Spanky-- Thanks for the pics, that's a huge layout, I love it. Is that a private layout? The lash up looked great, thanks. Jon

Happy Day's Are Here Again (sing along), 7 hours until the Presidential hopefuls leave us alone and life returns to normal. The caucus process is interesting but once every four years is certainly enoough, the politicians have been here for well over a year preparing for tonight. "May I hold...

Ozzy-- When will you be in IA City? Keep me posted. Jon

Ozzy-- It's all O gauge, primarily MTH but with several Lionel and K Line structures and cars. It's our first permanent layout and I couldn't/didn't give it much attention until I retired. It was a team effort with my wife and it took about two years to complete, we rarely worked on it from...

Buckeye-- I guess his (selector) use of verbage just seemed so out of place and the timing of the post seemed odd. Maybe Bob K. will chime in during regular business hours tomorrow. Man oh man, Michigan is giving this game away, literally. I really don't care for either team but I care less...

I believe Selector is bogus, remember what Bob K. said about him last time? Me thinks Selector had been in the Mad Dog a bit too long :mrgreen:. Buckeye--no, I was not born in a barn but did originate in NW Iowa where 10 degrees would be considered quite nice :cool: Perhaps you are getting...

Happy New Year :thumb: Who left the freezer door open? It's 10 degrees out there and now the wind is picking up, I hate winter. Nice quiet evening here last night, almost made it to the bewitching hour, not quite:mrgreen: Woke up early this morning thinking about what I'd like to accomplish...

Welcome CSX, hope you like this board, it is much more relaxed and laid back-- a big relief IMO. I have both IE and Firefox and MUCH prefer Firefox, you might give it a try and see if that speeds things up. Jon

I well remember all the painful years I spent in the conservatory at Simpson College practicing etudes & solo's and listening to horrible recitals of my friends. In Iowa we call flower shops flower shops, or a botanical center or a greenhouse or an arboretum :mrgreen: Jon

Doug we are about two hours away from Caboose Stop, our oldest son and his family live in Cedar Falls, we try and visit when we can.

Ozzy--I would bet the farm that you ride an HD, right? That would explain why you use the red :mrgreen: Jon

Brutus-- Nice pic of Thomas, that's the one we have here for our granddaughter, she like to take the tops off of the passenger cars and take people for a ride. They are the old Fischer Price people her Dad and Uncle played with :) Sure glad we saved them. Dr. John--I think your GPS will...

That was exciting, I took my wife's Camry into town (1.7 miles) to get the oil changed as she's off until Jan. 2, I'm fed up with going to the Toyota dealership in Des Moines plus it's $5.00 cheaper here. We have a steep gravel driveway so it took me two trys and 1/2 bucket of sand to get the...

Oz--hang in there man, going to Iowa City is the best idea yet, those folks know their art. Keep up posted, I'll come over and pay you a visit if it you want. Jon

Dr. John-- You will really enjoy your new GPS. I bought one 2 1/2 years ago after an EXTREMELY frustrating experience that I had no control over, never again. When we traveled to York a year ago I preloaded all of our destinations, it was simply fantastic. Ozzy--a good friend of mine, Bill...

Nice day here just puttering around and catching up. Huge 5:00 church service, kinda noisy and disjointed, too many CEO's (Christmas/Easter only) but still worth going to. We used to always hang in there for the mid night service but those days are long gone. Ozzy--we live just west of Des...

Good Morning from the Heartlands! Our Christmas Celebration is nearly over. Our oldest son and family arrived Friday night so we had an early Christmas on Saturday and Sunday as our our youngest son also arrived on Friday. That really worked out well for everyone as they needed to travel today...

Tom-- I would also be interested in info on the helicopter, looks cool:thumb: Jon

Good Morning from Happyville where it's a warm 31 and going to 38:thumb: I hope we can get rid of some of this ice. I haven't seen my wife this happy in a long time, two more days of work for her in '07 and then she's off until Jan. 2. Really looking forward to tomorrow night when the kids...

Good Morning from The Heartlands, Tom--I would gladly share some of our white so you could enjoy a white Christmas:cool: More often than not we do not have a white Christmas, always kind of disappointing but it looks like this year will be extremely white. I'm going to take the blade off the...
