Yes about every other one had that issue.....

That explains the sound of no phone ringing.By All Rights I should be contacting a Divorce Attorney! I just got all the "stuff" upstairs where I could set it up on a large work table - got it all arranged - picked up the phone, fully charged, to call TERRY - and what did I find?
I cannot call anyone as Verizon recorded message informed me that service had been terminated! However I am receiving text messages - just cannot respond.
Terry, if you see this - I am going to the T-Mobile store and tell them to FIX-IT -- then I will look for an Attorney!
I asked her to leave the Verizon alone until I mastered the transfer. Perhaps it was T=Mobile who switched the service after she activated her phone - leaving me in the dark.
Maybe I will just toss it and go back to the landline? Served me well for 65 years!
KARL - That is a beautiful Pacific. Riddle me this? Is that a straight boiler; It looks like it has a taper?
My "Mike" has a straight boiler. I have only seen Mantua's with straight boilers.
EDIT: Ignore everything above - There are several on ebay - I stand corrected!
Prosecutors: Engineer deliberately ran train off tracks in attempt to smash the USNS Mercy
An engineer deliberately ran a train off the tracks at high speed in an attempt to damage the USNS Mercy hospital ship, prosecutors say.abc7.com
I thought April Fools was cancelled this year. If he'd been able to go another 800ft forward and steer it 470 ft to the left and get it to go about 250ft across the water he would have made it. So close.
Totally wasted. I still got in.Check out the fancy new lock on the door! That was a LOT of work to install.
Saw that. Don't know which is more astounding, the act or the motiveProsecutors: Engineer deliberately ran train off tracks in attempt to smash the USNS Mercy

If no phone rings in the forest, is he still wrong?That explains the sound of no phone ringing.
Good Morning All. Clear and 59°; another nice day in store, a bit breezy though. Breaking the quarantine today for the grocery/beer trek. It's been two weeks. Don't need TP or hand sanitizer though. Mainly fresh veggies, eggs, condiments and Diet Coke for the wife. I'll pick up some more beer even though I have plenty. I have beef, chicken and seafood in the freezer so I'll look for some pork chops.
Ham and grits for me this morning Flo.
Thanks for the likes and comments yesterday on my latest progress; Rick, George, Guy, Phil, Greg, Sherrel, Garry, Patrick, Mikey, Chad, Mike, James, Paul, Karl, Chet, Tom, Johnny, Ken.
It was not a stellar day in the train shed yesterday. I have come to the point in the structure build that several uniquely Bar Mills issues have come into play. Those who have built any of their kits will understand. Their instructions always seem to trail-off as you get to the end and all of a sudden there are mis-fits about. First is one of my own doing. The cast metal chimney comes with a square bottom for an angled roof; thus requiring the modeler to cut a hole in the roof to install it. What should have been a two scale feet by two and a half scale feet, I made two and a half scale feet square.

I had to fill the extra space with a piece of stripwood as seen above. Fortunately it goes on the back side and the patch/paint job won't be too visible.

Next, the covered stairway doesn't fit where intended.
View attachment 45894
As you can see, it is too tall.
I spent too much time on it to just throw it away, so what happens if I put it over on the side?
View attachment 45895
A little long, leaving a bit of a gap.
View attachment 45896
That can be fixed with some leftover siding cut to fit.
View attachment 45897
Yeah! This is clapboard instead of vertical siding, but I don't think that it will be noticeable. Also visible is the edge of the roofing that pulled back a bit when the roof was bent into position and fastened to the stairwell.
View attachment 45898
I can remove and reapply the tarpaper (I have extra) or see if I can just touch it up with some Grimy Black paint like I did the roof.
Lastly, out front, there's a gap below the front door that I assumed would be covered by the front porch. It would have still been there even if I had used the original solid door. But NO!
View attachment 45899
Unfortunately I had also already chiseled out the trim to fit the porch more snugly before I added the legs and realized that it would be too short. My solution will most likely be to add a concrete painted styrene pad under the whole porch assembly to bring it up to the hoped for height. The other option is to fill the chiseled out portion with putty and add some steps to the door. Extra work either way.
Karl - I have never built a wooden boxcar; it will be interesting to see your progress.
George - Neat videos.
Curt - That looks like quite a complex kit to assemble. I could really get into that one, but I have no coalfields on my layout.
James - Still wondering if that story is an April Fool's joke even though I read about it elsewhere.

Today is National Burrito Day, so enjoy one if it is safe to get one.
Everybody have a great day.
If you make sure "remember me" is checked, you shouldn't need to.Afternoon, I guess having to put in the username and password each time is the new norm.
Been mowing since January 6th and about every week and a half since.Morning all,
Coffee and short stack this morning. Thanks Flo!
Sherrel: Now you know why I stay DC. As someone who's been in IT for over 36 years, I've found the latest and greatest isn't always so.
As my friend Mr. Scott said, "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain." (Star Trek Reference)
Not much happened last night. I had my riding mower in last fall for maintenance so it would be ready when I needed it. It mowed the front yard last fall after I got it back to mulch the leaves (which I also blew out of the front beds) and then was stored until 2 weekends ago when I used it to get the first mow of both the front and back yards, then last weekend I got the front completed and stopped it long enough to get the front gate opened to move to the back yard, and the stopped again to close the gate and the mower quit moving. Engine runs, blades engage, but the mower won't move. The small mower shop I use (purchased the mower there nearly 11 years ago) came to pick it up last night and thinks I lost the drive belt which he said they should have caught last fall, so he's only going to charge me the cost of the new drive belt. I told him to let me know if it goes deeper than that. Good news on this is I do have a self propelled push mower that works very well. The bad news is I have a self propelled push mower and bad knees....
