Number Twelve Coffee Shop is now open

Good morning folks.

I just ordered a box of Peco Flex track, a box of Midwest cork, and a bunch of cork switch pads. I will finally be able to move forward with my layout. I think I was stalling a while there. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with my city area. Well, I still don't know, but it will come to me as I work. It always does.

My finger is finally starting to heal. It's still swollen, but it seems to be getting better. I pet the little beasty that bit me yesterday. He came over and said he was 'sorry' while I was at my Grandmother's house. I think I'll still keep my distance from that little guy. I'd hate to have to drop kit him!

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm off to work.

Good Morning from the sunny Finger lakes!

Currently 54°F with a high of 66°F today. The forecast calls for "abundant sunshine, winds light and variable". Just a beautiful Fall day.

Carey, glad to hear yu are doing better! "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all" seems to describe what you've been through.

Corey glad your hand is getting better. Cats do seem to know when they caused someone pain and do appear to show remorse. I wouldn't have believed that except for I have had it happen when Manet bit me when I was medicating him. Lucky it didn't get infected, but for the next few days he would come over look at it, and then meow. Then he would want to cuddle.......

Hope all of you have a great day!

Afternoon, everyone.

CJ, good to see you again. Three hernias!?? Ouch. Thanks goodness for narcotics. Seems like we are having an epidemic of A/C failures down here but at least it's less than 900 degrees. Do what you can to keep yourself healthy for the ARG meet.

Rex, this whole thing is greed, right from those people down the street who bought the house they couldn't afford because bankers were willing to make loans to anyone all the way up to the President, who did nothing to stop it. The ones that will really suffer are people who have lived debt free and were responsible. While the government spends all out money rescuing the irresponsible, all I see is my investments shrinking. I don't think the government is going to stop by my house with a dump truck load of money to help me out.

Ray, is that boat gone yet? Sounds like you needed the old ball-peen hammer fix for the HEPA filter. I kind of think my cat was sorry after he scratched the heck out me too although he still has an evil look to him sometimes. Kind of an apology and warning not to do it again at the same time.

Jeffrey, that crossover is looking good with the convict work force finishing it up.

Corey, glad the finger is starting to feel better. The doc has you on antibiotics, right? Sometimes the best thing to do is get some track down and then step back and take a look. Like you said, a lot of times things just seem to fall into place naturally about where things should go when see it in 3-D.

Monday will be interesting. The G7 is not doing what the market wants - guaranteeing interbank loans. Even worse, it looks like the EU is starting circle their own wagons hoping not have their banks get taken down with US banks. I don't think this bodes well for a good day Monday but we might get a sucker rally for a few hours. If you have beaten down stocks that go up 10 or 20%, that would be the time to sell. Unless you are under 35 and saving for retirement, don't get caught up in the hype that everything is OK. The market still has a long way to go before the bottom. OTOH, if you're young and saving for retirement, buy good quality consumer staple companies like Kraft and Johnson & Johnson on every drop. The market's having an 80% off sale right now and, as long as you have enough years to wait out this mess, you will be rewarded handsomely when retirement time comes.

Ever had that virus you can't seem to shake? I'm fighting one now. It's effecting my concentration and my vision, not to mention my balance. I'm keeping the makers of DayQuil in business.

Good Evening to all,
I just wanted to let you guys know if your interested in any of the shots I taken of the new section I've reposted all of them so they can be enlarged considerably for easier viewing even for me.

They are under Layout Plans, under the C & S West SL, enjoy and if you have any comments or questions feel free to state it or ask.

Say Jim: These images should be much easier viewing for you, they sure are for me too. I thought the earlier ones I posted would be able to be enlarged but for some reason they didn't even attempt to enlarge and I posted them big enough, pixel wise, so they should have been able to be enlarged?? This time I probably went a litte too large at 1204x 806? I think it was, probably could have stayed with 800x600 or there about.

Say Rex: The poll idea sounds interesting but I'm spending so much time behind the darn computer it eats into my RR time and the little folks are getting pretty upset! Besides I'm going to shoot for having at lleast the main line done by the middle of Dec if possible along with getting my control center resituated and everything wired for DC so it
with blocks so I might be a little too ambishous?? Time will tell.

I'm not sure just how much effort I would need to put into a poll but I guess it could be ddone? It would be interesting.

Hope everyone has had a good day and got things done as you wanted.

Dat it! yes that's what she's got, real bad case of it! They tell us there isn't much they can do with it either? Yesterday a man was admitted with the same thing! Now picture kidney stones+ Diverticulitis= Drug cart parked outside her rooms door!

Good Morning All from a Chilly Coarsegold,
It as 38*F at 8:00 so you know it getting a bit Nippy out!

last night I started laying a bit of Dual Gauge to be abll to run HOn3, I'll see how far it goes, I have the sweetest little 0-6-0T Saddle Tank engine I'd love to be able to operate so time will tell how much HOn3 guage I get laid? It may be more trouble than it's worth but looks cute as heck?

Jeffery and others;
After taking any kind of Antibiotics it's very important that you take Asadolphalis for at least a month to replinish all the good gems the antibotic killed off in order to keep your bodys immune system built up.


Oh, I almost forgot, I did post a 'Poll' question under Discussion about how each individual operated their layout alone as far as switching cars around during any operation session for those that are intersted,


Have a good day, a light hand on the throttle prevents excess Freight Damage!

Just changed out my keyboard a little while ago. My computer was locking up for seemingly no reason, sometimes the mouse would work and sometimes it wouldn't. I restarted the computer several times and the problems would keep popping up. Throughout all this the keyboard was acting erratically. I hooked up my old keyboard that I bought years ago (made by a company called A-Open), restarted the computer and all the problems disappeared. I looked through my records and found the warranty info on the new keyboard. It died just two days AFTER the warranty expired! FANCY THAT! I won't be buying any more keyboards from CMI.

 

[hamltnblue]

Restarting doesn't always work. Sometimes your have to unplug the computer from the wall. Even though you power down the motherboard is still functioning to some extent.

Afternoon everyone!

Long day today. Had to be at church before 8 this morning to set up the "fish cooker" for the salt potatoes we served at the Kabob lunch put on by the deacons. Cooked up 50 lbs. of potatoes, helped with the BBQ fire, and ran the dishwasher after the meal. I no sooner got home than my son walks in, so I helped him finish some stuff on his boat and loaded it onto his trailer. YEAH!!!!!!!! Hopefully my lawn will recover. If not I will have a nice patch of weeds until it fills in again.

I am officially pooped for today. After supper I will probably putter around in the trainroom for a bit, rhearse for the clinic next Saturday and then collapse.

 

[jeffrey-wimberly]

System works perfectly now. Shut down and hooked the other keyboard (the new one) back up and restarted and it was back to the same problems. The fault is definitely with the keyboard. It now resides outside in the trash can.

That's the reason I lost half my colon 15 yrs ago. If they offer the option of surgery, take it. This stuff doesn't go away. Recovery was a little rough, but all in all the whole experience was worth it to be rid of the pain.

 

[leghome]

Chrisdiverticulitis My mother in-law has that and she usually has very few problems with it. She eats no hulled vegetables(corn, peas. popcorn or anything that has a skin or hull on it) and no peanuts. She was in the hospital last year for a week and then a then two weeks about a month later before they found out the cause of her pain. The hulls are not digested and get caught in little pouches of sacs in the colon causing the pain. At least that is the way the doctor explained it to her.

Chris;

I didn't mean to imply that surgery was the best treatment. For me it was. The pain comes from the inflammation that seems to chronically occur, and is hard to stop. The MD's treated me for 5 years medically until the inflammation/infection got into one of the submucosal layers of the colon. Then I was in danger of getting perforated and they decided to operate. They were just gonna remove 8" but because the infection had spread, they had to remove 16".

The older we get the more diverticuli we develop. Most everyone gets them over the years. It doesn't always get to the inflammed or infected stage, but when it does the pain can be intense.

Good Morning from Tipton IN !

 

[tompm]

Good morning folks

It is a crisp 55 F as I type. No work today since it is Columbus Day. The kids have school, however.

We had an extremely busy weekend dedicated to Cub Scout Popcorn. We ran four set-ups at three locations from 8 AM to 4 PM, and another one on Sunday. It was worth all the trouble as we sold just under $1500.00. It was our pack’s best weekend ever.

I had hoped to do some train running but on Saturday night the kids decided that they wanted to go to a fair at a local church. That killed the last bit of free time I would have had. Well, there is always the evening this week.

I hope everybody has a good day.
