Buckeyes had so many birthdays I have no idea when it really is. Is someone counting dog years or is Buckeye aging faster than the rest of us?

38 degrees and gloomy..

I must of overslept.

 Brutus, Great news for Char and you. 

Jeffery Good to hear you doing better today, take it easy.    I am calling the foot Dr. as soon as they open, may see him today too. 

By the way I like the bright colors on that New Haven car.

Buckeye         I think 

Chief Looks like you get the good weather……..again.  

LAZ??? PILE UPs

 

YOU??  

 

Later all,

Have a good one.

Buckeye... Happy Birthday

Is he going for 2 this month since its actually his birth month instead of the normal 1 a month well Happy

Good morning. It's 48° and mostly cloudy. The high will be 62°.

Feeling much better this morning. I have a slight headache but that will pass. I have an appointment with the foot doc this afternoon so that's the afternoon pretty much shot. I may be able to get a couple of cars weathered. There's still the question of what to do with the New Haven car. Do I keep it as is or do I strip it and repaint it? I really don't need a New Haven car.

[sir james I]

36 degrees and gloomy..

No errands today so I'll just take whatever comes along...S.J.

Aloha . Colder and greyer today. Great news about Char and Jeffrey.

Laz, I usually run one train on its own track, but just to 'spice things up', I'll switch their tracks - and reverse the train (swap engine and brake van). Then I like reacting to the new operational realities.

[jeffrey-wimberly]

Brutus: Great news about Char.

Buckeye

[Blueberryhill RR]

Buckeye... Happy Birthday

[Blueberryhill RR]

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....

It is a cold and frosty 30 degrees. Going up to 46 today with some sunshine.

Today is a busy day. I have a few errands to run and the usual chores to do. I hope to get down to the train room this week. Need to run trains.

Good news to hear about CHAR.

Dining car is here with Cheerios for breakfast.

Y'all have a great Tuesday.

Chuck

Konbanwa,

I have time for a quick post:

David – You did great looking after Jeffrey.  I'm glad you are familiar with his situation and took the time react.

Jeffrey – I hope you are back to 100% soon. 

Brutus – I’m glad to hear the great news about Char. 

I’ll pray for all of us in need.

Sayonara,

Joe

Morning.  Warmer this AM.  Going to get front deck materials for the Box.  Waiting to hear from ins. adjuster.

All have a great day.  Hope your day is as pretty as mine.  Sunny and warm.

[dwiemer]

Good morning all.  Got a busy day ahead so will post and run.  Brutus, great news on Char!  Jeffrey, you may want to go see a good endocrinologist to get things straight.  Even if you have seen one in the past, as your body changes, it may be time to make some changes in your treatment.  

Well, we got some updated photos and a video on our daughter.  She was walking well and was looking straight into the camera, which is a good sign to her vision ability.  At best, she will be legally blind. This morning, we also got a few photos of our son.  Really looking forward to getting them!

Gotta run.  God bless,

Dennis

HI GUYZ,

  JEFF glad to here you are ok.  Good to have a friend like DAVID near.  Take it easy bud.

Not much going on, yesterday put a few switches in on layout.  Wanted to reverse an engine just to put a little spice in the running of trains.  Maybe have a few PILE UPs on Friday?  Stay tuned......

Stay frosty,

[MichRR714]

Jeffrey, glad to hear your feeling a little better tonight.  What a scare!  I'll be thinking about you

David, great job assisting Jeffrey.    

Prayers tonight for all in need.

[RockIsland52]

Jeff.........it took me forever (slow forum) catch up on my reading, get to, and then read, David's first post about you.  I was blown away.This episode was too close for comfort.  Just as amazing was your last post.  

I hope you are able to get a good night's sleep and are feeling far better in the morning.  Your friends here are pulling for you and have redirected their prayers tonight..  

Jack

[jeffrey-wimberly]

David just checked on me. I feel much better. He checked my blood sugar, temp and blood pressure. All are OK. I see the forum is running VERY slow. At least I'm moving faster than something.

[Brutus]

Howdy guys - been busy.  Char got the results from her bone marrow biopsy she had while I was in VA, near DC.  Her fibers were original 4+ on a scale of 0 to 4.  They are now down to 1 on a scale of 0 to 4, so that is great news   The doctor also got all the paperwork through the insurance to keep them and that hospital (SLU) for her continued treatment.  He reduced some of her medicine, so we'll see how she does.

Prayers are out for those in need and congrats to your daughter, Rich.  I'll catch up on the posts tomorrow - just feel worn out today and it's time for bed.  TTFN.

[tmcc man]

Jeffrey, I'm saying prayers for you buddy!

David, there needs to be more people like you in the world!

Night all.

[ChiefEagles]

David, great job with Jeffrey.  Jeffrey, got to do better.  Need to have those pictures posted all the time.

Town Board was great.  Getting the air rifle back in being legal in Town Limits.

Now for some popcorn and TV.

Hello all,

Man is the forum slow .......

All the Yankees on here filling it with BS.   Actually it is worse than slow.

Off to join Mrs for an early bedtime

OH, what I can read into that statement.

Sleep tight.

[AF53]

David - Great job! We all could use a pal like you.

Jeffrey - Slow and steady wins the race.

Ray

[SPMan]

David, good job on taking care of Jeffrey.  You probably saved his life. 

Jeffrey, you are lucky to have such a good friend.  Take care of yourself and hope you are back on your feet soon.  I was just reading your last post this afternoon when you said you felt light headed.  Surprised how fast this thing hit you.  Keep some orange juice handy next time you need it.  Have a good night and looking forward to your next post.

Ray

[jeffrey-wimberly]

Hello all,

Man is the forum slow .......

Had a post planned but tonight I'll add a prayer for Jeffry. My dad has had an episode or two similar. I concur with Dennis on the Glucose gel. No need to wait for it to disolve.

Off to join Mrs for an early bedtime

 

Prayers for those in need

Good evening everyone.  Was coming back to tell about insurance and the adoption update.  Instead, it is more pertinent to talk about Jeff.  For those with diabetes, or those with a loved one having this, you really have to stay on top of things.  Most times, they develope a crisis so fast, they become incompcitated before they can call for help.  It is important to have glucose on hand.  While David had pills, they can be hard to get the person to ingest them.  Perhaps a better thing to have on hand is the glucose gel that comes in a squeeze tube.  This way you don't need the water.  If the person doesn't have big issues with triglycerides, a great thing to have on hand is orange juice.  If the person starts to have the slightest issue where their glucose levels "feel low", they can quickly have a drink of OJ.  OJ is great as the body absorbs it quickly.

Good job Dave.  Watch Jeff and make sure he gets some food down.

God bless,

Dennis

You are so right Dennis, and you can add sugar to the OJ for a bigger blast back.

In the case of my first wife she had no pancreas function at all so she could get violent with the glucose drop as well.

David - Tell Jeff we're praying for him.......firefighters are tough dudes. 

Happy Super Bowl Monday!!

 

It was a tough game, but BIG BLUE are Super Bowl Champions!

Alas, I will NOT be able to get to MetLife Stadium for the Jersey festivities, as I am working!!!  Radio will be on to listen to it happen.

Sorry, Jack

Princess is now gainfully employed and happy to be so.  As long as her work does not falter, we're good to go.

Roy for the Mrs.

Not much else going on....just checking in.  I've only read from page 12, so I'll catch up later.
