Good Morning! from Tipton IN.
TIPTON
Is this some automated post or something? This is the same post everyday for over a month. Nothing else, just Good Morning! from Tipton IN.
G'd Morning Guys and Gals,
This question pops up from time to time but nothing ever changes.
The posting in question is indeed a real one, posted by our good friend Bill Tidler Jr. from Tipton Ind.
He is always one of the early postings of the day, always raises his cup to us and fills us in on the weather down his way.
I have seen him reply to other posts but not very often. He is in that somewhat gray area between a poster and a lurker, but leans more toward a poster. We are glad to have him on board with us, but we do wish he would speak up more often and a little louder for those of us that are somewhat hearing impaired.
The big question at present is >>> How close is Tipton to Marysville Ind. ? Hopefully not on the flight path of that Tornado.
Hope all is well with you there Bill......................

***Ray, excellent work!
***Ken, you sound relieved. Without I Was The Larry, whose feet will you bow down to and worship there? Kidding aside, your job will be more enjoyable now.
Tornado siren went off once last night. No damage. Not so for folks elsewhere. Will walk the farm later to check for any new downed trees or branches on fences. Don't expect to find any.
Have a good day all.

I was also wondering this TA462, It always says the same thing every morning but I have never see this user in any other model railroading thread?
GOOD MORNING!!!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

Ken: I was wondering what that mushroom cloud over your area was. Must have been the Larry going ka-boom!
Ray: Great work on the powerhouse!
Couldn't sleep so I've been watching some old movies and some How It's Made show, mostly ones dealing with railroad products. Also changed the dressing and wrapping on my foot instead of waiting until later this morning. A dressing and wrapping with proper cleaning and antibiotic lasts three days. Still it doesn't hurt if it's changed a few hours earlier or later unless it starts hurting a lot. That indicates something is amiss and needs tending to.

Evening Fellow Dinners!
First let me say Thank You for all that where worried about me! And payers for the poor souls that live in Marysville Ind.
Flo, Beer please, and a round for the house!

Reason I am in such a good mood? Larry went BOOM! Seems our company has deiced that there Area Supervisors need to run shops besides running there area. (still don't understand there thinking) So Dave is now the shop manager. He is all so digging through all the old tickets to see what I Was The Larry has done crooked. While Larry still has a job, he was mumbling I don't need this poop most of the day!
He all so had two complaint customers today! One had brakes installed 3 weeks a go and they have called corporate, way to go Larry!
His new sales woman? Well she was not there today, seems I Was The Larry has start her with out any approval from the Corporation or taking her drug test.
So it looks like the shop will not be Larry's World and I am The Larry, will just be plain old Larry. His rain of Evil is over.
Only possible down side for me is I could pretty much work as much over time I wanted. Dave will more than likely will watch the hours I work and not let me get the OT I was getting. That will hurt with my base pay being only $300.00 week for 40 hours.
It may well be worth it not to hear I Was The Larry hit on the female customers and him telling them about his Chopper!
See you all Saturday!
Ken
I hate Rust
Evenin' folks!
Janie, just a decaf for me at the moment. I'll be in the back keeping warm.
I was just about ready to start supper tonight when my son called ans asked what I was doing. He was cooking Tilapia and wanted to know if I wanted to come over for supper. I never turn down an offer like that so I had a nice dinner there. Today I did the unthinkable.... I canceled my TV part of the cable service. What will I replace it with? Why, nothing at all!!! haven't watched for over 10 years, why should I start now? It will save me $70 a month not to have it hooked, and If I should absolutely need to see commercials, there are certainly enough right here on the internet! I will be keeping my internet service and telephone with them.
I even got some hobby stuff done today. Completed and installed some "Iron" downspouts for the flat roofs on the powerhouse. Painted them flat black after making them, then rusted them up a bit with some weathering powders:
Then installed them:
Need to go back and correct one that is a bit too high, but I think they work even if they are grossly oversized......... These are a scale 9" wide and the prototype are only about 6".... Yes, I know I am a rivet counter.
Have a great night, and a safe night everyone! Those of you in the path of bad storms are in my prayers tonight. Prayers for those who have lost so much in the tornadoes earlier today!

Evening All,
It's been a good MRR'ing day today. I decided to give the electrical problem another try this morning, so armed with a volt meter and a jumper wire with alligator clips I determined the issue and fixed it. It required removing and reinstalling a 6 inch section of track that I had isolated and solder power leads on it. Viola...it worked several times each possible way a loco could go through without issue. The reason I consider this is important is that this is the first electrical problem that I have trouble shot and fixed on my own.
After that I went grocery shopping at Wally World where there were cashiers with no customers (hard to believe) I came home installed 4 ground throws and rusted the track. Tomorrow I plan on ballasting the track wile MOH is attending a quilting clinic.
I also finished the 3rd AMB kit tonight. I posted pictures in WPF.
I'm glad Ken wasn't effected by the tornadoes, but am saying prayers for the families that have lost everything including loved ones.
Inch- Good luck dealing with SS.
Todd- Your DR table story reminds me of one. We were putting new carpet in the spare bedroom (our junk room) and the DR table was overloaded and the runners underneath the table broke under the weight. MOH was to say the least. I ended up screwing 2x4's under the table which works but the table does not expand now
Have a good night and prayers for those in need.

Time for me to call it a night. Another line of thunder boomers coming in to spoil the night. See y'all tomorrow.
Mint tea, please.
My neighbor up the hill called as she always does when these kinds of storms are about. We're each others "search and rescue", worse case scenario. The first cell is past, no damage here. Have almost 50 minutes before the next red blob hits. Wearing my shoes with an emergency napsack at the head of the stairs in case there is a need to duck into the basement. It's the old eagle scout in me: "Be Prepared!"
Hope everyone is OK out there!
Jeff ... Ken should be fine. He's in Illinois not Indiana. .... Glad the storms passed you. .... Still too windy here, but we're fine.

The storms here have passed. Radar shows relatively clear.
Hope we hear something from Ken soon, even an OUCH.
Marysville, Indiana .... Not Illinois ........
Looks very bad there.
last mountain & eastern hogger Hey Gang, Would you all keep an ear to the ground as to the state of our Buddy Cuda- Ken, we just had a clip on the news here that Maryville IL. has pretty well been wiped off the map. Sure hope it isn't so and that there has been an error, but this usually isn't the case. Prayers and Blessings to all in the storms path. Johnboy out...................................and Awaiting some replies.

Cederstrand ***Roar, only if a big enough Tornado comes along. Now where did you find that pic? I know Bobcats can fly, but that one is getting some serious hang time. Scrambled egg whites with onions and a coffee refill, please. Rob

I took the picture right here. We needed the machine in the courtyard, and so the contractor simply lifted it over the top of the building.

Cederstrand Toooo funny, they just added a 4th alert here, this time for "Local Pollen". Gee, with tornadic storms about, I wonder how many folks will be concerned over local pollen? Rob

Rob, you're right - that is sooo funny - I guess they have an abundance of weather people in your area? Besides, it's in the country, you expect there to be stuff that creates pollen there! (Well, let me back up on that - any *normal* person - with half a brain - would expect there to be pollen in the countryside...)
Jim in Cape G.
***Jim, the (HO) layout is growing up a bit. A lot of debauchery taking place. Fortunately, it is out of view from the parade goers and children. I'll need to take a pic of what's going on next time I'm down there. As for the (N) layout, not a thing to report on.
Getting lots of rain here. I thought I was hearing thunder. Turns out it was a massive amount of rain hitting the roof. Never seen it rain that hard before. Rain chance went from 40% to 70% and we're under a severe thunderstorm watch until 9 pm. I'll be shutting the computer down shortly.

Must have its 'Air Jordans' on, Rob...
Hi Zoe, yep, sorry I've been away (again). But you missed the tornado party we had around our parts. Of course, all I saw (while I was doing laundry late this morning (okay, mid-day) was a lot of rain, wind and some hail (but no noticeable damage to my car ). I'll have a BLT, some cheesey fries and a RBF, please, in honor of our early spring (even here in the Northwest). Thanks!
And everybody to the east of me, watch out as this front moves through! After Johnboy emailed me, I figured I'd better check in here (while everyone was counting noses, so to speak).
Found out that the Diner bookmark I had saved to my desktop was... uh, OLD! (like about 30+ pages behind, and I know I've posted twice since THAT bookmark) Saw that I had missed Rob getting the farm paid off (not to be confused with his 'buying the farm', which could be taken a couple of ways...), and I missed Sue's birthday (my apologies and a very belated to the birthday gal)
Ulrich, that German rail bus that you mentioned (that Jeff had posted the photo of) sounds sorta like the German equivalent of the Budd RDC units (which are a bit of a favorite of mine).Wonder if they sounded the same, since both had similar power mechanisms, I think. And it did my heart good to see your mood get turned around after that job interview/physical!
Galaxy, sorry to hear about your 'trainnut' friends grandmother passing, but it does sound like she had lived a long and full life.
I see that Todd has been busy enjoying his 'holiday' from the Williamsville FLOOR WARS (by doing absolutely nothing! I am envious! ) And Todd, I won't tell Brenda that you managed to NOT do anything for a day (hate to see you all black and blue..). Oh, hey, yesterday I noticed that some new construction here at the edge of town looks like it will be a Menard's (lumber & hardware store). Should give our Lowe's and local lumber/hardware places a run for their money (and maybe lower prices next time I need to get MRR'ing materials)
David, congratulations on your moving into the wonderful world of W**K. (I think...) Several others have given you some good suggestions for your new position there (especially about treating the people well 'downstream' of you, which I don't think will be too hard for you).
Darren, was that Coors reefer car an older Roundhouse one, by any chance? Looks nice, whoever made it.
Broadway - how's the housing in SOUTH Dakota? Maybe Ulrich could commute from there to w**k? And hey - did you really have a Lion on the side of your Phantom, or did you PhotoShop that on?
Garry - excellent shot of that North Coast Limited (and of your grandson, of course)! Hope you're dodging this storm front moving through today.
Jeff, you're gonna get me convinced into getting one of those AIrstreams, if you keep posting those great pics of yours.
Terry, keep your pics coming - love 'em! (And, is that grain elevator in your 'siding meet' photo an actual structure, or is it on the backdrop?)
Curt, like that AMB kit you posted. I have a couple/few laser kits (different brands), but haven't started on them just yet. (No excuse; just haven't started...)
Inch/Mike, good to see you stop by (and, to hear how Jerry & Sallie are doin'). (Although I'm sure it's against their usual procedures...) Hope that Social Insecurity has somebody with real sense reviewing your case and that you get re-approved until the next round in who-knows-how-many years... Your kids 'n' grandkids still doing well (and you and Debbie still a'sitting for them)? And that's a bunch of hail in your picture!
Rob, at least you had the farm paid off before you got your 'sports car'.... (You had me going before you posted the pic of it, you rascal!). What's new with the layout(s), by the way?
Ray, sounds like Sue has a well-rounded set of hobbies/interests, all right! Of course, you keep pretty busy yourself, between community activities, Scouts, and MRR'ing.
Ken, your "I-A-L" guy sounds like one of those - y'know, who keep on acting 'stupid' and do NOT learn much at all in their life. They tend to end up reaping about what they're sowing (and I do not mean 'wild oats', either...) As you said, just stay out of his way and wait to watch the big fall that is gonna be coming for him.[:-O]
Hmm, never heard of a flying bobcat (until now)...
This morning, went by and got two new tires put on the car (after the old ones were taken off), and after that, took laundry to the washeria for the weekly necessaries. While I was there was when the storm front/hail/rain-deluge/tornado (two supposed sightings in the area) came through. I was checking the radar using both my laptop and the (WiFi) iPod, and once the nasty parts of the front got close to Cape, it moved over/past us fairly quickly. Seemed like it had been slower when it was further out in the next county (but I could be wrong). A bit before I got my laundry done (power never did quit there, even when the worst of the storm was moving through), it had cleared off and the sun came back out again. Thank Heaven for that!
After laundry got taken home, I went and got a new pair of tennies (old ones were getting too loose on my feet). Was about to get another pair of pants for w**k/general wear, but when I stuck my hands in the pockets in the changing room (I always check the pockets on pants before I buy them), the one pocket felt like it had been 'short-sheeted' on me. [:-O] Turned out, when they had done the little 'staple' stich to reinforce the outside corner of that pocket, they hadn't checked that the pocket lining was out of the way. So no luck on finding a pair to fit me. (If I could loose about six inches around my waist, I might have more available pants in my size, but that would take a while...)
Order from Walthers came in today (some figures, couple of Floquil colors, as well as Dewie's Dozer, Paul's Produce and some other detail stuff), and last week I had got some turnouts while Walthers had the track on sale. Today or tomorrow I want to figure a good color of 'faded red' to paint the elevator kit I started on a while back. And reading about our Diners putting together their laser-cut kits has me thinking about those ones I haven't started, too...
Think I'll have another RBF please, Zoe. Thanks again.
Prayers for safety of those in the path of this storm front, for healing and rest, and for some fun time (MRR'ing and/or other) this weekend for all the Diners (present/accounted for, or MIA's).
Blessings,
Cederstrand ***Inch, how big is that hail? ***Roar, it just occurred to me, my Bob-cat is bigger than your cats. Probably quieter, too. Now under a Tornado Watch, Flash Flood Watch, and Wind Advisory here. Rob

Eh... Do you have a FLYING BOBCAT???
INch, yeah it was nasty here, lots and lots of hail clearing now.
Coffee refill, please.
***Garry, signal is OK depending on the phone and company. Since I no longer have one, it doesn't matter to me.
Looks like plenty of severe weather out there. Tonight could be interesting here, too. YeeHaw!
OK, the used sports car has been delivered and I have a pic of it to share. As I said, no windshield, no tires and no spoiler. However, it with do the quarter mile in "under 5". OK, so that's 5 minutes, not seconds.
Hope to be up to using it soon, as there is a ton of stuff that needs doing here, like over 200 stumps and many drainage ditches to be dug out.
Will be in the corner booth awhile. If I nod off, please let me be. Rob
Lay low and be safe!
