Morning all. New pot.
Deer hunting and hot weather is not good. Finally heat came on this AM. Maybe fall will get here.
Watched some trains videos DVR’s from Trains and Locomotives from RFDTV. Then some hunting shows DVR’d.
Errands and Mayor’s stuff today.
Have a great month of November.
PS: read back over the Oct. Pot. Glad to see Fifey is settling in. Enjoy the lazy life. Don’t run for Mayor.

I haven’t posted in awhile, somehow I got not loggged in so I had to build up enough courage to attempt to log in.
I made a similar post on MR’s Diner then made a long edit and it woulden’t accept my edit not pleased.
Edit: now I see its locked after I posted but no new Diner. Strange
Good Afternoon from beautiful 70°F Southern Ohio,
November Pot! Wow, time is flying! I left off in the October Pot with a notion of using the AF accessories and action cars for an operating display at the train show Thanksgiving Weekend. I’ll talk to the event coordinator and see if there is room for me to set up. It has been years since I’ve set up a train display at the show because of my work schedule had me working for several years.
I’m going to put together a list and ask for you all’s input to which I should take. Whatever I take there will be flamingos somewhere.
May God bless
Jim
Morning all. Waiting for mail lady to deliever a 90’s boxcar U.S.Army that shoots a roctet out of it like the 3665 does.
Not much else going on around here today. Hope all have a good one
Seems I posted to the October Pot… someone forgot to lock it?
Cut-N-Paste

Fife - I’ve got all sorts of drills! 2 1/2" drills (Black and Decker and Dewalt), also have a Milwakee (?) right angle drill… thing is massive. Haven’t powered it up in a few years, but if you’re interested I could pull it off the shelf and verify.
Still recovering from a mild cold. Nothing serious just a nasty productive cough now. Removed the wood screen doors from the screened porch this past weekend. They had started to mold and fall apart. Replaced them with vynil doors. Looks good. Now to finish hanging the PVC trim on the rest of the outside, then next spring replace the decking on the landing to match the porch outside the sunroom and that project will finally be done! (only 6 years in the making)
Prayers for those in need.
Doug - sending prayers your way!
Fife - congrats on Middle Princesses’ new job!
Banks - take your meds and get some rest! prayers your way too.
Good evening,
A busy day yesterday so I ran out of time to post. Today wasn’t as busy and I am about ready to call it a night. Plus, I need to be at work earlier than usual tomorrow.
Good night,
Joe
Evenin’ boys. Cloudy & 40 along the Patterson Creek cutoff. Spent an hour or so with PODS rep on the phone. Problem is with local carrier. Doesn’t respond to corporate’s emails nor requests for communicating with customers. Received a telephone message saying 10:45 tomorrow. We. Shall. See.
Spent rest of the day assembling a Whalen 3-tier flat tv stand. There were many parts left over. Wish I had bought the service policy for the 50"…
Wifey took down what Halloween stuff with threw up, and it looks like autumn central with all of her scarecrows in the great room. She is most happy in her new digs, and we both like living along the Potomac Valley.
Since it’ll be awhile before I brake ground on a new layout, turning attention to Christmas layout. Gotta be careful about setting it up in the train room, as that would definitely create inertia for tear down.
Hello there,
yesterday is a blur. Slept till 1pm. Then took my camper to repair shop.
Front is"delaminating " from a roof leak I repaired 2 years ago. First place I went said it wasn’t worth fixing. This guy said 4or5 hundred. It’ll be ready next week.
Spent an hour or so helping son repair the burner for his coal stoker. Got 600 in parts but a new boiler is 10K. Went to all saints mass after getting mom from daycare. Then another hour getting the burner reinstalled before crashing for the nite.
Felt pretty good this am but down hill from there. Crashed on the couch waiting on time for her bedtime pills.
Fife…depending on what you are drilling through sometimes a hammer and chisel or a hammer drill and lots of small holes are quicker and easier than a big drill with a 2" bit. They can be a b***h to hold on to, especially in an awkward position. Been there done that. I to have a host of small hammer drills at the house and access to a big one from work. With all that is going on here now a quick trip to West By God Virginny to drill a 2" hole might be a welcome distraction.
Still no report from Fridays biopsy. Hope it’s not taking longer because they are trying to identify it.
Gonna try for a nap.
Prayers for those in need
Good evening all,
Very good day at work. Finished up a long term project, got labs done and got caught up on case reports to start the month. A rare trifecta. Had a good walk today and did some end of season yard trimming tonight while weather is good. Could probably do more, but probably won’t. Got Halloween stuff put away. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Wow. Page 1. October sure went by quickly.
Phish - All of those sound neat. Pick three or four of the ones that operate most dependably. Make sure that you let the kids operate one or two of them - with your guideance.
It is always interesting to queue up a rocket launcher and ask (tell) one of the older kids or an adult to “push that button” and watch their reaction when whatever it is takes off (you got to watch down range to make sure it is clear).
Automated gatemen are popular too. Semaphore Sam would also be a good choice. I’ve never seen one, but I’ll bet that the cow on the track would be another good choice.
Pick your favorites and run with them.
All for now.
Evening all!
Nice day high 80’s. Rain is gone from forecast. Low 70’s after the front rolls through later this week.
Been rooting for Chucks Indians but looks like not tonight. Winner take all tomorrow?
Banks - DougDG - [angel]
Mike C - congrats on the “trifecta” today.
Good start to November…
Jim,
A Talking Station will draw people to your display, and I like the 751/751A Log Loader paired up with a log dump car.

Then again, anything Flyer is good with me. [:)]

Do you have a 766/K766 Guilford Station? How’s the 356 Silver Bullet coming? I’m glad it’s in good hands.
Banks,
Continued [angel]
Fife,
Hope things are going well with the new Fifedom [:)]
Aloha. Supposed to be rainy but it’s a pretty morning - can’t believe the Cubs are still in it. Wouldn’t Chuck be thrilled!? Tonight should be fun. Jim, an AF T’giving layout sounds great. Hope you get the POD on Fri, Fife. Prayers for Doug and Ms. Banks.
Mornin’ boys. Clearing and 43 in the Potomac Valley today. S’posed to be nice temperature wise this week. Gotta keep pluggin’ along with the painting, and get outside and seal some cracks between the driveway and home.
Banksie - Very nice of you. I’m going to see if I can run something up and over the firewall before I go “blasting” through same. Continued best wishes for you as well.
88 - Same to you, thanks.
cnw1995 - Trying to get rid of my case of the PODS (since 10/18). Asked to speak with their Legal Dept, but gal “couldn’t” supply me with their number. We shall see today. Right now the line is 5-2.
Wow hit 78 on Nov 1st yesterday here. Worked outside all day after paying bills and getting food and supplies at Kroger. Still don’t have the corn out so the deer are still in the fields.
Afternoon. 74 degrees and warming. Busy Town morning. Maybe goof off this afternoon. Headed to the grill for fried chicken gizzards. [dinner]
I see the Fifedum is beginning to get established. Borrow a neighbor’s tractor. Hook to POD and drag it into the highway. Then let the local enforcement have it towed away. Then they will charge PODS for the towing. [;)]
All have a good one.
Good evening,
It was a bit chilly this morning on my drive to work but it warmed up to the low-50s and the sun peeked out once in a while. I spent most of the day in meetings but left work at a decent hour. The wife and I had a quick dinner alone and brought home pizza for the kids. Everyone is winding down for the night now.
Good night,
Joe
Shhhhhhh…
Hear that…?
It’s gone.
