Chuck, have you told everyone about the millionaires being created on Blueberry Hill? Maybe one of them might buy the Indians. LOL

lion88roar I am still sore and exhausted from the moss removal, and I still have the front of the house to do. We get moss on the siding because the Sun doesn't hit the one side or front of the house for very long so it stays in the shade. This stuff is supposed to have an additive that will 'prevent' moss and mold build-up for 2 years... we'll see.

Hi guys and gals,
Hey Brent, We had the same issues on the north side of the house in P-Ville. Here is the way to do it.
Get some Round-Up or better and cheaper generic Glyphosate Isopropylamine salt 41% mix it at 2.5 OZ per Gallon and spray it on the moss. It will be gone in about 10 days or less. Works great. We did that before we sold the old house and it took off all of the moss on the walls and shingles.

Buckeye....A lady we know just received a check for 2 million from the Oil Companies. She owned a lot of land around the big construction site.
Another guy owned 500 acres of good hardwood trees. A big lumber company paid him $500,000. for the harvesting rites. Then, an oil company paid him 1.5 million for drilling rites. He did this from in front of his laptop.
Life is good.
Greetings greetings from LaCrosse, WI where youngest son and I are on a MC road trip. It's day three and we've hit seven states, awesome! He's the only one I will ride with (excluding PGR rides), we are having a great time :). Lots of train sightings along the Great River Road, what a fabulous setting.
The best part of this summer was when the Boss and I took a two week road trip, in June, visiting five National Parks in two weeks!! An amazing trip to say the least, it was in a car and that's OK---4073 glorious miles.
Sure glad to the old friendly pot up and chugging, my best to all :)

So many roads, so little time.
Good evening all,
Been on vacation this week. Went to Ravenswood Castle in the Hocking Hills area of Ohio last weekend. Nice place, but very isolated. Best part of trip was the trip on the tourist railroad line. Came home Monday after a day of antiquing. Rested Tuesday and went to 2 museums in Indy on Wednesday. Quiet 4th. Went to Conner Prairie Farm today, the LEGO store and Half Price Books. Very good day. Have to mow tomorrow and watch Pocono Indy car race on Sunday. Good week to be off. Good to see pot is back with lots of the familiar faces again. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Tonight we celebrated my folks' 50th anniversary, although the actual date was really back in February. Lots of good family time! Chief - cool sticker! Ray - prayers for healing!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Just a quick check in....
just returned from the greatest city in the world. Spent the day there, saw Spider Man Turn off the dark for a discount, had breakfast in Times Square, cocktails on the Metro Hotel Roof top overlooking Macy's and a scenic view of the Empire State Building, then to Grand Central Terminal for dinner at 9. Long day and I'm off to bed. the Princess and I are both beat.

Ray - for your sister.
Dennis - yes we have done some of the local sites. Lots of good restaurants here. The rain here has been obnoxious. 14 inches over normal. High today was 75. News says a big jet stream is dipping from Canada down to the Gulf and then dragging all the moisture north. We still had a good time on the river with all our friends despite the constant rain this past week.
Up late as I swallowed/inhaled an ibuprofen gel cap into my windpipe earlier this evening. Thought I was going to cough up a lung but I finally got it to come out but now I am sore and windpipe hurts. One of our friends here is an RN and said if the lingering cough persists I should go see a doc on Monday.
Regards, Roy
Konnichiwa,
So far nothing too exciting has happened today: I had a hair(s)cut and mowed the lawn. I’m either going to take the youngest for another bike ride or set up a temporary layout on the back patio. We’ll see which one he’d prefer after his nap. The wife and older two children have been enjoying the pool. They Yankees won again and have a nice winning streak going, but unfortunately so do the Sox.
Rich – I’m glad you and your Princess are having fun together.
Chuck – Same here; it seems some of our humidity has made your way as well.
Roy – Why am I picturing The Three Stooges scenes when Moe is trying to get Curly or Shemp to swallow a pill? I hope you feel better soon.
Sayonara,
Joe
Good Morning It's another hot and humid day here...right now it is sunny but later on today...back to those ol' t'underinboomers and mucho rain forecast here...Got some of the junk actually out'n the Lair and into that bin...they pick up later this morning..then it'll be more junk to bail out of there...
Chief: It generally is a bit of a pain here but we have not seen the flash flooding yet..our backyard lake is a 'shared' lake between 8 properties here. Because of the lay of the crescent we are, more or less, at the bottom side of it...hence the drainage channels that we placed out towards our end here...I am beginning to think that we could throw in a G scale, or O scale, outdoor layout here....Have a good one!!

Good Morning! Going into the 90's and Sunny, with a nice breeze coming off the Bay.
Today should be a nice easy day unless my daughter decides to paint the kitchen in her new house. She has 3 walls that extend up 3 floors and my SIL is not crazy about climbing so guess who gets that job!
SPMan, Ray: Prayers for your Sister and your Wife.
Chuck: Sounds more like the Beverly Hillbillies than Blueberry Hill.
Jon: Enjoy the trip.
Mike C: Sounds like a great trip you had.
Rich: Glad you and the Princess had a great time.
Brutus, Jim: Happy Belated Anniversary to your Folks. Glad your Mom is doing good.
Roy: Hope you feel better.
Joe: The 3 Stooges do come to mind!
John: Enjoy Ocean City!
Have a Great Day!

The temp is a stuffy 76, going into the 80s today.
The great feel of summer, folks are out traveling and enjoying things.

Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Hazy, hot and humid here in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Nice to see some returning members.
Too busy to post. Doing Fifey type of things.
Stay foamy.
Good Morning!
This is probably a good time to post this, as the Chief is either doing last minute Mayor things, or on the way to, or up at the Lake.
Unfortunately there has been a slight change of plans regarding the itinerary during his visit. (As I was able to get some time off work, I was informed that all the things that I havn't been doing around the house needed to be done. And especially since there would be an extra pair of hands to help.) So don't let on, but the revised scheduled looks something like this;
Wed 7/10, Planned: Arrival at LAX, I would meet him at airport. Then we would go down to the train club in San Pedro, and on the way home drive through the LA/LB Harbor Area, and stop and get something to eat.
Revised: Leave airport, go by Walmart and pick up a mosquito net, and some cat repellant for the back yard. Then to the local "International Food Market Warehouse" and see about their weekly bulk sale items that are on sale. (Stuff that came in on the containers, that was not sold.)
Thur 7/11, Planned: Trip to Hollywood sight seeing, (go by the Delores Yard, The Trench, on the way). Go over to Peterson Automotive Museum, (their having a pickup special going on). Then in the evening, go by Rays place and possibly have dinner.
Revised: As the front court yard has been a real pain to get grass to grow, need to renovate the area. Remove all existing weeds, rocks, old sprinkler system and completly breakup the sunbaked hardened ground. Then sift through the dirt removing roots and animal droppings. If time permits remove dead plants and roots from neighbors tree. (Sorry Ray, just gotta get this done while the weather permits.)
Fri 7/12, Planned: Trip to San Diego, obviously dependent upon Doug's availability. Would drive along the coast and it would be an enjoyable drive. San Diego Union Station if pretty and worth the time, or even Old Towne San Diego. Or visit the USS Midway.
Revised: Continue Court Yard effort, get ground somewhat level and mix in the soil enrichment and stabilizing materials. Level area and install new sprinkler system. Relayout flower beds, and plant accordingly. Sorry Doug, if your available we could probably use your help.
Sat 7/13, Planned: Go to Pomona, and visit the www.railgiants.org museum. Then on out to Orange Empire Museum in Perris.
Revised: Plant grass seed, remove old paint from sidewalk, reinstall accent lighting. Have fish fry with puchases made on way home from airport. View museums websites for photos of equipment they have.
Sun 7/14, Planned: Do some railfanning at Fullerton Train Depot, then on to a local hobby shop and beach tour.
Revised: As the court yard project is completed, go ahead and re-do the “Dog Bone” in the back yard, due to the unexpected landscape issues.
Mon 7/15, Planned: Planned trip to Knott’s for cab ride, various tours of park, (relaxing day).
Revised: Take care of the facia boards on the house that need repainting. Will only need to replace one on the second story. Should be able to sand and patch on Monday, and the one replacement.
Tue 7/16, Planned: Down day for layout running and visit to other sights on Chief’s “To Do” list.
Revised: Finish the facia board project, patch any stucco issues that are open. Also, as the Chief will be leaving on the 17th, need to make sure the cars are all clean. (4).
Wed 7/17, Planned: Take the Chief to LAX for his 11am flight
Revised: As I am all worn out from his visit, it will work fine if I call SuperShuttle to pick him up and take him to the airport. (Pickup time 4:15am). I’m sure he wont mind.
Don
The dog days of summer are here. Hot, Sunny and Humid. Off to the store with the wife. She is at war with the chipmunks. So we have to get poison peanuts. No 9mm or 22LR shells to be had around here. 223, no problem.Carry law must be passed by the 9th or you will be able to carry in IL on just your FOID card. We shall see.
gas is $3.47
Good morning all,
Thanks for the prayers for my sis in Virginia. No more news about her today.
Spanky, glad Tyler is doing so much better.
Don, quite an itenerary. Will pray for a cool evening if you come at night. Incidentally, is your reference to cat repellant about a real product? I have been getting deposits from some cats lately since my new wall went up. It has become a sancturary for cats because there are no dogs are here. Re Dolores yard in Carson, I used to work there sometimes when I was with the SP/UP. Probably wouldn't recognize the place now. I understand there have been a lot of changes down there since I retired in 2000.
later,
Ray

After consulting with my cardiologist, as the Star-Kist Tuna commercial said "Sorry Charlie".
Busy day yesterday with only two of us there, a few minor DCS "anomolies" but things went well. Now I need to start getting things ready for Thursday night run, 5pm-10pm, as well as the Friday run.
Don, What time do you guys anticipate being at the museum? Need to know what time to have lunch ready, sometimes it takes awhile to find some properly seasoned roadkill closeby.

Back from the lake house. Mowed when I got there the other day. Guess what I did just before I left????? You guessed it.
V8Vega ChiefEaglesA single family or joke photo is fine. For the 1st couple of years I was on the forum I read the Coffee Pot a few minutes and decided its a waste of time. then I read it again and liked it and I do like to post so started reading it everyday. Sometimes it feels like your talking to the wall and you think why post but everyone who reads the Pot reads it, they just don't have any reason to respond or anything to say. Sat.90 Sun.88 Mon. 94

Dennis, that means per post. I agree with not posting replies to all. Hard for me to remember all those who have posted when I read the POT. Doesn't mean not friendly. Sometimes I have to "skim" over it due to time.
It is good to see so many back and posting.
Spanky, WOW!!!! Prayers. Some good and some bad.
Now as for the raid into CaleforniA, the REB army is ready. I do wonder if I need to take special protection and crash helmet as I will be riding with Don.
Well, unpacking from lake to do and packing for LA to start.
Later.

Jack a month ago you would have been 7 pages behind. Pot runs slow these days.

It is rainy in SE Indiana. Rain washed out the mowing. Worked on other stuff. Did some more attic work. Long term project. Have 35 years of stuff to go thru. Have made at least one pass on all the boxes on the shelves, which is progress. Forgot to mention I played soccer Tuesday night. Talked to both daughters today. Have only heard from Lucas once since sentencing hearing. Watched Indy car qualifying today. Sato starts 8th. I hope everyone has a good day.
Seemed pretty hot in Saint Louis today. I mowed the lawn and then took my son out for a burger, comic books, and a movie. Spanky - so glad to hear about Tyler! Prayers guys.
Mornin' boys. Steamy and 77 already in the Mid-Atlantic region. My folks are coming over for steaks on the grill today.
Alexis is doing great...but the pre-teen sassies are a-kickin' in!
Fifepup was just hired by Office Depot, and is going for an additional job at Pizza Hut. He has MOPAR-itis. (wants a new Dart)
DJSPanky - Superb news on the boy. Thank you for starting my morning off the right way.
V8Vega - I read your posts.

Fifedog Good news there at he homefront!!
DJSpanky: Great news as well!!
Fife: I'm looking around up here for grits..I don't see any...mmmmm
Konbanwa,
Today was our youngest child’s third birthday. He received some fun toys (none train-related this year) and had a great day. After church, he enjoyed McDonald’s for lunch and then had his daily nap. During his nap, I watched part of the UFC fights I recorded while we were at church; I still have about two hours left to watch so I don’t know who won the main event yet. I’m trying to avoid the internet and sports shows to make sure I don’t accidentally find out.
Following the nap, he and I spent some time outside on the back porch building a temporary layout. It was extremely hot and humid so we worked up quite a sweat, but it was tremendous fun. We stopped for a few moments to enjoy some freshly homemade maple ice cream. As darkness settled in, we deconstructed the layout and headed indoors to escape the mosquitos and enjoy dinner and chocolate cake – with more maple ice cream on the side.
I need to call my older brother as today is his birthday as well.
DJ Spanky – That is great news about Tyler.
Fife – I’m glad Alexis is doing well. Our Princess has some tween attitude as well. I’m sorry the Yankees are roughing up your Orioles, well not too sorry.
The temp is a stuffy 73. 80s today.
We spent some time yesterday afternoon at sons house. We got to visit with 2 of the kids and some of DILs family. Got home just in time to sit on the porch and watch a shower take care of the garden for me. No train news yesterday except I showed some videos from our club website..
Joe I'm sure your son had a Happy Birthday
