JimG97P - I’ve done that in the past using my phone and the mobile version of ebay! Glad you got your “fix”!
Rich - prayers for good results ASAP!
Ray - got you on the screen! I think it’s Don’s turn to drive, we’ll have to swing by and see if his neighbor - uh, I mean if he is still up!
Keep fingers crossed - doctor said if nothing surprises us tomorrow or Friday, Char can come home Friday [:)]
Tardis is ready, so let’s hit it!
PS - Jack, congrats!
PPS - sounds like a sweet engine, Chief!
Morning all. Quick stop for a cup before going in. Brutus, that is great news…now lets pray for her to pull this final round and bust out of that place! I am sure she and the whole family are ready for her to come home.
Chief, I had my Legacy upgrade sitting around for some time before I put it in. Should have some trains going this weekend, but we have quite a schedule for the next few weeks. I will just have to make time.
Hope everyone has a blessed day,
Dennis
Good morning all,
It is cold in SE Indiana with a dusting of Snohiozone on the ground. Sending an “extra” to “Points West” with load of prayers for Char’s homecoming. I did a lot last night with really nothing tangible to show for it. Results may be down the road. Mostly involved conversations with family members and items for wife on computer. Long day, busy day at work. I had english muffins and cereal on the dining car for breakfast before sending it on to “Points East”. TBIL anytime tonight and I can drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Morning. Woke up early and could not go back to sleep. Blame it on wifey. She woke me up at 4:30 to ask what time my Dr.'s apt was. She was going to ride with me in to town. I did doze for a while to get up and find her getting ready to go to work. She changed mind and car pooled. BRRRR Ordered her a Kindel for Christmas. She goes out yesterday and buys another brand that was on sale. BRRRRR Well, no breakfast and only black coffee as I have blood work done today. Guess I will get ready and go in to Dr’s early. Got meetings with BB&T and RBC today to discuss the financing of the $900,000 fire truck.
Have a good one.
Hi GUYZ,
30 degree difference from yesterday, its 32 now. Big rains and winds here.
BANKS, I’ll be going out on Saturday too. Going to be the dog for BRO and UNCLE.
DENNIS, WOW 27 PTS!!! Big deer, I’ll have to check the net for pics.
BRENT, thats a nice sight to see, the deer at quite the distance.
JOE, maybe have to go SOUTH to the CHIEFs when I retire after next year?
CHIEF, I had my Legacy upgrade since June, just loaded it up in November. Just got done with new benchwork.
JACK, BIG CONGA! On 3years.
Stay frosty,

Good Morning from Blueberryhill…
It is a snowy 30 degrees. Light snow cover on the ground. Going up to 42 today.
Today is an easy day. Wife is going grocery shopping and I have a few chores to do.
I had a great meeting with Buckeye yesterday. It was good to see him again. We planned a big snow storm for NC. They deserve a white Christmas.
Dining car is here and it’s Cheerios for breakfast.
Y’all have a great Thursday.
Chuck
JACK,
Sorry bout the font size the site got a little nuts up and wouldn’t let me switch back to 14 pt. Go figure? BIG CONGA anyway.

CHUCK,
Glad to here that the meeting with BUCKEYE went well. Did YUZ GUYZ talk about the new SNOW CANON for the state of SNO HI ZO? Whats that co ordenence for NC again?
laz57
**LAZ…**The snow cannon is ready. Buckeye takes care of the technical data. I just pull the cord and let her rip.
Aloha all. Looks like the sun is coming up all pink and red and salmon. 'Red sky at morning, Sailors take warning." Look out, Fife! Looks like a nice busy day here. Glad the Snohio Summit went well - we are practicing snow drops here.
Mornin’ boys. Sunny & 32 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Saw the “pink” sunrise an hour before cnw1995. Had my Marine unit interview yesterday;thought I did good…we’ll see. Unfortunately, woke up to wind damaged pvc gate (didn’t close it [sigh]). Gonna set us back a few hundred (of course they don’t manufacture that particular style any longer [banghead]).
So, wifey asked what’s on my wish-list. Told her “nothing”. She told me to pick “something”, or she will order the wrong “nothing”. I liked the upcoming release of MTH’s B&O 2-bay fish belly hoppers (6-pack). Then I started noticing inacuracies. Numbered wrong for one. Ribbed (wrong) sides caused them to apply the B&O off center. The more I study them, the more disenchanted I get. Oh, well…back to “nothing”.[sigh]

Good Morning
30 with snow flurries, no biggy. The average snowfall for december is 12 inchs so we have it coming sooner or later. I am expecting a visit with Charlie tonite, we shall play with trains and just chat…Eggs with sausage gravy for breakfast.
S.J.
Please be sure of the coordinates. Want to make sure nothing drops on us here in Virginia! Over shooting to SC is OK.
Pat
Good Morning, Guys!
Its 30-ish today, sunny and a little breezy. Car is DOA and, naturally, had 2 fire calls. At least the Harley runs, but it is a brisk trip to say the least…on both false alarms…[banghead]. And now that the bike is out and ready, it’ll be quiet the rest of the day…go figure.
Put some stuff up for sale to a “local” retailer, we’ll see if I get any bites. Then the diecast drag race stuff goes on to the 'bay. Need to generate some cash. I have 2 vehicles to work on, and need to get them scheduled so I can get there and make the repairs…and I might be contracted to decorate another house.
I’m slowly getting most of my trains boxed up and re-stored. Someone dropped off a bunch of hard plastic cases at the firehouse. I’m lining them with foam and/or bubble wrap and storing trains and trackage in them. Works really good…I wonder if that’s a tip I can send to CTT? What do ya think, Bob? Kent?
OK, back to the work search. RT, yeah I was thinking/hoping the same thing…I get a call Friday afternoon…I need ya Monday…and thanks for the prayers on that guys. It will come on God’s time, but I wish He would hurry up!!
Check ya later…and, yeah, you can miss us with that Snohzo til like 2 weeks from now…[swg]
Chuck,
Make sure the cannon doesn’t backfire this year like it did last February. Left me wondering if the Chief paid you and Buckeye for that.[;)]
Ray (AF53),
What K5 is that in your avavtar? I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for those. Stay tuned, I’ll be posting some AF pics and maybe videos once the Christmas layout is up and running.
The 490/492 NP alcos arrived yesterday, and they are beautiful aside from some sort of residue on the roofs. I gave them a brief test and put them away until Christmas. The 490 runs but needs a light clean and lube, and the 492 roars as it should. Love that sound.
The 30B just got here a few minutes ago, and it looks good. There is something rattling around inside, so I’ll have to remove the case and check it out.
Long busy day. Hope we found some “cheap” money for fire truck. Still cold and will stay that way. Ugly word in forecast. Possible light snohio flurries or a dusting Sat night. [:O]
Later
Yeah thats Okay as I have the ricochet shield up to send right back to N.C. and western VA.
hey pat just for you perfect example how southerns deal with snow.
this is how we keep them busy all day
fife, Your starting to sound like one of those rivet counting 2-railers. Guess you are going to have to start buying Atlas to get all the details correct. [(-D]
Seriously Bob at AM Hobbies has some nice B&O hoppers but only in two road numbers. I have a pair of them and they are nice.
Maybe Santa could bring you those?
Good Evening
Me and Charlie have been runnin trains…heaps of fun tonite.
Banilla and rootbeer is on me tonite…S.J.
