Little Timmy
ound's to me, like this could lead to other thing's.

Careful, you might want to be on the Supreme Court one day.  Devil

Just a joke folks, as I slink away.

Ken there is a funny video on youtube, that reminded me of your situation.  The wife walks into the barn, carrying a bucket, wearing a shirt that says "Hard work pays off".  She grabs a stool and sits down behind one of the animals.  Her husband comes in and says something to her.  The video is in Croatian. 

She carries on and tries to milk the bull.  She gets kicked off the stool.

You have to be a facebookian to see this.

Right now I'm watching the premier of the Magnum P.I. reboot, so far it's OK, not the original by any means, but ok.

While we are in KY, who recalls the Everly Brothers ?

Wake up Little Susie 

Let it be Me 

Etc. 

Everly Brothers were from Central City, KY ... It was on the IC line from Paducah to Louisville..... Now on the Paducah and Louisville Railroad .... Coal mining is a big industry there. 

There is a memorial in Central City for the Everly Brothers.

Everly brothers? Never heard of em, the Isley Brothers yes, SHOUT!Laugh

One thing is even if I don't like the girl I'm doing a duet with (like as in date) it will help my social status, why? Well because for example, I told my friend Sarah that I was doing a duet, her first words were "who is she?" NOT KIDDING!

I'm looking forward to playing the art crawl, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Reminds me of something that I was told many years ago. I was told I would not make a good politician because I am too nice.

Hobby Front: Got a few more things done on the layout. Got some ballasting done on all the turnouts except for one and all the main yard joint tracks. (Still have to finish building the track that connects to car ferry yard to the main yard. I know what it will look like but I won't install it until I get most of the rest of the layout done as that will make getting to some areas a lot more difficult.) I ended up taking out some of what I had ballasted on a couple of joint tracks as I forgot I needed to build crossings on those two tracks. Thankfully the ballast was still wet when I realized my error.

Gd' Evening Ray,

Just a short note here to offer our condolences to you regarding your Sister.

I too am sure she lived a full filling life and now is with the man she served, our Lord and Savior.  

May she rest in Peace and may that Peace ( a little different Peace) be with you as well over the next while.

If you want to visit and chat awhile, I'll be in Garry's Chapel Car.

Good Afternoon!

It took me quite a while to log into this site again. Apparently, the IT guys at Kalmbach keep the door half-closed recently.

It was a cold night, followed by a clear, but also cold day. We started the grocery run of by de-icing the windshield. Quite early, this year!

Otherwise, all is quiet on the eastern front. Did a little "gardening" on my layout, adding some more green.  A couple of more trees and some bushes, that´s all it takes to finish the "scenery". Oh, I forget the pond - the bridge in the back of the layout needs a reason.

Happy times!

LION, I seem to remember a post a while ago about the knees of him giving him trouble. Is him going to be OK going up and down the stairs so much? Or is there an elevator big enough for a full-grown LION?

 

Legs and more importantly neuropathy etc, train room is a stretch, but here in the house we do have an elevator.

 

The move is comining out well. One can gather a huge amount of treasures living in the same room for over 30 years. None of it is worth anything, but is far too precious to throw out.

As model railroaders, we know all about this.

We moved a lot as a kid. My parents had a strategy for it. Put everything in three piles: Things you need and use, things you don't need or use, and things that might come in handy someday. Then get rid of the last two piles, because you're kidding yourself about that last one.

Good Morning!

It feels good to be able to log in again! A big thanks to the Kalmbach folks to have sorted things out!

Yesterday has been a weird day. While I was "operating" my layout, I noticed that my blue electric started to fail. Those old Marklin locos are really robust animals and it had just received new  brushes, so I had no clue why the hiccup in the gitalong showed up. A closer inspection revealed that two of the 4 traction tires had gone off and got tangled up in the gears. Fixing that was not a big issue, but when I started to assemble the truck again, the coupler went of into the nirvana of the floor. Now there is no carpet monster eating tiny parts and the coupler incl. shank is not a small part, but it was not to be found. Both Petra and I spent an hour on our hands and  knees searching for that dang part - to no avail! We finally gave up, silently accepting the fate and writing off the few bucks a coupler costs.

This morning, I gave it one more try and would you believe it - after a search of a few seconds, there it was, right before my very nose! I am glad to have found the coupler, but I feel a liitle Dunce about the whole issue!

Happy times!

Happy times!

Unfortunately, Ulrich I think it’s an age related issue. Besides it’s not as bad as my problems. Twice of late, I’ve put items into a “Safe Place” only to find I haven’t!!!Sad Sigh

Good morning from a wet and rainy NE Ohio. A nice storm is passing through. A little thunder, gentle rain. I like it!

Glad our host got their digital gremlins ironed out. I checken in throughout the night. All the Kalmbach sites were inaccessible. Nice to be back Yes

How about a nice, colorful, switcheroo?

According to what I read on the Kalmbach site.....they are going through a vast infrastructure change, maintenance and a New CS provider. Will not be completed until the middle of Oct. In that time anything is possible to affect all Kalmbach sites.......

Take Care! Big Smile

Nice to see you all again.  Somebody was working late last night to get us back online.  I wonder if it was a DNS attack?

My brother in law and his wife 'safely' hid several hundred dollars that they were supposed to take on a trip (to New Zealand actually!). That was about three years ago. They still haven't found it!

I recently had the reverse of that happen.  Found $50 I had tucked away for a rainy day apparently.  No idea when I hid it there! Laugh
