Mike, hope you are feeling better soon my friend!
Kurt - too funny! You are evil, sir!
Sir James, I am on the way - no train stuff per se today, but did talk with SJ and Doug on messenger, which is always a lot of fun! Tardis is ready and I think we need to take some of the Pink Stuff to Mike. Sounds like he doesn’t want any icecream though!
Brown box on the front porch today. It contained the Missile Launch locomotive I ordered last week. That is one of the few pieces that my wife has expressed interest in at the last couple of train shows she has gone to with me.
Just for grins, I told her that it was her mother’s day present. That did not go over very well. She didn’t see the humor.
Anyhow, it is the new version with TMCC. Set it on the track, programmed a new engine I.D. number into the Legacy hand held and was operating in no time.
Wonder if the bat will show up again. I could take pot shots if he makes a low enough pass over the layout.
The sun was actually out for more than a few minutes at a time today. Temperature around 70. Quite plesant. Seeing the sun might help cheer people up. Everybody seems to be in a bit of a funk lately.
Later, all.
Morning all. Cloudy. Had some rain. Now to get ready to go to the lake house. 8nTruck might not be with us today. He tells wifey that train box was her Mother’s Day and then he goes to sleep. [:O] Mike C, hope you are feeling better. Get well. Time for girts and coffee. Later
Good morning all,
It is foggy in SE Indiana with temps near 70. Feeling better. Lucas is home from school for summer. At work. No Tardis tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good morning
Overcast and going to 70s. Maybe some showers today.
No plans except a few things I want to do on the layout.
S.J.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill…
It is a sunny 54 degrees. Rained last night. Going up to 73 today with a chance of rain later. We need more sunshine.
Today is busy. I have a couple of errands to run and the usual chores around the house. Maybe some train time later.
Dining car was here and we had the usual for breakfast. Cheerios.
Y’all have a great Thursday.
Chuck
Morning all. Was a long evening as when I got home, I had but 20 minutes to get changed and head to violin lesson. Played a little Mozart…not well, but did play. I can play a note that sounds great…it is just a matter of putting notes together to make a song. That is where I run into trouble.
Waiting to start my case. The first one for the other team will take some time and I am helping out as needed. Probably will get going in the next few minutes though. New guy is coming along, but it is tough sometimes because we tend to judge a person through our own years of experience. A guy with 2 years just doesn’t have what a guy with 20 years of experience has.
Just hoping to get some tractor work done this week prior to the weekend as daughter has her recital and I have some train layout to get to.
Take care and God Bless,
Dennis
Morning all!
After I waxed the car, and all…still no rain…strange.
Bride hijacked the office again last night…so no computer for me…she barely was able to eat dinner as the crackberry rang. I’ll catch up to the chats again soon. I hope.
Ribs on the menu for tomorrow. Apple wood chips are ready. Rub prepped…Will massage the ribs tonight, and get the beans ready for the smoker.
Kurt
Morning all. Rained overnight.Everything turning green. Nice and sunny. Prepping the daughter and bride for their trip to Ohio tomorrow. Adding to my list of things to get done in their absence with the boys. Nice chatting with Sir J and Brutus last eve.
Dennis–hang in there with the practicing, everyday, it will happen. Remember how to get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice practice.
Kurt--we did the ribs & beans two weeks ago, fabulous----now I’m getting hungry and it’s only 9:10 AM !
Rain … damp … chilly … let’s my old buddy Arthur Ritis take over … my son said I walk around like the hunchback of Notre Dame sometimes when I get up out of the chair … [xx(] … where’s that beautiful … warm SUN ?
Kpolak … PM’ed you with the site of my membership …
Ole Timer, we have beautiful warm sun here today. If I had a way to ship you some…[sigh]
Anyone have experience putting together O scale kits by Bar Mills? Frank53 posts on this and “the other” forum and thinks highly of their kits. He has postings of How To put some of them together. I want to try one, but wanted to ask the Coffee Pot your thoughts.
I started a thread on why I am not getting notified with email post notices. The only response was others noticing the same thing. Has that service been discontinued?[%-)]
Edit: My email options are all set to “Yes” and the email Subscription is set to “Enabled”.

Patrick, I read your thread but I don’t want all those e-mails so I actually have no idea how to get them. One of these forums sent me mail when I first signed on and I was glad to get rid of them.
You are right, there are a lot of emails, especially on the Coffee Pot thread. The reason I like them is I usually respond to several threads and it is easier to read the emails than to call up each thread to see if I need to answer.
Patrick
Evenin’ boys. Evenin’ English. Sun is peeking out (first time in a week) and 71 here in the Mid-Atlantic region.
[oX)] <— getting closer…
Ole Timer: Received your PM! Been there! Great site! Thanks.
Kurt
Phish — Were there boxes on your doorstep? How did you like how I repainted the car from California and Iowa?
Buckeye … finally took the time to look over every area of your site . Great tunnel portals on your layout … and that dining car on the napa valley trip you took sure is beyond beautiful . If one wanted to duplicate that … sure would be fabulous … but alot of mini woodworking … but worth it . [tup]
Thanks Ole Timer. The tunnel portals are the stuff you buy from Scenic Express with some weathering added. I’ve got four more K-Line portals ready to add.
The dinning car was very nice with great woodworking. It was riding in the cab of the Napa Valley Wine Train that was unbelievable.
BTW, did you check out the new video section? I have a flat screen and have been wondering what the videos look like on other people’s screens.
Buckeye the vidios looked great. Kinda laugh thou the one witht he hotbox car it kinda sounded like a cat meowing when it went by at first. the pic on the bottom of the steamer in snow is that a g auge out on your front porch or is it On30 ?
