It is nice Doug, So nice I decided to get out the old truimph Trident and go for a 40 min ride along the IL river. Got luckey and did not get hit in the mouth by any of those Japanese Beatles. She ran great. Think I will give her a wash job now.
Why would someone waste good alcohol on a car??

Good morning all,
Went for a walk this morning but getting warm. Cleaned out filter for air conditoner and not a minute too soon. Should work better now.
Chief, thanks for the pictures. Layout is coming along nicely. You will have a nice show place there for your friends. Looking forward to seeing trains running.
jeelectric, good to see your post which indicates you made it back home OK. Hope you had a nice visit out here in California. It was a pleasure to meet you. Just wish we had more time.
Doug Murphy, I don't have a CD burner on my computer. Is that something you can add on? Maybe I can find somebody who has one that can do it for me.
Laz, belated congratulations on your anniversary. Best wishes for many more. I'm going to start calling you the marathon man after all the running, walking, hiking and bike riding you do. You ought to live to be a hundred at that rate. Does Mrs. Laz run with you? Maybe she read the book "It's OK not to Run". Just Jealous. I only walk about 30 minutes a day and thought that was good.
Dennis, Amazing that $50 is all they get for each child at the orphanage. I hope some of the money that you and others have to pay will go to help but not holding my breath. Hope you and the new kids will be together soon without any further delays.
Took a nap yesterday afternoon. Layed down about 5:00PM and didn't wake up until about 8:00PM. The wife and my oldest son were wanting to know "when are we going to eat". I have spoiled them with doing the cooking sometimes. Thought about taking them out for dinner but everyone was so hungry we just threw together some bacon and eggs. That was probably better than restaurant food anyway.
Might go out with friends for dinner tonight. They usually like to go on Saturday or Sunday. I have been able to tolerate food better in the last couple of weeks since I have been on the new meds thankfully. Will see G.I. doctor Tuesday.
Joe, regarding Buster Keaton, he had a bit part in Mad Mad Mad World but don't think he talked in that either. I did see him in a movie with Van Johnson and Judy Garland. I think it was "The Shop Around the Corner" in which he plays the nephew of the store owner. He had a speaking part in that. When Buster signed a contract with MGM, that wrecked his career for doing the kind of stuff he was good at. The studio just gave him stupid parts. One of the last things he did was a public relations film for the Canadian Government I think in which he rides a track car (speeder) all across Canada. It was in color and showed off the scenery along the way. It was called "The Railrodder" Funny flick!
later,

I just looked in on the Bachmann boxcar I have soaking in the alcohol. So far no apparent harm to the car nor to the paint. That was some pretty tough stuff I was using about twenty-five years ago. Krylon gray primer I think.
Afternoon all!
Been AWOL again. So much going on here with work and home by the end of the day it is time to collaspe.
Spent a week and a half working on a new vehicle for the new grad son. That took all of my spare time but we finally closed the issue last night. he now has a Jeep Wrangler 4 door. Pretty neat.
Made progress on the garden shed foundation and then found out I am going to have to move it 3 feet due to city "super secret" restrictions. Turns out the city in updating their web site lost the lastest regulations on outbuildings.
Will be in and out the next few weeks due to continued work load (big project) and summer fun
Fifer - OW, OW, OW - my eyessssss......
Hope all are well and for those in need.
Regards, Roy
I too SP Ray have spoiled my wife and now she thinks I am the cook? The good part is I always know I will like what is on the plate. Well here is the first shot for the welding repair scene. Still have to do the under the table wiring but will do that when I add light to two other buildings.

Ray, thanks, I should have more clear on that. The $50.00 is all that they are given by the state. They do get a rearing fee as part of the adoption. That is one great thing about adopting from China. You know the system, there is a set fee for each leg of the journey. No corruption. The orphanages do the best they can with what they have.
Kevin, that is a nice scene coming together. That is something I wish CTT would spend more print space on, how folks create certain scenes and layout methods.
Well, we spent the day with some friends for their son's birthday party. It was nice, but happy to be home. Will do violin with the kids and then some layout work.
God bless,
Dennis

Looking good kev. not a lot going on here today. took wife shopping. oh yeah.
Okay wife and I had a good laugh today I know I'm missing something but don't care either so here's the story we were out going to the store in the truck its about 95 outside and we come to a stop light well theres a park type bench there as its a bus stop also but here what got us there sits a young man about early 20's with a hoodie on and has a magazine in his hand fanning himself hello take the sweat shirt off dummy I don't care how cool its suppose to make you look sweating to death isn't smart its called dehydration you can die from it
Not much else happening around here. Talk to you all later

Well I had the Bachmann boxcar in to soak for twelve hours and 91% alcohol didn't even faze the paint. Model is unharmed as well.
Rich, not sure what it is because it is not black and white. But I do like it!! You know today something happened when I was on the bike. I went past a camp ground where there were guys standing in the street to let bikers out onto the road, I was driving on like I should stop. Anyway they let these two woman bikers out in front of me and they were doing about 5 MPH and the one did not know how to shut off her left-hand turn blinker. So I was thinking about passing them and before I could. "THANK GOD"!!! some stupid SOB flew around me on the left with no thought what so ever. We could of all been dead. Then the two woman bikers took off following the stupid As*H%*&s. So I got to thinking that all those stupid jurks we see all week on the road doing stupid things must just get on a bike on the weekend. No wonder there is so many motorcycle deaths every year. JMHO!

Good Evening
Well, our part of the yard sale did pretty good...$900 ..a few others had about the same but most were in the $200-300 area. So my rap bit must have done the trick....even if I look like a bedraggled little muffinhead....
Anyways...we had a good time and saw a lot of folks from around the area...so that was a fine day to be had...
dwiemer Kevin, that is a nice scene coming together. That is something I wish CTT would spend more print space on, how folks create certain scenes and layout methods.
Dennis, If you or anyone would like to know how to do something I have done just send me a PM and I will help you out. I just like trying to do things without paying the price of readymade Right Fifedog??? Good take BOC!!!

Here's something you don't see every day: A Great Dane and a Pit Bull eating watermelon.

They will eat anything if you coat it with blood.

Time for me to call it a night. I popped the two cabooses back into the alcohol (new and clean) to dissolve what's left of the paint. They look a bit tacky with bits of paint sticking off at all angles. It's been my experience that Bachmann models can take a long time to be stripped. I've had to leave some HO models in to soak for forty-eight hours or more with no harm to the plastic. See y'all tomorrow.
Hello all
Back from Beaufort NC.
Car is unloaded but most of the stuff needs put away
Been out of touch for a week. Crossed the Mason Dixon twice with no resistance. Fifes brothers in VA were busy today. I saw at least two dozen while passing through there today. All but three were writing tickets. Only ones I saw going both directions.
Not sure whats up on the Pot. It'll take me a few days to catch up.
Hill climb tomorrow. Try to get back on Monday or Tuesday
Prayers for those in need

Rushed home from lake house today just in time for Wifey, SIL and Hubby to attend the NC Symphony performance. They had "young sweet thing" conducting the 80's rock. They did an excellent job. Singers too.
A Yankee slipped over the M&D and back up Nawth and we did not catch him. Glad you had a safe trip, Banks.
Need sleep. Cooked squash until 12:30 AM this morning [late getting to lake house]. Then had to wait for it to cool. Put two bags in freeze at the lake house. Then Lucy jumped on me and barked at 6:50 this morning. Worked on dock until 1:30. Mowed and drove home.
Sleep tight all.

We had a nice summer day with temp around 80. I spent as much time outside as I could. Even had my nap with the patio door open. Granny tried a new recipe for Mac & Cheese, it was tasty but dry. Next time granny will adjust as all cooks do. Had a chat tonight with Charlie, Kevin, and RT. Brutus was a no show, very unusual, hope all is well there. Banilla was good tonight..S.J.

Good Morning
We are currently dull dull dull with little tiny dribblings going on out here...59F going to oa high of 81F with not much humidity...
Going to try to get some train stuff done today and see if I can run some trains through the area I had to rebuild...again
Have a good day!!
Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Pleasant day in the Land of Pleasant Living (old National Beer commercial). Going to the Great Scale show @ 10, then to the pool. Last day of staycation.
KRM - I second that! It's been fun watching your "garden" grow.
Banks - Glad you made it back across the border with your license intact. Even I was amazed by the number of trooper cars on 95, going through Virginia. One or two of my coworkers learned they don't mess around, either...
Blueberry - a while back Buckeye spoke of slipping over the Mason-Dixon. Perhaps he's deep in Reb territory. Haven't seen him in Maryland.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR....
It is a sunny 72 degrees. Going up to 86 today with sunshine.
Today is an easy day. I have the usual chores to do and then Iwill spend some time in the train room. Needs some dusting. Ballgame this afternoon. Maybe a nap, later.
fifedog... Buckeye is in Ohio. Working on gas.
Dining car is here with Cheerios for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Sunday.
Chuck
Good Morning: With "Debby" churning off the coast and rain in the neighborhood, it's an ideal day to play with the trains. Have a great day.
Ohayō,
We had a very nice Sunday: Sunday school and church in the morning and relaxation in the afternoon and evening. However, I did build a garden bench for the wife this afternoon, but it was fun and easy to build so it was not work. I used some leftover fence wood and the kids helped me build it. I just need to sand it and paint it and then it will be ready for the front porch garden area. I grilled some burgers for dinner and enjoyed a root beer float for dessert. It’s time to finish some reading and then get some sleep.
SP Ray – I haven’t seen that one but it sounds good. My favorite is Seven Chances. The stunts and camera work are amazing.
Sayonara,
Joe
Hi guys, yet another nice day on the North Bluff. They are talking about something called rain??? Oh yeah and talking about it getting to 100 next week. YUCK!! No plans for today other than filling out my healthy balance questioner they make us fill out twice a year to keep our Health Ins premiums down. Where is my cheat sheet ? Somehow I slipped and fell out of the Tardis last night, or everyone else did? Traindaddy, I think you have a good plan. Anyways u guys have a good day and prayers for those in need.

It's 74, cloudy, going into the 80s. I have the windows open and they will stay that way till it gets hot in here. I waited 9 months for summer and don't plan to spoil it by leaving the house closed up. I need to find some breakfast or something edible at least. Last week of June already.....S.J.
Kev it was you we tried to grab for you but you were gone in a flash again. I had gotten up to remove A/c from window and Sj said he went to take a pill and we come back and see you falling out the door.
morning all. Nothing planned for today so guess will run trains some and relax. Ran trains 2 different times yesterday so they did get to run. Be glad when I get a loop that has better than O-54 curves so I can run my atlas scale tank cars and boxcars. But that will come in time right now they look great sitting on the shelf above my desk.
Well will talk to you all later hope you all have a good Sunday
