Understand the dissolution with the Thanksgiving and Christmas programs to provide for those who are down and out at the time. I don't know if those who are scamming the system realize they are taking from someone else who is truly in need or if they actually care. I'm inclined to think the latter.Willie: Thanks. I'd appreciate any help I can get.
DJ(Ken): While I give to local charities and know there are people in need, I had my eyes opened to that years ago. Dad was the Religious Ed director at a local church and I was helping him deliver the Christmas Baskets to "needy" families in the Grand Rapids, Mi area. A couple of the families with kids showed me all the stuff they had thus received from charities. They were having a better Christmas than I was going to have. Not saying they weren't having problems, but the scam has happening since the early 70's at least.
I guess I'm just too much like Scrooge.
THANKS Steve,Snow just starting here - - hope the wife-unit makes it okay into Edina. And the log car and load look great!! Well done!
Man, I wish I could shake this crudola. No fever or headaches, so prob not the return of the 'vid, but cough and emptiness and no energy. Not good. Our church secretary who puts together all the handouts for SUnday morning lost her husband Sunday morning so she is off for a week or so. Leave me to put things together. And it is SUnday School Program Sunday so I get to work with a few snippy femmes. Fun, fun, fun. Feeling like the proverbial hammered dog-poo does not help.
Anyone hear of Rick Steins? WHen wifeykins was sicck she watched his cookery show on India. Man, we loves some Indian food! So she bought his book - I bought a Karahi, and we visited the Indian grocery Monday. Plan to cook through the book. I cooked CHicken Vindial last night. Gawd, it was tasty, if I say so myself! But that wiped me out energy-wise and was in bed by 2015. Up at midnight, back asleep circa 0300.
No time for the modeling, so nothing to report on that front. I did try to run my switcher for a few minutes to get a 'boose off a yard track and onto the cabby track and was thoroughly deflated at its sputtering and stalling. Time to clean track.
Those of you who attend church, please pray for your pastors/priests. Lots of pulls on us guys this time of year.

Always something isn’t it. Great looking layout. I just watched the coil car video againLazy day so far. Just putzing with minor repairs to the empire.
Fixed a kink in the track up in the mountain range. It was getting bad enough that auto racks were uncoupling. The benchwork underneath had buckled a bit with humidity I guess. One of the main 3" screws where under the track. A bit of cutting, chiseling and removing glued ballast to get to the screw head. Tightened it down, ran a check with a straight edge then an autorack train then glued it all back down.

Real branches, nice photo angle, focus spot,just for a second I thought it was a reference photo,excellent workGood morning, a chilly 5° and it snowed during my entire commute, so visibility about 150', drove about 45 mph the whole way. Only added up to a couple inches, I think,
Christian- Clementine was a person in a familiar old time song (Oh my Darling). I suppose it could have been the name of a gold mine somewhere.
Curt - I purchased a reconditioned computer once. It lasted exactly 6 months then simply did not respond. Was a "Toughbook" proved not to be very tough. Will never buy a reconditioned one again, as it was a bit spendy. Since it worked fine out of the box I gave them a good rating. Wish I could go back and change that.
I worked on dulling down my log cars a little, just used some water/white/alcohol. Also added some fine dirt to the bed of the , also some bark, so far I like the way they turned out:

The focus is on the back log deck.

No, sausages in batter, (or battered sausages if you prefer), beans and medium chips.Morning all,
44° and cloudy this morning. Supposed to get into the upper 50's later. It's the time of year where it's gloomy most days and getting dark early and light late don't help.
Had 5 does cross in front of me this morning where I hit the one a few years ago. First time I've seen them cross there since that hit. I was able to stop in time as I was able to see them. Old truck had oxidized\opaque headlights.
Smudge: Is that fish and chips with beans? We call them french fries (although I don't believe the French had anything to do with them), but either way looks delicious. I had a piece of Colby\Jack cheese for breakfast. I get a 2# block of it when it's on sale.
Talk about being in the war's, think it might be prudent for you to stay indoors for the next few weeks.Hello from So. Central Wisconsin where the weather will be turning back to Winter later today. The white stuff and high winds are never a good combo and that is the evening forecast. Now it is 28f degrees going to 40 around 3 PM and then starts its retreat into the high teens.
The Ortho appointment was fine. Happy with the progress and he gave me a compression brace that fortunately I was wearing a bit later. As we walked out into the reception area I got hit by one of those ADA scooters. It felt just like hitting the ice as the pain in the hip and back was excruciating when I hit the floor. 6 hours later, a MRI done and read I went home after signing nothing. No additional knee damage but the hip is tender. Bruised not broken. Terry has the security footage of the “incident” and a message from a woman who says her teen has it on video from his cell phone. A 10 year old kid, with inattentive parents being told he cannot drive the scooters hopped on one anyway and my body got in his way. No apologies from the parents or the kid who they tell me kept going after he hit me. He also drove into a nurse.
Any plans I had for the day have changed. Volleyball for the next rounds of the NCAA’s at 2 and 5 pm today are very much in doubt. It was suggested I stay off the leg today. We never got to the post office. I have to send FB Messengers today out to 3 people this morning I was mailing stuff to. #4 was WILLIE, your stuff will be posted today, sorry.
Tired, sore and frustrated I slept from 9pm to 2am in my chair in the cave. Tried the bed for about 40 minutes and went back to the chair and slept till 6:35. I am getting uncomfortable and when Terry gets back I will take the meds they gave me. She must have hid them as they are not where they should be.
bye
