Eric must just shake his head when he ships these things off to the winner. Good for him.
There is a reason it is called an "English Breakfast" and not an "American Breakfast" or "Wisconsin Breakfast"™
I could see refried beans with eggs/onions/mushrooms scrambled. However with about a hundred types of beans and prep methods this is a curiosity to me
I like "cowboy beans" for breakfast for sure! Nothing like that with ham and or bacon with eggs! Yupper!

Good morning,
Huge buck passed in front of me on the highway this morning, I hit the brakes and missed him, ... a little later it was a small racoon facing off against the mighty Suburban, I swerved a couple inches and missed him by less. Lots of excitement before 7 am!
It is 36° and cloudy
Smudge - here in the States we are short on home health workers as well. Their pay is small and the requirements can be very demanding, or should I say some of the clients (unwell people) can be demanding. My wife did that job as well as many other care jobs so I have heard lots of first hand accounts.
James - hope the big sister gets in somewhere SOONER than Nov. 14
Patrick - I don't think you would have any problem scraping off any ballast that may be in the way and vacuuming it up
I had some switching action on the layout last night, thinking about putting out my transition era rolling stock this weekend, or at least rotate out some of my rolling stock.
more later, Dave LASM

Good morning from chilled at 38f So. Central Wisconsin where it feels like 30.
Too much time in the train room yesterday with all but 1 hour when in there at the paint bench. Today, I will be done by lunch and won’t go back again to the bench till tomorrow. This afternoon I will install, I hope, the fence for the Transload facility.
The weathering progress on the 5 Centerbeam cars and a discussion on you tube content is in my Continous weathering…posts.
Volleyball on campus this evening, so a nice left over rib eye sliced up in a ciabatta bun for dinner tonight with what’s left fro last night’s grilled Brussels spouts.
Enjoy the day

That reads as a great breakfast except for the beans! I would take a diet Dr Pepper over the tea but IMO anything is better then coffee.

James, you were right on 600+, it was $618 when I just looked. Well, if you feel you have to have it money is no object.As of 10-25-2022.........11:00 PM EST the bid is over $600 bucks.....606.07 to be exact......
Utah Belt Athearn Genesis HO SD70ACe #4359 Non-DCC | eBay
Utah Belt #4359 is an Athearn Genesis HO SD70ACe. It is a very smooth runner. It is NOT DCC EQUIPPED. Upper front headlight and ditch lights are directionally controlled, the rest are non-functional. It has Details West Metal MU hoses, Tichy Train Group metal grab-irons, Detail Associates...www.ebay.com
Well TomO as I said before it will crack past 600 dollars......
With 4 days to go I now say it will reach $1,000.00 that is my final prediction.

I made some changes in the plumping and got everything soldered up. Now I'm putting back a plywood in the closet wall so I can get in there again if I have to.

Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. Clear here and 46°. Should be a repeat of yesterday except with no wind, lower 70's for the high. They still have rain in the forecast again for Thursday night through Saturday morning. Right now the NWS is predicting 2".
Spent most of my time yesterday either doing chores in the house which I had been saving for an indoor day, or later in the afternoon clearing broken branch tips out of the yard. Seems that I have a lot of drought-starved trees and the wind was having an effect. All are about 2.5' long and a quarter inch in diameter. I could probably leave them and shred them when I mow, but the exercise and sunshine did me some good, since I did not walk my usual mile yesterday morning. I now have some additional fodder for the chipper/shredder that will eventually be part of the garden soil.
Vietnam was a happening thing while I was in high school and the first few years of college. Since Dad was a friend of Walter Cronkite, we had to watch him and Dan Rather discuss things every night. I had a 1-S deferment since I was in college during the time that I was eligible for the draft. I later dropped it as I was in the first draft lottery and drew #256. Funny that I distinctly remember that number. No one that I know then or now, who served over there would ever talk about it. Obviously bad memories. Soldiers returning home here were given the same horrid treatment as much of America at the time, but it didn't last long as folks locally began to realize that it wasn't their fault.
Thanks for the reactions and comments to the scene that I posted yesterday.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I caught up with reading the November Model Railroader that arrived three weeks ago while I was on vacation. It seems that I read more articles in this issue than I normally read. Afterwards, I ran trains again and tidied up a bit. I finished dusting off the remaining structures in the quarterly cleanup area.
Since I'm not really working on anything, how about a few shots from my town of Maultown on the upper level.
Guy - I think that most of us can relate to "the layout was a-lot bigger before it was built."
Louis - First the range fire and now the kitchen sink sprayer. No wonder you need two kitchens!
James - That sure is a drag about your sister's surgery. Keep us informed.
Everyone have a great day today.

Not sure how well silver solder will work on brass. I suspect that you would need an acid core solder for better results. I suspect that the new brass nipple was not the cause, what you were soldering it to was dirty. Shelf life of most fluxes are years. Note that silver solder paste has a 'use by date'. Just remember NOT to use any acid core flux or solder on electronic stuff.

Wow! I've just accidently deleted my entire post with comments, that I just spent 1/2hr typing out.
I don't have time to say it again, as the wife wants me to accompany her into the forest.
I'll just post a photo of the local trans-loader located in the CN staging area and be on my way.
I'll see ya'll on another day.

A full English breakfast or a "fry up" consists of Eggs, bacon,sausages,beans, (preferably Heinz) fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms black pudding (similar to bloodwurst) and toast, plus a mug of tea (or coffee), also known as a "Heart Attack waiting to happen".

I guess I totally forgot beans in the English breakfast. I remember I got a “proper” English breakfast at Ascot one year and it was huge but had mushrooms and tomatoes included. I don’t enjoy mushrooms so ate everything else and moved the mushrooms to the side. The server decided I didn’t enjoy the breakfast and told the chef. Chef came out, tiny man maybe 5’6”, thin and with very full loud voice. Asked me in front of 30+ guests why I didn’t finish my breakfast. Not happy with the fact I don’t enjoy mushrooms as per him every good proper breakfast has them!

When you say beans, I am wondering exactly what that means?A full English breakfast or a "fry up" consists of Eggs, bacon,sausages,beans, (preferably Heinz) fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms black pudding (similar to bloodwurst) and toast, plus a mug of tea (or coffee), also known as a "Heart Attack waiting to happen".
I could see refried beans with eggs/onions/mushrooms scrambled. However with about a hundred types of beans and prep methods this is a curiosity to me

Afternoon All,
Started out with my 2 mile walk. I just saw 2 rabbits and 2 raccoons, no deer.
Took the wife to Sams Club and walked another 2 miles and spent way too much money, but we did fill up the van for $3.03 there. Tomorrow will probably be taken up with the shower repair.
Smudge- My gut hurts just thinking about that breakfast (way too much food).
George- You could look at it as saving a butt ton of $$$ by doing it yourself.
Troy- I hit the jackpot several years ago on our train vacation (Blue Ridge RR, Steamtown, Strausburg, Altoona, and Horseshoe Curve). While we were at the Curve the NKP765 was doing an excursion across the curve. If that wasn't awesome enough it was double headed with the Pennsy heritage diesel. It was strickly luck I was there that day.
Dave- I believe it's pork & beans.
Terry- That Halloween photo is awesome.
Willie- Nice scenes.
Guy- Been there, done that, have the trophy. Geat 1:1 photo.
I hope everyone has a good night.

Good Afternoon All!
43F and overcast
Got the new spot for the RV started yesterday. Maybe more today if the temp gets to 50F. Until then ima installing the new ( to me ) servers for web, mail and stuff like that. Thanks Patrick for the BIOS update link! It is amazing how you *think* that you have all the files needed to get stuff back in operation. Still have both old servers, so I can go and get said files that are missing. More a PITA than anything. Also updating the backup app for those files. All the html stuff has been done along with the supporting files for the users. Need to do the mariaDB .sql stuff and then I can get back to web design of which I usually do early in the am. Of course, my honeydu list has grown more so the railroad stuff gets pushed out; probably will get to that when the snow flies!
