Doug notta......yup, did see that, thanks!

This house thing.....you're not going to believe this......he just accepted my last offer.....after refusing the first 3. I'm going to make him wait then going back to my original offer.....he must think I'm a moron.

Up for a bit then back to sleep. Long ride on the Road Star yesterday to clear my head. Went and had BBQ at Local Smoke in Neptune City and wound up in Seaside Heights. Blew through Bayhead and thought of HudsonJohn and AFRay.

Roadrunner still out for front end issues, was told the new adjuster bolts were stripped? WTF? And I returned the tie rods....just want it done.

Lazy day today,just laundry and minor housekeeping. I may clean those Marx engines I just got and flip em for $15 each.

Prayers for SPRay...and Chief's ILs.....and all in need.....
Catch up later.....

Good evening all,

We had a nice day in Ohio.  Did some antique browsing in Waynesville, and went to a nice service in Seville.   Supper was good at the facility where we ate, and played some games in a parlor where we are staying.  Not a good day at the track for AJ's team, but they could bounce back tomorrow.   I hope everyone has a good day.  Prayers for SP Ray and his family.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Good Afternoon Guys!

A busy day today. Left Mom'this morning after stopping at the bakery, then down to the Ice Cream Shop to help reload the freezers. Last night they were defrosted. Then came home, repaired the mower deck on the tractor, cut the grass, trimmed and sprayed the weeds, then cleaned the turtls pen. I thought I retired!

Chief: Prayers for SIL's boyfriend.

SP Ray: First, Happy Birthday to your Son. Prayers for you and your wife. I know what you are going thru. I am taking care of Mom, who lives and hour away from me and she does not want to move. She has a few medical problems including COPD. Hang in there. It is easy to become overwhelmed. I know from firsthand. Thoughts and Prayers. Enjoy the birthday celebration.

Try to keep cool with this heatwave.

Good morning all,

This is my #2 son's birthday.  He is 50 now. No kid anymore.  He returned home from my sisters funeral in Virginia yesterday after a trying return trip home.  Plane leaving Norfolk was late due to mechanical problems.  Every one on the plane missed their connection in Washington.  He got on a standby to L.A. 4 hours later.  Got home durning the rush hour and did not get home from the airport until 6:30 last night.  Was suppose to home around 2:30 PM.

Last two days have been a challenge to me with wife having paranoia problems.  Driving me batty.  Glad son is home.  Need some more people on duty here.  My two son's want to celebrate Richard's birthday tonight.  Just what I needed.  I don't have enough to do already.  Anyway we will have to eat out.  I'm too tired to do anything.  They will have to do whatever happens.

later,

Ray

Thanks Sir J, for covering my back.  I squeezed in a new pot a few minutes before you did.

Remembering Chuck.

 

Hope all of you a great weekend [not a mess like mine].
