Good Morning All,
Nothing going on, but Sunday might get up to 55F and I might put out the Christmas Lights
Apparently I overdid it yesterday with the household chores I did.
My back and legs are screaming insults as Jeffrey would say.
Also the weather is turning so that could be the reason I hurt so much.
Did a few little chores today adn that was enouhg to do me in. SO now I am hobling around.
Oh well, the pain meds aren;t really working either so I think it is hte weather helping me feel so hurtful.
Well, you All have a good day anyway!!

Coffee refill, please.
***Galaxy, do take it easy.
***Jim, I thought iStuff was supposed to be invincible! Hope you can get that sorted out and back up to speed.
Ran some errands, including pricing a wood stove, installed. Only thing I would need to do is build the platform it sits on. The guy explained what to use, etc. and it seems something I can still do, providing I have everything needed in the dungeon (workshop). Otherwise, large pieces of anything really won’t fit into a Camry. This will near the top of my To Do list.
Very tired today. Rob

Think I’ll just check him out …thanks!!
Good Afternoon
We got some sun, some cloud and a bit of the snowfluffies today…and we did not even get to 38F…it sat at 35F all afternoon.
Anyways…Ray…I actually had a brainstorm, I know, me? a brainstorm?..I am thinking of taking some old code 83 track here and seeing about whether I can sort of jury rig up something close ot that jig I was thinking about
JimRC: You might want to check with your ISP as well…it sounds more like a ISP issue there as well.
Chloe, I’ll have a RBF and a couple of scoops of butterscotch ripple ice cream please…
I’m Back!
Hello Fellow Dinners!
Flo, Beer Please!
Boy I was missing home, and the dinner. While it was great to see Steve again I was ready to get the heck out of KC!
Was the trip worth while you ask? Yes and no. I did learn some new things on the computer but it was the same old stuff. Steve was kept busy doing his job and had very little time to spend with me.
Looks like I will not be getting a store in the near future and i am find with that. I am way behind on today cars so I need to learn more. You cannot led if you have to follow. Case is point. While I was at Steve shop I had a customer with a 2004 Ford F-350 4X4. It needed a Tie Rod End, to me a tie rod end is about 6 to 8 inches. Went to the NAPA site and there it was. But below the picture of the part I ordered there was a bar that looked 4 foot long. Hum, that could not be a tie rod end so I ordered the other one. Well you guessed it [banghead] this Ford F 350 could either have the normal Tie Rod or the 4 foot long tie rod. Our cost on the 4 footer was more than the cost of the normal tie rod end. I did get some added markup on the correct part so we did OK.
Well, I will talk at you all later, I have some NCIS to catch up on.
Ken
Welcome to my home town area and LHS; at least we got some snow yesterday!!!
Grilled chicken dinner with a fruit smoothie for desert, please.
Spoke to my neighbor (with the trackhoe) and we’ll get together late next week to look at some projects I need help with around the farm, like the pond pipe, leaning trees, etc… While he has his backhoe up here, that would be a good time to burn off the giant mounds of tree stumps from his last visit over a year ago. Would be good to get those burned up.
Not much else to report on. A bit quiet in here this evening.
Rob
Galaxy, you’re the one telling me this a lot of times and now I’m telling you. Stop pushing.
It is a good thing to take breaks every so often…that way the bod is not kung fu fighting with you at every step pf the way…
Evening All,
Got the Christmas tree up today and we will decorate it this weekend. I got the “water” down, the fishermen up and ground cover around the water and on the rock field. This weekend I want to redo the couplers on my passenger cars (10) to long shank. Should be some real fun.
Galaxy/Jeff/Rob- Take care of yourselves.
Everyone take care.
Salt & vinigar chips, please. Seem to be hungry tonight.
***Curt, GREAT pics there![Y]
Rob
Well, three naps and dinner later, I feel just “ok”.
Supposed to warm up this weekend, maybe that will fix that.
About time to call it a night, though, maybe sleep good tonight, I did NOT last nihgt.
G’nite

Blownoutcylinder I had a 67 Fairlane with a 390 like your picture except it was a Ranchero back when they were new. later I traded it in for a new 72 Datsun pickup and I never liked the gutless thing. Finally wrecked it and ws almost glad.
It was Windy here but not as bad as some areas in Southern California. Forcast is 65 next 3 days.
I went to a new dentist to get the clasps tightened on my partial and now am spending a fortune on dental work. I guess I need it and diden’t know but makes me wonder. I have them explain why each thing needs to be done.
It’s time for me to call it a night. See y’all tomorrow.
Hello everyone! I made it through the week gonna go downstairs and watch the DVD that MRR sent me then I am gonna get to bed. I want to get up early and work on my layout before my club meeting across town at 3pm, I will see you all tomorrow!
Thayne,
Evenin’ folks!
Janie, just a decaf for me please!
Got about half of what i should have gotten done today done… Picked up my sister’s lawn mower and took to the Mennonite place that repairs them (Very well and very reasonable, I might add). Resized about 40 photos from members of the NMRA Division we will be putting up at our new website, and did a few other odds and ends.
I have yet to bring up the electric candles I put in the windows for the Advent and Christmas Season. Might get to THAT tomorrow (or Sunday afternoon…). I haven’t put up a tree in at least 15 years (maybe 20). Right after my wife died 25 years ago it was a very difficult time and putting up the tree just seemed to make everything worse for me. The kids were grown and i decided why put myself through putting up a tree just for me. I have given most of the beautiful hand made ornaments my wife made to my sons and their families.
I have to be at the a scout rechartering extravaganza tomorrow by 9AM… have to be there to wait in line, sign my signature twice, listen to all the wonderful things that are going on in the district, and then go back home… May get a doughnut out of it though…
Got a couple photos of the stationary steam boiler I have been putting together this week:
Best call it a day and head out to catch some [zzz] It will be an early morning.
Later!

Good Evening,
Say it seems I’m all alone here, everyone has gone home to bed. Thanks Chloe for keeping the place open this late.
Not much new here in sunny Winterpeg. In fact it doesn’t really feel much like winter here yet as the temps have been just below freezing most of the week.
I have all the mainline track of my N scale layout down and now I’m working on deciding how the sidings will go. The turnouts are in but I have to decide if I’ll put in a few sidings from them. I didn’t solder the rail joiners on the flex track. I tried but the rail is so small and the rail joiners too so the solder didn’t flow well into the tiny spaces so I just put in more feeders. I hooked up the command station to each set of feeders to see how far down the track the current was good. I guess I put in enough feeders as it was constant all around. In fact I put in 9 and this is just a door layout with a twice around over/under. Before I finalize the sidings I have to finalize the industries on them. I’ll have at least 3 besides the freight terminal.
I did order myself one of those new Bachmann FA2s with sound as they come in CN green and yellow. At first I told myself that it was a Christmas present to myself but truthfully I would have ordered it anyway.
Well getting very late and Chloe has started to turn off the lights, so I’ll say goodnight.

Good Morning Gang!
Saturday! Hopefully a day for rest - I am exhausted. The week has not only been busy, but quite nerve wrecking. My boss and designated partner has invited a friend to join in and she is a very troublesome person, to say the best. Within short time, she has managed to bring anybody up against her, including the banks and the customers. A month´s job is blown up in the sky. I have a hard time to stay calm and considerate, but as of today, I see this not coming to a good end. I will have my partner and his wife over for dinner on Sunday, just to talk about things in a relaxed atmosphere.
Seems a if I won´t be having a job by next year.
Not a good start into the holiday season.
Saying I don´t feel well is a gross understatement.
Have a good weekend!
Edit: Curt - I like your pictures of your layout!
CNCharlie - I prefer not to solder rail joints, but to add a sufficient amount of feeders instead. NS rail does shrink and extend with changing temperatures and it is better to have some gaps.
Ray - [tup] for the boiler!
Galaxy & Jeff - take care, buddies! You are in my thoughts.
Ken - i hope your job situation improves soon. Keep pulling for you!
Prayers for those who fell victim of the storms in southern California.
GOOD MORNING!!
Today is Saturday, December 3rd, 2011!!!
Only 22 more shopping days til Christmas!!!
