Cederstrand***Jake, sorry I wasn't paying attention so have to ask, is the hay for cows, horses, or do you bale and sell it?
I go and help my grandmother bale hay. She is just getting too old for this kind of work (said so herself finally) and the hay goes to cows.
Good evening.
Got some detail paint on the Spit this evening. Looking sharper and sharper the more detail that's added. Can't wait to see it with it's RAF markings!
Night everyone.

kbkchoochJeffrey, I don't remember the Colt...Lucky me, my 1st PC was a Pentium. I skipped over a lot. That PC served me very well, lasting 15 years. It was too slow for todays internet, but handled JMRI just fine. When it died my Athalon replaced it, and I got this AMD 64 bit beast. My how things have changed!

Went to the bank this morning to make a deposit then to the post office to send a package on it's way. From there to the doctors appointment. Doc says all's good for now. I'll take any good news I can get. From there my father and I went to Wal-Mart to get a bit of shopping done. He had accompanied me to the docs office to ask him some questions about my foot. Docs answer was the same as I've been telling him for over a year now. Not his job. He's not a podiatrist. There's not one in this area that will do anything on Medicaid. The Medicaid plan is OK if you're upper middle class or higher but for those with no private insurance like me it really stinks. I'm lucky I have the level of care I'm getting. No work on the layout today or anything else.Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
Evenin' everyone!
Janie, just a tall glass of ice cold lemonade for me right now.
I spent this afternoon out at Boy Scout Camp. I got the microphone input all soldered up, did a mic check with the new mic, and a couple other small things involving the sound system. The Camp Director happened by when I was finishing up and he was ecstatic about the new sound system... All grins and happy as can be. Yesterday was the first day of staff week and he said he put on some music and went out through camp. As I said, all grins! The Program Director is equally happy to have the second mic added in the dining hall. Those of you familiar with Scout Tradition in the Dining Hall know that there is always a song after each meal. Sometimes there is a banjo or guitar to accompany songs at our camp and just one mic doesn't really do a great job for both the guitar and the song leader....
Then I set to w*rk trimming around the tents in the largest tent sight. I now have 6 batteries for the small string trimmer I use so I can keep going considerably longer between charges. The battery one is great for getting in close to the tent platforms and much easier to handle than the camp's big gas one. I was able to finish all but 3 platforms in the largest site before I ran out of battery and energy myself. When I come out to w*rk the Ranger lets me charge the battery in the PiP while I am there, so the trip home got me 124 mpg. About half the way home can be driven in EV before the gas engine fires up.... I left the camp site driving the PiP and was able to sneak up right behind a group of about a dozen young staff members going back to Staff area from the pool after afternoon swim... Got within about 5 foot of them before one turned his head and saw me. He jumped about 5 foot straight up! I leaned out the window grinning and said... EVs do tend to be quiet... Several of them stared at the car with very big eyes while letting me go by. We don't see many Plug in Hybreds or any Electric cars around here, so for some it was the first one they had actually seen in person...
Will be heading back out to camp mid morning to trim some more of the high grass around the tents.
Have a great night everyone! My prayers for all in need of them!

He is right here, folks, right here!
Good Morning Gang!
Flo, dark roast in an IV bag, please! Thank you - you are my life saver!
Got home a notch before midnight and I am up since 4 am again. There is just too much w*rk right now to fit into a somewhat regular 12 (!) hour day. I won´t bore you with all the details, but there is good news - we have collected those 2,000 support signatures necessary to be registered for the general election. Each state has to submit 2,000 signatures. I never thought it to be that difficult to enlist that small a figure of supporters. I actually had to do a lot of campaigning to support our members throughout the state. There is only a little amount of red tape necessary and I will be officially able to run for "Bundestag". The coming weeks will be filled by drafting up our campaign, get all those flyers, buttons and posters and make a tour plan.
I could sure use one of those for my campaign:
I guess I´ll be putting quite a lot of miles and kilometers on my new little car. Speaking of which - that GPS I got with it, has a glitch. I´ll be taking it to the dealer/garage to get it fixed today.
Ray - my gosh, those kids are growing faster than grass in Spring!
Have a good one!
Good evening, everybody.
Mr. B .... Sorry your Bruins did not win for your sake. ... But ... I am happy for the Blackhawk fans. That was an exciting end of game 6 and an end of the playoffs.
Ulrich ... Congrats on the 2000 + signatures. Now, don't do too much. Your heart proceedure is still recent.
Ken .... Uh oh. You are thinking of taking down the layout (or part of it). Ouch.
JR ... I'm glad you took time from a busy schedule to visit the DIner.
Ray ... Thanks for sharing your sisters 70th b'day with us.
Rob .... Glad to hear you are making progress with the layout room.
Karl .... Actually, that is good news. the diner is fine w/o a stripper.

Ulrich my Friend,
Learn to delegate some of that work and you get some better sleep or you might never make the election.
First and foremost take care of yourself, for you and Petra. Don't try to be a Hero only to make yourself much sicker. You have came through a lot and you probably are in a delicate state that needs to be cared for in an on going manner.
This out of the "First Book of John"...............I don't mean to sound like a "know it all", but I am concerned for you and want you around to share your RR. wisdom to some of these young "whipper snappers"..
Johnboy out....................and of course, wishing you the best.

Just for TODD:
Tongue in Cheek:
Meaning:
In an ironic manner, not meant to be taken seriously
Origin:
This phrase clearly alludes to the facial expression created by putting one's tongue in one's cheek. This induces a wink (go on - try it, but may not work for you), which has long been an indication that what is being said is to be taken with 'a pinch of salt'. It may have been used to suppress laughter. 'Tongue in cheek' is the antithesis of the later phrase - 'with a straight face'.
The term first appeared in print in 'The Fair Maid of Perth', by that inveterate coiner of phrases, Sir Walter Scott, 1828:
"The fellow who gave this all-hail thrust his tongue in his cheek to some scapegraces like himself."
It isn't entirely clear that Scott was referring to the ironic use of the expression. A later citation from Richard Barham's The Ingoldsby Legends, 1845 is unambiguous though:
He fell to admiring his friend's English watch. He examined the face, And the back of the case, And the young Lady's portrait there, done on enamel, he Saw by the likeness was one of the family; Cried 'Superbe! Magnifique!' (With his tongue in his cheek) Then he open'd the case, just to take a peep in it, and Seized the occasion to pop back the minute hand.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
I hate to say it, but I think the better team won the Cup last night. So, congratulations to the Blackhawks and their fans. And - see you next year.
Just hot here. We did have some rain last night, but it didn't help much. My excitement for the day was catching a woodchuck in the Have-a-Heart trap and relocating him to an unpopulated area down by the river a few miles away. Those things are a constant problem, always trying to get into the vegetable garden and eating flowers, too. Legally, I'm not supposed to "transport a wild animal" in my car, but what else can I do with them? The trap is larger than any water container I've got, so I can't drown them, I don't own a firearm and poison is kind of cruel, too. So, I figure he'll be happier after a 10 minute ride in the trunk to find himself in a peaceful wetland.

Morning all!
Irish oatmeal and a big old cuppa joe (milk and splenda) please.
Hectic day today. My wife, kids and I are off to Canada to visit friends and family for a few days. Should take us about 4 to 5 hours to reach Buffalo and the border with Fort Erie, Ontario. Crossing into Canada and then back into the United States is so nerve racking nowadays. I really don't look forward to it much anymore. My friend, his Son and my Son plan on doing some railfanning while we are up there. He's also taking us to a model train store in St. Catharine's I believe.
Anyway, hate to eat and run all, but the sooner I put rubber to the road the sooner I can kick back and relax.
Take care fellow diners...and happy modeling!
Don.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for some time. The good news is that you decided to take the train and not fly."
Good Afternoon!
Boy, am I tired! My eyes are half-shut while I type this. Will go for a snooze in a moment...
last mountain & eastern hogger Ulrich my Friend, Learn to delegate some of that work and you get some better sleep or you might never make the election.
Johnboy, I do need a rest, but there is no time for it. If we had the money to pay them, I could easily keep 2 assistants busy. But without money to pay them, the w*rk stays with me to do. Petra is helping me as much as she can, and that´s a big help. No meeting today, but lots of them ahead of me ...
The mail brought a letter from my Mom to me. It is filled with hate and accusations. She is back in her house, but ha, as I expected, refused any help other than a lady coming once to see after her. She does not eat properly, she does not take her medications properly. Her neighbor, whom I called today, told me, that she had fallen and got a bad cut in her face. I feel bad not being able to do anything, but even if I tried, she would not accept that help. my brother has succeeded in filling her heart with more hate. He is supposed to take care of her, but apparently is not doing a proper job. House and yard are a mess, she does not have a telephone to call help if needed - I could go on for hours. Where is my bother? He should have stayed with her until all things are settled properly. In spite of all what I head to bear, I am still worried about my Mom.
Ulrich, I am worried about my mother-in-law. She's in better shape, as my father-in-law is still there with her, but she's 92 and he's 96. Her mobility is limited and she really should be in a wheelchair, but the condo they live in would be awkward as the doors are narrow. It's on the second floor, and there is no elevator. She has not been out of the condo since last year, and I'm thinking that she would need someone to carry her down the stairs. They should be in assisted living, and they have discussed it, but she is very set in her ways and doesn't want to move out.
She's still mostly a happy and cheerful woman, though. But, she gets upset easily. My wife is visiting them now (they live in Florida) but by the end of her 2 week visit they will both be stressed out and ready for her to fly home.
We are 66. We should be retired ourselves.
Good Morning..Another sticky one today...and, of course, one gets to go and continue the process of getting all the crud out of the lair of doom...hopefully we will see some progress here soon....Anyhow...better get cracking here and get this dog and pony show on the road...have a good day!!

Good morning. I can hardly wake up. ....... I need some of Bill T's coffee. Where is Bill T when you need him? ... I may need to sleep in booth near Duke's booth.
Also, Where is Lee? ..... and Sue? .......... Bama? .... Der John?
John Boy .... Good to see you. Maybe I missed it, but did you tell about your long road trip?
Galaxy .... Interesting about "tongue in cheek" ...... Have you done "on the lamb"?..... Reason for asking: The TV news was reporting about the red panda that escaped from the DC zoo and was later re-captured. They said "The red panda was on the lamb.", and that was funny to hear.
Don .... Have a good trip!
Karl .... I like the C415 project you showed in the "Show Me" thread.
Good Morning!!!
Thank goodness no strippers. I'd be questioned about this place.
Isolated showers and thunderstorms. Mostly sunny, with a high near 89. Chance of precipitation is 20%. Locals say 91° could feel like 100° or better.
Coffee and a short stack of buttermilk flapjacks with real butter and maple syrup from…..oh let’s make it New York.
Tongue in Cheek. Yup, that just about sums me up. The base and facts of stories are true...., just embellished in the wording to make for a more dramatic relaying of the events without actually crossing into falsities. Just like the news media.
Don!!! I see you’ve already been informed about the Rivet Counter. Funny story how it got it’s name. Well, not funny. We’ll have to tell you sometime if only just to keep the story alive.
Gotta do that you know, tell the stories once in awhile. If somewhere down the road someone asks “who’s Elliot?”…., or “What’s up with this Ed’s OJ and what is this place really supposed to be?” the other diners won’t just look at each other blankly and say…”you know, I wondered that myself”.
Garry- I’m glad all are ok from the lightning strike. A Senior’s building in Lincoln, IL just north of here, got hit with lightning caught fire and burned Friday. Luckily all got out ok. Oh and I am doing something with the layout. Not much directly, but I am doing some cleaning up of the room a bit as I get the few minutes. I did get to spend a little time on the interior of the restaurant yesterday though not much. But hey! It was some time so I was happy.
JR- Good to see you!! I’d repour by the way.
Ulrich- Good luck and be mindful of the health. Sorry to hear things are going backwards with your Mom. Again. Sorry to say this, but I think your Brother should be questioned on willful neglect and endangering the welfare of a senior for allowing your Mother to go home. He sounds like a vengeful (?? Not sure if that's the right word....but close) man and I hope he doesn’t try to sabotage your campaign by using your Mother.
Well, got a lot of odds and ends to do today, none of which involves the choo choo’s, but does involve outsideness. It got hot quick around here, when it finally did, with little acclimation time.
Ya’ll have a good day, ya hear!!!!

ULRICH, MR. B:
My inlaws are a hassle too.
I certainly HOPE that after all our parents put us through, we make the smart decisions to take care of US in our older age! I have 0 children, nor does MOH have any, MOH is an only child, and my Bro is childless, too so we will be strictly on our own!! With not even a niece or nephew and NO children, we will HAVETO rely on assisted living! WE are ALREADY looking into it! MOH will be 55 next year, and me 4 years later,so we can qualify.
We have NO doubt we will need assistance in later life, though we HOPE desperately to retire to assisted living in Hawaii. {more expensive than NY here} so doesn't look promising..but one never knows, If we work at it, it might just happen.
But, in the meantime we are looking here...in 5 years we would be IN, unless they allow with only MOH being 55. They rent by % of income too...so that will be a boon in later life when the SS is not so hot at paying the bills.
So we are looking!!!
EDIT: I got TIPPY-TOP! SO eat up guys, DAISY..here is my credit card! Put a big fat TIP on there for yourself, too!
Good morning. It's 78°, 88% humidity, high of 92°, partly cloudy cloudy with a 20% chance of rain.Going out this morning to check things out with the VA. Be back later.
Mornin' everyone!
Zoe, I'll have one of those large corn meal muffins with real butter and a cup of dark roast coffee to start the day. Oh, yes, my R&GV RR mug would be fine.
Don, I bet you will be going to the Credit Valley Railway Company in Mississauga. I was there a couple months back... You will love the place!
Ulrich, so sad to hear what is going on with your Mother still. Only thing I can say is to keep every piece of paper from both your mom and your brother on the subject! You may have need for them.
I will be taking my son, Matt out to dinner tonight as Wednesday he will be working with my SILs on some family genealogy on his Mother's side of the family and will spend the evening with his Aunt in Canandaigua. That is a good thing as she is convinced that Aunts are far more important than Fathers... No kidding! Therefore I won't have to hear about how she didn't get any "quality" time with him this time.... Thursday he heads out to Rochester for a meeting for "Work" and then flies out to Chicago Friday morning.
Best get myself moving. lots to do around here!
Hey folks! Remember me? I know, It's been a while! Sorry, Summer time is out side time. I'll have a HUGE glass of sweet ice tea please, and set everyone up with a drink and sweet roll or donuts of their choice, and, as usual, keep the change.
This constant rain in SE WI has wild! What a difference from last year. The yard was paper bag brown at this time last year. We've been getting about 2" a night ! If this keeps up, I'll be back in the basement working on trains, instead of tractors.
Speaking of tractors! I have a couple of projects in the works. Do you mind looking at my pics?
Picture #1, a Simplicity 725, will look as good as or better than the one behind it. This one is going to our place up north. Picture # 2, Simplicity 738, engine and mower deck rebuilt, and now being used as the son's lawn mower. Simplicity has a great roller set up on their decks, and makes the awesome strip patterens in the yard. Picture #3, a match to #2, a 738, currently under construction, motor is done, waiting for the rain to stop so I can continue painting. Bored yet? Oh yea, this is a model railroad site! Speaking of which, my bulk pack of IM wheel sets came the other day, now I'm waiting for Micro Mark to get in a shipment of truck tuners, so I can get mine ! They are on way....way...way back order. So I did some reading back, trying to catch up with every one. Glad to see every body is hanging in their. Just a quick comment on what Jeffery was saying about Medicaid / Medicare, 99% of the wife's clients are saying that they are loosing a lot of coverage they used to have, and with doctors not providing what they used to, and they say it is expected to get worse when obamacare kicks in fully. I won't say another word....no poly....tickin from me. OK, I better get moving! Have a great day, and week ! Mike.

Been to the VA and back. Nothing accomplished except learning that government paperwork STILL moves slower than the advance of a glacier. Later I have to go to my fathers place and wait to see if a cable TV repairman shows up. Sounds like a boring way to waste an afternoon. No layout work again today.

Thank you for being so kind to the Woodchuck Mister B. Äll of God's creatures, Great and Small". In our last home, I live trapped a lot of squirrels and transported them across the river. We didn't mind 1 or 2 because they are cute and fun to watch but more than 2 got to be a nuisance. Got into too much of mischief.
Anyway good on you Mr. B

CDN Dennis, yes, I've become a softie, even for our much-despised woodchucks. When she was back in elementary school, our daughter Annie drew a picture of a woodchuck and a gun, with a caption "Please don't shoot me!" So, since then I've been carting them down to the river and releasing them. I must say, I feel better about it.
Galaxy, we're happy that Penny's parents are financially secure, and we are planning to get long-term-care insurance ourselves, so we don't become a burden to our daughter. The distance between Florida and Massachusetts is an issue, though, and they don't want to be here any more than we want to be there, so being close to support them just isn't practical.
Mike, I love those old tractors, like old cars and trains, and I applaud your efforts to keep 'em running. Please keep those pictures coming.
Stop me if you've heard this one before, because I might have told it a week or two back....
At our daughter's graduation, the speaker was Angus King, former governor of Maine and currently a Senator, one of very few Independents in this party-centric age. He gave a definition of "politics" as a Greek word, with "poly" meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "small blood-sucking insects." Even this humorous and seemingly correct statement raised a small storm of Downeast anger, however. The entire Biology Department almost walked out in protest. Tics, you see, are not insects. They have 8 legs and two body segments, which makes them arachnids.

MR B> I hope you are planning north of $1 MILLION in long-term care insurance, Neighbor {my neighbor growing up} went through $250K In 2 .5 years about 6 years ago, now at 96, she is still "going strong" though not much able to do much for herself physical wise. she relies on her son and daughter.
Well, I have to let my hand rest, I have "21st century disease" form being on the 'puter at times more than a half hour, but not more than 2 a day. The nerves are shot. have to go see the Dr and see if anything can help!
So maybe I drop the tid bit infos inthe AM.
jeffrey-wimberlyne of the funniest thing I've seen was a squirrel trying to push a pear up a pine tree.
Isn't it just amazing how a little squirrel can move a big piece of fruit? I used to feed them peanuts on a regular basis just because they were so funny to watch. My wife would put out an apple cut in half on a piece of paper towel for them and we''d watch the little guys pull the 1/2 apple right up the tree. It amazed me how they could do it. The really funny part was that I could never figure out where the paper towel went until I watched and saw the squirrel rolling the towel into a ball and running off with it too. When we were moving and I went to clean out the woodshed, I found about a thousand peanuts and the missing towels had been used for a nest.
In our new place we don't have any wild life at all and we sure miss the little furry and feathered folk.
Cheers

Hey everyone.
Tired and kinda stiff right now. Don't plan on doing much now. May get a nap in later on.
Evening All,
Just got done with supper which was BBQ Ribs.
Went to see World War Z today and it was pretty good but the ending seems rushed a bit. Got home and was running my Bachmann Mogul with the value sound and no matter how I adjusted the front truck the wheel set wound come off the rails even on straight sections. I thought about it for awhile and I now have a 0-6-0! The cow catcher really stood out in front of the loco so I cut it off the loco, trimmed it and glued it back together. Of course now I need a slope back tender instead of a bathtub style.
Tomorrow I go back to w**k so I will talk to you all Friday or Saturday. Hope everyone has a good night and prayers for those in need.
