Morning all. A nice cool morning here. Weather's been wacky lately. Sweaters one day and back to shorts the next. I guess that is the Fall for you. Love this time of year.
Went to the brother-in-law's yesterday to watch football/tailgate. I'm glad my Wolverines came through. I was a little worried early on.
We're going to another BBQ today. Fingers crossed with the weather.
Roy -Congrats on the retirement!
Banks - Never made it to Delgrosso (nor anywhere else this year).
My dancecard 'tis a bit full for that weekend, as it will be through October.
Evening all!
Quite cool today. Sun and Mon are supposed to be very nice. Got some boating in today. Son did a nice waterski run.
Dougnotta -
Regards, Roy

Fife .......learn something new every day.
Did you ever make it to DelGrosso ' amusement park?
There is a nice little train show at the Blair County Convention Center on October 8th if you're interested. Probably about an hour for you

Afternoon all !
I hope they are right about it starting to cool a bit next week. Today it hit 107* and the wind has been howling all afternoon, hope nobody does something stupid and cause a fire.
Friday went well at the museum although the DCS gremlins did make an appearence very late in the day. The last part of the day I used my Atlas U23B TMCC engine to avoid some aggravation.
Should be hearing from radiology next week to schedule my CT biopsy so we can find oiut what the mass is and how to treat it.
Monday, Labor Day, will be a fun run at the museum for the Kid's Club. Will be taking in a mixed freight with a couple of CSX SD70's for power that the kiddos w/o a train can use.
Have a great weekend y'all.

Very cool here but nice, what more could you ask for?
Wife and I had burgers from the grill and fries on the deck and just talked some. About as nice as one could ask for.
I gave the new truck a wash and that was about it for today.
Enjoy your holiday weekend and remember why we are having it. The workers of our country have earned a day off and the unions and others have seen to it they get one.

Evenin' boys. Tropical depression "Harvey" swinging through the region, but folks are just goin' about there business. Big street rod-event in town.
Chief - PawPaw used to be a convergence point for the old B&O, where the Low Line met the Magnolia Cut-Off. I've actually have been trying to locate a small waterfall "Little Niagra", that is supposed to be just railroad west of there. On the Maryland side, it's a bit more interesting with the C&O Canal's tunnel, and the old Western Maryland Railway bridge (which will be represented on the new layout). Spring Gap, north of PawPaw, is a better place to watch trains, imho.
September second, rainy and cold in Pennsylvania on a Labor Day weekend.
When I was a kid, I used to dread Labor Day, since it was the last day of summer vacation freedom before we had to go back to school. Now that I'm finally retired, it's just like any other weekend for us.
Severe allergies kept me out of action yesterday, but I'm feeling somewhat better today, and I may do some work on the Marx layout.
Marx was doing some extremely interesting things in the late Fifties, and really breathing down Lionel's 027 neck in terms of quality. I get a big kick out of running my 666 around the layout, watching it puff out billows of Mega-Steam Christmas Pine smoke as it hauls a string of colorful postwar plastic cars.
Morning. Cloudy and foggy. Hope it burns away. We had 1 3/4 inches of rain. Not Harvey related. Cold front from up north. Other end of county had baseball size hail. Cars, windows and roofs damaged. Twister in other county. Lots of water down east.
Not much happening today.
Fifey, Trains magazine has photo of Paw Paw in WV.
Dennis, Doug and Ray. hope it is not too hot in your part of the "woods" Saw San Francisco was hotter than Los Vegas.
Hope all have a great holiday.

Good evening all,
Busy day at work. Lots of interesting conversations about some projects in progress. This is turning out far more complex than I thought. Games that I was supposed to referree tomorrow were postponed due to field conditions. May go to Indy to check out some museum displays. Got MR and Trains today. Both look to be good issues. Weather is wet and cool here. AJ's cars are near the top 10 after practice today at the Glen. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Weird weather and a gas crunch - shades of '78? Gas lines, really?
Kev - yup - feels good to be loose!
Dennis - be careful and glad you are feeling better!
Banks - prayers for your mom and hope you and ms Bpanos get some rest. Nice loco!
Hello there,
Been quite a week. As I was leaving PT Wednesday I got a call from Day Care. Mom had chest pains and they sent her to the hospital. Spent the day there. They found nothing but kept her for "observation". Today I managed to talk them into sending her to rehab to get some strength back. Hopefully Mrs & I can get caught up on rest while she's there.
Unusually cool here. Lit the gas fireplace a couple hours to get the chill out of the house
Get to lose my sling next week. This week they added some new excersises that really get my shoulder in an uproar.
Fife...........what's a fishwrap? Relocating Henrieta was probably saved her life. This time of year they get in to everything. They've moved a couple near daughters house.
After 2 years son has his truck project nearly complete. Its runs and drives but the wiring needs work.
Roy.......happy retirement
Photo of the Gilbert engine I got. One year only in '58
Off to bed soon
Prayers for those in need

We have sun but the house is 69 degrees this morning...Geez
Saw the Buckeyes win and the Lions lose last night. Toledo Rockets were not on TV but they won. Followed the score on Facebook

Good morning, 56 heading to only 70. Way cool for here. LP tank is full and 1,000 gal to use on the contract paid for so in case Fife is right, we are ready.
Yesterday went well. Made it through the day.
A lot of neat stuff at the Central States Threshermen’s Reunion show grounds. So big you need a golf cart or Gator to get around the place. Nice thing about going to drop off something you can walk it without paying. Show runs through Monday. I may go back if grand son comes out this weekend. It is only 30 miles from us.
Kids were okay this afternoon but Grand son Jordan was himself,,push it to the limit.
The sitter they had got there on time and we got home about dark. Daughter and SIL went to the Bears game, got free tickets.
Colorado broke 1,400 miles yestrday.
Krogers for supplies today.
Thanks Banks for getting the Pot going this month. Rainy good morning. Waiting for the drywall finisher to come. They say he will work through the weekend and holiday if needed.
6 to 2. Yankees beat Red Sox.
Hope all have a great weekend and holiday.
Mornin' boys. Cloudy & 58 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Goodbye Summer.
Well, looks like local DNR bagged, tagged, and relocated Henry, according to one of the fishwraps around here. Turned out to be a Henrietta after all. Wifey sad.
rt - Nope, not mine...they look pretty darn good.
Morning all
