Good evening everybody.
Terry in Wisconsin.... Good to see you. Glad your son is back in the good old USA.
Ray .... I thought about your blacksmith shop when I received my NMRA magazine with an article about how to make a random stone sided house.
V8 Vega..... We have helicopters overhead, but instead of police it is the Army from Fort Campbell.
Don't say anything bad about Berkshire locomotives. Duke might be looking in.
Happy Model Railroading

As I said earlier, I got the M. Munster residence programmed in. Next will be a three room cottage nearby. The cottage, porch, front and back yards and lake and road frontage will consume eleven blocks of program space and will likely take half a day to type it all in. No CADs or scanners for that old Apple computer. Scanners were the new toy on the block back when the //e was on the market (01/83 to 11/93) and there was little or no support for such a device on the //e's logic board. I don't think it was ever made available for the //gs either.Not much else went on today. My nurse came this afternoon and checked my foot out and said it's doing well.Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.

Well I got the M. Munster residence programmed and a high old time I had of it too. It seems as a standard double wide trailer until the character gets inside. There's some of the funny parts of the Munster home in there. the kitchen is one. Grandpas bedroom is another and the sleeping quarters of one Edward Wolfgang Munster. But it's when the character searches the master bedroom that the character breaks the land speed record getting out of there. Seems there was this little thing with Herman sitting up in bed 'Excuse me young man, we'd like to have you for dinner.'. Somehow I think I would've left too! It wasn't a hard bit to program. Just thirteen blocks. But some blocks have up to ten lines of code and some variable lines of code. If a variable is set one way a certain set of lines are displayed and if the variable is set another way another set of lines is displayed. Some funny things are found too. A Vandergriff generator connected to a hair dryer (That'll curl your hair!). A large bucket of electric eels connected to a washing machine? Grandpas been at it again!
Afternoon folks!
Chloe, I'll have a glass of lemonade for the moment... What? No, no... no hot sauce like Jeffrey has it, just plain lemonade.
yougottawantaHowmus - 112 MPH ??? golly by the way people drive those things around here I would never have known. Lot of folks drive in the passing lane about 5mph under and will NOT move over , when you finally work your way up guess what they are driving a Prius - no kidding. Go figure . 112 MPH amazing ! Hope your aches and pains get better.
LOL! But you see we lose gas mileage driving 112mph! I had only owned the PiP about 2 weeks when I drove it to Rochester, NY to the RIT Train Show. Sunday Morning I got off 390 North at Hylan Drive and stopped at the stop light. A big old van got stopped at the light going on the road I was turning onto. I got through the light and seeing the light ahead turning yellow, I just kept my speed to about 20mph (30mph zone) The Van floored it and roared around me, then slammed on his brakes for the red light. I pulled over into the other lane and hit the stop light just after it turned green. As I got through the intersection the Van roared past me so he could again slam on his brakes and stop at the next light! He was really in a hurry. This happened at every light (about 10 of them) all the way out to RIT. He kept trying to go faster every time. I think he got up to 70 a couple times before slamming on his brakes so he could stop for the light which I then just kept right on going through as it turned green. At a couple of them I gave him the peace sign as I glided past him... He was nice and gave me half of it back. We were both going to the same train show. He finally got a couple hundred yards ahead of me as there is no light for the last bit before turning into RIT. He took the first driveway in where he... Yep! He got to slam on his brakes to wait for all the cars coming the other way. I drove down to the next driveway and timed it so I could keep going across traffic into the college without stopping... He had just pulled into the unloading area and was opening the doors to his van as I got out of the PiP. Of course he got burn a lot more gas than I did I think. Years ago what you mentioned used to be all the snowbirds driving their Cadidlyacks to Fowiduh for the winter, passing each other doing 50mph on the expressway...... "Slow down! Your driving like a maniac!" I think AARP got that ad pulled within a week after it came out... I generally drive with traffic, but like to take routes where I will not have to put up with too many idiots doing stupid things out there. This time of year, during the rut, intelligent folks do drive considerably slower so they can avoid creating venison grease spots on the road....
We got all the booklets assembled and put into the envelopes. Just got an email that they will go out in tomorrow's mail. Now I have to put together the MLK Financial statement for tomorrow's meeting... I need a secretary!
Paul, glad you got medical help in time! Keep you in my prayers!
Later!

well, erm peoples:
FIl has drawn up new will already. Eliminates old non-productive info now. He's moving fast upon the passing of MIL.
Paul- Glad to know that it was only a "scare", not something serious, as of now...I had an imense chest pain once that turned out to be a "gas bubble" in the upper GI tract. I called 911 for help and MOH thought for sure I was having a heart attack. SOme nasty slimy stuff to drink, about like snot,{really} helped it pass. it knocked vitals out of whack a bit too. Now once in awhile i have that same problem but less intense, and wait for it to pass via massing.
Jeffrey- I tried those noline bifocals. I could only see things in the very top thin 1 MM and the very bottom thin 1MM, and nothing in between made an visual acuity at all. I traded them in for a regulaar pair of lined bifocals, my old standard. THAT I can deal with. MOH claims to get sick with the old standard lined bifocals and has to have the expensive lenses...cost about $500/pair!
Well dinner of chuck roast, smashed potato, green beans is over now.
Junque mail lots of it came today. I once donated to the VFW and Paralized Vets and now get a ton of mail wiht addy lables and mini 3-sheet note pads in the mail form aobjut anyh agency that wants donations. They obviously sold my name and USPS addy to these parasitic agencies. Feed the Hungry? I AM the hungry! Help the Disabled {NON vets} I AM the disabled! AARP wnats donatins to help the needy in their programs too! Guess what? I AM the needy of their programs! I probably qualify for these agency's handouts, and they want me to donate? Catholic Charities {local} sent me a card and wanted me to donate for their TG campaign, Well, Guess what I am doing tomorrow? Signing up for it!!!! I DO donate when I can, or when I feel "flush" and donate a few dollars where I can. but I can qualify for most of their programs...sned them a $1 and they will send you freebies all year long!
Well off to beddy soon, maybe a load of laundry first...funny I had all the laundry DONE except what we were wear ing as of Thursday. 3 days later we have a full hamper and at least 2 if not 3 loads...besides the bedding and towels loads. Amazing how we accumulate so much for 2 peoples!

Todd - understand. I really don't like yard work either. But I am forcing myself to do some. This weekend I put down fertilizer and seed. Money and time I would rather be spending on trains !
Ulrich - four years with out a job ? What are you living on ?
Dennis - know I understand , more country , less people I think we have that many people around Wash. DC . I wish some of them would go home !
Garry - LOL !! Your pict made me laugh out loud !
Paul - smart move. I cannot tell you how many people I know who didn't go to the ER are now out to eternity. to you.
No train work for me this weekend. Earth quake hit several years ago and spent the weekend pulling the brick off of the fp facing and rebuilding. Drier vent stopped up and spent all of Sunday afternoon trying to unplug it and finally gave up and went to bed. Well gotta get back to w**K

Working on part two of Native Fury again. I've changed a few things. #1 when a direction is entered, IE S, the game responds with SOUTH, pauses for one second then executes the command. #2 In the middle of the circle that the homes in part two are clustered around is a large garden. Originally I had it labeled as Mr. Cable's garden and would advise the character to stay out of it. That just didn't feel right. So I changed it to Mr. Addam's garden. Seems like a good place to avoid. #3 in the kitchen of the metal house the character sees a large metal lunchbox on the kitchen counter. On the side is the label 'P. Addams'. Ring any bells? Gives me some ideas about what to put in the secret room. At present I'm starting work on the double-wide trailer next door (west) to the metal house. The plate beside the door reads 'M. Munster'. I'm planning on the character to see a large family portrait hanging on the wall as he enters. I'm gonna have some fun with this one!
Good Monday afternoon, Diners!
32f and cold/ blustery. Got about 2" snow yesterday. Ick.
I've been away but checked in now and then to try and keep up with everyone's trials and triumphs. Seems they are about even.
Computer seems to be working OK now, so maybe I can visit more often.
PFC Son is back stateside at Ft. Bliss, at least for the foreseeable future. He was promoted to Specialist, so a few more bucks for him.
Grand kids are growing like weeds, all is good on that front.
Had a very BUSY spring and summer for work, starting to slow up a bit now. That's ok, I can use the time off to work on the trains!
That's all for now.

A veggie omelet, no cheese, and some apple juice for me. I know I can eat anything, but I still am feeling a little healthy.
We made it back from our trip to Utah, where among other things, we visited the Union Station in Ogden. They had an interesting train museum and a number of locomotives and cars parked outside. We were able to go into a Smoothside Railroad Post Office and a hospital car that was used during WWII to take the injured soldiers to an army hospital in Brigham City, Utah. They also had a retired gas-turbine locomotive parked outside. The sign said it was strong enough to pull a fully loaded train, seven miles long. I guess the noise was a bit of a problem.

Morning All,
Currently it is 37 with an expected high of 70 under mostly sunny skies.
Had a great time with my daughters and sil on Sat. we made and ate some great food. Then went to a local farm and walked around the corn maze the make every year. A different one each year. That was a lot of fun also. Came back to the house and had Gellato to finish off the days eats.
Bad thing about 1:30 AM I felt a pain just below my chest, upper gastric area, and I could feel my BP pumping real hard, and my heart was racing. Took BP reading and it was 220/120 with a HR of 106. All very high for me. Kept checking it every 15 minutes and about 2:15 decided to call 911. EMT's showed up took BP and was still quite high so I went for a ride to the ER. By the time we got there it had started to normalize. Took a chest xray and EKG, those seemed to be fine, so they released me around 9:00 AM Had one of my daughters drive me home and stayed with me for awhile. BP seemed to start to stabilize. Called Cardiologist and have an appointment tomorrow morning to check things out. Feel OK, but better to know for sure. I was and still reluctant to get medical help, always thinking, "what if it is nothing." My late wife would then say "What could be better." Those words rung in my ear as I called 911.
Prayers to all in need.

Mornin' everyone!
Zoe, just a cup of decaf this morning and a small bowl of granola cereal... Blood sugar was back up this morning... 155. Don't like where this is headed.
Just ran the vacuum in the dining room office to remove the cat hair and remains of hairballs on the carpet before the ladies arrive to finish up the booklets today.
I may actually get some time to do a bit of stuff down in the train room this evening. Time will tell. was having a backache all night. Almost felt like a kidney stone, but not nearly as bad. It went away after I got uip this morning and got moving around. I have a painful right thumb as well.... Must have strained it yesterday climbing around on the caboose all day. Guess I'm getting old. I tell visitors to the museum that all our equipment we have there are antiques just like the volunteers!
TMarshJeff- Yep, that’s the one. I’ve never been in one myself either. Apparently there are few pictures of the insides and those there are seem to be focused on the chairs I guess you’d call them, in the living room and some of the bathroom. I found very few of anything else inside. Even the videos seem to shy away from the kitchen, dining and bedroom. The thing would be an awesome bachelor pad!
Good morning. It's 53° with 97% humidity. The high will be 78° and it will feel like 81°. There's a small chance of rain today. with a Yesterday was a bad day for Mickey's cousins living in the kitchen cabinet. Two of them got caught in traps. One was on a glue trap and was very much alive when I discovered it trying to drag the trap away (and it was doing a pretty good job of it too considering it had only one foot to work with). A rap on the head with a small household hammer put it out of it's misery. I wrapped it up trap and all in a paper towel and asked my nieces husband next door to dispose of it as it's quite difficult for me to get outside without help. The second one got snared by a snap trap and was very much life challenged when I discovered it this morning. I wrapped it in a paper towel and as no one is home next door I put it in a plastic bucket and set it outside the front door. I checked the glue box traps and there was nothing of interest in them. So far their only customers have been a brown recluse spider (good riddance!) and a very unfortunate largish grass hopper.Well today I hope to get some more programming done on Native Fury. I'm sure there are bugs to be worked out. I usually work bugs out of the blocks as I go along but sometimes they creep into the code that ties the blocks together. I just hate to be playing a game and suddenly get a 'GOSUB WITHOUT RETURN' or a GOTO with no address to go to or something like that.
Good Morning!!!
Coffee and a bowl of frosted flakes please. Thanks.
Partly sunny, with a high near 52.

Suppose to get cold tonight they say so I best get the water out of the pressure washer pump today or buy a new one in the spring. No I didn’t get the house washed off either. Hey, next spring I’m gonna get the outside of this place spruced up…..ya. Next year. That’s what I’ve said for the last what, 5 years. You’d think I was a Cub fan.
Ya’ll have a good day, ya hear!!!!

Good Morning Folks!
Pretty miserable weather at this end of the Big Pond! Temperatures are OK, but it´s gray outside and we have the odd spell of rain.
Nothing much planned for the day, other than revamping my CV and searching for job openings - my favorite pastime! Never thought I´d have to do that again. Well, it is like it is - why not add a few couple of hundred of unsuccessful applications to those1,000 plus I turned in the last 4 years...
Have a good day!

Good evening.
Today has been one of our grandson's birthday. He is now 4 years old. Shelley is in Michigan and participated in the festivities. I'm here at home. I had some time this evening to work on the layout. Slow but sure.
Karl .... I really like the Mikado. You do great work!
Galaxy, Mr. B EMD Don, Rich, and Mike L .... ... Thanks for the nice remarks in my thread. in the layout construction section of the forum. .
Be happy, everybody
I was a bit busy today but not at what I wanted to be doing. No, my father wanted me to look up for him the medicinal and nutrition uses of cactus plants and mesquite trees. So that kept me busy for a while. I didn't get any programming time in today. Maybe tomorrow.Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
Evenin' folks!
Janie, a cup of hot chocolate before bedtime would really hit the spot tonight!
I'm exhausted! Long day out at the museum with a large crowd today. Now that is a good thing as we depend on the ridership to pay a lot of bills around the place. But being busy, along with the cold weather has wiped me out tonight. The high at 1:00Pm today was 54°F and by closing it was back below 50°. One of our younger officers got the stoves fired up in the cabeese, but the one in mine (The old Erie Caboose) was either flooded or the control wasn't working right as it quickly got way too hot, so we shut it down after a couple of runs. That means I got to work most of the day in a cold caboose. All told a good day and a fun day.
Tomorrow I will be finishing up the w*rk on the booklet for the reunion. The ladies will be arriving at 11AM to help assemble them and get them ready to mail. We may go out for lunch after we are done to celebrate. Them I can turn my attention to other items on the waiting list.
Jeffrey, the photos of the old Apple IIe insides make me almost wish I had kept my old Apple IIc I had years ago. Almost but not quite...
Time to head to catch some prayers for all in need!
Karl: The Mikado looks great.
Well today I received one of the parts I needed for my mothers old Apple IIe. The drive controller card. I tested the card and it works like new. It's now installed. This particular machine is one of the early IIe's and had to be shaken down due to the problems that were inherent of those early offerings. Apple had all those corrected for the 1983 line. This one has had the original Revision A logic board replaced with a revision B board so it would be compatible with the expansion cards offered later. These wouldn't work on the original Revision A boards. These boards shouldn't be confused with the enhanced '"-A"' boards offered in later years. Those were in functionality Revision B boards. The only thing different besides the enhancements was the letter. One thing that made the early IIe's recognizable at a glance was the keyboard. White letters on tan keys as opposed to the black letters on tan keys that started in 1984. However that doesn't mean every IIe with black and tan keys was an '84 or later model. Lots of older IIe's got the newer keyboard when the keyboard had to be replaced as happened with my IIe.
Hiya gang!!
Salsa & chips and Flo! (reason below)
Posted this on WPF, but I no a few folks here knew about what happened, so here goes,
yes , the front end damage has been fixed !! Still have to paint the smokebox, add decals and weathering, but I'm waiting for the sound decoder to come in for it 1st. The speaker is already in the tender.
The other "thing" in the picture is the product of my warped brain with too much time on my hands. The mount for the can motor is the bottom half of a Pittman motor from a Penn Line loco. The plan is to install it in another Penn Line loco to replace it's Pittman. 2 screws and done! Maybe it will work, maybe not, but its gonna be fun!!
Jeffrey, call the MIB!!
Gonna be over in the corner watchin the tube. Switching between NASCAR and the Ravens-Steelers game. (This is what the snacks are for!) Go Kevin Harvick!! Go Ravens !!!

NCE über alles!
TMarshJeff- I was referring to the stainless steel house as ideas for the game. BUT since you brought it up about odd houses, we have, in a neighboring town, a flying saucer house. Yup. Green, on legs and looks like a flying saucer landed in the clearing. Just now decided to do an internet search and discovered it’s a Futuro house.
(yaaaawn) apparently I fell asleep in the diner. Woke up and here I am.
Coffee please and I’ll have the Sunday Breakfast buffet. Thanks.
Mostly sunny, with a high near 67.

Today I have a house warming/birthday party to go to at 1 and then…..no idea where the walls will go so I’m not gonna pour a foundation.
Good morning.
ONR Fan ... Good to see you. Hope Dave is doing well. Keep in touch.
Galaxy...... The false teeth limerick is funny. .... I see V8 Dennis agrees.
Jeff .... I like the C&NW passenger colors. Good to see them in your photo.
Ray .... I liked reading about your enduring love for your wife. I bet she is saving a special place for you in Heaven.
CN Charlie ..... If you are looking in, I finally have photos for my layout extension construction project. You asked for it! I just started a thread in the layout building section.
Here is one photo of my project. The rest is in my thread in the Layouts and Layout Building section.
Good morning. It's 47° with 100% humidity. The high will be 75° and will feel like 79°. It'll be sunny today.Woke up this morning to find that fall has indeed fallen. It was 45° outside but about 70° inside with the exception of the office where I am now. It's not tied into the central ac/heat the rest of the house has. Instead it has an ac/heat window unit. I have it turned to heat and cranked up to 80°. Until it heats up in here I have two T-shirts on. I have no set plans for today. As one of my relatives was fond of saying, 'You have no idea what's going to happen so setting plans in stone is like pouring a concrete foundation before you know where the homes walls will be.'. Not surprisingly he built houses for a living. I may do a bit more planning for more work on 'Native Fury' later. I need to lay out the blocks for the final subcharts of part two.
Hi Folks, it's been awhile since my last visit. We almost have our home finished, the contractors say about another week and they will be out of here. It's been a long process but the end result is worth it. My layout was put on hold for the last few months due to having zero time to work on it. I have accumulated about 40 building kits so when I get back to it I'm going to be busy. I went to the Bowmanville Ontario train show with my friend Dave(TA462) in his new Aventador. I felt like a rock star with everyone waving at us. I picked up a couple things at the show and had a great time looking at the layouts there. Shows are a great motivator. With winter coming and the house done I'm going to have a lot of time to focus on my layout and maybe be a little more active on the forum.
morning coffee in the diner...
GOOD SUNDAY MORNING!!!
Today is Sunday, October 20th, 2013!!!
Today's fun limericks:
An elderly man called Keith
Mislaid his set of false teeth -
They'd been laid on a chair,
He'd forgot they were there,
Sat down, and was bitten beneath.
There once was a man named JoeWho had very crusty toesHe had corns and bunionsThat smelled like onionsAnd that's how the story goes
Today's weird words:
ecbole: n. (Rhet.) A digression in which a person is introduced speaking his own words
sabaton: n. {1300–50; Middle English < Old Provençal, =sabat(a) shoe + -on} foot-covering as part of suit of armour
Infelicific - advb. To make unhappy
Well it's time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
Janie, a hot cup of decaf would be great right now!
Just lit the wood stove. First time this season. Need to take the damp chill out of the house. Currently 50°F outside with a cold rain. Low will be in the low 40's overnight and won't get much warmer tomorrow. Talking a high of 56° is all. Sure hope they have the kerosine stoves working on the cabooses tomorrow. I'll be bringing my heavy Carhartt winter jacket just in case. Will also take along a lighter jacket but plan to wear my long sleeve museum shirt as part of my uniform.
New record today for the trip home from my sister's house.... 309 mpg! Got to do some serious hypermiling as there was very little traffic for the most part. That means the trip home cost me approximately 25¢ of electricity and 40¢ for the gas. My sister tells me her old Corrolla gets "Great" gas milage. For its age it does. It supposedly can get 24mpg I think. So if I was driving her little car the trip would have cost me $2.47 in theory at least. Of course according to my sister it is also a lot longer from her house to my house and back than it is from my house to her house and back.... Yesterday I ran out of canned cat food for her cats. Now she knows how many days she will be gone and said she bought lots of cans of food to last the whole time. She is an Art Teacher so she never had to learn to count I guess. Being a Music teacher I learned to count to 4! She was 5 cans of food off so I bought 10 cans (on sale) for her so she will have a few left over as she will have to recover from Jet Lag before she will go to the store...
Galaxy, I think there is no right or wrong on when to get rid of the MIL's things. For some people it really hurts to see some of those things, and for some it helps to be surrounded by the things that can bring back good memories. For me I got rid of all of my wife's clothes within a few weeks of her death. Everything I touched had her scent on it and it made me miss her terribly. To this day (26 years later) there are other things I still keep out where I can see them. Photos of her grace the walls of my living room and several of her paintings and wall hangings are still displayed, and I still use the hand crocheted comforter when I want to get warm in the living room. They give me comfort now. Try to get FIL to keep some special things of hers even if he hides them away for the moment... I have two beautiful hand made dolls my wife made that I am holding onto until the time is right to give to my granddaughters. The older one is ready now, but my son says to wait another year so the younger one would be old enough to understand and cherish hers!
Time to give Blackie his pill.
evening all
Maybe this time the site won't crash on me!
Well, well, well. FIL is Having NONE of this "wait a year " stuff before doing anyhting. He is GUNGHO. He was after MOH to get rid of stuff he THINKS belongs to MOH as well as MIL's stuff!!!. I will tell MOH to go tomorrow to donate whatever FIL THINKS is MOHs to make him happy for now. MIL's stuff is NOT far behind, though, so If MOH wants an item or two, Best claim it NOW.
Of course part is he wants to re-move back into the master BR, and alll her stuff is preventing that. The hospital bed is out of the way now so a regular bed can go back in. FIL was sleeping on the rollaway in the MBR as easy and quick and access to the upstairs TV at night.
Meanwhile after a decade, my father still does not want to part with my Mother's stuff.He says when he is gone, I can then get rid of whatever I want.
Well we did a few errands and slept a lot, exhaustion and nerve-releasers, I am sure.
Wish we had a PIP. We spent over a tank of gas at about 22 MPG this week doing the funeral. Fortunately it is only about $3.50/gallon here. GOne down some.
Tomorrow is another day...
Have a good evening, folks:
