Tom - good to hear they are calling you back and they know the wages. Chief - welcome back! Good to see you survived. Big cold front rolling through the nawth now that you have safely crossed the MD! train97 Cloudy today. Possible, but unlikely, for some light rain. Cold front here will...

Evening Gents! Beautiful day here today. Sunny and 70's. Need more rain. Tom, glad to hear the interview went well! Hope it goes just as well for round #2! Buckeye - just what kind of fire is that anyway? Who's the guy in the chemical suit??? Gil - Again - sorry for your losses on...

Gil, Good to see some good stuff survived! You do good work! Tom- good luck on the interview tomorrow. I agree with Dave - when I have been thrown out - things ended up better than before. Everything happens for a reason. A good attitude is the key. I let a bad attitude influence me once...

Hey Tom, Sorry to hear about the job. That stinks. Glad to hear you are already starting to interview. As my wife says, things usually turn out for the best. You will bounce back from this and things will be even better. Your good attitude will carry you far. Best wishes, Roy

Still watering the house. We need rain bad. It would be nice if I could grow a nice addition for a larger train room! Looks like the Astros's are going down in 4. Guess one has to wait at least 70 -80 years for a World series victory. At least they made it to the Series in my lifetime! Have...

Gil, Good luck on your project. Your friend is in our prayers. Check back in sometime! Beautiful day here in N. Texas. High 60's and very sunny. Had second class of Robotics today for the 5th and 6th graders I volunteer for and teach after school once a week. Good crew of kids. The...

Evening all! Had a busy day tending to the wife after her surgery yesterday. Recovery is slow and she hurts. Spanky - your photo from this morning is magnificent! Great composition! All the talk about shovels earlier makes me think one is needed here to dig out if you know what I mean...

Afternoon all, Another beautiful day here, although temps are headed for high 80's, maybe even 90. We need some rain here pretty seriously. Gas had gone down a bit, but not as much as what I am hearing up north. Watching the Cowboys and Giants. Should be a good game today. Have a great day...

Good afternoon all! Absolutely beautiful day here. 80 and sunny with a cool breeze. This is the best time of the year in Nawth Taxus. My funeral trip to Houston went well. Had a strange drive on I-45 - absolutely no traffic. Nice photos folks. Sorry I missed the chat. Since I was out for a...

Gill, Regarding "This forum has gone to the dogs, I was afraid of that." That's a dog-gone shame.

Morning all! Great photos of good times past! Finally cooled off here. 64 and dropping. Got electric bill - ouch - avg temp for past month was 95 vs the same period last yeat at 89. So guess what - bill was substantially higher also. The local utility has asked for a 24% rate hike! Causing...

Morning all, Ray, I made a slight mistake. That wig wag is a Colber model. I got Korber and Colber mixed up. Spanky, my wife has just recovered from a lower back spasm that laid her out for about a week. Her doctor was out of town and the on call doc would not renew the previous prescription...

Ray - I think that wig wag you are asking about is a Korber model, but I could be wrong. CTT did a nice article several years ago about the various Korber models. I have too much stuff piled up in the way to dig it out. I know that same unit has been pictured in CTT. I am not sure what you...

Evening all! Journeyman, thanks for the welcome. I obtained a set of the IR log cars earlier this year in York. Wish I had bought another set. Looks great behind the MTH Climax. IR made some really nice and well decorated 027 stuff. I am sorry they are gone. Another busy day today. Had a...

OK, We have an engineer (Buckeye), a conductor (Chief), and a brakeman (cnw). This means I get to RIDE :cool:

Well I have had a very busy day. Had to replace a failed fill valve assembly for the toilet in my son and daughters bathroom. It only lasted about 15 years or so. I had a spare unit. It was made by Hunter (the fan folks) and is the best valve I have ever seen. Quiet too. But alas, it is no...

Hey Chief! I hope my caboose is only open when I need it to be!
