We had a Great 4th of July. A good BBQ and the fireworks were fantastic. Doray is still at the Ice Cream Shop for it is a few blocks from where the fire works were set off. They had activities there and a lot of the crowd stopped at the shop.

Happy July 4th,

John

Happy 4th all.

Some of the local bozo's are firing off some aerial bombs, as dry as things are here that ain't a very wise thing to do.

Found out we may be a bit short handed tomorrow, need to pack some extra stuff to take with me.

Short break from the heat, far to short, hot again today although it only hit 99*.

Nite all.

ps Hope the fireworks in San Diego go off better than they did last year.

Happy 4th of July, all.  We just got back from watching the city's fireworks display.  Pretty good this year.  We could also watch the display of the next town south of us.  Their display ran longer than ours!

I spent the afternoon cutting a hole in a historic building.  One of the locks in the depot was screwed into some pretty sketchy wood on the door frame and didn't really line up well, making it hard to operate.  I cut out the bad wood then fitted, glued & screwed a piece of new wood in place so I could get the lock pieces to line up properly.  Actually, the 'new' piece of wood was from one of the original pieces leftover from the restoration.  Futzed with it all afternoon.  Hopefully, the ladies who work there will reward me with a pie or chocolate chip cookies or something.....

Treated myself to a 'Big John' PWC cannon car recently.  It arrived a couple of days ago.  Have not tried it against any of my exploding boxcars yet.

The LHC got a used oddball in this week.  I have not been able to turn up any information on it.  Maybe some of you TCA members could help.  It is a 25th anniversary TCA G gage tinplate boxcab with three passenger cars.  I think it might have been made by Williams.  It looks like the catenary (sp?) is wired for taking power from an overhead line.

All for now.

It's kinda noisy tonight. But overall it was a very good holiday.

Starting new Coffee Pot.  Starting tonight with approval of Carl and Bob with CTT. 

These are the rules:  Approved by Carl and Bob and some were their suggestions too.  Will be posted at the beginning of each new Pot.

No layout photos in the Pot.  Start a new thread and post them there.  Takes up too much room in the Pot. *

A single family or joke photo is fine.

If CTT asks us to refrain from something, we stop and do not make a raucous about it.  It is their forum and they are paying for it. 

No sly "cuts" at members on the Pot.  Jokes are OK.

Friendly chat is welcomed.

*CTT welcomes layout photos and asked for this.  Post them on a separate thread.  If the thread is off of the page, use search to bring it back.  Then post more.  That way we can see your progress and/or changes.  

If you can not follow these rules, don't post here.  If you do and break them, you will be asked to not post on the Pot.  If you continue, it will be CTT's call on further action.

 

Now lets have fun and fellowship.

Roseyville had a fabulous fireworks display tonight.  I drove the Thomas the Tank Train from 4 PM until 8:55 PM.  No break.  Reason I stopped then, batteries went dead.  Got a nice "bait" of red hotdogs with chili, mustard and onions.  They were free for working.

God bless America land that I love.  We may or may not all agree on politics and the direction it is going but we must all agree it is the greatest place to live.

I'm going to rest and watch TV [which will probably result in reclinerizing].

Sleep tight.
