With that said may the good lord bless you and your family.

ChiefEaglesHow do you pray for your Mom to die and not feel guilty? Got to stop the "suffering".
Chief, there isn't a way. But suffice it to say, that your lack of selfishness is wanting what is best for her, not what's best for you. Went down that rode a couple of times, and as much as I would have liked to have spent a few additional moments together, would want it at the discomfort and pain that would have been required. No matter it doesn't make it any easier, either.
Our prayers our with you and your family!!
Don
Frank, my friend. Just knowing she will be going to a better place and no more pain helps.

Reclinerized from about 10 PM. Gang just went out for a pee. Now off to bed. Yvonne [caregiver lady] called and said Mom had not urinated nor had a bowl movement in over 24 hours. Thinks her kidneys have shut down. Not eating anything solid and just a few sips of Ensure every now and then. Refuses to swallow her meds [probably can't as she has gorter growing inside her neck]. Think it is a manner of time. Hospace nurse asked if we wanted her to go to hospital [het IV's] and if stayed home, have a hospital bed for her. Yvonne told them, "No, "Miss Emma" said she wanted to die in her home and in her bed." How do you pray for your Mom to die and not feel guilty? Got to stop the "suffering". Yvonne says she says she is not hurting so that makes me feel better. Good night all.
PS: we got RAIN here and at lake house!!!!!!! Thank the Lord.

Back from vacation to reality....Wish last week would have lasted for longer! Had a great time with the kids and wifey!

Sunny and 90's today.
Stopped in at the LHS Saturday and found a surprise waiting for me. My jet powered RDC had come in - earlier than expected! That thing is just stupid cool. Pullmor powered, makes plenty of ozone, geared for high speed, jet spool up sound when the power comes on. Must have sweat off about a pound up in the attic playing with testing it. Looks like something E.J. Potter would have built if he had dabbled with trains.
Hudson685 - I agree. You can't really make a judjment on somebody having never met them. Rumors are just rumors. The next few weeks will be interesting.
GregM - congrats on the new adventure. Hope it works out for you. My sister and her husband live in Uniontown. I'll make it a point to visit when we are in the area.
My wife's pre-operation appointments are tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well.
Sailed down to Bodkin Creek and back. Terrific breeze headin down, then nothing. Motored back. Did see Carnival Pride cruise ship heading south. That's always cool.
Evening all!
Back from trip to TN and local time off. The family had a great time. Got four girls up at same time on wakeboards for a new record. No issue pulling them all up at same time - boat's got a lotta torque. Would have tried 5 at once but couldn't gin up another ski/wakeboard rope. So 5 will be goal next year. Three of them (all boys. all girls, and mixed) at a time wakeboarded that way half the week once they figured it out. They got so good at this that only once in 2 days did one fall on startup and only because the others answered ready when that person was not ready. It was great fun.
Been very very hot here, but a bit of cool down this evening with some T-Storms in the area.
Hope all is well with the gang.
Regards, Roy
Good evening all,
Brutus - I am envious of your dinner selection. I had a leftover BBQ chicken sandwich.
The family and I made it to church today. It was our first service with the newest addition. Afterwards, ate some lunch, read the newspaper, enjoyed some coffee, and the Yankees game.
Eventually made it out to the garage to work on the layout. I started the modification (reducing its length) to the Lionel Dobson house. I was able to cut it apart with a fine tooth hack saw. It worked pretty well and I removed about three inches from it. I still have to smooth the edges and glue it together. I had created a thread about this modification a few weeks ago. Once I finish I will post some photos. I also worked on the airport a little. I finished the surface by fitting some thin pine on top of the tunnels. I painted it green to simulate grass. I laid some sandpaper to act as the runway. I need to add more detail and I will post photos of it as well.
Just got the kids to bed. Now its time to relax with the wife.
Good night,
Joe
Good evening everyone. John, thanks for the thoughts. We did have a great lunch and the kids went with our friend to spend time with her and their two kids. Wife picked up daughter tonight and son will sleep over there. They are having a good time. Also gave bride and I a chance for alone time and we watched a movie called "Book of Eli". Good flick, but with some language. It did have a great scriptural message. Tonight, after church, came home to get a phone call from some friends in DC. He is a secret service agent and they are looking into adoption.
Chief, your "children" look like they are enjoying life. You and Mrs. Pam must be spoiling the stew out of em. Looks like the baby is going to run things before too long.
Gotta run, hope everyone has a blessed night.Dennis

Good Evening
80s today rain in the area but none here.
The train show was a thumbs down, same stuff and less attendance. No banilla yet so I guess I can force some down. Brutus come on by....S.j.

Howdy guys! Big storms came through here all morning, but it's quiet now. Got the boys down in the basement for a few hours and we cleared out about 12 black trash bags full of junk - mostly packaging, cut-offs from drywall, and stuff like that. Swept up almost everything - just have to go over it with the shop vac now. We organized the remaining building materials and the tools and stuff, too. Then I took them out for icecream, gave them each $20, and took them to the Gamestop. Lunch for me was a banana split
Tardis is ready and the skies appear clear now, so we'll be ready in a few minutes.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good afternoon all,
It is cloudy in SE Indiana with temps in the 80s. It was a surprisingly good day despite a Mass that was interminably long. I must have prayed well enough as Vitor moved from 26th to 11th and moved up one position in the points. Wife, Lucas and I celebrated the good fortune as we went to see "Inception". A very good, complex film with events occurring at several levels. Again, this is something Dennis W. would not do, but still there was a clear, moral purpose to the plot. It is a very long movie. I had the regular fare on the dining car for breakfast. TBIL anytime and I can drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
Just got back from spending last week in the OC, MD area. I'll catch up and report back later.
Good Evening from the Jersey Shore,
Spent the day getting caught up on chores and I cleaned and waxed the 18' Boat. Planing on going out to Lancaster County Pennsylvania on Thursday with my son and my brother in law Dan expressed interest in going with us. We are planing on going to the Rough and Tumble Museum, in Kinzers for the John Deere Days, Friday/Saturday. On Thursday we are planing on hitting Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop, Plus the Pa. Rail Road Museum. We will also hit the Toy Train Museum, since we are planing on staying at the Red Caboose Motel. We will adjust our schedule to get the most out of the few days.
Fife, Sailing, Steamed Crabs and Beer sum up a great time at Chesapeke Bay. Good Luck on your swim test.
Chief, The last time I ate at a Texas Road House it was terrible. "Forgit About It'. Finn is really getting big.
Doug, The sharks are fun to hook and release as long as no one gets hurt. Enjoy the rest of your vacation.
Thoughts and Prayers to all in need.
John
Sorry, John, I must've chased all the sharks north to Jersey. Nice day at the beach with the youngest. The bride even gave me the extremely rare priviledge of getting to clean myself up first whilst she takes the youngest to the pool. She must see something she likes in the one of the shops.Belated congrats to Greg on hopefully a great new job.

Morning all. Back from Sunday School.. Hot and humid. Think we might have gotten a half of an inch of rain. Will mow grass tomorrow AM before County Commissioners. Then have Mayor's Assoc. BASEBALL [the true American sport] game at the Mud Cats stadium. Hot dogs, hamburgers and fried chicken [all American foods]. Got a double suite reserved.
Speaking of steak, horrible. Pam told me Texas Steak House which we love. Got there and no Pam or her sister. Called and found out Texas Road House [which I do NOT like]. Then ordered steak medium rare and it came over done. Thin thing too. They took it back and apologized. Everyone had finished when I got my new steak. It was thicker and rare. Ate it anyway. They have a poor menu and poor tasting steaks.
Everyone remembers Finn at 8 weeks.
Now look at him at 14 weeks. Twice as tall as Lucy and as tall as Burg. BIG boy.
LawsonFarmsRR Brutus Pat - RT might know the scale? He has some Lionel Nascar stuff? Thanks Brutus. I don't know if RT would know the scale of the Lionel NASCAR replica die-cast race cars. As I understand it, they haven't announced it yet. I assume they will be the same scale as produced now by Motorsports Authentics of Concord, N.C. RT - do you know? Pat

Good Morning from the Jersey Shore, 84, 62% Humidity, Windy, Cloudy, Going to 93.
The day started off with a wake up call by the Police Department at 3:45. Someone was prowling around with a flashlight and they wanted us to check our cars to see if anything was missing. Nothing was missing. We have a really good Police Force.
Dennis, I hope that your rounds are routine, enjoy the BBQ. Thoughts and prayers for your friend who is off to Iraq.
Mike, Sounds like you had a great day with your Dad. That WW2 Display sounds interesting.
Joe, You do have great In-Laws. Best wishes to your wife and the baby. Any questions about fishing, I am sure that there are a number of us here that can help you out. Have fun with your son and the Airport.
Greg, Good luck to you and Aaron with the business.
Brutus, Good Luck with the basement project. Our tomamtoes are just hanging, I feel that they should be bigger also.
Doug, Enjoy the rest of the Shore Yacation. This past week we have been invaded by sharks at the Jersey Shore. At first the talk was they were Dolphin, but it was confirmed that they were sharks.
S.J., I will pass it on the congrats to my wife. The Key Lime Pie Ice Cream was real good. Banilla base. One of the competitions is for the best Banilla, from the State to go to the National Competition. They lost by a couple of points.
Chuck, Dining Car brought Bagels with a "Smear" for breakfast.
Everyone, Enjoy your Sunday
Right now it's a comfortable 77 and partly cloudy; however, today's high is 102. I woke up at 0515 with the baby. He was very bright-eyed today and I enjoyed that time with him. Saw the in-laws off this morning. Father-in-law had an early flight; mother-in-law was driving him to the airport and going to see other family. She will be back in a couple of days.
We're hoping my wife is not too sore this morning so we can all attend church. Service starts in about two hours and she is still in bed. She just took some pain medication so we'll see how she is in a bit.
Started the morning with a healthy bowl of cereal and now the cinnamon rolls are in the oven. They are very tasty with a hot cup of coffee.
Regards,
Good Morning
going to 90+
I'm pooped but there's a train show this morning, the only one till fall, so I'm going. Grannys at church and I'm trying to sit up straight. lol....
Have a great day...S.J.
Morni... HEY GregM YES!!! 4 paws up!
Now don't be sucha stranger.
Mornin' boys. Hot & 82 already in the Mid-Atlantic region. Laundry and garden, then grocery shopping, then sailing. Had hot steamed crabs and ice cold beer with the family at the beach club yesterday . Then practiced for an upcoming swim test... Made a mental note not to take the swim test after hot steamed crabs and ice cold beer...
submmbob - Get well.
Good morning all. Been real busy on call and will be till Monday. Have to go in and make rounds after church. Already done with morning reading and prayers....Yeah, lifted some for a few here in need.
We have a friend who's husband is deployed and so we will meet them out for lunch after church, (and for me, after rounds). From what SWMBO has said, it will be BBQ today.
Looking forward to getting back to work on the layout. So many projects that need to be done on it, not sure where to begin. . Guess it will be just pick one and go with it.
God BLess,Dennis
It is a cloudy and humid 70 degrees. Going up to 84 today with rain coming.
Today is an easy day. Time to relax and enjoy the A/C. I think I will run trains this afternoon. No Nascar race today. I think there is a ballgame. Not much else is going on.
Dining car is here and it's the usual for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Sunday.
It was very hot today, but I hardly noticed since I spent most of it in the house. Father-in-law took my 7y/o son fishing again. He goes back to FL tomorrow, but I promised him and my son I would take my son fishing. I have no clue about fishing, but at least I'll be with my son. The mother-in-law will be around for another six days to help out. I am very blessed to have great in-laws. My wife needed to take it easy today since she is still recovering from the C-section nine days ago. We went bowling this evening as a quasi birthday party for my son and about to be 9y/o daughter. All three of our kids were born in July; our wedding anniversary is in October. If you do the math...
I am looking forward to church tomorrow morning and completing the airport part of our layout. Good health for all those in need.
