Evening all Feb 1 Time to get the new pot going
Konnichiwa,
Wow, I’ve never been one of the first ones to post before, but it does make sense since I’m in the future.
I’m about to leave the office for the day and have a few minutes to post now. I had a quick six-mile run this morning in some nice, cold air. It was about 26 when I started my run. It warmed up during the day to about 50. I had a fairly easy day at work today which was a nice change to the past few Friday and I’m actually going home about an hour early. The wife and I have dinner date tonight but we haven’t decided where we’re going yet.
Bob – Please send me some of that snow.
B****rent – Welcome back. Have a safe trip to FL and I hope all goes well with the birth.
Bo – I have a friend, who has to have ketchup on everything he eats, and I mean everything – it makes me [+o(] thinking about it.
Brutus – I’m sorry to hear about the wife’s work situation. Hopefully things will change and it won’t be the whole 21 weeks.
Prayers go out to Peggy and the rest of us in need.
Sayonara,
Joe
Good morning.
Bo: Here in Towanda, mustard goes on mac & cheese. Sandwiches get dunked in the mayo or ranch. Ew.
Nothing to report other than that there are going to be a lot of snow squals during the day and rest of week.
Well, it is early and cold today (about 4 degrees) and still dark outside.
Spent a lot of time yesterday trying to make one good 200 series motor out of parts. I just can’t get any combination to run. I hook everything up and almost instantly it begins to smoke. It’s no big deal because I don’t have any real stake in making these run. It’s just baffling when everything seems to be in place (and I have hade success before with the same type of overhauls and fix-ups) and the darned thing won’t run.
I did have success fixing a late model Lionel switcher (the CNW) that had a roller melt off. I was able to successfully heat weld a custom crafted piece of plastic into the base frame after cutting, shaping and fitting. The roller remounted and the unit runs fine. Hopefully, this time, the locomotive won’t be left on the mall layout derailed and short circuited, It was pretty fortunate that I was able to make this repair and it seems to be holding. Plastic is tricky to work with (especially controlled melting of pieces together).
Well, by the time I finished this message it is obviously going to be a pretty sunny morn, very red in the east now.
Hello all,
TGIF!!! [tup] and I got on page one[:)]
Windy low 20’s here this AM. Just enough snohio to make driving interesting. Same yesterday. The snow cannon must be having some serious issues.
88 Thanks so much for reconsidering. I allways enjoy seeing Christina & look forward to the new addition. Have a safe trip
Prayers sent for those requested.
Brutus…bummer, hope it works out for ya

Prayers for those in need
Happy birthday RT![bday] [^] [G]
Good morning every one. Just cant believe its February allready.
Happy Birthday RT,
Jeff how do you know when someones birthday is? is that a moderator only perk? or am I just not looking hard enough around the site.
Thinking about diving in and suscribing to CTT to unlock the rest of the site. I usually get it free at my LHS if I buy a bunch of stuff, and its a good exscuse to go there every month.
I am goning to safely say we are about half way through winter here. February can be pretty rough here, and March goes either way. After April 1st were out the water
Looking like I’m gonna be short on fire wood this year, so back into the woods we will go. (I have 3 - 5 cord cut and split but not covered… [banghead] so thats next years pile
we usually burn about 8 cord a heating season.
and when theres no fire wood theres no heat at the house.
every one have a good day

Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR…
It is a cold 14 degrees. Going up to 30 today. We got about an inch of snow last night. More tomorrow.
Today is a very busy day. I have an errand to run and the usual chores to do. Wife is grocery shopping. We will be busy until lunchtime. Then, a nice nap will be appreciated.
Buckeye & LAZ … TGIF
Buckeye is in NC. Temperature is 41 degrees. Too warm to snow. He will go thru Roseyville in an armored car.
Dining car is here with Cheerios for breakfast.
Y’all have a great Friday.
Chuck
Happy Birthday, RT.[bday][bday][^]
RT is a member on two other forums I frequent and it’s his birthday on both of them. So logic dictates it must be his birthday here too. Logical conclusion logically arrived at.[swg]
Good morning. It’s 44° with 83% humidity. The high will be 58°.
Getting ready for my mothers memorial service this morning. Just taking a short time out to post this. I also have to get paying the bills out of the way today and get the first half of the groceries. I might be able to get some layout work in later. Well that’s all for now.
Hi GUYZ,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RT!!! Hope you got something with flanged wheels? ENJOY!!!
CHUCK & BUCKEYE, TGIF!!!
BUCKEYE,WATCH YOUR TOPKNOT down there in REB country.

First of the month = bills to pay. Check in later.
Mornin’ boys. Snohizo this AM in the Mid-Atlantic region. Last night of PM shift, and should be interesting after happy hour around here. Great Scale Train Show this weekend at the Cow Palace in Timonium. Not looking to buy, just looking for inspiration.

88 - Here’s to smooth sailin’…
Buckeye - Watch where you step. Grits everywhere down there.

…but, try not to wind up in a ditch [xx(]
Aloha. Minus-two so far, and a lot cold with the breeze. Nice TARDIS ride last night with the birthday boy, Brutus, SJ, Charlie and Kev. [^][bday] RT! Safe travels tomorrow, Brent. How ‘tall’ is your layout? Do the risers go up a few levels above the layout base?
Sorry for being AOL for most of the month, but we’ve been extremely busy. Will pop on this weekend to fill everyone in, but for now…
We had HUGE news yesterday. Tyler had a cat scan and a PET scan on Monday. We heard from the doctor that both scans came back clean of any sign of lymphoma. HUGE NEWS!!! Although we expected it, there’s always that little nagging doubt in the back of your mind. He’ll have to go back at the end of March for another set of scans, plus at that time they will do significant blood work to see where his immunity levels are. Based on that they’ll decide what vaccinations he will need to get again. And after that, probably mid-April or so, he’ll be able to go back to school. He’ll have scans every 3 months through the end of the year, then every 4 months through the end of 2014. But this set was probably the most important. What a relief!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RT [bday] [^] [G] [bday]
Good news for Tyler
It’s 18 degrees with sun. No 30s till sometime next week. We had a large group for chat last night, always good to hear from the guys. A big breakfast this morning means I will skip lunch. The plans for today, stay in, keep warm…S.J.
Good Morning, 29 and snow at the Jersey Shore:
DJ: Great news about Tyler!!!
[bday] [^][G][B][<:o)] span=“” id=“mce_marker” data-mce-type=“bookmark”> RT
Brent: Welcome back. Safe trip to Florida and my the adoption go smooth.
SubmmBob: A Daewoo. Parts must be hard to find. We had a Daewoo dealer that was open for about 6 months here.
Jeffrey: Enjoy the relatives at the BBQ.
Chief: Free Food and a Free Hockey Game. It does not get any better!
Kev: I like the layout. I would just build the town around it.
SPman, Ray, Speedy recover for your wife.
Brutus: Bummer about Char’s Job. We will miss you at York.
Blown Out: Get well soon.
Chuck: I hope that that was just a diversion to Buckeye’s location. The Chief has Barney out on patrol for him.
AF53, Ray, Prayers for Peggy.
Have a Great Day!
