    Good afternoon. Brutus, heart goes out to you man. I have seen some mighty men brought to their knees with kidney stones. Better get better soon, you have a trip to make. Jon, I've been there for the tail end of bikeweek. Have a good time, but be careful, it is crazy! Dog certainly does...

    I will try this again...didn't work first go around. Checked the temp at home before coming in. At 0430, it was 17degrees! Way too cold for these parts. Had me thinking about when was the last time I had the coolant changed in the car. I made it, but still wonder. Don, great minds think...

    Finally home. Kids are watching ET. This is the new, re-release version. Spielberg and company took the guns out of the hands of the police and replaced them all with radios.....kind of rediculous, a bunch of cops, each with a radio in his hand. PC gone amuck. Hope to get plenty of rest...

    Sure am glad I went with Fastrack!:thumb: And for Frank53, I have plenty of Tubular for making a second layout that will have all the postwar accessories!:oops: On a more serious note, I have learned over the last few days that two of my good friends are not having to go back to Iraq. One is...

    Good Afternoon everyone. Hope all is well no matter what part of the world you are checking in from. Here for yet another emergency. Sometimes our emergencies take forever to get underway. Really disrupts a day. Don, with regard to tomorrow, why not work half a day? You can go in and...

    Good Afternoon everyone. getting ready to head out of here...and hopefully stay out till Monday! I have a favor to ask. If anyone has knowledge of where I can find a "Savannah and Atlanta GP35 high nose from Atlas #1113-1 or 1113-2", I am looking for one. They are from 2004 and were a low...

    Well, here's to a fresh pot! Chief, it's getting chilly out there. May need a little help getting the yankee horde out of these parts. Tom, great NYC caboose! Which one is it? I may actually have it, as I have so many that have never left the box. Soon, very soon, I hope to get the...

    Morning all, Got called in for yet another emergency. Finished up about 0630. This is taking a serious toll on my layout building process! Kurt, be carefull of all that "Toot-Toot" stuff, I believe it is the mating call of the elusive Northern Buckeye....A rather tenacious vermin...

    Jon, You may want to invest in some hand warmers for your ATV. When I go hunting out in Colorado, they make it much more bearable. In real cold weather, you could cause damage to your hands if not kept warm. Brutus, we have had issues with "City water" where they had it shut down for a day...

    Laz, In one of the question/answer pages in a magazine (not sure CTT or OGR), they suggest getting fluid specifically for the Slueth units. I am not aware of the mixes others have done, but I certainly trust the ones who have suggested LBG and the experience trumps all else. Got some UQ...

    Ended up being a long day. Another emergency case. Anyway, I heard on the radio that our wonderful congress who can't seem to find their way out of a paper sack have not done any meaningful work since the election (other than calling the other side nasty names), well, they have finally done...

    Good evening. Called in for an emergency. I hope to get some sleep. If I spent half the time on my layout as I do covering emergencies, I'd have it done and running by now. I am really looking forward to the Orlando trip about this hour. Hope everyone has a good night. Figure the only one...

    Laz, From my old school days, it was always the girls who had the roughest fights. We may punch and wrestle, but they would gouge, claw, rip, scrape, kick, and anything else. Let you know which ladies to stay away from. Not much going on today. Big case in the morning, but it is not...

    Morning Y'all, had a restless night last night and am lucky in that I got to sleep a little later than usual...I'm on call, so hopefully they won't beat me up this week. Was reading the January OGR and they had a article on building 3D scenery similar to a project I plan on at the back of my...

    Was a good night service tonight. I worked up in video control during service, so I had the cushy chair. A quick story I posted elsewhere today. Yesterday morning, about 4am, my 5 year old came into the bed between my wife and I and was facing me, snuggled up and playing with my hair till he...

    John, thanks for all the tips on the doll house. I have the foundation all glued and will paint prior to any more construction. The instructions warn against painting on surfaces to be glued....did you just leave these areas clear? Jon, thanks for the thoughts on the Odysee. We have a truck...

    Well, it is official, I started on the doll house. Did the foundation tonight. I could have done more, but with the help of my 3 and 5 year olds, I figured it best not to get into too many parts at one time. RT, Like the list. As you say, real simple isn't it? Took the car in to get it...

    Sad news Doug. I have had things like that happen. Causes one to take pause and reflect. Hope his family is doing OK. Ordered some UQ signals from Z-Stuff for the layout. A little birthday present to myself. Wife picked something up for me too, but I haven't seen it yet. May God meet you...
