The Chief remembered this morning. Well last night but close enough. Sun & 60s today…S.J.
October 1st = pay bills and the first day of sweeping and burning leaves. [:S]
Good Morning All !
Still trying to catch up from being away for almost two weeks. Got a small load of redwood for deck repair being delivered today, then the fun(?) begins. Hopefully it will stay cool for a few days and not rain any til I’m done. I’m sure that SWMBO will be watching and giving me the skunk eye when she believes it is time to take a break or stop for the day.
It is October 1st and I see that the conductor is giving us the signal to get this thing rolling:
Later all !
dougdagreatpumpkin - That would look better behind an 1882…
Good morning all,
Went to my gastrointerologist this week for follow up on my Crohns problem. He is not satisfied with the results of the medication I have been taking for a couple of years or so and may have to put me on a very expensive drug. I just finished scraping myself off the floor when I heard the cash price which was $12,000 per month. That’s insane. My insurance will cover some of it but I will still have to pay about 5K per year out of pocket. That’s still better than 12K per month. He has upped the dosage on what I am taking now and will see how that does before going to anything else.
Hope cooler weather is on the way. Slight chance of a shower by Monday. TTOS meet on Sunday. Will go if I can.
later,
Ray
Aloha. Sunny and very blustery today - too much for sailing though good for blowing leaves into the neighbor’s yard - and their leaves into my yard. [:D] I completely forgot it was October until right now. Wow, Ray, I hope it works.
Halloween is sure a great theme for a train or layout!
Thanks for the big scale Lionel info guys.
[D)]Fife,
Sometimes it goes behind the general :
just coming out of tunnel so not a very good photo.
Smetimes behind the 0-6-0:
And sometimes behind the Hallow’s Eve 4-6-0 :
Would like to invest in that new MTH halloween ES44 but that is just a little bit to much money to invest in something that would only run a couple weeks out o
Evening all wow chief remembered to start a pot thats a good sign.[:D] Not much going on in these parts thought I’d drop in and say happy october 1st and make sure that chief got the pot going. Hope all doing good all seems okay here talk to you all later
Happy October 1st!!
1 week from today, I’ll be in FLA USA to visit my daughter…miss her bad.
60’s and blustery waiting on this storm that may or may not hit…weather guessers…gotta love 'em
Mom and Dad are on their way to the Carolinas…just in time for the storm. Mom said, “we’re going” and that was that…
Off to dinner…NICE!! Made page 1 for the first time in a long time!!
Doug, those are great photos! Rich, take care with the big storm coming your way.
Evening all,
Well got the first pass on the leaves done and burnt. Very windy like Doug said so I had to keep a close eye on the fire and have the hose on the ready.
Going down Roy’s way to Texas Saturday to help a friend fighting with cancer move some stuff to his property there. Someplace by Weatherford west of Fort Worth best I know and I will be pulling a 28’ enclosed trailer full of stuff with a 2012 F150 EcoBoost. Should be interesting.
You guys out east keep an eye to the sky! [angel]
Hello all
Playing w/ some of the N-stuff I just got tonight. The loop I have is just too tight radius for this stuff. I originally got it for a trolley. Should work well on the layout though.
Sending some of the O-gauge off to points east.
Will work on the van some more this weekend. Then maybe next weekend I can use it to move the layout.

Good evening all,
Busy at work. Girls won 7-0. Boys lost 3-2. Sectionals next week. I hope everyone has a good day.

Mornin’ boys. Looks like just a glancin’ blow from Joaquin. We’ll see. Did get down to yatchet to double up and slack out the lines. Didn’t suffer any theft, though some of the guys on my pier did. A lot of folks panicked and hauled out this week. I worked the night of Isabel, and saw what worked and didn’t work in our area first hand.
dougdagreatgrumpkin - You know, some of the railroads paint their MOW engines in orange (CSX was big on that in the late 80’s and 90’s). Just a thought. Personally, I love the black and orange of the W&LE. Gotta admit, that “Hogwarts” Halloween loco is pretty sharp.

I grew up near Roseburg Oregon, we left the area 60 years ago. Its rural heavy forest area. I have fond memories of our place there and playing hiking in the woods with my friends. I was 12 or 13 when we moved to Calif. Logging and sawmills were the main industry then.
Good morning,
Packed and ready to go tomorrow.
All this talk on N-gauge has me wondering if it could be used on our O gauge layout amusement park area as a kids miniature train ride? I was thinking a 24” loop could be set around the outside of that area and maybe I could remove the tops of passenger cars and place o scale riders in the cars. I have no knowledge on N gauge track or trains at all. Any ideas? [:^)]
N ga. train for a park ride usually fits into O ga layouts pretty well.
Afternoon all watching the storm reports looks like we will be okay but still need to watch the after affect we could get from the rivers being over flowing from all the water north of us. as it does have to come this way. we will see.
Not much else going on need to get back into whats going to be my room and straighten it up some more so I can start claiming it again lol. Did do a major claim yesterday now to continue lol. I want to get the area for layout cleared out so I can start looking at that. This time I think it will be no carpet I will get foam and go from there.
Well you all have a good day. TGIF
