Hello there,
been lazy last couple of days. Don’t fell bad but not the best either.
It was near 50 here Sunday. High today was 22 at 7AM. Now about 13. Hard to get adjusted.
Took me over an hour yesterday to get my phone switched. The biggest hastle was getting Verizon to release my number from a business account. I’m now on a Straight Talk pay as you go plan. $30. a month. Unlimited data, text & talk. Using my old Galaxy S4 for now. Works good but I need a new battery as it don’t last long.
Good luck to all those having colonoscopys. I’ve had several. You will definitly have the runs on prep day,(the worst part) A piece of advice given to me prior to my 1st one. Eat lightly the day before. It’ll make the prep a lot easier. Found out the hard way it’s true.
Phish…didja get a snowplow???
Fife…the Altoona Train Show is March 11. Maybe we can get together.
Had plans to watch the State of the Union but don’t think I’m gonna make it.
Good evening all,
Might as well call the March issue the Coffeepot edition with two of us making the issue. Good pic, Buckeye. Semi busy day at work. Daughter is doing better and wife is getting some rest at night as well while taking care of daughter. Weather was sunny today. Before I forget, check out an article from a few days ago on the Trains Newswire page. Look for a picture of an UP engine as it is about a boys’ love of trains. Here is the link: http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2018/01/26-up-gives-young-railfan-who-died-of-cancer-touching-farewell I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Good evening,
The neck is about 90% better; I did not take any pain medicine today. I left work early to return my rental car and shop for a used vehicle. After about four stops I finally found one. I am pleased with it and I am confident it will run well for some time. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner and are watching the State of the Union address now, and then I am off to bed.
Buckeye - Congratulations again! If you look back a few pages on this thread, you will read where I already congratulated you on the photo. As a digital subscriber, I receive my CTT about a week or so before the print edition.
Good night,
Joe
Thank you to everyone for your kind comments about the photo. (Joe, I saw your comment, but didn’t understand it since I had not received the March issue.) The video taken that day was is one of the best in my collection. The youngest is yelling “pig” when he sees the pigs on the side of the SP trailiers. [:D] Notice in the photo the switch tower is on fire while in the video the tower is dark.
The Williams NJ Central locomotive is the older grandson’s. Chuck helped me pick out this engine saying they were really reliable and would be great for the grandson. It is running in conventional mode and the grandson is operating it with a CAB-1.
Morning. Only 35 degrees this late. May hit the 40’s. Tomorrow, 60’s. Crazy. Sunny so that helps.
Miss the old Chuck. Was thinking about him the other day while in the Train Box.
Love running trains for the kids.
Twins running trains a year ago. You would be surprised at the little girls that want to see the trains run.
Stay warm.
Mornin’ all!
Cold this morning, registered 10° on the thermometer in back around 9AM.
Anyone see the moon this morning? We have a Super Blue Moon, which apparently was also a Super Blue Blood Moon overnight, but supposedly the blood part was best visible from the Left Coast side of the country. I snuck out around 6:25 and got a peek at it on the horizon, pretty neat to see it that large.
Lunar trifecta: Rare ‘super blue blood moon’ will light the sky next week
Have a good one!
Hi All!
A quick pop in on my lunch break.
Buckeye - Great picture! “Pig Train”, that’s awesome. [:D]
Chief - Another good picture. Seeing the “youngin’s” enjoying the trains gives me hope for the future of our hobby and get that Vette!!! I always wanted one too, but my Camaro is a decent runner-up, I suppose.
Banks - That’s a decent deal, especially with unlimited data. I still have my S5 and other than the battery not lasting as long too, it’s still does the job.
Don - Your suggestion taking the Mrs. for dinner is not a bad idea. I’ll test the water first…
Have a good one and prayers.
Rob
Aloha. Supposed to be warmer today but its in the teens with the wind howling out of the west. Fife, I still pick up the uke - thanks for the reference! Congrats to Buckeye and MikeC for making the latest issue of CTT!
Seems winter has returned. [:(]
Even thou I don’t get the CTT mag anymore I still want to congradulate Mike C and Buckeye for getting into it.
Evening all!
It hit 73 today, but a “cold” front tonight so only 62 tomorrow! 55 Friday.
Got my CTT today. Nice issue and now I understand “page 9” - congrats to Mike C (nice article! Learned something new, that is a nice little set) and Buckeye!
Continued work in the garage today as the temps were very pleasant! Making progress. Got another load of boxes for shredding Saturday and recycle set out Monday.
Good evening all,
Very quiet day at work today. Weather was warm but breezy for walk. Got to play indoor soccer with high school kids tonight. I did well for me. Several good touches. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good evening,
It was quite brisk and windy today. It was around 26 when I left for work and I think the high reached 38. It could snow this weekend and I sure hope it does. I would love to finalize my track plan and start building this weekend. It is time for bed now.
Chief/Buckeye - Great photo and video.
Good night,
Joe
Another month is almost gone. I am still having dental work done. Should be done by next week. Went to Dixieland Jazz Club Sunday and enjoyed that. My oldest son and I have made reservations to fly back to Norfolk, Virginia to see my brother in Suffolk and then drive down to Jacksonville, N.C. to see my sister. Both of them have stage 4 cancer. I need someone to go with me to help me get through all the airports and stuff so now I’m in good hands. Had to send my portable oxygen concentrator out for repairs. I need it when I fly and sleep. I have a bigger one in the house. We won’t be leaving until April 8th so I hope the weather will be better by then. Looking forward to getting some Eastern Carolina Bar-B-Que and seafood while we are back there. Had lunch at a place today and ordered pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw and fries. The slaw was too dry and the pork was in big chunks. Hard to eat. Talk to you all next month.
