Mornin' Steve!

Mornin' Bill!

Mornin' Jeffrey!

Looks to be a fairly nice seasonable day here in the Finger lakes. A few bits of partly cloudy are falling out of the sky at the moment. Not going to amount to much just a reminder that it is still Winter. The high should be 32°F with a mild breeze.

I am Trioritizing the days activities as I have 3 things that have to get done first........

Have a good day!

Good Morning Steve , Bill , Jeffrey & Ray ! A Another typical Winter's day ! Little snow and falling temps. We already had are high of the day and it's 29 now and falling. Prayers out to the families of the Valentine's Day Massacre at Northern Illinois University . Six poor children dead and lot more wounded. When will it stop ? My daughter goes to college yet and I worry every time she goes out the door. All this talk about water . My son calls me this morning and he can't get out of his driveway or take a shower. The water main broke in front of his home so he took a personal day off from work. Well gonna go out and get some snow removal done. Oh yeah glad to hear that Rex and Jim's daughter are getting over their flu attacks. My dog seems to have caught the bug also . Got up this morning and there was poop all over the kitchen floor. Just what I wanted to do this morning . Oh well hope all have a real good day !!!!!!!

Can you get the flu through he Internet? I have it, and I think I got it from you fine folks! Just kidding, you don't really feel for people who are sick until you get it. Then you know what it's like.

Is winter over yet? I don't usually mind it, but this year is getting a little old. My wife wants to move to Las Vegas to be near her sister. I told her there was no way I was moving to the desert! I may rethink my position.

I haven't stopped in for a while, I hope you folks have a good day. They are having a hug fest across the street since the latest meltdown. The fights are entertaining, the make-ups get on my nerves!
 
That forum is making me crazy this week. I like most of the people there, some of them drive me up a wall. I like this forum, it's just a lot slower paced. Seeing how I have nothing to do these days, I like a little faster feedback. Once I start working again, I won't care how fast I get an answer.

I think everyone is being way too well behaved over there right at the moment. I'm thinking of starting a "Weekend Photo Insult" thread.........:rolleyes: :rolleyes: I also thought about commenting on jktrains' first photo and suggesting that next time "he needs to get all the stray ballast off the track before he takes the photo as it horribly detracts from the quality of the loco he is trying to show. Oh, and he would do much better to place the train away from the rail joiners that show there. There are also so much better ways to join different codes of track than what he did. Any one who knows anything about the hobby knows better than to do it that way. Why don't you do a search? There are lots of good photos of that type of thing out there. Just do a little research....." But I didn't.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;) :D
 
Him and Dave V are pretty sure the bathroom doesn't stink after they use it! What I'm guilty of is getting angry with Packer#1. I swore he was asking those questions just to get a rise out of everybody. If you look at the 'train wars' thread, Packer#1 asked almost every one of those questions in a matter of days.
 
Good afternoon folks

Couldn’t get here before now. It has been one those days/weeks. Worked, worked, worked all week on a project but at the end of the week I am still where I was Monday.

It was 32 F as I left this morning. First morning in a while that I did not have to deal with below freezing and icy roads. The high today will be 50 F. Then we will be back down in the thirties and then back into the fifties. We seem to be on a temperature roller coaster the next week or so.

No modeling last night. My wife had to work late so we just had a simple dinner at home and exchanged gifts. I picked up my new glasses yesterday and I am trying to get used them. I have joined the world of bifocals and I have to keep reminding myself to use them.

We have a busy weekend. On Saturday we have our Cub Scout Sleepover at the Delaware Museum of Natural History. On Sunday both kids have basketball games. It looks like I am (being) volunteered to help with making centerpieces for our upcoming Blue and Gold Banquet and some of help will require using the airbrush.

I would like to finish weathering all the TOFCs and other flat cars.

We are about ready to head out with my son to his guitar lesson and then grab some dinner.

I hope everybody has a good evening.
 
what is wrong with those people accross the street???????? I havent posted there in a long time, but do stop in once in a while to see whos bashing who...what a mess they have going on there, i am so glad its well tended to here. ryan
 
Yes, I keep thinking about the seventh grade girls I used to teach who could be really nasty to each other. Once somebody calls them on it, they then become sicky sweet..... for a while. The ones who are really good at it are hard to tell what they are doing. But the rolling eyes usually give it away.... LOL. I have some stuff that I am working on (scratch built) but I don't think I will put it in either of the Weekend threads over there. By tomorrow I hope to have some shots for ours though.
 
There actually seems to be as many posts to the photo thread here as over there. If you cut out the snide remarks, there isn't much participation over there anymore. I've noticed that a fair amount of people are shying away from that forum lately. It's too bad, I wonder where else they are posting? Maybe they are just modeling! That's a novel idea. I don't have the option for that right now, or else I'd do the same.
 
Did you guys see the news: they said this years flu shot only covered 40% of all the different strains that's here?:eek: (Both my wife and me had the shot.)

Rex, all flu shots only cover about 40% of the known strains. It's actually closer to 30% since there are about 110 known strains and the flu shot covers about 20-25, depending on the year. They have a committee of flu specialists who meet each year to decide what strains to include in this years shot. If they gave you a shot that covered all the known strains, it would cost an arm and a leg and, more importantly, it would kill a lot of people like the elderly and those with poor immune systems. They just can't pump that many strains of flu into you at once without some bad side efffects. About every 10 years, the flu committee makes a bad guess and we get an outbreak that the flu shot doesn't protect against. The only issue with this one is how bad it will be. If it's just a moderate outbreak, that's an acceptable risk. If it's a new strain like the Hong Kong variety of about 10 years ago, then we're in trouble. So far, it seem to make people feel like crap for about five days but it doesn't seem to be a killer.

I don't ever post across the street any longer. I miss some of the folks there and do trawl through the sewage for tidbits of useful information but I'm not going to contribute to that cesspool until they start whacking some of the chronic troublemakers and know-it-all's there.

Paul, yes, another terrible shooting spree on a college campus. There is only one way to prevent this, or at least decrease the total deaths, and that's to stop making places like colleges "gun-free" zones. The gun-free zone concept only applies to ordinary, law abiding citizens. As we've seen over and over again, criminals and crazy people could care less about the law. Any gun owner with a valid concealed weapons permit should be allowed to carry on school grounds. If one of those students or staff had been armed and had the courage to take this guy out, it could have saved at least five other lives. If we are going to have crazy people on campus with guns, I also want to have sane people on campus with guns. If your son or daughter were in that class, do you think they would have stood a better chance if I had my weapon wth me or locked away in my car because the college is a "gun-free" zone? :mad:

my friend had a flu shot before christmas,,, he got flu within two days and was very ill for two weeks, it knocked the stuffing out of him big time, last time he's having a flu shot
 
Hi gang,

Just checking in. Been a rather crazy week around here, wasn't too much in the mood for modeling...until last night, that is. I finally resumed work on an old bluebox SD40-2 that I plan to use as 'window dressing' when I get an engine terminal on my layout. Tried some new weathering techniques on it.

I've been entertaining myself by reading the 'war' threads across the street, but never posting to them (I don't want my name associated in any way with that insanity). I guess that sort of thing is inevitable on such a large forum.

Rex, sorry to see you've had to cope with the flu, especially since you got the flu vaccine. I guess the 'committee' just didn't get it right this year! My 9yr-old daughter came down with it late Thursday night, she can't seem to keep her medicine down because of the vomiting. Hopefully her fever will be lower today, otherwise we may have to bring her to the hospital to get some IV fluids.

Jim, I agree with you 100% about the 'gun-free zone' nonsense. Washington DC has outlawed guns for at least the past 15 years, and you can see how it affected their crime rate...:rolleyes:

Morning everyone!

Another beautiful morning!

Well, the wife is down to using a cane after the surgery a few months ago. That right leg is doing pretty good. Now the doc wants to do the left. He's talking about two weeks from now! Here we go again!

My boy's basketball team is doing a fund raiser. They're selling pizzas. So far he has the most sold. He's sold close to 40 of those things!

Oh well, I'm outta here!

Later!
 
Good Morning Jim , Bill , Steve & Ken L from sunshiny and cold Buffalo !It's 12 our and Labatts Beer is holding a hockey tournament on frozen lake Erie today if anyone is interested in attending. Well gotta go get the wife off to work so hope all of you stay warm and flu free and have a great day !!! Just missed you Phillip good morning and hope the doctor can give your wife a little down time !
 
Mormin' Everyone!

Ah, Paul, Hockey like it is supposed to be played....... You know I went to fight once, and a hockey game broke out. Speaking of hockey pucks, I better check in next door to see if everyone is still being sicky sweet to each other.....:rolleyes: ;) :D

We got the same weather Paul has got. Should be as fairly nice day all told.
