Laz57;
Don’t know what Lionel is really up to but latest shipping schedule-1/12/09-shows coal tipple packs to ship September '09.
Chief look out! headline on yahoo this after noon " More people left California than any other state last year"
Afternoon all or should I say evening. Anyway had a normal day did find out the part to repair my engine is $69.95 at electric railroad. My Kasey Kahne Expansion pack due in tomorrow while I’m at work[:D] ( I have OT tomorrow and Wed. )
Talk to you all later time to go fix some dinner
Howdy All
RT good luck with your GP9 project. Nothing going on at the S.J. household except looking out the window. gave a couple of trains a few laps and finished CTT. My wife had a Dr. appointment for tomorrow but forcasters are all guessing for a nasty day so she changed her appointment. I let her bring it up and decide because whatever I tell her ,we all know would be wrong. Yea I love her but that part about the husband being the head of the house got lost during the 80s I think. I’ll stop back later…TTFN S.J.
Hey Dennis, that’s what happens when you argue with edw about anything!!!
Thanks for the picture of Anderson Station. I saw the befores but not the afters. It’s a real shame. Also saw video of the Elizabeth Fire Capt’s service. Bostons own Lt. Kevin Kelly died in the freak accident, he was late of Firehouse USA on USA network. I sorta remember him, great guy almost 30 years in the fire service. Shame to loose him.
Got a package from Ohio today, wonder what it might be…?
Stay WARM, frosty is for beer!

S.J. In our house we have a general understanding:
#1. I make the big decisions and she makes the little decisions.
#2. She decides which are big decisions and which are little decisions.
[:D] [:o)]
Doug or Ray —
Do either of you guys have a floor fan that is not in use?? Our Air Conditioning isn’t working well, and the repair guy is gone on vacation. Thanks
Chuck…I was horrified to learn that you had lost your photos, so here is the one I know you cherish above all others. The next time you see me, Tom or Laz, we will be more than glad to autograph it for you. [(-D]
BTW, did you lose the photo of the Chief? If so, I’m afraid I don’t have any, but my friends at the Ohio Highway Patrol have hundreds.
It’s too bad the Chief doesn’t loose our email addresses. I have always thought if my email was Go_Sherman_Go.Northwon.com the emails from the Chief would stop.
Chicago Doug…I hope you have the hatches on tight tonight because the boat is going to get some big waves. [:O]
SD Doug…Your weather reports are entertaining. No where in the world is the weather that bad. Sun and warm; who would want to live like that?
Chief…O-72 switches are working perfect.
Laz… After thinking about all the miles you are running, fife and I want to invest in your “miles run bank.” So starting tomorrow, please up the milage to 42 miles per day. That should be enough to get both fifedog and me in great shape by June using the banked mileage.
since the chief hasn’t made it in yet Quick call the bomb squad for that box from Ohio!!!
that fire what a shame . I hate seeing landmarks go up.
Well Brutus the beacon is on got the pineapple upsidedown cake waiting[dinner]
Yeah Fife, I been a BAAAAD boy! If they knew some of the things I did in my early years…well, can’t go there. We have an old saying, don’t get even, get ahead.
RT, the fire post was the one in question. Glad it was able to finally get on. Thought it would be of interest to a lot of folks here.
Well, got an email from the folks at Apple. They sent a video explaining how to copy the songs from the computer to the unit. I have been loading a bunch of songs from some site called “FileVOom” that has all kinds of songs. Been listening to “Dock of the Bay” and some Allman Brothers. Also watching Trains and Locomotives on the “Boston and Maine in the Four Seasons”. Really like this RFD-TV.
Sounds like Kevin in AK has the door jammed open and we are all about to get a Arctic blast. Hope everyone has a good night. Have another big day tomorrow.
God Bless,
dennis
Sorry Don, all packed away in storage but if this keeps up I’m going to fire up the AC. If it gets to uncomfortable we could spend the day at the museum playing with trains. [:D]
BUCKEYE,
42 miles WOW??? Gee, I’m only doing 21 a week now and you want 42? I better start right after dinner. I got gett YUZ GYZ
Yes, Buckeye, that is my most favorite picture. Thanks.
FIFE,
Sorry man, was the WINGs and YUENGs. I’ll be a running ALL WEEK LONG.
laz57
Thanks MEL, probably the ole bait and switch? I’ll be a looking for it, probably get a case?
laz57
Dennis, hold onto your chair, I’m going to agree with you.
I enjoy our discussions because they are always intellectually stimulating.
(Now if we could only get anjdevil2 to elevate his game.) [:-^]
Today’s meetings are over. Tomorrow is breakfast [free] and a meeting. May drive up to lake house and back. Resting and watching TV. LAZ, three boxes of coal in the mail [USPS]. Later.
Sorry Don, my only floor fan is already in use blowing hot air out of my train room. Thanks for the pictures of the fire trucks on flatcars. Looks like the AGHR layout from that so called red rock canyon in the background. Don, those pictures of the dry river bed with the leaf blowers was a hoot. Kinda like putting your finger in a dike or something or closing your eyes if you want to hide. Must be a good analogy for this.
My son is feeling much better today. He went to the dentist and they feel confident they can repair the damage without too much trouble. Restaurant people called today and said they have turned the matter over to their headquarters and would be getting back to us. Sounds like they are taking some responsibility for the unsafe condtions around the place. I’m glad to hear it. I think my son would be satisfied if they just cover the dental bill.
Thanks to all you guys who expressed good wishes for my son. I have’nt had time today to look at everything on the Coffee Pot.
Ray
Getting cold in the St. Louis area as well, but warmed up today for a while first. Storms went overhead and no rain around here, too warm for snow today. Gonna hit 0 in a couple days. Home Depot called and window sash replacement came in - $26. Laz - really like that coal tipple! Could you use some pvc with a screw down the inside (all this tilted a bit to one side) and maybe the motor from an old drill or something to pull the coal up - motor could be at the bottom out of sight… Just a thought! Watching some old stuff on ebay, so TTFN! Gotta get to RT’s before all that cake is gone! Banilla?
Brutus, bring it on. S.J. and the banilla are waiting.
Not much to say, stayed up too late and have a dark early case to get to. I got more photos of that train station that burned in Hackensack…thing went up like a blow torch in some of the photos.
Rich, said some prayers for you last night. Just use the P.U.S.H method…Pray Until Something Happens. May not be the answer you wanted, but in the end He knows the path of your life. We will continue to pray for you brother.
I have been reading my new OGR…a good magazine, but I enjoy CTT a lot better. I think Alan Miller will be good over there, but has a lot to deal with.
Hope it is a good day for each of you.
Dennis
