Morning!
Brutus: Let the mud dry before using the sponge. Ring out as much water as you can, and wipe the dry mud to get it damp, then wipe down in circles to feather the edges. The sponge has a rough side to knock down the bad areas.
Drywall and painting today if the weather cooperates.

Oh, contrare'. Police very amused. My squad would've drawn straws to see who gets that "trophy" shot...
Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the low 80s. "Desperate Housewives" was good again last night. I had the usual fare on the dining car this morning. Wife is working as a "sub" every day this week. She will be one tired puppy by the end of the week. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Morning all. Was awaken by loud barking from a small voice. Burg [asleep on his bed in my bedroom] was not amused and neither was I. Coffee and breakfast. Meetings today and tonight. Same for tomorrow. Planning to go to the lake Wed and spend one night [at least]. Sure is a beautiful day. Have a great week.
BTW: Rock is almost to his 1,000. Rock, you don't have a biege KIA do you. If so, it was you I followed from Petersburg VA to Henderson NC on I85.

Good Morning,
Had a couple of short down pours, maybe the rain will stop for the day. Otherwise WPB FL should be sunny near 85 again.
Over the weekend went to see the movie Beverly Hills Chihou(excuse the spelling on this one please!, chi-woo-wa), very good movie, a bit of a comedy. Would tell you more but that will give away some good stuff.
Neigbor claims they are going to cut down two big trees near my property line, the one I would even help pay to cut down if he wants as that is how much I want this tree down.
Still have the racoon problem, going to call animal control on him this week, not legal to shoot an animal in my neigborhood(to discharge a firearm is illeagle{why does it always have to be a sick eagle?}).
MIAMI Dolphins won again!! Hopefully the Dolphins will go to the playoffs.
Working on upstairs project, painting walls by stairwell landing and plastering around the windows. Figured I would use my time wisely while waiting for the Directv person to show up, no show as it rained all day saturday. Don't know if I will have cable for the whole week or not, if not no problem as I don't watch that much TV.

Hey boys,
Cloudy up to 80 with showers/rain today. Had a great day on Saturday, next Saturday I'll be hooking up LEGACY and a TIU (2 separate layouts). Looks like fun.....
Made Italian sausage for a "pot luck" shower/reception yesterday, made 5 lbs of sausage with sauce, 3 pieces were left after the party...wife made Ziti and that was half gone.
How 'bout them NY Giants!! 4-0, but have a ways to go. NHL starts on Friday (for me, at least), Devils on the Island - Free NHL Preview this week and I can't wait!!!
Cleaned the train room last night, I got the wiring to hook up my mainline crossing. Now just need time.
See ya later!

Mornin' All.
Been up for awhile, arthritis wouldn't let me sleep so I figured mite as well put on the coffee and get the laundry going. Still tired from the museum on friday and the munchkin here yesterday, came out early for some of grampa's bacon waffles afterwards it was "Thomas Time".
PS. Chief, Don't know how you keep up with all the runnin' you do.

Good Monday morning everyone. I am off call, but we have a lot of cases to do. I will be here till dark....again. Anyway, did a case this morning that my wife is friends with the daughter in law. Case went fine, but it is always worrisome as you don't want Murphy (not doug) and his laws from showing up.
Well, I hope the day is great for each of you.

Howdy gents! Doug-D-G -- hope your arthritis is better now. My neck is better today and it was killing me all day yesterday. Oh well, just another manic Monday. Gave up my vacation days I had scheduled for 10/15 and 16 since I can't make that trip this year. Maybe next year. Sir James, have you seen the keys to the Tardis?
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good Evening from Blueberryhill....
Today was a cloudy day. 72 degrees. Cool tonite.
I was busy today. Monthly paperwork. I did some walking and it felt good. Leg muscles are getting stronger.
Still have not gotten to the train room. That is one of my goals. Those trains are getting dusty. Need to run.
Had the usual on the Dining car this morning.
I hope y'all had a great Monday.
Chuck
HOWDY
Brutus yes I saw the keys.
Doug you must have saw the Det/Chi game sunday,now you see why I have my best nap on sunday afternoon. They just fired the manager about a week ago and five years to late. Now they need to find a new mgr. who can bring in new players and get a team back together. I predict a new mgr, will be looking for a new head coach also. Went to THE store today they got the MTH G gage GG1, its huge. They are getting bits and pieces but no nice engines, nobody seems to know whats going on....S.J.
Beautiful day in Buckeyeland today.
Visited the dentist today for the new crown.
Took out the garbage.
Monday's done.

Got home at a decent hour today. Did 3 hearts and was able to come home and fix the dryer before SWMBO had dinner ready. First time in the last two weeks I made it home for dinner at dinner time. I have had to re-heat my meals every day lately.
Been reading some older magazines that I had won recently. Also watched a DVD on SCL, ACL, FEC and some others on early 60s railroading. It was nice, but I still prefer steam. The Satelite is down and Direct TV is aware. Not sure what the problem is, but it is the whole system with certain DVR/HD set ups. I wonder if they will reduce the charges this month.
In the movie realm, it is still doing well. NY Times did a piece on our church and also had done a nice review on the movie when it first came out. As of this weekend, it grossed over 12.5 million. When one comes to think that God uses people in their weekness, so He gets the glory, we must be very week.....humbling experience. Anyway, I get all these calls and emails from folks who have seen the movie. I call my parents to ask if they have seen it and what they think....They haven't gone. Oh well.
I am really looking forward to the next CTT. I need some train material!
I hope everyone is OK. I missed the part about arthritis and neck pain.....I suffer with both. My neck is fused in three places and I have degenerative disc as well. Makes for some interupted sleep and lots of headaches. I have one now, so I'll sign off.
God Bless,

Laz, That's not a quake, now this is a quake:
The U.S. Geological Survey said Monday's first quake measured magnitude 6.6 and struck at 4:30 p.m. 50 miles west of Lhasa, more than 1,600 miles from Beijing.
The second temblor measuring magnitude 5.1 hit about 15 minutes later, some 60 miles west of the Tibetan capital, it said.
Now that would really mess up the house.
Just a quick note: Been having lots of email problems. Hope everyone is doing well.
Don
SORRY DON, DOUGDG, AND SPMan. Red Sox take the Angels in 4.
DougM.......Cubbies and White Sox have died, losing 6 of 7 playoff games between them. RIP until next year. Having been born and raised in Chi-town, it was my hope that Boston would square off against one or both this Fall.
Rich, Lee, Mel, and the rest of the Florida boys.....see if you can get some Rays fans to show up for the ALCS in Tampa between the Rays and the Red Sox. The attendance is embarrassing. What's with that? The Rays are the real deal.
34 and frosty here to day to get to 66. Watched DA RAYS win!. All of HAZLETON, Pa. is a happy place. JOE MADDON is manager of the RAYS and HAZLETON native, I played football with him in HS. Wish him all DA LUCK. Ran trains for a hour last nite. Got my LEGACY back from LIONEL. They sent me a new Cab 2 and put all my engines in it KUDOs Lionel!!
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 70s. Did some more housework and errands last night. Watched some of "Dancing with the Stars". Wife had it on and I am sort of like a deer in the headlights when the TV is on. She says I would watch test patterns and I probably would. Slept well last night, but right eye is hurting for some reason. Can't quite figure it out. Practiced with "my" soccer girls last night. I hope they get their act together before next Tuesday. I had the usual fare on the dining car this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Sunny and 48 going to the 60s, Dr at 9:15, oh joy. Have some things in mind for today but never know how a dr. visit will go. Enjoy your day....S.J.
EDIT: It's time for the ole folks home, Dr. appointment is tomorrow not today as I thought. Never checked the calander, wife wanted to know where I was going, just remembered a tuesday appt. there is one:next week. Oh boy I must be near the bottom of that hill we go down so fast.
Mornin' boys. Sunny & 43 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Hey Chief, I too spent the better part of yesterday cutting back the 2 blue cedars that bracket the front door. They are 20 feet tall and their little needles bite! Had to do so to finish painting front of house. Will scrub down walls, remove shutters, and take down flower boxes.
Did take a little time out for the layout yesterday. Finished painting, etched in some cracks and fisures, then adding some black washes to my concrete retaining walls.
They're still playing baseball... I totally lose interest at the first kick-off on Ravens opening day. Perhaps MLB would be better served by ending season by LABOR Day...

Because the keyboard is shaking so much from quakes.
Morning all. Fifey, too much work. At least your feet are getting back to normal instead of rounded from standing on a ladder rung all the time. Nice fall like morning . Going to haul off the trimmings and then go to the lake for a day or two. Rain coming in Thursday and may be off and on thru Sat. Also want to dig out hole and put in base [sand, the stone and then cement in pipe] for American flag at the Lake House. Let it set up for a while and then mount pole and flag. Have a good one.
