Good evening all,
Watched both World Cup games on ABC today. Probably same games Chief saw. Swiss won a barn-burner literally in the last seconds 2-1. Wow! Got phone calls from all 3 kids. Wife went to Pizza King for lunch and made some delicious brownies for dessert. Life does not get much better. Good to hear news about Kay. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Happy Father's Day All !
Don, Good news on Kay, prayers continue.
Had planned on going to a train meet yesterday morning but still didn't feel quite up to it yet. Per the doc this suff should be all gone in a few more days .
Hope all enjoyed the day, since both of us aren't over the crud totally we'll be doing Father's Day next weekend with daughter & munchkin.

Good Morning !
Things couldn't be better here ! Sure have a lot to be thankful for !!!
I was kinda of thinking, most of us have received from each other prayers and well wishes for various situations, may they be mostly medically related, or a loss of a family member, or other difficult situation. So, its hard for me to pass on the opportunity a situation that is quite positive, concerning one of our buddies. Found the article below in a newspaper and thought it was worth sharing. (Hope I have reproduced it correctly so it can be viewed.)

Aloha. What a cute pup. Sounds like a fine Fathers Day was had by all. Glad Kaye is home. Happy Birthday-Eve to Sir James! I was fortunate to be able to visit the Illinois Railway Museum on Sat. I wonder if you can see 1630 pulling her train: IMG陕zpsf83ce28a.mp4.html

Bad year for San Diego baseball fans. Before the season started Jerry Coleman, former Yankee & Marine Corp fighter pilot in WW2 and Korea, passed away now followed by a true gentleman of the game Tony Gwynn as he passed away this morning.
Afternoon FellasBeen a bit off the past week. Don great news on Kay! Prayers for continued recovery.Last week was really tough. Monday I had the kids to the doctor and was told nothing was wrong with either. Then Tuesday night TheQ had a sever allergic reaction to an antibiotic and ended up with Steven Johnsons Reaction, nearly lost her. She has spent the week since recovering and dealing with her illness. Yesterday we took Christina to an Urgent Care facility and was told he has a sever sinus infection (same symptoms as last Monday) and that her tonsils are rather large and the Dr recommended we take her to a Pediatric ENT. Really upset with her regular pediatrician right now.Had a nice Fathers Day with the family yesterday. I received two bottles of my favorite rum (English Harbor from Antigua), I have been looking for this since our honeymoon and finally found a 'local' store that carries it.Really need to get back into the train room, but with my rental property requiring about $3,000 in repairs I don't know when I'll find the time. sigh

Good morning all,
Don, glad Kay is home. Good news!
Spent father's day at birthday party for 94 year old friend. My kids gave me some gifts and cards too. I had two lunches yesterday. One at a reception after church for one of our priest being transferred to another parish, the second one was at the birthday party. Pretty well stuffed myself but good food both places.
later,

Joe D. I accidentally came across a TV show called train cruise its on a channel listed as NHK I got to see a trip on trains in Japan it was so cool but couldn't find any more listings of it so wonder if it was a short run series here on AT&T tv it was on channel 1221 and I see there's another channel also 1239 so need to go check it out. It was a English speaking Japanese channel I believe it is broadcast live.

USA! USA! USA! What a game! If nothing else, US already exceeded my expectations. Was able to watch the game on ESPN3.com. Nice surprise. My heart went to my throat when Ghana got the equalizer, but the winning goal was beautiful!!! With Portugal facing some problems, the US may have a chance to advance. Doctor's appointment went well. Will have to schedule minor procedure at some point in time, but no big urgency. Wife is relieved it is nothing serious. Did get tree trimming done today and oil change for truck. Started putting stuff away into back bathroom. I hope everyone has a good day.
Aloha. Sorry for the spate of medical issues, Brent. So stressful. That rum sounds tasty. Happy birthday to SJ!
Happy Birthday
SJ
Happy Birthday SJ Looks like the snow melted in time for the big celebration!
Afternoon all. Another morning of allergic reactions. Went to DR. for physical. Can't figure out why incision is not healing right. Everything else, except reactions, are OK. Farmers market meeting at 4. HOT HUMID.
Happy Birthday SJ. [didn't think folks that old had birthdays??? ]
Prayers for Kaye [has Shake and Bake for nurse].
Later
SJ, happy birtyday!
Sad news recently that our former Western Division TCA president and former TCA National President lost his young wife after an illness. She was a beautiful girl. They have a little boy probably around six. Tough on him I'm sure. Funeral on Saturday.
Going to my first meeting today for care givers. Hope to learn something useful.
Got E mail from financial advisor this AM. Wants to call me today. Sent him a lengthy update on my wife's situation and got a three word reply. He is more animated in person. Guess he thinks E mail is like Western Union where you pay for each word.
We have been walking every day now for about a week. It has been good for us.
( need two cakes for all the candles ) S.J. Hope it was a good one
Evening all!
Don - great news on Kay! Our prayers continue!
SJ - Happy Birthday!!!!
Modified a Hoqwarts loco with an Electric RR MiniCommander 2 and the Railsounds Small Steam board for a friend. Took some time but came out great. Ken at ERR is fantastic on responding to e-mail questions.
Have a nice evening all!
Regards, Roy
Hey Roy long time no see guess you been real busy. Ken at ERR is great on the phone also. He help talk me thru a engine that was driving me nuts. The ones wired by Lionel for ac/dc operations is a little different to wire up as theres a set of wires from the motor wound you need to unhook from the brushes and just leave them hanging.
I still have a light buzz so need to look it over a little more. That will be down the road a bit.
I hope all are doing well
Great news on Kay there Don Glad to hear it.
Quiet but busy day at work. Spent most of the evening reading, an activity I rarely have time for anymore. I hope everyone has a good day.
PS, Is it Sunday yet?
Hi GUYZ,
Humid and HOT here in Millersburg. Did a nice easy 2 mile run with my MINNIE dog. The last 2 days got back on the bike and rode 26 miles not bad, but my rear is a little sore. Went to CABELAs yesterday with WIFE. Got new hiking shoes and water sandals. Today awaiting my stone for pavilion, 30 ton, OUCH my back! It may or may not come? We'' ll see.

Afternoon all. HOT AND HUMID!!!! 100+ heat indices. Had ride over with DOT on Rolesville By-pass due for completion in late Sept. Staying in this afternoon. Watch some DVR'd hunting and train shows.
Stupid to resign over a bag of dog poop but stupid to do that too. Hope he was not like a lot of the CA Mayors and Councilpersons. 6 figure salaries.
Have a good one.

Good afternoon all,
Just laying low today trying to clean up odds and ends with paper work. Called lawyer about getting a living trust and got paper work to fill out.
Stayed by phone all day waiting for a conference call that never came between my financial advisior and long term Insurance company. Think we will have to send out the sheriff to get a hold of these birds. I have tried for two days before this myself. They don't answer messages or return calls. However they are right on time when it comes time to send out bills for premiums.
Called old friend today suffering from cirrosis and other things. Not doing too good. He was never a drinker so go figure. We hope to get together soon with a mutual friend. Not many of us left from the original Thursday night group. Only about three of us left. We had at least 20 at one time.
Ate out last night and had a lousy dinner. Ordered stuffed bell peppers. It was not stuffed and baked in an oven. I think they threw it all together in a frying pan and used boiled peppers. Yuk!
Will cook at home tonight in self defense.
Wife and I are both doing good on walking every day. Makes you feel stronger.
Played well in a 1-0 loss tonight. Had 9 good touches on the ball, which is very good for me. Made the mistake of thinking I could be a soccer player and tried dribbling the ball up the field. Not a smart move. Work was ok today. I hope everyone has a good day.
