Hi GYZ,

  54 and a rainy day here today.  Might have to run trains later?  All have a good one.

Stay frosty,

 Afternoon all. Gorgeous day here - never got online yesterday had a baseball and soccer game with the youngest, cutting and piling brush for pick-up, dinner with friends. Long day at church today serving as video director. Tough to help the middle boy out with a paper on such a beautiful afternoon.

Afternoon all, Went to TTOS Southwestern Meeting this AM but could not stay long account had to get home in time for church.  Not much of interest to me anyway but lots of stuff for sale.  Might take a look at the bay this afternoon against my better judgement.  Have a good week Y'all.

Well, I start an unintended one month vacation this week. Enrollment for my class did not rise to the point of meeting. Will miss the money, but will be nice to have some time to do other things. Went to a reception in honor of Dave Caplan this afternoon. Dave was the owner of the Train Works, Rich's and my LTS. Yesterday was the last day the store was open for business. I no longer have a LTS so will be doing purchases by phone and internet to satisfy my cravings.

I hope to get some work done on updating the train room this week. Happy May to all!!!!

Good Evening

A beautiful sunny day. I spent some time outside and also visited another birthday party. I passed  on the food so I would have room for ice cream and cake.

No trains today. Banilla is waiting for those who are ready. Brutus fire up the thingy..S.J.

Quick drive-by.

Wes - Congrats on the house! When can we expect to see track being laid for the much anticipated Buckeye To Wes's extension? (I didn't forget).

SJ - sorry for the confusion on the other thread. Thumbs Up

Good evening all,

It was a surprisingly nice day in SE Indiana.  Did not do much.  Tired.  Did go to the YMCA for weights and an outside walk.  Watched Housewvies.  Read the Watchmen Saturday night.  Good book and great movie.  I had bran muffins on the dining car.  Beacon is lit.  Practice at track starts Tuesday.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Rained here this afternoon.  Picked up some supplies from Home Depot for the basement, got home around 1:30.  Thought about taking a nap, but then we got a call and birthday party was moved up for our friends' kid, so did that instead.  Full of cake, but they didn't have any icecream!  Tardis is ready - ttfn!

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Well, two MTH diesels upstairs charging since 6 PM.  Hope that does it.  Batteries charging????  TMCC and Legacy do not need a battery. Whistling  Watched a movie and reclinerized.  Just woke up as Lucy needed to go out.  Lucy is a real card at the lake.  She has to be riden on the golf cart each time you take a break while doing chores/projects.  Also, as a last thing before going to bed at night.  She runs to the golf cart, jumps into the floor and up on the seat beside Dad.  Rides there.  Sometimes you return and she just sits on the seat waiting for another ride.  No golf cart riding in Roseyville.  She wants to go back to the lake house real bad.  Well. time to go check those engines.  One has a charging port so it is on my MTH charger.  The other does not so it is sitting [smoke and sound off] on a siding powered up.  

Good night all.  Sleep tight.  Don't let the bed bugs bite or the Ioway Flu get you.

PS: maybe time to start a new "Pot".  First of the month and so on.  ???????

 Good EARLY Morning

Up early as I have MUCH work to do at...WORK!

Friday night had early birthday celebration at Dave & Busters for the Princess, she turns 17 Thursday.  She got tickets to "Wicked", which she will see on Thursday.

Saturday was the last day for the LTS, like RR Charley said.  Lot's of people stopped by lots more spent money to help "clean out" the store.  There is more to be done, but most of the "work" has been completed.  Went out for ice cream later that night.  Like RRCharlies sez, I'll be looking more on the internet for stuff, now the store is gone.

Sunday had the memorial service, more like a gathering, I was early and stayed until last.  Went home and made roast beef, mashed potatoes and corn for dinner with Chicago style Italian bread.  Early bed time for me - so much to do.

It's about 58 now and going up to 85 later & partly cloudy.

Wes - congas on the home!

Laz - prayers for your family!

See ya later!

Good morning all,

It is partly cloudy and warmer today in SE Indiana.  Lots of meetings at work today.  Long day ahead and probably won't accomplish anything.  All pays the same.  I had bran muffins on the dining for breakfast and sent them to "Points East".  Also sending a second section to "Points North" as well.  Beacon will be lit after "Dancing with the Stars" tonight.  I hope everyone has a good day.  Track opens tomorrow.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Morning,

I spent most of yesterday repairing a crushed 3" drain pipe that my sump pump and gutters use to get to the street.  Apparently someone thought it was a good idea to plant a tree right on top of it.  It has been like this for a while.  When the sump pump ran, water flowed up out of the down spouts like old faithful...not a real good situation.  A couple hours of digging and PVC work later and all is fixed.  The joys of being a homeowner!

Have a great day, and thanks to all who have gave congratulations and even said a little prayer for us...we are very appreciative.

Wes
