Fife, Sounds like you have it covered. We installed a berm behind our shed to surface drain water coming down the north slop into one of 5 ravines on the property. I sure am glad we did that.

Going to be heading soon. So long everyone!

Doug and John,
Fife,
I am with Doug. A layout building occupying the 10 acres would mean less yard work. What part of WV?
I am glad I took the week off with all that I have to do to be ready for next Monday. Had an appointment yesterday for blood work and tests. The nurse seemed like she was from Chief territory though.
Waiting by the phone for the bodyshop to call, although I am not sure how to get the Mustang back here since PennDOT has the main road torn up. I don't want tar and gravel on fresh paint.
Don't think they'll like me at the shop when I pick the car up because I will be on the lookout for any and all flaws in their work. If it is anything less than perfect, I won't be happy.

It's a glorious morning here in the future Right to Work State of New Jersey!!! (if ya can't take a joke....)
Fife...Seen this in 2 states, here's my recommendation: The problem mostly is the under brush. Clearly you need at least 100' from your structure cleared away (John if I'm wrong, make the corrections). At the forest/tree line, if you clear out the under brush, you are miles ahead. Now, I get that clearing 10 acres is a big chore, bur if you clear an added 100' back, that's an advantage. It's the under brush that is the problem. I'll check with one of my fellow firefighters as he works Part Time for the State Forestry Service as a brush jumper.
DougM - 25 again?
Jeff - thanks for the edit on my last post - And I hear ya on that $30....did the same yesterday.
Going to get my new rear springs for the Reliant, should bring up the aft to sit better.
Made a new friend on the internet it seems...here's HIS car....it is a '86 Reliant SE Coupe

Good morning. It's 72° with 43% humidity. It'll be sunny with a high of 85°.I'm not feeling good this morning so I'm getting a slow start. My balance is off by quite a bit so the room seems to tilt this way and that. Think I'll stay inside today. I probably won't be doing much of anything on the layout.Today's word is dokualela. It's something any model railroader is familiar with. It translates to 'locomotive'.

Yep your here Jeff.
Lunch break,
Beautiful day for Doug's birthday.
City of Chicago is going to use firefighters to protect children walking to schools?
Lunch of Shrimp Almond Ding and Shrimp Fried Rice left overs.
Working on the tunnel liner.
Brent, was it you that said I need three coats of the plaster cloth?
Fife, How much timber do you have on the land? You may consider having a logging company thin it out by removing the dead and dying. They have machines that can grind up the biomass that is left over. Just a thought and you could get a little money too. Do you have to construct your driveway to? If so how long?

A little cooler today but not much.
Need to get caller I.D. Too many salesmen calls for stuff I don't want. Never buy anything over the phone anyway. Never know who you are dealing with.
Jeffrey, I saw Randolph Scott in another movie yesterday. Came in on the middle of it. He was pilot on some kind of antique flying boat airplane with twin engines mounted on top of wing. Yokes looked like steering wheels in an automobile. Must have been low buget film. Also shows this thing landing and taking off in rough seas that would have been impossible but Hollywood never let facts get in the way of a good story. I remember that line in a Statler Bros. song "whatever happened to Randolph Scott"? Well, I think we found him. I think his film "Western Union" was a good one as I recall.

Some train box photos in a separate thread. Too many to post here.
The temp is 62
Summer temps to the west will reach us tomorrow. Charlie stopped by after work and we had about a 30 minute chat. Not a busy day for me so I am just checking in. Banilla will be ready. I only had to share with Brutus last night but I think he took seconds...S.J.
Happy Birthday Doug Murphy!!! I'm disappointed that I was not able to fly to Chicago for your big party, but maybe next year.

Nice post Chief,,,,, Where is the Tunnel ?????
Good to see your progress.
Funny how some don't drop something after a modrator has asked the subject be drop. They just have to have the last word period.
jeffrey-wimberly OK guys, this is starting to get personal. That's enough about the unions. Let's move on to something else.

Thanks Jeffery, Nothing Personal here I have had tons of diversity training, seems others have no clue.
I only made a observation about RTW states On RT's comment. All of the other flowed over the top, Next I will be accused of being a internet bully. "again"

KRM Work tomorrow for minimum wage. Just because I can on my Union earned pension. ( " if you can take a joke" ) Oh yeah, I am not Pi$$ed just puzzled. There is a reason that Corporations and Unions agree to Anger Management for the over the top people.

There is a reason that Corporations and Unions agree to Anger Management for the over the top people. Where did this come from? I'm confused. What does this have to do with my photos? Maybe a completely different subject. I think this was suppose to be closed. I think I need to take a vacation from the Pot. Getting under my skin.
Ditto chief think its time for me also to take a vacation from the pot
Great work on the box...love how it came together. Do you have the plans for it still around?
Sunny and in the low 80's today.
Here are a couple of pictures of the 5 acres in Ky. we just bought.
Kind of put a dent in this year's train budget.
Something has changed in Photobucket. I'm not sure why I got small sized pictures here. I copied the URL address, like I usually do....
All for now.
Please folks, no more union talk. I'm getting complaints about it no matter where it's posted. Kev, I deleted some of yours from Chief's photo thread after I got complaint's about it.

Watched some sci-fi movies today. Later I gave four GP40's a good long run. Three are Bachmann rebuilds and one is an Atlas. Guess which one is loudest. It ain't any of the Bachmann's and only one of them is anywhere near new. My father and I went to Fox's Pizza tonight. He had lasagna with a side salad and root beer and I had a 9" taco pizza with a Dr Pepper. I sitting at home now typing this and watching the four GP40's pulling a thirty car freight train. All four have DZ125 decoders.
Happy Birthday Doug - God bless!
Nice pic, Jeffrey! Nice picks Bill - those look like the woods behind my house, minus a lot of underbrush and wild roses and scrub. I've been cleaning mine out, but it's a losing battle right now - we'll see. Yep - I had 2nds on the banilla last night TARDIS is ready, so let's get out of here and have some fun!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Hello all
Day four of this cold. Getting kinda old. Would have been nice to have spent the day off working on the car or something, but noooo...
Nice pic Jeff!
And Happy Birthday Doug!!!
