Hey NavyJack, the Princess is my daughter. My missus and I are separated. They’re in Florida and I moved back to New Jersey…
As far as the Fords go (and it kills me cuz I’m a Mopar guy), you really can’t go wrong. VW, Ford and Chrysler have made HUGE strides in quality and I would definitely shop a Ford. Very nice vehicles. I had a Fusion for a company car and it was great! Really liked it.
OK, I’ve cleaned the bathroom and bedroom, so I’m off to get mail, check on the storage thing and go to the firehouse to check in.
And I plan on continuing to tempt you into adding some PreWar Flyer to your collection. [}:)]
Afterall, that Polar Express Passenger train of yours is 3 rail. And every child should have a passenger train and an engine with some freight cars in its consist.
Aloha all. Woke up to 4 or 5 inches of snow which I cleared by 7 am. Youngest bounded out there with me at 0-dark-30 to make snow angels, snowballs, snowfort and snowman. Like to see the muck through his 8 year old eyes. [:D] Then took him off to choir practice, and visited with the Big Man afterwards. Now, we’re off to go sledding at the big hill by his school. Then maybe a few chores around the house if I survive… [;)]

UPS man brought my new MTH Southern PS4 last night. Runs and looks great! I’m running my scale GGD pullman cars with it and they look fine. I’ve already bought and sold two sets of the MTH green cars over the years so I thought I would try something new. Pullman green looks fine.
Weather is cloudy with rain predicted for tomorrow.
41 at Exit 77 going down to 28. John, you’re correct I didn’t know you knew that. And yes she does go all out at Christmas, she has since I was just a young lad!
Have fun at work while I play at home with my new (old) AF clockwork!
Well just got a snow report from the chief. I just sat down and the phone rang asking if I sent it to him. I told him to ask his buddy pat about it its too warm here its 53 degrees cloudy but nothing coming down white or liquid form.
Just got home from work. hope all at brutus’s house is starting to get settled down again with the misses being back at home.
RT - My guess is your Reflector Shield malfunctioned and the OHIO cannon shot was misdirected to the Chief. Maybe the Cordination Direction Sight needs adjusted.
Ceegars all around, boys. Became a Fife"pop" (of sorts). Oldest stepson and gf had a little boy. Hope to get over to Eastern Shore in a couple weeks for a meet-n-greet. Life ends. Life begins. World goes on. Took littleset princess to Kenilworth train display. Lots of parents and kids; and that’s good. Worked Santa parade this afternoon. Lots of folks came out in the cold. We need Christmas in a big way this year.
cnw1995- She looks a little skeptical…[*-)]
anjdevil- Middle princess will be doing some tree selling at 47. Thought I did good on my marine interview. Hope to be patrolling the bay this summer (if only in a reserve capacity).
Ray, Don’t get tendonitis winding up your clockwork AF. I am planning on setting the Christmas Story Dept 56 on the mantle over the wood stove this year. The outside gets decorated tomorrow.
Brutus, I am Glad that Char is home.
NavyJack, Gigi wants the red Mustang GT Convertible with the hot stick shift. Whoops that is my daughter’s.
I watched tv ran some trains and granny made a great beef roast with mashed taters and gravy. To me, better tasting than a steak. Banilla is ready but someone else can drive tonite, I’m still a little lite headed from last nights loop-d-loops…S.J.
Good evening everyone. Doug, some good friends your way said they had snow too. Got home short time ago after spending many dollars on new curtains for the formal living room. Oh well, SWMBO is happy.
Fife, congratulations on the grandchild. Another sailor in the making?
Have to get some sleep early tonight as we are going to FIL’s house tomorrow for Christmas with one part of the family.
Fife - 10-4 on the middle Princess @ 47…and big congas on the grandpop-ness!
Sold 41 trees today to match our Station #41…had a chimney fire during it all in another township. Missed the truck, but the Deputy Chief bought me dinner! Very cool!
It is Shohiozoning in the Hoosier Land all day today. )))&*)& Ohio snow cannons got pointed the wrong way again and showered Indiana instead of the intended target. Guys, you need to check coordinates first. Brutus, it is indeed good news to hear Char is home again. This has been a continuing story for a long, long time and we all hope this is the happy ending we have been waiting for. Fife, congrats on the new baby! We went to see “Morning Glory” last night. Good movie. Did some work setting stuff up at the museum today. More work and trains are needed. I hope the others step up and do what they said they would do. Will be a poor exhibit if they do not. I had the regular fare on the dining car for breakfast. TBIL anytime. I hope everyone has a good day.
Howdy guys - Chief says he got snow! It was warmer here today, maybe about 40, but tonight the wind was stronger and really cold! Spent most of the day running around getting supplies and medicine from walgreens and walmart. Also did the grocery shopping and picked up The Expendables to watch, which is really good but bloody.
FifePOP - congrats! [:)]
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. She is doing pretty well, although still trying to get the medicine routine down at home. She has been eating well, so that’s terrific and got some uninterrupted sleep last night.
I notice that the loop-de-loops screwed up the SNOWHIO GUN targeting reticle? We’ll have to go repair that tonight!
