Mornin' boys. Sunny and 71 in the Potomac Highlands. Starting SPF may have been the height of initiative for me today...
Yesterday, the Middle Princess drove us back to Baltimore for a family cookout. Had a great time playing with grandsons in the pool, eating yummy food, getting my beer fix "it might take one or it might take 6", and even grabbed the mic for karaoke.
Buckeye - Great photo!
Evening folks!
Happy 4th to you all!
Low key here. Very low key...

Same weather here SJ. Way to hot to early here.
I got a set of Flex Forks for the Hustler Raptor zero turn mower. A big help to my kidneys.
Cut the east end and done for the day.
No 4th plans. We have decided to stay home.
Dennis, the guy next door to the east sells fireworks that are HUGE so he is giving samples explosions to people for about a month before the 4th. Lucky we have not had to replace any windiows yet. He also does profesional firework events for groups and stuff. If his pole barn ever caught on fire holy cow it would be bad!
You guys be safe.

KRM Well Guys I caved in and today I called Consumer Cellular, got a Motorola Moto E, I like the voice reconition thing, just tell it what you want. A Consumer Cellular Link flip for wifey. Both will blue tooth link to the Colorado truck. Both were only $ 116.88 with tax and we shall see where we go from there. If I hate it I will get a flip and give the smarta$$ phone to one of the grand kids. Unlimited talk and text with 10GB of data. Whatever that is. $25.00 less than my old Sprint account that did nothing and worked no place out here, or up north and kept our phone numbers. Thanks for all the replies, It helped. I did the Android thing because the kids and neighbor have that so I can lean on them for help. None of them have iphones so I would be on my own. I am sure they are both good, just what you get used to.

A "Doro" Consumer Cellular flip-phone is what I've got, got it at Sears about three years ago. I only use it for phone calls, that's all I need.
I was in a Wendys about a year or so and a guy on line with me saw me pull it out. "Where'd you get that?" he asked, so I told him. He pulled out his smart-phone, or some such and said "My daughter talked me into getting THIS! I HATE IT! I'm gonna go flip-phone shopping as soon as I find out who's got 'em!"
I had an old flip phone that when I say old I mean OLD. It was thru Virgin Mobile and when they were bought out/merged with Boost it was just too expensive to keep. The BetterHalf wanted me to get one of those wizbang fancy phones but I don't need nor doI want one. The only thing I want mine for is if I'm out and about and my crappy heart malfunctions requiring phone service, hello 911. Ended up getting a very inexpensive flipper,Tracfone, and a very low cost plan, again I don't want nor need texting, internet, photo sharing or any of that stuff.

Kevin mine is an android and it has been good to me so far and you save $150 that you could use elsewhere.
Hot and humid seems to be the only thing as of late. Put down 16 Gal of Roundup on the lane edges and any other areas where weeds are popping through. Should do it.
Mike C. Congrats on #7. We are at #6 and I think it will stop there. Youngest will be 7 next week, oldest is 20. Next will be Great Grandkids.
The SIL is telling me that the Iphones are a pain to use compaired to an Android.
Don I am already sick of thinking about getting a new phone!
Be good.
Mike C. Congrats.
Don good news on El Camino and smart decision on not making that trip.
Been a little under the weather past two days. Upset stomach, feeling little nausea, and lots of gas.
Nothing train wise.
Hot and humid [96]. Staying in.
Banks, prayers.
Fifey the gardener.
Was going to type more but software keeps changing font size.
Have a good one.
Good morning folks!
Hot and hoomid! All good!
MikeC - congratulations!
DonB - on the El Cam moving forward.
Mornin' boys. Sunny & 67, heading to the 90's by noon. Need to touch-up some patio furniture with flat black spraypaint. Then I'll probably retreat to the cool confines of the train room for the rest of the day.
Youngest Princess and I finished the new garden, as my lovely wife supervised. She's happy now.
Cheapclassics - Congrats on the new grandclassic!
Good evening all,
In the space of less than 2 weeks, I have been to a high school graduation party for 2 my twin nieces, welcomed a 7th grandchild to the family and learned a vibrant, active, supposedly healthy daughter of a cousin of mine who has RAN the mini with her two sons passed away from a massive cardiac arrest. She was 42, barely a year older than my older daughter. Events like the preceding have led to me not posting for a while. If the 500 is held on August 23rd and I am able to attend (sitting ANYWHERE), I will be back here. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
So maybe just go out to the desert and contemplate the stars.
Or sit in the backyard by the pool and contemplate your bellybutton.
Good Evening,
Kept thinking today is Friday, but its not. Anyway, no exciting news on the El Camino, the radiator bracket and hood are on back order. But, I can live with it. They are starting work on the suspension on Monday. The right front wheel was bent, did you guys no they can have it reshapped! I didn't know that.
Did some yard work yesterday, and still working on my photo project, getting closer to being done. A LOT of time spent, I doubt that anyone will ever notice.
Banks, I can't fathom the loss of such a little one. Valid or not, the guilt feelings must be horific!! Home the family and manage thru all this. Espically with one on the way!! Prayers for them in a great way!
Kev, I would rather go to the Dentist than phone shopping! Society today is making them so essential anymore! The basic purpose has been long forgot!
As everything is being closed again here, think we will have a quiet week-end at home. Spend some time with the pool, suppose to be 95+, so that will be fine. No fireworks though $1000, fine.
Even when I get the Camino back, the trip I was thinking about (Seattle and Reno), probably wont happen. Given the Aunt I would like to see is 88/89, and my brother has COPD, it wouldn't be a good idea for me to go there. So maybe just go out to the desert and contemplate the stars.
Take care all and have a SAFE weekend!!!!
Don
V8Vega Kev get a iphone, check the websites of the different phone companies look for a new but several years old model for a good price. iphones are made with quality componets and work good. Many people have them so can help you with questions.

Dennis, I was thinking maybe a iphone 7 new. They are like $200.00 cash. What one do you have?
Been a mad house today, Two grandchildren and their dog. Picked them up at 7:30 and Been running my Butt off since. Thank God for Songe Bob. I get a break.
Back at it.
Well, yesterday had signed up to run on 7/10 with great anticipation.Today that bubble was burst, received an e-mail with all the rules, regs, etc. that volunteers/operators are required to meet to have access to the museum. I met all of the requirements except one. If you have a temp, to be taken before entering, of 100* or more you can not enter. Unfortunately with my immunotherapy for the cancer I have a temp quite frequently of 100*+ but not 101* or greater. So me can no go, could probably let it slide a little but with only two operators allowed should I go and get turned away it would leave one person all alone. That ain't acceptable in my book, period.
Friday Eve - Was better yesterday, I got sort of a breather, still had some issues, however, everything was more manageable and I punched out at 3:00Mailed out a box, then got my stuff together for my meeting. Stopped at Trains and Things - got my 2 road runner box cars (1 is a gift) and FINALLY my K4 #3678 TMCC equipped engine. Very happy, my budget is busted, but I have my K4 !!! Just need a PRR T1 Duplex and I'll be done (and that is a $2000 engine!)Meeting went very well, about 25 showed up. I might be able to run this show for 3 years if I am elected in December, but that's a ways down the road.Stopped briefly at Jenni's for a quick dinner then home by 1030. My sister stepped in to hang with Mom. Mom has decided to get the valve in her heart replaced, she tired of being sick. Rather than wait on the valve repairing itself, she just wants it done.90 ish later, rained and thunder last night. Better weather for the weekend - I'll be shopping for food and fireworks later.
Banks - Condolences to the family, that truely is sad
That's all from here

Banks, my sincere thoughts, prayers, and condolances to you and your family on the loss of the little one. I cannot imagine the horror of losing a child. Things aren't supposed to happen that way.
Again, sincere condolances.
89 and rising fast. Sunny with only 20% chance of rain.
KEV, just pulling your leg.
Banks, prayers. Hard to loose a little one.
Probably mow.
Enjoy your day.
Mornin' boys. Sunny & 65 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. We will be gardening today, so hopefully will be done by noon (and the heat).
Wifey and I took that drive yesterday. Took a to my folks for stepdad. Then headed up to Deep Creek. Picked up garden supplies from Lowes, ate at the Green Turtle, then circled around the lake itself. It was a lovely day.
to all in need.
I have a cousin who is one of the lucky ones if you want to call it that. She had gotten it, but thanks to some good doctors she has survived it but is still nowhere near where she was health-wise before this hit her.
