Good evening everyone. Trying to catch up on the last week of posts....only could go back 3 pages as I have to get to sleep. Been real busy with work and filming. We did the movie thing till 10pm Thursday, only to return on set at 03:30 for the final scene for the week. Got home at 11am and then we drove up to my wife's niece's graduation which is a 4 hour drive. Nice affair to which we just made it before she had to leave for the ceremony. I was able to take some photos which, as it turns out were much needed as my BIL's camera had a problem and all photos they took were not clear.
Sir James, was not able to read back to what you were dealing with in the latest round of figuring out your meds. From the symptoms I read in one of the later posts, it sounds like mild seizure activity (I get this from Compazine). It is listed as a potential side effect on that and some other meds. One of those things, it can happen to some folks, but not most and when it does happen to you, it isn't fun. Hope they are able to get you settled with a comperable med that doesn't cause any issues.
Jim, congratulations on graduating! Now that you are one of those Electrical Engineering guys, can I fly you out this way to complete the wiring on my layout? Just kidding, I only have a little scenery left till I am done, but have been so busy I have not had the chance/time.
Hope each of you have a blessed week ahead.Dennis

Dennis the meds she scribed r klonopin and mysoline. One day on them and the tremors have lessened.
SIR JAMES,
Prayers for you. Hope all is well? If meds don't help, maybe some OL MILs?

HI GUYZ,
Went trout fishing with BRO, caught and released 11 tonite. I caught 7 BRO 4. Had fire with burgers and dogs, and OL MILs yumyum.
Tomorrow new creek, stay tuned?
A salute to, and a prayer for, every member of our armed forces, past and present, for their service to our country and for the sacrifices they have made to safeguard the freedoms we enjoy. God bless them and their families, and God bless America.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a sunny 70 degrees. Going up to 86 today with sunshine.
Today is an easy day. Plenty to watch on TV. Indy 500. Nascar and ballgame. Indians finally beat the Yankees. I will watch the races from the train room. Cool down there.
Dining car is here and it's Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Sunday.

Good Morning All from the North Coast where we have Blue Clear Skys.

Hello from New Jersey...Hey John, I'm in Hightstown!! WOO HOO!!
Trip up was good, 15 hrs in one shot & $60 in gas. Weather cooperated. Had 1 hour of sleep south of Baltimore, I was passing through and waved at Fife - that was at 0630 Thursday. Was back home by 0930.
The trains are safely upstairs in my sisters attic, fondly known as "Rich's Wing".
Been visiting and seeing friends and family. Weather was good, rain yesterday morning. I've pretty much decided on my next step in life. This ain't gonna be easy, but it's something I must do.
It's nice to see all the American flags on the streets. You don't see that in Florida, it seems. Here, it's all different. And HOME!
JimT _ CONGAS on the degree. Don't waste it, get a good job and USE IT!! But, you can this the summer off....
OK I'm off again, I'll try to catch up later. I may leave tonight, but it looks like tomorrow is when I'll leave. Can't miss the Parade!!

Good morning, celebrating my oldest son's 45th birthday today. Being born on Memorial Day, it is natural that he is a race car enthusiast. He is watching the 500 today and we will have the birthday cake after the race.
Swimming pool is under control again. Actually I'm back where I started from and would have saved a lot of time and money if I had done nothing to it to begin with. If all else fails, read the directions.
God bless all the men and women who have made the ulitmate sacrifice for our liberty.

Home again. Came in early as wifey wanted to hit the house before going to work on Tues. I need to mow the grass here [already mowed twice at the lake this past week], work garden [had an inch of rain here and inches at the lake which is in the edge of the parking lot again] and fertilize pond. Then hit the road tomorrow back to lake house. Crew coming Tuesday morning early. Finish porch and etc. Will probably stay thru the weekend as will get final inspection Friday if they finish Thursday as planned. Then back to the old grind of meetings and more meetings the next week.
Scanned through the posts. SJ, be careful. Glad you are OK. Got to run for now. Later.

Aloha from a sunny Crystal Lake where it is 90 or so but due to cool down. Prayers for you, SJ. Nice relaxifying day. And then we're off tomorrow too - we'll go to the local parade ... to remember.

Evening all hope all have been having a good weekend. I have to work tomorrow but have had 2 good days off so ready to go back to work.
down loading pics to shutterfly at present of all my trains. Well 99% of them still have a couple to go but waiting for one to come in to complete a set.
Not much else going on tonight probably go to bed early as work starts early. Left the keys with SJ to the tardis or the thingy as he calls it hope he can handle it with the meds hes on.
Talk to you all later
Good Sunday Evening
A quiet day here as I slept through half of the afternoon. The meds are working to the point of maybe 90% relief. But I have not adjusted to them yet. Going to cut the grass tomorrow before the rain comes in the afternoon. Banilla is ready we can toss on some banannas and chocolate syrup......S.J.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Evenin' boys. Evenin' English. Apparently it's been pretty weather here in the Mid-Atlantic region. I however have spent every daylight hour in a local hospital since Friday morning. Fifepup had a bad accident during his weight training class. Long story short, 500# of wieght caused his left tib-fib to fracture. Surgery involved a titanium rod being inserted through tib. After physical therapy (learning with crutches) he is now home and propped up on sofa. #2 Princess will be going to school to become a nurse, and has stepped up to give hime twice daily shots for blood clots, and changing his bandages. His summer is over before it started.
anjdevil - Thought that was you...glad you made it safe and sound.
Fifey, prayers for pup. Don't let blood clots nor bone marrow clots move. My old Wildlife Enforcement partner got hit in a headon one night [drunk hit him]. Broke the left leg and bone marrow clots went to his lungs and he shut down. Was in a comma and on respirator for a month. He finally came too. We worried he would not make it. Keep an eye on him.
Scratch one fox. Ruger .380 APC at 15 feet. Was driving off from feeding deer and saw this fox head peep around a bush at me. Drove on up to clear soild rock area. Yes, he sat there, watched me pull pistol from door, unzip case, aim out truck window and fire. Stupid is as stupid does.
Later
Sunny and warm in Northern Michigan today. We had a great day. Mom and Dad have been here with us for the weekend.

Good Evening all
I hope you are having a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend. It has been a busy weekend for sure. We’ve gotten lots of yard work done and I helped with three services today. We hope to go to Cincinnati tomorrow and see our youngest. We had a special blessing for a young man who just came into the Church this spring who is off to Marine boot camp. He is a real good kid.
Charlie – a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work, looks like you are having a good time!
May God bless
Jim
Good evening all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 90s. The weather was dry and hot for the race. The traffic pace going in and leaving was fine. Once again the race was a snoozer. Very little ontrack passing for the lead. Team Red won going away with Franchitti helped by stupid Penske mistakes which knocked all three of their cars from winning contention. Both SFR and AJF racing were non factors and dropped out early. Wife says she is done with race. May be only one daughter and I going. I had cinnamon rolls on the dining car for breakfast. TBIL if it is not too late. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
It is a cloudy and humid 68 degrees. Going up to 86 today with a slight chance of rain.
A Happy Memorial Day to all. God Bless our Veterans.
Today is a good day to remember all the freedoms we have and the sacfrifices that were made, for us, to have them.
Taking it easy today. Running trains this afternoon.
Dining car is here and it is the usual for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Memorial Day Monday.
Good Morning All from the North Coast, where it is mostly Clear Blue Skies, but rain is on the way.
yesterday we built an O gauge train with 54 coal cars and 12 scale box cars on the msueum's layout. Today I will be adding another 8 coal cars and then make a video of it running. This train will be over 90 feet long!
Mornin' boys. Gonna be a hot one here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Littlest Princess wanted clarification that we were still going to the pool today. Fifemom said she'll stay with Lt Dan.
MichRR714 - That little one is what we call a Cutie-patootie.
Chief - Chris's surgeon said everything went very well. He ain't crazy about the shots in the belly, but I think he understands.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY !!!
Morning all. Glad to see Tom P posting here again. He has always had some great holiday speciality posts. Tom was an original poster to the CTT forum when I joined it several years ago [FYI for all the new comers]. Post some photos of the museum. Great job he is doing up north.
Sunny and hot. Going to do some "pond work" this AM. Then mow grass and spray garden, trees and vines. Hit the road to the lake house.
Prayers for Fifepup.
Mike C., was there a race other than NASCAR? Saw that "flying" race car on TV.
Have a safe holiday all.
Good morning all
To all vets and service men and women, THANK YOU!
Fife - special pay for healing for the Pup
SJ - Hope your are feeling better.
Spankybird ... WOW .... what are you pulling all those cars with ? GREAT to see you back here !!!! Did your parrot ever mark his territory on your shoulder ?
Fifedog ... extremely sorry to hear about the son's injuries ... what a horrible way to start the summer .... guard him well and prayers here for his complete recovery .
Off to a picnic this afternoon at #3 son's ... I asked them if they set aside a time to honor this old vet .... won't tell you what they replied .... .... LOL
Chief .... don't get caught in Maryland shooting from inside a vehicle .... ask fifiedog what the consequences are .... yikes !
CHARLIE ... beautiful family ..... poor old dad has to sit way back there by himself and does'nt get any toasted marshmallows ....
Good Morning from the Jersey Shore,
A beautiful day, sunny and in the 80's. We were going to go fishing this morning during the outgoing tide. At 4:30 the wind was blowing Southwest at 10 mph. Weather Channel said that it was tapering to 4 but when I see the top of the oak trees sway, from past experience, I stay put, especially on a Holiday weekend.
Let's take a second to remember our Veterans who gave their lives so that we can enjoy ours. Please include those who were not killed in combat, but suffered from the effects of their wounds or conditions in the later years.
Rich, Enjoy your visit to the Garden State. The way this State is going it should be the Condo State, or State of Confusion.
Prayers and thoughts to all that are in need and Fife tell him to hang in there and he is lucky to have his sister who cares.
Good Luck with all of your projects and enjoy the Holiday. Keep the Flag Flying.
John
Hi GUYZ,
Happy MEMORIAL DAY. Thank you VETs for all you have done.
Went trout fishing last nite at new creek. Only caught and released 2 whilst BRO only released 1. Water is very low so thats why not many fish.
FIFE, prayers for the boy. Watch out for those 500 lb. barbells. Wow I used to do that too, long time ago. Glad nothing like that happened to me. He'll mend.
TOM, hope to see the video of the layout. Must be something.
Stay frosty,
Aloha from a sunny Crystal Lake. Bride woke up this morning declaring we need new deck furniture. So that is probably my day. But after the parade. Thank you to all of you who served!Watched the races and Sox win in between fending off mosquitoes the size of a buses. Prayers for swift recovery of the Pup and SJ.
