I also have one of the doggie dinner reefers. Did you put the little cartons together that came with it? My wife and grandaughter did mine for me.
Calling it a night now.
They have patience that I couldn't even dream of having. I couldn't sit down to do them. I don't even know where the boxes are. The only thing I did for the car is put the ice in it.
It is getting really windy here now.
Good Morning All from NE Ohio
where the temp is 59 deg with overcast skies and light rain. I wonder where that came from?
Dennis - your family is in our prayers.
Special OTTS meeting today. Looking forward to meeting Roy.
NHRA Summer Nationals this weekend for those who have the need for speed.
Looks like I will be making alot of trips to Grand Rapits over the next few months for work.
Was Roy coming to Cleveland by Bus, Train or Plane?

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a rainy 56 degrees and only going up to 62 today. More rain. Looks like the South really got hit hard. Glad everyone is OK
Today is another inside day. A few projects to work on and maybe run trains later. Need to cut the back grass, but too wet.
We are getting the house ready for Daughter's family to arrive on Monday. They are coming down here for the day. It will be good to see them.
Well, nothing else is new here, so I am off to the Dining Car for breakfast. I will be back later.
Y'all have a great day.

HI GIZ,
At 8 0clock this morning we had 1.75 inches of rain not too bad. Now at 1030 its at 2.25 inches and still raining. Far cry from the 6 inches predicted earlier in week. High School football team won big 33-0!
JELECTRIC, I see ETOWN won last nite also. Good thing you didn't go maybe an omen.
CHIEF, glad to here water is going down on pond. How big is that buck? Maybe a YANKEE invasion to get some venison.
OTTS BOYS, keep and eye on ROY, check those tracks before he leaves for that white residue. Might gum up your tracks? I'd have him clean all those tracks with acetone. Hope you have fun ROY, enjoy your day and check out all those chicks that TOM has waiting for you at the bus station.
Stay dry.

Good morning from Fuquay-Varina, NC. Like the Chief says, the sun is out! Got a leaky roof that needs fixing. I had thought about visiting Miss Edna's, but just don't have time. I did pick up a few K-Line train cars the other day from Tom's Trains. Got a blue-green globe Southern Railway lantern that I need to put on my webpage. I'll post pictures when I take them.
Sorry I haven't been participating lately. I've just been too busy to keep up with the forum.
Later,

Good morning everyone,
Still rainy, and very windy here. The trees are blowing around like crazy right now. Glad to hear the Chief is okay.
Glad to hear that it is sunny in other area's of the country, you guys enjoy it.
Talk to you all later,
Colin
The difference a day makes. Son has been able to keep food down, so far. He is feeling much better, thanks for the prayers, they do work. "the prayers of a righteous man availeth much". Please keep my sister in law in prayers, she has a tough road with *** cancer.
I am in great spirits today as a great friend of mine called from a combat zone in Iraq. It is neat to get such a call, half way around the world in the middle of all that. He is in spec ops, but may be interviewed for "Good Morning America" as one of the reporters are with him and he is the commander. He asked if I wanted anything from Iraq, I don't think they have any O gauge, so I think I will have to settle on some Iraq money or something.
Also, when I got home last night, my Lionel B&O boxcar with Railsounds came. I took the kids up to run trains and make some noise with the new addition.
Have a great day!

Dennis, I'm very glad to hear your son is feeling better!
Good afternoon all,
I have spent most of this rainy morning working on the family web page which hasn't been upgraded for far to long. Had to relearn HTML!
Dennis, Glad to hear that your son is feeling better.
Laz, Yes we won. It was a close one from what I hear. Not a night to show off the passing game. Sounds like you got a little more rain than we did.
On the weather front, we have not gotten what was predicted, just checked the gauge a few minutes ago and we got 1.3" since it started mid-morning yesterday. Been a nice gently rain with winds, my estimate, of 25-30 mph.
Going to work on the web page a while yet and then take a few pics for SPF.
Colin, I can't believe a young guy like you would have a hard time with those little cartons. You better never switch to N gauge. Even an old guy like me was able to put a few together to show them how to do it.
Try to stay dry,
Its still raining here I took my dog for a walk at 1o'clock and we were up to 3.5 inches and its still coming down.
JELECTRIC, wow we not that far apart and I can't believe its still raining here.
Cleaned up basement and worked out with weights. Going to run my trains tonite.

If you are not nice, us REBS will get even.
Sunny here. Pond is almost back down to normal. Path dried up fast. Shows how dry it was. We've had a good breeze too so that helped dry out things. Will disk part of garden Monday and sow turnips. Cleaned yard and drive today. Will do a mowing job Monday before I leave town so it will not be too tall when I get back. Just picked up 6 BN bathtub gons at an excellent price [was selling 5 but he found an extra and sold it a big discount]. Got call from guy selling them on OGR. Really a nice guy. Goes by Boxerhouse. He's got some great buys on engines over there. Would buy them but got to build up train money as bought too much rolling stock this month. I think these will make about 25 bathtub gons with rotary couplers. Will go with my Lionel rotary coal tipple. Roy should be spreading the Southern "dust" around Yankeeland by now. later
Safe flight home, Marty
Hi,
Been raining here, on and off, all day. Every time I go out, it seems to know, and starts raining. Hmmmmmmmm.
Ran trains, for awhile, this afternoon. Had the MTH trolley running. I will end the trolley track, at both ends in the mountain. That way, no one will see it " bump and reverse ". It will run thru the town of " Blueberry ". At the end of the town is the " Hill ".
See ya later,

Holy Smokes !! Can you believe it ?? They still don't want any progress down there !! Not even trolley service !! How do they get around down there ? !! Well, we might have to go down & educate these folks !! I wonder if they have discovered the Bicycle yet ? !!
Well, got home from work a while ago, & work again tomorrow. By now, Roy probably got caught with the goods !! Hope all the OTTS guys that were able to go, had a good visit with Roy !!
Now, for a little work on my layout !
Hope everyone has a nice weekend !!
Thanks, John

It has been really crazy in the area the past few days. There is an escaped convict that has been loose for awhile. On Thursday night he shot 2 troopers in an ambush. There are now well over 100 troopers looking for him 24/7. There are 22 roadblocks around the area and at each one they have their guns drawn. On one road my daughter got stopped at 6 different road blocks in a 15 mile stretch. I hope they get this guy soon. We don't leave doors unlocked anywhere. I hope you all have a great holiday weekend. TomS
Tom : they think that guy may be in our area again. He was chased here in our area a while back by Pa. & Ohio police according to the newspaper today. I hope they get him soon too !

All dirty crooks stay in Ohizo. Wish they would shoot him on sight but they will not. They will catch him and he'll go to trial. He'll get life. Then somewhere down the road, he'll try for parole. Got a SHP shooter here in jail. He tries for parole and the community screams. One day he will slip out.
Been running post wars and the cheap little Penzy Flier. That sucker will smoke up a storm and pulls good.

And THAT, Folks, is how so many criminals escaped to the South, and formed towns like Roseyville, NC.

Well, that's what happens when innocent, honest, wonderful, shy, mild mannered, hard workin', American, highly educated, & the list goes on, go down there & get a wiff of dem dare Gritts & get all corrupted !! Sad !!
Soooo, you are saying that.....Roseyville is full of Damn Yankees and Raunchy Rebels. That figures.

That's what I'm going to do, Doug. A dog-bone, with the town in the middle and mountain at one end. I can get into the mountain, very easily. The portal for the trolley is on an angle, so you can't see into it. But the bumper is only 8 inches inside. I'll take a few pictures when it's done.
