Mornin' boys. Overcast and 43 along the Potomac Highlands. S'posed to be off today, but COO said he "may" need my assistance this week...
Dougnotta - Please be carefull going out while you are susceptable... My mom watched a lot of food networks while she was undergoing cancer treatment.
Hey Y'all.
Still around, been a bit of a rough period with reaction to cancer meds. Initially no problem but of late not so good. I haven't seen my current weight since around 8th or 9th grade . Oncologist recommended drinking some Ensure to help keep weight up. We shall see. The "Better Half" is still being my chauffer on trips to the museum, I drive in then she picks me up afterwards. To pooped to do much of anything by end of day, a few times she has had to come back before end of day and get me.
Hopefully these are only short time issues.
Some good news though, we finally got the club's web cam up and running again. Drop in and take a look www.sd3r.org . Active when the museum is open, Tuesday thru Sunday.
Prayers for all in need.
Later !

Mornin' boys. Clear and 27 along the Patterson Creek cut-off.
The WMSR has been recognizing veterans the past 2 weekends, and gifting them free hotdogs and beverages (my idea). While folks are waiting to board, I spot check for military caps and clothing, ask them about their service, and honor them over the PA system over the 3 hour trip. I think it has been well received, and the passengers spontinaously applaud after each tribute.
Demay - Safe travels, sir.
Banks - I've become a big fan of bubble lights over the past few Christmas seasons.
Guten morgen,
Yesterday turned out to be quite a busy day. I took care of some normal chores in the morning, then took the boys to see the Lego Ninja movie, and then drove the Princess to and from ballet. While she was at ballet, I killed time by going to the German version of Home Depot to buy a light bulb and visiting a BMW dealership. I bought a well-used BMW when we arrived here and enjoy driving it. I am a fan of the 4-series sedan. Upon returning home I began making coconut curry and managed to slice my thumb while slicing sweet potatoes and required a trip to the ER. I did not need stitches as they were able to use glue to reattach the flap. I eventually had dinner and it turned out great. After all that I was ready for bed. Today, I depart for a work trip to Turkey and will be there until Friday night. I may not be able to post while I am there. Enjoy your Sunday.
Roy - Yep, still in Germany; just taking the easy route on dinner.
Good day,
Joe
Good day. Nice trip to Milwaukee with no drama. Going to Trainfest on Sunday. Going to Kalmbach on Monday. Hope weather cooperates. I hope everyone has a good day. Thanks to all the vets.
Thanks to all our Vets!!!!!!
The story of Christmas at Sight and Sound was incredible. Recommend you see it if possible.
Spent a couple hours today at the TCA museum in Strasburg. Really enjoyed it but a bit disappointed that the bulk of the HO on display is Marklin.Then to the nearby National Christmas Center. A great place. A couple of displays dedicated to the 50s and trains too.....Bummed to learn the place is closing in January next year. The owner is elderly and trying to sell lock stock and barrel.
Then Mass and back to the camper. It was 19 last night so I filled the water tank and put the hose away.Mrs is already crashed. I'm gonna do the dishes and join her.
Happy Veterans Day and sincerest thanks to all who answered the call.
Morning all.
Thank-you to my fellow Vet's and active duty military. We all gave some, some more than others some gave all.
Hope all have a nice day. Heading to Wal-Mart and a couple of places today, are plans for today.
Talk to you all later
Chilly good morning. Happy Veterans' Day. Off to memorial to do ceremony. Hats off to all who served.
Roy there has been some snow in the the upper half of Michigan. Nothing here yet. However Sunday's forecast is for rain mixed with some wet snow. Won't stick though. High of 40 tomorrow.
WOW cold, 28 heading to 40. Blowing leaves and froze my fingers. Need to sweep and burn leaves before the sleet gets here. Way too early for temps like this!!
Thanks Vets!!!!
Morning all!
Clear crisp 38 right now. Mid-50's for highs continue. It is very pleasant.
Dennis - glad you are pretty ok after your fall. Hope there are no other issues that pop up from it.
Mike C - yesterday was quite the pleasant day for you and the family!
For the Vets - thank you!
Well the white crap is here big time!! I'm glad I gave the snow blower a once over earlier in the week.
Nothing much on the go today. I'm going to the brother in laws for College Football Saturday. We were going to tailgate/BBQ today, but we might need to rethink it!
A big THANK YOU!!!!! to any of the Vets here, as well as any currently serving (Joe). I think of my grandfathers who served and my other brother-in-law who is still suffering from PTSD from Afghanistan. I sent him in a message this morning and I hope to someday reconcile that relationship.
Ray - prayers for your brother.
Dennis - glad you're okay. Trust me, stumbling over the dog leash is not an "old age" problem!
Have a good one.
Rob
A good day. Did some shopping for Christmas and was pretty successful for the most part. Watched daughter's 8th grad class do Peter Pan tonight and it was enjoyable. Weather was cold today but nice. I hope everyone has a good day.
Evening all!
Weather holding in 50's and clear. Still T-shirt and occasional hoodie when breezy.
Forgot to post yesterday. Busy. Got two windows out for glass repair. 3 insulated double panes - about $160. Should have them back late Monday. Holes plugged with plywood. While running across town to the glass place, the Ms and I spent a couple of hours at a big flea market/antique mall in that area. Found a couple of Corning microwave dishes we needed for $15.
Ray - continued prayers for your brother.
Uh Joe? - Digorno and Mex food - are you still in Germany????
Banks - enjoy the show tonight and TCA/museums tomorrow!
SJ - have you avoided the snow in MI?
Guten abend,
Today was busy as I expected. I spent a little over six hours at the office, but at least it was productive. No one else was there which always allows me to focus. The wife, FIL, and I ate at a Mexican restaurant for dinner while we waited for the Princess to finish ballet class. We baked a DiGorno pizza for the boys and they watched Zootopia. Tomorrow we have house chores and more taxiing to do as the Princess has ballet recital rehearsal in the afternoon. I am jealous of you who have cold weather. It has been in the low 40s and rainy here. I would like some sub-freezing temps and snow.
Prayers for Ray's brother.
Kev - That is a shame you were unable to donate; it doesn't make sense either.
Thanks Doug.
Good night,
At Sight and Sound theatre in Lancaster waiting for the 3pm Miracle of Christmas show to start. Tomorrow the TCA museum and the Christmas museum.
Later
Good afternoon, Not as cold here as Doug's but still cold.
RT, I got the replacement Kidde fire extinguisher today. They supplied a return label so I could send them the bad one. That was fast.
Saw for the second time one of the two Red foxes we have on the property. Neat looking. George the cat is not so sure he likes them.
Breakfast out this morning with my train buddies. 10% discount for veterans. Lot of them at the restaurant. Had a big breakfast, three egg bacon, avacado and cheese omelet, hash browns and busquits and gravy. Had to bring some home. Cloudy cool weather in the mornings this week and afternoon sun. Love it! Good for running trains in the garage.

Aloha. Have I really not checked in yet this month? So sorry. Like down 'south' at Kevin's, it was 12 up here this morning - felt like 2... I felt sorry for the hoody-wearing teens at the bus stop. It wasn't the best morning to get my usual very-short-hair cut. Ray, praying for your brother. SJ, I can't believe turkey day is in less than 2 weeks!
Guten tag, Joe. That reminds me - can I thank our veterans here now because their day is 'observed' today or wait until tomorrow? I thank each and every one of you who have served (and suffered like you, RT) for your commitment!

A good day to check in.
Sun but 20 degrees. 30 for the high today.
My sights are on Thanksgiving dinner, happens every year about this time. I feel a Burp coming on already.
Prayers for Captain Bill. Very quiet day at work. Good weather for walk. Going to get cold tonight. Went to see Thor tonight. Good flick. I hope everyone has a good day.
Fife lucky for him. Should see if theres any openings afterwards, sometimes they do.
