Rich, behind you all the way. Have faith and it will work out good for you. Princess will be right there when she can. I had a daughter that drove 1 1/2 hours one way to graduate from her high school she had always gone too. Tough on teenagers with close friends to pack up and leave. She will also find some cheap flights for weekends and holidays. God bless.
Dougsnotagrump, finally got to look at my latest OGR. See a club layout I've seen before. Very good.
Fifey, could be another yatchet "drawing" off of your yatchet. Put an galvic isolator between shore power. Will eat up our anode.
No rain yet. Storms all around. Time for a tomato sandwich and then popcorn.

Thoughts and Prayers to all in need.

Doug the only day off this week is Friday and wife has plans or would try to meet with you. Hope you all have a good vacation.
Rich thought the last I heard was you were going to stay with your job maybe mixing you and someone else up . Best of luck with your ventures know the feeling when it time to go sometimes you just have to pick up what you got and go. Glad princess will join you thou in the future.
Raining sideways here right now came real quick but they said we might get storms this afternoon so we now have gotten them haven't heard thunder yet so guess I'm Okay so far
Just put a pizza in oven for dinner so you all have a good evening .
Aloha all from a undisclosed Southern location. Raining again this afternoon. Just like the tropics I guess - the storms roll in. Got some nice beach-time in today. Met up with a young couple from our church who were also in the area - and their 4 kids under 5. Keeping track of them all at a crowded beach sure is tiring. Glad for your good health news, Banks. Off to dinner. Rich, hang in there. Looking forward to your next chapter.

Good Afternoon from Florida..
Made it back by 1330 yesterday, left at 1930 hrs Sunday, Jersey time...
Well, I have put in my resignation and by 1 August, I’ll be back with Mom & Dad. Not the best situation, but it’s what it is. The Princess wants to stay to graduate from this high school and then join me next June. Not what I wanted to hear, but....
I’ll be deputized back into the fire dept., with a formal interview and voting in by 12 August, which will be the happiest news. Looks like no job on the horizon, excepting temp jobs for now.
So the packing will commence and then I’ll be leaving by 31 July. I’m not going to rush this next trip....3 times in 3 months solo driving is horrible...
Joe – congas on the new born.
Sorry I’ve missed some of the birthdays and such....so Happy Birthday!
for all those ailing sick or in need...
I may be absent from time to time, but I’ll keep an eye on things....
Fife - I'm looking forward to that brew with you....
Check ya later!

Lunchtime in Central Jersey, 80's, Humid and Raining,
Joe, enjoy the time with your wife and baby.
Brutas, OSHA??? I can hear the questions: Why did you put your foot under the wheels? You were not aware of your surroundings! We are sending you for behind the handlebar training. Remember: OSHA, O S@#tT, Here Again.
S.J. Enjoy your walk. I could spend the day in Bass Pro.
Fife, Good luck with the battery problem on the boat. Been there done that.
Mornin' boys. Roseyville kinda weather here. Pretty good thunder-boomers lately, and stopped by the docks yesterday to stow my new solar battery charger panel below deck. Think I've isolated my battery problem.
Stay dry.
Good Morning
Overcast and low 80s today.
We've already been for a walk but going to the Mall that has a Bass Pro shop. I think all the way around is at least a mile....Happy friday the 13th.....S.J.
Morning all. Cloudy and humid. SUPPOSE to rain. Got lunch meeting with candidate for new Planning Director [the old one is now Town Manager]. Garden to pick [Town Manager and wife have been picking and using garden when I am gone].
Fastenall is a store chain for fasteners and etc. Ordered carriage bolts and he typed in the codes for hex bolts. Went to pick them up Friday PM to do project Saturday AM. Bolts all wrong. Had to go to Lowes [no Home Depot in Henderson] and get all the bolts that size [actually two lenghts] and pay about $1 per bolt more.
Chat later.
Morning all
Been trying to keep up with the posts and everything else. Still trying to get caught up from being off last week. This week is VBS. I'm doing the scripture and lessons and doing Evening Prayers with the parents after they drop off the kids.
The house we're fixing up to sell is done on the inside. I'm going to tear off the entire garage roof and framing and replace the rafters with trusses and re-roof. After that, pressure wash and paint the outside.
Navyjack - Marcus is in my prayers
Chief - Your Mom too
May God bless

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cloudy 68 degrees. Very humid. Rained last night. Going up to 86 today with a chance of rain.
Today is a busy day. I have a project to work on and the usual chores. I have to run an errand into town later. No train time today. Not much new here.
Dining car is here from "Points West". The usual for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Tuesday.

hello guys, grandson caught about 30 fish sunday. crappies, blue gills, cats, a carp and a northern. he had a great time and he is becoming quite a fisherman. he has at fourteen, 19 fish rigs, and many tackle boxes, which he buys at garage sales. he is not, however interested in trains though. little guy loves grampas trains though and has some of his own. still sticking with idea of buying wife a sonata. cant afford a new one, but will try to swing one with low mileage. it is much more car than the elantra. 82 today here, 90 tommorrow. sorry chief about the yankee manners, learned mine from southern folks while in the service. i call everyone sir and maam. do not try to be presumptous of others. love southern manners. wish my kids would learn some. wes the on30 is cool, but tiny. can see why you like the larger gauge trains. wish some of you guys were closer, as the wife and i would entertain you guys in style and we could talk trains. pat and banks...appreciate your endeavors, where would country be without guys like you. thank you sirs....also jack from taxachussetts...thanks for your well thought out conversations. navyjack
Morning all. Jack, yeah, that happens with the media dept. as some you can count on, some show when it works for them. I guess it is like most organizations in that 20% do the work, while 80% talk about it. But, my filling in is not service for someone who didn't show up, it is for fellow believers and for God. So long as we keep that perspective, it is fine. With regard to your time with the kids...ain't it great? You might be battered and bruised, but you wouldn't pass it up for the world.
Chief, welcome back. I hate when such delays happen and you have no control over them. It does give one pause to think ahead to the next project....or think about the demise of the one causing the delay
I am on call till Monday and have plenty of work to tackle. Had some equipment go on the fritz and had to get in a piece to trial to see if we will be making some capital purchase. If the emergencies allow, I will be joining two folks who are retiring from work to go out for a meal together. We have all worked together at two locations for the past 16 years. They came down to the current hospital and I soon followed.
I hope everyone has a blessed day.God Bless,Dennis

Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 80s. Rain and storms have been predicted the last few days, but none our way. Washed and waxed wife's van so that should bring rain. Did a bunch of financial work yesterday to get caught up on that area. I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast before sending it on to "Points East". TBIL anytime. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Glad things are going well, Joe - keep us posted
Chief, is that the name of the store where you got the bolts?
Ran over my toe with the two-wheeler the other day and apparently I have now lost a toenail. Well, I didn't lose it so much as I had to remove most of it. Yuck. Hate that. Oh well, guess that's an OSHA violation, lol!
Nephew and son are getting along pretty well still - 13 days to go!
Peach and banilla.... Hmmm, I'll take Banilla with Rootbeer! Beacons are on the screen and ready to go, so let's hit it boys!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good evening all,
It was a pretty pleasant day here in Enid, OK. My wife and newest son are doing very well. The in-laws have been here since his birth and they have been a great help handling the two older ones while the wife and I tend to the baby. Tomorrow they will take the two older ones out of town for a few days which will allow the wife and I to focus on the baby and each other. My father-in-law has taken the two older ones fishing as well, twice for my 7 y/o son. They both enjoyed it, and according to the kids, they caught the largest carp ever. No doubt the fishing tales will grow as they do.
I was able to watch the home run derby for a short while tonight. I stopped watching once I saw David Ortiz was doing very well. For a Yankee fan like me, I could never watch a Red Sox player do well.
Good night all,
Joe
Banks Need to get Doe license ready to mail. I'll try to stop by tomorrow when I get back.

No need for that. Just come to my house and shoot all you want. Stealing my apples. First time we have had deer inside the fence. Probably Yankee deer as they have no respect nor manners.
Home from the lake house for a short stay. Meeting with Wake County School folks searching for new "Super". Wanted Mayors' imput. Only 5 of us showed up. Back to the lake tomrrow PM or Wed. Finally got 1.5 inches of rain in Roseyville and only .18 at the lake.
Got dock rebuilt in one day. This wa inspite of the screw up by Fatenal in my bolt order. Set me back hours and cost me $$$$$$$$. Will go into details later.
Now to read 154 emails and etc.
Later
Sunshine, low 80's with humidity to match. Evening showers.
Almost got the lawn mowed. The rain didn't let me get the front yard done.
My 1986 'A New Beginning' boxcar got here today. Nice clean one, not too many miles either.
I have not posted in a long time on SPF. I'll have to get pictures of my new (to me anyhow) items to share in the next week or two.
My dad's uncle used to run a store in either Petosky or Harbor Springs, Michigan - I don't remember which at the moment. Probably back in the 30's and 40's. The story I remember him telling is how he took all of the unsold fireworks out into the street on the 4th of July and lit them off. He spoke of having duels with roman candles! Amazingly, he had all of his fingers.
All for now.
Sun and low 80s.
Just got back from a walk, didn't do anything after this mornings shopping so I'll just wait for the thingy....Banilla will wait in the freezer, also got some peach but that will be by request only. lol......S.J.
Good Evening from the Jersey Shore, 78, 80% humidity and Thunderstorms predicted for tonight and the next 2 days.
Quiet day at work, very busy but quiet.
Banks, congrats on the good news. I know a few fellows that died from colon cancer.
You have to watch the "Good Deals". My wife taliked me into a Direct Buy Membership. We ordered an entertainment center. They said that you can pick it up. The problem was that it was not there. It was 60 miles away at a trucking company wharehouse. They delivered it for $100. They make it sound as if you can just pick it up at the location where you are joining, but that is not the case. That is the only thing that we bought there in the 2yrs since buying the membership. It is a very expensive entertainment center. She keeps telling me we bought it for when we remodel the house.
Thoughts and Prayers for all in need.
LawsonFarmsRR jonadelDougD.-- That doesn't surprise me at all. A couple of years ago they found a tank car in western IA (UP) that was deemed "suspicious". They finally got the top opened and found the decomposing remains of several illegals from south of the border, they had to take a torch to the side of the tank car to get a big enough opening to remove them. I can't remember how many it was but it was a lot, very sad situation. Not much surprises me any more. Not much surprises me now ether, but here are three recent events that did: 3) A woman we know got her son back from her husband who had run off with him to Arkansas 1000 Mi away by proving he was not the father using DNA. She got pregnant while she was living with her husband. Pat

LawsonFarmsRR 1) Purchased furniture for pick up at store, to save the $150 delivery fee. Found out the store would not load the furniture in our truck, only set it on the loading dock, 4 feet in the air. Pat

So many roads, so little time.
Hello all,
Good news, back from the"plumbers". He said i was "boring" come back in five years. I do have a concern over colon cancer. My grand pap survived Mustard Gas in WW1 Lost 3/4 of his stomach to ulcers in his late fifties and colon cancer was his demise when he was 82.
He taught me a lot about repairing, rewinding motors and got me started helping him do house wiring. Went to Vo-Tech and on the first day the teacher said 'Was your grand pap SAM?' I said yes He said "I was his helper boy when I started at the PRR." Vo-Tech was the 2nd best decision I ever made. Choosing my Mrs was the best.
Think I'm gonna find some thing else to eat.
Prayers for all who may need them
