Paul, I’m glad to hear your wife is doing better, but staying in the hospital for an extra 48 hours is the pitts. What version of JMRI did you download? I can’t get it to run on my 64 bit WIN7 machine.

Morning Folks,
Currently 54 with an expected high of 90 and humidity 49, which is kind of high for us.
Jeff- sorry to hear your mom may have took a turn for the worse.
Jeremy -Be yourself, answer questions truthfully, look 'em in the eye, and you should be fine.
Chris - I have drawn plenty of plans for my layouts over the years, and have never stuck to one. I usually use them as a rough guide and then build as I go. It may not be the way the "experts" do it, but it has worked for me.
Colonoscopy on my wife did not show where she was bleeding from, but as of last night it stopped. Doc will not discharge her unti she has not been bleeding for 48 hrs, and he may want to hold off of the next chemo treatment until he sees how she is doing with all the othe stuff.
I have the day off so I have to cut the green stuff in the front yard, do laundry, and some general house cleaning, then off to the hospital.
After two downloads of JMRI, and a check on Digitrax web site to install the driver for the PR 3 on my new lap top, everything is working as of right now.
Prayers to all in need
Mornin' everyone!
Zoe I'll have a bowl of the Organic Pomegran Cherry Granola cereal with blueberries added and a cup or two (Maybe 3) of my dark roast coffee in a R&GV RR Mug.
Nice bright sunny day here in the Finger Lakes in NYS today. Temperature is 57°F with a high in the low 80's later this afternoon. I have a Dermatologist Appt. and then an Appointment for a service for the Yaris after that in Canandaigua this afternoon.
It's official! # cars from the New York Central Empire State Express we are restoring at the R&GV RR Museum will be used for an excursion on the LA&L (which goes right by the museum on what used to be Erie tracks). It is open to the public. Date is Saturday, October 27. The cars will be pulled by 2 of the LA&L's pristine Alcos! More information can be found here: http://rgvrrm.blogspot.com/2012/09/rare-mileage-fan-trip-oct-27.html It is filling up fast. Only made public a couple days ago and there 75 people already paid for the trip....
Barry, there are 18 panels. They want to be positioned on the roof to make the best use of available sunshine so no panels will be placed on the other side of the roof. The installer should be finished by noon today (or so he thinks). The Code officer will do final photos and look around late this afternoon hopefully after I get back from Canandaigua.
Have a good and safe day!

Chris: One of the things I learned from the many books I've read about making scenery is not to let any one part of the scenery, be it a forest, structure, etc, dominate the layout. Everything else becomes a slave to it and suddenly the trains aren't the focal point anymore and the purpose here is to have the trains as the focal point. The scenery is set dressing and the trains are the actors. The actors can't do their job of getting the attention of those viewing the layout if they're lost amidst the scenery. Sometimes the thing to do is to make the huge items a bit smaller to keep them from making the rest of the layout looking smaller.

Good morning. It's 65°, partly cloudy with a small chance of rain. High of 88°, wind SW at 5 to 10 mph.Not feeling good this morning but what else is new. Plan for today is to stay inside and catch up on my movie watching. Layoutwise there are no new projects to work on so I see no reason to mess with it. If I feel better later I might get some scenery materials out, at least what little I have and see what I can do. I have some trees on the layout that the foliage has rotted away, they need some attention. Humidity here is murder on scenery.

Jeff, I know, I’ve led a sheltered life….
Sorry to hear about your mom, hopefully Doc can help her out, let us know how things go.
I did go in search of a Gooseberry pie, even going to the Gooseberry River north of Duluth, MN. Just south of the river I found a roadside pie restaurant. Yes I said PIE and they served almost every kind of pie in 2 pound slices. I asked if they had Gooseberry and they laughed at me so then I asked for Rhubarb Pie and they had never heard of that either….
Tom it’s not just family trying to ruin our plans. I’ve been trying to go to the Lodi Train Show for 3 years now and every year something pops up. This year I have to take Katje to the vet so I’m going to try to sneak out Sunday for the second day of the show.

Wherein we can has one of those days of heat some haze and a bit of humidity for our viewing pleasure. Supposed to go to 82F for the high feeling like 88F today....
today will be our BBQ day as well as relaxing from a day of doctor appointments and various other things...my CT scan is scheduled for next month....
Ray: The solar panel installation looks good from here...are they doing the back part as well?
Chris: Elevator G looks like it will dominate any corner of that layout...more like the so called Purina plant did to Woodstock ON....

GOOD MORNING!!!
Anything that doesn't agree with our ways or thinking,
we may think of as BLADERDASH!!! SO:
balderdash - nonsense - nowadays balderdash means nonsense, but it meant ribaldry or jargon at the time of Brewer's 1870 dictionary. A still earlier meaning of the word was more precisely 'a jumbled mixture of words', and before that from Scandinavia 'a mixture'. Skeat's 1882 dictionary provides the most useful clues as to origins: Scandinavian meanings were for 'poor stuff' or a 'poor weak drink', which was obviously a mixture of sorts. In Danish 'balder' was noise or clatter, and the word danske was slap or flap, which led to an older alternative meaning of a 'confused noise', or any mixture. Certain dictionaries suggest an initial origin of a frothy drink from the English 16thC, but this usage was derived from the earlier 'poor drink' and 'mixture' meanings and therefore was not the root, just a stage in the expression's development

Good evening, plate of cheeseburgers and a tall, cold 7-Up please 'n thank-you.
JEFF: Sorry to hear the latest on your Mom...thoughts and prayers continue for her. Thanks for the kind words on Elevator G, it's got a long way to go. Just trying to get smooth joints on the silos has resulted in a lot of "fun." I can't wait until I join the three sides of the main building (scotch tape is holding it together currently, for planning purposes).
Here's a "how I'm doing it" shot, now THAT Photobucket is functional again...
And a shot of the real thing:
As you can see, it kinda dominates the neighborhood.
Even with a 30" deep shelf, it still eats up quite a bit of real estate. The other sections of the plant will be much "flatter" flats. Although I did have a crazy idea of making the "sub-attic" habitable and building more of the plant in there. Maybe after all of the other home improvements are taken care of (in about 100 years), I can go and do THAT.
I know I'm not planning this layout as the experts would recommend, and it may bite me in the butt. However, drawing plans hasn't gotten me anywhere thus far other than up to my eye brows in frustration. I know what I want to do, I know what kind of space I have...I just have to knock stuff together to see how it all fits, or not. The good thing is, mock-ups (like the IC/ICG/CCP roundhouse) are mere cardboard. I'm only out some time with those. IF my plans go to crap..."Elevator G" can become part of something else, or even sold-off if need-be.
Speaking of selling, did I mention I have a factory-new in the un-opened box Walthers ADM Elevator available? *hint hint hint*
Have a good night folks, best wishes for all in need and a dose of good luck to those needing some of THAT too!

Time for me to call it a night. I had intended to work on the tractor today. I got down there and started getting the tools together and my body said 'Oh no you don't!'. My energy was gone and my get up and go got up and went. So I got some laundry done then went back home. Tonight my father and I went to KFC for dinner. It gave him a good chance to tell me that my mother is getting bad off again. She has another abdominal infection flaring up and they're trying to head it off before it gets too bad. He has to take her to Alexandria tomorrow to see a doctor there. So far that;s all the information I have. See y'all tomorrow.
howmusJeremy, just remember that an interview is a two way street. You are interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing you. Most of it is just keeping everything in prospective. They are interested in you just as much as you are interested in them, or you wouldn't be getting the interview. Put your best foot forward and just be your self!
Thanks Ray I appreciate the kind words. I will try to remember that on Thursday.
Evenin' folks!
Flo, I'll have the BBQ Chicken with Yellow Squash Casserole, and a slice of fresh Cantaloupe for supper tonight. Since it's cool outside, I think I could go for a cup of decaf along with the meal...

Got a bit of ballasting done today on the upper staging. Little by little... I also took my little trailer down to the local independent Tire store to get it inspected. Took about 30 seconds since it doesn't have brakes. Thursday I will be loading up the Log Splitter at my son's house so I can take it out to the museum this Saturday.
Progress happened again to day with the Solar panel installation:
The lady next door just walked by while I was turning the chicken on the grill. She was walking her dog and gave me a big thumbs up and said she likes the combination and it looks great on the new roof. Been quite a few gawkers driving by this evening...
Catch up to you all a bit later!
Hi Guys
I need some advice from you guys who are more experienced in the workforce then I am. I am 30 years old and have only ever had two jobs in my life. One I started when I was 16 until I was 20 and the other from when I was 20 until I was 30.
Well Thursday I have a job interview, unfortunately its through a temp agency but the job will be close to 45 hours a week and after three months I would be hired on. I have to admit right now Im nervous about the interview and job. I have always been uncomfortable around new people and new surroundings so yeah a new job kind of freaks me out. Would you guys have any advice on how to stay calm and get through it. Im really not looking forward to this....
Jeremy
On the railroad front I havent done much at all lately. I have been trying to work on the railroad and my RC tanks today to calm my nerves but its not working very good. I know people here are always friendly and do a good job on cheering people up so I could use some calming words.
I guess when it comes down to it though at least I have a job ( possibly, if I don't fail the interview somehow,lol )
Chris: Elevator G is looking good. Photobucket had a server crash last week so they're probably still having a few problems with it.
Dan, you ARE the Man! Have a on me and Rerun. I didn't think or expect you were gonna go searching, so appreciate it greatly.
Now if you can get Photobucket to complete their "maintenance," then people can see what Elevator G looks like...
It looks like the wheels/pit rail will be tough. I see he went with cut stone pit walls, the IC used timbers. Where Mr. B. went with a truss, I'll use girders... oy vey! Darned prototype-based modeling!!!

No hurry, THAT's on the "sometime in the next millenium" list. Back to w**k I go... Chris *insert eight-ball here when Photobucket comes back to life* ***EDIT*** Top. OK guys and gal, order up! But I should warn Flo, Janie and the rest...my credit card is in the Photobucket, and it ain't w**kin... 'eh 'eh 'eh.

AmanaMedic If anybody knows of a way to convert the Atlas turntable from THAT weird...flat style it is, to a normal bridge type, I'd appreciate it. I "need" a 9-inch turntable, but as-is, the Atlas won't do the job: it looks nothing like any turntable I've ever seen. I'd like to use the Atlas if possible, due to the low initial cost.

Will take a lot of digging through old posts ... but I seem to remember that either Selector or Mr. B (or one of the other "big posters") did just that.
Here's what Elevator G looks like so far:
I need to see exactly how much space it will take up, THAT will determine where the IC/ICG/CCP roundhouse will go, along with the ex-RI CNW mainline and tracks leading off to the CCP, etc. Already I see I'll need to add a little triangle of plywood (to be covered with foam later) for the IC/ICG/CCP structure. As for the elevator itself, I need to fabricate the third wall, paint/install windows and doors, procure more styrene strips, paint the main structure a weathered concrete, paint the silos flat white, fabricate the head house (on top of the silos) and figure out how to make the neon Quaker Oats sign THAT goes on the far end of the silos/head house.
In other words, there is a lot of w**k left to do on it. Fortunately, I'm in no hurry. The kits themselves have been sitting on my shelf for 2 and 3 years respectively (Christmas gifts). I have a third I don't think I'll need, still sealed if anybody needs a grain elevator...
Chris (in Iowa) *eight ball goes here, Photobucket crapped-out***
EDIT: Photobucket took the big dump...I was gonna just delete this, don't see a way to do THAT. Maybe Photobucket will be resuscitated, and all will be well.
Good afternoon: 9-11-01 never forget-never forgive.
Today's weather is a carbon copy of what we had on that fateful day. I was w**king at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids as the EMS Education Assistant, the "company clerk" of the EMS training programs. One of my program directors hollered out from his office asking if I knew anything about a plane hitting the World Trade Center. A quick internet check confirmed breaking news that yes, it was true. At first we dismissed it as a fluke, probably a small plane. Heck, the Empire State Building was once hit by a B-25, so we figured it was probably foggy and somebody had gotten lost and smacked the Twin Towers.
We quickly found out how wrong we were.
At the time I was a firefighter-Iowa Paramedic Specialist with the Springville Volunteer Fire Dept. We had digital pagers, and therefore could use them for personal messages as well. My Chief put out a department-wide page saying "If you're not aware of what is going on, I advise you to turn on the TV or a radio. WE ARE AT WAR!" Well, that got our attention! We grabbed a TV out of the conference room just in time to watch the second plane hit.
No w**k was done the remainder of the day. We had an EMT-Basic class going on in the classroom building behind ours. There was a hasty discussion as to wether or not the class should continue or dismiss, we weren't sure if the college was going to close or what. Confusion reigned. While having a smoke with my program directors, it hit me: the lady I was engaged to (a Sgt. and medic with the Iowa Army Nat. Guard) would be deployed. It wasn't a question of "if," but "when." "I'm sending my fiance' to war."
We watched the towers collapse, a textbook perfect "pancake collapse" if ever. We knew there would be tremendous casualties among our Fire and EMS brothers and sisters.
All of the salaried staff cleared out throughout the afternoon. I, as the lowest man on the totem pole, had to stay until 5pm. I'm pretty sure I was the only one left in the building when the coverage cut to the Pentagon and a group of firefighters climbing an aerial ladder, something very long slung over their shoulders. I watched them walk in single-file along the edge of the roof. Then, the carefully, reverently lowered the Flag down the side.
I cheered. I hollered, I gave a 'war-whoop.' I even had to wipe some moisture away from my eyes. I'll admit it, it hit me.
In the years since, I've had the honor of meeting two men who were there: Ed Gabriel with the NYC Office of Emergency Management Services, and Walter Kowalczyk, Div. 3 Chief, FDNY EMS. Both narrowly escaped death multiple times. I think it was Walter who ran into an underground parking garage when the first tower came down, along with several other Chief officers, etc. They were briefly trapped by debris, but dug themselves out just in time for the second tower to come down. They said it was luck of the draw surviving: "you zigged left, you lived, you zagged right, you died."
Now, eleven years later...it's "just another day" for so many people. I'm covering a high school volleyball game tonight. I'll be surprised (pleasantly) IF they even acknowledge the day. The guy in the White House calls for this to be "a day of service." Sorry...you want to go pick up trash in the park, or paint somebody's house? That's fine....that's good. Do it some other day. There are 364 other days in the year to do THAT. Today is about remembering nearly 3000 people murdered by terrorists, it's about remembering 343 FDNY firefighters who were murdered. Pick up the trash tomorrow. Today, remember, honor, and vow to never let it happen again. Thank a firefighter, a cop, an EMT or Paramedic, thank a veteran or active duty member of the armed forces (don't forget the Guard and Reserve).
Now THAT THAT is off my chest.. hope all are doing well or as well as possible. I've been following things in here loosely via the take-out window. Seems we have some people going through some pretty rough times, here's hoping they find comfort and relief.
W**k has been slow to steady, football and volleyball season give me a chance to do what I do best while an upcoming city council meeting is cause for occupational suffering.
In RR news, I went ahead and started knocking together the structure for "Elevator G" of the Quaker Oats complex. I'm taking two Walther's ADM elevator kits and combining them into a background structure: a 3-dimensional "flat" to go against the wall. The silos were extended by nearly half, and the main structure walls are being doubled: two walls joined end-to-end for a much taller building. It won't look exactly like Elevator G, the windows won't match-up, but it'll look enough like it people seeing it will know at a glance what it's supposed to be. And, if my current vision turns to crap, it'll w**k just as well as part of a flour mill or more appropriately sized elevator. Walther's as-designed offering is "big" but "small" at the same time.
Best wishes for all in need continue,
Looks like the LION has been hiding under a cabbage leaf. Well now that cooler weather is arriving I'll try to get up into the train room and see what I can do.

Zoe, I'll have a the #2 special this morning. Eggs over easy, bacon, homefries, and a double order of sour dough toast to start the day.
Eleven years ago I watched the day unfold with horror at my Father's house. Dad had had a major heart attack a couple days earlier and the carpet layers were at the house installing new living room carpeting when one of them turned on the TV to have some background noise... They didn't the carpeting completed that day! We all watched for a couple hours and the carpet folks decided to take the rest of the day off and be with their families. I stayed until late that night with my Mom. She had early to mid stage dementia and couldn't understand what was happening. I guess most of us couldn't really understand it either... My father died a few weeks later.
Tom, I wouldn't get far taunting the neighbors as I wouldn't have electric either... This system is connected to the grid, and if service goes down, my inverter shuts down as well. It has to be perfectly synchronized with the 60Hz from the grid or it can't be operated. On the other hand it is a lot less expensive than going with batteries for it. These are much lighter than the old panels as well. They all of 2 lbs. per sq. foot. less than a layer of asphalt shingles... One of the fun things at the Planning board hearing was having the folks realize that the combined weight of the steel roofing plus the solar panels is still less than the weight of what was up there before. LOL.
I already have outside and got one more to do this summer done. I finished tearing apart the old ramp I had for the shed out back. It was in pretty bad shape so I replaced it with the remains of the old equipment ramp I had on the steps of the deck of the house.
Hope you all have a good day out there!
Morning All,
I go in to w**k at 1 PM today (short day). I was on duty in Orlando. I had just dropped off a pt at ORMC and was walking through the waiting room to use the bathroom and the first plane had just hit the tower, the news people still thought it was a small plane. All of our lives have changed since then.
Prayers for the victims and their families but also for our public safety workers and the military.

September 11, 2001.
Shelley and I were in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We spent the day watching the horrors on TV. About 50 trans-Atlantic flights landed in Halifax that day because US airports were closed. Canadians we very good at accommodating the thousands of stranded people.
We had flown via American Airlines from Nashville to Halifax with a change of flights in Boston on September 9th. Thinking back, we realized some of the 9/11 terrorists must have walked in the same airport only 2 days later. On September 10th, we were on a bus tour and learned of tragedies in the past affecting Nova Scotia. There was a Swiss Air crash off the coast a number of years prior. Many Titanic victims are buried in Halifax. In WW I a munitions ship exploded in the harbor which burned down the city and killed about 3000 people. .... We did not know, of course, we would be witnessing a major tragedy with our hotel TV the next day.
On September 12th, we decided we would return home as soon as we could. Flights were unavailable, and we really were afraid to fly at that time. We considered renting a car one-way to the US, but it would cost over $3,000 to do so at that time. We considered joining other people from the US who were going to charter a bus to Chicago. Finally, we decided to take the train. Several days later we road Via's Ocean to Montreal. Then we road a Via train to Toronto.
We spent the night at a Toronto hotel with plans to take the train to WIndsor at the border with Detroit. We cancelled that plan when we learned highway border crossings into Detroit were taking about 12 hours. We stayed a second night in Toronto, and the next morning we boarded the Amtrak train which crossed through Michigan to Chicago. WHen the train crossed the border to Port Huron, MI, all passengers had to get off the train to ride busses to go through immigration. There were very long lines on the highway entering Port Huron over the bridge. The train was several hour late after that.
When the train arrived at Flint, MI we got off, and we rented a car.We drove it to Nashville, TN, and we picked up our car which had been parked at the airport all of that time.
Below is a photo I took from the Via dome observation car on Via's Ocean shortly after departing from Halifax.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
As we usually do when the weather is nice, we went railfanning this past Sunday. Watched 7 trains in 2 hours. Saw a couple of things I haven't seen before. Where we go is a Control Point and trains often catch a stop signal there, but this time one stopped for a crew change. A new crew arrived by taxi and the train departed shortly after the exchange. They might do this often, but it was the first time I saw it being done. Thought it was a little odd as it is only a couple of miles to Conway Yard.
I also noted 6 or 7 spine cars on the front of an intermodal. Each spine car contained somekind of rack which I hadn't seen before, and which I had no idea what they were used for. When I got home, that wonderful marvel called the internet provided the answer. They are racks which hold trailers used for containers. They can stack 3 or 4 trailers in these racks on spine cars for transport. I'm always amazed at the information that is available on the internet which would be virtually impossible to discover without it. I suppose one of the reasons I enjoy railfanning is I'm always seeing something new, or learning something new.
Yesterday turned out to be very busy. We started with breakfast at our favorite diner, then grocery shopping and errands. Never got home until after 3:00 pm. I swear we went from one end of the County to the other.
Ray - The panels are looking very nice. Appreciate the photos and updates. One thing I noticed is how thin they are compared to when they first became available years ago. Looks like a nice clean installation. Just try to remember not to gloat when the neighborhood is without power. No standing on the porch yelling taunts at the others who are sitting in the darkness and the cold. (been there - Done that many times)
Since the wife isn't facing additional surgery on her ankle/foot right now, I've made the motel reservations for the upcoming train show at Timonium in late October. Now all I have to do is sweat something else getting in the way. I'm telling you, I think friends and family go out of their way to plan things on that weekend. It's a conspiracy I tell you.
Well, break time is over, have a couple of loads of laundry and would like to trim the hedges todays as well. Hope everyone has a good one. Tom

Good morning. It's 60° and partly cloudy. The high will be 88°.I feel lousy this morning but that's better than I've felt the last few days. I'm running the F7A/F3B/F3B lashup this morning. I'll probably park it later and run the GP7/GP35/GP7 or the trio of GP9F's or I may forgo those and bring out the GP38-2/SD27J/F7 slug. Or I could bring out the ancient Atlas GP40 and FP7, both of which are Proto remotors. Almost all of these are Sundown rebuilds. Decisions, decisions. If I feel up to it later I'll go out and work on the tractor. No hard work there, just a lot of getting up and getting down. Getting down is easy. Getting up, that can be hard. That's providing of course that I don't wipe out on the front steps, but that rarely happens.
