Good morning y'all. 58°, and raining.
Louis, Max and Willie: Thanks for more great photos. The Pittsburgh streetcars are great. The one photo showed cobblestones the same color as the ones I am using on my model railroad. The NS Office car move brought back memories of my rides on the OCS Trains. I remember the pre NS, Southern Rwy used to keep their cars on #6 track at Washington Terminal. The cars were painted a deep, almost black, Pullman Green. The Southern was headquartered in Washington, although I believe operations were centered in Atlanta.
Yesterday, we ran errands. I bought a new TV at Costco, which replaced a ten year old TV that had startup issues, but once started worked fine. Spent the afternoon setting it up. What ever happened to plug and play?

Dave, great pic, that's what I'm hoping for when we get there!I'll throw one into the mix also, this is the road from Durango to Silverton on Oct 12, 2010. We were in a hurry to get home from New Mexico so didn't take the train. Beautiful country.

Good afternoon. It has stopped raining and is 51.
Some of you may remember I spoke about raises and benefits where I work, and was rather outspoken about the purchase of a truck instead of a raise.
The end result is interesting.
I ended up getting a 75 cent an hour raise.
And the truck to use for “official business”, so I no longer have to use mine.
The raise was “meh”, the benefit is pretty nice.
Be more glad that it's not in California!I just took the new truck to fill the tank.
I’m glad I don’t have to pay to keep it full. $120...
Awesome looking weathering there, Curt!Afternoon All,
Slept like doggie doo doo last night. I spent about an hour on the build today but I couldn't get motivated.
Terry- I'm glad something good came out of your injury.
Greg- Nice looking motor car.
Chet- I believe it's Joe who you meant.
Joe- Modern electronics ruined the concept of plug and play.
Willie- Thank you. Congrats on losing weight. I can't help but think you need a Pennsy train on your layout!
Louis- Great night shot at Altoona.
Max- I really like the CSX trestle. Is that the PA turnpike above it?

Joe- Modern electronics ruined the concept of plug and play.
This is what the atmosphere has been like for days
Oh no Toot, that's not good. Wish we could send you some of the monsoon we've been having !
Ray: That's bad! Karl's right, y'all could use some of our reoccurring rain.
