Wow…page 1!
Just got up…again. Spent yesterday in Princeton Medical…severe vertigo. Got cut loose at 10 PM, slept until 630, went with Mom to church. Father Inverso Blessed me fo my issue. Been asleep since 930. Took meds, MRI to be scheduled, no clues. Heck of a way to spend Easter,
Planning on a trip to Paterson for the NJ Hi-railers on the 13th…Fife take note: Anyone bringing a 4-4-0, they will be run on the main line in honor of the Great Train Raid and the manufacture of the General in Paterson, NJ (Yep a Yankee engine serving in the Reb Army). Many other delights to be had there including 2 museum tours of the history and making of these locomotives.
OK, that’s all I can handle right now, off to bed yet again!
Also made page 1!
We had good rain the last two days. Storms this morning passed in time for us to go to Easter services and sun came out later. 80’s today. 50 by mid week.
[angel] for you rich.
Evening all. been sorting more items out. Got all my O gauge track in one box. All my super O track in another box and all my gar-graves spread all over the train table lol[(-D]. since my last haul I’m rearranging some of the trains and packing some up. ( temporary running out of room till I get my office painted and put shelves up in here also. ) Doing to much when off as wife wants to go here and there lol.
Well about time to call it a night. Have had to rough days in a row at work because of call offs. [banghead]
Good Evening:
Just a quick stop by to grab a cup from the fresh Pot.
Rich: Get well soon. Enjoy the trip to Patterson. A friend from work is involved with the HO club there.
RT: I take that you are keeping the 685 Hudson on display! [:-^]
Chief: Thanks for starting the new Pot.
John
Ha I knew he couldn’t stay awake till midnight.
Careful tomorrow. It’s April Fools Day
S.J.
Is this turn the clock forward one day day? [(-D]
Hope all had a great Easter! Went over to my folks for a few hours and had some good food, then picked up Char and the kids at AMTRAK in Kirkwood at 9PM. They were about 2 minutes late - scandalous! TARDIS is ready and we have cookies, brownies, and banilla [:)]
April 1st… I’m watching my back. [:-^]
Hope all had a Great Easter !
Good food and extended family made for a wonderful day, although the week did catch-up with me before all our guests left. I crashed about four o’clock and woke up sometime after the last of the guests had left. [:$]
Rich, Good luck with the Vertigo.
Rock, Hope you find your missing autos. [:)]
Saturday went well with only a couple of minor mishaps which were more control related issues as opposed to operator errors. Unfortunately we did have one incident of someone hitting the emergency button on the DCS which requires a shutdown/reboot of the layout. Who did it ? [X-)]
Nite All.
Good Morning…
Back to winter here…high…30F…sigh…oh…and little tiny snow flurries…yay…boooohiss…
Off to get some church stuff done here as well…monthly budget meeting for work as well…yeeesh…
Have a good day!!!
Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR…
It is a beautiful 80 degrees. Sun is shining. Going up to 90 today with sunshine all day.( April Fool’s).
Well, anyway, the sun is really shining but it’s only 42 degrees.
Today is a busy day. I have an errand to run and some paperwork to do. Then, a big project to work on that will take a few days to finish. Lunch and a nice nap, this afternoon.
Dining car has rolled in with Cheerios for breakfast.
Y’all have a great Monday.
Chuck
Good Monday Morning All!
46 right now and going to the low 60’s.
Off today as we are going to da Bronx for opening day against RIJack’s saux!
I trust everyone had a pleasant Easter Sunday. Everyone came over for breakfast and stayed the whole day through dinner. I’ll have to catch up on the pot later tonight.
Like Memorial Day brings the unofficial start to summer it seems the Easter brings in spring. Temps start to get warmer and the sun feels better.
Have a great day.
Hello all
Another night collecting photons.
Hope everyone had a good Easter. Mine was fairly quiet. We discovered no hidden colored eggs in outer space. And alas, the sport of peep jousting was revealed to me after I went to the store[:P]
Ran both of my attempts at recreating my first train set in O-gauge. Will post some pics later. The 0-8-0 definitely gets another thumbs up[tup] The train w/ the Williams NW2 I dug out of storage looks good too. I just don’t get too excited about diesels, though it is a nice engine. I do like the UP bay window caboose. It’s my first w/ internal lighting and has these nifty light pipes to illuminate the rear marker lights.
Will have to chase one of those down in SF colors some day[;)]
Hello all,
Rainy in the 40’s here
Hope everyone’s Easter was as good as mine.
Wow, made it on page 1
Back later
Prayers for those in need
Good morning,
Bright sun and bills to pay.
Rich, [angel]
Have a good day, no fooling. [:)]
Morning. Partly cloudy and real warm. Busy today. Hope all have a good week. Later
Good Mornin’ Y’all From Overcast Cape Ann Taxachusetts,
Low 40s now but going up over 60 today with rain moving in around noon. That should eradicate the remainder of my snow mounds. April 1, 1997 we East coast boys got hit with the April Fools Day storm which dumped 24 inches of the white stuff on me…prompted the purchase of my first snowblower!!! That season I got 120" and was armed with only a shovel !!! Isn’t it amazing how stupid we were when we were younger, always lacking the right power(ed) tools for the job until the light bulb goes off?
There is nothing better than Easter at someone else’s place. The daughter and son-in-law put on quite the spread, starting with all manner of hors d’euvres, crown pork, and four desserts. BURP! Maximus went with us and had a good time working the crowd until we had him take an extended snooze in his crate; but he did get some choice morsels in his dinner and some walks during the festivities. The day also included folks dropping by to say hello…kind of open house-ish. The kiddies ate way too much candy. All bases covered.
**Buckeye…**those were not lame jokes about Southerners that the Chief posted last week. They were true life accounts of everyday life South of the MD line. [(-D]
**Chief…**I have Maximus on duty on all flanks. So Fred’s wife and nephew can and will be captured and held hostage until ransom has been paid. Prepaid train purchases from Charles Ro in Malden MA., about 15 miles from me. Must start making my list. [(-D]
**Rich…**sorry to hear about your detour to the hospital with unexplained severe vertigo. I had that once, no fun, whirly twirlies without the benefit of an exce
Hi GUYZ,
42 here like CHUCK, but we have a foot o SNO HI OOOOOOO APRIL FOOLS!!! Happy Easter to all hope you had a Happy and Holy one. Went up to IN LAWS and MOMs for lunch and then supper. Nice came back for watching The BIBLE on History then FINDING BIGFOOT, but they still didn’t find him. Gotta wait till next year.
On Friday we all got bad news of the NAVY SEAL that died in the mishap out in Arizona. That SEAL was named BRENT SHADLE. I had taught him woodworking in MS and HS. That’s all he wanted to do with his life was to be a SEAL and take after his brother. He was 31 yrs. old and E7 SEAL, great kid, played basketball and soccer in HS. He was part of the famed SEAL TEAM 6 that took out bin lauden. He leaves behind a wife and two children. Prayers for you BRENT SHADLE you did the best job you could and now protect us from above. Big Salute to you SIR. Thank you.
RICH, vertigo I had it about a month ago, came and went. I had it once before, Inner Ear infection. No fun, I don’t even get like that with 12 Old Mils.
Stay frosty my friends,

Hi GUYZ again,
Just got caught up on the final days of the pot of March. Forgot to say on the first day o TROUT Season, I caught a mix of 10 brookies and browns. Biggest about 13 inches. Throew them all back. BRO caught and released 4 brookies. He was using meal worms, I was using dry flies. I should of had about 10 more but was missing the strike on the fly because of all the hatch that was coming off the creek. They were feeding on stoneflies that were on the rise. We fished from 4-7 and had a blast. Water temp was about 40 so feet were numb. Maybe go later again this week Thursday or Friday? Oh yea Outdoor Beer drinking season also came in and had 2 Old Mils at the creek. I didn’t release them kept them in my belly.

She is working on a dairy farm at age 77, so I would say she still has plenty of good years left in her. I would, however, be worried when she starts to NOT work as hard as she is now.
Good morning.
Not much going on except for doing some errands today. May get some more work done on the Me Bf 109G-10, and may get the P-38 ready for a second coat of paint.
