Good morning all,
It is rainy in SE Indiana. Bran muffins on the dining car this morning. TBIL and I can drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

HI GUYS
COOL TODAY. A FEW MORE DAYS AND THEN, I CAN GO HOME. GETTING BETTER.
Hi GUYZ,
Nice at 44 this morning going up to 68.
BEARS loose! BOO HOO. Got the FUDGE PACKERS this week.
Have a good day.
Stay frosty,

Good night all. Reclinerized too long.
Roy, when I was on a large dose for several months of the same years back, they gave me Ambien. A problem with that was my body got use to it [about 4 months in a row]. Took two more months of taper doses to get me off. Sure do sleep well though. Benadryl makes me sleep. Take it for alergic reations. When I do, crash.
Sleep tight.
Evening!
Cowboys somehow pulled it out this afternoon and beat the 49ers.
Ray and Dennis - thanks. Dennis I may try the Benadryl in a day or two if the sleep issue persists. The steroids is a 7 day pack. Take one less each day.
Wow - we had rain here - 1.5 inches at our house. We sure needed it and the storm is hitting a few of the lakes here. Sure need it.
Sure like hearing good news Chuck!
Have a great evening all!
Regards, Roy
Hope all are feeling better today. We had a great day with family stuff and a big get together at my folks' house. TARDIS is ready, so let's get moving :)
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good evening guys. Had a great day with church. We are having a "ReFRESH" conference which has a tone of revival, but also a lot of self reflection. Gotta get your own heart right before working on others.
Joe, glad you liked it there. It is a good place and some good people. I hope to get out that way for a visit soon, but we do have some things for the next couple of weekends. My bride and I have to attend a meeting for adoptive families next weekend and then I will be on call after that. I will give you a call.
Bob, glad to see you doing well out there. One thing that I find is that by being the "go-to-guy" is that you may never get the praise, or even the thanks, but somehow, when the stuff hits the fan, you are still the one they call to make things right. We keep you in prayer for guidance and discernment.
Chief, as I was informed a few years ago...it is called "THE Ohio State University". Don't want any bundled underwear. Between the issues at Miami, OSU's problems and so many others that we hear about, I just wish they would get back to playing the game. As for BBQ, I could really go for some now, but my bride and I are trying to eat better....oh well.
Roy, you may find some sleep aid in Benadryl. I would wait till you have the following day off if you are not used to it, it can really make you groggy the following day. I often take it because of the arthritic pain in my neck, and I have to keep away from pain medication due to testing for drug tests that can come at random...(not that I have done anything, but all clinical medical staff at our hospital are subject to it)
Well, time to hit the sheets. Rest of family is sick with colds, so I better get some rest and hopefully stay healthy.God Bless,Dennis

Good evening all,
Busy weekend. Reffed two youth games then watched "my" soccer boys set a school record for soccer wins (current record is 10-0-1). True test is this week as they face their three toughest conference foes with 3 games in five days. If they win or tie all three, they should finish the regular season undefeated. Finished painting the fence posts Saturday. Will have to do the ones on the other side next year. Barn door needs the work more. Sunday mowed the yard and trimmed the trees along the neighbor's property. Rough day in the IRL as Vitor was 25th after getting punted and Swiss Miss was 14th. Dixon won. I hope everyone has a good day.
Been a quiet day here. Just reflected on my blessings and trying to stay grateful. My ailments are tolerable today. I feel lucky compared to some of my friends and relatives. My sister in the hospital for cancer treatment may come home tomorrow they say and will meet with the radiology people for the next step. She is already set up with a chemtherapy port. She says she is getting lots of visitors and friends. I would be there too if I lived in her neck of the woods.
Roy, hang in there with the steroids. Hope you sleep better tonight and that they do you some good with reducing inflamation.
Chuck, nice to hear from you each day. Almost like old times. Are they giving you any Cherios yet? You will be home before you know it.
V8 Dennis, You may be right about the grocery strike. I just saw on the news workers putting together placards for the picket line. It's really a bad time for a strike. Stores have already started hiring scabs to take over if they walk. We will only have one store to go to over here without crossing a picket line. I picked up a few things today at the store but did not freak out with panic buying. We've been through this before.
Chief, who won the Bar-b-que contest? Was it home made or commercial?
Watched a TV special about Louis Prima today. I saw them in Vegas in 1958 when he was still married to Keely Smith. They were great! They broke up a few years later. Too bad I thought they were better together than apart. He has a son that looks a lot like him who also has a band and plays some of his father's stuff.
Had a nice dinner last night to celebrate our pastor's 25th jubilee.
later,
Ray

sir james I Good Evening Brought in the last of the tomatoes today pulled up the plants, such a sad occasion. Got out the dog sled. Tuned up the huskies. S.J.

Evening. Stayed cloudy but no rain. Took tube deer feeders apart and cleaned out the swolen corn [from so much rain]. Went to Lowe's and got light fixtures. One went well and one caused me to loose all of my religion. Plus had to modify bracket to get it to work [1940 house]. Chinese time.
Later
I was up early for breakfast and then visited a church Dennis recommended. It was a very nice service and convicting message. Thanks for the help Dennis. A couple classmates and I went to a local restaurant to have wings and watch the early NFL games. The restaurant had all of them on and there were some very entertaining games to watch. My Dolphins are about to lose now. I have some homework to finish before the late game starts.
AF Ray - We lost today but I believe the Sox did as well. I hope you get to see 602 on Tuesday; that would be amazing.
Fife - The Titans deflated the Ravens' bubble.
Chief - The OSU-Miami game should have been called the Cheater Bowl. I have no desire to watch either of those teams and we Big 10 folks should disown OSU.
SJ - I hope you were able to watch your Lions whoop the Chiefs.
Bob - I am trying to change the AF's image. The class I'm attending also has Soldiers and Sailors so I don't want to look bad either. Also, my job requires a higher level of fitness.
Chuck - Great job on the PT.
Good night,
Joe
64 and rain expected overnight.
No nap today, The Lions won 48-3, I won't mention that it was Kansas City. I guess granny's doing ok, it's hard to tell yet, she's not moaning and groaning so that has to be a good sign. Brought in the last of the tomatoes today pulled up the plants, such a sad occasion. Banilla is ready...S.J.

Afternoon all!
Doug - your rain delaying NASCAR - send it down here please!
We actually got about 1/2 inch Friday night and forgot to note it here. We might get some rain tonight.
Poor Buckeye - Ohizo economy slumps when Ohio looses...
Cowboys vs 49ers at 3 here. Sports writers finally acknowledged in the paper this morning that Cowboys have not had real success since the 90's - DUH.
Steroids making me jittery and as they advertise, I didn't sleep well last night.
Hope everyone has a great day today!
EDIT - Doug - LAZ, ouch Bears losing to Saints
Aloha from a grey and cool Crystal Lake. Supposed to rain - been a dry month but not Roy-Texas dry. Super-great to see Chuck's posting. Bob, I too am intrigued by the Chief's BBQ truck Hope you fix that generator.

GOOD MORNING FROM BLUEBERRYHILL....

Afew more days. Seems like I have been gone for a long time.
You have been. You are headed home now.
Cloudy and chilly. Warming and clearing by end of day. Set a record lowest high yesterday. Lazy and slow moving today.
Have a great week.
PS: A minor thing I forgot to post Univ. of Miami [ACC team] beat Ohio State 24-6. That means a certain fellow will not post for a week or more.
Quote from Sports Media:
"The Buckeyes have appeared in every The Associated Press poll since Nov. 28, 2004. And for the first time in exactly 23 years, the Buckeyes lost a road game to an unranked nonconference opponent — the last time that happened was Sept. 17, 1988, a 42-10 defeat at Pittsburgh in John Cooper's first season."
47 here this morning. Nice and sunny too. Gonna take my gal for a nice 3.5 miler this morning and then do grocery shopping.
DOUG M, hope da BEARS WIN?
Off in an hour or so to see the Collings Foundation's vintage WWII aircraft with the son and the SIL. We won't be taking any rides in the B17 Flying Fortress, B24 Liberator, or the P51 Mustang.......prices start over $400 per person on the bombers for a 30 minute ride, and I think about $2,000 for the Mustang which has been re-fitted to seat 2, the pilot plus one. But I do hope to take a tour of the aircraft, pour over the displays, and take in the lectures on our history. And.......see some takeoffs and landings!!!
Continued prayers for Granny, Ray, Roy, and Chuck. Glad to hear all are doing better.
8N........you must be feeling pretty low after the loss of your pup. You may recall that nearly 3 years ago my wife and I unexpectedly lost our two just three days apart. Coming home to an empty house without them there to happily greet us was too much. You I just hope that you know that the awful pain you feel has replaced that of your pup's in that final, most difficult act of kindness.
As Laz said, getting another dog will soothe the soul and take some of the sting out of it......not that the dog we/you lost can be replaced, but the circle of life has to begin again.
SP Ray......a good canine trainer can help you teach your dog to NOT pull on the leash in less than 5 minutes. No food. No commands. Despite breed and instinct or age, and any and all distractions, including a herd of squirrels, rabbits, cats, other dogs, frisbees, and balls. I witnessed three such dogs yesterday at training and scores in our experience. The techniques never fail and are simple. And it does not require a tug of war or strentgh.
Later, gang!!!!!

We are getting Sir J some Depends.
Long day. Reclinerized until Lucy woke me. All out and back in. Stopped raining. Off to bed.
Prayers for Chuck, Ray, Roy, Granny, and for all our intentions. Congrats to the boy, Roy!
Kids are getting stuff ready and then heading to bed! They are bouncing off the walls! We got the ham and stuff over to my folks' house for tomorrow. We have had a lot of cold wet weather here lately and I finally got the back yard mowed, even though it was very wet. I couldn't mow the front or side, as it was too wet for the riding mower and I didn't feel like doing it with the push mower, that's for sure. I did mow down in around the trees and nearly stepped in a big hole, where an old stump that was buried has obviously rotted out. I'll fill it with some rock and dirt next weekend, as I have some piles of both available. A short but nice talk with SJ today.
TARDIS is ready and I know where the key is hidden for the banilla. AF - hope John is having a good time and wins some money, but I never win when I gamble, so that takes the fun out of it
Good Evening All!
Not much going on here just alot of work. Tomorrows going to be a nice day as HudsonJohn and another of my brother-in-laws head south (no Chief, not that far south) to Atlantic City for a nice dinner for my nephews bachelor party. Might even win some bucks!
8N - As much as they give us so much joy over the years it always seems to put a hollow feeling when they go. Time will heal this wound too.
Chuck - Almost seems like you're back to normal! Nice!
JoeD - Yanks win again as the Saux lose again (sorry Jack). Great to see Rivera saving number 601. Our last game for this year is Tue night. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Roy - Good news bad news! Probably takes the joy from your son's news. Congrats anyway.
Enjoy Sunday everyone!

Interesting day here on the hill. We have had power down to the site for the last couple of days during the daylight hours for the yearly maintenance on the system. We have a portable generator (mil. surplus) to provide us with power for the maser, which is an atomic clock. It can't lose power or it loses calibration, and the only way to calibrate a maser is w/ another maser.
Well the portable wouldn't produce electical power this morning. The other operator woke me up (I'm working a night shift since there's not much to do w/ the power down.) and it was definitely down for the count. Ran a number of extension cords over to the utility building where they had another portable generator to keep things alive. Couple that w/ a major fuel leak on the primary backup generator (800 KW) and life gets interesting. I think it's time to look into our own portable.
Laz - the loss of shop classes is a sad state of affairs, but thanks for keeping the faith!
Keep going Chuck!
Joe.D. - 10 miles!? In the south? Thought you were in the Air Force not the Army...
Chief - you have a BBQ fire truck? Now that's innovation. The Mech. Eng. Dept here at the university has two old trucks that I walk past regularly. Not sure what there for. Need to post some pictures and see if the guys here can identify them.
Off to find some dinner.

Always said I felt I was born in the wrong area of the united states I like the south better.
rtraincollector Chief I got a compliment that you will try to trash I'm sure but this was from a real southern gentleman I made the comment I was a da mn Yankee and he asked how long I have been living in the south and I told him since 1975 so 36 years he said that long you are a southern and from what I have seen you have the politeness of one. you have learned well and you can concider yourself one that just was born in the wrong place.
