    Tried to post earlier, but lost connection - been happening a lot at about the same time every night, so I think it is a neighbor's wireless phone maybe?

    56 degrees in St. Louis. Jeffrey, your progress is great and that DCC system looks very cool! John, I always wanted a pond, but on my hill it's not really possible. Great news today - my wife got a big promotion she basically earned a couple of years ago, but the money finally came along for...

    Sounds like a good haul, Jeffrey. Nice scenery again! I pulled a muscle in my neck moving some metal shelf units. Oh well, it will get better. Need to run to Walmart for meds and stuff in a little while. I was going to work on the basement, but maybe just a little wiring later on - still...

    Went to eye doc and got a new prescription - $200 bucks gone for 4 exams and one pair of glasses for the family. They priced out a new script for my wife at $500. :( Oh well, it's just money I guess. Spent the rest of the day putting some metal shelf units together and bolting to a wall in...

    Hey Chief, speak up man! ;) Can you do dial-up from the cabin? Did you ever play around with that Ross switch? How did it work out? Nice pic, Jeffrey - glad you weren't in that accident! Sir James - I think I can hear them, they are lonely... "chooooooooo..... Choooooooooooo...

    Nice pics CSX and Jeffrey! Welcome home, SJ1! Nothing going on here in St. Louis. Had a busy day at work and now just chilling out watching tv with my son and checking the 'net. Need to start planning my next layout :)

    I've got that Bachman EZ DCC system from a brief flirtation with HO and it worked well for me. I've kept it along with a lot of track in hopes of putting some narrow gauge O trains on my layout eventually. We'll see!

    CSX - Killer Klowns is okay, but it's no Evil Dead or Dead Alive (early Peter Jackson movie)! Banilla goes good with everything! Nice locomotive Jeffrey - I like the Rio Grande livery, personally.

    Couldn't get on yesterday or today until now and had to page through until the end of the thread - the last link didn't work. Weird. Had a great fishing trip with lots of fishing and fun with the guys. Ozzy, I hope your surgery went well and you are back with us soon and back to the trains...
