Jim: I'm repainting it in the KCS black and white scheme used in the 60's. I'm having to fudge a little bit because my white paint dried up on me, so I'm using a light gray. I'm going to vary the paint job also. The pilot and steps will be the same gray.

Mornin, an irish coffee Zoe,
Got -2 two this morning, with a wind chill round -14. Looking for mostly a sunny day with a high round 15, more of the same tomorrow, only with snow starting in the afternoon.
Power went out again last night with 9 minutes left in the game, was out for 2 hours again. Temp outside was +3, so the house was starting to cool off. BIL and 3 nephews had came out to watch the game, they weren't to happy but it. I got out our old radio and found a station broadcasting the game, got to hear the end anyway.
Thought da Bears was going to do something last night, but didn't seem like they could get their act togaither and play well, and Grossman played to his normal low, so Congrads to the COLTS.
Did spend some time on the layout this weekend, but didn't get much done. To many kids and honey-do's. Might get some done today and tomorrow, no kids. Best get on ta chores if'en I want any play time. Hope ya'll has a good one and stay warm.

Good Morning All,
Hazy and 5F with the wind chill to -11 this morning. Forecast high is 16. Just a regular to go for me this morning please. Lots to do this week and it's not letting up any. Did get some layout time in yesterday between chores and before the game. Been working on one of the Central Valley truss bridges where you get to put together the girders, then cut and fit it all together. I have just the place to put it, but I've been at this bridge for several evenings now. I really need to finish it so I have a loop again on the lower level.
Jeff - hope the Dr. visit goes well and the kidneys are ok.
Inch - we were pullin for the Bears but they just couldn't get going in the second half. better luck next year. Hope your power company figures out the reason for so many outages soon. It's too cold to be left with no heat or electricity for hours on end.
Time to pick up tools and get on with it. CUL,J.R.
Hey! Mornin' All!
How 'bout them Colt's, huh? Yeah buddy!
Gotta head into the office today and cover things. Two of our department heads are out for the week so I'm covering them and doing my own job. Should be an interesting week, huh? Can't wait to get home already.....and I haven't even left yet!
Jeff, I thought they just did an ultrasound on you?
And inch! Whats the deal man? You live in Indiana and you root for the Bears!!! Shame on you!!! You don't even have the excuse of living near Chicago! For shame my friend! Oh ye of little faith!

Morning all. Got the ultrasound over with this morning and am now enjoying breakfast. They checked out my kidneys, gall bladder and liver. I don't know what they're looking for, but I hope it's not serious.
For anybody who's curious about my breakfast, I'm eating teriaki chow mien
Chow time, think I'll have a ham n cheese and coffee Zoe

HEY PC, I live in ILLINOIS and have been a BEARS fan over 50 year. Colts have never been one of my farvorite teams.
GMT, we know what most the problem is with our power. 1 it's a co-op, 2 there's only 16 houses on this line and none of us are bigwigs in the area [and I was told that by one of the bosses]. So, they don't keep the trees trimmed way back and don't replace poles, unless they break.
Best get back and bring in pellets and corn. Was waiting on the temps to rise some, it has now it's 7 above.

Ooops, I see that now that I look at your location under your avitar. For some reason I thought you were around Evansville. Appologies!
Good afternoon everyone, has everyone recooperated from watching the big game in the Diner yesterday? Mike went home sad, PC was doing the Irish jig on top of the counter until Cloe gave him a swat, no one has seen Fergie since halftime, we sent Der John out to look for him with Luc, but they never returned either!!! Then Cloe discovered that the entire box of Rum Balls was gone.........now we all know how Der John likes those Rum Balls.....so that ended the search for all three of our Canadian friends. Mon Dieu!!!!
Well today it is 12.4F, with wind gusts to 40 Mph. The wind chill at the moment is reading -3F. I had to bring in more firewood, and believe me I made that trip in record time!!!
JEFF: Hope the ultrasound come up negative buddy.
CAPE JIM & PAUL: Guys, after being married for 47 years, you need to learn to be ONE STEP ahead of the wife. I have a "war" map in my computer room. On this map, I have a circle around all the places that she frequents to shop and then some. I then have puch pins inserted where all the LHS are located. So, whenever she wants to go somewhere, I have a plan already in place. ( Military training does come in handy )
MIKE: Tsk, tsk, tsk, that was a sad performance by the Bears, and they started off so well with that runback on the opening kickoff. Grossman was really intimidated by the big game. Next year Mike!!!!!
So what is everyone up to today ?
Just to let you know what I've been up to
I've been doing a bit of paint work today. Sorry about the blurry pics. My camera sucks!
Before trim work and decaling.
And after.
Here's another one I just decaled. A GP40P-2.
I just converted an Athearn F7A BB to DCC. It's always been a good runner but couldn't crawl well. Now it can crawl, and it's top speed is so fast that the cars derail. I'm getting more of these NCE decoders. Walther's part #524-139, NCE Silent Running 2 function decoder.
Evening All:
JimCG: Actually there are 2 LHSs near the doc's office. Not much more then 5 min to one of the m and 10 min to the other. Actually the doc is a great guy and a gun owner and shooter. We have a bunch to talk about besides Mary Ann. Now my urologiset is a model railroader. He's in O gauge. I was going to make a smart alec remark but Bergie would have deleted it and me.
I hate to mention what our weather was today. Well OK you talked me into it. Try 61F and sunny no wind to speak of and sitting in the sun was great.
When we got up early this morning I called my former boss and told him that I wasn't coming in today because I had a bad case of retirement. I can't repeat what he said.
Jeff: Nice job on the E unit.
Well it's early but I'm going to hit the sack. I'll see you all tomorrow.
Good Night All
Good midnight everyone, 9.2F right now with a wind chill of -7F....and we have an other week of this cold at least. But the woodburner and the Pellet stove are doing a banner job at keeping the house very comfortable.
PAUL: That must have been very rewarding for you to call in to the former boss with that statement..LOL. Now remember Paul...stay out of Mary Ann's kitchen !!!!!!! BTW, don't you think you have time now for a companion? Like a nice Border Collie to help you round up the cattle while you swing on your hammock with a soft drink and MRR in your hand?
What commercial on the SB game did you guys think was the best/worst?
See you guys in the morning, bon soir,
02-06-07
Mornin, coffee Zoe,
Not as cold this morning, we have 6 on the plus side and 0 wind chill,under cloudy skies, looking for a high round 18. Ok that's the good part, we also have 3-4 inches of snow forcast for this afternoon. Oh well it can always be alot worse.
PC, thats alright, you only missed home by about 80 mile to far south. Jerry and me are bout 18 mile west of Terre Haute just off I-70. I did live by Peru IND. for a short, when I was station at Grissom, and me an Mother both have family round the Terre Haute area.
DICK, I do bout the same thing with the wife when she wants me to go shopping with her. There's not to many LHS round here, so I get to do some Rail fanning. Like this Saturday, she suppose to go to #3 daughters in Springfield. There's a LHS 2 blocks from her house, plus maybe get some pics going and coming.
Don't think it was the big game that got to Grossman. He just play like he did the last half the season. The whole team played poorly. The team played that way twice in regular season. Bears lost both those games
Best get ta chores, got things to do before the snow starts. Ya'll have a gooden
Sweltering here with the temp a balmy 9F when I got up. Or maybe I'm getting balmy. Got lots done yesterday and need to do the same today. Finally got the bridge girders to look like a bridge, now all I have to do is figure the best way to secure them to the center span and I can make some real progress. Finally got my photo disc into the home computer - seems I was looking in all the wrong places for the link. Now to figure out how to post to Railimages again and then link a few here.
Paul - That must have made your bosses day. Used to have an employee who would call in with eye trouble. You's ask what the problem was and he'd reply that he just couldn't see coming to work that day.
