MLC4 .... Hold on to your hat!
Inch ..... It seems like everybody has trouble dealing with government agencies as you were explaining with your situation. Good luck..... Sorry you could not post when you tried. ..... Jeff may have ideas if you have more computer problems.... Glad Jerry is okay........ A chicago Dog and an RBF would be good right now.
Curt .... I like your building. Nice work. Thanks for the comments on my layout pictures.
Bill T .... I like the old historic photo of the depot. .... I see NS will have a Nickel Plate Road heritage locomotive.
Galaxy ... Sorry about your friend's elderly grandmother.
Terry .... I have acquired lots of locomotives. More than I need. I always get them for a good price. I love deals. If you want more NP locomotives search on Ebay for them.
Rob .... You mentioned cell phones. Do you even have a good signal in the country where you are located?
All of our military folks deserve thanks and praise regardless if Air Force, Marines, Navy, Army, Coast Guard.
Happy Model Railroading.

Mornin' everyone!
Zoe, I'll have a short stack of buckwheat pancakes with pure maple syrup and a pot of freshly dripped dark roast coffee for the moment. I'll be in the front booth this morning enjoying the nice day outside. Only a little over a week 'til we lose an hour of sleep you know!
Currently 44°F here in the Finger Lakes under mostly cloudy skies. High will be around 46°F. Right on the edge of where I don't light the wood stove..... May start it up and then just let it go out until this evening.
Hey guys, looks like the "Air Farce" done nailed one of them lion critters. I heard they keep track of "kills" by painting a picture of it on the side of the plane.......... Oh, and thanks to all who have served in any of the branches!
Sue, you must be quite a gal! Mountain Climbing, Model Railroading, and...... Sewing!
Got a bunch of things I want to get done today.... Very few in the "Must Do" category. Nice to have a day to be able to catch up with some things.
Later!

Flo, Coffee Please.
Todd I have no intentions of bring up cheating, or him hitting on customers at this point. Far as his cheating, I am just going by what he brag's about. But then again, he lies! I am going to stay out of the whole mess. Like I said, it will catch up with him on its own with no help from me.
Well we have a thunderstorm going right now. Sure hope it is over by the time I get to work. I hate trying to write on wet paper.

Strong coffee in a UNION PACIFIC mug, please.
I bought a used sports car. It has heavy metal teeth where the grill should be, no windshiled, no heat/AC, no spoiler, and doesn't even have tires. It is being delivered today. What was I thinking?
Hope everyone is having a good day.
Rob
Good morning, Chloe. I will have coffee and a waffle, please.
Flip, We are just 1 mile off I-5. No mountains for you to climb. Galaxy has not stated exactly where we are. I will look for a train theme location.
Curt, Great model. The AMB's that I have done went together well. I have done others that had backwards parts or missing parts, so I now lay everything out to check for that first. I had one that 1 of the floor sections was backwards. I chased those problems all the way through the kit. It is good thing for kitbashing.
Jeffrey, There is that Airstream again.
I am meeting some ladies, and we are off to the Sewing Expo today. It is at the same location as the big train shows.
Later, Sue
Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Good Morning!! Coffee and scrambled eggs and….wait. On second thought, I’ll have eggs Benedict please. Thanks. Showers and thunderstorms likely before 3pm, then a chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high near 55. I guess I have been in this neck of the woods. But I really don’t count several times I’ve been to Sea-Tac. Pretty much just sat in the airport the whole time waiting for the Freedom Bird to take me to the magic land of Kimshee. I don’t recall even going outside…..hm. Had too. I smoke. Odd I wouldn’t remember that. Whoa, whoa, whoa….Ken- I’m not upset, so don’t get me wrong. And usually if it looks like a skunk and smells like a skunk it’s probably a skunk, but accusing someone of an affair or cheating is dangerous. I’ve been on the receiving end of THAT and I tell you it’s not fun. Sure all the signs are there, they were for me too I admit (though I wouldn’t say I “hit” on another woman) but still. I used to be late sometimes and I still am. I do have a couple of girl friends I am fairly close to and I guess sometimes you could get the wrong impression. My disappear time was spent at a bar with friends and accuantences and yes I kinda kept my wife in the dark, but not for cheating purposes, for “me time” reasons. Brenda did not understand the need for some away from you time. She felt that meant I lost interest in her so I couldn’t say what or where. She would stick with me like a lost pup. In hindsight it should have been a discussion, but it wasn’t and that was my mistake. Some folks who new part of it kinda helped my wife “see” what was going on and of course their suspisions were wrong. THAT was a while getting out of that but the damage was done and now, Brenda knows where I am almost at all times. And yes I do have my free time, but she knows where I am. My point is, I know you’re upset with the guy, but be careful on certain accusations. No this isn’t a chewing out, but if not true, it can actually backfire on you. At any rate, the flirting with customers and the staff that he is supervising or has seniority with some power over is wrong and should be dealt with appropriately. Just be careful of the cheating word. Just friendly advice. Observe caution. Floor Wars Williamsville: Phase….I lost track - Got the call yesterday. Cabinets can be picked up Monday. Once I get those installed, the dining room and table can be emptied into the cabinets and we can resume some semblance of normality. Though normality for us is…, the table is a flat spot and therefore becomes a strategic drop zone for anything to be set down to the point it gets so full it’s unusable. So it’s not really a matter of getting the table cleared off as much as making room for different stuff on the table. Same with the kitchen counter. Oh! Thunder. Storms are to the south of us. Supposed to stay there and nothing severe predicted for here, but still I think I’ll power down the communicator to the world now just in case. Ya’ll have a Great Day!!!

KEN,,,,,,, small head + small mind = ends up in big pile doo-doo
I got a letter in the mail the 28’th from S.S. that my disability is under review and to fill out a bunch of papers and return by Mar 1’st, [it was mailed on the 22’nd] and if I don’t return it, I get shut off. Tried to call them n tell’em, “it ain’t happenin folks”, after I pressed one for English, I got please leave message”. Then call the doc offices to get some info I need, their busy “can you call back tomorrow”.
So bout 9 yesterday I started back with phone calls, beat head against wall, get writer cramps, but I think I got it done, maybe not right, but done. If they decide I can still work, then I start all over again. The last time took 3 year.
I did finally got a call back from S.S. [after2 more messages]. They gave me another 10 days and said I could just mail it back, rather than find a ride to the Terre Haute office. I told her I’d find a ride and hand deliver it. DIL is taking me over this morning.
The info they wanted is doc visits, hospital stays an such for the last year, which is the best I’d had in a spell. No hospital stays and not many doc visits. If they just go by that, then I can ah, well as the girl at VA records ask “do you remember how to drop’em, bend over, smile n cough”.
Other than a trip to Terre Haute, not much planned, maybe I play choo-choos, till this evening, G-son’s last B-ball game in Paris, a stop at Kroger afterwards
Thoughts n prayers for those in need n Hope ya’ll has a gooden
Morning All,
Not much planned for today other than grocery shopping and building a larger AMB kit. After signing off last night I built a large shack (lack of better name) that I think will become the coal trestle office instead of the plastic box car office I have now. I will take pics later.
Everyone take care.

Curt: Great work on the building kit.
Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
Evening All,
Had a good day today. I went up to Flip's hobby shop. I really enjoyed myself. He had a wide selection, a lot of Pennsy loco's and very knowledgeable. We talked for about 15 minutes about layouts, DCC, and sound loco's. The shop was busy with a lot of regulars (very good sign). I bought a PRR stock car kit, a sedan for the layout, and some couplers. I got home and was authorized by MOH to buy a Atlas RS-1 (been looking at it for months) and I will take it to Jon (owner) to install sound in it. After getting home I built the kit and built one of the AMB kits.
Garry- Great modeling. I am always impressed when I see your layout.
Lion- I really like the track shots.
Galaxy- Prayers for your friends family on their Grandmothers passing.
Sue- You were right. It was enjoyable to build a kit that actually fit together well. I did put a different sign on the front.
Everybody have a good night and prayers for those in need.
Went to the parents place for dinner today. It started as stew, many things were added and ended up as General Sherman's Breakfast. Onions and homemade cornbread. Delicious!
Jeff- No problem getting the post Saving it for reference. Thanks for being a friend and a terrific modeler. Yes it's your RR and you can weather to your hearts content but 99% of my cars are CLEAN. Thenagain, it is MY RR. lol Keep posting and modeling. You are an inspiration
Warmest regards,Phil
fec153 Jeff-Thankyou for the reply.
Jeff-Thankyou for the reply.
GARRY- Great looking grandson. Handsome fella.
Curt- Thankyou for your reply. [ Lion,you can "ROAR" in anytime] The reason I asked ,re-EMT and PARAMEDIC, at dialysis, a patient had an episode, four nurses were working on him and they called 9-1-1. The first responders got there in a fire truck.Two men came in and worked on the man and five minutes later an ambulance pulled up,and two more men came in. They calmed him down,put onto gurney and went to the hospital.
How close to Sue are we? Do we have to climb a mountain to reach her???
Just about time to get a shower and go beddyby Prayers and Blessings to all.
Oh,doggone. Forgot to tell youuns how great your layouts are. To those who can and do, Thanks for sharing.

Our 'train nut' friend's grandmother passed away yesterday. Thoughts and prayers for her passing, please. SHe was 95 years young and ready to go. is brother adn a hospice agent was there when she passed while he was "indisposed"at the time. He will miss her sorely.
WEnt to see MOH's new store. Really impressive and larger than it looks! It wil give another local chain a run for its money!
The manager is cutting to skeleton crew which will backfire on him if he is nto carefull. The new store may bring increased revenues which will look good, but will also require mroe personelle to run!
Went to Sam's club and man, that plain concrete floor is murder on my back!!! Good thing we got in, got what we wanted, and got out!
Well, I feel like i have posted this already, but maybe its just that i thought I did. OPld timers disease, you know.
Evenin' folks!
Chloe, I'll have the New York Strip Steak with a baked potato and a trip the salad bar to start with tonight, and a cup of fresh brewed decaf as well.... I'll be in the back both getting warm.
Well, Ken, just make sure you stay out of the line of fire! I don't mean THAT figuratively either. Guy sure ain't no Eagle Scout I guess, (or if he is somebody better tell national so they can pull it)!
I spent much of the day running errands. Made an appointment for my hearing test(s) to get new hearing aids. THAT will occupy an afternoon later this month. I kept trying to call the place and got a message to leave a message.... Went to the website and they have a "To talk to an Audiologist cal 866 -XXX-XXXX. No thanks, I think as that usually means you get a "Harohh, Ha areu?" On the other end from some 15¢ per hour person over in the very far... Or some, "if you are calling to hear advertisements, please press 1 now...." Turns out you get the receptionist at one of their two offices. So when i got my allergy shot, I walked down about 200 feet to where the audiologist's office is and made the appointment in person, face to face, with a real live human being. BTW, I had already spent a half hour trying to call Rite Aid Pharmacy to refill a couple Rx's. You have to sit and listen to some advertising (mostly about how you can get your flu shot at any time there and protect yourself and your loved ones from the harmful effects of having the ..........................), later they give you the for another ad press 1 now. I really hate telephones!!! Also made a bank run to deposit some $$$ in the MLK Account, and a couple other places. Finally I stopped and got gas..... You know, I like my little Yaris more and more....
I am now going to return to the cellar and do a few hobby items with all my spare time!
cudaken So the way I look at it with I am The Larry greed and thinking with his small head and not his big head it is just a matter of time before he self destructs and goes Boom! I just hope to be around to enjoy the show!

Larry World / Work Front. As we all know, Larry has no Moral's. Well he is cheating on his wife, I heard him tell her that he had to work till 9:00 PM Wednesday, he left at 4:00 PM. Hum, what can you say. He has added a new twist, He Is Hitting On Are Female Customers Now Including The Married One's! Boy that is going to blow up in his faces!
But, it even gets better! He is cheating the ones he is hitting on! Case in point, woman that he tried to take for a ride on his Chopper has been a long time customer. He told her she need tires (and a ride on his chopper) She said she bought her tires from us not that long ago and wanted to know if the new tires would be prorated, he said he could not find any records on are computer and sold her the new tires at full cost.
Now I heard him hit on her, but not about the tires being bought from us. When I cashed her out she asked me about her records? Not knowing what had went on, I found her old records and printed them out for her. She asked about the Prorate and told her she have to take it up with I am The Larry Thursday! Now I am The Larry may be able to wiggle out of this one, but it will catch up with him!
Next, the new hired help! Remember when I told you about the girl that I am The Larry hired and quit the next day? Well I meet the new sale woman / girl yesterday that I am The Larry hired! She is a dead ringer for the first one he hired! If I did not know any different I would swear they where the same person! I will add both looked better suited to be a waitress at Hooter's than selling tires. Now don't get me wrong, there is no reason a 5'4" Buxom (think that is the right word), Burnett 20 year old female cannot sale tires! But give me a break! I sure bet he did not hire them because of there sale back ground! If they did not look like twins, well maybe.
Latter, Ken
Hey, Chloe, that was good pasta for lunch.
Garry, Great shot of the grandson.
Curt, You will like the AMB laser kits. They are very straight forward.
