Good evening ..
Barry! ..Staring at the workbench? ...For an hour? ..... sshhhh .... don't tell people. You don't know what they'll thin of you,
CN Charlie ... Thanks for the Winterpeg report ..... brrrrrr .
TSF... I think you will be better off in the long run if you do end up with a railroad career. I would encourage you to keep trying. ... Eventually, you will be glad to be on Railroad Retirement instead of Social Security. RR Retirment pays about 50% more than SS,, and Congress did not raid the RR Retirement fund as they did with SS. ...... Hard to advise on a resume, however. You should focus a certain kind of job. I don't think it hurts to be a railfan as long as you show you are eager to learn instead of a "know it all". Be respectful of those who are hiring at all times. Be able to demonstrate you are a good worker. ..... College? It may depend on the job, but even a few classes would help. ... I worked in the office and had business degrees prior to railroad. You might wish to consider that. ... Find out how college costs can be paid. Some employers help with that for instance. .... I did move on to non-railroad stuff mid-career, and the transition was not hard. .......

Evenin' folks!
Flo, just a decaf for me tonight.
Finished up the last bit of work on the items I am doing before returning all the Art and Poetry back to the Schools tomorrow. Did a few other odds and ends as well.
On the hobby front, I went down cellar and stared at the workbench for an hour or so. Didn't really accomplish anything. I am trying to figure out how to install the belt drives on the equipment. Kinda which comes first thingy. Every plan i have come up with makes it impossible to finish....... maybe THAT is the way they intend??? I don't know. Anyway I cut some scale 4" x 8" beams to use to hang the drive gear on and stained it to give ir a weathered old look. May get a chance to start installing stuff tomorrow.
Catch you all in the morning!

Good Evening from Winterpeg,
Well on the weather front we are supposed to get up to 5F on Friday with a chance of showers, then down to 0F for Saturday and -6F for Sunday, oh but it will be sunny.
Just trying to shake of a cold I picked up over the weekend. Not feeling too energetic so have mostly just been in front of the TV most evenings.
Tom, congrats on your 47th anniversary. We will hit 29 this summer which I just can't sometimes believe. Where did the time go? I'll be lucky to make it to 47. Not sure my wife will think it lucky.
Ulrich, I'll be sending you a PM.
Well not much new here.

Just for kicks and giggles, I dialed-up Indeed.com, a job-hunting site, and typed-in "railroad" and "Iowa."
This is a CP Rail/DME/IC&E listing for Davenport, Iowa THAT spells-out what THAT particular Class-1 RR is expecting, and looking for.

Norfolk Southern is apparently hiring for Des Moines as well. I doubt any of them offer relocation incentives, they might, but I wouldn't hold my breath on THAT.
Back at it, one article "in the can," one more to go...

Thanks Chris, I'm just hoping I don't have to go to college. Too expensive for me.
And as for relocation, I've got nothing holding me down. If I get a nice signing bonus for buying a house, I'll be fine. I'll look into that Iowa road. Thanks

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood Evening,
JOE: Internet-based ordination? Yup... Our firefighter-Pastor and I were talking about THAT one fine day while baby-sitting a ruptured gas line. He said his son had gone and done THAT "just to screw with me" as he said. I've thought about doing it and starting my own church: Lucky's Burger Joint and House of Redemption... mostly just to annoy the beejeebers out of my bioooootch-in-law, I mean, my "SIL."
Then, I thought better of it. I mean, why call down even more lightning bolts aimed at me??
TEEN STEAM FAN: I'm not a railroader, never even played one on TV. But, I've applied at various times over the years and can tell you one thing THAT will absolutely NOT impress them: admitting to being a "railfan" and/or having any knowledge of their operation. At least the CNW wasn't impressed. A sympathetic CNW brakeman (when they still had brakemen) told me part of the rationale is/was, "you can't teach a man something if he already thinks he knows it." Apparently they wanted complete ignorance, a totally blank slate to work with. If you don't mind a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit of relocation, the Iowa Northern Railway is currently hiring for conductors. They're a shortline running ex-RI tracks from Manly, IA to Cedar Rapids. The Iowa Interstate hires occasionally as well. The last time was for conductors to be based out of the Demokratik Peoples' Republik of Iowa City. The Quad Cities, Des Moines and Council Bluffs are other IAIS terminals they hire for from time to time.
Heck, back in my late teens/early 20s, THAT seemed like an ideal gig: being a brakeman/switchman. I was very much single, zero prospects, I was actually "in-shape" rather than "in a shape," I didn't hate summer, I didn't hate winter, my sinus/skull hadn't been traumatically re-arranged yet leading to skull-crushing headaches in hot humid weather, I didn't mind the idea of being on-call 24/7/365, didn't mind the thought of living out of a traveling bag...
I'm sure BRAKIE can offer some good insight!
Well, time to knock-out some content for THAT Editor. Tomorrow is going to be taken up by visiting gun shops in The Demokratick Peoples' Republik of Iowa City. THAT should be a real experience! THAT has me doing a major article on Iowa's new gun laws, which has led to massive surges of gun permit applications at the Sheriff's offices. I figure while I'm compiling stats from the gun shops on their customer traffic, I can also do a little looking/dreaming while I look over their complement of "boom sticks."
Hey guys, I think I'll try a glass of the oj in the tanker next to the diner.
Hey, can any of you old railroaders help me out a bit here? I've decided that I want to try and get a job working on the railroad. Can you guys tell me what looks good to them on a resume?
The plywood is cut and has been attached to the framework. Next will be cutting and attaching the foam. BUT, I have to leave for a bit so I doubt I will get that done tonight, but you never know. Once the foam is layed then I will have to look at the trakplan for that part and decide if I have to or want to I should say, make any changes. Things look different when the benchwork is up as opposed to on paper.
Joe- I know all about the internet clergy. We have one who lives here in town. He is not a Pastor of either of our Churches, doubt if they would allow it anyway. He doesn't act like any Man of the Cloth I've known (well one but he was unique) except at times he really lets fly with opinions. Funny he never quotes any scripture, he just give his ideas on what the Bible say. Kinda. Like he sees it more accurately. When he sees fit and at a convenient time. Like getting out of a jam particularly with the law.
I'm sure there are many, many fine Ministers Ordained over the internet, but the couple I've met would give you a sour feel for it. That is unfortunate for those who are legit. Too bad, because it's that way for many things.

In order to keep my position as Master and Supreme Ruler of the House, I don't argue with my wife.
I'm a small town boy. A product of two people from even smaller towns. I don’t talk on topic….. I just talk.
Evening all. Haven't been in here in forever, and I've probably missed a lot.
Over the weekend, I was down in Baltimore for my cousin's wedding. It was nice, but strange. They didn't have a priest; instead, my cousin's best friend took online minister classes just so he could do the ceremony. Never heard of anything like THAT before!
On Sunday, we went down to D.C. to Catholic University's open house, and to see the city, since I've never been there before. CUA was nice, and will likely be on the list to continue looking at.
While I was down there in Sam's territory, unfortunately I didn't get to see many trains. Since we were in DC on Sunday, MARC and VRE were not operating (neither runs on weekends), but I was able to see some MARC and Amtrak trains from a parking garage adjacent to Union Station. I also saw some NS and CSX on the way into the city from I-95, as well as MARC MP36PH-3Cs and stored GP40WH-2s at their maintenance facilty.Monday afternoon, before we left, I stopped by MARC's Camden Station in Baltimore, since it was only a few blocks from our hotel, unfortunately, I didn't see any trains in the half hour I was there (stupid peak hour only service!), but I saw a good bit of MTA light rail.
The US Lacrosse convention was also a few blocks from our hotel on Saturday, and that was pretty neat. I got a bamboo shaft for 80 bucks, normally $120.
I have plenty of shots from DC and the light rail, and I'm downloading those from my camera as I type.
Hockey has been pretty good as well. We won the last two games.However, I am 99% sure I have a concussion again. I got hit hard on Friday, don't remember the hit or the moments leading up to it, and everything after it was fuzzy. And I still have headaches. I talked to the trainer yesterday after school, and she thinks it's a minor concussion. So I can't play or do gym until the headaches stop.I just want to be careful because the one I got freshman year in lacrosse was pretty bad, and I would prefer to not be braindead...
Well, I've talked more than enough for now, so I'll be at the RC getting some food (crabcake sandwiches, maybe? I had one in Baltimore that was so good, and I REALLY want another!) if anyone wants to come over and talk.

Good afternoon.
Here is a view from earlier today of pelicans in our bay. We lost power for part of the afternoon.
Tom in PA ... 47 ! .... Congrats!... Best regards to the Mrs. !
Todd ... Did you get to teh basement?
Sam ... Sounds like you are doing well there on the VRE.
Robby ... I hope Jesica's spirits have improved!
Galaxy ... I hope you are noticing improvements as you recover from surgery.
Ulrich ... Evidently, things are getting better for you. If so, I'm happy afor you.
Johnboy ... Yes its was good to see those diners here. Hope they return soon!
Just a quick stop to warm up. I have shoveled the driveway two times now, and its still coming down. Its that nice heavy snow!!
Tom.......Congrats on 47!! I'm lucky to have made it to four.
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Hm. I'm home. Imagine that.
Things went well at the Banks. Mom was right, empty safe deposit. IRA of course will take about two weeks for the check, AND the accounts I was waiting for to use for her stuff, well, the bank asked why because they were now mine and had been since she passed. Again, Mom set it up so I wouldn't be out a dime on the expenses.
Tom- Congrats on the anniversary! I hear you on the card. I think I could never buy Brenda a thing except a card and she would be happy. Problem is, ask the guys how I feel about cards. I also like movies based more on fact than fiction. But I like a good fiction too. Alsooooo, adding your wife to the prayers for the surgery to be not only a success but to also give a little boost in the vision department.
I'm off to the basement. Let's see if I make it there.
The wife and I celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary yesterday, I covered my bases by ordering a dozen of roses to be delivered in the morning, then dinner and a movie afterward. That makes her day as she really loves to receive flowers. I also remembered to get a nice card. Well, to be truthful, I'm not allowed to forget to buy one for any appropriate occasion. The way it works is she sends me into Hallmark when we are at the mall with instructions to go get a nice card. This system keeps me out of trouble.
We saw "The King's Speech" last night and I thought it was excellent. No car chases, shootings, or violence, just a good story line with good acting. I rather enjoy movies that are based more on fact and reality than those which stretch your imagination to the maximum.
We sort of contiinued the celebration this morning by going to our local restaurant and having breakfast. Real party animals don't you think. Tomorrow the wife will have a cataract removed from her left eye. Although she has very little vision with that eye, we are hoping there might be some improvement. When they did the right eye last month, we and the doctors, were very pleased because she did see improvement. As she has been legally blind for a very long time, we will take anything,
Hope everybody has a good one.
Tom

Probably won't be on much today. Left side of my neck and face hurt and my left shoulder and ribs are numb. Most likely due to a pinched nerve in my neck. The disk between the C-5 and C-6 vertebrae is compressed on the left side and the bones occasionally put pressure on the sciatic nerve. This can result in numbness or pain ranging from minor to agonizing. Right now it's just a nuisance. If it keeps up I'll have to get into my traction rig. Not looking forward to that.

Good morning friends!
Chloe, may I please have a TALL stack of flapjacks and plenty of syrup to go with it, along with a Large RBF? Thank you!
I am currently biding my time before I have to report to Broad Run yard. Sign up at 4:30pm, deadhead to Washington D.C. on VRE 338. I will get to D.C. around 6:15pm, and await the arrrival of our "Special Train" to return to Union Station around 10pm. We will bring THAT equipment back to Broad Run! Should be back to Broad Run around midnight if all goes well... Weather guessers are calling for around 4-6 inches of the white stuff tonight, supposedly starting to get heavier around 5pm, so we shall see!
Ulrich- I echo the sentiments of Lee and the others... gift for her and "small" gift for self...
Prayers for all in need...

May He bless you, guide you, and keep you safe on your journey through life!

Me again!
Zoe, a strong coffee, please.
Left home at eight 8 am and just arrived back - that´s close to a full day of work. I do have to get used to that again
Todd - women - a never ending story. I always say that a woman´s mind and the contents of her purse will remain a miracle to men. Thanks for your suggestion on what to do on her birthday, it is close to what I had in mind. I will leave out the part of the cooking though, I am a miserable cook and I am certain she would not enjoy the meal (I also would get a lecture on how to do it right the next time, which I don´t want to get)
Supper time is coming - I might drop by a little later!
TTFN
Mornin' everyone!
Zoe, I'll have a breakfast Bagel w/Cheese and a pot of dark roast coffee in a FGLK mug this morning. Oh and a tall glass of Ed's fresh squeezed OJ!
It's another gray day here in the Finger Lakes, temperature hovering right around freezing. Snow is little by little melting off the roofs of houses in the neighborhood.
Good to see some old friends back visiting the diner lately. Hope you folks hang around more often.....
Have a stack of odds and ends i need to get done today. Biggest is to photograph the Art projects from the MLK Service and get them into the computer. As soon as I get THAT done, I need to make the rounds of the schools and get everything back to them.
Hope you all have a great day today!
Johnboy, every now and again, the batteries do run out and we have to resurface to run the diesel engines.....(since you say I resurfaced, like a submarine).
Ulrich I figured a 1.2 amp decoder would do best, although I guess it would be easiest to get an ammeter, hook it to the track and actually run the engine and see what she'll draw, but at the same time, I don't have an ammeter to do such with, so I guess I'll be guessing until then. Might wanna get a cheaper decoder to start with since I'm doing some trial and error.
Welp, I'll take an order of biscuits and gravy with a large glass of milk and some sausage on the side. I'll take it in the window booth and see what comes down the track and whom comes in.
Ulrich,

Still looking for a couple of those Texas Boys.
Feels like the gang has been reunited. and that is Great.

jeffrey-wimberly galaxy: It seems they don't know what happened to MIL. She has a fuzzy on her MRi as well as the old stroke stuff, but thats about it and they don't know what caused it. She is regaining her speach and remembers nothing of the incident at all, except that she was trying to tell the FIL off about how he treated MOH the other day, and the way FIL been carrying on with his fractured ankle. {Note: he is not using walker or wheelchair to get to hospital to visit and stay with MIL...he is using his WALKING CAST!!!!} AND driving! SO HE DEFINITELY is NOT as "lame" he claimed to be!!!!! Especially when called on! SO now we know he's been being a baby about the whole thing! MIL may go home, or go to a nursing home again after this hospital stay, who knows...but the more she goes to the hospital and to nursing homes, the more she will likely not come out one fo these days. Sadly. I hope the MIL does better. FIL needs to wake up and smell the coffee and quit using the pity/sympathy card for attention.

Thanks, and yep he has disproved his "lame theory" by his actions. Interesting that the MIL's problems were brought about by lambasting the FIL for his behavior!

Good morning. It's 31° and mostly sunny. The high will be about 56° and still mostly sunny (partly cloudy?).Not much going on today. After all the work done on the MoW units yesterday I figure a day of doing little or nothing is in order. At one point a somewhat cantankerous printer was about to make me scream. I'll likely just sit back and contemplate what to do next. What to do? Build something? Do some 'Gomez Addams' type operations? What to do, what to do?
Morning all!
TODD- thanks for the prayers . COntinued prayers would be nice.
The FIL needs to call and see aobut geting a temp regular home nurse aid to help with her while he IS temporarily in worse-for-wear shape and always as he can't help her so much anymore as he is aging too...82. getting old is hell, we know. Not looking forward to it ourselves with my health problems.
I see my psychiatrist today so that should be interesting. He will want history on the surgery.
Speaking of which, the surgeon says he got it all, it wasn't cancer and that there is nothing saying something can't grow back, but he got it all. I have a modicrom of some relief but not all pain free, so still in bad shape. He said there isn't much that can be done about the arthritis of course.
Well, Have a great day everybody!
LSWrr Jeff, I might have MOW markings at the house in black on clear.
Good snowy morning. We are suppose to get 1-3 inches today, and flurries all week. Maybe another 1-3 Saturday!!
Worked on the layout some yesterday and was suppose to go to the LHS also today......But the one guy got "taxied" out to the train again.
Ray..........I like them all. The are all good shots!!
Jeff.......Good looking cars!!
Ken.........I hope you can get the fever down. That's pretty high.
Ulrich...........One word....Women
Good Mornin'..
We be getting a bit more snowfluffies today...high of 30F ...we're having a heat wave...tropical heatwave
Audrey is a keeper here...she does not squawk about what I spend my money on...being that I tend to also spend money on parts for a modular synthesizer..or my guitars...or amps...or model railroad gear...she has things pretty well sorted when it comes to that...then again she also has her own money which she uses to get new keyboards...etc etc....

Good Morning! Coffee Brakeman’s Platter please. Fried hard on the eggs . Thanks. Gee it seems I was just here. Today, I must deal with the bank Mom had in Springfield. She had a small IRA and a checking account and a Safe deposit box that she claims is empty, but were always gonna go in and look before she cancelled. “You never know what Daddy put in there” she said, “we may have a fortune in there. But I wouldn’t make any plans” Oh, forgot to tell you what little treasure I unearthed at Mom's in a drawer. A GM&O schedule effective April 25 1965. yup, 6 trains daily between Chicago and St Louis. The Abraham Lincoln, The Limited and The Midnight Special. Oddly enough, no stops in Williamsville. No real big thing, just thought it was kinda neat.

Ulrich- (tips hat back and takes a sip of coffee looking extremely cool. Leans forward quickly as the coffee burns the upper lip) Let me tell you something about women. We men like the toys. The stuff. Things we can use or play with. Women folk, well they like that too, but they are into the, what I call, “love stuff”. Things that show you love her and care for her. The mushy stuff. A Yacht is nice, but the flowers are romantic. A sign of love and endearment. Brenda’s little hangup I found the hard way is, you guessed it……,a card. For Petra's Birthday try this, pamper her. Make her breakfast in bed, do her chores, make her a nice dinner, (candles and all) draw her a nice hot bath with some soap used more for smellin than cleaning, lay out a nice warm robe, sit on the couch and watch a movie. Maybe rent one of her favorites. Spend the day with her doing what she likes. It doesn't have to involve spending money. Just acting like young lovers again will make her smile for months and years to come. She’ll love it and will tell all her friends what a wonderful birthday she had because with all that stuff, she’s bragging to her friends how much you love her. They see it the same way so it makes sense to them. Us…., well we can’t eat it, use it or play with it or burp it back up so… She knows your low on funds but she will probably enjoy it so much she won’t notice the KATO track show up.
Trust me, (digs something out of ear with a key and wipes it on the cuff of the overalls) When you been around like I have, (haack) you just know how to read and treat a woman and know what they like. (wipes up remaining gravy from the plate with biscuit, shoves in mouth, blows nose on the napkin and tosses on the plate)
Gotta go!
Y’all have a Great Day now ya hear?!!!
Good Morning,
Jeff, I might have MOW markings at the house in black on clear.
Ulrich, I don’t know how it happened back when I was married I bought my wife a (used) bolt action 12 gage shotgun with a Polly choke and a removable magazine for one of our anniversaries. She bought me a large stainless steel stew pot with a strainer lid and a steaming tray in the bottom. I’ll keep my eye out for sales on Kato track starter sets, but in the mean time I sent a couple inquires to a friend of mine who was in charge of liquidating the Middlefield N-Scale club layout. I bought a few switch machines off him, I’ll see if any of the used tracks is available.
Rob, wouldn’t it be easier if all our family members liked model trains? My Girlfriend was very pleased last Valentine ’s Day when she received some HO-Scale dairy cows and the valentine’s day before that I custom painted milk delivery trucks with her last name on them. Granted the standard chocolate and greeting card was also received. I kit bashed a large dairy on the layout and named it after her. She likes re-arranging the cows in the small pasture and moving the vehicles around on the layout when I’m at work.
No real work on the layout to report, however; Dorothy has the bolt of material out that I bought for the layout skirts. Hopefully I’ll have that to install in the next couple of weeks.
Good Day Folks!
Cup of coffee please!
Hope everyone has a great day!
Steven
