Janie, just a decaf.....
Actually got a bit of modeling done today! YES! The roof is pretty much done on the engine house. I decided to just go ahead and make it permanent like the other side. You will still be able to see in through the door of the building and through the windows, especially when the lights in the building are on. Still need to figure out what to use for the roof ridge material. I am thinking some thin styrene scribed down the middle and bent to form the shape of the top of the roof. Possibly aluminum foil? Might react with the roofing material - not sure what it is made of. Paper maybe????? Any ideas would be helpful.
Did a bit more basic scenery foundation for the scene as well. Just putting down some more cut and shaped foam board. I am anxious to start w*rk on the Blacksmith shop.
Galaxy..... You still having problems with Bed Bugs???
Have a great night all!

GOOD MORNING!!!
Today is Friday, September 23, 2011!!!
The Autumnal Equinox occurs at 5:04 AM today!!!
SO the First Day of Fall will be underway by the time most of you will read this!!!
Don't trip,. but have a GREAT FALL!!!
Good morning!
WELL, WELL, WELL, WELLSBURG a small tow in nextdoor county of Chemung, wants to invoke the "50/50" rule. It recieved Major flooding in the town of Wellsboro for that town only and really little else in the county die to the flooding to even qualify for FEMA aid.
The "50/50 Rule" means that if your house sustained more than 50% of its oringinal market value in flood damage, you MUst stop all reconstruction and RAISE your house off the the ground to mitigate future damages.One couple DID riase their house 5 feet and sustained only basement, backyard and minor damage
I am surprised the town of Conklin, where flood level is like 10 feet, that although after 2006 flood they turned a LOT of conklin into "green space" PER FEMA, {AKA PArks/recreation} that they would invoke that rule there.
OH OH OH OH..RR RELATED-----MOH was in a store yesterday and two men behind were chatting about lack of employees to handle the customer line at the store and one said ""SO you work as a mechanic for the railroad?" and the other said "yeah Canadian Pacific". The first said "so you must work in the COnklin garage". and the second said "Yeah, what's left of it". In '06 the Conklin yard was spared itself {there was a pic of it in the Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin of the yard tracks only surrounded by water} }, but the lead in tracks were heaving damaged and needed some repair and dry out. I guess this time the yard did not fair so well??
Well, on mwith my day...some grocery shopping for meat {beef} on sale - chuck roasts and such for just $3.99/lb!!!!...{even hamburger 80% is at $2.99/lb!!! so chuck roast and such is bargain city!!!} I WON"t Stock up like I did before the flood, but will at least get 2 weeks worth! MOH favors beef really well. Claims was fed fish {Cod which I dearly love} and chicken to much as a child...wants BEEF. Uh Uh UH.}
WEll, talk to you all later!
Good Morning..

Inch- I’ve attended a few of those lectures in the past!
That reminds me. About the A/C unit. T’was the filter. Yup and boy did I feel stupid. Didn‘t even check.. Had one of those fancy schmancy pleated 3 month jobs in there and boy did I feel like an idiot when BIL looked at it and it was all bulged and sucked in toward the blower. He said “there’s your problem. Clogged filter. You need to change those things every once in a while” I said I did, about a month and a half ago, it said 3 months on the filter. He then told me to not waste my money on the fancy filters and go back to the cheap buck a piece filters. Those pleated jobs clog up and it isn’t the first time he’s been called for the same thing. Unless you need the fancy filter, it’s a waste of money, because I would need my entire ductwork cleaned first and quite frankly, where does the dirt come from anyway? Outside, so with windows and doors that open, he doubts the dirt dust and such only will appear in front of the furnace to be spread around the house by the furnace. Anyway, he said save myself some money and buy the cheap ones, they work well enough and if you do forget to change it, they won’t clog up. And IF they do, they usualy aren’t built well enough to stay in the cardboard frame and will pull out, thereby restoring the air flow. We've ran those filters for about a year now and this is the first time there has been an issue. Besides, if you think you won't have to dust anymore, you're wrong. El Cheapos here I come agin.
Well, gots to go. Have a few things to do today before w**k.
Ya’ll have a Great Day!!!

Morning Folks!
Flo, Scrambled Eggs, Bacon and Hash Browns and diet dew please.
A brisk 45 degrees outside today and I am feeling pretty good right now!
Running the trains last night did get me out of the dumps. That and watching NCIS on the computer. Ran 3 trains and they where dragging 87 cars around the track, that might be a new record for me.
Will drop my later.

Morning All,
It was nice sleeping in my own bed last night. MOH is off grocery shopping since the cupboards are bare and I am getting ready to go get a haircut so I look presentable at work on Tuesday. The house is a disaster area so I will be cleaning for awhile. Tomorrow is the skunk show we are going to. We are going to take 3 of ours. I really don't care about the judging but like the socializing with other owners. Later today I will try to do some touch up ballast work.
Barry- . Hope you have a great celebration.
Everyone take care.

Good morning. It's 66°F and cloudy. The high will be 85 and it will be partly cloudy.Today I'll be putting installing the DZ125 decoder in the Model Power GP9. I'll have to put a bit of tape on the frame directly beneath the ground connection on the motor as it's very close to the frame. Yesterday I put a new Trainline GP9m shell on my Hobbytown chassis. Hood is just as wide as the 60's era B&O shell and most details (lack thereof actually) are mostly the same but it looks a lot better. With only a very small modification the shell fit perfectly. Today I'll take the factory installed light out of the Model Power loco and install it in the Hobbytown loco. The decoder for the newer unit has a light connected to it already. Other than that I have no plans for today.
Well, did some grocery shopping. Plumb wore me out.
Also went on a hunt for a battery for the generator. MOH called Lowes and the guy said "oh yeah, I have 5 on the shelf of what your looking for". MOH asked to hold one in my name. Got there this AM and the guy didn't know what I was talking about and wasn't any saved he said. THe battery looked to be about half the size the battery holder on the generator is desinged for. Hmm. It also requires you to put the acid in the battery and charge IT first. SO I didn't buy it as the terminals didn't look right either. Will have to study the generators again when Im not so pooped.
WEll, Hope Jeffrey has fun today installing his decoders....
I am wiating for the furnace guy to show to fix that blasted hole the installer left in the cieling., but I think I will have to call daily and pester them or go in office in person to get teh job done. They will be INUNDATED with people wnating new heating systems before it gets really frosty here what with all the flooding going on....
Later guys
Good moring, everybody.
Barry ... Happy birthday a day early. Did you start celebrating a day early so you can eat more cake?
Jeff ... Evidently, Sundown Shops evidently never has a break.
I' continuing with my layout project.
Cheers!

Mornin' everyone!
Zoe, I'll have a short stack of Blueberry Pancakes with real maple syrup (leave the bottle ), a side order of bacon, and a cup of dark roast coffee in a FGLK Mug. Please and Thank You. Say, look at the mess at the Rivet Counter! What, Oh Barry ate there last night and nobody could stand to clean up the leftovers yet...... Is that Barry sleeping it off in the back next to Duke? Sure wish they could tune their !
Grandpa has been called to service today.... Son called yesterday to check on my availability to watch the Granddaughters for an hour or so this afternoon. My answer was, "But, of course!" I am going over a bit early so we can do some cleaning up outside before he has to leave for w*rk..... He is still cleaning up from the trees THAT were taken down last spring. Been one of those summers.
I'll be taking my wood splitter out to the museum for a few weeks tomorrow for the fall wood splitting season. I guess there is a good supply of wood needing to be split. It saves the Museum considerable $$$ to have wood available to heat the Depot when folks are out there w*rking. The old potbellied stove is the only real source of heat during the winter months and although it can use kerosine, we like to use wood.
I have a long list of items i need to get donbe over the weekend and since I will be spending most of Saturday and Sunday out there, I best get at the list now!
Later!
Strong coffee in a SUNNY SOUTHERN mug, please.
***Ray, you can have some wood from us for that pot-bellied stove. Only catch is you have to come get it.
***Barry, a very HAPPY pre-BIRTHDAY to you. Hope you receive a full size steam loco wrapped up in a 1/2 mile worth of wrapping paper. Not sure where you would put it, perhaps in your front yard!?!
Have a good day all.

The decoder install for the Model Power GP9 is done. I'm going to have to make a couple of small tunnels to go over the shafts. The couplings have a knack for grabbing wire bundles.
Good Day all!
Long time since I've been able to get in here! Hope all are doing well, and prayers for those who need them.
I'm super stoked to be back in here! I've been away far too long... Hope to rectify the situation from here on out!
1:1 has kept me busy... just completed my 'refresher' trips on the Fredericksburg Line yesterday, and running for an engineer who took a personal day today! Word in the Crew Room is THAT someone is heading back to their previous RR (they were furloughed, and the RR called them back). This news is GOOD for me, means I will be able to hold a regular job!
Well, time to start the process of getting ready for signup. Hope to get back on later tonight when I get home... TTFN!

Evening Folks
Flo, a please.
Got off my duff today and sent out about 18 resumes. All ready have a hit from Select Number's Mattress.
Got to go, furnaces guy is here,
Evening All,
Hope every one is having a good night.
I cleaned house today and did the touch up ballasting that I wanted to do. I then figured I hadn't run trains for about 3 weeks so I tried to run my M1-b with a string of box cars. The tender derailed 3 times going over the same switch, of course in the back of the layout along the backdrop. Before vacation I ran it over that switch 8 times without incident. By this time I was pretty frustrated so I just stopped messing with it until another day. I walked downstairs and the fish tank had sprung a leak about 2/3 of the way down on a seam. Thankfully we have tile on that floor. Did I really say it was good to be home?
MOH decided she is going to sew a skirt for my layout on Sunday so I will probably be hanging that on Sunday instead of ballasting.
We just had a scare from Stevie our oldest skunk. She fell off the couch and started crying and was unable to use one of her rear legs. The leg was sticking straight out from the body. We were afraid it was broken. We wrapped her up in a towel and I softly manipulated it without any pain response. We put her on the floor and she walked off like nothing had happened. Who knows what happened.
I hope everyone has a good night.
Diner seems empty and slow lately. WHere IS everybody????????
It's raining , its pouring , the old man is snoring
Pouring at a fairly strong steady pace.
Hints of FLASH FLOODING for some areas around here according to weather guesser...like we need more!!!!
Forgot now what all I was gonna share with you guys besides that...I'll remember at 4 am.
Now pouring HARD out there...Oh goodie! here we go again!!!
They are talking {finally } about dredging the rivers and creek tributaries now. It's about time they did that. They think it may stave off some future heavy flooding. COulda dunnit in the last 10 years and would have mitigated '06 and '11 floods!
Problem is for some folks who didn't flood in '06 were denied flood insurance as they didn't fall into the "100 year or 500 year Flood plains". Now they can't get paid for damages cuz they didn't have flood insurance. Amazing. You can't get flood insurance unless in a flood plain, and if in a flood plain, rates are astronomical!!!!
Dunno.
Forgot to call the Restaurant we will eat at for my birthday, which will happen Monday instead of Sunday. MOH works Sunday, so I will do normal household laundry chores on Sunday, instead of celebrating. Need to call to see if they are even open as in area of some heavy flooding, but may have survived or had minimal damage. Dunno.
HAve an MRI of my brain to see if explanations for my fatigue and weakness can be found. My mother {may she rest in peace} would be SO PROUD if they found that I have HALF A BRAIN. She always said she sometimes thought I only had HALF a one!!!!
Well, I guess I should say:
GOOD NIGHT!!!
SLEEP TIGHT!!!
See you in the {early AM}.
OK, furnaces is fix.
Galaxy Lauren told me it could be 3 things on the A/C icing up.
1 Lack Todd, clogged filter, I would not think that in you case.
2 Blower motor spinning to slow, lack of air flow like in the case of the filter.
3 Low Freon. In his case the company he works for charges $52.00 up to the first pound, and $27.00 for every half pound there after. A 5000 BTU A/C could hold up to 3 pounds.
See you all later.
Night Galaxy.
Good Evening.
It has been an interesting day today...I ended up finally figuring out all the dang things Tony McPhee did with this piece....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7_MzsJy5xU&feature=related....his spaced out blues style fits my playing very well
As for traintime...oh I had a lot...Audrey found me a few boxcars and a couple of GP7's...all undec. Heeheehee...and she helped me with some tree making as well...she tells me it fits in with her embroidery skills rather well...
Thanks for all the early birthday wished..my actual birthday will be tomorrow but I will be at w**k doing paperw**k....
Chloe, I'll just have some coffee for now..I'll be at the RC for now.
