white Christmas" setting for Santa's train to roll on by and to use the rotary snow plow parked out back!
Boring day I did not sleep at all last night, maybe high strung nerves after other halfs ordeal with the anestesia yesterday, so I tried all day today to catch up. Didn;t work
TOmorrow I have the CPR {center for Pain Relief} for my back. I am not in as much constant pain as I used to be so maybe the cortisone injections are working after all. We will see. Dunno if the surgery ahd somehting to do with lesser pain. THE PROBLEM IS, though I have little/no pain when layoing down or not doing anything. If I sit for an hour or more, or stand for a half hour or more or DO something, I have pain-greater with the more activity I am doing. So I am not in the constant pain I was in, but still ahve great pain doing anything other than lying down ro sitting for less than an hour.
Hoping to get some work on t he train room done so I can GET to the layout.
Waiting fo the people who want to by the monstrosity that is the smowblower to come get it out of the storage shed, so some stuff from the train room can go there and I have more room in teh train room.
We have too much junk and shtuff in there. And I want to expand the layout by half a foot on one side and about 1/4 foot on the other, so i NEED MORE ROOM! ARgh!

Cold out, frost on the roof of the truck when I left w**k. J.R. - OH don’t I know about being a mechanic. EVERYone wants you to stop by and take a look at their car that won’t start. I used to just open the hood and say, turn it over. Then, I say, yup won’t start. When asked what is wrong, I respond. Something ain’t working. Otherwise it’d start. When they ask what it is that’s not working, I say, could be a number of things. But more than likely something on this car. Probably between the bumpers. Do you ever get the requests to repair their car in their driveway? Ten miles from your toolbox. So you can drive halfway across the county after loading your truck with every conceivable tool you might need (leaving of course the one you do back at the shop) so you can crawl around in their gravel because they don’t want to pay to tow it? You spend twice as long, sometimes three times as long and a trip back, in the COLD for a thanks because you weren’t out anything. After all they did buy the part. Usually a part so cheap you actually begin making up the story in your mind of what you will be doing when they call again to have the same thing done. Again. Of course it will have a lifetime warranty so they won’t be out anything at all except the time it takes for YOU to drive them to the auto parts store because they have no way there. Again. Then, THEN, if for some reason you are unable to make the repair there, or you don’t have the expensive tool required, they look at you and say “what am I suppose to do know?” like it’s my fault. I say, “Pay a mechanic. That usually works best”. Then they get mad like I stranded them. WOW! Sorry guys. Didn’t mean to get so loud. J.R. just hit a nerve I guess. Ken- Um, not about Tiff is it? I like the plan. Looks like plenty of things to keep interest and places for towns. What about industries, team tracks sidings etc. Don’t forget about those. PC- Glad the boy’s doing well. Sorry I can’t remember his name, I keep wanting to call himBen, but I know that’s Ryan’s boy. Well, the dog is snoring, so it’s bed time for Bonzo. How do they surive in the wild with that kind of ruckus going on. PFTIN

Morning. Dunno about the "good" part.
Did sleep better last night than not sleeping at all the night before but not slept good still.
Will check in later.
Havea great day.
