MIL - Sounds familiar. My sympathies.Sherrel: Certainly! This past Thursday, was the final injection in the series. On average, the Gel sets up and becomes effective around six errks from the initial injection. So somewhere around February 13, give or take a few days, I'll know if it worked. I see the doctor on the 13th, also. meanwhile, the PT is suspended until the next visit. I'm disappointed because I was beginning to feel like the PT was helping. Going to continue with what I can at home.
MIL is in the Rehab, pretending she cannot walk...i don't know what she is thinking, but she will not be happy with the consequences of being "bedridden" and in need of nursing care.
Spent the day trying to get my HP OfficeJet Pro to work, bad print quality. turns out the printer head is leaking ink. I still have the old Canon, which will still print using a generic Windows 10 driver. Canon stopped supporting this series when Win 10 came out. I'm in no hurry to buy a new printer, as long as the Canon functions.
Sherrel: I'll do my best to take a couple of photos of that 0-8-0. It will be likely that I'll post the photo or two tomorrow in the Coffee Shop.
Sitting here at my computer my wife's "To Do List" is getting longer.
Yesterday, I looked at a DCC decoder manual and it was roughly 468 pages long!!!!

Height is a subjective thing. I'm using standard-height (36"?) folding tables so I can sit and roll around as I "work" ("Fun is Work, but Work that is done for its own sake"). It's been a while since I've been to an actual bar but, at 6'4", Istr they come up to about my abdomen. If you're going 6"above that, that's up to my chest. Well, your railroad, your rules; I'm just having difficulty visualizing it.Well one of my take aways at this show was the varying heights of these modular layouts. From 42 inches to 52 inches I found that very interesting as I am working my layout frame work. I started one wall thus far with the ledger set at 42 inches which is standard bar height. Now I am rethinking it and may go to 48....we shall see.
Another interesting thing about the show was the immense talent and certain people are providing their talents as a service or creating that one thing and selling it. Always intriguing.
I will begin posting my progress soon on my layout etc.
Longjohns. I've spent my entire life living in cold places: Michigan, Alaska, Vermont, mainly. Strange thing is, I hate the cold! I've always wanted to live somewhere warm, but have never managed more than 6 weeks at a time. Sigh.8 minutes ago

Good morning. 34 degrees with a few inches of snow that came down over night. Should melt off by afternoon as the high again is expected to be in the 40's.
Beady - Nice photos of the ships. I would imagine that you probably owned a set or two of long johns.
Joe - You are correct, that is the USS Luce, DLG-7. That was my favorite of the 3 ships that I was on. No pool, but we had a great cook and there were no complaints at all. The first was the USS Farragut, DLG-6, the same class ship as the Luce. Only spent a few months on her before getting transferred to the Luce. We made so many port calls on the Luce pretty well all around the world. I think the cruise we made to the Persian Gulf in 1968-1969 were probably the most interesting. The last ship I was on was the USS Little Rock, a guided missile cruiser. Spent only six months on it. Got transferred there when the Luce went into the yard for a major overhaul and a new guided missile radar system.
Alan - Nice shot of the Ike. I got out after 6 years just about the time they laid the keel for the Eisenhower. I enjoy the tin cans myself.
James - Looks like you made a pretty good haul at the train show. Should keep you busy for a while. Nice photos from the train show also. They had some nice flat car loads. Some of those locomotive prices were a bit steep. Quite the modular layout. This is what I like to see at train shows.
Willie - Nice photos. With the long main line run you have, you sure can add quite a few structures. I'm jealous being that I am out of room. Nice photo. Nice repair work on the tanker.
Jim - Nice photos. Like the WM steamer on the turntable. I will have to admit that I really enjoyed sailing around the world. So many people never get the opportunity to travel like that. In fact many rarely travel more than 100 miles from where they grew up. Many time I think about the countries I visited years ago that I wouldn't want to think about going to today.
Mikey - Love that southern saying. Many times on a road trip we would get off of the interstates and get onto the loal roads and see how the local people would live. Also enjoyed stopping at local eateries enjoying the local food.
Terry - Love it when they change their prices on you and you get blindsided. I am still with DirecTV. $52 a month with 2 receivers, HD and 2 DVR's. Get a discount for being an AT&T customer and a veteran. I had an issue with them but they were helpful and when I threatened to drop their service I got my bill reduced from around $150 to $52.
Johnny - Really like those close up photos. Nice.
I have had this for years but forgot what it actually is. Thinking it possibly is for a trolley. Any ideas????

If it only has tender pickup, that would be one reason for it remaining boxed.Tomorrow it will receive a wheel cleaning and a long break-in run. I don't know why the locomotive been in its box for approximately 15 years?
