Why would you want to cover your sound decoder with a piece of stovetop metal?
Sherrel: What are you talking about? . BTW: Do you have a time for the surgery yet?

Good morning. 52 degrees with overcast skies with a chance of rain.
Willie - As time passes, the vehicles in the layout will collect dust. That's about as far as I will go. When I croak, my family might get a bit more for them is they aren't weathered.
Louis - I like your attitude with the kids. They may have lost, but the other team really had to work hard to beat them.
I guess I am going to open my mouth and stick my foot in it. For the fool who said he had enough locomotives, I just ordered one. I did a lot of looking and was trying to find a Northern Pacific F-7 that I could run at the club in Livingston that was a DCC locomotive. The only F unit I could find was a FP-7 which had the wrong number. The Northern Pacific only had 2 FP-7's and they were number 6600 and 6601. All the rest of their F units were F-7's. Also, it was painted in the Modern Lowey paint scheme and I was looking for something for pulling freight trains. Finally after a lot of looking I found this Atlas Gold RS-1 with DCC and sound.
View attachment 61931 Having had excellent experience with Atlas locomotives and also that I really like Alcos, I thought I would give it a try.
If anyone has any experience with the Atlas RS-1 with SCC and ESU LocSound, let me know what you think of them.
Later.
Louis - Sorry to hear of the back to back losses for the team. I know how hard that you worked with them.

Good morning all, 65 and some light drizzle off and on.
We had a real estate closing sold one acre of my Moms land to a brother. It went good, he is a little miffed about having to buy it but we have to follow the lawyers instructions on everything.
No longer sore below the neck, will be working on the depot some today.

Below is work in progress for my bridge project. .... I just started running trains over the bridges. So far an SD7 and a GP7 are the only locos that crossed over the bridges. .... From left to right are a 17" truss bridge, a 210 scale feet steel trestle (viaduct) with a curve, a 9" truss bridge, about 18" of track over wood with curve (Scenery will be added), and a 20" truss bridge. ..... Total distance is about 8'..... I built all of the background scenes before building the bridges because I would not be able to reach over bridges very easily.
Much more work remains.
Interesting turn of events may be on the horizon.
The admin of this place has told my Dad to tell me NO MORE BEER!
I guess he's one of those chicken-shits who can't talk to the offending party directly.
Anyway, he claims I walked out on the highway and almost got hit.
What a bunch of BS. Now Dad got on my ass and my brother's ass about to not bring any more beer out here to me.
A violation of this new edict means I'm likely to be evicted.
Today Bill came to get to do some running around. One of the first things he mentioned was to take over the apartment he just had. it's one of Dad's apts. and costs only $450 which is nearly 1/3 the price of place. I'm considering it. Bill had some work to finish up at Dad's after he dropped me back off so I told him to tell Dad that I'm interested in doing that.
I don't need some tyrant kid administrator telling me I can't drink. I don't know what the problem is really. I never was in the highway at all. I was close by no doubt but not in the travel-way at all. And.... how does he know/think I was drunk? Even though I can put down a beer through this g-tube it doesn't mean I get drunk - in fact I have not.
So where he gets his connections is in his own imagination.
I think moving to Dad's apartment would be a good idea. There is an attached garage where I can do all the board cutting I need to do without worrying about waking anyone.
I have an appointment with a Dr. in Champaign [IL] with an ENT reconstruction specialist Monday at 1300 to see about fixing me up enough to be able to eat and drink like a regular person once again.
Back to model building!!!!

Surgery is set Monday morning .. They want me there at 5:30 AM!
WE will drive up that morning leaving here around 3:00 AM?
I pray the Doctors are awake and they had a good nights sleep.
They have mentioned another procedure Tuesday morning - I assume to "block off" one of the artery's that they are replacing with the run-around pipe they are installing on Monday? I don't think this is hard cast - guess they want to see how I fare?
Oh. Sort of like calling someone a putz instead of a dick.Bleach -- From the Yiddish word blekh meaning to cover the burners on the stove with a piece of metal so they would not be used on the Shabbat. (Short version) LOL.
What will you eat first?
Personally, I think mac-n-cheese casserole would be a good initial choice, then move up from there.Gosh.... I've been thinking about that for a long time!
We shouldn't jump the gun to think I will be able to become normal once again.
So I'm cautiously optimistic about that deal.
I had a dream last night about eating garlic bread and chocolate chip cookies.
I woke up starving so I poored some of these drinks down my g-trube. It just ain't the same.

But that's just me...
Are you using your new toy yet, or do the Geeks have it?With just a little 91%, or better, ground beef added to it!
LOUIS .. A little apprehensive going in, but still thinking positive. I loved that movie .. Hell, I love anything Clint did anyway. He's right there next to Marion Morrison!

In addition to visiting Sherrel, you can take in the Orange Empire Railroad Museum, as well as the aerospace museum just down the road.For some reason, I thought Temecula was in northern California. I could stop in there on the way to my niece's house in Vista. Probably be around the 4th of August.
