Good evening all,
Made better time today. Only 6 hours from Wilmington to Princeton, WV. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Made it home today. Ran into heavy around Cincinnati area. Indiana has been pounded by rain all this week so far. Fields were too wet to play tonight. Back to work tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good day.
Evening all!
91/92 today but still 91 at 9 pm and 87 at 10 pm. 95 tomorrow.
Mike C - glad you made it back OK.
Nothing to report tonight.
Regards, Roy
Mornin' boys. Partly sunny and 71 in the Potomac Highlands. In a little while will be headed into work to help decorate Frostburg station for Christmas. Care to guess my "role" this weekend...?
Steak, (crab)cake and tonight.
Hello there,
a whole day yesterday with no posts????
Vacation continues. Salisbury Zoo and Toy Town yesterday (4 new in box Tyco cars,cheap. They were there last trip but I passed ) then a couple hours at the pool. .hot tub.

Best move on.
Prayers for those in need

95 right now. High 90's rest of the week. Summer has showed up!
Lawn looks good for first time in 10 years. Had enough rain this spring and with lakes full allowed to water the lawn twice a week this summer.
So Fifer - summer, a red suit, "sandy claws"?
My best game in a long, long time went for naught as we were outmanned most of the game. I had more touches tonight than the whole season combined and for one game I think I got some respect from the team. It felt good. Work went well today and there is not much to catch up on. Weather was hot. I hope everyone has a good day.
Rain overnight, Hi of 88 today.
We needed rain but it's coming as storms instead of a nice steady rain.
No train news. just enjoying summer as the days get shorter already..lol
If there's a new CTT out there I still haven't got one.

Morning all.
S.J. I believe they don't do August. You should be getting September soon thou.

RT your probably right I checked and have July. It sure seems like a long time between though.
Afternoon all!
95 right now. Toasty out as we say!
It's approaching 5 o'clock if ya know what I mean
CTT - yep, seems like a long gap in the summer - and you seem to get the July issue in May....
Doc appts today followed by a "haircut" - or what I call subsidizing those with hair. I wait as long as possible between "cuts" to somewhat get my money's worth.
Good Afternoon from toasty 90°F Southern Ohio,
I’ve been crazy busy at work and at home this week. I’m off the next few days and have several Honey Do’s in the que. A high priority will be to make another chicken feeder. The broiler chicks (AKA eating machines) are emptying the feed trough several times a day. I made one last year but it is in the coop with the laying hens. And there is some painting, replacing a photocell on the outside light post, more boxes to unload and hopefully get the train boxes moved. We’re going to go get the youngest from Church Camp tomorrow. From the Facebook postings she seems to be having a great time.
About time for shift change and a shower.
May God bless
Jim
That is why I subscribe to MR and Trains to get a train "fix" every month during the CTT bimonthly time period. Work was good today, but had some more intestinal issues. Recovered enough to show up for game. Our contest was the only one not forfeited among the 4 scheduled, but we only had 7 players so maybe we should have spared the energy. I played well again so it was not a total waste. I hope everyone has a good day.
Mornin' boys. Overcast and 72 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Yesterday was so humid, that when I stepped onto the platform to punch tickets, it looked like a sprinkler went off in my hat. Embarrassing. The evening CinJ train was better, but very light. I looked more like Santa Garcia...
Same schedule today, but a little cooler temps.
Morning all!
A very toasty 82 already this morning. 95 today. Full sun
fifer - stay cool!
Phish - good luck with the feeder!
Mike C - hope the intestinal issue is resolved?
Mornin' All !
No trains doin's of late. Spent some time yesterday with the Marquis de Sade, a.k.a. a physical therapist. I sure wouldn't want to make that gal angry, I'm sure she could really put a hurt on ya.
The week before last discovered an almost baseball size mass/lump/or something. First thought was that the cancer had returned, but thankfully it turned out to be a hernia. Not that a hernia is fun but it beats the h*** out of a cancer diagnosis. Should be meeting with the surgical staff next week to set a date for a repair job.
Later all.

Dougnotta - guess that is good news - prayers for you!
no TGIF this week. Gotta go back to reality tomorrow.
Been a busy week at the beach. SIL chartered a fishing boat this PM. Spent 4 hours in the bay. Caught several flounder but no keepers.
Doog good luck with the surgery.
Best get t bed. Gotta pack and be left by 10AM.
Kilroy was here.
Hot and humid here. Heat index in the 100+. Only .25 inches of rain all week. Been watering.
Had to replace ignition switch in 97 Silverado. Cranked it and had code. No tach, no speedometer and no shift indicator. Fuse fine. Truck ran on in drive. Fixed now.
Still on tick meds. Have specialist appointment Wed.
Have a good one.

Hello there, back from da beach.
Only 3 posts since last night. One of them was Kilroy. What's up with that?????
Goin to shower and then bed.
95 today and showers. Cooled off a bit. Slightly below normal temps for next week. 95 avg, normally 98.
Grilled out some chicken and spent the evening on the back porch.
Banks - welcome back! Hope you had a great trip.
Kilroy is always welcome
Sorry for the non-post on Friday. Work was good on Friday and weather was better for walk. Mowed the yard with the big mower. Grass was tall and took over 2 hours Friday night. Came inside, sat in chair and fell asleep. Wife woke me up at 11:30 to go to bed. Got up at 7 AM on Saturday to go watch grandson's baseball games. The team lost both games, but was more competitive than last week. Indy 11 won again. Foyt team at back of pack again. I hope everybody has a good day.
Morning all. Not a lot going on here. Rain last night was a flood you would think. Suppose to get more today.
Hope all have a good day
Nice day weather wise. Grandson's team lost 17-2 as he was the only one to drive in any runs. Foyt team was 15th and 17th today. Worked on the honeysuckle bush again. Tried to take axe to the base, but it bounced right off. I trimmed back as much as I could with limb saw. Will have Lucas take a chain saw to it next time he is here. I hope everyone has a good day.
Evening gang,
Nice warm one today but the humidity came up fast. 95
Spent the entire day working on presentation to property tax appraisal board. Hearing is tomorrow at 11:30. Raised my structure value by 25% and used comps where extensive renovations/upgrades have been done. My house is just the same as in 1977. Maintained but not upgraded. Wish me luck!
Mike C - you did not say the diameter of the trunk - if not too bad tie a chain around it and rip it out of the ground with a come-along or a pickup truck (Or a come-along tied to my pickup). I have done this extensively and it gets most of the roots out also. If you have or can borrow a small tractor even better.
Mornin' boys. Pheewwww...made it through the weekend. It was a labor of love, that's all that can be said for our Christmas in July event. Had a short blurb on the local news as well. Came home, ate some meatloaf, and pretty much collapsed onto the big comfy couch.
Roy - Here's 1 for you 19 for me....
Good Morning Boyz & Gurlz !
As had been said earlier summer is here ! Now the monsoonal humidity is coming this week, gonna hate to see the electric bill for this. Oh well, it beats sitting and stewing in your own sweat.
Dennis, You see those ambulance chasing shysters on TV all the time who are only concerned with one thing, MONEY MONEY MONEY ! Theirs not for you.
Hoping to hear from the surgeon today so we can set-up the pre-op meeting. After last Nov's nephrectomy and the reaction I had to the anesthesia that will be the #1 item on my agenda.
Fife, You may have been pooped when you got home but it is still something I'd bet you truly enjoyed and will cherish the memories.
Time to get a move on, PT exercise time.
Good Afternoon from sticky 85°F Southern Ohio,
Hope all had a good weekend. It was busy around here. The youngest had a great time at church camp. As proof she has a count down on the white board in the kitchen for when sign-ups for next year open, as it fills up fast.
I made some progress on the Honey Dos; I made the chicken feeder and gave the “new design” to the layer hens and gave the Eating Machines (broiler chicks) the old feeder. Yard work took up a lot of the rest of the weekend. I’m recovering parts of the yard that had been let go for some time and it is looking nice. We’re looking into building a fire pit. There is plenty of firewood here and we enjoy sitting around a fire in the evenings when the weather cools.
Got to go
