Good Morning Everyone !! Not much going on today, but may go to an antique boat show here today. Old cars will be there too ! This is a club from Akron with old wooden restored boats. Hope to get some pictures.
Chuck : that's right, The Chiefs Wife saved everyone in the house, plus the House & The Chiefs trains !! I think a nice Candle light dinner will be on the agenda, prepared by The Chief !!
Hope everyone has a nice weekend !!
Thanks, John
Almost forgot, I think I'm getting the Photographic mind that never developed !!

Morning. Been to pond. Now to Miss Edna's with bags of veggies. HOT AND HUMID ! Guys, how about a new Mud Room Floor [I call it porch and utility room] for $1,200 and a new leather couch [of course Burg the lab will stay on it ].
Bob M. Wife and gang are going back to Gettysburg this fall.
Got to go. Have a good day.
OH, BTW: Move to Roseyville and no flooding as we are on top of the big rock and the highest part of the county.

I didn't know that they could build landfills that tall. Another first for Roseyville.
Hey guys - been busy working this morning (overtime) and it is HOT in Arnold and St. Louis. Had a little rain last night here and there, but not at my house. Went to Michaels and picked up the Dead Man's Mine set for $37.50. Didn't think to try and get the 40 percent on top of that - not that smart! There are a bunch more sets I want. I think I want that Mausoleum now that I took a better look - did they pay the Phantasm guys a royalty on that one? (anyone? I doubt it, but that's what it looks like to me -- Just needs some silver balls flying around and an ice cream truck).
Thankful that Tom, Keith and Chief are okay and hope things get worked out fast. Praying for Lucas and Chuck to recover, and for the new baby to come already. Praying for Dr. John and his mom too.
Love the Cat in the Hat hat, Mike!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Well, just got back from the boat & car show here, & there were some really nice old boats there. Probably 20 altogether, & a lot of old Chris Crafts ! I took a few pictures for hear .
I like these horns !!
This is also down by a restuarant Buckeye has went to for supper before !!
Thanks, John , now I have to go to the store & pick up some sweet corn !!
Great photos John. I remember when I was a kid riding in the neighbors Chris Craft. Smooth riding boat.
There are still lodges in Canada that use wooden boats because they last.
Buckeye : thanks & another interesting thing about some of the bigger wooden boats is a friend of mine has to have his slung in the water every spring to make the wood swell back up & constantly pumped out, then it's ok ! That's of course an old cabin cruiser & takes it out of the water every fall. The fiberglass bosts need so much less maintainance, no wonder wood ones are rare now.
Good evening all,
It was hot and sunny with temps in the 90s today in SE Indiana. Took the 1st Armored Lawn Mower Division down to the daughter's to mow the yard. Since the second in command (Lucas) is on medical leave, I handled the entire operation myself. Fortunately, my daughter and her sister-in-law had done the mine-sweeping (sticks) portion of the task first. I got back in time to see the car show in Greensburg as well. Lucas is doing somewhat better today, but he still sleeps a lot, which is good.
Chief, I am glad you did not have an explosion at your place. To all the people with flood issues, I hope all dries out soon. I hope the group has an end to all the bad events that have been occurring. I hope every one had a good day and a better tomorrow.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana

Mitch, thanks ! It's funny you mentioned that movie, cause I thought of it too, when I took this picture, but didn't post it, thinking, I didn't want to post too many off topic pictures. This boat has an inboard motor & is very old, but that's all I know.
Evenin' All,
Well the temps have really dropped here, finally, but the air is so thick with humidity everthing feels damp. Come bedtime the A/C is going on to dry out the house a little and try to make it a little better for sleeping, unfortunately don't have a dehumidifier.
Need some help guys. Spent most all afternoon looking for a CSX caboose, Lionel 6-17632 the blue/gray model not the mow orange, but have had no luck at all. I've tried most all of the big box e-tailers that I can think of, the ones we see in CTT. If you can think of any possible sources please pass them along. Thanks
PS. Love them old wood hulls. To paraphrase Allan Jackson cant beat how they ride.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill...........
It is a foggy 74 degrees. Going up to a sunny 89. Humid. Rain never happened yesterday. I guess it all went North. They have a lot up by the Lake. Saw some video on Painesville and Eastlake. Bad.
Tom......How are you doing?? Saw the pictures you posted. Lots of water. I hope all is OK.
John (csxt30)....... I liked the boat pictures. Those old speed boats are neat.
Well, no one has posted any Sunday Photo Fun pictures yet. Guess it's too early. Everyone sleeping in. Today will be an easy day. Have a few things to do outside and relax in the shade. It's gonna be hot today.
Pretty soon it will be August 1st. The summer is going quickly. You have to take the time to "smell the roses". Have fun.
Off to the Dining Car and begin the day.
Y'all have a great day.
Chuck
Good Morning Everyone !!
Good Morning Chuck !! We're first today !! I actually posted earlier, where that guy needs help posting pictures, hope he gets it !
No rain here during the night either, & glad ! I may be heading up by Toms' later today or to the museum, if all goes well. We have a lot of fog here right now.
Hope everyone has a good day !
Good Morning All from NE Ohio
where the temp is 78 deg and headed to 91 deg with Blue Clear Skies and high dew points.
WE are doing OK. Now come the clean up and getting sorting thru things to see what is good and bad.
There is still area east of us that is under water. The Grand River in Painsville, Ohio is still over flood leave. This is about 10 mile east of here.
John, hope to see you later.

Since we've been getting some rain recently I decided to put down some fertilizer. I did the yard and about a third of the front lawn before the humidity started to get to me. As soon as the sun crested the trees the temp. shot up into the lower 80's and the humidity must have gone to 100%.
I still continue to "plank" the barn I have on the work bench for the layout. It almost seems a shame to put the effort in just to punch some holes and rip off a plank here and there to make it look run down. With the house I'm going to try to make it look like its been on fire by using a torch and then air brushing some soot on, hope I don't totally destroy it. I will have the torch in one hand and a spray bottle of water in the other.
Morning all. Been to SS and then checked the pond. Fed the fish [I take a bottled water bottle with top cut out and 3/4 full of fish food]. Now to Lowes with wife to sign the agreement for the tile job and then to one of her stores. Hot and humid.
Mike T, got some tiny hot peppers I wills end you.
Speaking of boats, here is one that never gets used.
Maybe in a few weeks.
Have a great day.
Hello everyone,
I did have a very good time down the shore, but I didn't get to go fishing, Jay wasn't down. I was going to log on when I got home Monday, but my mom's laptop crashed, so I didn't have internet access for 2 days. When she brought it home on Wed, she thought that the internet wouldn't work on it because they installed new software on it, but I hooked the DSL line up, and now the internet works.
My birthday is tomorrow, and I will be turning 16, at 8:45 am. I already got my main present, one that I have been wanting, and XBOX360. I got the good system, with the Hi Definition outputs, the wireless controllers, the hard drive, and 2 games so far. The other model had wired controllers, and no Hi Definition outputs, or a hard drive.
Talk to you guys later,
Colin
Colin, I will be out of town most of tomorrow without the laptop, but I want to wish you a very
Happy 16th Birthday!
It seems like it was only yesterday that the Chief was kicking your butt and teaching you the ways of the forum. Did you ever get rid of the short pants? Again Congratulations and hope you continue to hang out with us old guys on the forum.

Thanks Buckeye,
I am wearing shorts right now, and keeping them as a memory of my introduction to the forum. Oh, and I will continue to talk to the guys on the forum.
