Konbanwa and Ohayo Chuck,
It was dry when I woke up this morning and started my short three-mile run, but the rain started as I was finishing the run. It rained off and on for most of the day, but has been raining steadily since 1500. I finished quite a bit of paperwork at the office, but more awaits tomorrow. We have no plans for the evening, but one of these nights I'll need to start putting the displayed trains into their boxes. The packers/movers will be here next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Chuck - The Italian sausages go great with grapes.
Sayonara,
Joe
Good evening all,
Busy day at work. Quiet night at home. Rain is keeping things cool. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Morning all. Sunny and HOT and HUMID. Sky has to "crack" this afternoon. Cracked last night around 9. Good rain. Gardens are looking good. Rain at the farm per farmer and crops looking good too.
Did some chores. Too humid. Sweat in the shade. First big heat and humidity of the season. Will get use to it soon. Grass to mow.
Later.

Aloha. Greyer and cooler today, Supposed to rain. But I get an excuse to ride the L to a meeting at another campus. I'll take my excitement where I can get it.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill.........
Good Morning , Joe....... Sausage and grapes sounds interesting.
It is a cloudy 62 degrees. Going up to a sunny 80 today.
Today is an easy day. I have a few chores to do and then I will relax and do some reading. Not much else new.
Cheerios for breakfast on the dining car.
Y'all have a great Tuesday.

Today was a mostly dry day which was nice. The rain is supposed to start again tonight. The workday was uneventful but not as productive as I hoped. I was able to join SJ and Brutus for a quick Tardis ride during my lunch break. I made sausage with grapes for dinner tonight. I ended the meal with some homemade ice cream the wife made.
Fife - I'm sorry for your loss.
Fife, sorry to hear of your loss. Condolences from my family to yours. Weather was nice here today. Work was quiet. Picked up daughter's friend and her family at airport this evening without much incident. Had a nice conversation on the way home. Work will be busy tomorrow, maybe. Wife still not 100%, and I am not sure I am either. I hope everyone has a good day.
SIL gave me for my B'day. Hung at the Train Box door.
Wife bought me this for side of Train Box.
Still waiting for gift Buckeye sent 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,

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.
later,
Ray

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.
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.
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.
dougdagrump 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.

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.

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.
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 ........

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.
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...............

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 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.
Y'all have a great Sunday.
