Hey,
I dug the hole to find the septic lid yesterday,,,They charge a min of $150 if they do it,,,WOW just put my ashes in that hole and call me gone,,,WTH??? 36" across and 16" deep. I thought I was going to drop dead right there. Today they pumped the septic out. $300.00+but never been done since I had it installed 13 years ago so it was interesting to see how full it is. I ordered a tank riser so I will never have to dig that motherfu%#@&* out again! Good to go till 2030 now.
So that is off the "before winter" bucket list.
WOW RT nice job on the shelves! I would hate to have to clean all of those.
Thanks for all the well wishes for wifey! Will see what they come up with next week.

Good evening from clear 67°F Southern Ohio,
Good day at work. We’re starting a new project and we are working the bugs out of the operating procedures. I’m fortunate I have a very good crew.
I got the brakes and bearings off one side of the Ranger. I just broke a caliper guide pin bolt. Not too bad, only $6 for a replacement bolt and guide pin. The wheel bearing are soaking in solvent and the hub spindle looks good. Maybe start reassembly Friday.
Kev - good idea on the float
Roy - yea, the 12 in reality is usually 13 hours, and I get tired. To add insult to it because I’m supervision, it is all at straight time.
RT - Looking really nice
Good night and may God bless you and your families

It was an exciting day yesterday!!!
The new and expanded BO&W Railroad layout started construction.
The BO&W being a rather cheap organization saved much of the benchwork from the previous layout including the L-Girders.
The support frames were also saved.
Clamping commenced
This segment of the layout will be 26' feet long. The room is painted B&O grey and LED Can lights are above. I have already made one change and replaced this support with a 2x4 frame. This frame is now being used at the end instead of the middle.
RT... Good job and a nice collection.
Everyone take care of themselves.

Morning,
Another senior moment this morning, I got up and as I always do and turned on the coffee maker because Sandra gets it ready every night. I head to the bathroom to do some inventory control and when I am done and come out to get a cup of coffee I find out there was no coffee pot in the coffee maker,,,,,,WHAT A MESS!!!
Sun and 70s today. It's been real nice, door and windows open.
Kev a bachelor would have just sponged the coffee into his cup and gone merrily on his way. A mess to be sure.

Long day today dealing with ATT installer and their phone support for a conversion of wife's 2 business lines from regular telephone lines to VoIP. Thats 6-7 hrs I will never get back...and their new equip does not support 3 lines (2 bus plus 1 residential), yet their old gear supported up to 6...right....so now the house residential line is not connected to anything. So a residential installer comes out tomorrow to resolve. We may end up with two fiber lines into the house for 3 phones...progress!...and more fun than washing socks or a cat!
Kev - I have never done that...ever...really...no, really...
Hot and dry. Watering Wifey's gardens. Good thing. No hurricanes.
Early train to Charlotte held in Durham. Man on the tracks hit and killed. Loading folks on buses. Why? Move the body and send it on. I am guessing suicide by train. I'm sure NS had sent freights through earlier. Train will sit for hours.
Later.

Fife - back in the swing at the WM? Cool.... really need to plan a getaway out there...
Roy - and technology rolls on....sort of...

Took the road runner to the final 2019 cruise night at Robbinsville with Jenni and her Charger, I received a Sponsor's award. $25 Rock Auot card and a folding chair, I was surprised - - I usually get nice compliments and not much more.
Weather is cooler but the Sun is warm and I enjoy that.
Italian-American faire this weekend, Jenni has passes and will be taking pictures for the event. Tomorrow it's Bobby Rydell and Fireworks!! Should be very cool.
Will start the videos and working on the layout soon, weather is better and the atiic is cooler.
OK back at it, will check in soon....

Been an interesting 2 days since I did not post yesterday. Wife called me as I was on the way home saying she had been to eye doctor. He thought she might have had a detached retina. Turns out it was not but there was some diabetic bleeding which the specialist did the first step of treating today. Quite a scary situation but it looks like it will be successfully resolved. Weather will get warmer this weekend. I hope everyone has a good day.
Hello there.
been trying to get in off and on since Saturday morning. Guess I'll wait for the October pot to post anything
I was not able to get in to the forum either, funny when bob was hre he checked it thru the weekend and usually knew how to get it.
I was thinking they locked us out again.
Yesterday was the normal very warm in the mid 90's. Had a great day as 4 of us 'boys' went to the State Fair while the ladies attended the brunch/bridal shower for our daughter. Had a get time consuming corn dogs, brews, and other fair food! Wandered around while catching up and looking at typ fair displays, new cars at the car show, and some nice live music at several stages.
Mike C - prayers for the ms
Looks like it it time for a new 'pot' tonight!
See it is working again. Out the door to the farms. Paint deer stand and steps to camo them. Deer probably don't care.
Have a good one.
