I'm happy considering I paid about 50 cents each for them years ago and they a about $3.50 each now.

Got a few things done today I need to, but of course not all I had hoped!
Got the B&O SD 7 and 9 speed matched today. While I was speed match CV 5 it sounded like I was racing Bumble Bee's! When I got my first PK 2000 Rio Grand SD 7 I don't remember it making noise like theses?
Gary, Vince's and other PK 2000 SD 7 and 9 owners. Do your SD 7 and 9's make more noise than your other Proto engines with can motors? Main reason I asked is K-10 Model Trains has a new PK 2000 SD 9 Rio Grand (well NOS) and just don't remember the noise when my was new and not ran.
See you all later, Ken

There was no mention of wind and rain in this mornings weather forecast. Now we have both. Isolated showers with winds of up to 35 mph. Out here by the lake there's a near 40 mph wind out on the lake and the white caps are rolling. Think I'll stay inside.

chochowillieJust spent the last 1/2 hour searching for a container with about 50 momentary on minature push button switches. They sat on a corner of my workbench for months until I got carried away and put them in a container so they wouldn't get lost. Right... two months later and now I can't find the darned thing and have no memory of where I put it for "safe keeping".

It's things like this that make me think I well on the way to loosing it.
Well, back to searching high and low................
I've gotten the coupler swap-out done on all six of my FP7. Each one has a Kadee 147 in the pilot and a Kadee 119 on the rear and they're OK by the height gauge. I got my food from my nieces fridge this morning and it's now in mine where it belongs. I've been working on getting the temp set properly and I think I've got it. I'll check it in an hour and see.I think that's about all I'll do for today and just relax the rest of the day.
I love the B-17, especially the "G" variant. I hope your headache goes away, thanks for sharing.
Good afternoon.
NO HOMEWORK! Quizes or tests most of the day today. Slight headache right now, but will get something to eat and drink once I get home.
By the way, for those of you who like bombers............

Afternoon folks!
Chloe, I'll have a cup of decaf for the moment....
Slept in a bit this morning, gave Blackie his meds about a half hour late, then showered and headed over to the barber to get my ears lowered. With all the hot air out there, it is now 56°F outside, I figure I want to stay cool. Actually a fairly pleasant day here in the Finger Lakes, partly cloudy and mild.
Really sorry about the way too hot conditions Ken and a couple others have to put up with. makes me very glad I live up here in the North where we get much nicer weather. 80°F??? Man too hot for me! Barry, are you going to stock the lake this year?
Fergie, I left almost half the apple pie for you last night. Somebody else must have got to it first.... I didn't need to warm it up either as it was still hot from the oven when I had my half.
Galaxy, sounds like life is normal for you folks.... Hope the extraction goes well, the injections do the job, and YOH gets the job!
OK, I need to glide downtown in the PiP and buy a couple hundred stamps for the MLK Dinner Invites...
Later!

I DO have TWO extra prayer candles lit for both YOU and your FATHER. If the prayer candle won't contribute to his recovery, may it contribute to his peaceful journey.
Your mother may experience a terrible shock then, so be prepared.
Well, I went and did some banking.
MOH says did not do so well at the interview, but I said maybe that means you will get it...sometimes the worse things go the better they turn out. Will know by the end of the week supposedly. Here's hoping!
Tooth gets pulled Friday and Thursday I get spinal nerve injections, I will be in a world of hurt over weekend so we are not going to the Maryland train show: we don't have $$ and with no current job except volunteering, MOH has no prospects...unless....so we won;t be going.
MOH WOULD like to "get out of Dodge City", but we really cannot afford it!
another nice day outside, but a nasty storm may hit us after it hits some of you out there!

I'm being transferred to the "Earl Grey" another Medium Icebreaker/Buoy Tender/Search and Rescue ship (with 10500 HP). They tell me I'll enjoy all that power ! Yah I have kits! about 7 in all and the 150 ton Wrecking crane and boom Car are now finished except for decalling (sic). Looks real good!

Good Afternoon!
Another trying day! I went to the hospital to do some of the required paperwork for my Dad. When that was done, I went to see him, but he was out for some tests. I had the chance to talk to one of his docs, and the picture she gave me was pretty bleak. Though he does not have a case of pneumonia, his condition is worrying. The little infection he has is taken care of with a heavy dose of antibiotics. What worries me the most is that he sleeps most of the time and is hardly clear when he is awake. His speech is affected as well. There is little doubt that he is getting prepared for his last journey.
My Mom called only twice so far, which is an improvement, at least for us. I have been trying to reach her doc, but no luck. Something must happen urgently.
Have a good one!
Packer: I see from tracking that you got the box I sent to you. Tracking says it got there on the 3rd? That was fast! They told me it would get there on the 8th. Hopefully nothing got damaged.

Good morning. It's 70° with 88% humidity. It will be cloudy with a high of 82°.No plans for today other than going to get my groceries out of my nieces fridge/freezer and put them in my new one. The fridge is 33° and the freezer is -5°. Other than that I think I'll just take it easy today.
Good Morning

Morning guys. Got my SD7 to be able to run on 18" radius again. Had to file some parts of the BLI sideframes down and sand the inside of the steps. It would barely turn before that.
cudaken Work Front was pretty slow today, OK real slow. But some how I still got out late? Last hour rush don't you know! SD 7 &9 Train Front. Vince's old SD 9 is running great, the Free SD 7 is all so running great, but is making a racket. Not a dieing racket but is still getting on my nerve's. Vince's you post sometime back about possible motors that would work in the SD engines. What where your suggestions again? Not ready to replaces it yet, but this time I will take notes.

How your work day went is like how my work days usually go. Everyone and there mother seems to want to come in right around 1330, when I leave at 1400.
As for the SD7 motor, if you can get the flywheels off of it and the flywheels off of another P2K motor and swap them that would work. A kato motor could probably work, and some of the older Atlas-kato locos had flywheels that'd work with the SD7/9s driveshafts.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Howdy folks,
W*rk has been quiet these past couple of days so I've been finishing on time every day. Yesterday I had an hour to kill before going home, lets just say I got dizzy from going around in circles with the broom.
In my department we get labour hire casual workers for the shift and vary the amount depending on the amount of freight coming in. Tomorrow we are processing only 1500 pieces so there will only be two casual staff. Normally there is on an average day around 12 staff in. There is only myself and one other permanent staffer attached to my section, so after around 2.30PM I'm normally by myself until 6pm when I'm supposed to finish, in that time I do all the necessary paperwork for the freight we are sending out the next day such as manifests and emailing the necessary reports etc off. The other sections of the Warehouse operate 24/7 as it's the airfreight division of the company. We are basically a smaller version of UPS, in fact our air freight guys handle alot of UPS freight for towns outside of capital cities as UPS has a fairly small presence here.
Over in the WPF thread I posted a few photos of the new rollingstock I picked up on the weekend from the new model train shop thats opened in the city.
Our annual model train show is coming up in 3 weeks so I'm going to hold off buying any more stuff until then, even then I have to be careful as I need to save as much $$ as possible for my Thailand trip - I leave on the 8th May.
Anyway it's dinner time here...
