Good Afternoon from wet and a cool 53°F Southern Ohio,
Youngest daughter, her significant other, his mother and her dog are now back on the left coast in Hollywood. We had a nice week- long visit, topped off with a Reds ballgame Sunday afternoon and Skyline for supper.
On the new to us house front, the owners will be moving out tomorrow and we can start moving in later this week. The to-dos are paint one bedroom, run a gas line to the utility room and build a garage big enough for my dually and civic. The painting and gas line are for this weekend I think. The garage I’ll hopefully get built by winter. Mary’s van and my wood working tools will go into the existing garage. Everyone is getting excited about the move.
May God bless
Jim
Sounds great Jim. New places are always a adventure. ( usually a good one at that)
We have decided to stay where we are. We will add on if necesary ( I say it is. ) and deal with that in a couple of years. Looking forward to having this place paid off come this time next year at the latest. The plan is January but may take till March.

Good evening all,
Quiet day at work. Pain one was gone. Pain two was about to bust to ask why I was moving, but could only bring herself to ask why I did not tell anyone. LOL. Wife was away at her sisters so I had a quiet night at home as well. Izombie comes on soon. Weather was warm and dry for walk at noon. Moving day is tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Evening all!
Been warm here. Unlike Doug and Kev, it has been one of the warmest winter/early spring seasons here.
Mike C - on the office move!
Buckeye - good luck with the surgeon's checkup tomorrow!
Phish - glad the move is progressing well!
Don & Ray - glad you guys met up at the train show!
Getting the boat ready to go to dealer for service and de-winterization tomorrow -$$$
Regards, Roy
Off to bed. Been busy. Been cloudy, chilly and damp.
Roy, you are right. New wireless stuff is junk. Had to pull out my old single channel one. Works fine.
Buckeye, good luck. Get well.
fifedog A pair of Orioles showed up at our back yard yesterday. This was exciting, as I'd never actually seen a real Oriole in my 50+ years. Fifemom said to set out a sliced orange. Saw the male again this morning. Love it.

Lived in Baltimore and never went to an Orioles' game?

Mor. Ninggg. I guess like a lot of other beings, they just couldn't take living in or around Baltimore any longer. I've been to many Orioles (MLB) games at Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards...
Still prepping garage. Didn't realize how many screws holding up those white storage racks. Wifey had me change gears and go grocery shopping mid-morning.
Happy Birthday Chuck! Miss you.

Good Morning from overcast 57°F Southern Ohio,
A little history trivia; On May 10, 1869, a golden spike was driven in Promontory, Utah, marking the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States.
The kids are filling boxes with their stuff, and collecting the clothes they’ve out grown to give away. I brought home some more heavy duty boxes for my bride to pack her cookbooks in. The garage is filling quickly with stuff we’ll move.
I’m making another rabbit cage rack for the two New Zealand does we have. I made two 24 x 30 cages and now make up the rack to hold them. It makes the cages easy to clean and use a minimum footprint.
Scholastic Banquet is tonight and the kids are all invited for their grades. This is a big improvement from last year at this time.
Buckeye – Never think of blueberries or cheerios without thinking of Chuck!
Blueberry Hill will never be the same for me again.
Prayers for those in need.

Hello there
RIP Chuck.........Miss Ya
Does anybody know how WES is doing?????????????
Also Pat from Virginia?????????
Phish.....sounds like the transition is in motion. Got the old house sold?
Dragging today. Didn't get to bed till 1AM. Had Mom at the ER. UTI and possible heart attack Seems her same old self this morning.
Best move on before I fall asleep

Another beaut of a day. Low 80's and sunny.
RIP Chuck. Think of him every NASCAR weekend.
Banks - prayers for your mom
Got the boat all together (batteries installed, wake tower installed, checked sea-cocks operation, trailer tires checked, etc.) and drove her 60 miles to the dealer/shop for new impeller, oil, etc., and detailing.
Good memories of Chuck! Got the move done today. Very quiet where I am now. Nice. Blood pressure dropping already. Nice weather for a walk today. Had some rain on the way home. I hope everyone has a good day.
Chuck was a great man that shared his knowledge and enjoyment of this hobby with everyone. I am certain he is missed by many.
I haven't posted since last month. It is acting like summer here lately - high 70's, low 80's and spotty thunder stormes.
I've put an order in for the Lionchief Berkshire Pere Marquette version. It will show up someday.
The other train activity I've got going is the G gage layout in the KATY depot freight house. This will be an elevated around the room layout. I've got the brackets made (bent wood), and the track got here yesterday. Going to start getting the thing mountes this weekend. We've got a kid's program scheduled in another week, and I hope to have it running for that.
About all for now.
Hello there.
Quick check in to welcome kblester. Come back and tell us about yourself.
Best keep moving.
Morning all. Not a lot planned for today. Going to get a ultrasound on my ticker this afternoon, but that's about it for today. If it's nice out tomorrow might try and cut grass before the rain comes in.
Hope all have a good day
Hello there, where is everyone this AM?
I'm wandering a Wally World waiting on the electrical inspector for the remodel here we just completed.
Trip to ortho doc confirmed my suspicion. Torn rotator cuff. Not bad, but enough that chances of it healing are slim. Surgery scheduled for July 24, after vacation because recovery is 6 weeks in a sling followed by several more of limited use. A bit frustrated because 3 years ago the pain was purported to be caused by Arthur. Finally got to a point where moment a certain way hurt like a hot poker.
Inspector here.Gotta run.
Prayers for those in need
Morning all!
Early yet so nothing to report.
Banks - thanks for the warning. I'm gonna avoid Arthur so I do not get a torn rotator cuff!
8n & kb - welcome back!
Mike C - congrats on the successful office move!
Maybe 60 today, lite rain overnight is gone now. Sun by afternoon. If Da Chief stops in tell him I got my hairs cut. He doesn't believe that I have more than one.
Good afternoon,
Supposed to get hot down here the next 2 days, around 90. May rain this weekend and slightly cool things off.
Went to get some x-rays this morning, hopefully nothing serious. Doctor wants to get information about me because there are no current x-rays on file.
Hopefully I may run some trains this afternoon or work on the wiring for my layout. Have all the track installed but don't have all the transformers hooked yet, also need to wire about 3 switches.
Trying to stay cool down here in southeast Florida.

Hello there,
TGIF!!!!!
Test &Tune at the Drags that was rained out last month is rescheduled for tomorrow. If the guessers are right it'll be rained out again. At least both machines are ready but he's got very little seat time on the bike .
Yard work is piling up but looking like it's going to have to wait another week.
Best get the day started.
Good morning,
Counting the days until I am not confined to the house. A kidney stent is about the same thing as an ankle bracelet.
Sadly an erea is coming to an end. This photo was taken in Berea, Ohio in 2003 as we constructed the new underpass on Bagley Road.
Buckeye Riveter Good morning, Counting the days until I am not confined to the house. A kidney stent is about the same thing as an ankle bracelet.
They finally caught you. Get well.
Cloudy and chilly 54 degrees. Had T'storms last night. We were spared the bad stuff. Just got big rain.
Getting rid of the Samsung phone today. Their latest upgrade was horrible. Not user friendly. Folks complaining. Samsung says not reversable. Lost one customer to LG.
Banks, not good. Frankie had his done. Sorry. Painful. Friend Fred is now recovering from his. Long road. Good luck.
Haven't heard from Pat in a while. Use to get an occasional email from him. Will reach out.
Off to Dr. Another tick bite "gone south".
Hope all have a great weekend.
61 heading to 70 with full sun. Going to be nice.
Got my Cat call yesterday about getting set up for the medicare supplement program. I don't think they could make it any harder or more confusing. Ugh!

Evening all,
Dennis - that is some experience you had. Glad they have a handle on it for you. Prayers for your quick recovery .
Hope Ray is doing ok?
Kev - I get to apply for Medicare July 1. What a nightmare. So complicated. Should not be that way...a buddy of mine made an error when he signed up last fall ... Now in Medicare administrative "hail".
Buckeye on lockdown. Something to do with da Chief?.....
Roy I know what you mean. Wife gets it 1 June. Tried to email you but you must have a new one as it came back as mail demond.
Evening all. I bought a 2014 Chevy Silverado today. Selling my old one to neighbor as he needs a good truck at a low price. So he will be happy.
Mornin' boys. Damp and 48 along the Patterson Creek Cut-off. Back to the garage painting today. Phish, do yourself a favor and become a Sherwin-Williams rewards member. Lots of 30-40% discounts, and it really is far superior paint to the big home improvement chains.
V8Vega - Best regards on your recovery.
Dennis....So glad everything went well.
Foggy today in Buckeyeland.
Of course Sherwin-Williams is great paint. Sherwin-Willisams is headquartered in OHIO.
Roy I am already taking my SS so it was all automatic for me. Starts 8-1-17. It is the supplement purchase that I am working through.
Good to hear all went well Dennis!
57 heading to 77 with full sun. Drying out and not much on my plate. Good day to screw off.
