Hey Dr. John!!!! Glad to see you back. John, CSX doesn't have enough track to have problems. Buckeye gave me an Ohizo RR map. Seems NS has about twice the trackage that CSX has. Speaking of Buckeye, shot this picture of him and Chuck while I was in Ohizo.
Well, enough damage for one post.

This software is like the other one. Just ate a post.
BTW: Remember the thing I posted about Mystic Storm and the Lewis family scamming folks on Ebay and toy trains??? Well, just got a nice email from a young lady trying to find them. Seems he has scammed them [her and her boy friend] on Disney items. She is trying to locate them. Passed her all the info I had from the past post. Ebay should shut those folks down. That is why I have NO use for Ebay. Think they are PA folks. Maybe we should send Tony S over and take them out. Hope they get help and have good luck. Anyone with knowledge on them, pass it on and I will pass it to them.
Woud someone please get the Chief some new glasses!
Chuck, it is obvious he is in the sauce again tonight. Mrs Chief is out of town.

Yep, I think those 2 Rebels were his neighbors. Or maybe
his cousins. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Aww !! A Great night for family pictures !! Always good to improve our relations with the lower part of the Eastern states !! Here's a picture of The Chief playing Horse shoes, well, Southern Style !!
Yeah, probably an old map Buckeye wanted to unload !! Look how someone transports their dog !!
I can't wait to see what Buckeye & Chuck post !!

I always thought that Southern folks threw a bull instead of a horse shoe. Chief is good at throwing " Bull ". Poor dog.
Come on Chief, It has been months since Dr. John has posted and now you have probably scared him away for a few more months with that picture of your new neighbors.
John, I didn't know they had indoor plumbing in the South. Must have imported those horseshoes from Ohio. Oh, and BB is not going to like that last picture.
John : yes, BB has a real good owner !! We won't have to worry about her !! Those toilet seats are from Ohizo, considered a real luxury in other parts of the USA !!
Thanks, John, with CSX, " Moving America "

Morning all,
Glad to see the love being passed around here. Chief, just be careful when visiting such a crowd, they could pass along something really BAD The yankee horde is just waiting to have another war of northern agression. I think we can take 'em this time though. Anyway, have agood day and a good week everyone, We are heading to parts unknown but will visit every train store we find along the way.
God Bless,Dennis

Right from the mouth of a Dr.
Morning all. Dennis, have a great trip. Up and ready to trim shrubs. Wife was saying I waited too late yesterday and it was getting hot. Now I'm ready and she is asleep. Bet that is OK. Time for some coffee and GRITS. Chat later. God bless all.
Good Morning,
Smells like sweet corn outside, they began to pick it this morning. Seems early for here, but mabey not. Love the picture of the dog. Here's Brandy relaxing with her friends
Everyone have a good day, another hot one!
Dan
Good Morning from Blueberryhill............
It's 70 degrees already and going up to 92 today. Maybe some storms later in the day. Hot summer day.
Had fun last night on the " Coffee Pot ". I hope the Southern boys weren't offended with their pictures posted. Chief should wake up wife and let her trim awhile. Early morning chores.
Going grocery shopping today. Not regular day. Have some thing to do tomorrow. Will have to cut grass later in the week. Always busy. Evenings are nice, sitting in the shade.
Wonder what happened to the Weather Channel in Atlanta ?? Been out since yesterday. Love that program.
Y'all have a great day.
Chuck
Weather Channel is back....

Us Southerners cut it off to you Yanks.
HI GIZ,
Hot as H@#$ this morning, ran my 5+ miles and worked out got a good lather of sweat going. Going to hit 100 today?
Yesterday got some clear acrlic plastic and ripped it at 6 inches to put around the curves of the layout to prevent the trains from going of the table top incase of a derailment. Looks good at least you can see through it and it doesn't take away from the layout. Going to run trains and hook up some lights today.
All have a good one?
Stay COOL?

Good morning from a cool and sunny Chicago. Got a real 'gullywasher' of a storm pass through overnight - I watched it come in from the west like something out of War of the Worlds. Of course I had just spent the evening watering the lawn and trying to dig holes in our rock-solid dirt to put in a few of these solar-powered lamps the bride picked up. Talk about cheap: just a tiny LED - a solar chip - and clear plastic. Hope this after-rain coolness lasts a bit so I can enjoy it tomorrow - this being my long day. I've been running slow on the layout, heat-restrictions don't you know.
Salutations to Dr. John!

Still off today - have to take my son to the orthodontist. Have to get some new food for Chewy. We ran out of dry 2 days ago and the steady diet of soft food isn't good for her AT ALL! At least she kept her chewyrhea in the box.
If memory serves, today is the release date for my preordered Lionel docksider and caboose, transylvania livery!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Afternoon all!
Us sutherners enjoy hot weather and that is why we are sending triple digits to everyone!
This weather will allow more GRITS to be grown up nawth, facilitating the supply line and your enventual conversion.
Dave - great photos and reference - thanks again.

Believe it or not, it is warm but not blistering hot here in Central Ohio. 89 degrees at noon, but it is a dry heat.
Hot and humid again here in central PA. 90 degrees at noon, haven't checked since but predicted to go to 96.
Youngest grandson and I have been working in the air conditioned wood shop trying to finish up some projects for my church's food stand at the local fair in August. Making menu boards and a large box to store the tent between uses. Grandson is doing most of the work, I mostly supervise.
Laz, When do we see some pics?
Doug, I have six of those solar site lights around my fish pond. The are amazingly bright for one LED. They stay lit most of the night if they have a clear day to fully charge the battery.
Afternoon. Drying out. All the shrubs are trimmed. Got a couple of trees to trim tomorrow AM. Got to get the clippings up and shred them. Wife pooped out on me and she is 12 years younger. I finished up while she slept. I was trimming and she was getting up the trimmings. Some got piled for hauling but that was it. Now she says it is too hot. Only 96 and going to 100. Heat index is only 105. Well, I'll shower and get dressed to go to Lowes. Then nephew has birthday party at O'Charley's [at least it is not O'Hare's ]. Need to get to work on my track plan and transfer it to RR Tracks. Dryer has new belt [broke the other day]. Later
It's definitely summer. I'm enjoying the relatively "cool" 96 degrees in Prattville after experiencing 116 degrees in Phoenix, AZ last week. That was a tad too warm for me.Sure will be glad when fall gets here (about mid-November in central Alabama!)
