Good morning all,
I did not post last night as I was tired. Sprayed weeds again, trimmed yard with Weed-Eater and used it to clear weeds off sidewalks, and trimmed more honeysuckle out of rose-of-sharon bush. Wife helped me drag limbs to street. Still have a few more to get. Will be annual process to cut down new growth each year. I hope the honeysuckle will eventually die out. Foyt team did about as expected Sunday. Munoz 11th(almost a top 10) and Daly was 15th. Not enough Hondas blew for them to make better positions. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Morning all!
Partly sunny and 62 this morning. 82 predicted. 79 for tomorrow. Summer?
Regards, Roy
Mornin' All.
The heat continues, ugh.
Skipped my "goofy pills" last nite and this morning. Have an apointment with the cardiologist at 1 pm. Since I will be driving I don't want to be any goofier than normal.
Seems like it has bee forever since being at the museum, maybe the first week of July.
Later all !
P.S._Anybody else out there with heart issues ? You might want to read this article, sounds straight out of sci-fi.

Good Afternoon from beautiful sunny Southern Ohio,
We had a busy weekend, I swapped the dishwashers bringing the new Bosch dishwasher from the old house to the new one, and moved and unpacked more boxes and cleaning the old house.
Picked up the chicks Friday morning, one from the beginning looked sickly and it died last night so we’re at 11. The rest are looking good in the warmer.
Fife – Enjoy the 15B; they are great transformers and the “Deadman” handle is just plain cool.
Time to get back to work.
May God bless
Jim
Good evening all,
Blood sugar was the lowest ever at 83! I hope I can keep doing this. Quiet day at work. Good weather for walk. Cleared out last of weed bush tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
At 62 again and 78-80 this afternoon. Summer arrives next week...
Dougnotta - good to hear from you -
Mike C - congrats!
Good Afternoon from beautiful sunny 72°F Southern Ohio,
I led the Rosary and Wake last night and assisted at a Funeral Mass for a good friend this morning. He is at peace after a long bout with cancer. May God have mercy on his soul.
This brings to mind one of the best gifts a person can give to a loved one, spouse, or child or parent, is have written out their funeral service arrangements and let people know where the instructions are.
Not just their place of repose, and will, but I’m referring to the funeral service and Church (Mass ) arrangements as applicable identifying what you would like to have for your funeral. When left to the family, the decisions about what prayers, songs and scriptures to use can be difficult. You can usually call your priest, deacon or pastor and they can help you make the arrangements, and it is one less thing your loved ones need to think about and they will appreciate your parting gift a lot.
Mike – congrats on the sugar levels
Roy – We are going to get spoiled with this great weather we’re having.
Izombie was very, very good tonight. Once you accept the premise of the show, everything else follows. Went thru old financial paperwork tonight. Got some of it in order. May finally have a plan for keeping items in order. Hmmm....only took me some 40+ years. Go figure. Quiet day at work, but very productive. Great weather for a nice walk. Wife said it took the street dpartment just 5 minutes to chop up all the limbs. A very long and boring day in some sort of stupid meeting is on the agenda for tomorrow. At least I have a soccer game tomorrow night. I hope everyone has a good day.
Mornin' boys. Sunny & 57 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. This post-Cindy weather has been sweet. Neighbors want me to help with cutting weeds along the driveway this afternoon. Guess I'll crank up the Cub Cadet whacker and do my little hillside as well.
Wifey and I did a little "advance scouting" in Frostburg yesterday. Many times, passengers ask me what's to do in town when we arrive up there. Now I can give them a heads up. What they don't realize is that an hour layover goes by pretty quick, especially if you stop and watch the engine being spun on the turntable. We also turned off Rt 36 and explored Mt Savage. Amazing what used to be there, even as of 40 years ago. Now it's just the brick factory that remains. Cutest thing is the one-room jail on main street (reminded me of the one in Support Your Local Sheriff).
PS - I want a "viking" funeral on the yatchett...
A sunny 59 right now (Phish ). Wind will turn and come from the south today. 85 and return of humidity. Rain for the weekend...boooooo....
Kids will be here for annual July 4th week long. Lots of outdoor and on the water events with friends/neighbors.
Got the boat lowered and no further cable fraying. Waiting on a quote to replace lift cables. Keeping it low so if a cable gives it will only drop a foot or so. Took it out for a long wine cruise last night. Weather was wonderful.
fifedog PS - I want a "viking" funeral on the yatchett...
Hopefully not anytime soon....
And load the entire deck with fireworks!
Cloudy and cool here.
Calling for rain next few days. We picked up the truck Monday and the seat came out very nice. Glad I got it fixed.
Went to the bar we call the bank in Newark yesterday and had a few with Mark. Gas here is down to $1.99 a gallon.
Calling for rain next few days.
Just sprinkle my ashes around out back in the woods.

Why, oh why, would anyone ever want to control a train with a remote control, instead of an American Flyer 15B? Hmmmm? I got mine. It's awesome looking.
It must be that Tardis thing.
Yep it is
sir james I It must be that Tardis thing. Yep it is
SJ Photobucket has now made it that if you want to share your photo's on another site ( ie CTT ) you need to pay them a monthly fee
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

No deal I won't pay. I don't use it so I really have no need for it at this time.
ok this is a test, I think I got it off.

Unfortunate but I am not surprised. I fail to understand how these entities that let you store lots of stuff on their servers for free stay in business. At some point someones gotta pay the piper...
Meeting today was moderately interesting, but hardly worth the time. For the 20 somethings, it might have some value. For old geezers like me who are putting our time in until retirement....meh. We won the game tonight 3-0. I pulled the muscle in my left leg again so I did not play much. My sidekick did not show up. This is looking more and more like my last season. Weather is still nice. I hope everyone has a good day.
Wow $399 a year for photobucket. Too rich for my blood.

Good evening all, my schedule is all out of whack. I got up early to attend early morning mass and discussion group due to friend who keeps bending my arm to go. I am not a morning person. Sleep deprived all day so I took a nap this afternoon. Slept for three hours. Ate dinner at 9:00PM. Now I will probably be up all night. Sorry to hear about Dennis' dog. I'm still fighting itch problem but it is getting better. Dermatologist thinks so and wants to see me in one month which is better than every two weeks. What is the best source for MTH traction tires? Can you still order direct from MTH? I need to replace nearly all of them on trains on the layout that have sat too long without running and in the heat of summer too. Tried Bullfrog snot. Not happy with that. Stuff hardens up in the bottle if you don't use it often. Got invitation to go on special train trip this fall to celebrate engineer friend's retirement. Will be on two private cars with all food and drinks included. Will go from L.A. to San Luis Obispo, half way to San Francisco and return the same day. Looking forward to that.

Busy week for me. Went and sprayed at farms yesterday. Got NO ticks this time. Sprayed clothes night before. Worked. Was dry which was a surprise and they had had some storms earlier.
Brick masons are here as I hear noise outside.
Have a good one.

Well thanks to Photobucket I lost my Signature Pic's, I don't mind so much but those large round notices were unnecessay.
Good Morning from beautiful 78°F Southern Ohio,
I thought I was just having trouble with Photobucket. Do you guys use shutterfly? I wonder if Shutterfly can access and move my photobucket pics?
I am going to be off next week and I hope to get a good portion of the honey do list done and the remaining stuff from the old house to the new house moved; first on the list will be the boxed up trains! It may be scary to see all the boxes in one place.
Fife – When I get home I’ll try and post a pic of the Control Panel I made, a 30B and a 19B! Really cool. The 30B does have the quirk where you rotate the levers in the oppisit direction, left and right to control speed.
Got to go
Jim I use Shutterfly with no problems but I wonder how long before they start asking for money now that photobucket is? I don't know if you can transfer the pictures from one to the other.
Kitchen sink Moen faucet is leaking AGAIN! This time from under the handle and on to the counter top. It looks like I will need to replace it. It has been nothing but issues with it from day one. I will never buy Moen again. JMHO. So to replace it I will have to remove the disposer and I can't find any parts list for the model number I have.
Oh well?
Jim I downloaded all my pics to my computer from Photohog and will upload them to Shutterfly or another site later. I also closed my account there.
Evening all!
I never opened a photo account anywhere so guess I lucked out there.
Raining all afternoon and 81, muggy.
Very quiet day at work. Did very little. Starting to get sticky weather wise. Mowed the yard tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
TGIF!!!!!! probably have to work tomorow.
Tried this from phone earliers and it couldn't log in
