You'll probably believe I've never tried any of Trappey's Bull hot sauce. If it's like any of the local hot sauces around here, it'll disolve your fork out of your hand. You need a cast iron stomach.
Have fun. I'll go back and admire your KCS stuff again.

PC, I'm figuring on a couple of things - get my layout to where I can run some trains when the grandbaby is old enough to get out, and find a Thomas the Train Engine (or is there a Thomasina in pink?) that isn't made in China...
Thanks to the rest of you also - Chloe, I'm buying a round for the crew (and any other Diners who come in).
Blessings,
Jim in Cape Girardeau
Decaf...just kidding, the usual please & thank you1
***Jim, CONGRATS "old man". There must be a way to use this news to buy more trains, yes?
***Jeffrey, enjoy seeing what you create. Love the old loco getting taken over by growth...nice touch! Just one question, what kind of "tower" is that in the second pic, the red & white one?
Thunderstorms in the area today, but all south of here so of no help to our dried up creeks what-so-ever. Even the big Salacoa Creek now contains only a few spread out puddles, so there is no longer any backup H2O for us. "EEKS" Must call my neighbor upstream first thing in the AM to make sure he is watering his horses. They were all at the road looking over our way this evening. I'm getting worried now.
Hope everyone is doing well. Rob

Here's a couple more.
Good morning ! from Indiana.

Morning, Janie - where is everyone else this morning? I see Bill T.'s the only one who's been in today. Even Jeff is sleeping in? Well, I'll have a cup of the coffee, if that's a new pot and not the one Rob got his from last night... Oh, good, it is a new pot! Thanks, I'll have that, a glass of Ed's OJ (if it hasn't run out yet), and one of those twisty donuts, please.
I'll be finishing this up, and then got to go do the laundry thing, and catch up with the MRR club to help them finish moving the stuff to the new location.
Take care of yourselves and your loved ones, and I'll see you later in the day.
Blessings and prayers,
Coffee, please. And maybe one of thoe glazed twists.
It has been almost a week since I have been in. Family stuff. I will get to the back posts later. You guys have been busy so it will take a while.
Later, Sue
Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Mornin' all!
Not much to say right now. Slept in and now I've got to go rebuild a carb. I've been putting it off, but now's the time!
Beautiful day today BTW!
Good Morning.
I was taking some pics on the layout and I came up with this shot.
So far, this little camera is really surprising me. I bought it on a whim, thinking that for $10 it was probably junk. Looks like I was wrong.
BTW, todays weather is:
Today High: 92 Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some thunderstorms may produce heavy rainfall. Highs in the lower 90s. Light and variable winds becoming southeast around 10 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 50 percent.
Tonight Low: 75 Mostly cloudy. Lows in the mid 70s. South winds up to 10 mph in the evening becoming light and variable.
Pc: I found a car for you. It has your name all over it. MUSCLE!
in a UP mug, please & thank you!
***Did someone mention a goat? Here is a photo of "Puddles", (aka: Pygmy Auto Vac)...
Worked out most of the details for the Inlaw Suite. Below will be my train room which will be 20'x22'. Now I need to figure out how many windows and where to put them? North facing only? Also thinking of cutting out about 4'x22' for storage, hidden staging, etc... Room might have one or two support posts in it, not sure yet. Will probably start on the foundation within the next month, so some decisions will need to be made soon.
Rob
Morning folks!
JIM: Awhile ago, you asked why no one was in... It was 5 am over here then!
4 days to go... Gotta wait.... Waiting is boring, isn't it?
Well, I'm gonna go drum. I feel like some ZEPPELIN to start the day.
Mark.

That wasn't quite where I was going with that Rob!
How on earth did i miss this?
Army National Guard E3MOS 91BI have multiple scales nowZ, N, HO, O, and G.
Evening guys, Zoe, I'll take a large glass of sweet tea.
Forgot to update, my brother went back to his apartment Wendsday, his healing process has been quick. Those thoughts and prayers shure helped. Thanks again.
"Lionel trains are the standard of the world" - Jousha Lionel Cowen
I just saw a very interesting consist roll through here.
I was checking out a parked loco on a siding, CSX #8054 (SD40-2), when a train pulls to a stop nearby. Now most of the trains in this area have two, maybe three loco's on them. Not this one! This one had five! And they were interesting ones too!
On the point was CSX #7521 (C40-8....looking mighty tired!), then was HLCX #7521 (SD40-2.....ex.BN), next was CSX #2554 (GP38-2), followed by CSX #1562 (GP15-1.....ex. Conrail) and CSX #1535 (GP15-1.....ex. Conrail).
Now thats something you just don't see very much around here!
I only wish I'd had my camera!
Good evening to all...I hope everybody had a nice Saturday, we sure did here, the weather has been great. 59F now at 8pm, 46F Dew Point (DP) and 62% Rh. This also explains why we are not having a good crop of tomatos this year, very slow to ripen. Today I started on framing the stairway in the garage as part of closing it in and insulating the stairway to the 2nd floor for winterization ( future larger layout area ).
RYAN: For a weather station, I only have experience with Davis Instruments, from Hayward, CA. They make top line equipment that is used worldwide. It is more expensive than what you have indicated but they do have some units within your budget, check out their website at http://www.davisnet.com/home_flash.asp
JIM: Congrats on approaching Grandfatherhood!!! I see a Thomas the Train in your future!!!
JERRY: I sure hope that Sallie gets back home soon, it is very lonesome to be without your best friend after many years of married life.
ROB: That will be one nice area for a layout, and you have the time now to plan the construction of the area so no poles and beams are in the way, nor water pipes overhead that can leak.
Speaking of Goats, we went to a Goat farm yesterday to buy some Goat cheese. They had 150 acre farm and many Goats, at least 50 from what I saw.
JEFF: For $10, I would say that you got quite a deal, that camera took some good clsoe up photos of your layout.
PAUL: Did you get much rain from the TS?
ED: Gagne cannot be allowed to pitch on Friday nights, he blows every save, three games now that the Sox should have had in the win column.
SUE: Glad to see you are back in the Diner, we thought you got lost in the tunnel biking again. LOL

***Dick, the only thing that will be "unavoidable" is running two water lines (hot/cold) from our existing house to the far/oposite wall of the Inlaw Suite, which will be above the train room. Will post the rough idea soon for both clarification and any suggestions.

***Is it pretty good cheese? Betcha the four-legged "Yard Goats" cost much less to keep up than the old Steam variety did. Would love to have one of the latter versions sitting in my front yard on some old rails. THAT would be cool, and the four-legged yard goats could keep the weeds from growing up around the BIG yard goat, too.
Pc: That's a problem I frequently have.
You guys ever seen a Hall type locomotive?
