Hello everybody
Went to work this afternoon. After finishing doing the dishes i went on my merry way and started peeling potatoes. i started on the 3rd one when, ow!!. i cut part of my fingernail and finger off. I put two bandaids on it, stuffed some paper towel around it and put a ruber glove on and went back to peeling potatoes. THE MISSION COMES FIRST. Anyways by the time i was done the parer towel was completly soaked in blood, and the water from washing floors and Dishes made the blood run all over my hand under the rubber glove making it look like my entire hand was bleeding. The cooks were like "That happens, Man" The servers were all worreyed(there far more prettier than the cooks anyways)
Anyways my building only needs paint now. I used the parts from the coal bin i didn't used to make a small deck out front the building. I am painting it Warm Caramel and white trim. The Kit was prety easy. The windows were a little tuff to put together and the long walls needed to be trimed down a bit. I'd say this was a good experience with Laser cut kits, I will buy more in the future

I was almost early for work and was frequently there before the boss showed up with the keys. I always show up early for appointments. Better early than late. He never showed nor called. May he do better with his next opportunity for work. By far the best workers I've had here were Mexicans. Always early, worked their tails off, never complained once and appreciated the work.

cudaken Work Front, think I am screwed. Yesterday the Evil Over Lord (Larry) showed up at work on his day off. I was not surprised by that. But at one point he asked me "Do you have something you want to tell me"? He had me totally stumped by that question so I said no. Last night I kept thinking what he could have meant with that question? Then it dawned on me, he worked for Calvert Express (company I was thinking about trying to get on) I all so know Dave was on friendly bases with Larry. I bet dollar to Donuts Dave called Larry and told him I was looking into going with there company! Oh well, what can you say.

Ever since the doc got me this new boot I've been having massive problems with it being way too tight. Most of that was due to the hard plastic pinched in back section from the support rods on back forcing the bones to rub together. OUCH! Bone pain is something you don't want. Well I just cut all that out and it's much more comfortable now that those high sides aren't putting all that pressure on my foot and ankle not to mention that it was tearing up the skin pretty badly. I can actually take a step now without feeling like my foot is in a vise. Maybe later I'll get a photo of the cut out section. A description would be somewhat similar to removing the back from a shoe. The sock wrap that holds my foot is attached to the support rods with Velcro so there's no danger of it coming off. I can hardly believe the difference in how it feels. Somewhat like the difference in going from an overly tight dress shoe to a comfortable running shoe. At least I won't be in agony most of the time.
Hi,everybody! 27f and sunny,but real windy again. We're going into a winter storm warning on Tuesday, 8-12" of March lion. I am tired of winter!
Sorry to hear of everyone's woes and bad luck. It'll get better. I'm a half- full glass kinda guy.It's not all sunshine and butterflies here ,either, but ya gotta keep the faith!!
Really wish I was cutting grass today, Jeff! LOL!! Did the shells show up undamaged? I hope so.
Running trains again, today. Murphy seems to be the conductor. STILL finding little things that need to be addressed. I'm knocking them off one by one, though.Adjusting couplers, ground throws, etc.
Sue ,that does look roller-coastery in the pic.LOL! It's not as bad in person.
Good luck racin', JR!
PFC Son has his "Turning Blue" and graduation Ceremonies March 8-9 at Ft. Benning. Wish I could attend. Not gonna happen. Sure hope he understands.He'll get some leave so I'll see him then, I guess.
I've never understood being late for anything, either, Rob. That'd sure peeve me off, too!
Anybody hear from DerJohn or cape Jim? And a few others, too. Good to see some of the MIA's in.
Nascar's on tonight at 6pm. Unless it rains more.
That's all for now. Chins up, everybody!

Ulrich: I feel your pain there buddy. Back years ago when I was working odd jobs to pay the bills and depending on food stamps to buy the groceries some bean counter would sometimes figure I made enough from the little jobs and cut the food stamps. That was a case of pay the bills and don't eat or eat and not be able to pay the bills. Odd thing was it was the same bean counter every time. I turned in a report about it every time it occurred and somebody apparently because the bean counter ended up in the unemployment line. I didn't have a problem with them after that.
Well I just finished mowing the parents yard. Couldn't get the Peerless tractor to start even after having the charger on it until it stopped charging. Charger said 100%, still not enough to turn the engine./ So I used my father's little MTD Yardman. It's harder for me to use and causes me quite a bit of pain but I can use it. Got both the front and back yards cut and got the mower put away. Went and tried the Peerless again. It had been on the charger while I was mowing and now that there was nothing to do it fired right up. Maybe it's getting lazy.
Morning all, some kind of super healthy smoothie you can whip up please Zoe?
The weather is going to hover in the mid-50s during the day and drop to 32 by late tonight. I'm tempted to take my bike out except *cue the music* I need a new tube! Who'd have thought that one tube would last two years or more? I gave up the Panaracer racing/training tires on my bike about 2-years ago for some hard-core Continental Gatorskins, and slime-filled tubes, which have been great, just great. I do miss the light-weight, speed and handling edge the Panaracers and lightweight inner tubes have but I do not miss the frequent flats!
Ulrich... I'm saddened to hear of this development! The state of the world economy hurts ever more of us with little recourse but the kindness of others. I know you'll make it through this mess.
Alvie
Mornin' everyone!
Yeh, since we will be moving in a couple days, I figured I should switch back to English early..... Zoe, I'll have a Raisin Bran w/ fresh churned butter and a few cups of dark roast coffee in my R&GV RR mug. I'll sit in the front booth and stare at the dull outside for a while.
It is 39°F outside here in the Finger Lakes on its way up to 45° later this afternoon. What little "partly cloudy" we got over the weekend is almost gone and will be no more by early afternoon....
Ulrich.................... I am speechless...... My heart breaks for you and Petra. Somehow you will make it through, I know. Check with churches and local pantries for help.... I sure hope you don't end up selling that beautiful little layout to be able to just eat. Wish you weren't so far away!
I will be tied up with MLK business most of the day today and tomorrow. I'll be checking in from time to time.

Hello
Loin-yes he did advertise in MR (thats how I found him) and on the radio. If you look up harbor springs Mi you will find that its not in between anything. You have to be going there to get to it, so there isn't much traffic.
And no I don't live there. there is another hobby shop in Traverse city which is much larger (Town and Hobby Shop)
See ya
Coffee refill, please.
Well, so far this fella is already over 45 minutes late. That doesn't sit well in my book. Is he on some kind of real laid back southern time or what? In all my jobs, had perfect attendance and was always on time, except 3 times when exhaustion kept me from hearing the alarm clock, and that was ove many many years. And one time the Dr ordered me not to work when I had a severe case of mono with liver involvement. If this guy is desparare for work, he sure hasn't shown it to me. If a sick guy like me can get up and be ready to work...Rant over!
Good Morning Modelers!
Work is starting to slow down again so I have a bit more time to spend time here with friends. It's 26F here today and once again they are talking about snow falling tonight. It's already the 2nd most snowiest February in history here and if we officially get another 2.1" before the month is over we break the 1912 record.
Have a great day everyone, time to make my rounds.

Morning,
Lee- Thanks for the offer. I will PM you later in the week. Yes the boxes were less than full loads. Was the school shooting close to Euclid?
Ulrich- Please keep your chin up. You have a lot of people rooting for you. MOH 's family I wouldn't even call a family. MOH and her sister lost both their parents as teenagers and the rest of the family would have nothing to do with them.
Prayers for the injured children and their families.
Ulrich... It is so sad to hear of your troubles. If I had a majyck wand, I would make things better.
We have 100s of high paying jobs out here, nothing under $10/hr, many much more. Problem is there is no housing of any sort whatsoever. Housing *is* rather important in the frosty climes of North Dakota.
We will keep you in our praysers

Sir Madog Yesterday, I called my father and ask him to help us out until the case is settled. I was turned down! Can you imagine that? What good is a family when they don´t support each other in bad times? Still I am the one who rushes to their place when they need help.

Morning from western Kentucky. 54 and sunny today.
not too bad here at w**k
jeffrey-wimberly There's a 20% chance of rain. I'd like to get it done today as the forecast for the next two or three days calls for rain.

Jeffrey, with all the rain you've had lately, is the lake behind your parent's house filled up to normal level yet? It must be nice to have some rain after all your dry spells.
Sir Madog Well, it is not really a good morning. Our job administration made a big mistake, which means we won´t be having any money next month. No money to pay the rent, no money to pay our energy bill, no money to pay the telephone & Internet and no money to buy such unimportant things as food. Time to leave this planet.

Well, now you can join the club of the not-haves! not fun is it? Not that you haven't been far from it already. We are so far behind on bills and I am only paying minimums to get by and MOH is working more hours than before we got into the current mess we are in, but we never seem to catch up lately. Sorry to hear of your troubles, but many of us over here are in the same boat! The USA economy is hurting now just as the Euro economies are! Persue your case ardently!
NO it;s not! What would Petra do without you? What would WE do without you? If you disappear now we can assume you are without Internet for the month, but if you never came back...well we WOULD miss you!!!.
Chin up, old pal.
Curt, so those were used mostly for LCL commodities? The F&C cars you want; make a list and send it to me. The F&C table at the train show in March normally sells them buy one get one free or something next to impossible to understand like buy one, get the second one 50% off then pick 1 free item from this side of the table.
I’m trying to find a little history on the different containers used in freight service pre 1959. PRR had several variations including the TOFC (TTX was incorporated in 1955).
I’m getting ready to mold DD-1 containers if you’re interested. I print my own decals, I downloaded a few pictures from the web this weekend and I think I have a good layout for the containers. I made 6 DD-1’s out of clay and baked them in the oven and glued them into a box. Now I’m waiting for the molding rubber and I should be good to go.

Morning All,
At w**k today. High is supposed to be 80F with rain most the day. The Daytona race may not happen again today. Last night MOH tried to recreate the great flood. She left the water running in a plugged sink. We ended up with enough water on the tile floor (thankfully it was tile) that I needed a wet vac to get most of it up. Went to bed at 8:30 PM then woke up at 3:30 AM then tossed and turned until 6 AM.
Garry- Nice pic of the Shark.
Rob- Glad you will be getting some help on the farm.
Lee- From what I know those are appropriate LVL containers. I have looked at pics of the actual cars and the F&C kit looks very close. I want to get that kit also but with what I am doing on the layout I can't afford it right now. I did see a set of the containers (kit) on Ebay last night. Not sure how the price compares to F&C though. I believe the truck train cars started in the early 50's ( I want to say 1951 or 52). I looked at them previously but they were out of the time frame I model. The LVL car would be appropriate for the 40's. You can get decals for the containers from Mt. Vernon Decals (I believe that is the name). Unfortunately I don't have access to my saved favorites or data bases when I am at work.
Everyone take care.
Good morning. It's 54° and cloudy. The high will be 68° and it'll be mostly cloudy. There's a 20% chance of rain.Today I'm going to see if I can get my parents yard mowed. That of course depends on whether the tractor will start. It still has an old battery on it. When the blades and cutting belt were replaced earlier this month it had to be jumped with a 55 amp charger. I'd like to get it done today as the forecast for the next two or three days calls for rain. No plans concerning the layout today. I'm going to be pretty sore after mowing the yard and anything concerning trains will be of minor consequence.
Good Morning!! Coffee and a sweet roll please. Thanks Sunny, with a high near 45. Not much to report today. Treated yesterday like Sunday should be. I also like the progress shots and look forward to the day I can participate too. Say, didn’t Sam engineer for VIA? Ya’ll have a Great Day!!!
