A few days ago I asked why no email notice on thread posts, and then started a thread on this subject. I got several reply’s on both, but I didn’t do a good job explaining. Here is my answer from the other thread:
I am probably in the minority on this one. I like the email notices because:
1) I answer several threads and it is quicker to read the emails to see if I need to answer any of them. After I answer I delete the email.
2) It is difficult to go to each thread and try to find where my last reading left off, especially the Coffee Pot and SPF threads.
“Disabled” is the default setting. You receive emails only if you change this setting found at the top of each thread page.
RT- I wander if the past problem you mention was a one time glitch?
Pat … no I’ve never had one of those particular kits . But have assisted my bro-in-law on some others . They’re all basically the same idea . They take awhile but the results are great … extremely detailed and realistic compared to snap or glue together units … but alot more time consuming .
Picked up another skeleton log car by k-line cheap … for a change … jordan spreader and hobo jungle arrived by cute mail-lady yesterday … dullcote went to crap … I left the lid loose by mistake … [banghead] … had to order more … just what i need … am behind weathering now … [:o)]
I haven’t had time to post or read posts since I left for York.
Had a great time at York and it was great seeing all the CTT forumites! Spent a lot of time with John F crawling around the fairgrounds. Talking with the CTT guys was fun as always.
Hope everyone is doing well. Work continues to be a bear to wrestle with and long days make it hard to stare at another computer screen after work and late at night.
Spank, we are practically neighbors. We are about 40 miles north of Charlotesville in Culpper.
I found your viaduct threads, current and previous. Very informative (and entertaining). Found fife’s as well. Sort of a before and after set of threads. Looking forward to seeing your updates.
Pat, I actually work right down the road from you in Ruckersville! I can see living down here that I will need to buy a pickup truck at some point - right now I can’t get the sheet of masonite I need to skin my viaduct platforms without doing some fancy finagling in one of my cars. Hopefully I can do that tomorrow, providing the weather holds out.
Morning all, it has been hot here all week. Wild fires up in Santa Barbara North of us. Had to change my morning walk of two miles around the neighborhood to going round and round in the park where it is shady. Went shopping yesterday for some summer duds. Guy asked me “how come you are buying clothes for yourself on mothers day week”? I told him I buy clothes every ten years wheather I need them or not. We went out to eat last night at the local eye talian restaurant with our church group. I had chicken marsalla. Baked chicken breast with roasted potatoes in a wine sauce. It was really good but a lot more black pepper than I can tolerate. I’ll pay the price for that. Chief is rubbing salt in the wound by telling me all about that good seafood he gets back there like flounder and shrimp. We get halibut here which is a flat fish too but it cost an arm and a leg. Someone mentioned cole slaw. I made some last week but the cabbage must have been too old. On second day the stuff was so hot I had to through it out. Good cole slaw always makes me long for Eastern North Carolina Bar-B-Que or fish. Had a get together Wednesday night with my train buddies at friend’s layout. Put my Lionel SP Atlantic through it’s paces on his layout running in TMCC which I can’t do at home because all I have is DCS. Also fixed broken hand rails around smoke box front with crazy glue. My friend is a Burlington fan and has all those neat 3rd rail Burlington Hudsons (three versions) and the latest 2-10-4 which is a big engine. My buddy also has a scale two rail O gauge trolley layout running around his regular three rail layout. Beautiful hand built trolleys with interiors and figures, overhead lighting etc. It was nice to let someone else play host to our weekly get together for a change. We probably won’t do much now until after the month of May due to other obligations we all have
Hope all our Calif. brethren are OK. Gorgeous day here. I got a tremendous amount done with my young helper who introduced me to a new way to mix concrete - with water balloons… Bride got to Tiffin Ohio.ok too. Off to soccer practice. Where’s Jack?

To bad you aren’t a little closer. You could borrow my truck. You still can, but it may not be worth it for one sheet of Masonite. but you are welcome to it, now or later. It has a shell on it so rain is not a problem. Ruckersville! I can almost through a stone and hit Ruckersville!
You never know about the weather forecast. Tomorrow may work for you. They forecast showers today, but none came and I cut grass for 3 1/2 Hrs. Forecasting showers tomorrow, but who knows…
I am getting email notices again, I think. Received 30+ emails on notices not received since they were discontinued. BUT no email notices on today’s posts. We will see if this post is emailed to me. I need to thank someone - Bob K?
Spank - one of the delayed emails was yours asking where in VA I live. I didn’t catch that before, but now you know.
Remember, anyone who doesn’t want to receive email notices of posts need to do nothing. email Subscription Disabled is the default setting.
RT - Thanks for the tip about Grzyboski’s. Got the Jimmy Johnson 2006 box car for $16.95! Also got the I Love Virginia car (not quite as valuable as the one from Ohio, yet[:-^]) and some little people.
Good lord … depressing to keep clicking on ebay auctions with " from the estate of my … " all those dead fellow’s collections being sold . Think I’ll get 3 grave lots … the one in the middle for my trains … wife on the other end … [:-^] … she does’nt need a new sedan for all her friends in those darth vader sunglasses and 15 years of hair stylists appointments running over or running folks off the road in Florida … man they’re dangerous .
A warm 70s today but one is all we are going to get. Back to 60s tomorrow.
Well I made it in and out of the train store without buying anything. I did get the new MTH set catalog. They changed the size to more like a “back pocket” book. Lots of pages though but I did not notice anything new. I think they added some new road names but that is just about all.
I had butter pecan but banilla is waiting for the Tardis crew.
Doug, we are safe from fires at the present time. Fire I referred to in Santa Barbara is about 100 miles North of here up the coast. We are suppose to get some cooler weather next week.
Tardis is ready - it’s Ole Timer’s turn to drive [:)] Had a nice chat tonight and also with SJ of course. Then, talked with Charlie for a few minutes, now going to jump in the good old T-Machine and come get you guys, lol! Laz might be up still? Got some Old Mills calling our name, bro! Ray, you are always on a the regular route of course [:)] Charlie, I think we can just see your signal from here, lol! Doug - interesting mixing method! Hope the Sonic burgers were good (always are!) and you got some of their onion rings, I love those [tup] Lots of neat stuff going on, just too much to comment on it all. Glad you made it back, Banks!
8ntruck, I tried to reply three times on that PM and I’m not sure it worked. Shoot me a regular email if you got my reply, okay?
Gotta hit the hay, but you guys have a great day tomorrow! Working 6 hours so have to be up in 6 hours - yikes!
Thunderstorms this morning, then cleared off by lunchtime. Wonderful afternoon. The only trouble I managed to get into at work today can wait until after vacation[swg] - assuming work is still there when I get back. The automtive industry is going through some really strange times right now.
Took some time to sit out on my deck last night, enjoy a fire in the fire pot and watched a thunder storm pass to the north of town. Spectacular lightening show!
Brutus - two of your replys got through. I replied to your reply through the forum. I’ll cover it with an E-mail, just in case.
CNW1995 - I’ve mixed concrete in a wheelbarrow, in an electric mixer, had it delivered from a truck, and did the concrete mixing dance in El Savlador. Water balloons is a new one! Also, thanks for the weather report. Normally one day of track time gets rained out at this event, but that leads to bench racing in the hotel lobbies - fun either way.
Looks like a weekend full of yard work. The trick will be figuring out how to watch the F1 race on Mothers’s Day.
62 here and another nice day on tap. Ran trains last nite for an hour NO PILE UPs. The OL MILs or just end o week caught up to me and fell asleep at 930 last nite feel great.
Check out the latest BTB, he gave us a TA DA at the end with DA GROUP PIC, by BRENT. TANKS BOB!!!
Ol TIMER, now you know why wine is so expensive.[:O]
