Chief, that sounds a lot like what I had. Cellulitis is a common skin infection that happens when bacteria spread through the skin to deeper tissues.

Calling for rain today and I am taking the Colorado in for some stupid 3 month check-up. A waist of time.  Super Angry

Have to fast tonight for the AAA screening tomorrow

Good evening all,

Spent enjoyable day with grandson.  Played some card and dice games along with Sequence.  Showed him how to build with American Plastic Bricks.  He is very creative.  Mostly rested.  Weather was dry but humid.  Grass too wet to mow.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Good evening all,

We even have the grey reclusives here in PA, a friend of mine got bitten or stung, what ever they do and it took him about a year to fully recover.  They are very nasty critters.

BTW, anyone coming to York next week?

This coming Saturday we are having our 60th HS reunion.  Amazingly we have 48 classmates coming out of a graduating class of 98.  With 33 decised that is quite a turnout.

Evening all!

Waitin on the front to blow through. Lower temps will be short lived but welcome.

Chief - I have had very similar afflictions and on my inner elbow joint, both due to a brown recluse spider bite. Huge red welt and eventually a boil - incredibly painful. 

Fife - I can empathize - I worked as a mechanic/electrician at Astroworld (Houston) and Carowinds (Charlotte) amusement parks - when a major ride broke down and the public caught you as you were moving tools/parts/etc between the ride and the service shops, they really let you have it...

Aloha - sunny and beauty of a day for the Bear's big Monday night game. They should do poorly but I hope their new QB is decent. I enjoyed a quiet weekend of college football on Sarturday - at least ND won in a downpour against a injury depleted NC team. It was a boring games. Happy T'giving, Rob! Hope you are feeling better, Chief. Praying for your med issue to be resolved swiftly, Doug. Dennis, I spent yesterday picking up 10 bags of apples that fell from our trees. I ran out of gas before tackling the apples still on the trees! Glad you connected with your son, Kev.

Joe, I do too. Thanks!

Mornin' paisans.  Remnants of Nate leaving the Patterson Creek cut-off (just a rain event here).  Yesterday was forgetable.  We had mechanical issue that caused us to cancel trip after 2 attempts to leave Cumberland.  Lots of unhappy campers.  I went home miserable.  I wonder if Shake-and-Bake had those types of days (other than the broken leg thingie)...

Happy Columbus Day!

We had an extremely relaxing Sunday yesterday. After church, we enjoyed the rain from inside our house. I even had a nap. The wife made butternut squash and pumpkin soup for dinner and it was great.  I did not stay awake for the game because it started around 1:30 AM here, but the Yankees were able to hold off the Tribe and survive another day.  I do not have work today and the kids do not have school.  It looks like we may see some sun today and the high will be in the low 50s.  I should go for a run before I become busy with errands. 

Kev - I hope whatever has happened between you and your son can be resolved.

Prayers for all those in need.

Good evening all,

Rainy all day here.  Younger daughter showed up with her son.  He is staying with us the next two days and I am off tomorrow so there will be some projects with him.  Got the elevated trestle done for the Halloween exhibit.  Works fairly well, but I am not sure if the handcar is as good as the postwar versions.   It mostly works well.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Good morning, Can see my breath outside this morning,

 We,, at long last got some rain. About an inch and the ground is still hard.

Rob, I have not yet took the time to look at that engine. Waiting for a day I can't work outside.

 Yesterday I got a nice oak from Jim next door about 40' of trunk in 4 ten foot sections so I cut, split and stacked it in the wood shed.

Got a phone call last night from long lost son of mine. First time in over two years. maybe there is hope?

 

Leaves today if they dry up some.

Kev- since your post about your locomotive woes was hijacked over Santa Claus postal codes, I'll ask you here, if you were able to find anything yet?

Have a good day.

Rob 

Rob Happy Thanksgiving

The hijacking is why I requested a thread to be locked one time. This forum seems to have a lot of that.

Morning all! I'm enjoying a quiet house too, RT!! Big Smile Going to play hockey this morning (still won't give it up....). Then, off to the in-laws this afternoon for Canadian Thanksgiving. Same deal, lots of turkey and lots of football. Hopefully, my Packers will have a better outcome than my Wolverines last night. Ugly game for Blue. Sad

DougDG - fingers crossed for the meds.

Guten morgen,

We ended up staying closer to home yesterday. Instead of driving two and a half hours to Stuttgart, we went out for lunch and visited a pumpkin farm. Now, we have plenty of pumpkins to carve in to jack-o-lanterns once the wife gives us the okay; usually a week or so before Halloween. After a slow start, PSU took care of business against Northwestern.  Michigan fell again to MSU. It looks like rain today.  We will leave for church soon and then relax around the house. 

That is funny Fife. Laugh

dougdagrump - Hopefully the doctors figure out a solid plan for you.  Your friend's nephew is a hero.

Good evening all,

Finally a good day of soccer.  Grandson's team won 7-2, and granddaughter's team tied 0-0 (first non loss of the season for them).  Best of all, granddaughter played like she knew what she was doing.  She had one quarter as goalie and had no scores against her, and her field play was focused and very helpful to the team.  Plus the Indy 11 did not lose in a 2-2 tie.   As AJ would say, "All in all, it was a pretty good day."  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Evening all,

A warm one at 90 even though a front is passing through today. 90 tomorrow.

Watching Alabama vs A&M. Bama as usual totally in control, but A&M showing a little spark?

Had to make an excursion to the far north, McKinney TX, as our daughter was in a wedding and locked her keys in the trunk of her car While they were at a pre-wedding event at a hotel where they will return later tonight. So she caught a ride and the missus and I drove up and coordinated with AAA to get the car unlocked. AAA was great, showed up in 30 min. We waited at the hotel bar so no problemo...

So while we were up in that territory we ate at a nice fish place

Joe - love foie gras, esp in France...yum...good cheeses in Europe also. And wine at restaurants there is served at reasonable prices unlike here in the US.

Dougnotta - hang in there! Prayers for you Angel - your friends nephew was indeed blessed.

Regards, Roy

Howdy all !

A little disappointed yesterday, had hoped to start my cancer drug today but somebody dropped the ball. Out of force of habit I sent an e-mail to my oncologist who issued the prescription with regards to drug compatibility. Oops, seems the Atorvastatin and Carvedilol, that I have been taking for years, don't agree with the Votrient. Another delay.Grumpy Hopefully my cadiologist and the oncologist can get together and figure something out.

Just found out yesterday that a long time good friend of ours that her nephew, while shielding his wife from the Vegas shooting, got hit twice in the back. The Good Lord must have been looking out for him, the hits were one on each side of his spine but did no permanent damage. He's already home and walking just fine. They didn't remove the slugs, proboly want to wait till all the swelling goes down and then re-evaluate.

Been trying to put together the Hallween layout in the garage but it seems like it is slow going. Work for an hour or so then have to take a break for a couple of hours, oh well I got just over three weeks to finish. Thumbs Up

Hhhmm, I thought RMT closed when Walter retired.

Later y'all

. I see that RMT is now back, I wonder how soon the big warehouse finds will start.

S.J. 

Start?? I never knew they ended. Seems about every month or so he's been finding more and more in his warehouse that has to be about 20 sq miles in size by all he has found hidden in there

Slow recovery from the stay of the kids. They both do well on the elect motocycle.

We did the Moose last night for fried chicken and fish. Wife had jumbo shrimp and I had 1/2 chicken all white meat. We both had a beer and it was $17.00, Can't beat that. Yes

Had a light rain over night. No plans for today.

Guten morgen,

I ran out of time to post yesterday. The workday was as busy as expected and then I was taxi duty for our daughter as she had ballet classes. After that, the wife and I enjoyed a nice dinner out. We have a favorite restaurant we visit about once every three months. Their menu has some great classic French dishes and also seasonal dishes. Yesterday, I had duck mousse (foie gras) as an appetizer, then salmon, followed by crepes for dessert.  Of course there was wine. Today or tomorrow we will travel to Stuttgart; it is the last weekend of their Volksfest. It is their version of Munich's Octoberfest but more family-oriented. I have never been to it but I hear it great fun and much less touristy.

Thanks Banks.

Dougdagrump - I hope the meds have the desired effect.

Have a great day,

Joe
