Marv's Neighbor

They remind me of the Hanson Bros, from Slap Shot.

Couple of months ago I was in the hospital for some routine day surgery. As I'm waiting to be moved to the OR, I overheard a person, other side of the curtain, talking about Buffalo. It was one of the nurses, and after she finished with her patient, I had my wife get her attention. Turns out she's from Buffalo, and her Mother was one of the original Buffalo Jills, from Rockpile days. It's too bad we don't have the Jills now, during one of our rare seasons where we actually have something to cheer about.

I would add Fatso by Arthur Donovan Jr. It's not about the BILLS but the NFL when he played 50-60's. The guy is very funny and a good story teller.

The BILLS game will be on in Richmond VA this Sunday, and next week the Steelers game is moved to Sunday night, so life is good!.

Is that you Ralph?

FEDEX is more reliable.

Always trust the EXPERTS!

He may already have the Robert Kraft version.

This should be in the form of a question. A very long question.

Florida = God's waiting room, so the odds may be better there.

Lionel taught me a lot about electricity. If you run more than one old transformer, you have to be aware of phasing. There were no polarized plugs then. Use of a power strip can solve that. Lionel's are all AC, Most HO & G gauge are DC. DC is better but you don't always have a choice when running old trains. My wife has an LGB G scale train around the tree. No sparks, no warm track, no carpet burns. Very hands off, safe, worry free operation.

Lionel was very big before and after WWII. Erie didn't merge with DL&W till 1960, and by then Lionel was in a slow decline. EL started in 1960-61. So you will find mostly Lackawanna and some Erie from the 50's. Lionel couldn't make the transition into kid's interest in the Space Program. The were bankrupt then eventually emerged as a strong company thanks to Richard Kughn, who bought Madison Hardware in NYC, when they closed.

Lionel really didn't make very much Erie. You can look on EBAY, and specify Erie. If you see something you like, record the number(s) and price, and do some comparison shopping. There some Erie cars made by various O Gauge manufacturers such as MTH, Weaver, even some newer Lionel. Lionel was based in N NJ, so they did much more Lackawanna RR than Erie. What I have/operate is old. Now they have more hi-tech stuff that can be controlled by a separate walk around controller and even a cell phone. It can be expensive, and it's too late for me to consider changing over, but there are a lot of more detailed engines and cars now, compared to when I was buying.

Still running the Lionel's from the late 40's early 50's. They were made to last!

If anybody offers you Kool-Aid, just say NO Thanks!

I knew there was a reason why the BILLS are doing so well this season. Does Jupiter = the Process?

Can't believe this! Losing game(s) is NEVER any type of rational strategy.

We be in OP for a very long time which = the full amortization of all the existing bonds.

Anybody dumb enough to go out into that sh*t storm deserves anything that happens.

They're both good but Josh happens to play for a better team.

It was a great game and win BUT Had to watch a lot with the sound off because the announcers were so biased against us. I get it with Romo but way too much; "well Dallas only needs 16 points to win," etc. made it really hard to listen to. Hope they both choked on their giblets!

Merry Christmas to all!

As an old conservative it's apparent to see that you are the one who lacks perspective.

Wouldn't work in Seattle. 10 months of drizzle and fog. End up with a rusty taint!

Is it new or did all the stains come out?
