Good evening all,
Very quiet day at work. Only one other person in our section was there (of course, it had to be the most annoying one, but still mostly quiet). Got some work done as well. Rained again very hard for a bit at home. Still muggy. Supposed to clear up and be nice from Wednesday on. Got pre-registerred for the procedure so all I have to do now is show up. Tomorrow will be busy at work. Hang in there, Don B. You and Kay have been thru the mill. Fifedog, I have heard of that store. Fortunately the girls did not shop there while growing up. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Evenin' All!
Too busy for my own good, something has to give. Did some early Christmas shopping for Patrick and picked up a G scale Thomas train set. Never been used. VERY tempted to run it for awhile.
Roy - Looks like you can't get a break with the weather. I don't think I could get use to your temps. While visiting family in Florida (springtime) it was still too hot for me.
Don - Good news on Kay! Don't let Fife or RT get you down, Fife might be a bit jealous, He thinks he would look cool on his yachtette on a peg leg!
Later............

"Good morning Vietnam!!!" Sad.
Partly cloudy and humid. Suppose to turn dry, cooler and sunny.
Errands today. Mow if it dried out.
Hope all have a great day.
wrmcclellan me. The NASCAR race barring the delays was one of the best in years. AJ and Ambrose banging into each other around that road course was amazing. Too bad about that Stewart dirt track incident.

Good morning,
It was a good race Roy,
Boy the media is really going after Tony Stewart on that racing accident. I have a feeling it will kill his racing career like when Ricky Rudd hit and killed that pit crew member. He did not last long after that. Shame that kid should of not got out of that car and then ran onto the dark area of that track.
To bad about Robbin Williams too.

Bonjour mon amis. Back from 2 weeks in France for work. I got to do train stuff - including riding the TGV and every Paris Metro line just for fun. Also got to search for trains in flea markets and even found a gigantic train store in Chatillon but it was closed for lunch! Kinda glad to be back...

Kevin hope its a good one
Morning all not a lot going on today still trying to get moving enough to make something to eat been up about an hour.
Guess will staple my green carpet to the second level to give me some grass up there then I can lay my oval of track and wire it up. then start working on the hills coming down from the second level to the main level. have it planned out in my head about 75% its the last 25% I'm still working on and it will come together once I get the first 75% done lol.
Well guess that's about it for this morning ( most afternoon lol )
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

Good morning all,
Still trying to make sense of the Robin Williams tragedy. There is no logical expanation. Depression can overcome anyone I suppose. He had all the advantages growing up and a very successful career. But it only shows that success and money are no gaurantee. RIP Mork.
Had a good breakfast with hardly any carbs but ate everything else. Got to watch the calories too.
Short walk this morning as wife was having neck pains (not me) so we cut it short. She has recurring pain from a cervical disc in the neck. Been to doctors but no cure. Just takes Tylenol and wears a neck collar some.
Have a good day all,
SPMan
Pouring rain. Was beating down one time. What we need. More rain. Better than drought though. Early to rise tomorrow AM. Off to get gate and fence for back of Parker's pond easement. Fred is paying.
Later
RedfireS197 - thanks for the tip. Looks like everything is back to normal.
Let's try a paragraph break, just to make sure it works. Mowed the lawn for the first time in a month. That will probably be good for the next couple of weeks. It is cooler than normal here. Highs this week are around 80. It is usually in the high 90's and low 100's during State Fair week.
All for now.
Another sad day. Robin Williams and now Lauren Bacall. On a brighter note, got to give Victory drinks to soccer kids. They always seem to appreciate them. Got one set of grandkid's games schedule. Too many games, too little me. My favorite time of the year next to May. I pulled a fast one on the pain at work. When I left tonight, I said I would see everybody on Monday. All she could do is say, "What, what???" It was priceless. Outside the world's problems, it was a good day. I hope everyone has a good day.
Mornin' boys. Partly sunny & 70 here in the mid-Atlantic region. Back to work tonight. It was an ok vacation until fifepup crashed his car early yesterday. His fault. Everyone ok. Wouldn't heed Dad's advice, so all on him.
cnw1995 - Welcome home. Perhaps some trip-pics on SPF?
Aloha. Still sleepwalking a bit. Survived class last night by giving out a lot of assignments. My mind and body thought it was 2 am. Glad Fifepup is unhurt. Those situations sure are frustrating. Testing to see if image link works: . oqKBQb
Afternoon all. Back easement is now fenced [instead of cable like before] and gated. Pond is all locked up as far as vehicles go.
Fifey, sorry man.
Off to the lake house and meet prospective buyer. Mow and mow there.
Later.
Took short walk by myself this morning as wife still having neck pain. Might try accupuncture next.
Chief, did I read correctly that you were selling the lake house? Sometimes you don't get enough use out of things like that to justify the cost. Anyway, hope it works out for your satisfaction.
Got a call from my brother in Virginia before my walk to get update on us. We talked or about an hour. Thats called a few minutes in the South. He has diabetes too. Had his for many years. New to me though.
later,
fife glad the pup is ok,
lesson to be learned I guess.

Hello all
Back up at work for summer maintenance. We have been in the clouds w/ rain the last couple of days.
Been working w/ the trolley group on my days off. Good bunch of guys there. Will post some pics when I remember to take the camera
Had some fun coming home from the last Corvair get together. Two of the rocker arm nuts backed off and was running on 4 for a bit. One replacement rocker arm, two pushrods, and two locknuts later we were back on the road.
Very sad to hear about Robin Williams. I know he struggled w/ depression and addiction for some time.
Fife - glad the son was unhurt. Maybe you should get him in on HudsonJohn's body shop class:)
Don - bummer on the additional surgery, hang in there buddy!

Fife Glad the pup is okay. Guess pride more than anything else. Not much going on today went shopping and took wife out for late lunch ( 2 P.M.) so all was good.
Enjoyed our selves so now time to relax
Talk to you all later have a good day
Today was a very bad day. My medical procedure was cancelled because my blood sugar and blood pressure were too high. Stupid staff at doctor's office neglected to let him know what the blood sugar was from tests ran 2 weeks ago. That was one red flag that could have prevented me from wasting a day and $2K+ in hospital billing today. Then after they told me how high the blood sugar was, they took my blood pressure. Of course it was higher than a cat's back!!! Then they had the unmitigated gall to state that if I saw a family practice doc that all the numbers could be down in a week or two so they could do the procedure. Never BS a BSer!!! My wife has been treating her blood sugar for years (and it is better) and she is not close enough yet to meet their standards. How stupid do they think I am????
I am writing this note to say goodbye. I am not sure if my wife would know how to post on here, so I am not going to pretend all is fine. It has been a pleasure to have chatted with all of you over the years, but I need to spend whatever time I have left making arrangements and settling things. Good night and may the Good Lord look after all of you.
Mike, That is a tough post to follow. Prayers are with you.
What I originally wanted to post seemed rather inconsequential following Mike.

Evening all.
Cooler here - it is a good thing - but like CA we need rain.
Mike C - good luck with whatever you are dealing with
KEV I fear for Tony Stewarts career also. He went from being a bad boy to a really good guy. Unfortunately the media is dredging up the past.
V8 - glad to hear you finally got a good outcome.
Fife - I hear our kids will not realize we have good advice until their late 30's. Glad he is ok.
Chief selling the lake house????
Regards, Roy

Wow Mike. Please try and keep in touch prayers going up for you. Remember the lord will look after you and has plans for you and I'm hoping this isn't in his plans at this time. May the lord help guide you and your family

Mike - RT told me about your post and I couldn't believe it man - so sorry to hear about your problems. Prayers for healing and for you and your family. Don't give up man, go see your doctor and keep trying - I know this is overwhelming, but just putting one foot in front of the other is all any of us can ever do. Many prayers for you my friend.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Hello there
Been a lurker lately but Mike C got my attention. What's going on with him? Special prayers.
Been crazy busy lately

Good Morning from Blueberryhill.........
It is a sunny and cool 64 degrees. Going up to 80 today with sunshine.
Today is an easy day. I have a few chores to do and then I will relax. Maybe do some reading. Lunch and a nap, later.
Y'all have a great Thursday.
Chuck
Mike - you are in my thoughts and prayers
Mike Prayers sent for you and the family. I don't no what else to say.
Fife I have to agree with Roy. Seems your good advice is no good till it is too late. KIDS!
Bright sun, cool temps.
I have a good friend from out east there coming into town for a visit on Saturday, Should be fun.
Mornin' boys. Mostly cloudy & 70 here in the mid-Atlantic region. Grandson is here making things better. He's "discovering" the old wooden "G" sized train we've had. It's Mennonite built, and really has him occupied. Had to pick up my SIG2340 the agency "let" me buy before retirement, this morning. 37 weeks...
Chief - Don't sell our your lake house. I was planning on vacationing there next year. Got to go cheap for awhile.
cheapclassics - No need to walk alone, when so many are willing to walk with you.
