Evenin' All.
Good day at the museum, quite a few visitors especially school groups. Everything unpacked and put away or back on shelves for next adventure. Local tv station is doing a live remote broadcast next tuesday. Have to be there very early to get everything ready for a 7:30 am show.
The better half is taking part in 24hr cancer walk tomorrow, got most of her munchie & meal supplies packed and ready to go. Slice tomatoes early in the morning for their burgers is the only thing left to prep, then finish packing the cooler and load it all in her car. After that I get to go to the all gauge train show & sale.
Later all, I'm pooped.

Good Evening
A humid day, around 80 I think. It's raining now but no thunder YET. Had a busy day, hauled some file cabinets out of the church and gave to friends. No I did not steal from the church. They wanted them out. Never knew those things were so heavy. OK then some more cleaning in the train room and another spot looks better now. Not over yet, went out to Another steak house tonite with # 1 son and his wife. Fathers day dinner from them.
Kurt, how were things in my old home town, it's changed a lot but boy the memories. I am full again so will skip banilla but it's here for those who ride the thingy tonite. Maybe a cupcake or two still left as well....S.J.

Good evening all,
It is looking like rain again in SE Indiana with temps in the HOT range. Just spent a wonderful evening Thursday with my Norwegian soccer friend, her girlfriend, and the "saucy wench" (no offense to Lisa and the other ladies who pop in every now and then, but the place was dripping with estrogen lol). They are going to be playing on the same soccer team in Norway and I cannot wait to see some more "action" shots of them on the pitch. I ran the 384E this morning in the attic before it got too warm and her girl friend was very impressed with the trains. Today I went to the YMCA to do weights and soccer juggling. We went to a very impressive demo of TRAINZ software where some one had recreated the Greensburg rail yard in the 1950s with NYC steam. Hard to believe the yard had seven sidings and the line was double tracked from Indy to Cincy. Greensburg had a five stall roundhouse at one time. Watched my soap operas and went to the historical society as well. I had bran muffins on the dining car this morning for breakfast. Beacon is lit and I can drive all night if needed. I hope everyone has a nice day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good evening! Spent the whole day in meetings. Some exciting stuff coming down the road regarding surgical cases. Turning a lot of conventional wisdom on it's head. My brain is about fried. While I have been in meetings, the family has been at the beach and the pool frying in the 100+ temps here. We are heading out to eat and then to the beach so I can get my feet wet for a change. More meetings till Sunday, then home.
Bob, check with your MD regarding the meds you are on. Some, like Atenolol are often better taken at bed time. Depends on your situation and the other medications you are on. Taking medications at the right time can make life a lot easier. You don't want to take something that will make you drowsy in the morning, etc.
Chief, good luck trying to bring that box up if its down there. May need to borrow a grappling hook from the FD to pull it up.
Brutus, continued prayers. God Bless,Dennis

Afternoon!
We made it! Looked like the rain just ended as we entered Snohio. Nice and sunny 80 degrees at the Zoo! lots of tired people there. Nice new Neighborhood exhibit for the kids! Next week is Lucas county Free week, so there will be crowds.
Quiet evening planned after going out last night for dinner, and Summer Festival live music and dancing.
Kurt
Sounds like something from Alice's Restaurant with Arlo Guthrie. Maybe the Roseyville PD will take some 8X 10 glossy pictures when they drag it out and get the helicopter out to give bigger news coverage. Maybe it's the monster planted in the lake by Ernest T. Bass.
SPMan
Chief, that's a nice looking garden. I don't see any butter beans or okra in there yet? We used to grow butterbeans and let them climb strings strung between an upper and lower wire attached to poles. My grandmother planted red potatoes too but would dig them up when they were small. She cooked them whole and put some kind of glaze on them. Wish I knew what it was.
Ray
Not me growing but a buddy. Look outside the fence of garden pictures and you see green. Tobacco about half grown.
Off to the lake with Lucy.

ChiefEaglesGot to go to pond with boat. Checking with depthfinder for a newspaper box. Saw where something had been drug under cable and down to pond. Mentioned it to Chief of PD. He said newspaper box stolen a couple of nights ago. Sure the "Jones gang" dumped it in the pond.

Chief - CATION! Could be a Yankee grit destroying bomb!!
Are you growing Tobacco? Where can I see the picture?
RT - Early Congrats on the 25th.
Don - I liked your night picture on another thread.
A lot of posts today about rough weather. Building up to major storms here tonight. I better turn the AC down and fill water jugs in case we loose power.
Brutus - I will flip Mike to see who drives the Tardis tonight. Should be fun with all these storms.

Good Morning
Thunder woke me early this morning. It's gone for now but more expected later. If Kurt goes to the zoo early he might make it.
Nice chat with the guys last night, of course they kept me up later than I wanted to be but thats ok. No breaking news here at the SJ house so I will wing it today...S.J.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a nasty weather day. Heavy rain. Lots of thunder. Started out with thick fog and then the rain came. It is suppose to get worse. Hail and strong winds.
This is an indoors day.. Maybe run trains later, if the electric doesn't go out.

Y'all have a great Friday.

Coincidence? ...I think not!

Good Morning from Southern Ohio
It is overcast and muggy. Beginning to catch up from being on vacation earlier this week. Still more grass to cut and the garden needs some attention. Doing research on what type of hold down system to put on my truck for the truck camper. I am leaning toward happijacs. Any of you have experience with truck campers?
GregM – More jobs are being posted soon. Keep looking at the USEC employment site. Now the press release is out I can say there is plans to build a Nuke Power Plant at our reservation, in addition to the uranium enrichment plant I’m working on now. Between the two plants we’re looking at 1000+ permanent jobs at well above average wages.
Wes- Nice deck. Don’t you just love the deck screws! What are you going to do to rest up from Disney World?
Charlie – Happy 30 years of Matrimony! A special blessing to you and your bride.
Chief – Your grounds look very nice and inviting. I can picture you setting under the tree with a tall glass of sweet tea!
Bob – Come to Ohio this time of year and you will see that green stuff on the ground growing as you watch it.
Jim F – Continued prayers for your bride.
Buckeye – TGIF!!!!
May God bless
Jim

I did one that way too but didn't like the look from the flash it made it look like there was a flaw at the vents on the front and there not there when I get home tonight I will try to post that pic also so you can see what I mean.
submmbob RT - the GG1 looks good! Is that one of the Williams versions? Bob

Glad i was able to get you help
Busy weekend planned. My son turns 3 today...amazing how time flies! We are hosting his Bday party tomorrow. If weather holds off, it should be nice.
Filled up the trailer with mulch last night and did the first round of "operation mulch". I swear I could spead 20 cubic yards of mulch and not nearly have enough...but enough to look like I care.
Going to Disney World next week for a little R&R.
Its storming.
Wes
Morning all!
Nice chat with Brutus, Charlie, SJ, and a quick Hi to Doug. Sorry I had to leave so soon.
Rain and storms thru the night here.
Hope to make it to the zoo today, as they are opening a new children's play area. We'll need to dodge the storms. More predicted this afternoon.
Attended the AAA Columbus Clippers ball game yesterday afternoon, a great day for a ball game. The new ball park is really nice for AAA ball. Suppose to be some big time storms passing Through Central Ohio today which means I will be working in the basement most of the day on the layout.
The NS Buckeye Yard is filling up as a storage yard, all the feeder lines into the yard are full of excess rolling stock. A friend of mine that is a sales rep for the BNSF says they have 75,000 cars in storage. Probably not many new cars are being ordered from the manufactures.
Bill T.
ChiefEagles RT, all I see is s NS diesel. It is so humid, you can go outside and stand still and sweat. Garden growing. Just finished picking. Tobacco in the field around the back fence [you can see in picture] is growing so fast you can watch it move upward. Chat later.

90's and humid here. At least it has not rained for a couple of days.
Mowed the back yard toinght - Was soaking wet when done, so I figgured the front could wait another day.
Some sort of rucus a couple of houses away - two police crusers, two ambulances, and several civilian cars. Probably will make the radio news in the morning. At least no gun shots this time around.
Suprised the wife this morning. We have been admiring a sculpture in an art galery downtown for a couple of weeks. I stopped in yesterday at lunch time, bought it, and hid it in the house. Went out for dinner last night and 'had' to have ice cream downtown a couple of stores down from the art galery. Well, the sculpture is gone from the display window, and my wife is dissapointed. Took the sculpture out of hiding after she went to bed and said nothing. Got a very happy phone call at work from her when she found it!
Jim - encouraging news about your wife. Hope all continues to improve.
Anjdevil2 - If at all possible, send your princess to Italy. Seeing the history first hand and the different culture is an education in itself. Years ago I was a counslor on a seinor high work project trip to Hungary. Watching the kids have new experiences and learn from them is priceless.
Mitch - congratulations on your 30th.
Bob - glad to hear you are making progress with your blood pressure.
Later, all.
Well so far the two meds at the same time have been overshooting a bit so they have pulled me off of one for now. Still getting used to the other and have to crash out from time to time, but all in all things are a lot better. Tomorrow imaging of the internals which means nothing to eat for a bit. It would seem that Friday is a day of fasting for me.
Just got back from the Thurs service and potluck. Was nice to actually sit thru a whole service. A few folks were asking questions about what they had heard. A few more wide eyed responses, but also a lot of support.
Well I better takes my meds, find a pillow, and try not to think about food for the next 12 hours.
Night
Tucson, AZ (aka the Ol' Pueblo)

RT - SWEET! You got a good deal man What a great anniversary present!
Looks like Two Big Boys to me Way to go Charlie!
Doug M - have a great trip and happy 20th!
Greg - I don't work too fast, it promotes rust, lol!
Nice chats with RT, Kurt, SJ, Charlie and Doug tonight
TARDIS is ready and I think it's Patrick's turn to drive? Of is it Mike's? Either way, on the way guys
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Turned into a very nice day. But tomorrow it appears will be thunder storms and 80s.
I had a busy afternoon, even got out some 40s & 50s Lionel. A drop of oil and some track to run on and off they went just smoking their little lungs out. And no battery malfunctions with any of them. Brutus I am ready with a fresh batch of banilla so swope on down...S.J.
Quick stop by from beautiful Hilton Head, SC. Just got back from Hudson's which is a seafood place here (go figure). Have been eating lots of shrimp, fish, hush puppies. Meeting has been very good. I actually have been spending the whole day at the meeting instead of enjoying the beach only a few yards away.
Will remain here till Sunday. On the way up, stopped and shot some photos of a old Souther steal sided caboose. Also saw a crane on the rails. It was painted blue with "Salvage" written on the side. I missed getting a photo of that and also a Heart OF Georgia engine working a siding. Perhaps on the way home if I don't get too anxious to get home.
Well, hope everyone is doing well. Will try to check in again later in the week.
