Enjoy June.

Aloha, Stormed during my walk to the train yesterday and again, this morning. It's a long-enough stroll that no matter how I dress, I end up getting wet. Ah well. Sending the rain off to points east!

Good morning all,
Quick post to make sure I am on the first page! I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

V8 Dennis, sorry you have so much to endure with the dental work. I feel your pain about toothless days when working on dentures. No fun! I'm trying to hang on to what I have left. Only about 10 original teeth left. All the rest are on dentures.

Sunny and 88 in beautiful south central PA. I am enjoying a few vacation days this week. When the week is over, I will have 3 days more to use before June 30. Spent some time outside getting rid of some poison ivy. That stuff is wicked. I carefully pulled some that were wrapped in a hosta that I want to save. The rest I sprayed.
Hoping to cut the lawn tonight after it cools off.
Take care,
Mitch

Good Evening from beautiful warm 89°F Southern Ohio,
Got in on the first page! Hard to believe it’s June. Going to be a busy month. Vacation, then into 4-H projects. Gotta get started on that chicken coop. Maybe this weekend.
Dennis – Sounds miserable. I’ve got all mine with only a few fillings. I have one that I chipped as a kid and has not degraded beyond being chipped.
May God bless
Jim
Oh BOY do I have dental stories! And you know what's strange about at least 99% of them? There's ALWAYS some kinda dental blow up right after I decide it's safe to expend some funds on trains! And the level of dental nonsense is directly proportional to the cost of the trains. I spent 400 dollars on a locomotive onece and a week later had an absess! This time, a 20 dollar boxcar led to a stainless steel crown lifting and me biting a hole through the center of it without even realizing what was going on! Still waiting for the dentist to find out wether or not it's covered since it was only installed last November.
Anyhoo. At least I have Medicaid these days rather than being broke all the time.

Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
V8 Dennis I'm joining you on the 15 I have the rest pulled except 2 to hold the bottoms in and then like 6 weeks later they will measure me for my new dentures. I have a top plate presently but now I'm going to be getting a bottom partial.
Well sold some trains today on the bay. Thats always nice lol. Did a lot of running around today.
Need to get my loose engines out and see what I have and what Tender goes with them. I'am still going thru trains I have forgot about or just haven't seen in who knows how long lol.
Anyway you all have a good evening and a fun thursday.
Good evening all !
Boy what a weekend ! Friday regular run day, Kid's Club on Saturday, followed by lots of KP on Sunday and last but not least a Kid's Club Fun Run on Monday. . Tuesday was a bit of a rest other than doing my laundry.
My cardiologist wasn't happy with the results from the med changes so he called this morning for me to come in today. Echocardio in the morning and angiogram next week. Stay tuned !
Banks, Prayers for your Mom.
Ray, Prayers going your way as well for the Mrs.
Chief, for the in-laws.
Eyes gettin kinda droopy, time to sign off.

Good evening all,
Good day at work. Good walk at noon. Had some rain on the way home and a traffic jam due to road construction, but I was not driving. Got our game in tonight, but I gave up 8 goals in a 11-0 loss. Maybe it is time to hang up the cleats..... Will see how the rest of the season progresses. Should be quiet day at work tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good day.

Been a long time since I had seen a post from you. Good to have you post.
Busy time for the next three days.
Been a while since I last posted. We were in Michigan last week - 2 day seminar, then two more days of vacation. Nice trip, but glad to get home.
The Scott Jophlin ragtime festival started today. But, being a working stiff, I have not had time to check it out. Probably will do that on Saturday.
There was a car show downtown a couple of weeks back. Bunch of interesting stuff was there - a '59 Ford hardtop convertable, a '62(?) Corvair station wagon, some sort of right hand drive Toyota sport coupe thing.
No train activity lately.
Good luck to youse guys out there with your dentist and doctor appointments.
About all for now.
Nobody home, I'll have to tell the Chief there was more action with my heading than his oatmeal one... Sun and 85 today.
Good news bad news kind of morning.
Good news, Angiogram for next week has been canceled.
Bad news, It has been replaced with a cardiac catherization. Must be things going on in there that they want to see "up close and personal".
We are short handed for the weekend, only one operator each day. Sunday will be the toughest to get additional help. All the different road closures for the "Rock-N-Roll Marathon" will be making it difficult for some people to get to the museum. Would hate to be a tourist who came in for the weekend and not be able to get around the city with all this falderol going on.
Time to get gussied up for my echocardiogram.
Later all.
dougnottagrump - It just so happens that I've got ab-so-lut-ly nothing going on this Sunday. Or the following day. Orrr the day after that. If you guys want to pull your resources and purchase me a round-tripper from BWI, I would be happy to help out in this difficult time. And with the Rock-n-Roll marithon going on, I could bring my ukulele along, making me a double-threat. And if things suddenly go wrong at the echocardiogram, I know how to use an AED, kinda making me a triple-threat...
It really is all about helping others.
What a generous offer!

Fife, Ain't it great being retired !
Now as far as passing the hat for donations for a flight, even with the addition of the uke, although it sounds great I doubt it would be successful.
As far as the AED, I've got my own built in defibrolator. That's why I always warn everybody that if you see me on the floor acting strange I'm not practicing new breakdancing moves it's only my defib shocking me.
Echo went OK, the only bad part was they did some views with the addition of some sort of dye, better clarity/definition in the heart chambers. They did the same thing almost 1 year ago to the day and their ability with placing the IV was just as bad today as last year.
Everything for tomorrow is packed and in the garage for tomorrow's run. Now I need to look at packing some stuff for Sat/Sun if I can't come up with some volunteers. Maybe an appropriate incentive .
Good evening to all. Today was day 4 and 1/2 out of 8 and a 1/2 use 'em or lose 'em vacation days. I think I'm going like this retirement gig. Tomorrow is also a day off, then I have 3 more scheduled. I got a nice walk in before the sun popped out. Later I cut the lawn and trimmed. Many more chores on the honey-do list.
Grilled some salmon on a cedar plank and also grilled asparagus and had some corn on the cob for dinner. Tomorrow we will have dinner with some friends who spend the winter in Florida. Should be fun.
The dental issues everyone is chatting about remind me of my last visit for a cleaning. I was having absolutely no issues until the hygienist got to digging around in there and now my one tooth is sensitive to cold. I think I need to find a new dentist. Fife your offer to help Doug is very generous. Maybe we should plan a road trip, you, me, Laz, and any other retirees on the forum could make a cross country run to help run trains at the museum and then turn around and come home.
Doug da Grump When did you get yours? ( defibrillator ) I got my first one back in 2005 my present one about a year ago then this past Oct. they had to replace one of the leads.
Not to much going on here, Tomorrow and Saturday there having what they call peach tree 23. 44 mile yard sale all the way up rt 23. it starts like 2 towns before ours and goes and goes lol
Hope all have a good weekend talk to you all later.
Good day at work as pain two was gone all day. Good walk at noon. Took forever to mow the ^*(&^*(^*^ yard. Suppose to get easier at the season goes on, not harder. Sometimes I curse the day I saw this house. Wife fell in love with big yard because it reminded her of her home growing up in the country. She never mowed that yard and I can count on one hand the times she has mowed the current one. Doubt if she would love the place as much if she had to care for it.... End of soapbox rant. Tired just tired. I hope everyone has a good day.
Morning. Fair, 74 degrees and 90% humidity. Off to local bakery as it is NATIONAL DONUT DAY. Opened my big mouth the other day. Seems someone told folks to meet the Mayor there this AM at 8. Go out and get some donuts.

Hey Don, Buckeye he finally omits it another day to go down in history.
Mitchie - Perhaps we can borrow a micro-bus. Laz can be Ray. You can be Terrance. And I could be Archie. If you build it, we will come. And drink your . And eat all of your . And on your couch.
I feel like I've been training for this moment all my life.
Good morning, Another bute of a day here, 65, lots of sun, heading to 80.
You guys can stop by The North Bluff and pick me up on the road trip to Don's.

TGIF.......
Memorial Day Weekend was a blast, drove the roadrunner to Sterling, VA, no problems other than NJDOT and DelDOT working on the roads and getting me stuck in 15 miles of traffic.....but the bird didn't overheat or complain and we wound up doing 70-75 all the way to Sterling.....1.5 hours later than I wanted.
The drive home on Sunday was hazardous at best...big tire cars don't like rain and speed and that was a 5 hour ordeal in its own right.
Well, after 61 years, I finally became an Esquire as I have a won a bid on a house. They will sign the contract on Monday, then the waiting for close begins...the real fun part was finding out I pre-qual'ed for 75K MORE than I had originally had....But, its done and hopefully we'll have the Princess and her consort here and moved in by months end. I'll be going down there to help pack and move on the 24th.

Monday it rained, we marched and I was in the color guard. Soaked inside and out. Missed a 2nd parade as I was too tired from the late night drive and early cemetary ceremony.
Work is great, no one complains to me any more and I do my job. They like me so far, and I am content.
And MikeC...I agree...good win for Andretti and Rossi....gotta love those Italians!!
See ya soon!

OK. I think I need a little psychological evaluation here. (Don't worry, it's not a real problem.)
I came accross this link the other day and I need some thoughts on whether or not I'm insane for even thinking about trying to build one of these!

It's a 1:48 scale model of the Apollo 13 Lunar Module Aquarius with full interior and removable skin. If you've never tried it, take my word for it, building tiny parts like this out of paper is a real (censored)! It's the most complicated paper model kit I've ever seen in my life! But something in my blood says "I gotta do this!"
