Hope everyone is having a nice Labor Day weekend. I've been on the train, and will be again today. Riders spotted a black bear at north end of the Trough, yesterday. Cookout at Middle Princess afterwards.
Happy Labor Day guys!
Regards, Roy
Good Morning,
Hope everyone has a good day and plenty of BBQ's and family.
Going to start our day cleaning filters on the pool, then BBQ later. Who knows may get some "pool" time as well. The weather certainly is right for it! Not as hot here as Dennis has it, we are only getting up to the mid 80's, sorry Dennis.
Things are normal crazy here, with the Covid situation, and the Recall efforts in full swing. I thought we would be out of the Covid by now, not having another surge. I really don't understand peoples reluctance on getting the vacination! The downsides are so minimal and risking young children just doesn't make sense to me!
The Recall scenerio is unbelievable! Newsome is being blamed for climate change, gas prices, covid, and the list goes on and on. Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time! Nobody could win, it was inevitable. Then the 40 some candidates running for his office, is laffable when you read their professions.
Not suppose to talk politics here, so I better drop it.
Enjoyed the ending of the Nascar race yesterday, but it was a looong race. (Traditionally so, the "Southern 500") The Long Beach Grand Prix is coming in two weeks, I don't think I will make it, too many people, in to small of an area.
Glad to hear the Chief is doin better!
Roy's recovery seems to be progressing well!
All Great News!!
Continued prayers for Mrs. Banks, sure this week-end it tough for her and their family.
Take Care ALL and be SAFE!

I'm with you. COVID's out there and it's never going away, just like measles, mumps, chicken pox, polio, seasonal flus, and any other nasty disease. Like it or not it's a permanent part of the landscape.
We got the vaccination months ago and were glad to do so. There's nothing to be afraid of (unless you just don't like needles, which I can understand, me neither) and you'll be glad you got it just for the peace of mind for yourself and those around you. A few minutes for a shot can go a long way to getting us back to normal, and we all want that.
Hi gang, happy Labor day!
Well got the Ranger starter off yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WHAT A PITA!!!! Everything went as wrong as it could. Good news was, it failed the bench test so I think I got the right part on the way. What do you want from 18 years of rust? I am getting way to old for this!! Hate to think what me arms will look like by tomorrow! All I need to do is look at my skin and I bruise.
So I just picked away at it till I got it off. I ended up removing the innerwell of the truck to get at it better. That helped.
A close friend of mine came over and I just don't get it. He is a year younger than me and looks 20 years older. He has millions of dollars but acts like he is broke. Not shaved, got about six teeth missing both of his parents are in their 90s and in ill health, His wife who is 59 is on her last stages of a year long fight with cancer. He has been driving her to Mayo every week for treatments. And he will not get the vaccination? How selfish can you be?
Have a good day.

A little slow this afternoon. Blood ox really good. PT went well. Guy said I would be tired. Lazing around. Hope all are OK. Later.

Morning all. Pretty day. Will be a lot warmer. Got some home nurse coming middle of morning. Do my PT exercises and breathing treatments. Did eat breakfast. Scheduled Caddy for a routine service.
Afternoon all!
Sunny and summertime hot!
Still doing small chores that have piled up - touchup painting here and there, clean out an outdoor light fixture that birds nested in, etc.
About to get reset on the El Camino project. Next week is my goal.
Chief - hang in there - it is a long recovery after the chemo is done.
Wow is there anybody out there??
Wow that front that blasted through yesterday afternoon took out a lot of corn. Many fields are mostly flat on the ground. 70mph flat winds here. A small in the air tornado at the daughters. I will be putting Jordan to work on yard clean up when he gets done with the school work.
Dennis, if you were asking me,,,yes I do take those 81mg aspirin. bruse like mad.
Cloudy. PT went well. More stamina. Will keep it up. Eating more too.
Thanks Roy.
Have a good one.
bBetween the aspirin and all the other drugs I take all I have to do is walk by a counter top, door frame. etc. and I bruise like crazy. I look like I escaped from a leper colony.
If there is good side to having RCC vs other cancers immunotherapy is a lot easier on the body then the traditional chemo programs. Chief, here is one of the items I pigged out on after my tremendous weight loss:
Not to mention the milk shake and malt chasers.
Remember it is a marathon not a sprint !
I'm BAAAAACCCCKKK!
I got started with first things first of course...
6 of the 12 locos I kept plus a semi-convertible:
This is the space:
Between the recliner and the corner there's enough room for a 5 by 9 and the forground space would handle a 4 by 4. Or, a funky dogbone or figure 8 that runs through the whole space. And I'm still thinking "floor" because I'd like to put my tree in the center of the window.
Oh, there's also room for another small layout in my bedroom!
I know what my priorities are!
Same me, different spelling!
pennytrains - Exciting news. Nice new "canvas" to cover. All you need to do now is "Make it so"...
The apartment looks nice and roomy Becky! One-bedroom or studio? Just curious.
I suggested that maybe some inexpensive area rugs might take care of the "Carpet Central" railroad issue, you know, to keep any oil or grease off the main carpet.
And I just knew you'd save the Dreyfuss!
Best of luck in your new digs!
Rained big time. We got 1.53". [total for two days = 2.90"] Western part of the county was under flash flood warning. Wow. Could tell it was pouring while having chemo. Speaking of chemo, magnesium [always one bag which takes an hour] and only one bag of chemo today [30 minutes].
Looking good, Becky!!!

Fife: I see you saw what I was seeing!
Wayne: It's a one bedroom. One bed, one bath one kitchen, one dining/living/everything room + one "ugly closet". No need for a "Warm River Junction" here, the furnace and water heater are both squashed into a closet between the kitchen and the bathroom.
Penny, Sure sounds exciting and a lot of fun! When's the "House Warming"?

Becky, sounds like you did all right. More space would be nice but what matters is making the best of what you've got.
When we cleaned out my late brother-in-law "Big B's" two-bedroom we were amazed at how much space he would have had if he didn't fill it up with a ton of shht! I could have lived very comfortably in the space he had.
A furnace in the apartment? I'm surprised it doesn't have a central heating plant like most apartments do, but maybe what you've got's a better system. When a central plant goes nobody's got heat!

Chilly morning. Did not sleep well. Did nap after chemo yesterday. Bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast. Neck not doing good but Tylenol will help. Nothing on agenda for today.Hope all have a good one.
Hey all!
Sunny and moderating temps! Pleasant early mornings!
Son's flower gardens are looking great. Lotsa Zennias. Impressed the yard guys!
Becky - glad the move has gone well! Looks like more space than the first "all-in-one" apt I had eons ago.
Chief
Today, this 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, please remember the tragedy we shared and those we lost.
Spent the morning cleaning out the frozen drain line on the freezer.AGAIN, like the third time in 5 years. What a PITA and what a POS set up. SO that is done on to Brunch. Thinking about it I guess you could say I have been defrosting the frost free Refrigerator.
Here. Watching 9-11 ceremonies. Wanted to hear President George Bush's speech. He told it like it is. Outstanding. All need to hear it.

Your right Chief, he nailed it. And so what does local FOX station have on? Football?
The Murdoch family, owners of Fox. Five generations of the family are descended from two Scottish emigrants to Australia. No wonder their network does not care about America. Just money.
That may be your opinion but then again you know what they about opinions. They are much the same as a certain orifice, most everyone has one but some smell worse than others.
I agree 100% Doug. Everything I say is JMHO. But I have never tried to decide who's stinks more than the others. It would put my nose in a bad place. Just surprised me that "local stations" for CBS, NBC, & ABC took the time to remember and FOX had to cash in on their footbal contracts? Go figure? I don't have "Foxitis" or any other so called news network love. Most today are opinion networks. Makes you have to sort it all out on your own, if your smart enough.
Not around here. NBC had Soccer.
