Thanks gang.
Sat most of afternoon in shade of pecan tree with a slight breeze. Finn [golden doodle], was beside me [Wiley and Lucy were too hot so went inside]. We watched the soaker hoses soak the garden. Ran to WalMart this afternoon. What a t'storm hit there. Got to Rville and sprinkle. It rained out over Wake Forest. Now it shows it made back up over farms down east. I am sure they are happy. Think some more rain later tonight. [fingers crossed and praying]
Off to meet the whole gang at Mexican at 6 + -. Pam came up with that one. Had one of my favorites last night. Chicken slick [pastry].
Fife, way to say it. Prayers.
Thanks again guys.

Chief -
fifedog Evenin' boys. Sunny & 65 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Busy weekend, but first and foremost was FifeGranny being hospitalized for Pancreitus. Then took oldest princess and her little family out on the yatchet yesterday. She was at the helm for over 2 hours, and never got crossed up by the wind once. Pretty good for a first timer. Grandson had a melt-down at the snowball stand;sheesh. SirJames - is June a Grits-free month...? 88 - Ouch. Ouch. And ouch.

Hi GUYZ,
Been real busy here the last 4 dayz. Saturday dismantled and rebuilt neighbors shed with T11 and new plywood for roof and new shingles. Sunday built new doors for him and hung them. Monday ripped down my shed to start on new 20 x 25 foot pavilion. Monday my BIL from ESCONDIDO came in. He rode his bicycle from Escondido to Millersburg in 40 days. Pretty cool. He is going to finish at his hometown of Scranton, Pa. on Thursday. That's a lot of pedal pushin there. Not to mention a sore rear end. He is in fine shape and only lost 9 lbs, Not to bad for a guy that is 68 years old. But he's looking forward to the end of his journey. We fed him good the past two days and he left this morning as is headed up to my MOMs to stay the night. WOW, is all I have to say.
HUDSONJOHN, for your friend may he RIP.
Had the CHUCK SPECIAL for breakfast.
JOEY D, so your gonna be an O HI OIAN? Guess you'll be shooting the SNO CANNON with CHUCK and BUCKEYE?

Good Morning from Blueberryhill........
Good Morning, Joe.... Your move to Ohio sounds interesting. It must require a lot of planning.
It is a foggy 68 degrees. Going up to 74 today with storms later.
Today is a busy day. I have chores and a lot of paperwork to do. I will be busy until lunch. Then a well deserved nap.
Cheerios for breakfast on the dining car.
Y'all have a great Wednesday.
Chuck
Konbanwa and Ohayo Chuck,
I had another easy three-mile run this morning before heading in to work. The workday was busy which made it fly by. Today, I was able to schedule the dates for the movers to come pack up our household items. It will take the movers two days (17-18 Jun) to pack and then two months to arrive in Ohio. Now we need to start cleaning out the house for items we can donate, sell, or toss.
Happy Birthday Chief!
Doug M. - My son is thrilled that he will not have to cut the grass for at least two years. I'm glad your son is getting interested in baseball again.
Sayonara,
Joe
Well seeing its now the 4th of June
Chief

Late post for me!
Busy day! First I helped Doray service a soft serve machine. Then I took Mom to heve her Mediport removed. Cancer treatments are over and all looks well!
Prayer Request: One of my best friends, Vince has passed on. He has had medical issues for a while. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. Thank you
SPMan: I would go for seperate checks also. He does sound very embarassing. Prayers for you and your wife.
Fife: Prayers for your wife.
Joe: Sounds like a Fun Game.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIEF!!!
John
Thanks gang. EST, its official. June 4. Not like Buckeye who has one birthday every month.
Sleep tight.
Good evening all,
Warm and humid but dry today. Got to finish my trimming that I did not get done on Sunday. Today was rough at work. Coworkers were back and talking, labs were late and missing. Tired of BS answers we are getting. Another boring meeting tomorrow, not as long as Friday. Found a $2.96 DVD at Wally World on railroading. Supposed to be 12+ hours of video. For 3 bucks, I cannot go too wrong. Happy Early Birthday to Chief!! Many happy returns. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Tomorrow is a busy day so I'll wish the Chief a happy birthday today in case I forget. Have a good one.
We had a trying night last night with my wife suffering from memory problems. I think I'm going to have to get on a hot line or something to talk to people in the know about this. She has another test on June 10th but I'm concerned about things popping up that I don't know how to deal with. She seems back to normal this morning so thank the Lord for small favors. We have an appointment tomorrow with our financial advisor. Taking one of my sons with us. Hope that goes well.
Saw an ad from Charles Ro about placing orders for new stuff in the MTH 2014 catalog vol. 2 but I don't see the Norfolk Southern AS 616 yet. That's the one I want to order. I'll give them a call. Want to make sure I get one. They aren't due out until December though.
later,
Ray
SPMan
Doug no happy birthday from me till tomorrow, he gets enough free stuff. So I'm not giving him an extra day.
S.J.
Morning all. Sunny and going to get hot. Got to go by Town Hall as Intern is there. Hope to get some things done here in garden. Wash clothes for Wifey and etc. Got to babysit 7 year old Niece and her 1 year old Brother this afternoon around 4 till 8:30. Hope all are doing OK.
Thanks Doug.
Later.
Aloha Sunny but cooler here by the lake. SJ, I sure love the smell of an open can of coffee. Thanks for starting this Pot. Ray, I too hate being with someone who argues about paying a bill like that - especially with staff that are underpaid to begin with. It makes me leave them a bigger tip... Prayers for the FifeGranny's swift recovery. I guess I may as well start celebrating the Chief's birthday a day early since he is so popular. Joe, the youngest would like a lawn service... He's getting interested in baseball again too. He was so small, he didn't like playing when he was younger.
Last night's kids versus scrimmage at baseball practice was tons of fun. It was a close game but the kids pulled out the win during their last at bats. The moms enjoyed cheering for the kids while heckling us dads which made it even more fun. Today was an easy day at the office and I was finished work a few minutes early. I grilled some tasty burgers for dinner and then we relaxed. I'm a little late with my post as it's about bedtime here.
Hudson John - I think they were trying to kill us. I was a bit sore this morning.
Doug M. - My older son is 10 (nearly 11 but small for his age too) and he struggled with the mower as well. However, he stuck it out and is willing to do it again. Fortunately for him, we will not have to mow at our next house in Ohio as grounds keeping is part of the rental agreement.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill.........
Good Morning, Joe.......
It is a cloudy 62 degrees. Going up to 85 today with a chance of rain.
Today is a busy day. I have an errand to run and the usual chores. I want to be finished by lunch. Then, a nap.
Usual breakfast on the dining car.
Y'all have a great Tuesday.
Good night all. Mike, glad to hear things are getting back to normal.
Long Mayor day and night. Sleep tight.
cheapclassics Good evening all, Wife starting to recover as she is yelling at me again. Keep on training, Mike C. from Indiana
Wife starting to recover as she is yelling at me again.
LOL Mike that's about the size of it thou glad she's on the mend.
A very good day. 2 talkative coworkers did not show so I got a lot done. More rain in Indiana. Wife starting to recover as she is yelling at me again. I hope everyone has a good day.
fife there's no R in June so that makes it a grits free month.
Good morning all,
June is here but we have no typical June gloom (marine layer) yet which is common this time of year. Instead we continue to get more warm weather.
Chief, glad the garden party was a success. I'm tired just listening about your chores.
Went out to eat with our widowed friend who just returned from a graduation in Georgia. The guy drives me nuts sometimes when we eat out. He likes to use coupons all the time but he needs to get someone to partner up with for those buy one and get one for half off deals. It gets too complicated when you try to work out something with just three. What gets my goat is how he argues with the cashier all the time about the bill. It's just a game with him. He is not poor. It's embarassing me too when the line is backing up behind us. I think I will just insist on separate checks in the future. I don't need this.
I never opened a new can of coffee but since it had not been done I just went ahead and dude it.
And what better time than the beautiful month of June. Enjoy and soak up the sun.
Aloha. Sunny and hot today in Chicago. I love it. I took the youngest to our local beach at a former quarry. It is better water than the real Crystal Lake. He really enjoyed the day, and it gave the bride some peace. Joe, the youngest is almost 12 but a 'young' 12. He persevered but the mower is probably a bit heavy and big for him now. I'm sure he'll get used to it. Brent, hope your back and neck are better.
Brent,
You slid in there on me. Glad you are feeling better from the shingles. Sorry to hear about the accident. As with renters, some can be a nightmare. We have 2 houses that we are renting out, not by my choice. The tenants that we have now are good but we have had some doozies in the past. Good Luck!
