Good Morning from sunny Southern Ohio,

Suppose to get up into the 70’sF today, which will be good because we plan on the re-paint of the fender and bumper on the Civic today.

I’m done preparing the surfaces and have most of the masking done.  I’ll be glad to get this done.  My bride scraped the garage door again with the van when parking it.  Thank goodness for plastic bumpers.  This is now the 4th or 5th time.  I’m running out of paint to buff out.  I’m toying with the idea of changing out the 9 foot wide door to a 16 foot.  Maybe that will help. Whistling

I go for my pre-employment physical tomorrow morning for the new job.  That should not be an issue, then my start date is 4/11/16.

 

Looking forward to that!  I was talking to a friend who is a contract assessor and he said there is a lot of work to do in the department

I was hired into.  

 

Got to go

May God bless,

Jim

Hola Dudes & Dudettes !

What a busy weekend, Friday and Saturday at the museum then Easter Sunday family and extended family gathering. Only nine people this year since many of the extended family members were traveling far and wide to visit actual family. Difficult to cook for only nine when you kinda get used to cooking for a larger group, not so much portion wise but timing wise. One gets conditioned to being up before dawn to get things started but this year slept in. Thumbs Up

Had a couple of the Kid's Club engines drop out before we even got running. A lionel SD-60 locked up a gear box, think the worm gear broke, and the Railking Cab Forward lost it's chuff, gonna try a reset to see if that helps. Just need to find some time, and more importantly, energy to work on them.

Anybody hungry for a sub sandwich today, at Jersey Mikes all of today's receipts go to local charities. San Diego county stores go to Rady's Chidren's Hospital . Bow  Dinner The BetterHalf and I will be having dinner from them tonight, just won't tell my cardiologist when I see him this morning.

Gotta get moving.

Prayers for all in need .

Later !

Evening all!

Rain here today on and off. Some storms in area but none here and nothing serious (at this time) with the next wave coming later this evening. Rain was good for the yard but overall not enough to run off. 70's this week Yes

Good afternoon all,

After a tough night taking care of my wife, The doctor called today and wants to admit her to the hospital as soon as they get a bed.  Either today or tomorrow.  It will be welcome relief for both of us.

Ray, your a good man and my GOD bless you. I had always planned on my wife being my caregiver. Who knows?? Hang in there. It will all work out if you just let go and let the higher level deal with it. JMHO.

Good evening all,

Posting on wife's tablet while traveling is an evercise in frustration.  Had a nice road trip on Indiana 1 to Fort Wayne.  Spent the day Tuesday seeing many places there.  I highly recommend stopping by Phil's Hobby Shop while there.  Very helpful people there.  Came back today on Indiana 9.  Two detours and a missed turn seemed to keep off 9 more than on it.  Still a nice drive and got back in time to mow the yard before the weather turns bad.  Going to Evansville Friday and Saturday.   I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Aloha. Just one storm after another today. Got a quick walk in with the dog and even got the grocery shopping done between downpours. Youngest is off to the movies with his g'pa - and I have a dentist appointment later today. Hang in there, Ray. Prayers for the right decision. Now to clean some bathrooms Smile
