Jeffrey, just noticed today that you have been using the new avatar. Looks a lot more clear than the old one. This must be the same as the full size photo you posted the other day. Congratulations on your good medical report. I have an appointment with my regular doctor coming up on Wednesday. My Triglycerides have been too high in the past. I have doubled up on medication and have been walking more this time so I hope it is better. You had a great number on cholesterol.
Picked up grandson from High School today account his mother was visiting his cousin at UCLA medical center who injured his knee and leg. Possible surgery on Thursday.
Ran trains a little this morning. Tried out my new Southern GP9 shell on a Williams chasis today and put it in the consist with WBB A-B-B-A F3 Norfolk Southern set for extra power to pull all those dummy F units and a 6 car passenger train. They run great together.
Haven't heard anything from D.Baker and jefelectric John today. Imagine they are taking in a lot of Southern California things. Nice weather for it.
later,

Not much going on just work and such, been raining since yesterday afternoon.
Princess is gone for a month and Daddy isn't sure how to handle the peace and quiet. My gasoline bill will be much cheaper this mont for sure. Fortunately, her Mom is going to give her more driving lessons. Supposidly, she will be driving to Daytona (yesterday). I haven't heard from her since yesterday, but I'm sure all is well. It darn sure BETTER BE!!!!!!!
Went to a Camden and Amboy Historical group meeting on Friday and it was very interesting. A 180th anniversary celebration of the C&A through town will be held in October, hence my interest. I'm awaiting an email on the application to join the group. After the meeting, we were treated to a presentation of AMTRAKs vision on accessing new gateways into NYC. It was very interesting and revealing to be sure.
That's all from the Capitol City .... I'll check back soon!Rich

Good afternoon guys, Happy Birthday Chief. DID you ever get delivery of that dead possum or did your mailman steal it for himself? BlownoutCyl hang in there man. DougM I must have been too early. It was about 9:20pm our time?? Got a little sleep last night and over slept till I heard Jim’s truck running in his drive around 8:00am so I shot out of bed and we got 3 more loads of gravel. Six more and we are done. We are at 121 ton to date. The lane is looking much better.

We keep waiting for our neighbors on the lane to come out with their hands full of money and words of thanks for the improvements but not to be I guess.
Well I am going to take a muscle relaxer and see if that helps.
Have a good day guys.

Happy birthday to the Chief!
Good morning. It's 80° and partly cloudy. The high will be 95°.Got the doc appointment out of the way. Have to go back in two months. Learned the results of the lab work done before. The A1C count was much lower. 10.1 down to 7.2. Cholesterol is 81. My blood pressure is 129/78. Heart health great. Kidneys are in good shape. Looks like I'll be around for a while yet.No plans for today. I may get some layout work in later. I have a Lenz 1014 type decoder that needs to go into a loco. It's just a matter of selecting one from the available candidates.

I have today and tomorrow with the kidos!!!!! Then two dayz of detention for teachers then I am FREEEEEEEED!!!!!!!
KEV and JEFF, can YUZ GUYZ say post office bulletine board?
Stay frosty,
Reclinerized with Wiley and gang sleeping on their beds, floor and a pillow beside me. Now off to bed for me. Got an 8 AM and then rest of the day meetings and then Town Board tonight.
Sleep tight.
Back from the cabin. Nice weekend for getting some things done around the yard. Way to windy to go on the lake, roughest I've seen it since November.
Took the kids out for a ride at the property this afternoon. Spotted some bear tracks, seems Ole' Bart is still in the area.
Time for me to call it a night. Got a doctor appointment in the morning so that's the morning shot. Lower radiator hose on the van is looking good. No leaks. Goes to show that if you do it right the first time you don't have to do it again. I had thought about wrapping the old hose with duct tape. Done that in the past with good results. The hose was too soft so I decided mot to. New was the best way to go. No layout work today but I did run a train for a little while. The GP7's and GP35 got a good run. See y'all sometime tomorrow.
Good Evening....
Had a good evening here...getting ready for those ding treatment thingees this week...eek!
Anyways...heading off to ...g'nite!!!
Well i don't know what I did but I am going to try to get some sleep tonight, Got nothing last night because I can't find a spot where I don't hurt.
You all have a good night,
Sorry I looked for the thingey but no takers,
Later Guys
Good mug shot there Kev.
71 now. A nice day but windy. Another day with no train news and I still haven't read CTT. # 2 son stopped by and spent a couple hours today, It was nice to see him. Hmm but I wonder what he wants. We had a large crew last night on the thingy so I'll stick around and chat for awhile...S.J.
