Morning all. Grey and cool here - what a surprise. Got the MTH water column - and resisted buying a whole lot more - yesterday. It's really a little gem - I didn't know it moved around so and is adjustable. Will have to pick a spot to install. Gas was 4.17 yesterday - 4.21 today... :(

Morning all. 43 and sunny this morning. It's usually raining near Memorial Day - volunteered to serve as video director at church tonight - they're changing the mid-week services so this is one of my last chances to play. Go get those fish, Brutus! CSX, are those paper buildings in (roughly) O...

Morning all - going to the symphony tonight with the bride after work - since it doesn't begin until 8 - that probably means I'll work late. Train went into emergency at 55 mph today on the way in. I hear the brakes go and then everything shudder to a long stop. Engineer talked to conductor on...

Morning all. Grey and cool today - maybe a little rain. A long day with class tonight. Good news about Chris' recovery. I love old Model railroading books too - just found a Annual from the 60s in my favorite Anglophile bookstore. Beautiful modelling. CSX, isn't it the other way around - the...

Morning all. Sunny but cool - left my coat in the car at the train station - regret it. New website cutover in an hour - wish me luck. :eek: Is mud dauber a fancy name for wasps or yellowjackets? I had some under the siding. They were nasty to get rid of... I like Chief's solution for the...

It's Iowa weather, John - Wow, 3 GB! Jon, I too laughed at the Cubs fans all bunded up - bet they didn't expect this sort of weather in mid-May.

Good morning from a sunny Chicago where it is only 38 but I have a cuppa hot joe. So glad you took care of that, Brutus. Great photo this morning, Jeffrey - like how well the backdrop fits. Sign of our local economy: not many out for dinner yesterday.

Happy Mother's Day - hope you are helping your mom or bride-who-is-a-mom enjoy it. Zealot doesn't like my version of IE so I haven't been able to visit lately. Had a good time outside Phoenix - what a different place - so desert-y. Daughter is grounded for a month or two or three. Glad you are...

Hello from O'Hare airport where it is raining and my flight is delayed - not eage r to get on the plane anyway as I am in a middle seat in the back unlike the Chief's big chair. LOL. Thanks, Brutus! Great find, Kurt. The bride is worried since our home connectivity went down ("Your area is...

Morning all. Sunny here - late night tonight with class and then readying for my rare biz trip to Carefree, Arizona tomorrow. Ozzy, praying for you. Kurt, LOL, when he said that, I nearly keeled over - I'm referring to a story about my youngest on my bride's blog.

Nice to chat with Don today. Hope to reflect on track spacing later.

Sounds tasty, Chief. Jeffrey's photo today looks like our skies yesterday. Beautiful sunny but cool this morning. Off to church then to read the paper, do the cross-word, sabbath around. Have a troublesome corner where two of the main lines are too close when I'm running James with the Express -...

Dang, IE 7 sure doesn't like Zealot. Hope you all are enjoying a good night!

Evening all. Prays for you and your family, Jeffrey. Nice work, Marcie, I started in N scale. Cleaning the basement up whilst the trains run. Roy, the daughter was dumped by her date too but hung out with her friends - I think she still had a good time. The date better not come 'round here no...
