Evening all!

Hey - made the first page for April! Happy Anniversary to us!

Everything is all set up for the TW Trainworx Layout Festival tomorrow. Just a few last minute cleanup items in the am. Benefits our local Ronald McDonald House and it is an LCCA Special Event. Will be a fun day.

Good evening all,

Quiet day at work. Rainy day for walk. Watched Grimm. Happy ending so to speak. I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

April 2004 Savannah GA. I was working special event at Bass Pro Shops there. Last month it read, “Marching to year 13.”

Mornin’ boys. Cool and damp along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Need to get a screw removed from the R/R tire.

This week spent organizing shop(s), then painting woodwork for cab roof. Wifey says I’m thinning out, so that’s a plus.

Middle princess brought home a nice young man she met at work. They work opposite hours on the same ward, but spend their off-time together. She likes steak; his family owns cows. Sounds like a match to me.

Sandbag to groin…? [:S] 50 shades of Banks…?

Oh Okay Chief. Sorry.

Morning all. Need to take truck monday to have at least one break line repaired. While getting the tire replaced at Firestone yesterday, they discovered that one has rusted thru at points. Of coarse they don’t do break lines.[:(!] Don’t have the tools to do it.

No train news today

Hope all have a good one

Busy day ahead. Sunny and 65 degrees. Great news Banks.

RT, nothing to be sorry about. I can understand. Last month’s was confusing.

Have a good one.

Happy birthday to the pot.

We have bright sun and 55 degrees going for today

Not bad for a Friday the 13th.

S.J.

Sunny but cold starting off the day on The North Bluff but they say it will hit 55 today like SJ said. I hope so.

Going to take a day off of trains.

Sat.85 Sun. 82 Mon. 73

Kev you work fast, I spend too much time reading the newspaper, but I want to read the newspaper.

I had to sign in.

Weather was nice,

I soldered TVSs to 5 lockons today to power the elevated loop. I also cut 80+ foot of guard rail out of the FRP panel I got to use on the platform. The rest of the day I enjoined the high 50 temps and sunshine we had . Also re-uped my scrip to the CTT rag that cost more but gets smaller. [:^)]

Evening all,

85 today, cloudy, nice breeze. Possible rain tonight, 3 am’ish.

Layout festival went great today. The gang that worked it went out for dinner after. Fun day.

You have a point there.

Slept late, jumped up, got ready fast and went to Sunday School. Sunny and 69 degrees. Came home by Hardees with a biscuit. Then turned on TV. Suddenly reclinerized.

No frost here. Hope to make one more week of tomatoes in the greenhouse. Really tall. Transplant then in garden.

Think Wifey wants to go get mulch. She is running by the museum that is being crowed by folks with curiosity.

Probably do a walk about as weather pretty.

Hope all have a great day.

Afternoon fellas

Tired. Been working on and off since Friday night due to integration. At this point I’m beginning to think we should have done a ‘walk-through’ last weekend. Hope we are done soon.

TheQ’s trip to The Big D was a success, but she is tired. Not sure when she’ll be able to recharge her batteries.

Hope all is well with the Gang.

Happy Birthday Fellas

Hello there.

Thanks again for your prayers.

Got Mom in the Er. Was afraid she has pneumonia. Coughing like mad and weak as he!!.

I agree .The magazine gets thinner but they keep putting out high priced special issues. Wish they’d put some of that content in the magazine instead .

Moving on.

Prayers for those in need

Banks I think you found the answer, what use to be in the mag is now a seperate buy.

Hello all! Relaxing weekend this was, didn’t need two shots of “Makers Mark” to calm down Friday night like I did last week.

Picked up some odds 'n ends at the local hobby shop (Tiny Tim’s Trains and Toys in Ashland VA) even got to see some CSX and Amtrak run-bys while I was there. Then off to the gym for a soak in the whirlpool. Hey, Lady Firestorm keeps telling me to go soak my head, and I always take her advice!

Cut the grass and whizzed the weeds today, then added a Williams “Steam Sounds” unit to the Lionel 221 I bought in Florida back in October. Hey, after 70 years that little Dreyfuss look-alike now has a voice! Seems to like it too! I wonder if I can figure out a way to squeeze a smoke unit in there?

Good evening,

For me it was a slow day but I did mock up a short section to see just what the elevated track will look like with the FRP strips I cut as guard rail. Next I will paint the wood in a concrete color and check it out and try to figure out how to best build it with the least amount of effort. The single leg is just there to keep it from falling over.

Banks, Glad everything went well for you and hope the best for your mom and I agree with SJ that you nailed it on the CTT thing.
