Pennsylvania huh? May get some of that coal. Doesn't hold a candle to the Welch stuff though. Big Smile

finally got a lift kit for my Jeep. Turns out my dad now wants to replace the left front door and right front fender. We were supposed to start working on it today. That didn't happenAngry. Sure enough my dad's got work lining up now that we start something other than a work project. Bang Head, That much figures. Happens every blinking time I plan something, always tends to blow up right in my face. I'll be in the corner booth for a while. 

If you can read this... thank a teacher. If you are reading this in english... thank a veteran

When in doubt. grab a hammer. 

If it moves and isn't supposed to, get a hammer

If it doesn't move and is supposed to, get a hammer

If it's broken, get a hammer

If it can't be fixed with a hammer... DUCK TAPE!

So (not a needle pulling thread), we're in....Pennsylvania? Huh. Always wanted to visit PA. Thanks for handling the move again, ULRICH!Thumbs Up

CURT: Thanks for the tip Pally! I often shoot thinner through the brush, just to make sure she's cleaned out, before running paint. Guess what I didn't do this last time????

Bang Head

But, I WAS able to run thinner through it during the soak and rinse. Huh? It (the jar/siphon tube/"spout") gave every indication of being cleaned out. The more I think about it, the "clog" HAS to have been in the angled metal spout. I would've seen it for sure in the plastic tubeSigh. I guess it doesn't really matter, the problem is allegedly solved, life goes on. Since this is the first real trouble I've had with the unit in...however many years I've had it...I'll continue to be happy with the Harbor 'O Freight airbrush. I mean, if THAT is the biggest "crisis" of my week...it'll be a pretty doggone good week.

"Facetime" with THAT Editor in the morning...just can't wait.

Nice new location and diner. PA is a nice location for the diner.

Flo I would love a beer, but it has to be coffee tonight.

Well it has thunderstormed all day and continues to do so. What a miserable day. Hopefully tomorrow will be dry. The guy that I ordered my last 14  turnouts from, emailed me a little while ago that they were in and I could  pick them up on saturday at the club. This makes me vey happy. Once I get these down it is on to the flex  track.

Ulrich-  Can you order what you need directly from WS or is the shipping ridiculous?

Chris- I had a similar problem (my mistake caused it) and after taking the tip off I was able to use a toothpick in the ports behind the tip and where the siphon tube goes into the bottom of the brush, then blow thinner through the brush. I have a Badger.

A guy at work showed me how to display 2 programs at the same time (I am computer dumb) so I am going to try to post a picture this way. The fiirst time failed and I lost my post here.

Man, I tell you!  Go to check out the plumbing out back, come back and the place has been moved......  Well Grumpy, here is what i just posted at the old place only to find a message telling me to get moving....

(Oh, thanks Ulrich!  I like the spot you chose!  Great minds think alike I guess.)

Evenin' folks!

Flo, I'll have the fish and chips with the salad bar for supper tonight.  Need a cup of decaf to go along with that I guess.

Garry, congratulations on coming over to the bright side of computing.  Hope you enjoy the iMac and that it serves you well for many, many years!

Yep it seems to be time soon to move again.  How about we return up toward the North and help to bring some needed sunshine and warm weather up with it??? 

I have been spending much of the day doing some decalling.  I won't be able to show you what it is or what I am doing until after the Spring NMRA Meet in Hammondsport next week (Saturday the 9th.)

Later!

We'll get there sooner or later!

It´s a few minutes before 1 am, so I took the liberty to move the Diner to a new location for the month. As no hint was given where to move it to, I thought a bit of narrow gauge air would not be hurting us.

The switcher is uncoupled, the blue flag is posted.

Cousin Vinnie and the girls have done her best to get everything into order after the bumpy ride - the place is now open.

Welcome to Orbisonia, PA - home of the East Broad Top RR - well, what´s left of it!

I thought this could be a nice location for this month!
