Sausage on a bun please.
Nothing much here, just working on sifting coal to be made into hopper loads, working in my brothers Bachmann GP-??? that I’m rebuilding, and re-motoring my pancake steamer.
JEFF, I got about five nests of robins per building here, so I’ve got plenty to send.
Here’s a link back: XII
Hey nik! You beat me by about 4 seconds… I deleted my post for the new location. Looks good over here on the siding. Easy access too.
Zoe, I’ll have a root beer float as long as nik has the top! Oh and a piece of that SR Pie I see you made. Thanks!
Hello (voice echoes through empty diner) anyone here yet? Oh, well the coffee is on anyway. I’d have some SRP with the coffee but perhaps later. (With a RBF does that make it SRP and burp?)
Ray - if the truck has single piston sliding calipers you are correct to ask for new calipers as they get corroded in the piston area and will stick on when they darn well feel like it. Just another benefit to living in the snow belt. A full rebuild will also cure things but the RTR rebuilts are less expensive and less likely to develop issues. Even at a dealership it’s tough to find someone with the skill to rebuild stuff and you end up changing assemblies instead.[sigh]. Back to work &catch ya later, J.R.
I’m here, just laying down since I’m disorointed. (actually,. I have upset stomach again)
(puff,puff,pant pant) Whew! Dr. Pepper and a SRP please. Oh my no! Just a piece. Do I look like PC? You’re right been a while and almost forgot what he looks like. Ryan? Ryan who? Oh Ryan. Yeah where’s he been? I just ran down here to tell you I got my Pearl car today and the diner was GONE! Luckily I could still see it from where I was so I found it ok. They left a real pretty picture where there too. Awful nice yardmaster we have.
Anyway, the car looks almost new. They made real good on the sale. No complaints for me. I already had one anyway and the Brewery/distributorships not running at full capacity yet anyway so no biggy. He sure didn’t make any money on the deal. Two shipping costs are as much as I gave for the car and he made three, plus the loss of the other one he let me keep. Of course if he wanted it back that would have been four ships and farther in the hole.
Spotty thunder showers today and I’m installing lights.
Dove’s anyone? Real pretty sounding, unless you have to live around a MILLION OF THEM!!! Day in day out “coo coo” dawn til dusk “coo coo”…(grabs hair and shakes head as I stroll out the door forgetting to eat the SRP)
Afternoon all. Zoe, I’ll take a burger and a coke, thanks.
I like the new place. There seems to be more traffic along this part of the line.
School today was actually fun! In bio, we (FINALLY!) dissected(sp?) the starfish. I ended up doing most of the work, but I didn’t mind. Next week, we get to do the frogs.
Got word that Walthers received my order today. In the past, they’ve been pretty fast, so it should be here on Thursday or Friday (at that point, the GP9ms [2200-2202] will officially be added to the roster). Although there are three of these units on the roster, I’m representing the fleet by modeling one of them, 2201.
Jeff: Hope your father is on the track (no pun intended) to recovery.
I think that’s about it for now. See you guys later.
Afternoon/evenin’ guys!
A new place, sometimes I get dizzy trying to find it here…welcome to all
The prayer candle is lit for those with special thoughts and prayers needed.
To any comments I should have made/quoted {?} in the old diner I have forgotten.
Raining now. gonna rain the next 4 days they say. My plants will love it, Me, not so much. Course that also means I don’t have to run the A/Cs so I won’t have to give New York State Electric and Gas {NYSEG} more money. Like that.
Cleaned out more stuff off the enclosed porch yesterday and kicked it to the curb! Felt good to throw stuff out, about as good as demolishing something. {there’s just something about destruction we all seem to love!?}. It was Mostly “junk” and stuff that could be thrown out that I wondered why we were keeping. And stuff that, while on an “enclosed” porch, had been “exposed to weather”. Ain’t that the way? I did stop over to the “Curse of to much stuff” post. Made a quick comment about American Consumerism, which is why many of us have to much stuff, MR or other stuff, stuff, stuff!.
Just think once I clean off the porch, clean out the shed, and clean out the trailer, I will have more room for more stuff! Not really! Since we are looking for property to move this trailer to, or to buy a house or something, we will have to pack up everything and then move then unpack everything again. So we are looking to divest ourselves of some of the excess stuff/stuff we don’t use/stuff we forgot we had/duplicate stuff to make that move easier when it comes along.
I once experienced a house fire many years ago and lost everything. I decided then that I would KISS {Keep It Simple Stupid} And not collect so much stuff again. All that stuff came down to
Well, our U15 soccer season ended last tuesday, and tonight is the last U11 game.
End of school here in SC: 7 school days left, 9 including the weekend.
Hi Galaxy! Glad you found the way to the diner. There wasn’t much STUFF in the way was there? An old teacher friend of mine who used to teach Technology at the Middle School level years ago once put a question on a quiz asking the students to define the word Technology. One of his 8th. graders answered, “Things you use to make stuff”. The next day there was a new sign over his doorway. The class was thereafter called… “Stuffology!”
I too have collected a lot of stuff. Most has come from my parents home after my Dad died. Somehow my house became the repository of all the “heirlooms” (aka: junk) that were just too valuable to throw away (aka: the trash people don’t want it either) and nobody else in the family will take it off my hands (their smarter than me…). One of these days I will be sending a pile of stuff to auction just to be rid of it.
The rain has started here as well. Started right as I was getting into the car at the dealwers so they could drive me back home after leaving off my truck for surgery. Spent most of the day waiting for phone calls so the garden did not get the “Moo Doo” rototilled in. Oh well I I’ll add it to the stuff to do in a couple of days.
Hey Flo! Is it just me or is it getting stuffy in here? [:-^]
Hope you all have a good evening and get lots of stuff done on the layout! [:D]
I CAN SEE !!!
Me too! Can’t hear well though…[:-^]
New place again, huh? Ugh.
2 DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL!!!
Oh, I hope to NOT fall into that trap! There are a few things I want if my brother doesn’t fight me over, but I certainly hope NOT to be transfering all my father/mothers stuff to my house! I haven’t the room so it makes it easy!
And, TODD, I, too, can see! {I can see more of the porch since clearing it out}
Sheeesh—leave for a few hours and come back to a totally new diner. At this rate maybe we need to close the diner and flush it out every 50 pages or we’re going to end up in Barstow CA!![:-^]
**Todd-**And yes, I too, can SEE!!! now, the question is WHY?-------[swg]
Good wet evening–we just had some sprinkling happen–enough to make for a puddle or two.
We’re going through a lot of our SCHTUFF as well. Seems like I only did this a short while ago but it keeps coming back. Two inveterate packrats plus interests in the arts and antiques=overcrowded conditions. The place isn’t THAT bad BUT—it can be at times. I’m doing this again BEFORE we drown in SCHTUFF[:O]
Chloe, a large bucket of fries with cheese sauce and a RBF please----I’ll be at the corner booth looking at all the neat stuff going on in the yard—
Moved again? At least the diner got a good cleaning before the doors opened again… I’ll wait 'till the next pot of coffee is made 
Getting rid of things…I’ve had to bring ‘stuff’ from home, down here. A lot is car and truck model items from when I was a kid. I looked at it and thought to myself… ‘Self, are you ever going to do anything with this?’ Probably not… But, when it came to actually throwing it away, which I did, it was as if I was watching my childhood being thrown away. When I was a kid, building model cars and trucks was all I had. Asthma kept me from playing outside, or playing sports… having fun like everyone else… All the models were still white plastic, painting was a no-no. How much ‘stuff’ can you have? The asthma is better now since the drugs work a lot better these days, but seeing my past being tossed into a dumpster with all the cast-off, unwanted trash, from other people kinda hurt…
Monday brought an interesting day; 5:00am, dispatched fall victim-head injury. 5:05 first responders report CPR in progress, di-fib applied. Medics dispatched along with squad. Medics from hospital arrive 5:15, squad 5:20. (medics were closer & paid, on duty. We’re volunteer and sleeping) Medics intubate, CPR contuinues, atropine (sp) admin. directly through breathing tube, CPR continues Transport patient to hospital, 3/4 mile trip. Trauma crew waiting, CPR contuinues…5:40am patient sudenly maintains own respirations and pulse… Hippa regulations prohibit us from finding out if the patient survived… 9:00am brings a respritory call another F.F. Transport to hospital, no complications. Two for the day and it’s not even noon yet.
Then we had the parade… we followed up at the end, both rigs, handing out candy to the kids. At the ceremony, the Mayor thanks the Police fo
Chloe, that coffee ready yet? A piece of chocolate cake too. Thanks!
Lee - That item(s) will be in the mail by the weekend.

Here is my first attempt at a scrap sheet metal load for my gondolas. These are aluminum shavings glued to project board then inserted into the gondola.

Friend of mine gave me an old screen door and I’ve been drilling holes in it and saving the shavings. There are a few wood splinters in there too.
Lee
Eric, thanks a bunch!
hey, is that a Cleveland sunset???
Gone for a few hours, and a new DINER!!!
Well I did some switching on the layout. Now I have a few turnouts wanting to act up.
I guess we all will watch the Penguins vs. Hurricanes. That will be a good game.
**Lee…**The scrap looks good. Never thought of using a old door.
Everybody have a good night.
like I said, 7 left for me.
Robby, that’ll be a good game. wish it came on a local channel here (which it might). I’m pulling for the Penguins, sid the Kid is awesome
