Home again. Lucy and I are home from the lake. Got to get ready to go toSIL's for MIL's cookout. Seems middle sister is missing. She went to Bike Week with boyfriend [which is a No No]. Beth called [Second Wife, Pam's buddy] and she is not going. Oh well, should have stayed at the lake. Later

Hey guys - just got through the emails and thought I'd post early today. Probably going out to eat dinner tonight, although I stopped on the way home and bought fixings for a nice dinner tomorrow - big boneless pork chops, taters, etc. Bought some garlic in oil to make a marinade for the chops.
Went to leave this house this AM at about 5:30 and noticed something odd. Hmmmm - someone took my garden hose and tied it across the street just up from my house between a sign on one side and a post on the other marking a gasline. It was just the right height to do some damage to the grill on a car or truck and maybe yank out one of the signs? I untied one side and left it for the police. Got to work (had to make it by 6) and called my wife to tell her about it. She waited until everyone was up and kids were out playing in the yards around here and called the police. They came and made a thorough investigation, checked all around the house, checked out the remaining paint spatters from the attack last fall on the cement foundation, made an official report and got names and houses pointed out to them as well. They will up their patrols on our street and see what happens. An official report was filed and if there is actual damage to property next time (hose was okay) they will start questioning the neighbor kids, based on our leads from last year.
Stopped at my parents' house on the way home over in Kirkwood and Mom was out, but Dad was home helping one of my nephews, who was mowing his lawn. Dad was doing great! He was alert, seemed in really good spirits, and he was out doing stuff and not dragging or winded, as he had been just a few weeks ago. He has a way to go, but overall things have really worked for the best considering! He already got his VA exam for his compensation claim, we got that filed as soon as they said "heart" since he has been diabetic for about 25 years. It won't change his payments now, when they service connect it, but will make a difference in years to come.
Well, gonna kill some zombies before we all go out for dinner, so TTFN!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
That took some doing to set-up, Brutus. Glad you noticed it. Back from freezing at soccer. Got the last items for mom's day. Visited Hobby Lobby - nothing interesting in the train section. Everything expensive. Bride just entered Indiana, making good time back. Daughter was recruited this trip to play NCAA D2 lacrosse for the college team. Met coach. Suppose to sign letter of intent and everything. She's played for a club team in HS. Hmmm. Have to learn more of this. Middle boy just showed up with a new girl-who-is-a-friend - former neighbor. Knew her as an infant. Her sister was daughter's best friend. That's always weird. Going to run trains...

Evening all!
Brutus: What a bunch of nuts you have there. I hope they catch them. Beacon is on!
Not much today. Swim lessons this am...one week to go. Ribs turned out ok. Bride called yesterday about noon, and said she wouldn't be home for dinner...so I postponed the ribs until lunch today.
Date night. Maybe Star Trek!?
Church sound in the am.

Back from confirmation which means I can skip church tomorrow.

Hi all from Beautiful Southern Ohio
It is really nice out. Low humidity, high 60's and sunny. I helped at two services today, first at Conformation then Saturday evening Mass where I gave the Homily. Tomorrow two services and a Baptism.
Our youngest daughter is up from Cincy, and the oldest is getting a pass for Mother's Day. I am playing with my grandson and he just beat me in chess. Not bad for 6. I just taught him how to play a few months ago and we play about every other day.
He want's another piece of me, so I'll check back in later
May God bless
Jim
Good evening Y'all! Wife is out with her mother as she is buying her something for "mother's day". Easier to do that than find something she'll return anyway. They are here this weekend as it was daughter's recital today. She did well. We then went to a new mexican restaurant that some friends own. Was nice all the way around. Tonight, the Chinese teacher for the kids stopped by as she returned from her annual trip there and brought some presents for the kids and the bride. Real nice folks.
Spent the better part of the morning trying to get some tractor work done. Today was the only day to do it as the rains are coming tomorrow afternoon and are expected for much of the week ahead. I know we need the rain to get the lakes/reservoirs up to level, but we like it a little more spread out. Oh well, God'll take care of us.
Hope everyone has a great week ahead.
God Bless,Dennis

Good evening all,
It was windy in SE Indiana today. Oldest daughter was down today with her family for wife's birthday. Lucas and I reffed one soccer game. Time trials at Indy went as expected. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

A crazy weather day, sun, rain and wind, 60s.
No trains today. I thought about it but never got there.
Banilla is ready, waiting for Brutus and the thingy.

Back from MIL's Mother's Day at SIL's. Good food. Beef loin cut into individual steaks, buttered shrimp, baked potato and salad. Strawberry [fresh] shortcake for desert. Still would rather have been at the lake house even if I had to eat Beanee Weenees [hickory smoked] and Viennias. Lucy agrees. Big storm came through with lots of strong winds. Very little rain. Maybe more later. SIL lost power for a long time. Lots of little limbs and leaves all over the pad here at Roseyville. Guess what??? Got another sinus cold. Off to bed for me. TIRED. Have a good one. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the Moms.
Night Chief ... and take care !! I'm the last one out of the tardis and have to gather up the beer bottles ... LOL . Power off ... in shutdown mode ... still can't find that bottle of sweet tasting wine with the special flavor ... darn it .... think Laz drank it all ....
Sunny, low 70's here today. Morning trip to Lowes for plants - hanging ferns, habinareos, tomatoes, and some herbs. Planted the tomatoes, peppers, and hrebs, did some weeding, worked on the mower, mowed the lawn, worked on the mower some more.
Was a nice evening too. Built a fire in the fire pot and read on the deck for a while.

Happy Birthday, CHUCK!!!!!
We hope you have a great day!!!
Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Sunny & 57 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Gave wifey an 8' tall christmas palm tree yesterday (she loved it!). I named it "Benji" in honor of the VI taxi driver who returned our camera. I assure you, no other lady got a palm tree on our street, and they are all jealous...
dbaker - Who needs cable when we can get TVLand on your front porch...EMERGENCY (Gage& Desoto) on one side of the street, and CHiPs/ADAM 12 on the other.
dwiemer - Need help with that tractor...?
Blueberry ---> How 'bout that Mark Martin lad?
jonadel - Bay forecast for Wednesday is sunny & 69, with 5mph winds...
To all of you Mothers out there, enjoy your day!
Morning all. Buckeye beat me to it Chuck! The girls returned from Ohio and bought me....a buckeye. Happy Mothers Day to moms out there. Beautiful day here. Canceled brunch reservations as the bride prefers to hang around the house.. Maybe we'll go to dinner when the daughter comes home from work. Trying to let her sleep in. . .
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUCK !!!! KEEP 'EM COMING
Don
Good Morning
Hmm it appears to be Chucks birthday, so Happy Birthday to you.
Sun is up but chilly this morning. I am laying in wait for our two sons to visit their mom today. Got work for them. I need to move the boat off the patio and onto the front driveway. I wanted to leave it where it is since I don't plan on using it but I was outvoted 1 to 1. wife won again.
I hope all you mothers have a nice day and the wives too...
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms
It is a beautiful day. 65 degrees. Sunny. Clear skies. Going up to 72 today with sunshine.

TOOTS I mean Chuck. Many more to come.
Slept till 8:30. Needed that. Feel a lot better. Now off to Mom's down east for a visit and then back home. May go see retired pilot buddy this week. Have not been in ages. Then come back and "hit" the lake. Hope all have a great week. God bless all.
Happy Birthday Chuck!
Back from Church...Bride's tired, kids are sick.
Saw X-Men, Wolverine last night...It was ok...
Sounds like Bride's idea of Mother's Day is to stay on the couch...so be it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUCK!!! 67-------two more and you can stop counting, or better yet, start repeating---69 comes after 69, comes after 69, comes after 69.
And Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers. I lost my Mother 16 years ago and will always miss her.
The kids are coming in, time to fire up the BBQ.

Unless you are cooking pork, then you have used a YANKEE term for the grill. In the SOUTH, Bar-be-que is PORK and a grill is what you cook chickens, steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs and pork on.
Back from Mom's down east. Now to go check the pond and then run some trains and get a picture Kurt's pretty orange box car.

Darn those YANKS, one of the few things they know how to do is brain wash you! I should wash my mouth out with soap and have time out in the corner for 1 hour. On the other hand, I think I will just change the menu to pork.
One thing about a southern boy, he don't make the same mistake twice!

Fortunately I have lived all my life in the North, and I have never heard of such nonsense. A grill is a grill, gas or charcoal.

sorry chief I was brought up in the north and it was always on the grill for cooking chicken,steak,burgers, ect bar-ba-que was either bar-ba-que pork or beef and when you had those super big grills that they would use at church, ect funtions and seems to me I remember hearing it that way in VA., and FL when I lived there. Oh yeah we had what we called a bar-ba-que pit also it basicly was a brick grill with chimney in the back
Evening all. Not to much going on just got home from work did 4 hours of OT tonight.
Hey DJSpankey watch out getting to chumsey with patrick yeah he'll let you use his truck but then you'll have to eat some grits with him for dinner with fried chicken and all. He do anything to get a yank to eat grits
Well catch you all later need to up load some pics sent to me and put them in SPF.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

The Chief is right. In Eastern North Carolina, Bar-B-Que is a noun. In the other parts of the country, it is a verb. I'm off to grill some hamburgers tonight on my gas grill. I'd rather be eating Bar-B-Que but I'm too far from North Carolina

Spankey is moving to Virginia BY CHOICE. He will be easier to convert to grits and sweet ice tea. Some others (RT) may take a little longer.
My truck runs on Grits, gets 72 miles to the Gal., costs $0.37 per Gal. and lasts for 400,000 miles. Makes it easy to offer a friend the use of the truck.
