Thanks for your service Curt, forgive me for overlooking such an important day, "a date which will live in infamy" I hope the "blah" passes quickly.
Today's Army - Navy game, win or lose should brighten your spirits. It's a fantastic spectacle no matter who wins. My daughter and son-in-law met in the Army and I owe my grandson to the Army, but I've been a Navy fan all my life.
Don't look at won - loss records. This rivalry has produced more than 1 upset! I don't follow college football, but I won't miss this game!
Great work, I love the pictures you post.
You made a good bet, I am ecstatic to have trains running! I have 2 up and running, 2 more close to running before Christmas day.
I have open floor space in my train room now, enough for a train and another Christmas tree! A few more days of shuffling/sorting boxes and I will have even more. After Christmas I am going to devote even more time to my train room!

Good morning Everybody!
I had another productive day yesterday and no cramps last night, I slept like a baby.
A little tired and sore this morning, but not much more than usual.
I'm hoping for another productive day!
You got to love a holiday called the festival of lights!
Enjoy the Holidays Everybody!

YMMV? When will I ever be up to speed on these abbreviations? Oh, that's right, NEVER! I'm going to withhold my weather information from you this morning, for no other reason than, I really don't have a good reason, other than: Weather is what weather does!

You've got to be kidding me!!! Why would there be an acronym for Your Mileage May Vary? I mean; COME ON, YGTBKM!!!

I already have #1943 on pre-order, and im trying to decide if I want to add #4141 to list, or is it I want it because of the events of the week. I have to be careful because I have a funny hunch ScaleTrains is going to announce Dash9s. If that's the case then they will get most of my hobby allowance this year. I do still have some N scale stuff held back to help offset the 4-6 that I will order. Got a few more weeks to decide.

I'm thinking of getting the non sound I can always add it later,I want them for display mostly.
I'm hoping they do the AC4400 that's my favorite.
I've seen this phenomenon, and Chet probably has, as well. My wife had to deal with it when she was working, as does our daughter-in-law.

Good Morning All. 37° and overcast, but the rain has temporarily stopped. It's actually been a slow drizzle since yesterday morning, I have about .75" in the rain gauge. Another miserable day in store today before the precipitation ceases around sunset. High today is only supposed to reach 38°, rather brisk 10 mph wind from the north right now. It may reach freezing tonight. Upper 50's Monday-Tuesday and back into the 60's by Wednesday. That should make up for Mark's weather boycott.
Due to the weather yesterday, the only outdoor activity that I got was taking my daily one mile walk during a rain break right after noon; that and the endless trips to bring in firewood for the wood-burning heater. OK, do the trips back and forth to the train shed count as activity? That's 100' each way!
Regarding the train shed, another day of no projects yesterday except to deal with some cars that had made it to the RIP track for inspection. All minor stuff like drooping couplers on two cars, a broken ladder on another, a "leaner" that needed truck adjustments and two ScaleTrains engines that I changed to Kadee couplers from their stock, somewhat useless ones. They are not magnetically operable (no trip pins) and they don't play well with Kadee's. I had already done this to another pair shortly after purchasing them. Switched cars in two more towns and ran a few through trains.
Louis - Congratulations on having a train running, finally. That will take away some of the holiday stress. Have you run out of Baltimore photos? You're now down to the bawdy side of town. LOL Watch for the special guest coin-tosser at the Army-Navy game today, hint: it won't be Catherine Pugh!
Chet - That is a really nice rail picture from yesterday.
Curt - Nice job on the ice house roof, and the whole structure as well.
Greg - I have a question regarding your purchase of the Walther's metal wheels. Are they really Proto 2000 or are they just the newer Proto version? I really liked the P2K when LifeLike made them, but the Walther's Proto line look very toylike, they're just too bright and shiny. Nice scene with the engine house.
Phil - Good to see you posting this morning. I see that you have the new lingo down pretty well.
Along with today being National Brownie Day, for all the Catholics out there, it is Immaculate Conception Day. Seventeen more days until Christmas and Louis can quit holding his breath!
Everybody have a great day and a wonderful weekend.

Good morning. It's cloudy and 35.
We're waiting for Snowmageddon to start later today. Current local forecast is for 7-12" of snow, with up to a quarter inch of sleet and freezing rain mixed in. That will make for some very wet, very heavy snow, that is expected to bring down power lines all around the area. I've test run both generators, just in case, and we've moved up my wife's birthday lunch to today, rather than tomorrow, which is her birthday.
Yesterday afternoon, before I left work, I retractred all the slideouts on all the RVs on the lot, and moved several trailers out of the way, to clear the main parking area for plowing. Depending on how much snow we get, and maybe more importantly, how much ice we get, I'll be plowing the lot either Monday or Tuesday. I will drive in a limited amount of snow, but I don't drive on ice. Period.
