Good Evening!

Laz & Doug... Really fantastic pictures!  Really like the one of the kids next to the 4-8-8.

DJ.  Great move for Corey!  I'm sure things are not easy for him either.  Prays continue for Tyler and your family.

Kev, As the picture of the switcher is from Crivitz, Wi., Are you very familiar with the area?  Both sets of my fraternal Great Grandparents lived there.  One side had a farm, the other owned "Nesters Corner", which was a General Store, Bar, and Gas Station.  I remember being their often as a child.

Interesting time at work today.  First thing that has happened is at work, one of the guys left to return to school full time.  I was looking forward to 2 or 3 days, and cooler weather!  That's not happening, of course the weather is really hot right now, 102-105, hopefully short lived, schedules for the next to weeks are 40 hours each!  And this is the "slow" time.  Hmmmm.

Today was EXTREMELY EVENTFUL!  This morning the Chief Engineer on the RR decided it wa time for me to move over for some time in the Right Seat.  So I ended up Engineering the train for two trips.  That was cool !! Going to take some time to get use to the whistle cord, speed and braking distances.  Will be able to do this, just going to take some time.

Jusy putzed around the house this weekend.  We did enjoy an eight course beer tasting dinner last night.  Eight courses, each with a matching beer.

I did stop by the LHS yesterday to find that my cemetary kit for the halloween layout had arrived.  Also got an old caboose stripped, ready for a helloween themed repaint too.

About all for now.
