Morning all. Only 59 degrees and going into the 70's today. :thumb: A lot colder tomorrow and Sunday. :cry: Maybe next week too but I go to Orlando on Thursday. Have a good one and God bless all.

 

[Gil Finn]

But where are you today? Inquiring minds want to know?

 

[wrmcclellan]

Morning all!

Got some much needed rain this morning. The kind that is gentle and constant and soaks in. Cooler though.

Glad the Chief is safely back in REBS territory.

Spanky - nice photos the last three days. The one from 2-1-06 was especially good!

Going on an overnight trip to Houston tomorrow. My little brother;s 50th B-Day. Sister is throwing a surprise party for him. He has had a rough 5 years and things are looking up for him with new job (food service business) managing food services for HP campus (former Compaq).

Have a great one all. May not be checking in again until next week.

Regards,
Roy

Spanky, nice job on those two coaling towers, both the Backman and the Lionel.

Look for the OGR table at the Parma Show and tell'em I said "Hey Now".

 

[Chief Eagles]

Morning all. Rainy and warm. Will clean out floor of walkin attic. No helping buddy build his greenhouse as rain. Would also rip plywood to finish walkin walls but too rainy. Want to use the new tablesaw I bought. Now I can rip 2X4's down to 2X2's and 1X4's. Big change in weather tomorrow. 50 and windy. Have a good one.

WE pick up about 8" and the forcast is for 6" to 10" more lake effect.

Morning all. Sunny but cooler. Nice train of tank cars carrying lots of oil North to heat those houses in all of the cold and SNOW. hamr Installing some picture down lights for wife in livingroom. If we don't work on greenhouse for buddy, I'll do some walkin attic walling. Have a good one and God bless all.

 

[Buckeye........]

Why are the photos so much clearer on this forum than on CTT? Is it the blue background.

How was the train show?

 

[spankybird]

Buckeye, I think its the way CTT compresses the pic to 400 pic. If you compare the enlarge pics to this forum, I think they are about the same


The Sun is shining now, but looking north over the lake, it is very dark clouds. Just a slite wind change and we will be digging out again. wall1

 

[Gil Finn]

Have you a lake view?

 

[spankybird]

Gil - not really, about 3/4 miles south of the shore line.

wow, the 65th page!...and yet my first post here.... well here I am! I've been following that webcam since saturday...looks like all they have down now is the encyclopedias to hold the benchwork in place! ops: stooges8 goldtoth1

 

[wrmcclellan]

Evening all!

Spanky - some really good photos. I think I am going to have to get another digital camera. My Canon worls great fpr most stuff, but not close train photos. My friends clunker Kodak does better than mine!

Cooler here. Only hit 57 today. At least a little bit of Texas level winter.

Some pics from the club layout this past week. The NYC 4-4-0 is mine.

Have a great one all!

Nice azela is it yours?

I have been reading a lot about it.

I am ready to purchase some 48 " fast track, anyone have a heads up on the cheapest folks to deal with?

 

[Chief Eagles]

Morning all. 39 degrees. Wow, lots colder than earlier this week. Found back the Yankee snow and nothing happened. No rain either. Just big clouds. Off to buddy's funeral today. Getting clothes ready to go to Orlando Bass Pro Shops. Got buddy's greenhouse framing done. Now to cover with fiberglass. Have a good one and God bless all.
