Quick stop over as wife is wanting "us" to watch the Duggars video on the movie we are doing. As to the computer conversation, we have several. Toshiba is the usual one I am on. It is a Satellite laptop and the only issue we have had is the DC input is loose, but that is OK, it is working for now. Have a Dell laptop that we spent 3x as much and is not quite the same. That one, the screen went out on it and so we have it hooked up to a flatscreen TV. I have a number of photos and my layout diagram on it, but we rarely even fire it up. Have a HP desktop with more memory than I can ever use and faster than anything I have ever seen. That one has a 23" monitor on it that is great for photo edits and working in multiple split screens.
Had my physical this morning followed by a few cases. Long day, but I got through it somehow. While we were doing the second case, the rain blew through and we had a few inches to really mess up traffic for the way home. That is OK, farms needed the rain.
Hope to check in later,God Bless,Dennis

Way to go Navyjack! After 7 months wait, it sounds like our counterparts on the OGR web site are getting you a layout.
Evening all
Roof framing on the garage, metal tomorrow.
Jim - The green 650's and 718 came today. They are NICE. MAil arm works lights work and they track very well. A little pledge and they will look new after I touch up the window frames.

Good Evening All

Good evening all,
First post of the day since work kept me pretty busy today. I spent most of the day out of the office, which could be considered good or bad since it was another hot one. It's great to see I'm not the only one dealing with heat wave issues.
Glad to see folks here and their spouses are recovering well and getting back into the swing of the things. I guess I'll show my youth since I don't know who the lady is in the photo Fife posted. Perhaps a wise man such as SJ can enlighten me.
I need to get to bed early since the baby likes to be awake most of the night now.
Good night,
Joe
Hang in there Joe, you'll be through this stage soon. Good news on the roof, JimSP - cheers! Good news on the paint, Chief, that was a good trade.
Nice chats with RT, SJ and Charlie tonight. Had some storms in STL earlier around 1PM, but nothing down where we live. One lady had to run out and put up her windows, but it was too late! Her seats were soaked. I never leave the windows down in downtown Saint Louis, lol! Not because of the weather, either!
Repairs to tracks between STL and KC have set back the Amtrak schedule for a couple weeks.
Tardis is ready, so let's get this ball rolling!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Another sunny triple digit day today.
Day 1 for the Missouri State Fair today. Probably not going to make it to the fair this year. Too hot and too much for my wife at this time. No problem, the fair is an anual event - there is always next year.
Think I get outside yet tonight and do some meteor watching. These are the Persoids (or something like that), aren't they SumBob?
All for now.
Good Morning from Rainy Central NJ,
Been busy, had 2 interviews and plenty of fire calls in between. Entertained a friend and her 2 year old daughter yesterday, much fun.
Well, it's official, I'm back in the fire dept. They waived the 6 month probationary period cause I've been a member before. Took 'em all of 5 minutes. One of the guys said he was surprised it took THAT LONG to vote me back in. I was very happy and pleased that I was given a Past Asst. Chief''s badge, a new hat badge and gold name plate for my uniform. When I was an assistant chief, I never had this much gold. Except for my daughter being here and a job, it's been so great to be home.
Weather has been rainy and in the 70's. Gray day today, but it's all good.
Not much with the trains today....John, call me Sunday, as I plan to be in Edison that day as well. Would love to meet up with you and your son.
That's all for now, gonna hit the rack and get some shut eye for sure.

Pretty good day today. Doing fairly well on the hill. My internals are still getting used to the new arrangement, but otherwise things are ok.
We went on top of the 'scope tonight to watch the Perseids. We saw a number of good ones.
Finally finished reading the July issue of Trains tonight during dinner. During the operating season I read them faster than they can get to me. In the summer they come faster than I can read 'em.

Keep on training,

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a foggy 72 degrees. Going up to 88 today with a chance of rain.
Today is a busy day. I have the usual chores this morning and then I have some errands to run. This afternoon, I have PT. Hope to do some serious walking. I need it. Nothing is new on the train front.
Dining car is here and it's Cheerios for breakfast.
Buckeye..... TGIF
Y'all have a great Friday.

And what a taskmaster Chief was with the painters, had them working all day in the hot broiling sun, no breaks. It is my understanding the painters can't do any fishing now because of heat stroke and dehydration.. He even had them paint all the dogs and the John Deere white to match the house. Wait till SHE finds out!!!

IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Mornin' boys. A cool 75 with lingering showers in the Mid-Atlantic region. Skies really opened up last night. RAVENS looked good last night. Panthers gonna have a looooong season.
Also on the sports front, looks like Buck Showalter is the real deal. He's got the O's playing for their baseball lives. Classy of him to wear 26, and he reminds me a little of Earl Weaver.
Well, gonna get a haircut this morning. Certainly hope it doesn't take all day like Dennis's physical. Can you sit buddy
cnw1995 - Ruuuu-dy! Ruuuuu-dy!....
Morning all. New paint sprayer is the greatest. Easy to clean too. Did get too hot yesterday. Had "sweat rag" tied around forehead. Got so full it was dripping sweat into my eyes. Clothes were soaked as if I had fell in the lake. I finally had to quit and go inside. Later had cramps. They said cold front was coming through and rain. Did not rain close to us. Roseyville had over an inch the night before. Ponderosa missed it all. Cooling back down to normal for NC [high 80's to low 90's]. Been hottest summer on record in NC.
Got a call from the ole guy in the UK this AM. Seems he has to dodge the rain drops to get to the pub in a few. 5 hours difference in time.
Got to get some coffee now and get ready to go to Town Hall and meeting.
Bob, go eat a "bait" of pork bar-be-que. NO DON'T.
Have a good day [Ignore Jack], later
am really happy this morning. life has been kept on hold because of air conditioning problem, marine friends are coming over today to remove ac from its sleeve and take it over to another friend(also a marine) to do a bench check and repair it. was not too humid last night. got a good nights sleep. also some guys are coming over next week to see if they can help me have a small layout. they have to figure out how they can make one i can operate from my bed, with one hand, also with the space restrictions. chief i envy you going out in the heat and getting a workout. we used to run 10 miles every day when it was 110. on blacktop. i remember sweating off 5 lbs in one day. the corpsman used to give us salt tablets. hope everyone has a great day. navyjack p.s. jack can take advantage of your advice when i have ac again. can think better.
Hello all,
Quick sip this morning.
Nice picture frames I saw earlier.
Navyjack, Hope this works out and you can run trains. Did you get your A/C fixed?
We got one inch of rain the night before last. Thankful for that but we need several more. Slowly. Thought about hauling water for garden. Went to look at the creek and there isn't enough water to put the pump in.
Busy weekend ahead. I'll try to stop back.
Prayers for all who may need them.

Good Morning
Stuffy but not hot yet, 90 today
Ernestine: a regular skit used on the tv show Laugh In. She was played by Lily Tomlin.
Well a quick trip to Krogers and our afternoon meal out will probably be my day.
Happy Friday the 13th....S.J.
My Lord Chief! Don't kill yourself painting in that heat. Glad to hear you survived it.
Navy Jack, great news about getting help for a layout. Hope it works out good for you. If I lived near you, I would gladly help too.
No trains last night for Thursday night friends. Too hot and other things going on too. Wife and I went out to eat instead. Our #2 son is out of town until Saturday night. Went to car race near Salinas I think.
Have a good day,
Ray

NavyJack.....these same vets may be able to make some solid suggestions about finding the Doc. Re the A/C, they should all be on sale if a new one is in your forecast.....end of summer sales on these items.
Good afternoon everyone. It has been a good day. Had to go in and do some rounds, then a case and home. Picked up kids and all is well. Wife should be home soon and looking forward to dinner.
Bob, great that you are up and getting around. Hope the progress continues. I hear there is supposed to be a great view of Mars this month as well as a meteor shower putting on quite a show.
NavyJack, sounds like a number of folks are rallying to your cause on the OGR forum. Wish I was closer to be there too. Kudos to everyone helping you out and also to you in getting a layout. Though the guys are from OGR, please have them take some photos to share here. Also, I am sure that OGR would like to do a photo spread as both they and CTT have been supportive of troops and those serving.
God BLess,Dennis
I am in the process of getting all of my stuff transferred onto my new laptop. Here is what I bought.

It puts my old Compaq to shame in terms of build quality and performance.
Quick drive by;
Daughter came through minor surgery yesterday just fine. About a week to recover fully.
Next item of business:
