It's 67 and clear. The high will be around the mid 80's and it will be partly cloudy. Weather's getting like a broken record lately.
Yesterday I did another installation of a Digitrax DZ125 decoder on an Athearn BB F7 and took many photos as I went along. I then used these in a teaching post. It's a poor man's approach and doesn't make use of pc board or resistors or LED's. It's just a simple no frills installation. If somebody can learn from it and make their venture into DCC that much easier it will have served it's purpose. Right now it's only posted on one forum (not mine).

Good Morning Everyone ! HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY!! another nice day here on the Niagara Frontier high up around 77 and plenty of sun ! Also would like to wish all our Northern neighbors a HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!hope you all enjoy this day !!
The Finger Lakes weather is going to the same as Paul said also. Currently 59°F with a high of 76° and lots of sunshine this afternoon after some morning clouds move on. We are having a few days of fairly warm weather right now prior to having the first "killing" frost. Result? Probably will have to mow the lawn again, but may get a few more beans and squash out of the garden before I put it to bed for the Winter.
Tom sounds like you had a great day with the popcorn sales. I have a Pack committee meeting tonight. I will take my checkbook and see if they are still selling popcorn.... may get my years supply through them.
Hi all Chris sorry to hear about your wife . I have had problems with pockets on my Colon also. Mine was eating to many sunflower seeds . Spent to different times in the hospital with it . It doesn't help my transplanted kidney when it happens . I learned to stay away from any kind of seed also. Rye , fennel , poppy, caraway any kind that will get caught in the pockets !!On a side note this was our weather two years ago today !!!
Chris, hope your wife is feeling better. Diverticulitis is one of those problems that range from annoying to really disabling, as CJ described. I hope it's just the annyoing variety for your wife. I've been lucky all my life and never had any kind of stomach or other GI problems. I'm waiting to wake up one morning and have half my body explode.
Ray, I'd be exhausted from cooking 50 lbs of potatos too. What did you use all those for? I've never heard of salt potatos before.
Jeffrey, is your seminar posted across the street? I'd like to see it since I've got a bunch of old Athearn BB engines I need to convert too.
Paul, I'll bet your power was off for awhile with that storm. I remember those pre-Halloween storms in Cleveland when all the leaves were still on the trees ond how many broken limbs we'd have down everywhere. One more reason I don't regret leaving.
Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends in the frozen north. Columbus Day seems to be taking on less and less imporatnce here. About the only chnage is we don't get any mail.
Our weather has been distinctly odd the last five days. Low clouds all day with no rain and temperatures only in the 70's. We're getting a little sun this afternoon but this all reminds me of the gloomy days of fall in Cleveland except it's still a lot warmer here. Looks like the MIdwest could get a pretty good drenching from the remains of Hurricane Norbert but nothing will make its way here. There are a few tropical disturbances out in the Caribbean but they will just affect Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands before going north and dying. I think our hurricane season is just about winding down here. It's pretty amazing with how badly Texas and Louisiana got pounded this year that we got absolutely nothing from any of the storms except from TS Fay.
LOL thats a big pile of money tied up in the banking system as a whole, a black hole and to think throwing a few billion at it will fix it,,, not a cat in hell's chance. Paper currency is going to go right down the toilet pan i'm afraid, all you can do is sit back and enjoy the ride.
Thank you for your help and kind thoughts! They(Hospital) plan to scope her and see what's going on Last night was real hard for her........The pain was real bad She is in pain all the time, it seems to never end for her all we can do is pray for her speedy recovery. My son and I running amuck her with out her here......
Salt potatoes are a New York/Northeast thing. Actually started near Syracuse where there are some salt mines. You can read up on it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_potatoes
We didn't cook them in a strong brine as many of our members can't have a lot of salt. They are very tasty!
It's 72 and mostly cloudy. The high is expected to be in the mid 80's and there's a chance for rain, something my joints have been telling me since I got up.
Yesterday I suddenly remembered why I had stopped screwing the top back on my little container of paste flux. For some reason I had screwed the lid down after the last time I used it. Well, yesterday I tried opening it and the lid wouldn't budge! After getting two jar gripper pads from the kitchen drawer and 15 minutes of intense struggle, cursing and hand cramps I finally got it open. And here I thought it was hard to pry my fathers wallet open when I was a teenager. That's child's play compared to this. My hands still ache! Today's Weather for:

Good morning all from not so sunny ye olde London towne. Tis a cloudy day with highs of only 16c. (60f ish) Flo, forget the coffee just bring me several litres of pure espresso.
Not much happening on the modelling front. Awaiting my new train room/shed to be delivered. After preparing the ground we found part of the existing cement pad was unsuitable due to a nice 5cm (2") hump that was hidden under a lot of soil. This weekend will see the pouring of a levelling fillet of concrete over top to smooth things out. It seems to be a case of 2 steps forward one step back these days. Take care all.
Good Morning ALL ! Another nice day here in Western New York .I mean another warm day with temperatures around 71 but the clouds and some rain are coming in front of some cooler weather . Back to reality I guess. Ray ,I'll take an order of salt potatoes with lots of butter . Sure are tasty,with a nice beef on weck , loaded with horseradish,yum mo. I better get going . I'm making myself hungry. Hope you all have a real good day !!! In case your wondering .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef_on_weck
It was 58 F as I begrudgingly hit the roads this morning. High today will be 80 F.
I cut some branches off the tree in the front yard to keep it away from the house. I also cut off some dead branches. I did, however, get some train running in. I also organized a few things on the layout and did two photo sessions!
Today is crazy. My daughter has her first away volleyball game at Strath Haven Middle School. The trip will not be fun since it will require traveling some congested roads at the beginning of rush hour. She then has her flute lesson. We also have Cub Scout Roundtable. Then we found out last night that my son’s school’s open house is tonight. I love the amount of warning they give us; less than 24 hours.
Morning all!!
I just want to remind folks of the ARG gathering at the Irondale Cafe this Saturday.
There will be eatin and greetin!
Maybe a few trains, too.
Y'all come!
Mikey
Mikey wish I was closer. I'd be there! Actually, this Saturday I will be at the Lakeshores Division NMRA Meet presenting a clinic called "The Care and Feeding of the Tortoise".
Weather here in the Finger lakes is just as Paul said only a couple hours later...... Paul I got the brine boiling. Hope you like 'em salty!
Andrew at least when the shed is in place, it will be right. Those things do tend get the blood pressure up there though. Not too much of that espresso now......
I have a bunch of errands to do today, but I hope to get some real progress made on details on the SLOW.
Good Morning to Everyone,
It was a cool 42*F here in Coarsegold, Calif. this morning at 8:00, a bit on he cool side.
I've got a lot of clean up to do around here and haven't yet got around to getting my tractor going and I need that to hook the dump trailer on for hauling the trash to the dump pile way out back and down hill a bit. That 18 Hp Garden Tractor I bought shortly after Dad passed away in '89 sure has come in handy except at times like these.
I had a bit of a surprise yesterday evening as I was thinking of taking a picture or two of a gem of a little 0-6-0T HOn3 loco for the contest only to realize that was last month and I missed it I guess?
Yesterday I didn't get any work done on the layout like I planned so maybe today for a while?
Last night was real hard for her........The pain was real bad
She is in pain all the time, it seems to never end for her
