Toy train operating and collecting

Good Evening

Windy cold day. Stayed in the 40s.

No more news from Charlie but I am sure all is well.

We did vote and shop, then spent the rest of the day at home. I shall wait for the Tardis, banilla ready...S.J.

Good Evening all

It is a beautiful evening out tonight.

Brent – Prayers of thanksgiving that it was not as serious as it could have been.  I feel your pain.  Many scars and stitches from accidents over the years.

Thank you all for your prayers, and we will need more of them.  Well, I’ll catch you all up on what is going on.  Our eldest daughter got messed up with oxycotton and went into rehab this past February.  That is when the grandkids moved in with us.  She got clean and as we have now found out, started using again about a month ago.  What tipped us off was money missing from our bank account.  We had her arrested and her parole officer says she will go back into rehab or jail.  We are going for custody of the kids, we are their guardian now.  They kids are our priority and our daughter is the only one who can choose to make a change in her life.  She will need our continued prayers.

God can make good come from even the most evil situation.  We will find the good here too.

May God bless

Jim

 Hello all,

Another quick sip before bed, Decaf please.

Charlie -Congratulations,

Brent-Wow, that could have been much worse.

Brutus- Good news, keep up the pressure. They may try to delay.

Phish- continued prayers

Anjdevil- a good Mom is hard to keep down.

Started picking corn. Crop seems well but a touch on the moist side. about 25% picked and the crib for our use is full. The rest is cash.

Beef went to the butcher yesterday. I'm in the market for four yearlings. Got to clean the freezer before next Saturday. There will be meat to wrap.

I'm off to bed

Prayers for all who may need them

The nurse's comment in the ER-"Power tools, right?" reminds me of a true story about my Dad. He worked 44 plus years for the NYC in the Track Department. He and the crew were working on a turnout at a junction when he managed to do a major number by smashing his thumb.

The nurse said, "Well Mr. Hazen, How did you hurt your thumb?"

Dad's response, 'I was cutting the nuts off of a frog."

The nurse asked no more questions!!!

Good evening all,

Normally I don't post at night, but there is too much news not to comment on.  Charlie, congrats on the new addtition!  That is good news indeed.  Brent, I'll take the over (+70) and thank God you were not hurt worse.  Thanks for the update.  Jim, prayers for your daughter.  That stuff is nasty to kick.  Believe me I know how dangerous it is.  Brutus, glad to hear some progress on your wife's situation.  I know there are some others with situations as well, but I can not recall them all. 

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Evenin' All.

Charlie, Big Congrats !

Brent, I'll go for 101. You know like in "Power Tools 101".

Traffic circles in West Texas in the 60's were crazy.

for all in need.   

Bed time.  Election went outstanding.  Now have majority on Wake County School Board. 

No calls from Brent so I guess he has his own drugs.

Good night all.

Mid 60's and sunny here today.  I really enjoy this time of year.  Found it very hard to go back into the plant after lunch....

Brent - what some people won't do for a little attention and unusual clothing!  Take care of yourself while you are healing.

Super Streets - Detroit is already half way there with their turn right and U turn to go left system.

Congratulations Charlie.  'No childhood is complete without a train.'  I think you said this was going to be a C section.  Hope mom is doing well.

Lots of life's ups and downs lately.  Prayers for those who need them.

Later.

Mornin' boys.  Mornin' English.  Mornin' Peg.  Sunny & 34 here in the Mid-Atlantic region.  Gonna run the littlest princess to choir practice in a moment.

MichRR ----> .  PM 1225 would be most appropriate.

anjdevil - No sutures...SUPER GLUE and duct tape.

88 - The boys back at the shop are designing kevlar whities just for you.

Good morning all,

It is cloudy, rainy and cooler in SE Indiana with temps in the 40s.  Watched "V" last night.  I will give it a few more weeks before deciding "Yea" or "Nay" on it.  It does have some hotties on it.  I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast before sending it to "Points East".  Eleven touches with the soccer ball again last night.  Have to work on consistency.  TBIL.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Good Morning

Overcast and coool almost cooold.

For a small group of friends we sure have a lot of mountains to climb. Prayers to all in need.

Eggs corn beef hash and one toast this AM. Going to the credit union to buy a CD but the rates around here are an outright insult. Enjoy your hump day....S.J.

 Mornning.  Crisp morning but warming.  Haircut and 4 Runner emissions/safety inspection.  Now go renew plate and one for Ranger trailer.  New thing in NC.  Have to have inspection done just before renewing plate.  Off to gym right now.  Then go to Lowes.  Paying neighbor [he has been approved for SS disability without a lawyer] to help get up leaves [mainly to let him earn his financial assistance from me].   Good guy.  Keeps garden going all summer.  Disked it up and gave him turnip seeds and fertilizer.  Got a good crop of turnips and spinich going.  Even though he can not have a regular job due to his wound [from home invasion being shot] still not healing, he will still get out and do things.
