Hello there,
Sitting in the ER with Mom. Preliminary call is a mini stroke. She has had them before. If it is as before they will send her home in the morning.
Not sure how this will affect out York trip. My cousin who is staying with her is a retired Nurse Practitioner. We shall see. ....
More later
Prayers for those in need

Good evening all,
Busy day at work. Convoluted Arrow show tonight. Cold in Indiana. Really do not feel like doing much of anything in the evenings. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Well I won't be at York this spring. Looking forward to the reports.
By this time tomorrow I should be sucking wind at 5,280 feet.

Good afternoon all,
I was supposed to get a blood test at 9:00AM this morning for a life insurance/long term health care policy etc. At 8:30 the phone rings and the lady tells me that she won't be coming because the underwriter cancelled the whole thing. I never thought I would qualify in the first place because of my medical history. My financial advisor who started all this just wasted my time. At least I am due a refund for first premium.
Went to care giver meeting yesterday and counted my blessings after I heard some of the stories from other people.
Son coming home later account going to the L.A.Clipper game after work. Dinner for just us two will be sirloin steak and whatever else I can dream up.
Don, the patio looks great! You do nice work and can come over here anytime you like and do mine.
later,
Ray

Doug congrats on 26 years
Cut front lawn today took lawnmower over to neighbor's house as we help each other work on things and it made a fat liar out of me added some gas and it started right up why it wouldn't run in the fall who knows and yes there was gas in it in the fall I just added some for a extra kick as it's been sitting anyway so now don't need a new mower
May do the back in a few came in to cool down some. H2O time
Need to take some pics of more items to put on the bay that are just dust collectors and lionel made millions of lol.
Ebay about did me in glad I went and checked my auctions my last auction some how had free shipping and I normally don't do that except on higher price items where I have figured shipping in to it.

Best Wishes Doug on the 26 year anniversary! Since it is a special day for you and the bride perhaps while you are at the gas station you could pick up a couple of fresh roller dogs, big bag of Dorrito's and a quart of Colt 45, gourmet dining at it's best. Even though a wedding is on the horizon please remember your bride with that special meal tonight
Jon
So many roads, so little time.
Aloha. Colder and greyer this morning in downtown Chicago. It even snowed enough to gather on the cars in the depot lot. That sure looks welcoming, Don! Safe travels to all Yorksters. Looking forward to seeing the CTT photo.
Today is our 26th anniversary. Guess I should stop by the gas station on the way home to pick up a few gifts - a plastic flower, car air freshener, etc.
Morning all. Sunny and cool but nice. Had two busy Mayor days. Been real hectic and late getting home. Hope to do "home chores" today. Had lots of rain again. Grass to mow again. Trying to get garden planted. Tomato plants in greenhouse 2+ feet tall. Need transplanting.
Shake and Bake is doing so good he does not answer or return calls andmore [check your missed calls on cell, he doesn't know voice mail].
Have a good one.

Hi, Bet all the Yorkies are in motion.
Windy, 36 out there now and dropping below freezing tonight.
Nice work Don. Too bad about the rain. It is dry here but nothing like where your at. Just has the farmers on edge at this point.
I can't believe that when I got that swell running Marx steamer to my uncles it took off slow and died within 4 feet. I have put in a distress e-mail to Submmbob about it. So my uncle also gave me his 2011 Nutcracker 4-4-0 to work on. WOW is that design trash. There is a whole other thread on that. At any rate I got plenty to do.
Happy anniversary Doug to you and your better half!!!!
Have a good day!
BTW Don, Here is a snapshot of our back yard and the freshly stained deck. The rest past the deck is low maintenance. Goes back about 700 more feet from here. The green is coming!

Evening All, Wow 2 posts from me within one day!
Finished most of the backyard today, thought would show a couple of pics.....
Taken from outside my train room, the gray glob in the far corner is the waterfall.
And the Mill Stone, if you notice there is a G scale engine house in the lower left corner. I have a "dogbone" that runs down to the fountain and goes around the mill stone.
Kays relatives are due in tomorrow pm. I am getting X-Rays done in the am, then spend the rest of the tidying up the trainroom. Found out tonight that 21 people are invited over for an open house on Saturday. So for the most part just finished up in time.
(Sure like this new found freedom!)
Here I've been trying to get everything done before "the rain" and doesn't even sound like we will see any.
Don
Busy day at work. Some people gripe when they have no help and then gripe when they get it. Go figure. The Flash was good tonight, and Izombie was even better. Weather was sunny here today. I hope everyone has a good day.
Evening all!
Had a very busy weekend and then taking care of stuff this week to be ready for travel to York. Thus no time to post.
Banks - we are on a 6:35 am flight tomorrow to Baltimore - ugh. Return from BWI on Sunday morning.
Looking forward to seeing the gang!
Have a great day tomorrow all!
Edit - BTW we have gotten some good rain the past week. Water district talking about lifting/easing some restrictions starting in May. I may be allowed to change out my pool water.
Regards, Roy
Don, keep up the good recovery. I agree about York. Wish I could be there too.
Exchanged some of my old pool water for new yesterday after calling the water department. Got letter in the mail from the city to start watering only twice per week and not for 48 hours after rainfall but don't think we will see any of that.
Going to caregiver meeting today. Son will take over duties here.
Morning all
Sounds great Don a lot of times depending how much shorter they will build up the one shoe either inside or the sole sometimes both. ( When I worked at the V.A. they where right behind where I worked and talked to them off and on and they would explain what they where doing at the time. Sounds like your heading down the correct alley this time
Not much planned for today need to do some running around get some gas for the mower and see if I can get it going it I couldn't at the end of last year but then again I haven't drained the gas in it in the last 2 years just add to it so that could be the problem there yeah I know. any way have starting fluid to help will drain the little bit in it and put fresh and see if any old still there can get it pumped thru. will see.
Anyway thats my day for today hope all have a good day talk to you all later
Good Morning
Hope all the Yorkies find everything they are looking for! Envious of all of you!
Still working in back yard painted a water fall and fountain, they really look great! Kay's Aunt and Uncle from Milwaukee are due in tomorrow for a week visit, today will get the train room ready. Clean track, replace batteries, and minor repairs. Have a Dr appt on Thursday, hopefully he we start me on therapy. Ive really been doing great, walking with and without the cane. Definetly easier with various shoes the right leg is noticeably shorter. Need to get that resolved, with some type of device. Dont need back issues.
Kev, that steamer really looks great.
Take care all and enjoy!
Not this go 'round, Banksie.
Whities???????????
Big storms last night......Hope it didn't wash son's fresh planted Oats. Much cooler this AM. Back to early spring weather later this week. Possibly **** flurries even. Definitly take a heavy jacket for York
Fife.....since you thought York was last weekend any chance of making it?
Roy ....You're already on the road?
Laz....where are you??????????(You jumped in while I was typing)
Hope t see some of you at ROC Friday AM

Aloha. Sunny and cold downtown. At least I dressed for it today rather than freezing yesterday. Thanks for the NASCAR update, Kev. Funny, I looked around and couldn't find the delay info. Safe travels to York, everyone!

Morning,
Cold and bright here on The North Bluff. Had to get my winter jacket back out. Making chili in the crock pot for tonight and will hook up with Uncle Johnny latter to give him back his post-war Marx steamer and have lunch.
8ntruck Chief was going to drop off some pre-war whities at Fife'place???????

Gracious, that is some old undies.
Busy day at work. Almost 20 new cases. Blustery day. Did not dress warm enough for walk today. Shin splint did not bother me today. Should be good to go for the Mini. Going to watch Jane the Virgin. Saw where Princess Sparkle Pony was 9th and now 13th in points. Can you imagine if she made the "Chase"? Even more if she won it???? I hope everyone has a good day.
cnw1995 Watched the Cubs lose and Blackhawks win on TV whilst really waiting for the NASCAR race. I forget, do they run it today if rained out yesterday or do they wait longer?

Doug, It finished, but late. Matt Kenseth won. It is most times done on the next day if there is a rain out.

I have been Hauling, grading and pushing gravel today. Done for now.
Windy, cold and damp on the tractor. :-(
Afternoon fellasI'm worn out already. Bal'more traffic sucks, add some rain to the mix and rush hour and well you have a recipe that no one likes the outcome. We were 10 minutes late to Christina's appointment, sat for another 50 minutes before being taken back to see the Dr... ends up she has a bruised upper tibia near her knee, she had been walking funny (with a limp) which caused her ankle some issues, so she is now in a pink walking cast for 3 weeks. Talk about NOT HAPPY!!!! She complained the whole ride home... was about to call Don and then remembered I never got his ###.

Aloha from a misty and cool Chicago.We had pleasant-enough weather this weekend for me to begin collecting brush for the city-pick-up later this month. I also served as video director for church services which takes a good chunk of Sat and Sun. Watched the Cubs lose and Blackhawks win on TV whilst really waiting for the NASCAR race. I forget, do they run it today if rained out yesterday or do they wait longer? Dennis, I too enjoy reading what everyone is up to in different parts of the country. Anyone looking for anything in particular at York this year?
