Lone Jeep : they work fine for me, perhaps just try googling the key words of the website links. Sorry I can't help you otherwise.

No need to try to get them to work. I've already done that and put them in clickable form.

They seem to work for me.

Galaxy ... Hope you will be OK. You may try a high fiber diet to see if it helps. I learned I could clear away belly cramps with some bowls of Cheerios. Also, I learned not to eat popcorn and small seeds which get stuck inside causing the cramps. ... That said, you may have something else.

 

I already take two doses of psyillium fiber a day {either Metamucil or Konsyl}, beats any cereal for adding bulk fiber to your diet. I will have to increase to three times a day now.

Well off to do some laundry.

Have a great day looking nice out there now!

Mornin'!

Zoe, I'll have a breakfast bagel w/ cheese to go along with a fill up on the dark roast coffee. 

I have read over everyone's posts, but don't have time to comment on any right now.  I have several pressing items that should have been done a couple days ago THAT have to get done early today (like a couple hours ago!).  One is a press release to the local paper for the upcoming MLK Scholarship dinner.  I also learned last night I will have to take on the creation of the lists of attendees for the dinner (a job that I did every year up to a couple years ago) as the lady who was doing it has had to bow out for it.  her Father has been battling cancer and a few out problems for the last few years and is now coming home to Hospice care.  She will, along with her sister who has come home to help) will be tied up 24/7for a while.....

Gotta go!  Catch you later!

Ordered a model kit from NuComp Miniatures this morning. It's a 1950's mid-sized trailer that's close in appearance to my own trailer. I've been looking for one of these for quite a while.

Coffee in a SUNNY SOUTHERN mug, please.

***Jim, that view of our mailbox is looking past it, at the main road. Our driveway is just out of view to the left. Behind me the main road continues along our pasture where fewer trees are down (becuase we had already cleared some to make pasture). Hope all that made sense.Whistling 

Our logger neighbor just had 3-bipass surgery and is in the hospital. Was thinking I could make a deal with him for turning some of these down trees into lumber. He only has one partner cutting now and with a glut of trees coming from other neighbors, not sure it's even worth pursuing. Our trees could be on the ground for a couple months or longer before they could get to them. Hmmmm!

Have a good day y'all.

You really are new at this, aren't you. It's simple really. Find the image you want, position your mouse pointer over the image, right click and go down the list and click 'View Image Info'. A list of info will appear. Go down to location in the gray area and highlight the line. Example of the line would be http://www.lineinfo.jpg. Right click and click 'Copy'. Go to Photobucket, click 'Upload now', Go to 'Upload From' and select 'The Web'. Right click on the first field (there are two) and click 'Paste'. The web address of the image will appear in the line. Click 'Start Uploading'. It's a lot easier than it reads out as.

You can also right click the image, click 'Save Image As' and save it to your hard disk then upload it as you would any photo.

For those who have seen the thread on 'NuComp Miniatures' being out of business, it's true. I've been in communication with Mike Sark at NuComp Inc by email. The message he sent me was as follows,

Hello Jeffrey,  Unfortunately, due to the ever rising cost of our materials and the lack of sales in this economy we have been forced to close Nucomp Miniatures. Our web site was supposed to be shut down by now.

He offered me the kit I wanted if I could buy it by PayPal, so that kit is on it's way to me. It's the last purchase I will be making from this company.

Coffee refill, please.

That is to bad about NuComp Miniatures, but I completely understand. My business has been all but dead for a good while now: www.cederstrand.com Unless the rest of the idiots in Govt. are replaced by folks who have some real world knowledge of economics, it's hard to imagine a very prosperous future for us the private sector. Rant over!

Back to NuComp, glad we (mainly my wife) bought all she wanted from them previously. She really likes her trailer park and without NuComp, it would have been much harder to create one.

Tuckered out this evening. Think I got to much sun today. Need to go rest for a bit.

Evening All,

Flo I would love a slice of pecan pie and a coffee please.

Today I had a enjoyable day. I put together my stockyard kit although I believe it had  the worst directions I have seen. There was just a confusing schematic and about 200+ parts. I also put together the Ice House kit I had. My DPDT switches came in so I mounted them on my control panel.

Tomorrow I am helping cook a the club BBQ. Hopefully Sunday afternoon I will put together the meat packing plant I have. Monday I need to rundown to the LHS and pickup a package of Kadee couplers and some Kadee wheelsets for the 3 stock car kits waiting to be built.

Lee- I sent you a message.  

Ulrich- Your friend is in a better place and no longer feeling pain. I hope that gives you and Petra some comfort.

Jeff- Nice weathering job.

Galaxy- I'm glad you are feeling better. I had GI issues for several days after I did the procedure.

Everybody havea good night.

Good Evening everyone.

My Friday has been pretty uneventful, but I did trim some trees in the yard. 

This weekend, is going to be buisy. My Dad and I are going to go out of town for the day (possibly to Folkston, GA- will show photos if I go)  then after that, we have to prepare a shed in our back yard for a ride to another location in the yard (that means mooving 10 rolls of insulation, several boxes of random stuff, and hauling a very large generator to the garage)   Not exactly the most fun, but I'll figure a way to have fun. After that, I got to clear some yard debries from those trees, and, if the bed isn't full, wash and wax my truck for the first time this year.

Good news for me is that I don't have any homework this weekend, so I got it easy (as far as my brain goes)

On the train front: I'm thinking about changing scales for a little while, and trying out N scale untill I can get enough space for an HO layout in my garage.  I have done a little bit of modeling with N scale, and I like how I can assemble longer trains for the mainline compaired to HO scale.  A big plus for me is that N scale has the only SD-80MAC s for realitively cheep (N scale Kato locomotives are starting to rival their HO scale counterparts price wise, adveraging about $70-$80 per diesel)

I hope to get started on that soon. Mabe I'll go surfin for a track plan, and see what I can come up with.

I'll be in the back booth for a little while.

Evenin' folks!

Janie, just a decaf for me tonight.

Been a busy day, but I did get a lot done.  Finished getting materials together for the scholarship news release and got a CD of everything down to the local paper.  Finished mowing the lawn, trimmed around the trees, side of the house, and garden fence, picked up Rxs at the drug store, and then headed over to my son's house to watch the granddaughters for about an hour and a half.  The oldest served Grandpa some pizza (she putt a lot of extra cheese on it for me) and some apple juice I think.....  Both pretend of course.  Then the 2 of them ran as fast as they could around in a circle through the living room the dining room the kitchen and the hall way until they were both no longer able to run.... We also watched some completely idiotic children's TV shows that started with a sponge wearing square pants, and getting much worse as the afternoon progressed....  Anyway Grandpa survived and had quite a lot of fun!

Have been starting w*rk on a database that I will use to list who is coming to the Scholarship Dinner earlier this evening, and finally went down to the train rooms and took a few photos for the Weekend Phot fun thread.

I forget who asked, but the blood thing for me wasn't a "go and give blood" thing, although I have given just under a gallon over the years (they don't like it anymore as it contains a bunch of stuff the Doc gives me that others wouldn't want.......).  This was the once every 6 months "TAKE" thing after the obligatory 12 hour fast.  Have an appt. next Friday to see what they found that shouldn't be there......

Galaxy, glad you are doing better and not..... ah.... tooting so much!  Fiber....????  Oh, yes, I know about that.  i have fiber for breakfast, fiber for lunch, and fiber for afternoon snack....  Then I say to heck with it and eat food for supper most days. Whistling

NERM, uneventful can be good!  Believe it or not.  Uneventful can be a good day!

Oh, here is a quick shot of the new toggle signs for the fascia of the layout.  You can see I have not quite finished yet (still need to print some of them out).  They are done on glossy photo paper, cut to size, and spayed with adhesive.  They stick much better than the old labels, and are easier to read as well.

Later!

Good evening gents, did a little work on the layout before heading out for the day with the wife and friends, thought I would stop by the Diner for a RBF, very warm here today.

GARRY: I was shocked to see how close the lake came to your house with all that 15" of rain you had. Luckily it stopped before it reached your MRR room and house.

Anyone seen John, Ed, Duke or Fergie lately?

howmus,

That is a great idea you had for the fascia labels and that is exactly what I'm looking for.  What kind of spray adhesive did you use?

With all the snow gone gotta be thinking of getting the lawn mowed now....always sumpin to do.  Went to Billings today and on the way I saw an old full scale railroad girder bridge in some guys backyard, this thing was as tall as his house---I've got to get a photo of this.    I'd also like to knock on his door to ask him where he got it and how did he get it in his backyard?  Maybe I could get one for our front yard...uh, maybe not.

Lunchtime in Germany!

Zoe, a Barry-sized burger, fries & salad, please. And a Beer to wash it down.

Sun, sun, sun - nothing but sun! Today´s high will be at 25° C, that´s a sizzling 77 F! Too warm for the season and too dry already. We continue to be under forest fire watch.

No major plans for the rest of the day, maybe a little touch up w*rk on the bridge module. The shipment from Japan will not arrive on time; it just rests at customs, awaiting clearance. Those guys don´t work on a weekend ... Whistling

I am starting to get my gear ready for tomorrow´s trip to my parents. My Mom has to be in hospital by 10.00 hrs ion Monday morning, so we will have to leave early. I hope everything will work out just fine.

Have a good weekend!

AARRRRGH! I ran down to the basement this morning to grab something, and when I hit the bottom landing, SQUISH! The carpet was soaking wet. Some time between 11:30 last night when I was last down there and 7:00 this morning, something dumped a bunch of water in the basement. It's in the storage area, under the stairs, and around the bottom landing where the carpet pad has been sucking it up like a sponge. What's worse is that I can find no evidence of where the water came from. Man, if there's any was I could sell this #@!! house, I'd do it gleefully.

Good news is that at least the train room didn't get wet this time (unlike the other two times I had a leak down there).

So the weekend can only get better, right? Flo, get me a Beer, and I don't even drink!

Good morning. It's 57° and mostly sunny. The high today will be 86° and it will be cloudy with some sun showing through.

Nothing in particular on the schedule today, just whatever comes up I suppose. There are many HO Scale bushes and trees that require attention, if I ever get to them that is. Seems like any time I start something else comes up.

Still tooting, but much less.

MOH goingi over to help MIL and FIL do somethings. Strange. FIL called yesterday to ask if MOH was working Sunday {it's Mother's Day} cause MIL feels ggod enough now to go out to eat at a nearby buffet which is: handicapped assesible and theyhave a staff memeber who can stand outside out the women's restroom shoud MIL have to go {she has continence issues}. MOH said was working- even has a whole 10 hour day, and FIL did NOT ask IF I wanted to go along???? SO now I only can go IF MOH goes now? I think I'm being shunned. FOr what who knows. MOH has said FIL's gears have been slipping. I can stand outside the bloody durn door and warn ladies that theres a man in there!He also has warned us his gifts of cash that flow our way sometimes are going to be dwindling fast. FIL gave MOH a $100 bill for MOH just passed B-day, and MOH threw it back at him and said keep it!

I see where I fit in that family.

HAAAAAARUUUMPPPHHH!

Hope everyone has a g reat day!

Morning All,

The only thing I have going today is the club BBQ. It is supposed to be near 90 today. It rained yesterday for about 10 minutes.

The Ice House I put together yesterday is white--too white if you know what I mean. I am thinking of using diluted acrylic paint and let it run down from the roof eaves and then take a light swipe of rattle can grimy black for the steam smoke I will be using. After that I will dullcoat it. Does anyone of you have other suggestions? I am still pretty new at the weathering thing. I don't want it to look like it is getting ready to fall down, but that it has been in use for awhile.     

Galaxy- Aren't families great?

Ulrich- I hope your Mother will be fine.

Jeff- Once again nice job on the loco. When I get done with the layout I plan on starting to weather my freight cars. I am still very apprehensive about doing it to my locomotives because of their cost. About the only thing I have done to my cars at this point is dull coat them.

Everyone Take Care.

On most of the locos I use powders. If I don't like the job I can just wash it off and start over. Once I have something I like I'll spray it with Clear Flat.

Morning guys

Went up to the track last night. My best and first pass was a 9.23 at 78.2 mph, wit a .14 RT; with a little bit of a bog. Every other pass that night was really bad last night. I was spinning tires like crazy. My father and some friends watched my 4th pass and then told me that I was spinning one tire. Looks like my traction-loc is worn out. The 2nd pass I made would have been a really good race, had my traction loc been working. On that 2nd pass, I got matched up against a 99-04 Mustang GT. He ran a 9.23 at 78.2 mph.

Jim, I've had that happen before. The condesor tray on the AC unit wasn't put in right and my room got a soggy floor. Got the tray fixed, then shop vacced that area for about 20 minutes.

Ken, There's still 24 days left in this month.You should be able to turn it around.

Good Afternoon,

Flo, a large RBF for me, please! Come to like that stuff ... Whistling

Galaxy - if you feel uncomfortable being, say, a little "flatulent", here is what you can do: Mix two to three tablespoons of cider vinegar into a mid size glass of water and drink it. Do this every evening for about 4 weeks and then pause for a week. The taste needs a little getting used to, but Petra and I have been doing this for years now to improve our digestion and well being. Sounds a little like magic, but people have been doing this for centuries - it works. Cider vinegar is an old, old medication for a number of little illnesses. Try it, you are not going to like it, but it helps.

Curt - I am sure everything will be OK, but I am still a little nervous about it. For a 82-year old lady, it ain´t a walk in the park.

Went upstairs into our attic to do some w*rk on the bridge module. Just a spray painting jobs to weather the rails. It should be dry in a few moments - it´s above 100 F up there. Next comes ballasting - my favorite!

Good morning Flo. Could I have 2 eggs over easy with bacon and wet white toast please. Jeffery-wimberly, I'm finally finding out the features on this and I don't have a photobucket account yet either but I hope to get one soon.

That's easy to do. Just go to Photobucket.com and register for a free account. It's fairly quick.
