Last day of June, think Da Chief will remember?

Sun and 80 today. 84 yesterday but windy.

No train news.

Morning all. 76* here, rainy and humid. No plans for today.

Need to look into some portable lights for the attic, So I can see when I'm installing the insulation up there. HarborFreight has some inexpensive portable lights at a good price. 

Not much else to talk about this am. Will talk to you all later.

Buenos Dias Y'all !

Guess I'm guilty of "cultural appropriation", Stick out tongue .

Picked up the BetterHalf at the airport late last nite. What a day. Late departing Cinncy, had to circle around Nashville due to storms, late out of Atlanta, storms, which meant even later arrival in San Diego. But then the icing on the cake so to say, the airline had five or six flights, wide bodies, all arrive within just minutes of each other. You can imagine what the baggage carousel area was like. But thankfully she is home.Left HugRight Hug     

No museum today nor next Friday, physical therapy day.

Darn, one of the train stores was having a pretty good sale on some Railking engines. Broke down and ordered one and it looked like I was going to be happyhappy. Unfortunately their inventory was off. Bang Head

Oh well, didn't really need it.

Later all.

Aloha from a damp and humid Chicago. Looks like it'll be a nice long weekend if the rain stops - everything is growing like a weed with all the rain and I really need a dry spell to cut things back. Remind me about this when it's a drought. I am working to confer all of our graduated students with the deadline to audit everyone's records at 5 pm today. I think I'll make it!

DougM, You guys got pounded with rain and we only got .7" all week here. Funny what 70 miles can change.

I ordered a new kitchen faucet. Found the same thing Home Depot had for $304 at Menards for $169 so that was a no brainer. Also ordered the gasket for the disposal. So maybe next week I can swap it out.

Good Evening from sticky Southern Ohio, 

TGIF! 

Had a busy day.  Hung the other storm door, the went to ACE hardware to get some keys made and they had a big sale and we bought some furniture for the front porch.  Put it together then got another load of stuff from the old house, guns, ammo and the gun safe, and a few other tools. 

My bride grilled salmon and zucchini and it was fantastic!  Saturday if it does not rain I'll cut grass, if it rains we'll empty boxes. 

We've got internet now and we're all set up.  Hopefully Photobucket will cooperate for Sunday but I'm going to look into shutterfly. 

Good night and may God bless 

Jim

Good evening all,

Very quiet day at work.  Spent enjoyable evening with younger granddaughter.  Rains came thru this evening.  Got MR, Trains and TCA Quarterly all on the same day.  I think I am good for awhile.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana
