Hey everybody! ..... Did you see what I saw? ..... Duke awakened! .... He posted, too.
That's cause for celebration. Time for RBF's .... Drum roll! ..... Heck, call out the marching band!
JohnBoy ..... Thanks for the remarks. The bus in the center is Trailways, and the other two may be Trailways affiliates. One is Brulington and the other is Badger Bus Lines. I have but one Greyhound, but I intend to buy the Scenicruiser. You can see a city transit bus in the photo, and that is like the one I drove while going to college. I recall drving full time and also taking a full college course load. I don't think I selt much then.
Curt .... Thanks very much for commenting about the WPF post. .... You mentioned CPR. I heard in recent years, they do not have you breathing into the victim. Is that so?
Barry .... I'm sorry to learn about your CHF. Actually, it is good they found it because it is treatable. I have been a heart failure patient for over 10 years. As many here know, my heart failure nearly killed me in 2008 when my heart quit 6 times. My implanted device saved me as I flew in a helecopter to Nashville, TN. I'm a patient at a Vandrebilt Hospital Heart Clinic. I urge people to go to a top rated hospital heart clinic for very serious illnesses such as CHF. I was told 10 years ago, I would likely be a heart transplant patient if my condition worsens. Fortunately, the treatments have halted further deterioration. It's been 4 1/2 years of extra life for me following the 2008 incident. Doctors made chnages following the 2008 incident to prevent (so far) another incident. My recent appointments indicate I can continue as I am doing now. Praise the Lord for that. I'll pray for you, Barry.
Ulrich .... I like the steam loco photo. I hope you can rest well for a while. Prayers continue.
Jeff .... regarding the two pictures of the baseball field. The first one was the "diamond in the rough".
PA Tom .... I'm glad your wide is recovering so well. I recall it was a significant leg injury.
Rob .... I'm glad you solved the hiss problem. At least it was not a snake. The DCC CV's get complicated.
Lee .... Good you had time to visit the diner. you sound busy!
Galaxy ... thanks for more info aboy Hawaiian rails.
Ken .... I hope that extra leg pain went away. The toe is more than enough of a problem.
Paul ..... I know what you mean about aches and pains. Glad you posted here in the Diner.
Where are Bama, Sue, and several other MIA's?
On the layout, I'm running trains including my short Kansas City Zephyr.

Evening Folks!
Flo, a Beer and a electric blanket pleases!
Dang I am cold and it is only 33 degrees, reason you ask? Had to drive home from work with the heat off and the windows open! Seems my heater core started puking and with the heat on it was like a steam bath, could not see a darn thing out of the windshield!
I told my wife I need her car Saturday, want to guess what happened? Well the site won't let me use the B word but I am sure you guys with a wife know what I mean! Reason why she was beeing? She has a Kohl's $5.00 free coupon she wanted to use! Guess my life is not worth the free $5.00 worth of junk she wanted!
Gary, what Digitrax system are you using? I have a SEB and have 1 engine my PR 3 cannot read. I places it on the main and use Direct Mode and it will take the commands. Just make sure all the other engines are off the track! You might try OP mode first on the main. Then you don't have to worry about pulling all the other engines.
Well, have to be at work at 8:00 AM, so I better get going.
Ken

Evenin' folks!
Janie, just a decaf for me...
We have about 6" of heavy wet "partly cloudy" on the ground outside. Still coming down at the moment.
Most of the traffic outside are the redneck private snow removal guys in their 4 x 4 pickemup trucks doing about 60 down the street to get to next job. They gotta get em done afore midnight so they can do em agin' in duh morning (they get to charge them twice that way I think). I watched the idiot plowing out a nieghbors driveway before the city did any plowing late this afternoon. He roared in shoved the snow all over the place. First ya pull it out of the driveway then you push it over in the lawn removing the top 3 or 4 inches of top soil so you can come back and they will pay you to fix the lawn in the spring... He finally pulled the last huge pile of snow out of the driveway, backed up, and pushed it down the street right in front of another guys house and left the pile in front of his driveway in the middle of the road... Wheee! We is havin' fun out there!!!
I'll wait until the storm is over and tomorrow start up the little brother of the machine Garry posted above and just do it once! I have no place to go so I can wait.
This is what it looked outside my door around 5PM tonight:
The large white things are just snowflakes close to the camera... We do get them large around here..
Nice to see Duke wake up...
Stay safe and warm out there if you are in the storm area.... Prayers for all in need.

Good Morning!
Who of you guys sent that wet white stuff over to us? Would you please take it back? I did not order it!
It started to snow late last night and it has not yet stopped. The flakes are not as big as on Ray´s photo, so we did not yet get as much as on Ken´s photo, but it is close to 10 inches by now. I was hoping for spring to be just around the corner
Parent front: No call early this morning, which is good news. I am aware that it can happen any time now, as both have very little will power left. I feel bad about being home, far away from them, but I just need some rest under the care of Petra. Her birthday is coming up next week and I want to be with her - In those 30 years we are together, I never missed her birthday, even if I was on an assignment far away from my home. She´s turning 55 and still is that sweet young gal I met over 30 years ago!
Barry - please take care of yourself, old pal! We want you to be around for many, many moons to come!
Ken - I have long given up on trying to understand some reactions of our better halves. Any attempt is just like trying to stop the tides - you may try it, but you never succeed. Why waste the energy?
Ray - Toyota has started to market the Yaris Hybrid here. It is not a plug-in version, but the cheapest hybrid car available. It sells for roughly $ 20,000 in my neck of the woods. If it were to be marketed in the US, it would probably cost about $ 14,000. I wish I were able to get one. It is supposed to do 75mpg!
Y´ all have a good one & stay safe!
Good Morning! from Tipton IN.

Morning gang!
Cloe, just coffee this morning. Can't get weighed down this morning. SWMBO has decided that today is repaint the laundry/cats room day. The only reason I'm on board with this escapade is that There is a shelf over the washer (66 inches high) that will someday be hidden staging for the north end of the layout. I don't want to paint the room then!
I finally landed an interview for next Wednesday for a job OUTSIDE of the auto biz!! Basically, I would be traveling from business to business explaining each employers health care packages,options, and add ons like disability, eyecare,dental, etc. So remember, Wednesday is crossed finger day!
Ulrich We continue to keep you and yours in our thoughts and prayers. Also, in case we miss it, give Petra a hug and a wish from us!
Ken Looking at the snow pics, I would say the heck with work today, but seeing how you wound up her clockspring this morning, can I remind you of the 2 words every married man must utter from time to time? Yes Dear!
Ray Holy avalanches Batman! You got falling snowballs! Have fun with the snowblower! Oh and speaking of snow, we got NONE! Yeah!
Barry Sorry to hear about the CHF. Hopefully the deterioration can be contained soon!
Jeffrey. Big difference on the ballfield! Good luck on the rest of the layout. I have to do the same chore to the modules from time to time. Usually I vacuum them with my shop vac, with a soft brush attachment that is meant for cleaning computers. Its also vented, so the suction isnt too great. Then I spray it down with a plant sprayer full of water on a very fine mist. Works great for knocking the dust out of the trees, then it just dissipates into the ground cover.
Well, I got to get to painting , oh and installing a new stationary tub too , to everyone with snow, stay warm, everyone without, be cool! Hopefully I'll be back for dinner!

Well
today is Saturday - Po ‘aono (poh ah-o-no)
we got about 6-8 " of snow, so not so bad I guess, but a pain to us.
MOH is out shovelling as I just can't do it now, not with the injections due Tuesday!
It was blowing winds to 45 MPH last night,
Even at 3:30 AM HST {Hawaii Standard TIme} it is a "cool" 62F or 17C. nice sleeping weather. But the natives and transplants will tell you that it is "COLD" to them! We met an Ohioan transplant when we checked into the condo I won off PBS auction for 4 nights for cheap. SHe told us "when it falls below 70F I get real cold real fast!" We laughed. Then she told us about being from OHIO originally and how now 70F is too cold to her now. We were happy to be out of snow and 20F weather!
Here is an interesting item that appeared a few days ago about a cross-country train trip:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ethan-klapper/cross-country-amtrak-trip_b_2585039.html
We could now maybe go that way to Hawaii next time! {can't afford it now} we'd be lucky to ever get back to Hawaii.
I will post more aobut Hawaii's railroads tomorrow!
Stay safe, warm and shovel carefully out from snow if you got it!
LATER EDIT: looks like I got top! SO, Daisy, Macadamia nut muffins with pineapple marmalade on top and KONA coffee for everyone!!!
Good morning. It's 43° with 100% humidity. It'll be cloudy with a high of 68°.My plan today is to get more vacuuming done on the layout. For this reason I got the Shop-Vac detail vacuum brushes out so I can get into those small areas where the regular Shop-Vac brushes just can't get to. Yeah it's slow going with those but it's easier than teasing out the dust with a small paint brush. Hopefully I'll have half the layout done today.
Greetings from Maine, where the snow is falling horizontally. We had already planned to ski this weekend, so we pushed our departure up a few hours and got here mostly ahead of the storm. We skied in the storm yesterday, but we've delayed going out this morning (now Saturday) because it's very windy and most of the lifts are closed. There are a couple of feet of snow on the ground in most of coastal New England. The wind at Boston's Logan Airport hit 98 mph. According to the power failure map, our little town of Bedford, MA, has no one without power. Still, being up here skiing is the best situation. We have a guy who comes over and plows us out, so he'll earn his money this weekend.
Silly stuff on the TV: Amid the scroll of cancellations on the bottom of the screen on the news out of Portland, Maine, was one entry, "Polar Bear Dip, 3 PM." Of all the things not to cancel. And, one enterprising roofing guy bought ad time to remind the public that his company is available to shovel snow off your roof.

Good Morning!!!
(snubs Tom and Charlie as I pass. Only to stop, turn towards Tom slightly and mutter…. Ziva has fallen to 2nd place hurrrumph!)
Coffee and an order of Biscuits and Gravy please. Oh and could you toss acouple scrambled eggs on top? Thanks.
Barry- Gee whiz!!! You take care of yourself now ya here? Brenda’s Mom dealt with that, we called her the Lasics(sp?) baby. Actually I’ve seen it spelled and though I can’t remember how, I do know it’s nothing like I spelled it there……Laysiks? Aacchhh, it’s medicine. I think they spell it hard to make you feel like you’re getting more for your money.
Tom- Glad to her the wife is doing well.
I thought I heard someone say the Bachmann forums closed up. Or was that the Atlas? Shows you how much time I spend elsewhere.
Is that Duke with J.R.?
Rob- I got caught with that motor thing on my generator as well. Generac. The thing wasn’t bad priced at all and considering it had a Honda motor…er, excuse me…engine, I thought, you know what? Old unreliable when you really need it is getting replaced. Weeeell it looooked like a Honda engine. No, it wasn’t red, but boy it looked like one and I never gave the color or lack of the name Honda a second thought. Until, it wouldn’t start because the kill switch broke. THAT’s when I found out about the cheapo Chinese Honda look alike motors (shakes head). Fortunately, most parts that fail, can be replaced by Honda parts and make the thing more reliable as time and parts fail. Comforting isn’t it? Yah, that’s what I said. He laughed and said the bright side is the generator is good and a Honda will bolt up juuuuuust fine when that one dies. So I got THAT goin for me. I just mix a little hoison and hot sauce with the gas and hey, 5 years and counting….so far so good with chopsticks and fingers crossed.
Had no reason to go into town yesterday, and couldn’t quite bring myself to make the trip just for a hot dog and tater tots. Even if it was a foot long and chili covered. But today, I must get done aaaalll the stuff I need/want to get done this weekend. Why? Well because Sunday, SUNday, SUNDAY!.....there’s an NCIS marathon on and guess what….it’s a Ziva marathon. Actually a “TIVA” marathon, but close enough. I like Tony too, I think he’s funny, though sometimes a bit far. And I do, like many, point out the innuendos, the little glances, facial expressions and certain comments they make (courtesy the writers and actors of course) to and about each other to “determine” if they like each other more than just partners and friends like they are real people. Brenda just chuckles and I say “I know it’s a show. Fake and made up. Not like Pro Wrestling. The writers and actors do it on purpose. They know what the fans are saying so they play off it. But, let’s just say for a moment…. it wasn’t. I think Ziva would KILL anybody who seriously tries to take her precious Tony. And of course…., we’ve seen what Tony will do for his little Zeevy Weevy.” She laughs and says “oh yaaaah.”
Odd I can talk about Ziva all the time and that’s ok. But just once let a little ole Chinese waitress run up and stop me from leaving the restaurant so she can wipe a little sauce from my face, and suddenly she’s all snippy. Don’t get it…..I just don’t get it.
Ya’ll have a good day, ya hear!!!!

Good Morning All,
S**w has stopped, wind has not. We are still getting heavy gusting to white out conditions. Probably about 18" total though it is impossible to tell with all the drifts. CFO and I were out earlier with s**wblower and shovel to clear the walks and drive. So glad we don't live on a corner as I used to. Hope the rest of you are ok. With a statewide driving ban in effect, no shop time today so on to my HD lists. Catch U Later, J.R
Yes that is in fact Duke with me at Grattan Raceway a few years ago, We had a nice visit and Duke brought his big as all outdoors motorcycle. There is no truth to the rumor Duke smuggled bedding into his booth back there.
Waiting for the wind to die down so I can go out and clear the cars off again.
Ow, just got back from shoveling snow at the high school. Very tired right now.

The storm is over here in the Finger Lakes. It is a winter wonderland out there at the moment. Snow is heavy and wet and has stuck to everything. Trees are still covered. I'll try to get a few more photos today, but first I need to get the put,put fired up and burn some petroleum... Currently 18°F out there so the snow is most likely started to freeze up solid. need to get it done ASAP.
Glad that most of the folks in the path of the storm have checked in and are OK. Streets here in Geneva are clear and have had piles of salt put down... There is a pile a few inches deep at the end of the street I live on right in front of my house... Don't think much snow is going to last there!
GMTRacingThere is no truth to the rumor Duke smuggled bedding into his booth back there.
That guy can slep most anywhere and doesn't need bedding. He runs the chain saw to keep warm...

I was reading this and the last page when I heard a thud against the window in the living room, I think a bird just flew into the window. I said I'd run out to the bank and my LHS today the chances of that happening are not very good.

Coffee in a SUNNY SOUTHERN mug, please.
Worst night of uncontrollable coughing yet. Really bad, to the point I started to wonder how it would end. Finally subsided enough to sleep around 4:00am, so each time I woke up after that I laid there in bed quietly and allowed my body to go back to sleep. Feel almost beat up this morning with sore muscles and back, and still have a headache from it. Have no idea how I will manage a dentist chair on a early morning next week. Ugh!
Healing thoughts for those in need, with a few reserved for myself this time. Have a good day all.

Feeling better now, I at least don't feel like I'm going to go to sleep all of a sudden.
Hope you get feeling better Rob.

A man was walking on the beach in California, when he stubbed his toe on what turned out to be an old oil lamp. Of course, he was just a bit superstitious, so he rubbed the lamp. This story wouldn't be much if a Genie hadn't appeared, so let's just say one did. "One wish!" said the Genie. "One wish. Not 3. Never was 3, so get that straight right now."
"Well, OK," said our hero. He thought for a moment, and then said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I don't like to fly, and it's too far to drive, so I'd like a railroad bridge from here to Hawaii."
The Genie looked at him skeptically. "Do you know how impossible that is? Steel is like a ridiculous amount a ton, and getting a grade level in the ocean, with those tides? And just think of the ballast! No, I can't do that. Try something else."
"Well, then, one thing I've always wanted to do is really, truly understand women. Can you do that for me?"
The Genie looked at him, shrugged and said "Do want the mainline to be single track or double track?"
MisterBeasley ...."Well, OK," said our hero. He thought for a moment, and then said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I don't like to fly, and it's too far to drive, so I'd like a railroad bridge from here to Hawaii."....

Well, IN Hawaii, on the Island of Oahu, for the city of Honolulu, after a 40 year battle, they were talking of building a modern train to get around town...here is the article from the NY Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/04/us/hawaii-train-line-is-likely-to-rise-on-oahu.html?_r=1&
We shall see...
Meanwhile, On the Big Island {Hawaii's namesake}:
The Hawaii Consolidated Railway (HCR), originally named the Hilo Railway, was a standard guage common carrier railroad that served much of the east coast of the Island Of Hawai'i (The Big Island) until an important section of the line was destroyed by atsunami on April 1, 1946.
Although not the first railway on the Big Island, the Hilo Railroad was the most ambitious, and through time gained the dubious worldwide distinction of being one of the most expensive railways ever built. It began when B.F. Dillingham, an agricultural entrepreneur from Honolulu, financed the laying of tracks between the port of Hilo and Ola'a (now Kea'au), to service his Ola'a Sugar Mill. Extensions were soon built to Pahoa, where the Pahoa Lumber Company was manufacturing ohia and koa railroad ties for export to the Santa Fe Railroad.
Between 1909 and 1913, the Hamakua Division of the railroad was constructed to service the sugar mills north of Hilo. Because of the rugged nature of the Hamakua Coast, the railway had to cross hundreds of streams and valleys. Dozens of steel trestles rose over 150 feet above the streams underneath them. Over 3,100 feet of tunnels were constructed, one of which, the Maulua Tunnel, was over half a mile in length. At three enormous gulches, a combination of tunnels and distinctive curved trestles enabled the trains to negotiate the daunting topography. Unfortunately, the cost of building the Hamakua extension essentially destroyed the Hilo Railroad, which was sold to bondholders in 1916, and reorganized as the Hawaii Consolidated Railway.
Targeting tourists to augment local passenger and raw sugar transport, the Hawai'i Consolidated Railway ran sight seeing specials under the name "Scenic Express." Passengers were treated to spectacular views of the rugged Hamakua Coast, pounding surf, massive cliffs, plunging waterfalls, and wild and tangled tropical vegetation. Not for the faint of heart, these trips included a stop on the trestles, where passengers disembarked to admire the outstanding scenery. Back in the train, they enjoyed carpet, wicker furniture, and a menu including consommé en tasse, tongue, fresh fruit and pot roast.
The Great Depression saw a decrease in business, but business picked up in the 1940s, when thousands of battle-weary troops packed the passenger cars en route to Camp Tarawa, in Waimea, to rest, recuperate and prepare for another campaign. Oldtimers recall Marines passing meal rations through the train windows into the hands of local children, who eagerly exchanged guavas and mangoes for the G.I. treats. War-time gas rationing also increased passenger numbers.
But the end was near for the Hawai'i Consolidated Railway. Early in the morning of April 1, 1946, a massive tsunami struck Hawai'i. A tragic loss of life occurred in several low-lying areas of the island chain, the east side of Hawaii island were hit the worst. The railroad line between Hilo and Pa'auilo suffered massive damage; bridges collapsed, trestles tumbled, and one engine was literally swept off the tracks.
A few remnants of the railway are still visible along the coast. In Laupahoehoe, a concrete platform remains where Hula dancers once performed for tourists. And the Laupahoehoe Train Museum is housed in the former home of Mr. Stanley, the superintendent of maintenance.
Keep on trackin'
Afternoon folks!
Chloe I'll have a nice hot cup of hot chocolate to tide me over to dinnertime. Thanks.
Galaxy, interesting history...
Rob, hope the cough goes away soon. Not fun to lay in bed and cough all night...
I spent much of the afternoon cleaning off as much snow as I could from the Solar panels on the roof. They had 10 or so inches on then just like everything else here. They didn't even start up today so I got 0 Kwh... They are calling for sunshine tomorrow all day (I hope they are right!) so today's cleaning plus the sun should melt off what is left fairly quickly. I got a dozen panels basically cleaned off, still 6 covered with the heavy frozen white stuff. Tomorrow morning I will get a bit more done to give them a boost.
Going to get cold tonight here. Will get into the single digits, but tomorrow we should see temps climb into the low 30's.
Catch you all later!
Evening Dinners
Flo, Beer pleases.
Well for a short W#@K Day it sure seemed long! While I made a fair bit of commission, around $80.00 it seems here of late I cannot do anything right! All small stupid stuff, that is what bothers me the most!
Cases in point. I was taking a bag that has the work order and key to be put in the inbox for work to be done. While I was taking the bag out to the shop, I asked Tyler (manager) how to tell if a car is a California Emission Car? Told me to follow him and took me to the car in question. Plague need to be clean and I laid the bag with the work order down on the motor (not the same car) and cleaned clean the plague. We talked about the information then we got busy again. Want to guess where I left the bag? Yep, on the engine of the car we where looking at, not in the in box for work to be done!
Simple and easy mistake, but was not got for well over a hour! Only reason we (Tyler) found out was the lady was P O and start yelling so to speak.
Yes a simple and easy mistake, but I use to be the person that caught and correct mistakes before they happened, not make them! Getting old sucks, honestly I uses to be sharp! But uses to be no longer count does it.
Hating life.
