JOE ... It's quite something too see. Rick is also very into WW1 and WW2 reinact ments and parades. He has a jeep and a Dodge command car that he restored. Awesome stuff!Sherrel: My magazine arrived yesterday, and I was paging through it this morning, and was about to bring it to your attention. Looks like a great model railroad.
SIL is away on training down in Florida .. Bummer! Won't be home for another week
Good evening. Still cloudy and damp although they are promising mild and sun the next couple of days.
Thanks to all who complemented my attempts at building a coal train. I have five more to complete this pike size coal train. .
Garry: Those Genesis Geeps look great. What caused you to have problems installing the decoder? (I have more than a couple Genesis Geeps that may need decoders sooner than later).
Willie: Nice store and fillin' station.
Sherrel: You're going to get a reputation for being a Walmart stalker...
For something different, and remotely rail related, the St. Lawrence Seaway is open!

This one is riding on ballast, on the St. Lawrence River at Alexandria Bay, NY, going for a load. Sure sign of Spring!
Yes, thank god A month ago the Shingle pain finally eased away. It was almost 10 full months of semi continuous, extreme, debilitating PAIN!
It appears there has been an upheaval at the club I used to belong to.
"Used to", because after emailing everybody I had an email for, for over a month, about discontinuing my membership and returning my key, I got a very--terse-- email from the new club president, informing me I had been kicked out for not paying my dues, and return my key immediately.
SMH...
I went to one of the board members' houses and dropped off my key (and shirts, hats, and anything else with the club logo), I gave him a copy of my emails to the president, and his response to me. Sometimes the wheels of justice turn swiftly. He had his ass handed to him by the director over the phone while I was there. Not that it matters to me at this point, but maybe he will be taught to use some couth.
