Evening all
As far as daughters go had two and they went in two different directions go figure. Oldest got mixed into drugs and became an
I can only hope better for the granddaughters we are raising.
We just finished supper and the kids are out playing in the yard. Going to call them in soon to go over spelling words. I bribe them with M&M's. Each word they spell correct gets them one M&M.
Good Night and may God bless

FIFEY .... home from another trip to Cumberland today .... got 2 huge bags of that special DARK RED soil and rocks that can only be gotten in that area . Have to go back next week ... may get more . Now to sift it all through window screen and larger square screening to sort sizes .
Hello all,
Busy as heck lately,I've skimmed the POT to get caught up. Seems I missed an Anniversary and Birthday,
8N, what's up with your Mrs' back?
On the subject of daughters. Mine is 31. got to say she caused her Mom and I some but I think she turned out pretty well.
Not much on the train front
There's a train show near Cumberland on May 1st. Anybody know of it? I've never been to it so I am hoping for some input from the forum.
Best get to bed
Prayers for all who may need them

Great to see you stopped by Banks. Regarding the red dirt, we have Georgia Red Clay. Hard as steel to dig into when it is dry and slick as snot when you are driving on it when it is wet. But it does make for some good peaches, peanuts, and vidalia onions. It is also the soil of choice for Horse Shoe pits, if that means anything to anyone.
Was going to go to bed earlier, but wife was still up and I got the bug to go run some trains. Ran the Southern Mikado using the Legacy control. Was real sweet!, but I did notice several spots on the layout that need some trimming to make the larger pieces be able to negotiate some curves. I did have one derailment...I was trying to push some scale box cars from the back of the layout and it worked fine till it got to a turn. No damage and it was fun.

So many roads, so little time.
Sunny and mid 70's today.
Checked e-mails when I got home this evening and got the great news that mom has been released from the re-hab center. She and her knew knee went home today. My sister will be able to spend some time with her as she gets used to being back at home.
Banks - My wife had a pinched nerve flare up last November. She went through some pain control treatments that did not help much. We finally got in last week to see an orthipedic specialist - good news/bad news. Good news, we know what is causing the pinched nerve, bad news is that it is three vertibrae with two cracks each. She is wearing a back brace now, which helps some, but ultimately, she will have to get surgery. She is feeling well enough that she has signed up for water arobics - calorie burn to loose some weight, which will help her back and get her in better shape for surgery.
Too busy this week at work to get to the LHS. The new Lionel catalogs probably arrived there on Tuesday.
Prayers for those in need - especially those dealing with wet weather.
All for now.
Prayers for those in the rainy areas, Moms and Dads in rehab, grandparents raising grandchildren, back surgeries, and all the rest of us and our loved ones.
Wife is doing okay - has ups and downs with numbers, which is expected but stressful. Last to recover will be her hemoglobin, since that was the thing most affected before. She'll probably need a transfusion tomorrow. We were going to go to KC this weekend, but her Mom is sick with a bug, so can't do it - too dangerous.
Nice talks with RT, SJ and Charlie tonight. Doing some big wishing on the new Lionel catalog (online) - need to get a paper copy soon.
Tardis is ready - banilla will be good, but no pie, had a piece of cake tonight already. Beacons on!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
A last post I guess before the New POT tomorrow.
Brutus - prayers for your wife
8n - prayers for your wife and hope your mother gets better quickly.
Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow!
Regards, Roy

DID I HEAR DRAMA QUEENS?????
Fear not, Rich, Roy, Fife, DougM, JimSP, and Banks. Even when they are in their 30's, married, have kids, and have long since moved out! Sorry, Dennis, you can't join the club until yours becomes a teen.
I received the classic, irate "The teacher is picking on my poor, sweet, innocent, could never do anything wrong, the teacher needs to adjust her teacjhing methods, my daughter is misunderstood" phone call yesterday regarding my 6yo granddaughter. So over the phone I was silently nodding my head in agreement with the teacher while feigning shock and dismay to my daughter. Daughter picked up on my sarcasm, though.
Apparently the "No Daughter Drama," as well as the "Once Son Moves Out He Stays Out" clauses in my parental contract have been repeatedly violated. I'd move to the North Pole, leaving no forwarding address, but I am certain they would hunt me down.
