Hello there'
A late nite post from me on the way to bed. I wanted to add a prayer for our veterans. Especially those who participated in D-day. seems to be way more coverage from the media this year. Maybe because it's the 70th
Before I head t bed a prayer for Fife's Grandmaw.
SP Ray......what's the latest on your Mrs?
Corn is finally planted under marginal conditions

Good evening all,
Construction work is done in back bathroom!!! Some painting remains, but I do not have to stare at open woodwork anymore. Work was busy. Weather is good. Mowed yard. Sato starts 16th, but SFHR is gridded 2nd. Watched "Pirates of the Carribean" tonight with wife. The first one. Busy tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Konbanwa and Ohayo Chuck,
Nothing new here; it's still raining. I haven't read about any flooding which is amazing because I'm sure we have accumulated quite a few inches. We had no baseball tournament so we've been relaxing at home. The wife and I did take care of the grocery shopping but that was the extent of our chores. It was a good day for stew, so I made a Thai yellow curry beef stew that was delicious.
Laz - Congratulations to your BIL.
Sayonara,
Joe
Good Morning from Blueberryhill......
Good Morning , Joe..... We are getting quite a few rainy days too.
It is a sunny 64 degrees. Going up to 82 today with sunshine.
Today is a busy day. I have a bunch of chores to do and some paperwork to finish. Then, lunch and a nap.
Cheerios on the dining car for breakfast.
Y'all have a great Saturday.
Chuck
It's late morning here. We took a walk earlier and had a nice breakfast at home. Wife had a good day yesterday.
Drought continues. Started heavier watering today but we may get rationed before the summer is over. Lawn is suffering.
Train meet Sunday at TTOS. Will go if I can.
Need to do some figuring now for financial planner. Need to figure what we spend on household expenses including groceries. Hard to figure when some are credit card and some are cash. Have to wade through a lot of receipts I guess for cash purchases. Credit card is easy because we have a statement.
#1 son will celebrate his 50th birthday Sunday with us. It was actually on May 30th but he put off until now because of other needs.
later,
Ray

Izzs home. Mowed and that was it. Rested up. OH, did have to help work on dock as soon as I got there yesterday.
Hot and humid. Rain the other day is making garden grown. Grass here now.
Off to family night movie at middle school football field.
Don Baker at work.
Later
Bad day sports wise. Grandson's team lost 4-3, and Sato blew an engine 10 laps from the finish, turning a mediocre day into a lousy one. Now down to 18th in points. Attended nice birthday party for other 2 grandsons and did some retail therapy. I hope everyone has a good day.
Konnichiwa and Ohayo Chuck,
I wish I could send some of this rain to SP Ray. We went to Sunday school and church this morning, and have our usual relaxing Sunday afternoon ahead of us. I was able to catch the Belmont Stakes before we left for Sunday school. It was too bad California Chrome did not win, but winning the Triple Crown is a difficult task to do.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill.......
Good Morning , Joe......
It is a sunny 60 degrees. Going up to 78 today with sunshine.
Today is an easy day. I have a few chores to do and then I will spend some time running trains. I enjoy that very much.
Usual breakfast on the dining car.
Y'all have a great Sunday.
Morning. Over slept for Sunday School. Sunny and real warm. Chances of T'storms increase during the week. Got HS graduation tonight in Raleigh. Have to dress up and drive in.
Must be a bunch of the gang with sore fingers. Can't seem to post on the Pot.
Hope all have a great week.
Good Sunday Afternoon All!
Been crazy at work these days, for those who remember what work was! Otherwise, all is fine here.
Just read a weeks worth of the pot, a lot has happened.
Chief - Happy belated birthday.
Laz - That is some bike ride! Must be some kind or record with nothing breaking down? Wow!
Fife - Sorry to hear the news. Sounds like you've had many fond memories......
John - Sorry to hear about your friend.
Later...............

Quiet day. Did get to watch the F-1 race. Of course the Indy 500 will always be first in my heart, but there is nothing like the sound of F-1. They put on a heck of a show today with the Mercedes streak snapped and Ricciardo getting his first win. Took wife to see "Maleficent". First 2/3s were boring, but the last bit moved along pretty good. Elle Fanning is a good actress. I hope everyone will have a good day.

Friday went well after working around a couple of early morning DCS gremlins. Should've known better than to take only DCS engines. Saturday was my veg-out day to recover from the museum. Did a couple of small things this morning and spent the afternoon cooking up a pot of marinara sauce and some sweet sausage, dinner today and tomorrow night.
Chief, Fingers aren't sore but the shoulders sure are. Need to go back to school for grace. Took a tumble on the hill in the side yard followed a few days later by tripping and falling at the museum. In the yard I landed on my right shoulder and at the museum it was the left shoulder. Is that what one would call balance ? Tomorrow morning I need to crawl up the hill again and pull some weeds, hopefully that's all I pull.
Kev, Time has been flying, seems like just yesterday the munchkin was just a bundle being held in my arms but he'll be nine come Sept.
Fife, Don't forget you get your choice of music for the "Father-Daughter Dance", my choice was "Thank God For Kids" by the Oakridge Boys.
Later all ........

Downtown to High School graduation [not Rolesville but Rolesville kids]. One more year for that one then Rolesville High School will have its own senior class and graduation [new high schools start with 9th and 10th grades]. Super lucky. Right into a parking space [free] and a short walk to the building as they opened the doors. Down to VIP lounge. Marched on stage, smiled, sat through grads walking across stage and marched out. Out of parking space before traffic got bad and home to real tomato sandwiches.
A little TV and reclinerize.

Gracious, hitting the old bottle again. No, glad you did not get banged up bad.
Actually, I'm calling the Dr. tomorrow AM. Where the stiches came out are not looking good per Wifey. Keep cleaning and putting on ointment. Hurts worse than right after operation and can not sit back with pressure on incision.
Sleep tight.
Thankfully the rain let up for most of the day which allowed me to enjoy an eight-mile run this morning, but the humidity was brutal. The rain and thunderstorms started again this evening. We received an emergency alert about a mudslide in an area about no more than 10 miles from us. It is a mountainous area so I'm not too surprised. We had barbecue pork shoulder for dinner; the wife started slow cooking it this morning.
AF Ray - It's good to see you. The Yankees are killing me.
Hudson John - I read about his ranting. The rules have been that way for a long time, even when we had previous Triple Crown winners. It's supposed to be hard to win it.
Mornin' boys. Mornin' English. Humid and gray in the Mid-Atlantic region. Took uncle (we're close in age so more like an older brother to me) and his daughter out on the yatchet Saturday morning. They needed to recharge. It was a nice sail and lunch at my favorite lair. Yesterday, Wifey and I just kinda hung out, checking out houses on the web. Today, long day....
Thanks for all the well-wishes. She passed quietly, peacefully on Friday.
Hello there,
Good Monday morning.
A quick stop in to offer condolences to Fife on Grandmaws passing
Chief...sounds like it's infested. Get some pills.
Best get to the SS Fund.
Good Morning, Joe..........
It is a cloudy 60 degrees. Going up to 74 today with sunshine.
Today is a busy day. Wife is grocery shopping and I am doing chores and paperwork. Lunch and a nap, later.
Y'all have a great Monday.
Fife - deepest condolences.

Good day all, It's already after noon. Slept late. Had birthday dinner and cake for #1 son last night. Grandson showed off his pictures of recent trip to Johnson Space Center in Houston where he and 4 other students were invited for a space project they worked on. He got to sit in mock up of shuttle cockpit and took some photos in there. Also he and the other kids made a presentation to NASA people including three astronauts who have been on space station.
Chief, hope your incision clears up soon. Thank you for the prayers for wife and me.
Hi GUYZ,
Busy as the BEE LINE today. Used the sledge hammer and digging iron to bust up old pavilion pad. Not to bad no reinforcing rods so just a matter of time sweat and some good old muscle to get them lifted on the truck. Then unloaded them at farm pond for reinforcing the breast of pond. Now I got to order a truck load of mulch to do flower beds. Geez it seems like it just keeps on coming with more work?
FIFE sorry for your loss.
Stay frosty my friends,
