Mornin' Everyone!
Zoe, I'll have a butter rum muffin w/ real butter and a cup of dark roast coffee in a FGLK Mug! Please and thank you. I think I see one seat left at the Rivet Counter so I'll have to sit over there.
Ulrich.......... Good luck and my prayers headed your way. Great to see you smile!
Currently 47°F under sunny skies here in the Finger Lakes. Good day to stack some wood I think.
It was in last night's Finger Lakes Crimes Times. The County Police shot and killed a rabid fox a couple days ago. Twas over in a small rural town about 8 miles from here. By the time they found and shot it, it had attacked and bitten 3 women. Fox
Best get moving if I want to get anything done today!
Later!

Hi again,
I am getting all edgy (in a positive way) about that job. It would mean end end to making plans for a layout and the beginning of building one.
That´s why I´d like to put up my latest plan for discussion. The space and size is about the max I can do in that room, but I´d like to capture some comments on areas, which you think could further be improved.
It´ll be DC operated, but switched to DCC at a later date - I am too lazy to put any complicated wiring into it.
So, folks - ready, aim, FIRE!
Galaxy - I am sorry to hear about your continuing trouble with your KIA. I hope they get it all fixed this time! Surf&Turf dinner is a nice choice, but I doubt that the chocolate mousse will hold up to Petra´s. No, Zoe, I DO not complain about the food here, would I be coming to this place if the food was bad? No, Zoe, please don´t
PAW!
(flattened out on the floor)
Ouch!

That could very well be, Jeffrey. I don't know yet. It's looking that way, but remember the problems I had with teh 98 Gr Caravan? Replacing this and that and this sensor and that sensor to the tune of a few thousand dollars and being told 3 times I needed a new computer until finally at the dealer, with teh cost of a new computer looming on the horizon, the dealer finds the fault to be a loose wire in the engine wiring harness that they reconnected and "zip stripped into place so you will never have troubles with that wire again" all for $56.00!!! That seems to have solved all the probelms. There have been no problems since with the Gr Caravan.
Prior to that, and after all the troubles with the Kia I would have said the two ran neck and neck for repairs. Onlyest thing is the Kia is under warrantee for another 9,600 miles or until June 30,2011 which ever comes first, and the Dodge never was under warrantee since I bought it 4 years old and out of warantee.
Someone recently said they had a friend who said they though "Kia" was Korean for "crap"/ I dunno only time will tell.
Our train nut friend has Kia Optima and except teh timing belt jumping at 100+k miles, has had little problems except rountine maintenance. The Sedona has a timing CHAIN instead, which I woudl rather have over a belt thank you. I didn't think they even put belts in anymore. I Do need to have the Dealer up coming 60K service done soon on the Kia as Kia will look to see if you maintain the vehicle as well . THat little number is $395. I don't know if the 30K servicing was done or not, as I didn't own it then. I do know a lot of people who keep cars only 3-4 yrs will not do much maintenance as they figure they will trade it in before it gives them trouble and let some other poor shmuck worry about it. I could be the poor ***. I may just have the plugs replaced then too as they say while htey can go 100k miles, they really should be changed at 75k, so I figure at 60k close enough. Next service after the 60k is the 120K servicing at which point i will also have plugs done. Soon I intend to have cooling system flush and replace thermostat as I don't know if flush ever done and am sure the thermostat is now going on 5 yrs old , replace before it gives me troubles. then also comes the lifetime frontend alignment at Firestone as don;t know when that last done. Thats's the thing about a y/o vehicle that the owner does nto thoughtfully supply the maintenance records for, you don't whta has been/not been done when.
galaxy restful day until time to take te Kia in to the dealer tonight for tomorrow's servicing. Hopefully they can figure out what is wrong and fix it.
Good morning. It's 57 and mostly cloudy. The high will be 78. Nice weather we're having.This morning I got the buss lines all wired into the control panel. All the busses get power when their respective DPDT's are turned on. I used alligator leads to connect the blocks together and check that they were wired properly by turning on the Zephyr. No shorts, no backward wiring. Now onto the wiring for the structure lighting.
Good morning all
Then we stop and get H2o at the grocery store and a new surge suppressor strip for the new tv and such as old one burned out withteh old tv when the electricity bounce on/off the other day.
Sir Madog Good Afternoon, I just received a phone call from the people I had the interview with - got invited for the second round! Now THIS cheers me up a little. Chances to get the job have risen from 50:50 to 90:10 now! Zoe, whatever the chowhounds are having - put it on my tab!

Good Morning, Ray, I’m a Boatswains Mate, not a doctor, but if I read your post correctly it sounds like your healthy as an ox. So I guess we can anticipate more S.L.O.W. progress reports.
I cut the grass yesterday and cleaned up the back yard, hopefully this will last me until May 2011 since I put the lawnmower away for the season, drained all the water hoses, and secured the outside faucets for the year. I have the next 4 days off and plan on working hot and heavy on the layout. Thursday the weather will be mild and I can finish all my backdrop work for the season.

Good Morning! Waffles please. Dark Roast in a “I make choo choo sounds” mug thank you We are havng a beautiful warm week. So far. Nov 18 thru 23rd. That’s when the UP is going through Sherman. We will be next. Hopefully I will get some shapshots of the big replacing of the rails and crossings. Should be interesting. Brakie- Sorry about the hand. What’s wrong? Carpel Tunnel? Myself I have arther-itus. As a mechanic I would have to take yearly physicals. The physician would ask if I had any bone or joint pain. After reciting the usual increasing yearly list, the last three or four years I would say “wrists” “OH!!” They would exclaim, “ We need to send you in for thousands of dollars for tests for Carpal Tunnel.” I would tell them that they need not do it AGAIN, it’s arthritis. Nope, thousand dollars, 15 minutes for the tests and at least 1 shock followed immediately by “Oh, guess that was turned up a little high. No wonder you jumped” later and the verdict was in… arthritis. In a rather smug tone from them. They acted like I was looking for to have it.

Ray- Great news from the Doctors!! Of course they just had to burst it with a jab at the weight. Oh well, suspenders can be cool. I can only imagine the colors and styles you will acquire. Remember. A belt holds your pants up, suspenders keeps them from falling down. Supposedly much more comfortable.

Good Morning,
I am in a miserable mood - I feel, well, maybe wasted is the right word. I am up to doing this:
A gray day, with temps not much more than 35 F. Wish I could be doing something useful, but I still lack some inspiration to wo*k on Ken´s track plan.
I am not a good company today.

cudaken Mourning Folks Flo, more Diet Dew, just cannot get woke up today. Ulrich you input is all wise welcome, even if we run trains different. Far as wanting a spaghetti bowl, that is the last thing I want. I understand why you and others might think that with me wanting 4 main lines. In fact the plan by Armstrong that I like he rated low for switching. As far as trying to stick in scenery, not what I am looking to do either. I guess the one thing I have not posted about is the terrain I want the layout sat in. I love Mountains, I see in my mind the engines snaking around turns going up and down grades. Mountains would be a large part of my back ground as well.I am sure you have seen my pictures in WPF, but here put here is a refresher of the look I like. Next patch will be better, I have learned from the mistakes I made with theses. They will all so all be lift off made from foam. If you have seen Arthill, Twhite and Crandell's pictures, that is what I am shooting for in a smaller scale to suit my room. One of the reasons I want a around the room layout is because I want the trains run to be more prototypical. Do not want to see the train go in front of a building, then around the back of it. Self imposed off limit zones. Talking about the A/C and Breaker Box area. I have decided there is no reason for them. Why impose theses limits for in case I have a problem. I have not done a thing to the A/C for 12 years that involving removing it. When I build the bench by the breaker box and A/C I will have it set up where that section can be removed to do the needed work. I hope this has cleared things up a little for yourself, Morgan and others that maybe paying attention to my ill directed attempt to build the perfect Cuda Ken Layout. Vincent Can you post a picture of the Hams car? Todd I did go to the Pearl Beer Website, we are not getting any in IL! See you all later. Ken

Evening all, might I get a bowl of Ice Cream whilst I vent some? Thanks.
Mom's got renters. We've been with her BF for since Oct 2009, and renting the old place. In the Unnattached garage, is our storage and what of mine I haven't got in a unit. We mentioned to the renter that if they were weilling to stay for a long time, or lease to buy, then we'd saee about getting our stuff out and give it to them. A long time being Years. Well, a month or so back (5 months into the lease) we got an e-mail that reads "Our storage unit at our old place lease is now almost up. We'll only have a trailer until November, and we'll gladly help you move out of that garage."
No. Showing the OWNER the door is not the way tro ake friends.
Well, two weeks back then, they asked that with the time change coming et al, I don't come by and work in that garage where my paintbooth is after 7. Fine, we can do that. Now their throwing a hissy fit because I make the dog bark, and that bothers them. I'm over there multiple times a day, every day. I wake the kid by making the dog bark, ot's just insane. To try to help Mom keep sane, I'm not over there for a week. Good thing 75% of my train stuff is out of there, but I won;'t be finishing a commemoprative for Dad... It's YOUR dog, not mine. Talk to ME about problems, and I;m not over there multiple times a day; 2 maybe, but I can't do anything while the paint's wet which takes a day or two or more. And the rest of their B******g and moaning is pure B******T too, but not directed at me. We can't afford an empty house, but we also can't keep sane if people are going to be Afts about not getting their way and being rude about it. Legal council? Disturbing the peace, by making YOUR DOG bark because she heard a car in the street? Of course, you guys only get my side of things, so I'm slightly biased.
What's that? Oh, sorry, my hot air seems to be melting the midnight snack. Sorry guys.
Writing an HO bio for Elliot's how's this sound? A Diner that travels the country, using it's monthly (or more maybe) concert-like moves by rail as an ad gimmick, and highly popular because of it. Founder Elliot found the interest of railfans in the food, but was amazed that cuisine hunters also found the diner an inteesting take on the old railcar diners aside the national roads. Now, for the money to get a Triple Unit Diner and do this puppy. I wosh someone would hire a teenager... "You need work experience" "How do I get it without someone hiring me? I have plenty of volunteer stuff..."

Goooooooooooooooooooooood Evening, mug of apple cider please 'n thank-ya.
Operation Smooth Move/Project Ex-Lax continues in a whole new, unexpected phase. I all of a sudden realized THAT shelves in my office, where the staging yard will be, are too low! The proposed yard will conflict with them. So....not having any obligations to THAT Editor today, I dug through a multitude of freight car boxes. Many cars were upgraded and/or repaired, and relocated to the RR room. Another multitude now occupy the "waiting for Dullcote" ranks on the w**k table. I found some items I didn't even realize I had.
I see we have another Chris, no sweat. Thanks to JIM, I've got my trademark eight-ball to tell us apart.
Tomorrow, I go back to being a productive member of the staff of "the little weekly miracles" (THAT Editor's newspapers) I have to cover the first round of the State High School Volleyball Tournament, Class 4A. It's at the former Five Seasons Center, now the US Cellular Center, in downtown Cedar Rapids. The facility was built on the site of the CNW Freight House alongside the 4th St. tracks, and in the shadow of Quaker Oats. After the match (I only have to cover Iowa City West's battle), and good weather projected by the weather speculationists...I "should" be able to do some wandering around my intended area to model. I Haven't wandered around THAT area for several years. With luck, the CN might be in town, and if I'm realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly lucky, one of the ex-EJ&E SD38-2's might be in town.
I'll yield the floor and grab a seat at the RC for a bit.
Oh, anybody know anything about a movie called "Michael's Day" or something like THAT? I was flipping channels, trying to find something on the idiot box Rerun might enjoy, and caught part of this on THIS, a movie channel we now get thanks to digital TV. A kid was running a CP Rail Alco on a freight train. At one point, the engineer/conductor/brakeman/something and the kid jump off. The train rolls on by. Not sure when the movie was made, the loco had ditch lights, the "van" was yellow and had ditch lights on as well.
I kept flipping.

To get a yard long enough for twenty cars (5.5 in a piece is 9 feet in the shortest track, and then you need almost 7 feet for yard leads total) That yard may have to angle, but then an angle can be longer than a straight side.

Very little mrr lately, except the scratch build. Too much other stuff going on. Better say Goodnight all, and God Bless. Prayers continuing for those in need of Healing, Comfort, Prosperity and Peace.

Evening all.
Did a fair amount of train related stuff today, despite the mountain of homework.
I had to go to the library today for an English paper, and I stopped by the Morristown & Erie shops to see what would be hanging around today. For those interested in seeing photos, see this thread:http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/t/182294.aspx
On the modeling side, I did some work on the Genset. Got most of the parts on. Just about everything except MU cables, air hoses, handrails, and ditch light lenses (cases are on) has been applied. I also started on paint, beginning with the cab interior (control stand and seats painted black) and the cab itself, which will be blue. It's coming along. I'll have photos soon.
Don't know if I'll be in tomorrow (actually, I probably won't be) because I'm going to the Devils game, since my hockey team got discounted tickets and there's some special captains thingy going, and they want us to go and support them.
Well, I gotta go. Catch ya all later!

Hey Urlich.
Well (Deep subject I am waiting to get a job doing work on.) I've just been listening to some CW McCall after I got done with work. Finally took care of all the leaves. Took me long enough to do. 3 days running out of daylight. The school does not make the school day work for me. by the time I get out now, Its 3:15 and I still have to wait for my sister. I used to get home after 4, but now I drive to school. Alot more convenient.
Nothing for me. I'll just keep Urlich some company.

Yoohoo -anybody here?
2.38 am and I am up again -
Janie, I´d go for a hot cocoa, please. I will stay at the RC to see, who will drop by tonight.
Afternoon good peoples!
Flo, a nice warm cup of hot cocoa would hit the spot right now.
Just got back from shopping after seeing the Doc. this afternoon..... I arrive early as they ask, sit and chat for a couple minutes with an elementary school principle I had the pleasure of working under for her last year as a principle. Then I was called in for the appointment. First thing they always do is lead me to the scales..... Tell me, how can I gain 10 lbs. just by driving across the city of Geneva and walking up a flight of stairs??? I was still down about 4 lbs. since my last visit. Then you get led down the hall and the nurse takes my blood pressure.... I could not believe what it was. I almost had her take it again, but decided not to push my luck! 110 over 70....... I almost passed out! THAT is the lowest my blood pressure has ever been in my almost 64 years of life! She leaves and I sit in a chair for the next 45 minutes waiting for the doctor to arrive... He comes in finally and tells me that my total cholesterol is down over 50 pts..... Would you believe, 153, and the balance between the good and the bad was right on the money!!! Uric acid level is down a bit as well. For some reason they didn't get the A-1, 3 month diabetic test, and my count the day of the draw was up a few points, but he left my medications the same. So, I figure I aught to drop dead from heart failure any moment now....... Told him about an episode of very high blood pressure a few months back, he got very concerned until I told him it was right after a picnic at my son's house and that he was serving Bratswurst (mostly concentrated salt it was.... Good though!)...... And about all the potato chips and other salty stuff. I also told him THAT I was having episodes of my right thigh muscle going to sleep when I stand in one spot for any length of time. he scratched his head, looked back over my records, grimiced a bit, and then a light went on and he said, "Oh, what you have is a nerve that is being pressed, probably by your belt around your hips when you are standing. He have it long name, Latin or something, and said it is fairly common in overweight people my age and it is actually a skin thing not really the muscle. So I think the move will be made to suspenders soon..... THAT will give me something to ask for for Christmas I guess.
Well (deep subject) I have rambled on quite long enough, so I think I will see what can be done in the train room!
Good afternoon peoples!
WEll {deep subject that holds water} we went to wholesaletrains.com and bought our train nut friend a Maywood train station kit, a fifties truck w/ "produce dealer people", people of train workers, adn people waiting at the station. I think hes got a NS train set, he can never remember and only set up periodically on the dining room table, wants to turn spare BR into layout space.
Also got teh other half some RR cars as mentioned-still wants European looking stuff but will take American freight cars such as a tanker, a set of flatbeds and a covered hopper of the D&H {Our intials} variety to go with teh ALREADY purchased box cars I bought to go behind the GG1 before I got the pennsy passenger cars.
I got some presents from santa too, just forgot what I pointed out. Wasn't much I was interested in. I also got some new wheel trucks for my dilapidated B&O caboose. Now they should be easy enough..now if I can get teh old couplers out of coupler pockets and new KDs in I will be happy. I will have to saw off the old coupler pocket top to drop in the new KDs I think, and don't know to secure them unless screws are included witht eh kds and now I have to dril hole for the screws? Glue the provided KD top on the coupler box? It will be a trick I guess. Unless someone hasa tutorial I will learn by trial by fire. The trucks are easy-just use the screw and hope I dont't strip them out putting on the new trucks.
SANTA IS ALL DONE FOR THIS CHRISTMAS! WHoo HOo!
howmus Galaxy, not long after I bought it (Brand Spankin' New!) I had a similar problem with my 2002 Dodge Dakota. It would be running along just fine, and then start to skip and buck. Used to give me a real scare when I was 60 or so miles away from home pulling a 2 ton equipment trailer with it. I would get home, call the dealer, and on the way there it would suddenly start running fine again.... They would plug into the computer and not be able to find anything wrong with it. This went on for a year and a half before i was driving right by the place and it started up. Drove in, left it running, and went and growled at the service guys.... They came out shut it off and...... Bad Oxygen Sensor on one cylinder! Finally, after a year and a half, they put a new sensor in it and it has run well ever since. I won't go into all the other problems I have had with it.......... My guess would be you have the same problem with the Kia. But they have to isolate and find it first.

I know they have to find it when it does it. But I gave them several ideas. they have it for the day on thrusday to see if they can find out what is going on. I hope they find it and solve it soon cuz if the warrantee runs out and I have to pay for lots of things I won't be a happy camper! I bought a newer one to help alleviate these types of problems for a bout 4-5 years.
WEll...theres that topic again...I will go eat something.
I will have to print those few pictures I have, and take to the show. Maybe that will open the door a bit more.

Chris.........The Greenberg Toy and Trains Show in Monroeville, Pa. Its this weekend.
Hey guys ive been passing by for a while now so i decided to stop in to see what its like, and its not bad.
Hey Robby what train show are you going too?
Good Evening
it´s been a somewhat drab day - Petra was gone nearly all day long and with the mood I am in, I can´t stand being alone too well.
Flo, darling, how about something to cheer me up a little? No, please, I don´t mean a RBF - something like or .
Robby - that car looks super. Just an idea for the show - why don´t you show a picture of a real car, with yout weathered car "posing" in front of it? I bet people will be amazed!
Ken - I do like the looks of your current layout very much. Do you really want to tear it down (which I would not do)? Btw, Crandell´ s layout is not that big at all.
Well, I see you all tomorrow!
blownout cylinder As for the water stuff--Woodstock ON water is kind of funny--being that it is on a limestone bed you would think that we would not have sulfer but there is a pocket of sulferous water from a well near where my sister lives---it is in Sutherland Park just off Huron St. I can still smell that water now even in my memory--I used to go by there on the way to school--right by the pumphouse--and then skitter up the hill to get away from that smell--
