Banks, condolonces on your loss. I share your grief as I lost my own sister recently after a long battle with cancer.
We went to dermatologist yesterday with the tumor on wife's leg. They took some tissue for a biopsy and will call us after lab results. Then they will take it off, I hope.

Mornin' boys. A chilly 54 in the Mid-Atlantic region. Fall is here. Lots to do and see today.
Spoke with Brent for a bit last night. Always good to catch up with him.
Then the boy came over, and we carefully peeled open the goodies from the box from AZ. I was excited over the pair of Lionel K4s, numerals 2025 and 2035. He was excited over the bubble wrap...... The engines were paired with tenders 2224W and 2466T. I believe Lionel would have sold more engines if they had stuck with the former. The grandson did like helping Fifepops oil the siderods and running gear, and then we headed downstairs to the layout. Had to "wake" them up just a little, but both steamers jumped to life. The 35 even caused the big one at the bottom of one of my grades, but all good. Looks like I will be able to double-head them, eventually. A 3-dome tanker and a Swift reefer were sent for good measure. In case you guys were wondering, submmbob and I started our own little Coffee Pot Interchange, and I thank him kindly for the trade.
jefelectric - Wifey loves Annapolis, the shops, dining at Pussers, the middies in their tight white.... It's a cool event, with international flair.
Good evening all,
Banks, my condolences on your loss. Quiet day at work. Went for a short walk in misty weather. Quiet evening at home. Electrician was here today to finish his work and fix a couple of issues. Almost done. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Banks - condolances to you and your family. I know what you are dealing with is not easy. Both of my sisters have fought cancer. One won, the other did not.
On the train front, I pulled the trigger on a Warner Brothers Ambush shack the other day. The box should be arriving in the next few days. This reminded me that I need to replace the solonoid coil in my grim reaper crossing guard in the very near future.
All for now.
fifedog jefelectric - Always good to hear from you. Yep, we've had a couple mentions here about Friday @ 1300.

Humid and 82 here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Fed-Ex just delivered a package from AZ. Gonna wiat 'til grandson comes over tonight to peek inside, so that he can share in the excitement.
Banks,
Sorry to hear of your loss. Our condolences to you and your family.

Banks - so sorry for your loss. Can't imagine losing one of my sisters. As for Christina - she didn't respond as well to the first round of meds, but the second round looks very promising. Good news is the inflamation did not, and has not, spread to her eyes.Matthew is growing up much too quickly. Wish they could stay young longer, but I know they must grow up and build lives of their own. He is growing into a handsome young man and I can tell you Mommy and Daddy will sure have our hands full with these two. Both are good looking, charming, smart, and so far well behaved and likable kids.

Banksie - Sorry to hear about your loss.
Hello There,
TGIF although it is sad day. Mrs sister lost her battle with cancer last evening. The good part is she is now free of pain and learning what heaven is all about. Thanks for all your prayers.
Son is planning to start picking corn today. Hoping for a bumper crop to cover the loss of soy beans but knowing it's a so so crop.
Work has slowed to a mad dash. Got one of the field people in for a week and got the water from my nose to my neck. I'm sure missing the next couple day will be a slip back down.
Looking forward to York. Who's coming?
Brent,...........how about an update on Christina?
Thought of the Chief the other day. Spotted a pair of F units painted green and white while attending a pre-bid at the Juniata Shops.
Best get my day started.
Prayers for those in need

"My" soccer girls lost 7-0. I do not know what went wrong tonight. It was a shame to end the season on a downer note. Some work was down on the HVAC today, but I am not sure it will make wife happy. Weather was good for game tonight. Work was busier than expected. I hope everyone has a good day.
Good afternoon all,
Been running all morning with doctor stuff for the wife. Went to an urgent care place yesterday for what we thought was a boil that needed lancing. They just ordered antibiotics and told her to come back in a few days. Went to my regular family doctor this morning and it turns out to be a tumor on her leg. We were referred to a dermotologist to remove the tumor. We have to go in tomorrow for that. The people at the urgent care misdiagnosed it. Glad we got a second opinion.
later,
Afternoon fellasStill alive and kicking, nothing else has changed. [tdown]I may be able to swing getting up to York on Friday. Still working through some details, but keeping my fingers crossed. Would really like to see they guys again. Miss it.Take care.
Hello all
Clearing off here on the mountain this morning. Looks like a nice day.
Messing around w/ some of the N-gauge I have. Opened up a Minitrix 0-6-0 to clean it last night.
Got to start shifting things around the house this weekend. The big move of the layout is planned for Sunday.
Will pretty much take over the living room of the trailer, but hey, I'm single. Jeff W would be proud:)

RT, good luck. You are probably OK.

Good day at work. Weather was nice. Plumbing working at home. HVAC working in new section, but wife thinks it is too noisy. Picked PE "Letters to Santa" car at dealer on way to watching boys lose in sectional 8-0, as expected. Girls play Thursday. I hope everyone has a good day.
Good afternoon all. Thought I better check in again. I'm not on the forum a lot anymore, just can't find the time. We missed most of the heavy rain here. Daughter & family now live in NC. They've had some high water in spots but nothing like SC & no damage to their homes. Hope all are doing well. BTW, has anyone started a York thread yet? Haven't found one and only two weeks to go.
John
Aloha. Supposed to be a bit pleasanter today - I saw a hint of blue sky and didn't need a jacket this morning. Sending it all off to Points East as Chuck used to say. Class went well tonight. Dog had a bit of an issue with whatever bad thing he ate so came home late to a lot of carpet that needed to be cleaned. First world problem in comparison to so much worse stuff.
Fife, all that automatic stuff would scare the heck out of me. But I get nervous when all the lines are hidden or re-routed back to the cockpit. So much more complicated. Even in that video, if something goes wrong, that seems like far too big a boat to single-hand. But what do I know, as just a dinghy sailor. I have heard of the Annapolis Boat Show. That would be something. There might be something similar out here in Chicago.

Busy day at work. Sewer lines backed up at home, but some one is coming over to unclog them. Hope it is nothing more serious than that. HVAC people supposed to be over tomorrow to finish stuff up. I hope everyone has a good day.
rt - Just put together an exit strategy, amigo. Savie'?
Fife I'm getting the feeling I'm not out of the woods yet althou I thought I was as they say as it heads down the rivers from the north us south of it still could get flooded now being new to this area I'm not sure how close I'am to some waterways that could flood me out so I'm trying to keep a eye on it the best I can.
Been moving more stuff around today goal is to get the top of the cabinet cleared off so I can lift the top to put a couple of spacers under it where they are needed so the top trawers don't bind as they are now.
Other than that nothing new here hope all doing well talk to you all later
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

Fife, Got a real chuckle from a story that was on the news just a little bit ago. Seems a couple decided to rent a sail boat to celebrate their first anniversary. Guess it went well for awhile that is until they beached it by the Hotel Del on Coronado. Hope they took out insurance when they rented it. An anniversary to remember or someone will really be in the doghouse !

rt - Glad you're not a-treadin' water.
cnw1995 - BTW, this week is the US Sailboat Show in Annapolis. It is to sailors what YORK is to toy train seekers. You would go crazy for all the goodies. No arrows, but leave your shoes on the dock, please.
dougnottalistenintoswmbo... I work for . Just send me a plane or train ticket.
Good morning all !
Finally got some rain and cool days/nites() but the bad news is that it is supposed to get up to 100+ by the weekend .
Did get my new decking down in the backyard, now need to wait for it to dry out from the rain so I can put some stain/sealer on it. Got a lot of skunk eye looks from the better half for working on it all day with very few breaks. Won't tell her she was rite but I was totally exhausted saturday nite and all day sunday, unfortunately a very slow recovery rate.
Started work on the halloween garage layout yesterday, plan on rearranging things a bit from what we have done for the past few years.
Last friday was a good run day, no cat-tastrophies.
Time to get moving to get some things done.
Prayers for all the Carolinians in the flood zones.
Later all.
cnw1995 - ...if I were the captain of a Gunboat 66, sure. I take pride in my callossed hands, thank you.
Aloha. Grey and drizzly ... and warmer. Glad you're OK, RT. Class tonight. Nothing else exciting going on. Fife, did you see this?
