    Yep - good talk! Went to a pottery place where you paint the stuff yourself with the family, then we went to Hellboy II and finished with some White Castle burgers - yummy! Man, I'm falling asleep as I type, guess I got Chief's reclineritis? That card/block container looks very nice!

    Can't wait for those pics, Chief. Jeffrey, is that a "cardboard" model? Waiting for my turn at the shower, then going out with the Fam for a while for quality bonding time. Nice talking with Sir James this morning on the phone for a change! TTFN

    Mikey - I had to put on the side-discharge attachment, the grass was too high and wet. Rained yesterday and this morning, then was pretty warm and humid all day, but we have had so much rain I just couldn't wait any more. It just rained again, too! Need to do the back hill, but doing so when...

    Hey guys, it's 89 here and the yard is damp, but I can't take it - must MOW! It's really way too tall. I'll do the front and sides today and the back tomorrow, if it dries out more. Jeff - love that pic, Stephanie was glad it had a new happy home! Her Dad just displayed it for years and...

    Good luck with the power, Jeffrey! Picked up OGR at Borders today as well as the latest Ghost Rider graphic novel and some collectible Hellboy figures based on the books, not the movies. Abe looks a lot cooler in the books for some reason. CTT is late, so I guess that Homeland security is...

    Hey, great work on that baggage car and that old loco, glad you like it! Sounds like you did a real good job, glad it's running smooth now! I'll tell Steph, the lady who gave it to me. Her Dad passed and she wanted someone to have it that would enjoy it. Been busy busy busy and falling...

    Sir James and I think the prices are going up on ebay - usually this is the time to buy stuff as the prices are coming down? Looks like stuff is selling though. Oh well, shopping is 90 percent of the fun for me right now as I wait for Lionel to ship all my remaining preordered stuff at the...

    CSX - I actually thought about doing a planter garden this year up on the deck, but it gets a lot of sun, so don't know how well it would work.

    Hey Ozzy, I keep thinking that this year I'll plant a little garden, but kids and stuff get in the way. Maybe next year (again)! Chessie, sorry to hear about your loss. Too hot to do anything and still recouping from a knee injury last week, and the week before! Oh well, eventually it...

    Ozzy - I'm pretty sure that J class locomotives were used for freight. I agree on Rambo -- My wife loved the first 3 Rambo movies, but couldn't watch this one, too gorey! CSX - sounds like a good plan, can't wait to see pics of your table all together! Those were some nice pics, Jeffrey. Glad...

    Where's Jeff today? I got a mailing envelope at Walmart, so I'll get that HO locomotive in the mail soon. X-Files movie looks pretty good, but I want to see Batman first! CSX - hows that diet going, maintaining? I was wondering how particle board will hold up over time - are you worried...

    Jeffrey, glad you are okay! Nothing going on, just waiting for wife to get home from picking up son and mother-in-law from Amtrak station. Hope all have a great weekend and take good care of yourselves! TTFN

    :thumb: Great pics, Jeffrey! That would be a cool project, I think. Too hot to do anything. Went to dinner with family friends and ate way too much, just laying back with Chewy and watching some tv. No Old Mils in the fridge - or Sam Adams. :eek:

    Good news on the test, Chief! Doug, glad that your efforts were appreciated! Package arrived from TRAINZ - yeah, a bunch of preordered Halloween stuff! Now if I could only run my trains - everything is covered up to keep out the drywall dust right now :( Sir James, glad that doctor found what...

    Marcie - nothing, just some guys having a little fun with power tools! Jeff's granddaughter said this is "Pawpaw's biggest mess!" LOL Actually, we had to remove his old retaining wall and dug out so a we or a contractor can put in a new cement wall - depends on costs. Plus, he wants a pad...
