I am familiar with Ireland's predominant religion, I am of Irish decent, the Wards came to America from Ireland in the early 1900s.
I read that there are exceptions to celibacy in the priesthood, they're rare as all get out, but they exist, and the pope himself even said he's considered allowing all priest to marry, reason being they need more priests.
Let's get off religion and back to trains.

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!
Garry,
I have that Cadiz box car too. I was going to get some modern pictures of the metropolis bridge on Thursday but had to go back to the office.
Good morning ....
Bear .... The IC's Paducah shops included a very tall indistrial buildng. That is where boilers were fabricated, and the boilers were built with them standing on end. The boiler of a mountain stanidng on end needed a very tall ceiling over the shop building.
MLC ..... You mentioned Gracey, KY in your recent posts. Gracey was on the IC line from Princeton to Hopkinsville. This is where the Cadiz Railroad (CAD) interchanged with the IC. CAD operated three Alco S1's and had 200 yellow boxcars used to haul auto parts from a plant in Cadiz. CAD had 10 miles of track connecting Cadiz with Gracey. It provided minimal passenger service in an old wood combine passenger car for many years.
I took these photos about ten years ago. Now there is a roof over the S1.
Here is my CAD boxcar which was a gift I received.

Some religions allow priests to marry, but not the Catholics.
Found this in a box of MR unbuilt kits and junk. Looks like it lost a couple roof vents, which are not in the box. I did this 30 years ago, and I didn't know about gloss paint under decals and the Capitol Ltd was probably never a Harriman, but I didn't care at the time and I'm not losing sleep over it now. I could have been more generous with the passengers too.

Tinplate Toddler maxman And now you know why he chose to live in celibacy. One fine day in rural Ireland, the bishop decided to visit the most remote of all the parishes to settle complaints about the not so holy lifew of the local priest. When he arrived, a pretty young woman with two cute little kids hanging onto her skirt answered the door, informing him that the minister was out, but expected to be back soon. She offered him a cup of tea to shorten the wait and while she went to fetch the tea, the priest arrived. The bishop immediately began to question him about the matters of complaint, held in for a ,oment and asked him about who those cure little kids were. The priest truthfully replied "They are my brother´s niece and nephew"! Celibacy can be advantageous!

That's a good one!
Nowadays I think they actually allow priests to be married, something about trying to increase the ranks in the priesthood.

hon30critterSorry for the graphic descriptions!
That's the topic of today, Friday's Dilbert comic.
I had a lesion shaved last week, myself. I had an aunt and uncle with skin cancer. They lived in Southern California. It killed my uncle. I have another friend who had a Mohs procedure. That is where the excise the tissue, examine it and excise more. They eventurally got down to his skull. It took another 6 procedures to get skin coverage for the wound.
I also had a quack for a dermatologist. If they biopsy two things at the same setting, the second is reimbursed at 1/2 price or less. She outright refused to biopsy two things at once and wanted me to come back every 3 months.
Afternoon folks,
I'll post a picture of the modification I made to the air cleaner "snorkel".
It actually worked really well today only cut out twice but came right back on.
I think it's 1 the load thing, weird it's just now happening. And 2 the charge is low, reasoning is the compressor cycles on and off frequently, like it's on then cuts off and right back on again.
It could be vacuum related, but the weird thing is it still blows full blast just it's not cold air.
Hopefully my check will clear tomorrow and I can go get the O2 sensor.
I'm hoping to make the run to PullAPart to get a set of GT40 heads and intake for my truck, the intake will be soon heads farther down the road.
And I hope I can convince my parents to let me buy (with my money of course) some Walthers cornerstone kits.
Afternoon Diners
Flo, give the gang and I a and Ulrich, Rick and Steven what they like.
Did a lot of running today. Even with only working 3 days a week I spend most of my 4 days off running around?
Ed Enjoyed the video as well! If I counted right the Berk was pulling 18 Passangers cars.
Steven was the A/C working right before you started hacking on the air cleaner? With the age of the truck a vacuume line may have cracked where you cannot see it. Could all so a bad Blend Door unit, it controls the vents. If you roll down the widows can you still hear the A/C compresser running?
Later, Ken
I hate Rust
Wow what a scramble today. You know how it is when you're expecting a house guest everything has to be clean and just so.
Speaking of which my brother-in-law just pulled in, got to go have a great day all
NWP Steven:
Couple of comments about your A/C. First, if your A/C unit is leaking, as buddy said, it is difficult at best to determine. (Shops put dye in the gas to determine the source of the leak. It is not discernible by the naked eye as it is an invisible gas.) What your buddy saw was water dripping off of the unit. The compressor gets cold, water vapor condenses on the unit, water drips off of the unit.
Second, the cut-off of the unit when you accelerate hard is by design. When there is a significant load on the engine from acceleration, climbing a steep grade, etc., the compressor shuts off to relieve some of the demand on the engine. The fan continues to blow, but the compressor is no longer cooling the air. If the engine is not running well, the cut-off will happen more frequently.
Richard
Good afternoon .
Kevin ... You mentiomd in another thread, you may be traveling in TN, KY, IN, and OH ...... If you care to include western KY, feel free to plan a layout tour here. ... If you are driving to Indianapolis via Nashville, compare routes. The distance from Nashville to Indianapolis via Louisville is about the same as the distance via Hopkinsville and Evansville. I am west of Hopkinsville on US 68 at Lake Barkley.
maxman gmpullman Well, I gathered up a few odds & ends from arounfd the house including a small comforter that the cats had been lying on and got all full of cat hair. For a moment I thought that you were going to say that a cat was wrapped in the comforter and went through the washer.

Ouch! Sadly, wouldn't be the first time that's happened. I saw a few weeks ago that a toddler in Colorado had crawled into a front-load washer and one of the other kids had started it! On the new ones, the door locks when it is running, too! Fortunately a parent got the kid out in time...
The parents just got the machine and had not read the "Child Safety Feature" chapter in the manual.

Afternoon folks!
They finally appeared to have the heat off today over at the fieldhouse....... It is 74°F here in Geneva at the moment and that is the high for the day. My walk was very pleasent I might add.
Yesterday I tried to mow the lawn after we had some rain. Lawn was very tall so the cuttings came out a bit soggy, but I got about 3/4 of it done. Would have finished, but I also found a very large nest of of the ground dwelling Yellowjackets right next to my Air Conditioner fan assembly... I did see the activity right after I hit the opening with my EGO Lawnmower. Actually without the noise from a gas engine, the wasps didn't seem too concerned. I did decide to wait until they were mostly in the nest for the night to continue and hit it with about a can and a half of wasp spray.... I did that over two periods. The first was too early and the nest got very active when I hit with the remains of the first can. I did get stung once, on my finger, by one that found its way to where I was (around 20' away). I decided to wait a bit longer and went back in to have dinner. One wasp somehow (probably was on my hat) got in the house. She was dispatched without a problem useing a flyswatter.... Went back out when it was getting dark and hit the nest again. There were still a lot of them coming back to the nest at that time, but I soaked the opening good. This morning I only saw one flying around near the nest. I'll check later this evening to see if they are all gone...

Need to finish the lawn in a bit, and then get back to work for the NMRA Division... We have a lot going on right at the moment and I need to be proactive in having the calendar done yesterday, so to speak.

Ford A/C will cycle normally, however its sounds like a low pressure situation.
and if the air flow is shifting to the floor or windshield when you accelerate you have a vacuum leak.

NWP SWPMy truck is giving me trouble, when I'm accelerating to highway speed the AC stops blowing cold. I turn it off and on again and it starts blowing cold.
That isn't one of those deals where the vehicles computer shuts off non-essential things at times to allow more power, is it? Nowadays they call that the "economy mode".
Good morning ..
Ed ... The Lionel gold car is whimsical for sure.... Gold was shipped in baggage cars, and remarkably it was sent as registered US Mail. .... The video of NKP 765 is great !
Steve O ... I received October MR ... Great edition ! ... Love the E8's at Union Station on the cover. ... The John Allen layout never gets old to me.
Have a nice Friday, everybody.
Morning!
TF, Brent, the other day it did the "Flop" where it stopped blowing out of the regular vents but still was running. Then yesterday bout every time I accelerated from a stop it would still blow but it would be uncooled air as if the "Vent" setting was on instead of "Max AC".
hon30critterUmmmm! Wots an arm???? That's the thing that holds the thing that you use to slap yourself in the forehead when you remember what an arm is! We better quit this Bear or it could get way out of hand!! Or, we could just go with it if only for a few laughs! Cheers!! Dave

Track fiddlerWhen is the last time any of you have been scolded?
Well, not scolded but I was a bit embarassed, and maybe could (should) have been scolded.
While I'm w**king on the layout I take care of laundry chores. Afterall, it's an automatic washer, what can go wrong.
Well, I gathered up a few odds & ends from arounfd the house including a small comforter that the cats had been lying on and got all full of cat hair.
The next day when I brought everything up from the laundry room was when I found out one of the comforters was hand crocheted from 100% wool (no wonder the cats liked it so much) and I shrank it to about 60% of its original size.
Mrs. Pullman took it in stride (maybe she's planning on washing one of my brass engines this weekend ) but I felt bad, still. Of course, I did the honorable thing... and blamed the cats!
Glad you folks liked that 765 video. She's coming to Cleveland next week, maybe I'll get back down to see her again.
Dave, If I went to the doctor to get something crusty removed all that would be left is a pair of shoes!
Track fiddler I could be right I could be wrong.... I've had my share of problems with switch relays with my Fords
A fellow I worked with burned his house down, well his Crown Vic did anyway. Bad cruise control switch in (near?) the master cylinder caught fire, car was in the garage, garage was under the house. I guess on a Ford, the switch was hot all the time.
I recall my old 1963 Cadillac had a "throttle kickdown switch" that would cut-out the AC compressor when you jumped on the accelerator (and the other two barrels opened up) I'm sure that's not Steven's problem but I remember all those little things that could cause some head-scratching when you're trying to diagnose something.
Happy Friday, Everyone
Regards, Ed

I am bored on a technically Friday Morning. I am taking a four-day weekend as my brother-in-law is coming to visit me.
I just thought this was funny. I was scolded earlier tonight.
When is the last time any of you have been scolded?
I came home after a hard day's work, eased into my recliner chair and I was scolded by my Dear Sweet Judy.
I just wanted to relax for a little while after work...... Then are you kidding me! Judy wanted me to go grocery shopping. I got scolded cuz I didn't want to go for a while.
What is this! Please do tell me! Do you guys still get scolded?
Well I went grocery shopping. I don't think I needed to be scolded because I still went.
I am like Timex, I can take a licking and keep on ticking I could probably agree I deserved scolding 20 years ago, Now now so much.
????? Thoughts Thanks
