Good morning all,
Chuck, so glad to hear you are doing better. I will continue to remember you in prayer for complete recovery. Looking forward to seeing your post again
V8 Dennis, yes its hot over here too. It was over 100 yesterday and I didn't even go out until after dark. I laid down for a nap in the afternoon and slept for three and a half hours. I guess I needed it. We went out to eat and I had breakfast for dinner. I got one of those farmer breakfast with ham and 3 eggs plus home fries . The ham covered the whole plate so I gave half of it to my son who ordered something else. We get those parrots over here in Glendora too. They travel in big flocks and sometimes all of them will occupy the same tree. They are very noisy. They like fruit trees and feed on them. I don't really know where they came from. One story was that they escaped from someones aviary like you said but who knows.

Continued Heavy Rains and High 50s On Tap Today Up Here In Taxachusetts,
I would love to see the look on Chuck's face when he signs into the CTT forum and the Pot and realizes he is about 600 posts and 50 pages behind!!!!!!!!! Oh, the angst he will be experiencing, since he is the central topic of discussion.
Later, gang.
Jack.
IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Lunch Time,
Nice quiet day so far hope it stays that way.
SJ, Wish granny luck for Monday
Chuck, All good news.
Have a great day,
John

Morning all!
Great news about Chuck - our prayers continue for him and his family and a speedy recovery!
Doug - yes the foundation is critically affected in this weather. We are located deep in the city so the wildfires are not as big of a risk. Lots of dry grass (even when it is short) in the more rural areas blazes like crazy (one would not expect) and then it sets the trees on fire. On the news this morning they are now reporting over 1000 homes burned - and when we say burned - it means to the ground - only ashes and metal left - fire is so intense and moving so fast around a burning home that firefighters cannot get in there to battle it - so the home is lost.
Fife - excellent floatation for the yatchet.
Beautiful weather here - 50's this morning - mid 80's this afternoon!
Have a great day all!
Regards, Roy
Morning from Town Hall. Early breakfast meeting here. Now a noon lunch meeting [getting FAT from free meals].
Sun is out. Had about 2" of rain yesterday. Send some to Texas. Pond runith over.
Be great to see Chuck to sign on and give us Cheerios again.
Drywall. I DO NOT DO drywall. Especially tape, mud and sand.

Aloha. Beautiful fall day again. I echo the sentiments about Chuck - now praying for his long recovery. Jack, I got smart and asked Kelly to pick out the roof shingles. I think it matches the old ones. Those men worked swiftly. Now to pay for it all. Brutus, hope to borrow a tall ladder and attack those trees sometime this week.

I think it is safe to say that Blueberry's excellent recovery was due to "WINGS" and a ! Even NASCAR chipped in with a Chevy win.
dbaker - Good luck on the job(s) front.

Cool and rainy in SE Indiana today. I was so glad to hear about Chuck. Made my day. Good thing as game last night was awful. Windy, too windy, was not dressed warm enough, had to move to a different field, almost did not have enough players at first, did have one sub, game was very disorganized, one referee only, person I was guarding late in the game got the winning goal, and our team missed a potentially game tying PK with little time left. Was going to eat out afterwards but just went home. Almost a '66 Rodger Ward Victory Dinnner moment for me. Girls did win a JV game 1-0 after getting pounded in varsity 7-0. Long day at work. Got a monthly report on dad's investments and they took a hit in August. Wife said I snored too much. Hmmmm.......
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Great news Chuck - hang in there!
Brutus - contracting out the tape & mud part of the drywall job is not a bad idea. I keep saying that is what I will do on my next drywall job around the house. Somehow I never do.
All for now.
Go Chuck Go! Thanks for answered prayers!
Doug M - forgot to tell you, I won a Percy on ebay the other day for $55 plus $9 shipping. That's about half MSRP. The box is ripped up or something, but I don't care about that anyway.
Yeah - I was thinking about that trimmer, but I didn't go to Home Depot yet. I'll check it out one of these days. I need to finish current outdoors projects pretty soon, cause as James T will tell you, our Summer days are running out. I have about 20 more linear feet of bushes to cut out and dig up in front of the house. Then I need to scrub and power wash the front of the house. AND, then I need to install the vent and ventilation pieces in the basement for the bathroom down there, which includes the exhaust "port" in the side of the house. I'll worry about the jungle down in back of my property next year, I guess.
Once the bathroom is done in the basement, we can get the drywall taped and mudded I was going to do that myself, but Char wants to hire it out and I understand - I'm a slow worker, mostly because I don't put in many hours on the basement in a week, lol!
TARDIS is ready and we have Banilla, so let's get going men!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Don't let Chuck watch TV tonight, the Tigers just beat the Indians 10-1.
Praise be to God for answered prayers!!!!!!
I seriously thought about using attic trusses for a room above the addition, but it blocked the only window into the upstairs hall and we judged it would be too dark.
But I may get the old train room back. I did not paint over the layout murals.
May God bless, and continued prayers for Chuck!

Good Evening
61 and windy
Our daughter came by early afternoon with the boys and a pizza. We got a call from her at 5pm, her kidney stone was hurting her. I spent over an hour with her at a medical center and they still hadn't looked at her. She started feeling better by then so we checked out and left. I told her to call if it hurts again and we will go to an ER. Her husband should be home soon so I guess they can handle things for now. Banilla is ready...S.J.
Really Happy to hear about Chuck !!! Definetly the BEST NEWS of my day!! And Hats off to Paula as well this has had to have been a nightmare for her! Looking to forward to having him back.
Got through the jury duty today. Boy did they have a tough time filling the panel! Would ask a series of questions then an attorney would ask the juror a follow-up question and he would get a totally different answer. Then side-bar, the juror would be dismissed because of language barrier. What was really peculiar is that one juror had worked for 25 years with the post office, and still didn't understand. Was quite a day.
Did get the flag pole remains out of the ground, so now it will be easy to repair and replace. Wont even need to pull up the cement or nothing. Just cut about 12" off the bottom, repaint, and replant.
Chris asked about my job activities, I told him I had put in at Home Depot as well. So he says, Why didn't you tell me? The Store Manager is a a good friend, I can get you on there anytime! Seems the tables have reversed?? So will see what happens.
Received an email form the train club this am. Seems LA City Council and Dept of Parks and Rec, has done up new lease requirements and the future may be pretty grim. So will find out tomorrow night how significant that is, doesn't sound good.
Its Hot here, 88 with 40% humidity!! Guess we have Santa Ana winds coming in the week, so undoubtedly here come the fires.
Take care all.
Don
Like most of you, the news about Chuck brought a big smile to my face!!
Don't give up Chuck!

Best news of the year. Chuck is getting better!!!
Just talked to Chuck as he was waiting for the transport to the nursing home at Caldwell, Ohio near Blueberry Hill. His voice was strong. I told him about all the messages on the forum and he said, "Really?" I told him everyone had been pulling for him. I think we will see him post within the next 48 hours.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes for Chuck these past weeks.
CHUCK HAS DONE IT !!!!!!! YAHOOOOOO !!!!!

Sorry Chuck, I was that busy fighting those tooth destroying Krispys, I omitted my best wishes on beating your Gremlin
Keep in there batting boy! And the same goes for all of you with problems in the health department.

Pat yes I'm still here was wondering if you got lost.
Chief you were right
WOO HOO CHUCK !!
Great news about Chuck. Many prayers were answered. Hope to hear from you soon Blueberry.
So far only activity today was getting smog inspection on an 87 Buick Century. Passed with flying colors. Amazing! It's old but low milage.
Got a new newsletter from TTOS Southwestern. They say that they are getting too many sellers for the time alloted in the monthly aution. The meetings start at 10:00AM but the auction usually doesn't start until around 1:00PM or later. I'm usually gone by that time. In the old days I think it started after about 1 hour of table sales. My recommendation is to start it at Noon before half the members leave.
Great News CHUCK
Way to go will continue
