MichRR714 Good evening Fellas...I'm back from the north. You are NORTH!!!!! Spent the weekend getting the cabin ready for the 4th and vacation next week. I caught a nice bass on Saturday after tuning up the fishing boat. I spent Sunday tearing apart a beaver dam and constructing what the DNR calls a "beaver deceiver". I'll let you know how it works out...if it doesn't Bill Ruger has a design that will I have a "beaver deceiver" and its called .17 cal HMR with polymer tip. Why all the "hulla balu" over beavers? They are considered nuisance animals here. Some still trap them in winter but fur prices are nothing. Shooting is recommended and Wildlife will dynamite their dams if causing damages. Good luck.

Wow, been reclinerizing for some time. Watched Two and A Half Men and laughed my sides off. Then went to sleep. Woke up when Lucy wanted to go out. Then called the west coast for a chat. Off to bed. 8N, sorry about the death. Prayers. Know that was a shock. They are saying Billy Mayes had heart problems and did not know it. Why everyone should get regular checkups and get heart checked. I am an example. By-passes and never had a pain or heart problem. Found by doing tests. Then Dennis does not have to get called in for an emergency.

Pat - prayers for your leg to get better
8nTruck - prayers for your family (extended and closer), sorry for the loss
Continued prayers from Chief's bride, JimSP's family, and all in need.
Got a weird letter from insurance. First, the doc wanted to send my wife to Barnes, but insurance said it had to be SLUH. So, we went to SLUH, now they say we will have to go to BARNES. Sheesh. Patient coordinator at SLUH is trying to figure it out for us, but it seems it has to do with the precise type of transplant they want to do.
Did haircuts Friday then shopped until bedtime basically for matching shirts for all of us. Saturday, we did family pictures and then my in-laws came to visit. We hung out all day yesterday, did a bbq and had some good visiting, then they left today.
Don, you are on - last stop though, guys want to see your neighbor's house Mike, you can drive and we'll set Pat up in the lounge. Have to borrow Chief's recliner again. I'll check in a little while and see if there are any more beacons, then head out. Ciao!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good Evening
Another nice day, kindy goofed off a lot but not all of it. Still no word from Brutus, he could be lost somewhere with the Tardis. Banilla is waiting...S.J.

Sorry to hear about all the losses ! It is never easy.
Sure like them maters Chief! They lookin good!
Installed a couple of signal lights over the weekend with the Lionel IR detector. Led's are really great, but can be a challenge connecting multiple units together, getting the polaity correct. But when they work they are great!
Also spent probably about 25 hrs working on various layout out scenerios for the club. Even got all the necessary vendor input, then at the last moment one Sr. Member says, No I'm against any change. Oh well, that's the way it goes. What gets frustrating is when you talk to individuals 1:1, they're all for it. Then in a meeting everyone seems to have forgotten what ever was previously discussed. Let's see how does it go ? "Pshaw" ?
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. (Sure wish I would learn that!)
Did get an update to the Sunday Photo Fun, of Buckeye's car. As normal late, but there nevertheless. Wil get the car off to Iowa tomorrow.
Need to go and check what else is still working on MY layout, since I did all the rewiring.
Hope everyone has a great evening. Tardis light is ON !

Audrey and I took advantage of a lovely morning to go for a long walk along some trails by the Thames River up here---by the time we got home it started to dribble---it has been showering and monsooning since--
I'm going through some photo boxes and finding everything but what I'm looking for---oh well

A 'cold' front moved through here Saturday night. Sat on the front porch and watched the thunderstorms for a while. Also enjoyed the change of air. 80's and lower humidity now.
My tomatoes look like green marbles. Chief, I'm jealous.
The plant is in summer shutdown, so it is really quiet. Working through my back log of work, in my windoless 2nd floor office. Sure would be nice to be important enough to have a 15th floor office with a view of the Chicago Loop AND Lake Michigan.
Some sad news. My daughter in law's brother died this morning. He was about 27. He was found passed out last Thursday, so he was put in ICU. High blood sugar, then his kidneys shut down, lungs started filling with fluid.......... No history of medical problems. This hit out of the blue.
Prayers to those in need.
Evenin' boys. Evenin' English. Pretty day here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Hope to take off early tomorrow with an experienced crew and go track down a Brazilian square master.

Follow Dr's orders. Get well soon.
Picked 5 gal bucket of cucumbers. Wife not making relish this year as we have plenty from last year. Giving them to two ladies that do pickles. Then I get jars from them free. Ran soakers yesterday and Sat. Now everything looks good. Need rain. Been lazy today. Sawed down one small tree and hauled it to the pond area.
Later.
Good afternoon everyone. First things first. John, sorry for the step sister. Will add you and the family in my prayers for peace and comfort. Doug, one of our friends from school was visiting Chicago and attended one of the satellite centers of your church last Sunday. Their daughter was at a conference and I think your pastor was a speaker there. Chief, nice thing you are doing for Frankie. Sure he appreciates it.
Well, I am on call, so I came in a little later than usual. Not much going on, just had to deal with the state medical board paperwork....they need to adjust some wording in a new law that was passed. Coming in late did allow me to go shopping with the wife and kids while the maid handled the house duties. When we got home, my head was aching and my neck was stiff from arthritis. I guess that is why I don't need to do much of that shopping stuff....unless it is for trains. Amazing what we can do when we have a vested interest.
Hope everyone has a great night.

"Youall" have grass that far North? Bought a new JD. Got rebates on them now and 12 months same as cash. Better rush to the JD dealer and get one. Be sure to get the hydrostatic transmission. Great. Its just like the one I bought last fall for the lake house. Frankie is getting my old one [2003 model] which is just like these except hood is changed. New ones have the "flush" attachment to the deck to wash out the wet grass stuck underneith. Works too. Time for tomato sandwiches. Later
Morning all. My condolences, John and prayers for your step-sister's family. I've got a new 15ht flr. office that looks over the South Loop and even Lake Michigan. Lucky me. Fife, I thought you were taking care of my work whilst I was out. It's still here. Maybe you're still working on it.

ChiefEagles kpolak Looo Kooo Koooo Koooo...coo...Koooo Koooo Koooo! Heading to the great white north today! Finally admitted it. Loves the white because it reminds him of GRITS. Chief I underlined the important word for you Spent the afternoon on 65' dinner cruise on the Mississippi. Suprise birthday for AiL, not one with cancer. Great Prime Rib dinner! Kids had fun too! Fife: Now I have the boat itch.....too. Just because you are on the mighty "Mississip" does not mean you are a Southerner. Again don't think he even was trying it a northern thing you wouldn't understand Kurt Morning all. Lower temps this week and lower humidity. Thinking about buying a new John Deere rider for the house here and giving older one to Frankie. My old 15 year old Murray I gave him several years ago has about had it. Got errands to run. Chat later.

Good evening,
Just checking in to try and catch up. Sounds like Jon is home from his ride & Doug is home from "vacation". The Chief is growing lots of tomatoes & Pat had some health problems but is on the mend. Hope everyone else is doing great.
I'm doing fine, but it was not a good week end as my oldest step sister passed away in her sleep Thursday night. The funeral will be on Wednesday. She has had some health problems, but this was totally unexpected.
Have a great week.
Evening All
Strange weather, London On. is just a little east of us, they had rain and we had a beautiful summer day. Well one never knows. No breaking news here just enjoyed the day and took a short trip to see # 1 son. Also I did get in a short train run this morning. Banilla is waiting...S.J.
Evenin' boys. Evenin' English. Had a nice 4 hour sail this afternoon, including a few tacks around a Norwegian Cruise Ship. Family had a nice time, and we got real good with our return to the slip this time.
Got my new 6-pack of WESTERN MARYLAND hoppers, as well as a WM TOFC car...all form MTH.
cnw1995 - Welcome back. That stack of work on your desk...yeah, no one took care of it cuz they wuz all jealous...
Good evening all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 80s. Heat and humidity have left for a while. We went to Mass, and I went to the YMCA and did weights. Watched the US almost beat Brazil in the Confederation Cup. Did some edging on the sidewalks and sprayed some more weeds. I had the regular fare on the dining car for breakfast. Beacon is lit and I can drive again unless some one else wants to take over. I hope everyone has a good day.
We stayed in pretty well all day doin things like track laying--
The rain started in the morning and just started to let up about a half hour ago. We had a 2 hour t'under boomer letting loose all over us with hail, monsoon and wind as well---so far the strongest gust I see on the monitor was 95kmh----
I'm out on the deck doing the Salmon on the grill now----gotta take advantage of any time you git----
Have a good evenin'
Doug, welcome home. I thought that place you were staying at sounded like the Sheraton Waikiki. We stayed there the first time I went to Hawaii. It is a beautiful place. You can stand in the lobby and feel the trade winds blowing though from the ocean. We swam both in the ocean and the pool while there. They used to have some night time entertainment beside the pool for guest and a buffet dinner served in a dinning area above the pool. Sounds like you had a great time. That Sheraton is my favorite place to stay on Waikiki.
