Hello Ya'll. Thanks Laura, I'll have a diet Coke.
Just had a nice run around my neigborhood and nearby golf course. the best thing about running at the golf course is the steep hills. Not much on the layout front, just operating here and there, waiting to get some stuff fro my birthday in april. Reading an awesome book called "Brotherhood of Warriors." Its a nonfiction book about A jewish teen in Beverly Hills, Califorina who joins the hardest special forces team in Israel. Great read.
Jeff- love the MP15. Always wanted One.
TMarsh- Don't worry about your comments about your asian freinds, wait let me correct that, american freinds. If they are an american citizen all I see is an american. Dosen't matter what you look like to me, and if you want to make a little jest about an american who cares. Us Michiganders make fun of ourselves all the time. Our saying," Hell frezes over- Lions win the super bowl" the Yoopers do the same thing. As long as its not ment malicisouly I could care less. us americans do funny stuff. So do the french. Chinese. Cubans. If you make a joke in good taste about them, well who cares, don't worry.
Well see everybody.
Oh, and Yes...

Thought you might like those. No rain today so the water level has dropped a lot, about three or four feet. My father and I tipped up the tongue of the boat trailer the Mynah Bird (my mothers 1962 Lone Star ski boat) is on so the collected water in the hull could drain out. The weather guesser says the rains will return possibly Wednesday.

Good Afternoon, Zoe - I'll have a BLT and some cheesey fries, with a RBF, please 'n' thank you!
Think this rain front must be dropping a lot of its stuff further south (somewhere between here and Jeff's place). We're getting rain, but not bunches so far. The weather gurus are saying possibly some thunder here and there, but no severe weather expected out of this. It looked this morning like Garry and all our Diners to the Southeast might possibly get more rain. How's your rainfall so far, guys?
Galaxy, you have a good deal there, with your grocery store and the gas place w**king together like that. Saving $1.50 a gallon on gas sure sounds good. Me, I still have hope (and a third of a tank of gas), so I'm waiting in hopes of even a small drop in the price (though I'm not holding my breath for a $1.50 drop...).
Ray, let us know how your hearing test goes. Best wishes on your coal dump project.
I sorta suspect that I might have some minor loss in my left ear (at least, compared to my right ear), but I hear pretty much anything around me. Then again, I didn't get to very many rock concerts in my college years (or before/after). Only one I recall for sure, was Gary Puckett and the Union Gap came to our Naval base (Bainbridge, Maryland) when I was taking some extra training there. The Naval base had some kind of concrete 'bandshell' (like a smaller version of Hollywood Bowl - MUCH smaller...) where the band set up and played. And also, maybe 25-30 years ago, I saw Amy Grant (& Michael W. Smith) play at the ShowMe Center here, which was fairly loud (louder than my wife liked at that time; she bought me/us tickets for a birthday present). So (except for when it's convenient the occasional times, no problems hearing.... That program looks like you did a good job on Sally the cover. (You rascal, you!)
Jeff - email received - thanks! How's the water level at your parents' place? I hear you about taking the 'alternate route' - i have two occasions when I will take one of those: when we've had a lot of and when we've had lots o'sn*w and/or ice. Did you need a crane like Bill T. showed, to move that medical emergency off the tracks? Ouch! on your shoulder; hope you get to sleep better tonight! Nice shot of your SW1500 there (I like the 'daylight' one)! I think Darren's got the ticket for you there, about your shoulder! ("Oh darn, Dad, I can't help you move your trailer across the yard today...Gee, Mom, the doctor said I can't do lifting; won't be able to help you rearrange the living room today...")
Ken, if you think that the hair length is an issue with your managers (though not with you), you can 'adjust' it some. What about coloring some of the grey in your beard (but not all)? Are the managers mostly younger than you (which could be a factor - or not)? Good that things went better for you at w**k, even if your feet took some wear & tear. As for that getting old thing, I didn't know we had much of an option...
OzJim, no problem - sounds like you are getting a bunch of rain there. And, sounds like over here, except you're fortunate to not get as many of the tornados (and from stuff I've read, the cyclones do not as much damage because they have less of a vaccuum at their centers). Wikipedia article said the land structures in the middle of the USA contributes to why the Midwest (and a few other areas as well) gets more of the twisters). Okay, everybody else, you can wake up now!
Todd, you are right on the WalMart/Murphy's thing. Here, if you get a card at Wally's, you get maybe at best, 2 or 3 cents off. Good if you usually shop at WM anyway, but not enough savings to go out of your way for it.
TMarsh PLUS...she looks good in black.
Yeah, right, Todd - don't go clearing out that "What do we do with this space?" room just yet... But it does sound like 'Nancy' is pretty conscientious about her job (and there're plenty of other folks I've seen out there who aren't). But careful there with your hornet-nest-stirring, fella!
Getting another downpour here now, after it had let up for an hour or so. Hey, so long as we get one good cold snap to kill off any early mosquitoes!
JR, I'd have to agree with you about how slow (any) government agencies can be. I see people coming in to start services with us, who have filed for disability and have an attorney helping them with their case (in Missouri, attorneys or others who assist with a disability claim have a fixed percentage limit of what they can receive out of the initial settlement once the claim is approved), and the attorneys are telling the client that they shouldn't have any job while the claim is pending (not even part-time or temporary). I can sorta understand not wanting to give SS an excuse to turn down the claim, but how the #$%*&^ are the people supposed to cover rent, groceries, utilities, etc. for the two years that it takes the gov't. to decide? Okay, I'd better stop now; the soapbox is trying to slide under my feet.
Rob, by "internal boiler" did you mean the house's boiler, or were you talking about yourself? Good that you're getting some stumps taken care of.
Ulrich, that layout design looks good - is that for the Z-scale, or your N-scale?
It's payday today, so ran around some to take care of those, and will get some others done online. I also picked up a propane truck and some decals for vehicles, off deBay (only $17-18 total, worth it to me). Tomorrow, I may check the P.O. box to see if the new Quicken CDROM came in (first day they said it could be here). Weather might be clear enough by Sunday or Monday for me to try painting the big double-wide background building (Heritage Furniture), if I can find a suitable color I want to use.
I'll be at the RC for a bit. Might even order a bowl of chili, too - hungry today for some reason.
Blessings and prayers,
Jim in Cape G.
Sounds like a few days of running trains is in your future.
Hope for things to heal up but might as well make the best of it...

Been to see the doc about my shoulder. Doc says I bent it up and back and if the pressure is right it'll pop it out of socket. It still aches but that's due to pulled muscles. I'm to avoid any heavy lifting for a couple of weeks.
Hi all
took over $40 worth of nickel-a-can returnables to the Can redemption center. If you get eht coupon off the back of the register tape of the grocery store chain that offers the discount on gas...then you get 6.5 cents for every can!!! Adds up when you have voer 650 cans/bottles to return that a lot of tonic water {MOH} and no calorie flavored seltzer water cans {me} and individual spring water bottles {me + both}!!!
Todd- Right now gas is definitely over the $4 mark!!! Not just over, or barely over, but OVER. That $1.30/gallon off 20 gallons I have will certainly come in handy, especially since it shoudl be about $1.50 by the time i fill 'er up!! We have to buy food anyway, and I buy on sale and with coupons etc, so we get good deals. and to save on the gas as well... good thing! {my FIL actually pays for MOH's gas for all the running MOH does for the ILs.}.
WE did other stuff too. errands,,,you know hte boring things you gotta do like pick up a pay check adn bank it and stuff...
WEll, I actually am startting to feel better in my back now. GOod thing. Now how long will THIS dose of nerve injections last??
have a GREAT afternoon!!!
Dinner will eiother be roasted pork and gravy over mshed, or steaks...hmm to decide..

Good Evening Gang!
A slow day for me! Somehow, I feel like being up to nothing. Looked for hours at the drawing of my boat, but could not figure out how to fabricate those shrouds -
Just to get my mind of a few things which bug me right now, I started to draw a new track plan. You know, I stiil have that Z scale layout up in our attic. There is no way I can put it up in the train/guest/laundry room. I have a hunch that it will rot away if I don´t do anything with it. My options are 1) selling or 2) disassemble and make something new out of the stuff.
Just an idea - a layout built in three segments:
The drawing is not yet finished, but my eyes are starting to get weary of staring at the screen all day long.
Ken - nice cars!
Ray - for your hearing test.
CUL, Folks!
Columbian coffee in a SOUTHERN PACIFIC mug, please.
The following sign hangs down in the bathroom for the train room.
Started up the sports car (excavator) yesterday and dug out the most stumps yet. Today I'll need to rest while the internal boiler is repaired and can once again be fired up. At least some more progress has been made.
Have a great day all.

Todd,
One of the major issues we face here is the immpossible tangle and costly interminable delays anyone trying to get a green card legally goes through. I speak from ex[perience trying to get three different English mechanics sorted out. the quickest took 5 years and one gave up and moved back at the 4 year mark. There is in my mind no way the Satraps in gov't shouldn't be able to complete an application and preliminary backround check in two years (i.e. before a temp permit expires). Just sayin' J.R.

Flo, Diet Dew Please.
Well I am feeling under the weather again. Not as bad as the day thank goodness.
Far as cutting my hair, if I knew I get a promotion I would have no problem with it. But boy, it sure would show off my thinning hair line! You know 5 years ago I would not mind, after all it would grow back! But now, I am not as sure? Getting old stinks!
Well, think I have something to eat then lay down and take a nap.

Mornin'.................. Huh?... Oh sorry I got home around 2:00AM from picking up my sister last night. Her plabne was on time, but it was scheduled to arrive at 11PM, so it was 11:30 before we left the airport, an hours drive to her house, and them the drive home to Geneva..... Of coarse Blackie the cat decided that last night was a good one to keep coming over and liking my nose during the night..... Anyway, Zoe, I need a pot of Dark Roast coffee in a FGLK mug please. Maybe a butter rum muffin to go along with it.
Today will be another day for the record books... Currently 64°F and going up to 76°F this afternoon. Time to get the fan in the window while it is still coolish outside.
I have my hearing test today. I will be glad to get it over with so they can inform me I have a hearing loss! Then I can pay them $5,000 and hopefully get something which will at least allow me to still drive for a few more years.... I don't expect they will be able to make me hear any better really. We will see what we will see.
I have a long list of other stuff that has to be done as well today, so I think I'll just have another pot of coffee and get to it.
Later!

Mark (Hoople) ...... I'm doing great! Thanks for asking.
Curt ..... It must have been an interesting article. One of my videos has the original Zephyr on test runs. Now the train is in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. It is quite remarkable that a train was built and running in the Great Depression that could travel at over 100 mph. It was on old bolted rail track instead of welded rail going that fast. It was built on a tight budget, too. Today, some politicians think we should spend billions of dollars on high speed rail projects that will perform no better than the Zephyr nearly 80 years ago.
Todd ... I hear you loud and clear about the gasoline prices. As I posted when I returned from our trip, we had some very expensive fill-ups. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation being published about this situation. It amazes me that people believe much of it. I am thinking of a so-called "fact check" published by AP yesterday saying oil prices are not affected by drilling for oil. I think there is better information in the tabloids at the supermerkets than the stuff published by AP. However, too many people are gullible. They mistakenly think AP is truthful especially if they use the phrase "fact check". I just wish the schools would teach the kids to be skeptics instead of being so gullible. Drilling for oil increases supply, and that does impact prices. It can not be any other way in spite of the lies in the news media. Also, we do need the pipeline from Canada without further delay. (Sorry Todd. Too much rant.)
I have worked a little more on the layout. I now have more of the Chooch Industries stone retaining walls installed.
Cheers everybody.

Another seasonal day today and then summer kicks in early as we head towards 80F by Monday; YUK!
More NCAA Basketball action tonight, I wonder how much worse my picks will be this round but hey I only but about 5 minutes of thought into it and I still have Kentucky winning so maybe my rank will get better compared to those that went with others whos #1 team is already out but picked better then me in Round 1 & 2...
After reading my post, it dawned on me some of my comments on the Chinese people at the buffet could be taken wrong. I'm not actually making fun of them even though it kinda sorta sounds that way. I poke fun at all sorts of situations and comments and things people do regardless of race, color or ethnicity. Many United Statesians could actually learn a few things about working by watching these girls. They are very hardworking and conciencious (sp?). Take Nancy (the name on the ticket) my favorite waitress there. She is always doing something. If she isn't taking care of dwink, or clearing plate if you done, she is cleaning tables, wiping of chairs, sweeping floors, mopping the little cubby hole witress station. Even moving things to mop under them. All the while popping a head up and scanning the room keeping an eye on her customers. Even when she is just standing against the wall looking around, it seems she's thinking "what can I do?" and then takes off and wipes a table that's been wiped off before or grabs a broom and dust pan to sweep a crumb.
PLUS...she looks good in black.
Some of my comments aren't totally without merit, but not meant be taken literally either, like the comments of looking for a home. A few years back, another Chinese buffet was closed down do to Green Card issues. They would have a pretty good turn over of staff. This one we go to seems to have the same waitresses for a while with no unusual turn over. It turns out, though they apparently arrived legally, they didn't stay legally. They would work and then be shipped off to someplace else in the country to work and hopefully "acquire legal status" somehow. No I don't believe they were sold, or anything illegal in that respect of how they acquire legal status, just illegal in how long they stayed until that was achieved. Or something like that. Of course there was the whole name thing and lack of taxes paid. WHICH, IIRC, was how they got caught in the first place. Hence my comments on some things. But trust me, I'd make the same comments if they were Americans. You know them Canadians. Still gettin even for that whole Vietnam thing. They just happened to be Chinese. Or...Asian of some sort. I think the place was actually owned by Philipino's. Reopened now under new name and owners. At least the name is different. Hahaha!. (sorry. Couldn't resist)

Good Morning!! Coffee and a breakfast burrito please, thanks. Showers likely, with thunderstorms also possible after 10am. Cloudy, with a high near 70. South wind around 9 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Looks like the windows will go closed today if the humidity climbs to sticky inside level even if it’s cooler outside.

Galaxy- That gas deal you have with the store is actually very nice and I’d go to the store as well. 20 cents is a lot. Even ten cents. Around here, if you’re lucky to get any kind of deal it’s just a penny or two. Even Walmart/Murphy thing Jim spoke of is only a penny or two. Looks good on the sign, but it takes 50 to a hundred gallons to save a dollar. And at $3.95 a gallon…… $394, $395….$3.94, $3.95 hm, what to do. Don’t think I’ll go out of my way. I buy gas here in town. Same as Springfield and it costs about $8 I figure to make a round trip to Walmart and that is just inside edge of Springfield.
In faaaaact, the other day, Springfield prices were $3.99999999999.(at least they weren’t $4. Whew!) and Murphy/ Walmart was $3.97 or I think it was actually 98, Casey’s here was still $3.95.
Didn’t get anything done yesterday. nothing nada zip. Bad boy Watched Ziva on CBS.com, then thought….gee, I have more on DVD. Watched a few couple three episodes, went to town to get wood filler and something for fat baby dog. Came back, flopped back down in the easy chair and watched more episodes until I went to the restaurant at about 730.
Did eat at the Chinese buffet and was waited on by a very happy, well not overly happy, but smiley what ever her name is ( not sure the names on the tickets are real. They all have names like Nancy, Amy, Susan. Could be I suppose, but the lack of any even remotely Chinese sounding names is kinda suspicious) waitress.
“You want Dot-oh Pepp-oh Missa Peeb? I wait on you. Enjoy”
She has a very pretty smile. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because I give her an extra dollar, or she thinks we might have an extra room.
Ya’ll have a Great Day!!!

Good morning. It's 51° and partly cloudy. The high will be 78° and it'll be mostly sunny. Boy that's a welcome change!I saw in the reports this morning that we're under a flood warning. NO KIDDING! I wonder what their first clue was!Last night I took my KCS SW1500 off the display rack, gave it a quick servicing as it hasn't been run in more than a year then gave it a run on the layout, which I of course caught on video. Here's the link for that: KCS SW1500 4331.I didn't get much sleep last night. Around 4:00 am I woke up and went to turn over to get more comfortable. I did the old thing of pushing the right elbow into the mattress to roll over to the left. I've done I don't know how many times without any problem. This time however I managed to dislocate my right shoulder! Needless to say I was wide awake! Well, I did something that I've practiced before but never done. I did a SOLO relocation of the shoulder joint. One of the many things my mother taught me from her experience as a nurse of all things. Sometimes I wonder what she hasn't done. Anyway I was successful on the second try and the pain faded to a dull ache after ten or so minutes. It feels much better now but is still a little tender. That's not going to stop me from working on the layout. Now if my father calls me wanting me to do something, yeah, that would stop me.I hope everyone else has a great day. Prayers for those in need.
Good Morning All,
I see Bill is up and hard at it installing signals this morning. Interesting shot. Woulda thought a rail crane was used for those.
56F and foggy this morning. Wasn't as hot asup Galaxies' and Rays' way yesterday but we still set a record high at 65 for the year.
James - We're to go to Oz this December. When does all the weather fun usually start? First venue will be Eastern Creek then on to Ruapuna in New Zealand if all goes according to plan. We'll use a 40ft container to ship the cars and support equipment and use it as a garage during the trip(s).
Ken - You may be on to something. I have had my beard since I finished boot camp in the Navy and except for a brief thought about aircrew training never considered shaving it off. My old boss wouldn't hire me back with it when I was discharged so I just found other employment (his loss). Had a ponytail as well (what self respecting Rock and Roll muscian didn't in the 70's) until it went through a 911S upper pulley and I took that as a sign. When I hire I don't pay much attention to all that as long as people are neat and clean but I know many put a big emphasis on their interpertaion of grooming. How much do you want the promotion? Glad you're feeling better
Jeff - hope the weather stays dry long enough for your high water to recede. Talk about stopping a trian for a medical emergency!
Curt - very nice video and i love the overall look of the layout. Lots of attention lavished there.
Galaxy - hope you're feeling better today. Enjoy your climate change while you can. It'll start raining soon enough, no?
Time to head out to the shop and see what kind of trouble I can get into today...... CUL, J.R.

Evening all,
Well, MORE RAIN! We've had another 70mm today with another 150mm over night! So far we've had A WHOLE METRE of rain and we are only just over mid way through March. Our average ANNUAL rain fall is normally just over 1000mm. We are on track for bucket loads more this year.
JimCG and others asking about the Tornado :
There were around 20 minor to moderate injuries, no deaths.
Whilst it is fairly minor compared to some US tornadoes it is relatively rare for Tornadoes in Australia to strike Built up areas. It is only the third tornado to strike a built up area in Queensland, with a F2 hitting Brisbane (my home) in the 70's and the Bucca F4 tornado (the largest ever recorded in Australia) with suspected winds over 320km/h in the mid 90s.
The Townsville (my former home) storm hit in the early morning (5.20am) and to no warning apart from the few people who were awake or heard the howling winds. Some of you may be familiar that Townsville lies in the path of many tropical cyclones and has been devastated by many in the past but tornadoes are a different kind of problem. Many homes are built to withstand Category 4 cyclones, the winds generally come from one direction for long periods where as people know tornadoes throw violent winds around in a small radius coming from all directions, hence when TC Yasi struck north of Townsville as a strong Cat 4 with winds in Townsville approx 160km/h for several hours, nowhere near as much damage was done comared to the tornado which had 170+km/h winds, possibly more. Currently our Met bureau is analysing the damage and may upgrade to an EF3 which is quite significant for Australia.
Don't mean to bore everyone!!
Cheers,

Jeff, sorry to hear about your parents house! Please keep us updated on that. Our thoughts and prayers will be with them.
Teen Steam Fan, oh man I can imagine a 300M would be annoying to work on! I've worked a bit on front wheel drive cars before and it is NOT fun.
A good friend from MD is visiting tomorrow, someone I've known all my life so my plan will be to take him out to a good Thai food, no surprise, place for lunch and see a few things around Lancaster until I have to tutor tomorrow night and then get together with my lady.
I'm doing landscaping work for some friends of mine so that will help the finances a bit so I can hopefully move out of my parent's house this summer and continue to save until a good job is available.

evening
worked late with my dad on a Chrysler 300M. Pain in the rear car to work on, guy who owned it before has a bunch of ground effects on it. Had one of those fancy front bumpers on it. Hung maybe a few inches off the ground. In Illinois. With snow. What was this guy thinking?
aw well, wasn't my car, not my car, won't be my car
Jim- I'll show a picture of the car on the layout tomorrow night.
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!
Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
Ken... I have been following your work escapades, even if I have not said anything. I am always pulling for you to succeed. Yes, the hair can be a big thing. have the same haircut I had in the Navy, which by the way, was exactly the same as I had when I was a kid. I guess I am a short-haired kitty, eh?
Well trimmed and groomed goes a long way in business. When I got out of the Navy I let my hair grow and it was down to my shoulders. I went looking for a job and the man was up-front: "You cannot represent our company with hair like that!"
I said I would cut it. He said you cut it on your own, it is no guarantee that we will hire you.
Anyway, I returned to my Navy hair cut, and he hired me on the spot. This was of course many years before I grew a beard. But my beard is well trimmed, not groomed and fussed over but I do run over it with a #2 guard on the hair clipper to make it uniform. Fortunately, I do not have to please anybody.
