    Come on back to the caboose and get a cup of coffee [or sweet ice tea] - Part VII

    Nip it, Jeffrey - be careful! Thanks guys - I was running the TMCC with the left hand and the camera with the right. I need to dial in my TMCC better so I can get more slow/low gear - this is my first real TMCC locomotive. Otherwise, I have been using a tpc400 to run my conventionals or MTH...

    Hang tough, CSX - diets suck. Jeffrey, looks like some work there. It's 27 degrees here in St. Louis, but no trains on my horizon today as we are going to a funeral today. John - that looks like a nice diesel locomotive! I've seen a lot of pics of them running the other way too. Hey...

    It's 36 degrees here in St. Louis and just chilling out. I guess I'll go play in the basement in a little while, then play some video games with my son, and then we're going to my folks' house for dinner. That should about do it! Had a fender bender yesterday, a guy hit my rear bumper at a...

    Howdy folks - 61 degrees in St. Louis and the sun was going down when I drove home at about 5. Oh well, it's that time again I guess. Tired to death of politics - glad tomorrow is it for a while. Contractor is coming to fix siding on Wednesday. Somebody shot paintballs at the front porch...

    Wasted the whole day putting up one light fixture. It does look good. The laundry room is a little too bright now, might try taking out two bulbs per wife... We'll see! Didn't get anything else done though.

    Chief, if you want to pick up walnuts, stop by any time - tons of them back there. I need to get a big bucket and let some set up for stain one of these days. I'm not sure what you use to thin it out with, some kind of oil I guess? Old timers used kerosene to stain wood. John - sorry, saw...

    Found them - that's weird that you have to put them in the comments? Looking good. I have no idea about that loco - any marks on the bottom? I would send the pics to John (jefelectric) and see if he or the other tinplate guys can place it for you!

    CSX - I don't see pics? Do I have to join or something? Yeah, Chewy is good little dog, hope she gets over this soon. Had a bomb threat at work so me and about 500 other government employees got to stand around outside for 1.5 hours while they searched the building. I heard they know who...

    Yeah, CTT is shorting out or something? Went to dentist today - no cavities (except the one between my ears). That's hilarious - satellite reciever, lol! Hey, they left my new locomotive on the porch - I guess on Tuesday? Found it this morning. No bell, no knock... :( It's fine though...

    Hang in there man! No locomotive again today. I did get a couple books I ordered way back when - a present from the past! Chewy has a cone collar on to stop her from chewing her rear end and legs, she was actually bleeding last night. Vet now says it's not allergies, but dry skin. No sign...
