P.S. Meant to say: When I come downstairs with my hair like ROD"s -- my wife tells me--
Do not sit down until you go and comb your hair!

Joe - It's like a former mayor of Chicago once said, "Never let a crisis go to waste.". . .
CNBC this afternoon, released a news item about Pfizer's very successful test for an anti-viral pill. The writer of the article, seemed upset, that the second series of trials showed a high degree, (90%), of success, and was further dismayed that no one involved died of Covid during or after the trial...Perhaps, I read it wrong, but I get the impressions that some i the media don't want this story to go away. Just me musing.

Sherrel: Some days, I resemble that. My sons are vaxed. One was almost first on line to get it hen available, the other...had to get himself Covid first...but reluctantly got vaxed with two shots. He needs a booster, everyone else has the booster.Do not sit down until you go and comb your hair
And the glitter bomb guy is back with ver 4.0 this year...

My fav is the guy who goes to the pawn shop
I'll do that asap. Thanks for your help.Christian- Check the connections between the power pack and track.
Both of the L shaped plans look good.
Well said LouisPolitics, nope can't talk about, watch it or listen to it. Thank God for all the Christmas music on the radio and streaming.
Why bother with something I have so very little influence on? I'll vote and leave it at that. I do trust in our democracy. What a blessing to be born in the greatest country civilization has ever known. I went from a kid with an empty belly and empty refrigerator to being "fat and happy" living like a king, in my mind. I love America! You want something, work for it!
My advice, focus on the things you can influence or that make you happy. Avoid all the other stuff that just makes us crazy.
Have a great day Everybody!
Thanks! The whole layout has been improved since those pics were taken. Sadly, the guy who did the great oil field work recently passed away after a short bout with Leukemia. He was an amazing modeler and built nearly everything from scratch.Oil Belt KEN -- I liked the photo tour especially the refinery tower trucking spread. Nice touch on the drilling rig too!
I grew up in an oil patch, so I like seeing things like that - not normally seen on a train layout.
I think that Trucker DAVE will like that too?
I grew up two blocks from an oil refinery. My dad worked there and we still have some of the highest gas prices around. That's partially due to whatever bizarre formula they use to determine gas prices in a town and even more to do with the absurdly high gasoline taxes we pay in this state. Fortunately, I work just across the border in Indiana and prices there a little better, although still absurdly high.doing some calculations I come up with: $2.75 (US) for 3.8 liters - I pay $1.31 (CAN) per liter = $4.98 (CAN) or $3.86 (US) for 3.8 liters
I live 25 miles from where the d_ _ n stuff is made!
So Tom you're from Wisconsin, you know of Hiawatha Hobbies in Pewaukee, WI? I tried to buy another 50 feet of Micro Engineering code 83 weathered track and they're the only train hobby store in the US that had some. It was also $12.00 a box of 6 cheaper then anywhere else if they had it. They seem to have a lot of stock. GeorgeAlmost midnight here in breezey So. Central Wisconsin where it hit 67f degrees a new record by 15. Consistent winds running 15-25mph all day till 6pm. Speeds moved up to a consistent 35mph with gusts 50-60mph. It has been an interesting day weather wise. A bit of rain about 9pm tonight and I am not sure what’s going on out 5here now. I can actually hear the wind, it is that strong. We are to drop 10 degrees in temperature starting around 3 when the winds diminish back to the 15-25. 62f degrees at almost midnight in Wisconsin in December. Climate change discussions? I think not as more dangerous then religion, political and sex discussions.
Trains, I spent maybe 30 minutes in a couple visits to the train room today.
Not sure what I want to accomplish tomorrow but will worry then, not now.
Because i can hear the wind the windows need to have the weatherstripping replaced.

George walking into Hiawatha is like being in a candy store for model train guys. Greg, lives just a few miles from there.So Tom you're from Wisconsin, you know of Hiawatha Hobbies in Pewaukee, WI?
