Good Morning! 69 and RAIN! No Fishing again today!

Today is a party for my cousin Rosemarie's 50th wedding anniversary. The thing that makes me laugh the most is that they had a Polish Polka Band trying to play a Beatles' Set! So Hip, Ho, What do you know?, I want to hold your hand! You had to be there.

Enjoy the Day!

Today is an easy day. I plan on running trains this morning and watching the Indians game this afternoon. Also, a Nascar race is on TV. " The Last Ship"  is on later. Good series.

Cheerios for breakfast on the dining car.

Y'all have a great Sunday.

Ran trains with Youngest of Hunters Haven this afternoon.  We broke down the big long NS coal train.  Made a smaller coal drag.  Ran the Big Boy.  Was really raining today.  Watched Hell on Wheels tonight.

Sleep tight.

Morning all kinda a slow day today. Plan on working on the couplers of a couple of prewar train cars need to add the hook to one and the cover to two of them. Hope all have a good weekend there calling for rain here all week actually but that's fine we can always use some more rain as where are low I believe for rainfall.

Take care have fun.

Good Morning! Rainy day here so no fishing again! Today's project because of the rain is bringing back to life a PW 601 Switcher and a 2046 Hudson and 2046W tender that have been in an attic for almost 50 years. Enjoy the Day! John

Morning all.  Morning Chuck.  Glad to have the Cheerios.  Cloudy and rainy here.  Same for tomorrow.  Some hope for Monday.

Yes, Chuck.  Got him on grits and sweet ice tea for punishment.   Good side, no more kidney stones.

Not much for today.  Don't want to get soaked working at Parker's Pond.  Going to the store [Hunters Haven].

Hope all are doing well.

Later

Good evening all,

Glad I could get August started.   First time in 11 years I had pole position.  Maybe that will bode well for the weekend as Sato was 3rd quick for AJ in the second practice session today at Mid-Ohio.  Weather may complicate the weekend, but the wife and I really look forward to this event.  It is 3 days away from the madhouse of normal life.   Work was another zoo today, but left at the end of the day with most of the work caught up.  Mowed the yard tonight going the across the yard rather than up and down.  This is the slower approach, but still got it done in an hour and a half.  Had time and energy to do some grass trimming and also along the former neighbor's tree line.  Still no sign of people moving in to a supposedly sold house.   I hope everyone has a good day. 

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Good Evening! Getting ready to relax with Doray and watch some TV. Fife: I feel the same about my job and I do not think the new manager of director wants this dinosaur back. Banks: Good news about the wife's job and the concert. Bad news on the crops. Great photo of the Grandkids! SPMan, Ray: I will be glad to talk to Mike. If he does not make it to the LHS before York, I will talk to him there. Just email all of the particulars to my email at [e-mail] , Happy Birthday to your Son! Hope you feel better and good luck with the diabetes. Mitch: Glad to see your post. What kind of tinplate? Chief: Good luck with the pond. Chuck: Buckeye didn't take a trip to Roseyville???? lol Prayers for all in need. John

Thanks Mike for getting the new Pot going.  Better a Yankee than that Carpetbagger in SC.

Congrats to all.  John and his son.  Banks and his good looking crew.

Chuck, glad to see you post/  If you hadn't, I'd been calling.

Up early with Fred coming by.  We have been re-securing Parker's Pond.  What a mess.  Folks been driving around the cables put up by the bad guy [who has not done a thing since he "ran" me off].  Was told by Raleigh Sewer Supv., last time he was down there, three cars full of folks fishing.  We are having to walk in as path has now grown up in the last month since Raleigh mowed the easement.  Fred and I are on "patrol" now and armed.

Raining and windy.

Hope all have a great weekend.  

[SPMan]

Good afternoon all,

Banks, nice photo of the new grandbaby.  Congratulations!

Hudson John,  would appreciate it if you mentioned the problem I have with the Santa Fe Northern when you see Mike Wolf.  Not holding my breath though.

My youngest son is having his 50th birthday today.  Wow!  that doesn't make me feel any younger either.

Woke up with sore throat today for second day in a row.  Think I got it from my son who had it a few days ago.  I have been sleeping in a room with an opening to the outside air for swamp cooler but I turn that off at night.  Feels more like a virus than suffering from night air.

V8 Dennis, there is another site called vpike.com that has been around for a long time showing peoples houses etc.  I was able to take a tour down the street where I grew up back in Virginia.  Kind of nice for nostalgia.

Went to doctor on Tuesday and he says I have early stages of diabetes now so I have started a new diet and he wants me to lose at least 10 lbs to start with.  Back on low carb diet again.

later,

Ray

Hello there,

Quick check in.

The good news is…..Mrs has a job for this coming school year! After her classroom was taken over by the school district we were pretty sure she would but not certain.

We went to see Lee Greenwood and the Oak Ridge Boys at the Clearfield County Fair Tuesday night. Great Show!!!!!!!

Farming is still tough with the weather. Hard to get 2 or 3 days in a row to dry hay. Combined rye and didn’t get close to what was expected. Lots of stalk but the heads were blind. My theory is cool damp slowed pollination.  Garden is growing but the relatively cool weather is holding it back

New grandbaby is doing well

 

Bset get busy

Prayers for those in need

[M. Mitchell Marmel]

73 and cloudy here in Springdale, AR!  Will be invading GlitchCon with a bit of tinplatery at some point during the day...  ;-)

Hudson - Once again, congrats on the new recruit.  Certainly wouldn't want to start the job all over again, not that my agency would even give me the nod...

[Hudson#685]

Good Morning Guys, 74, Muggy, waiting for the next round of rain. It is official, Johnny is now a member of the Berkeley Township Police Department. The swearing in ceremony was nice. We took the family and friends that were there to the Forked River German Butcher for lunch which was good as always. He got his uniforms for the Academy, which are khaki and I told him that he looks like Barney Fife in it! So his rank is Recruit and after the Academy he will be a Patrolman. Mike: Thanks for starting a new Pot! Fife: Enjoy the Vacation. Almost 39 weeks to go! I got the same talk about tightening my belt also. Must be because we are loosing weight! RT: Yes, Bill paying time. Chuck: You can't beat a good afternoon nap. Doug DG: Yes, I am glad Johnny is in Berkeley Twp., NJ. I know what you mean. This Township is 56 sq. mi. including water, they patrol the Bay, Rivers, etc., with a population of 41,000. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pine Barrens. A very diverse population that varies by the seasons. "Snooki" from MTV's Jersey Shore is living in the Pelican Island section of the Township. That is next to Seaside Heights on the Southwest Side. They are busy there in the summer. lol Enjoy the Day! John

Mornin' boys.  Overcast and 71 here in the Mid-Atlantic region.  Firemen's parade tonight, then vacation starts.  Weather has been perfect in July...watch out this winter.

Greenberg Show in Timonium this weekend.  Not sure if I'm going though.  Wifey says I need to tighten my belt.  Not sure if she's speaking metaphorically or actually.

[rtraincollector]
