Good evening all,
Had a rough night last night after stomach upset. Went to pick up son returning from trip back East at the local commuter train station and got pretty sick while waiting. He had to drive us home. I still feel rough today and am eating very carefully. Took my Honda in this morning to fix air conditioner and had to leave it because they had to order the part. They gave me a rental free because I needed a car in the morning for a funeral. Had to cancell a visit to wife with some of her friends because of me. I thought I might have to go to the ER last night but I felt a little better this morning. Don't know what to do about dinner tonight. It's up for grabs.
later,
Ray

Congrats to Traindaddy on the new granddaughter. Prayers for Mom and Daughter to do well.
Comic-Con has opened in downtown San Diego, best reason around to stay home and avoid the craziness. Bad part is that the insanity continues thru Sunday evening.

Been reading, haven't posted recently.
New granddaughter (preemie) just past the five pound mark.
Convinced myself that my back and shoulder, injured about a month ago, were fine so went to the golf course. Thank goodness it rained and we had to leave after only five holes. (Back and shoulder really not that great. Guess I'll never learn!)
Decided to consentrate more on the O27 Lionel stock instead of "spreading-the-wealth" over different brands. Exchanged out a few less used RMT and Williams items.
Thanks to all who replied to my "What, another survey!" post. Appreciate it.

Mornin' boys. Cloudy and 76 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Hope to get Fifepup out on the bay today. He has been working some mad hours lately, and making good money to boot. Got Ranger back from shop. Turned out to be a fried fuel cutoff switch. No indications that middle princess is habitually backing into objects, so definitly a weird mechanical failure. Made good progress on the storage room yesterday, even locating an old dvd player, to replace the one that grandson and nephew wore out.
Demay - I'm all about Rails & Sails.
Today seemed to fly by; however, work had its slow moments. It rained most of the afternoon and I believe rain is in the forecast for the rest of the week. The wife made fritata for dinner and a strawberry tart for dessert. Afterwards, we watched the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie; it was entertaining.
Fife - Close; our anniversary is in October. We truly believe our youngest will join the Navy one day. He must have over 20 boats/pirate ships in this house. Fortunately, he enjoys trains as well, but boats are his first choice. And he does look pretty gnarly when he wears an eye patch.
Good night,
Joe
Hello all
Been a little while since I posted last.
Doug in SD - glad you are doing better
Lion88 - have to find something in International Red to start Matthew off right:)
Don - have been messing around w/ the fuel senders on both the Corvairs. We are 0 and 1 so far. Have fun w/ the El Camino. Does it have the feedback carb on it still? Those can be very entertaining.
We managed to sort out the low voltage wiring on the Brill car last weekend. Once the kids finish the painting they are doing maybe we can think about trying to move it under power (once the air tanks are back in that is:)
And I drove the Corvan for the first time in almost 7 years on Sunday night. A short trip, but it did fairly well. Bill said the smile on my face was something to see:)

Good Evening Dudes & Duettes,
Family has headed back home to Ky. My sister comes out fairly often but especially when I have some hospital time. Between my BetterHalf and my sister I am constantly getiing the skunk eye and catching heck when I deviate from any of my Dr's orders. I just can't imagine how a polygamist could handle multiple wives.
Debating on whether or not to go to the museum for awhile come friday. I am still forbidden from doing any lifting plus I haven't been cleared to drive yet. The BetterHalf said she would take me down and pick me up later in the day. Did discover something that nobody had mentioned, while visiting with family and friends on the 4th everyone was commenting on how well I was doing when a friend commented about ICD interference warnings. Seems his sister who required a pacemaker discovered that her Infinity with remote start required some sort of modification to prevent possible interferrence with her pacemaker. Since my wifes Nissan was due for service we checked with the service manager and he had to check with Nissan, her particular model is no problem. Better safe than sorry.
Not much happening, just a little stir-crazy.
Later all.
Mentally, a very exhausting day at work. Bad news, my game was postponed due to field being too soggy. Good news, the high school team had practice indoors tonight so I still got my soccer in. Still lots of rain in Indiana. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
The rainy season here has not ended. 2.3" in the gauge yesterday. That makes 17+" in three weeks. Would be nice to send some of it to CA. They can have the skeeters too.
Fighting off a summer cold I picked up fishing in the cold and rain last week up north.
Not much else.

Heh-hem, sounds like NOVEMBER was the busy month Demay, send that youngest to me for the summer. I can them up propper, and teach the fine art of raiding dockside pubs all over the upper Chesapeake. May even send them back to you with a hook or peg.
Good evening,
It's late here and I am about to go to bed. We had a busy day as today was our youngest child's birthday; he turned five. All three of our kids were born in July so it is a busy month for us. I only worked half of the day so I could get home and the family and I could go bowling for his party. Afterwards, we went out for pizza and came home for cake. We then watched the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie and half of the second one. Our youngest is enthralled with pirates.
Mike C and SJ - We have been getting plenty of rain too. This is my first time living in Ohio and it seems as if June was similar to Japan's rainy season which occurred in June every year.
Good, quiet day at work. Lots of RAIN in Indiana. Not much else going on. I hope everyone has a good day.
Good afternoon all,
V8 Dennis, you'll have to excuse my innocence. I feel like I am out of the loop about Allied closing. First I have heard of it. Are you talking about the present day shop that was taken over by the Whistle Stop a while back? That was across the street from where Alan Drucker's store was. I first met Alan back in the early 70's. John King and Alan were the autioneers at TTOS Southwestern back then and in my opinion, the best we ever had. After John King's passing, Alan continued for a while by himself. He was sorely missed when he decided to move on. I believe he either leased or sold the original store that was modeled after L.A. Union Station to some camera company but sold the train business to the Whistle Stop and was moved across the street to another building. I think Alan still holds private train auctions once a year or at least he did.
Mornin' FellasBack from vacation to AL. Was nice to see the family and let the kiddos run around the farm with their cousins. Was not nice to have to deal with one young cousin who apparently knows not what discipline is. Had so set said young cousing straight a couple times as he would come into the house screaming at the top of his lungs and would wake Matthew up from his nap.Matthew now refers to all tractors as 'John Deere' no matter the make or color. He does love his tractors... seems one may be in his future for Easter next year. Christmas or his birthday would be inappropriate since he wouldn't be able to ride for months and that would be torture to him.Took the kids to see the Gadsden train display. Both really liked it, but Matthew was simply enthrawled. Christina kept telling me 'Our trains are bigger... I like them more.' Then as we were leaving 'Daddy, can we run MY Thomas when we get home?' Sure do love that kid.

It was just another Monday here. I did enjoy a 10-mile run this morning. Fortunatley, it was about 66 degrees when I started at 0600. We had a quiet evening at home. I have three listings on eBay right now; two have bids some I am happy. I am trying to get rid of some FasTrack I no longer use. I hope you all had a great day.
Evening all!
Still upright. Thanks for all the support. Even better today.
Fife - I was looking forward to your "care". Assume therapy involves flanged wheels!
Watched the NASCAR race until 12:30 EST and gave up. Was happy to see the news this AM that Junior won Daytona again. Wow. Austin Dillon in the fence. Amazing he walked away and no fans seriously hurt.
hmmmm - Chief politic'n again me thinks there's scurvy on board!
Have a great day tomorrow all!
Regards, Roy
A warm day for a walk. An interesting day at work with a lot strange things going on, some good and some have you scratching your head. Got to practice with "my" soccer girls. Did a little bit of mowing. I hope everyone has a good day.
RT can't win, Chief pays me for all 4 of my votes....
ChiefEagles Off to Raleigh to file for another 4 year term as Mayor.

Word has it that RT is going to run against you!!!
Good morning all,
Got a new pastor at our church who was introduced yesterday. Had reception after mass. Also a retired monsignor is going to be living with us at the rectory. He seems to be a very nice man. I think all the parishioners are looking forward to a good relationship with the new man.
Forcast is for cooler weather this week. I welcome it.
Hope to get palm trees trimmed this week. They are raining debris on my cars. They usually go to seed this time of year.
Might get some more time on the train layout if the cooler weather holds this week.
Roy, glad you are upright now.
Dougnotagrump, hope your health is on the mend.
Chief, good luck on another term.

Good morning from a humid North Bluff.
They are calling for rain this afternoon then all week. I see the farmers doing re-plant beans. Too late for the corn. First time since I was a kid that there is corn only knee high on the 4th of July.
Sunday was not a bad day, I put 60+ miles on the 1975 Triumph Trident and wifey road for 30 of them, She rides good, Would not know she is there if the bike was not sunk into the suspension from her 140 extra pounds. She has not had a ride in over 3 years.
Started out messed up. Gas running out of the right bank carb when I was driving but not when it was on the center stand. So I re-set the float and it ran PERFECT!
Got all of the grass but around the house cut before the next 4 days of rain. Staid away from her and avoided cleaning and washing the wood siding on the back of the house. ;-) Cut grass and weed whacked. She is going to do windows next.
Roy, I gave up on NASCAR and still don't know if they got done.
Mornin' boys. Rainy & 80 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Gotta take middle princess's truck to garage for something that keeps stalling her engine. Spent some time in the layout room yesterday, painting details on 2 bobber cabooses. Man are my eyes getting bad, and to think I was once big into N scale... Went through a stack of old MR mags for recycling day.
Banks - We've had a huge up-tick in boating accidents on the Chesapeake as well. In my opinion, 90-95% are caused by poor decisions. And a good percentage of those are people "hitting their mark"....literally...
Roy - I'd like to think that the thought of me coming to nurse you back to health, played a huge part in your speedy recovery...
Pretty much back to 100%. Survived 4th of July week with lots of friends and family activities so no time to post.
DougdaG - just had time to catch you have been worked on. Get better soon!
Womens soccer - go USA. Had to follow on line as local Fox station transmitter went out.
NASCAR - well 4+ hrs and still waiting to start the race. How late will they go?
Hello There,
Demay.....come back more often
Great job by the US Women!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad everyone had a good 4th.
Ours went well. Spent Friday catching up some details of Mom's paperwork and trimming overgrown bushes. Had an additional 3+ inches of rain Friday night. (needed that like I need a hole in my head) Slept late and did picnic prep Saturday. 10 Lb of wings and 5lb of drumsticks were fried along with all the fix'ns. Perched in the driveway to wath the local fireworks. They wern't as as good as usual because one of the two permitted locals didn't do it this year.
Fife ....sounds like a great way t watch fireworks. To bad abut the boat that hit the barge in Kentucky
Best get t sleep
Prayers for those in need

USA! USA! USA! It was a great win. I thought the game was over in the first 20 minutes, but Japan made a game of it with it being 4-2 at one point. Fortunately the US answered back and put the game away. The one goal by Lloyd from midfield was awesome!!!! I hope everyone has a good day. I know I did.
