Steve, that sounds like a dandy! Invite the coffee shop and test it out with a leg-of-lamb, 3 boston butt roasts, 4 chickens, and a hotdog for Ray. :D

HEY! I don't do hotdogs........;) :rolleyes: Think I could go for that BBQ lamb that Steve has in mind though. I'll even bring some good Finger Lakes Wine for the occasion.
 
you can get some good deals on ebay though, look at the scale as well, they also do 1/50 and 1/32 ? which are expensive

Good morning folks

It was 43 F as I hobbled to work this morning. High will be 59 F. The foot with the bone spur has not been kind to me the last few days. While the severity and intensity of the pain has gone down, I now have a constant ache. I am not sure which is worse; the ache or the short burst of intense pain. Amputation with a plastic butter is beginning to sound more and more viable. I can’t wait unit Monday when I can finally see the Foot and Ankle doctor.

No modeling last night. We had Cub Scout Roundtable. Tonight does not look good either with flute lesson and Cub Scout den meetings.

I hope everybody has a good day.
 
Good Mornong Bill & Tom ! Another nice day for now here on the Niagara Frontier . Rain is in the forecast so will have to break out the umbrellas. Last night the DVR blew up while we were sitiing eating dinner in the dining room. Jusst luck we were home and no electrical fire. My daughter lost all her AMerican Idol show and I lost all my Train shows. Fried the harddrive. Now on TV in the living room for a few days. At least I'll be in Florida Tomorrow so don't matter to my wife and me. Oh well have to get going for some last minute things . Hope all have a nice day !!!! Ray I'll have a Bully Hill Red or Blush if your buying ! Jim sure glad to here your wife and daughter were ok and the confrence went off without a hitch, They did a Brick rebuild here about ten years ago on a small section of street . It looks really nice . Steve sounds like the BBQ is going to turn out nice . I'll bring the Ribs and Homemade Polish Sausage !!!

Morning all!

I had an interesting deal last night. I was about to head to a leadership meeting at church when my daughter said that she had to talk to me. She'd been out in the garage at the place she nannys at and was looking for an air pump to pump up the boys basketballs when she came onto a bag on top of the fridge out there (we store our ball pump on top of the fridge so we don't lose it, so it was only natural for her to look there). She looked in the bag and found a couple of porno movies and a bag of weed. She wasn't sure what to do about it. I called the people up and told them that today was her last day and when they asked why, I told them. They were endangering my daughter and their own kids by having drugs around. I mean, what if the cops showed up? My daughter, being a teenager, would likely get blamed for their stupidity! And pornogaphy? No, no, no! They were a bit upset, but I don't care! I told them to mail her last check to my work and gave them the address. Then I had my daughter tell her backup nanny about it since they were likely going to call her as a replacement. They had already called her and she had accepted, but when she heard what my daughter had to say she called them back and told them no. Now I know that people screw up all the time. Everyone does. But I'm just not down with that! Frankly, I'm kinda glad that deal is over.

BTW, the leadership meeting went real well.

So whats up with you?
 
Good morning all.

The construction crew is putting in 10-11 hour days at present so the progress on the road tear up is good.

I'm on a mission to find some Norscot equipment now. Maybe a construction implement or manufacturer can find it's way to my layout in the future.
 
Mornin' everyone!

Philip, sounds like you have raised a level headed and responsible young lady! It is good to see teens that feel comfortable bringing problems like that to their parents.

Paul glad you were home when that happened! You might have lost a whole lot more.

I actually took some time to work on a scratchbuild silo blower for the farm scene last night. Did a bit of scenery there also. I have spent 30 or so hours looking for photos of old farm silo blowers on the web. They just don't exist I guess. I found one shot at an antique tractor site, and have an old )1960s) photo my sister took of a junked one at Don Howard's "dead letter office" (The junk area at the dealership).

Going to try to fix a leak in a downspout connection before the rain starts today, so I best get at it.
 
Ray, she's a very good girl. And I try to stay very involved in my kids lives. If you don't stay in your kids lives these days, someone else will!
 
Now I know that people screw up all the time. Everyone does. But I'm just not down with that! Frankly, I'm kinda glad that deal is over.
Phillip I couldn't agree more. What in the he** is wrong with some people in the world today. I'm glad I play with trains, at least that won't ruin anyone's life (unless I overspend and can't buy the groceries :D )
You can certainly be proud of your young lady, shows what a good upbringing can accomplish, I'm sure she'll do OK in this world. I'm sure you've already told her how proud you are, If not best you tell her.
Kind of nice to know the world hasn't gone totally to pot yet.

Afternoon, Everyone.

Phillip, sounds like you've got a good girl there. The porno, assuming it's otherwise legal and they haven't been showing it to her, is a moral, not a legal matter. The weed is another matter. Once she knows it's in the house and the exact location, most states have a law called "constructive possession". That means that, if the police find it in the house while she's there, she can be charged with possession the same as the actual owners of the dope. It's good you got her out of that job and let her backup know what's going on also. I've been involved in cases like this and dopers will try to lay off the possession on anyone they can and your daughter doesn't need that kind of grief. How old are their children? Being an ex-cop, I'm probably more hardnosed about these things than the average person but I'd consider calling the police and telling them what she found. They may be doing more than just smoking weed and their children may be in harms way. Bad scene no matter what you do.

Carl, Walmart used to have a selection of Norscot Cat equipment but I haven't seen any in months. I got the grader, bulldozer, and excavator for something like $5 each. Those are the only ones I've seen sold at WM. You can get them on-line but the price is usually more like $20. I guess all you can do is keep checking back or pay the big bucks. :(

Tom, sorry about the pain from that bone spur. I sure hope you can get it fixed on Monday.

Paul, that's the first time I've heard of a DVR blowing up. Did it actually catch on fire? You might check at http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prerel.html and see if they have any recalls listed or that device. I'm of the opinion that anything with too much American Idol stuff is bound to blow up anyway. :)

Ray, we used to have a big silo behind out house when we lived in Defiance, Ohio, and I remember a large blower moter that was attached to the bottom. The silo was abandoned so I never saw it action but we used to climb all over that silo and it looked like the blower motor was there to blow silage up into the silo. An old farmer told me they also used to run the blower before they went into the silo to get rid of "bad air". Wish I would have taken some picture because it sounds just like what you need but I was in fourth grade. :)

Sunny and warm day down her in the Heart of Dixie. It's 83 right now and we may get a few thunderstorms later but that doesn't look too likely. We've got a storm coming in Friday that looks a little more powerful but I'm hoping our warm air cap holds and limits convection so we get some more rain but nothing too severe.
 
Afternoon, Everyone.

Phillip, sounds like you've got a good girl there.

Indeed she is!

The porno, assuming it's otherwise legal and they haven't been showing it to her, is a moral, not a legal matter.

I'm not sure how legal it is, and I don't think she looked at the boxes (they were videos she said) long enough to know either, but you're right in that it's likely a moral issue.

The weed is another matter. Once she knows it's in the house and the exact location, most states have a law called "constructive possession". That means that, if the police find it in the house while she's there, she can be charged with possession the same as the actual owners of the dope. It's good you got her out of that job and let her backup know what's going on also. I've been involved in cases like this and dopers will try to lay off the possession on anyone they can and your daughter doesn't need that kind of grief.

I didn't know that! I'm glad thats not an issue any more now that she's out of there.

How old are their children?

First grade and under.

Being an ex-cop, I'm probably more hardnosed about these things than the average person but I'd consider calling the police and telling them what she found. They may be doing more than just smoking weed and their children may be in harms way. Bad scene no matter what you do.

Yeah, I'm still on the fence about it.

Yep, that is exactly what I am looking for. I remember 2 of them when I was a kid. The oldest, which is the type I am building actually chopped the corn or grass as it filled the silo. The newer one which my Dad only used for about 10 years he got used and that one only blew the chopped corn into the silo. They were run using a "belt" tractor and a leather belt to transfer the power to the filler. The early ones were run by steam power and then using kerosene farm tractors (Like the McCormack Deering 10-20) and later Gasoline tractors.

That "Bad Air" that old farmer was referring to was NO2 or NO4. When inhales it turned into Nitric acid and literally burned out your lungs. Very nasty stuff and a couple of good breaths of it could kill very quickly. My Dad knew a couple farmers that died from it and we were all taught not to even play near the silo during the time it was fermenting. Nitrogen Dioxide is heavier that air and collects in the silo and in closed areas connected to the silo. It has been known to kill cattle on farms where the cows are housed and the silo area is enclosed.

here is the only helpful photo I have found (one from my sister):

Aftrenoon all ! Philip ditto from myself as well . good girl you have raised . Not enough parents nowadays stay involved in their cihildren's lives . I would stay clear of that family and watch out for them in the future.Sorry jim it was not my DVR that blew but my Satelite receiver recording device . I was sitting in my dining room and watched it blow out the back since my wall unit sits in away that I can see the back. I think it didn't get enough air circulation and overheated . I rent it from the Dish company so it is replaceable. Now I'm going to Radio Shack and get a little fan to put bsck there to circulate. Ray my uncle had a fram and I can remember him telling me not to go in the silo . He said that I would pass out and not live to long if I did. Being only 7 or 8 at the time I listen to his advise and took it that !!
 
Good morning.

It's cloudy and 75 degrees here this morning, wind is S at 12 mph with 33 mph gusts, expecting a high of 81 and there's a good chance of thunderstorms today.

Today's Weather for:
Sundown, LA 71446-6114 4/10/2008

Dew Point: 67°F

So Far Today
High: 75°F
Low: 75°F
Rain: 0.00"
Rain Rate: 0.00"/h
Gust: 31mph S

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TODAY...

A VIGOROUS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL ADVANCE SLOWLY NORTHEAST TODAY. THIS WILL MAINTAIN A STEADY STREAM OF WARM AND MOIST GULF AIR INTO THE REGION YIELDING A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. THIS COMBINED WITH FAVORABLE UPPER AIR SUPPORT AND WIND PROFILES...WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT.

Today High: 82 Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning...then chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 80s. South winds 15 to 20 mph. Chance of precipitation 30 percent.

Tonight Low: 68 Mostly cloudy with a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows in the upper 60s. South winds 10 to 15 mph.
